IT SEEMS hardly probable that the six
hundred souls who abandoned the
steamer Denmark in mid-Atlantic are
lost. News of their fate is awaited with
intense interest at New York. The fair
surmise would seem to be that they
would not have abandoned their ship
unless they bad been taken off by
a vessel in better condition than
the one they left. 1t is probable the
rescuing vessel was sailer, and that
would account for the delay in hearing
from the missing people. When tbs
Denmark was discovered as a derelict
she was afloat right side up.

THE iron and other materials of the
Eagle Rock Valley road, which has been
running for short time, we're yesterday
taken up and transferred to Garvanza
and Glendale. The people along the line
of the Eagle Rock Valley road were very
indignant when they saw their narrow
gauge carted eff before their eyes.
OF course they knew there was
some sharp practice in the matter, but
believing that nothing could be done to
stop it, because it was Sunday, they took
no steps to enioin the dismantlers. In
this State iDjunctions and writs of pro-
hibition may be issued and served on
legal holidays and non-judicial days, as
will be seen by reference to Section 5.
Article 6, of the Constitution.

A Petition TO the supervisors.

EDITORS HERALD: Los Angeles is To-
Gated only about fifteen miles from the
Pacific Ocean. A drive to Santa Monica -
would be delightful event, if only there
were roads, good roads, to drive on.
At present there is only one
county road leading from Los Angeles
to Santa Monica-Washingto street.
Sunset Boulevard, and Pico street lead
only part of the way, then they termin-
ate. From Washington street south to
Inglewood, a distance OF eight miles,
there is q vast expanse of beautiful
country, but no road. Years ago, when
Los Angeles was a small country town,
there were more roads; then road ran
through E. J. Baldwin's Cienege
Ranch to the ocean at Santa Monica.
That road was closed up by selfish land
owners. Los Angeles is RAPIDLY growing
into large and beautiful city. We need
parks and good drives. We need good
county roads, lined with the beau
tiful evergreen shade-trees peculiar
to our glorious semi-tropic cli-
mate. OF all streets, Jefferson
street should be extended to the
west to the ocean. At present that large
population that has created, and is living
in, the beautiful suburbs of Vernon,
University and La Dow, has no direct
road to the ocean. The inhabitants of
those places have to drive miles
out OF their way if they wish
to drive to Santa Monica. They
have just petitioned the Supervisors
| to extend Jefferson street in a westerly
direction, 80 that it will intersect Wash
ington street if extended farther west
yet, and will reach the Soldiere' Home
in bee line. The first extension will
enable the residents of the above named
districts to drive to the ocean
without mounting up To the mess.
It will traverse the beautiful moist lands
of the famous Rancho Los Cienegas and
will make road easy and inexpensive
of construction and far less dusty than
Washington street. Our present Board
of Supervisors ia composed of intelligent,
progressive men who will, no doubt, see
the crying need ofroads between our beau
tiful growing city and Santa Monica. Dur
ing the last five years Los Angeles has
increased, as to population, five fold, and
| Santa Monica has grown in the
same ratio; the traffic by rail and
road has augmented twenty-fold,
yet the number of roads has ac-
tually decreased until, in our beautiful
Los Angeles Valley, ten miles in width,
there is but one outlet by carriage road
to the Pacific. The charms of the valley
are hidden from both residents and tour
lists. The hills on the south side are un-
known; the thousands of springs in the
rich bottom of the cienega are not even
dreamt of by the new population of Los
Angeles; the wonderful wilderness of
our cienega-flora, and the thickets of
cottonwood and willow trees once known
only to coyotes and squirrels. We can
have beautiful parks, and lakes
and drives in abundance. We
must have more outlets, moro direct
communication with the Pacific ocean.
We need more county roads leading to
the west. We ask the Supervisors to
give us more roads.

