A DOUBLE TAX.
The Merchants oppose the County
License Ordim ance.

The Merchants oppose the County
License Ordinance.
There is good deal of opposition on
the part of the merchants Of this city to
to the proposed county license tax. The
ordinance fixing the rate of license for all
branches of business transacted any
where in the county has been passed by
the Board of Supervisors and is awaiting
the necessary steps to make it law.
The country merchants oppose the
measure because they do not feel able,
in the present condition of business, to pay
any more taxes. But the most vigorous
objections come from the city merchants
who are already paying a license under
the city ordinance, and who will thus be
compelled to submit to double tax.
1t is asserted that experiments in the
way of special county tax covering the
territory of the cities included in the
county where license is already as
sessed by ordinance, have been tried be-
fore in this State and have always been
overthrown in the courts on the ground
that they are instances of double taxa
ton. The tradesmen propose to fight
the tax in the courts if their protests to
the Board of Supervisors are of no avail
and the measure becomes law.

MURDER AT ORC GRANDE.
III. Adams shoots and Kills J. G.
Collins.

II. Adams shoots and kills }. G.
Collins.
Last evening word was received by
Coroner Wainwright that a man had
been killed at Oro Grande, and request
ing that he come at once and hold an in
quest.
The doctor left this morning, and sent
the following dispatch this afternoon to
Sheriff Seymour:
URo GRANDE, Aug. 8, 1889.
Sheriff E. c. Seymour:
q. Adams, Constable here, shot and killed J.
G. Collins last night. Both were drunk at the
time. Adams says Collins resisted arrest. In
quest going on now G Case looks bad for Adams
He is under arrest and will bring him in with
me. G. o. WAINWRIGHT.
When the train arrived this afternoon
Times Inde1 reporter intervived man
who had just come from Oro Grande and
who was there last evening when the
shooting occurred. He states that Adams
and Collins were both enamored of the
same woman, and that they met yester-
day and had some words about her and
almost came to blows, but friends inter-
fered, and the two men took drink and
agr eed to say no more about the matter.
They kept their agreement all the after
noon, binding it stronger every few min
utes by taking a drink together, and
swearing eternal friendship for each
other. This course was kept up all the
afternoon, and until about O'Clock in
the evening, when Collins, who was
pretty drunk, got sleepy and wanted
to lie down on the ground and have
a nap.
Adams objected to this and told him
that he could not go to sleep there, nor
anywhere else, as he was going to arrest
him. Collins sobered up little upon
hearing this remark and asked what he
had done to cause his arrest, when
Adams replied that it was none of his
id business, and ordered him to come
along with him. Collins said that he
would not 20, and Adams drew his pistol
and deliberately shot and killed him.
He then attempted to escape from the
town but the citizens caught and held
him until the Coroner arrived, when he
was turned over to that officer.
The prisoner will be brought to this city
tomorrow and if he has committed g
murder it is liable to 60 very hard with
him. San Bernardino Index of Satur-

