GENIUS IN JAIL.
How "a Prisoner Manufactured an
ODfun Outfit.

HOW a Prisoner UAmuIaCLuEe0 &AAA
Opium outfit.
A very thorough search Of the County
Jail was made yesterday by Deputy
Jailer Hunter and Deputy Sheriff Wray,
and variety of interesting things were
brought to light. 1t had always been
customary for the deputies to go through
the cells one after another while the
prisoners were inside, and leave the dis
agreeable features of the search to
TRUSTEES.
Yesterday the programme was varied
by turning all the prisoners out into the
main corridors, searching them individu-
ally, and then going through the
cells, which had been kept locked dur
ing the search. In this way number
OF knives were discovered and other con-
traband articles.
The most remarkable find was home
made apparatus for smoking opium manu-
factured for Frank Cochran, one of the
Kirby gang, by man now serving time
in the Jail. An opium pipe, as every one
knows, is very different in construction
from tobacco pipe, and is difficult to
make.
For bowl this genius, inspired like
most other inventors, by necessity used
small medicine bottle-about four
ounce size-which he wrapped up first in
piece Of blanket and then in some cot
ton cloth sewed neatly into place.
Through the side of the bottle he bored
fine hole about large enough to ad-
mit a pin, with the point of his
knife. The stem was made of a
piece of broomstick whitfield down at one
end to fit into the mouth of the bottle,
and at the other for mouthpiece. The
aperture through the stem he had bored
with piece of wire, heating it in the
fame.
The greatest problem which presented
itself was probably that of the means of
heating the opium. This is usually
done with a small lamp. The prisoners
have no lights in their cells, and a gas
fame would not suffice in any event.
This disciple of Edison got over the
difficulty by making an old-fashioned
tallow lamp. He took small tin pill
box and cut it down to the required
height. Every day he SKINNED the grease
from his soup or his meat, and strained
it through rag into the box. A narrow
strip of tin was bent into the proper
shape and fitted into the grease. A small
hole was drilled through the middle OF
the arch of tin and small wick of
threads put through into the grease.
When lighted it burned with a steady
diminutive fame, which sufficed for his
purpose, but would not be noticed by his
keepers.

There was very good travel to Santa
Monica yesterday over both the South
ern Pacific and the new line.
Freight Agent Richard Gray, of the
Southern Pacific, has been offered, and
has refused, an offer on the Missouri
Pacific.
Messrs. 9. P. Huntington and A. N.

EzGeorge Ady, General Passenger and
Ticket Agent of the Panhandle road, is
at the Metropolitan, says the Salt Lake
Tribune, en- route to Denver from the
Coast. He says Los Angeles is steadily
growing business center, although the
boom has died away, and that Southern
California is good country. He should
not be surprised to hear ere long OF a
determined movement toward creating a
new commonwealth out of the south half
of the Golden State. The boom jumped
clear over Northern California, which is
quiet enough now, and landed at Port
land to begin its march northward. Mr..
Ady leaves this morning for Colorado.

The Salt Lake Road.

The residents of Salt Lake are working
very hard on the financial part of the
railroad which is to connect them with
this city, and subscriptions amounting to
$4,000 have already been obtained.
Colonel Hollister has been submitting
some very valuable statistics on the sub
ject, in which he estimates the total cost
per mile at 1888, and then shows that
with an ordinary business the road would
do more than pay for its operating ex-
penses the FIRST year, and would after
wards yield handsome dividends.
At this end the projectors OF the line
are still quietly working on the settle
ment of right of way and bridge matters.

A Serious Charge.

Day before yesterday, VIM. Squire,
Constable of Downey Township, received
a telegram from 7. F. Corregan, a
Constable of Merced, asking him to
arrest Ben Ferguson and take his photo
graph. Several weeks ago little girl
living in the city of Merced was outraged
by tramp. The authorities have been
searching for the man ever since. on the
description given, but were unable to
locate him. From various facts which
were developed within the last few
days it was believed that Ferguson was
the man. The description given of him
tailed with that offered by the child.
Ferguson was arrested Saturday after
noon at Downey, and was brought to the
county Jail yesterday. He declared his
innocence of the crime, and said that the
only way he could account for his arrest
was that he must bear some resemblance
to the man who was guilty. His photo
graph will be sent north, and if the girl
recognizes him he will be taken to Mer-
ced for trial.

STOOD UP.
How Henry II. Adams was StOpPed
ON the Downey Road.