ness portion of the to in their Gus.
tomary fashion. Seveid horses driven
by ladies we're scared into fits, but no Sc.
rious runaways took place. 1t is no!
impossible that the army may do better
next week, make little more noise with
their drums and tambourines, and per.
haps frighten some skittish horse 80 that
he will run away and dash the brains
out of his driver.
When this army first began operations
it used to be rather more modest in its
maneuvers. 1t was contented with a
file OF two abreast, and was accustomed
to march along near the gutter. Yester-
day it made very imposing display in
the middle OF the street, spread out to
cover nearly half of the thoroughfare.
With their garish uniform and Haunting
banner, and the uprcar of their alleged
musical instruments, they were well cal
culated to terrify any animal not Of the
meekest disposition.
AS the army was passing the corner Of
Spring and Second streets, yesterday af-
ternoon, a man driving sulky down the
middle of the street decided that as the
procession was not licensed by special
ordinance Of the Council to take up all OF
the road, he would not turn out for them
So he drove right into the crowd. 1t is
a part of the theory of this chu-ch mill
tant that they must not submit to bull
doing on the part of the mammon of
unrighteousness. They therefore rallied
and withstood the attack. The horse
prsnced about over the feet of the
"soldiers" and succeeded in showing
some of them out OF line. One of the
red coated veterans even tried to strike
at the animals head and the driver re.
sponded by cutting the fellow with his
whip. 1t looked as though general
row was inevitable, but the disturbance
finally ended by the horse shying out of
the army, whereupon the soldiers re.
sumed their march.
Some time ago a number of these peo-
pie we're arrested and tried for disturbing
the peace, but they were dismissed, and
some outcry was raised about their being
subjected to persecution. A complaint
was recently sent to the City Council
signed by large number of merchants
and residents on Third street asking that
their serenades held nightly in that
vicinity for hours at time be stopped.
The petition was referred to the Police
Commission. This body by way of vary
ing the dullness OF their ordinary pur-
suits of beheading policemen and
changing Chiefs, decided to indulge
in a little joke. The communication
was referred back to the Council, with
the suggestion that they request the
army to make better music.
1t is not impossible that if the police
should make another trial to
sop these parades, that, in view of the
large number of runaways which have
resulted from their performances, ,the"per
would ba more of a success.

The Introductory races OF the new Los

took place on the track at Seabright,

Denny Kelleher and his trainer Pete
Mccoy took trip to Long Beach on Sat-
urday last and spent the afternoon as in
terested spectators of the Los Angeles
Driving Park Association races. The
Quincy boy is looking remarkably we'll
and is as hard as nails. He weighed in
his clothes 162 pounds, and will probably
fight on the night of the twentieth inst.
at 10 pounds less than this weight. I'm
der the careful surveillance of his artful
trainer he will be in excellent trim and
his hackers are confident of success.
Joe Ellingsworth is down at Santa
Monica and quite large crowd of sports
visited his quarters yesterday, anxious to
take glance at the famous middle

weight, and when his brother John has
put the finishing touches to his prepara-
ton, his condition will leave nothing to

A MAN AND A BULL.
A Queer story Told at the Police
station.

n VuccE StOHt AOlu as the FOIlCt
Station.
Yesterday evening about half-pa six
O'Clock, a small boy rushed into the East
Side Police Station and informed Officer
McKeag that man had been gored to
death by bull on Griffin avenue. Nc.
Keag at once hastened to the scene. 1t
was yard in the rear of Mr.. Mason's
house on the corner Of Griffin avenue and
Patrick street. But he failed to find the
corpse. On inquiry he learned that an
! old man named William Martin had been
found lying unconscious in the yard with
blood on his face, and standing over him
was vicious bull, which was allowed to
run loose on the premises. The neigh
bors who saw him, Immediately jumped
to the conclusion that old Martin had
been gored by the animal, and boy
was dispatched to the station to notify
the police.
An investigation was made by Nc.
Keag, and the old man was ultimately
discovered in an empty shanty, where he
had barricaded himself. After little
persuasion he was induced to tell the
officer how he happened to be lying in
the yard. he said that young man
named Gus Bowett had struck him on
the left cheek-bone with rock, during
dispute which occurred between them,
and that he was stunned by the blow.
When he recovered consciousness, the
bull was standing over him snorting al
the blood which flowed from the wound
caused by the stone. After soaring the
animal away he got up and went into his
shanty.
AS he was not seriously hurt, Bowett
was not arrested, but the officers will
keep him in sight until today, when ol
Martin will file complaint against him
for battery. DIR. Carlyle was called upon
to attend to Martins wound, which was
only flesh wound on the left cheek.

The Late Prize Ftght-LOng Beach
Races-Other Matters.
During the past few days good deal
of comment has been made by members
Of the sporting element of this city,
relative to the stand taken by the local
press in regard to the recent fight at the
Southern California Athletic Club. In
almost every case general denial has
been made to the statement that the
contest ended in general confusion and
what nearly approached free fight. In
point of fact, the report Ms given in the
columns of the HERALD on the morning
subsequent to the Mahan Mulholland
fight was drawn very mildly, for a more
disgraceful scene than that which
actually occurred could not be imagined.
A prominent sporting man, in an inter.
view with HERALD reporter, yesterday,
said:
"No one is to blame for the disgraceful
wind-up of the Mahan- Mulholland fight,
but the directors themselves. Ii they
knew what was best for the interests OF
the Southern California Athletic Club
they would refuse admittance to all that
rough element which disgraced the
benches round the ring on Wednesday
night last. Some of the worst characters
in the city were present at that fight,
and as long as they are admitted the
better element will stay away. 1t
is all very well to say
beforehand that this class of men will
behave themselves when admitted on
sufferauce. But it has been demon
strated over and over again that they
will assert themselves in spite OF their
surroundings every time. This club is
said to be organized on the same prin-
ciples as the California Athletic Club
but it can never hope to approach the
standing of its San Francisco prototype
until it makes determination to exclude

THE NEW CABLE.
After a Slight Hitch it works all
Right.

The Boyle Heights cable was not run
ming yesterday, owing to some slight
trouble with the rope. Superintendent
Robinson, in order to keep his promise
to the Boyle Heights people, was COM
PEELED to push matters to have the road
running Saturday. The cable ran all
right during the opening day, but it was
found necessary to shut down and make
some slight changes yesterday. The
machinery was started up again last
evening and everything ran to perfection.
This morning cars will be started
out and run on schedule time.

How Minister Ried Looks.

Writelaw Ried's appearance Is essen-
 tially that of a man of reflection and
 studiousness. His eys are peculiarly ex-
 pressive and thoughtful. His face is en-
 tirely out of the regular run, bearing a
 distinct Individuality in it's formation and
 lines. His forehead is very high, and his
 the mock and ears than is conventional at
 these times. His dark gray mustache
 droops with poetic effect over sensitive
 mouth, and on the rather square chin Is
 a small spot of whisker such as Henry
 Watterson wears, and Hancock and
 Mcclellan wore.
 In figure MT. Reed Is tall and perhaps slender for his age, but not thin. He would evidently have been a man of evi- dently have been a man of powerful physique if his literary life had not tended to weaken such a development. He dresses neatly and appropriately, but with: no noticeable consideration for style. His hat Is what is known as a derby, his overcoat a rough blue surtout, and his house clothes arc usually plain blue broadcloth, with the frock coat cut low, and waistcoat cut likewise, so that good length of shirt front is visible. MT. Reid talks in a soft voice, and with an air that Is decidedly charming. He Is not especially fluent in conversation, but can say all he desires in words; well 1 chosen and expressive. Like most grace full writers his talk scarcely illustrates the | fine power of expression that his minds is capable of. But his gedtle attitude to | wards a listener Is exceptionally winning. 1 -Pittsburg Post.

stephen A. Dourla., Son.

It is'not generally known that son of Stephen A. Douglas, of Illinois, was born in North Carolina, but such was the case. When the keen Yer monter had won over the Illinois Democ- racy to :send him to congress in 1S4S. he was but 20 years of age. There the "Little Giant" met Representative David S. Reid, of North Carolina. Reid was born April 19, 1913, and Douglas April 23, 1913. They were tho infants of the Twenty-eighth congress and warm frienship sprang up between them.
 As result of their acquaintance Doug las married a kinswoman of Reid, Miss Martha Martin. the daughter of wealthy North Carolina planter. The son TO- ferred to-Robert M. Douglas-was born within thirty miles of where he now lives, at Greensboro. In physical ap- pearance he bears considerable resem- blance to his noted father, though rather slighter. He has also inherited his share of brains. At the age of nineteen he was private secretary to the governor of North Carolina and during the first four years of President Grants administration was his civilian secretary. In 1872 he was ap- pointed marshal of North Carolina, which position he held for several years. He is now practicising law.