How Henry B. Adams was stopped
ON the Downey Road.
Henry B. Adams, the gunsmith, had
quite an exciting experience yesterday
afternoon on the Downey road. He was
out driving with his two young SONS, and,
according to his tale, was proceeding
peacefully toward the city and had
reached point about six miles out when
he WAS startled by seeing man in the
middle of the road pointing a pistol at
him. "Hold up" said the man. Mr..
Adams held up, and the boys set up a
scream. The man in the road put up
his revolver and blew police whistle.
At this time two men in surrey ap-
peared, and stopping their horse looked
on seemingly enjoying the pro-
ceedings. The man in the road
then turned, and Mr.. Adams
drove into the city where he related his
adventure to Chief Cooney. The Chief
with an officer went in search of the
three men, and with the aid of reporter
succeeded III surrounding them and
brought them to the police station. The
man who had the pistol gave his name
as M, A. Scott, and said that he was out
hunting and had merely spoken to
Adams. He denied having pointed the
pistol at Adams, but the little boys who
had picked the three men out of crowd
said that he had aimed it at their father.
Scott was charged with an assault with a
deadly weapon, and the other two, Dan
Liebert and Henry Kianse were released.

The ostrich farm at Kenilworth is to
be removed to Santa Monica, and To-
cation has been obtained for the birds
one mile south of the Arcadia. Mr.. Beau
champ, the proprietor of the birds says
that he thinks they will do much better

menths are rather severe. He has OBJ
tanned seven acres of land at his new stand
and is having a section of it closely
boarded in with fence feet high. In
addition to this, he has also rented a
tract of land near La Ballona, on which
he will raise alfalfa, the principal feed of
the ostriches. Altogether he has thirty
six full-grown birds and also valuable
geological collection, which will be
greatly enlarged after opening up at the
oceans side, for he intends to make his
new quarters popular pleasure resort.
The change will be made about the 10th

GA Poor ReIalhOn.y'

Sol Smith Russell is almost certain to
be greeted with one of the largest au-
diences of the season next Thursday
evening at the Grand. The Troy, N. Y,
Press says: edward E. Kidder never
wrote prettier play than A Poor Rela-
tion, in which Sol Smith Russell appeared
in Rand's Opera House last night. Rus
sell is nothing if he is not original, and
his conception of the character of Noah
Vale, genius in state of chronic seed
mess. is so completely his own as to
make the part deliciously breezy and re-
freshing."
The sale of seats for Sol Smith Rus
SELLS engagement, which begins at the
Grand Thursday evening, opens to-mor-
row morning at 8 o'clock. The funny
comedian and his funny play are sure to
draw large audiences.

FLORES ARRESTED.
A Charge of burglary Preferred
Against Him.

The complaining witness in the Sabin
contempt case, Bortolo Flores was ar
rested yesterday in this city on charge
of burglary. The crime is said to have
been committed some time ago. Flores
is the man who charged Sabin with an
attempt to bribe him, he being then a
witness in the Goujon smuggling case.
While Flores was on the witness stand
testifying against, Sabin, an effort was
made by the defense to bring out
the fact that he had committed
a burglary, and had robbed Goujon him
self of revolver. Flores at the time as
serted bis innocence of the charge. II
is not improbable that his arrest is q
species of retaliation for his testimony
against Sabin. Whether justi6able or not
subsequent investigation in the courts
will show.

Que Of the most important bills introduced
this winter, the Australian election bill, turns
up missing. A good deal of interest was man
lfested in it on all sides, and tho fact that 1t
passed both houses by almost unanimous
vote shows the desires Of the members OF the
legislature. Its mysterious disappearance was
the surprise Of everybody, including tue gov
ernor. The governor said he remained In his
office Friday night half hour later than he
intended to for the purpose Of signing that bill.
1t was understood to bs In the hands Of tho
engrossing and enrolling force, In charge OF
Patten, Of Miner, tho chairman Of that coln-
mittee. The governor sent word to Speaker
Kteth and to President Stimmel inquiring
about the bill Both gentlemen made diligent
search for it in vain. Mr.. Patten was overtaken
just as he was rushing down stairs to depart
on the midnight train. He disclaimed having q
knowledge Of tho whereabouts Of the bill, and
no satisfactory Information could be secured
from him or his clerks. The indications are
that some ono has pocketed 1t. Mr.. Patten is
the man who should be held responsible for
its loss II he Is the man that he seems to he,
he will not let the matter drop till he has
solved the mystery. As the matter stands now
he is under cloud, and will be and should be
held responsible for its loss.-Fargs Repub.

CAPTAIN Murrell is being lionlzed in
Philadelphia, and so he should be, as
he has proved himself one of the great
est heroes OF the present day. As his
vessel, the Missouri, came up the
Delaware bay and river, this noble
captain and his equally noble crew
had forecast of the reception which
awaited them. Yesterday the captain
was the guest OF the city and was
welcomed by the Mayor, banqueted
by the Sons Of St. George, received by
thousands at the Maritime Exchange,
and presented with purse of 1850
for himself and crew. III addition TO
oil this, the Humane Society has con.
fcrred handsome medal upon him,
the Legislature Of Pennsylvania has
passed resolutions thanking him, and
the King of Denmark has signiled his
intention OF decorating him, for his
bravery and heroism. These honora
are all well earned and well deserved.
but Captain Murrell, the same as all
brave men, is modest and retiring
and we venture the assertion that tie