JOE TooLE, the young and handsome
Democratic ex-delegate from Montana
Territory, has been in San Francisco
lately and has been interviewed concern
ing matters and Thugs in that Territory
which is 30 soon to become a State. He
speaks glowingly of the mineral and agri-
cultural wealth which has been devel-
oped there, and says that everybody who
stuck to the territory, and did not lose
his grip, has got rich. Of Russell Harri-
son, whose Crosby libel suit has largely
advertised him, he tells some things that
differ from the narratives which have
been fashionable in tie Eastern press
since Papa Harrison has become Presi-
dent. According to Toole, Russell Harri-
son was the keeper of a small stationery
store in Helena, and the editor of week
ly stock journal which, since his father be-
came President, has been converted into
a daily. There is something suggestive
of the ways of American life in the
great-grandson of one President and the
son of another getting into the usual
hnmdrum of making living, in the Or
dinary work-a-day world. Montana will,
in all probability, turn up as Democratic
s ate, with Toole, as like as not, one OF
hsr Senators, at no distant day and with
Rhode Island made Democratic by the
repeal of the property qualification for
votera, the Democratic party will show
mp more evenly balanced against its OPP
ponents in the electoral vote than was
supposed, leaving New York, in all prob
ability, in the old commanding position
Of determining the result.

His Trip About the City Yesterday

His Trip About the City Yesterday
Afternoon.
About 12:3 O'Clock yesterday horse
attached to sulky broke loose from his
fastening in front of st. Vincent's
Church, at the corner of Grand avenue
and Washington street. Before anyone
could stop him he dashed along Wash
ington street into Main, on which he ran
until he reached First street. He ran at
full speed along First street to Spring,
when he turned again and ran to First,
where he started to climb the hill at an
unchecked speed. John Collins, who
saw him going full tilt toward carriage
containing some ladies and children,
jumped in front of him and was knocked
down and injured about the hips and
head. He was afterwards conveyed to
the police station, where his wounds
we're dressed. His efforts did not etop
the horse, which turned into New High
street and ran down to Franklin street,
from which he turned into Spring street,
and was finally stopped in front of
saloon on Main street above Temple by a
telegraph pole. The sulky was entirely
demolished, but the horse WAS unin-
iured.

An important event will occur at Clear
water next Thursday evening. it being
the public dedication of the new and ele-
CANT school building in that district, one
of the largest and most complete school
edifices in the county. The trustees,

vited to enjoy it. In connection with
the several singers and performers from
Compton and Clearwater, the audience

A FEW weeks ago, San Francisco was
startled from her equilibrium by the an
nouncement of the arrest of Police
Sergeant named Gano and others for ac-
cepting bribes from Chinese gamblers to
let their games go on. The &C.
counts were very circumstantial and
warranted the belief that the Police
Sergeant would be convicted. The trial
has taken place, the facts have been very
satisfactorily testified to, and the guilt Of
the accused made as plain as guilt is
ever proven in bribery cases. The jury,
however, hung, and the chances of con-
viction are reduced to the minimum. Curl
ously enough it was not the usual eleven
stubborn jurors for conviction against
one for acquittal. 1t stood nine to three.
A three-fourths verdict of condemnation
is enough to satisfy the public of the
guilt OF this precious guardian of the
peace, although insufficient to send him
to San Quentin.

man, and is about so years OF age. He
is regarded by the white residents of
Samoa as far superior to his predecessor.
The Associated Press correspondent
called on Mataafa on the day after after
the arrival Of Admiral Kimberly. The
King said it was the happiest day Of the
year for all Samoans.
MALIEToA's POSSIBLE RESTORATION.
Mataafa was asked to express his
views in regard to the possibility of
return to Samoa of ex'King Malietoa,
who is now held as a prisoner on the
Marshall Islands by the Germans.
Mataafa was asked il he would be satis-
Samoa.
81 would be most happy to gee him
back in Samoa" replied the King.
"In case of Malietoa's return, would
he be entitled to resume his former
place as King of Samoan"
Ppm not able to answer that" re-
Piled Mataafa. 'I am a member of
Malietoa's family, and, at the time he
was deposed by the Germans, was his
principal chief. Just before he sur
rendered to the German commander he
handed over his Office to me, and left
the administration of affairs in my
hands. He appointed me his successor
in every respect, and my people after
wards confirmed the appointment by
electing me king, and | now hold my
office, not only by virtue of Malietoa's
appointment, but also by votes Of the
majority of the Samoan people. In view
of the fact that Malietoa resigned his
Office in my favor, he will not neeessar--
lily become king again in case he re-
turned to his native land. Malietoa and
myself would have to determine between
ourselves who should be king, and, if
he should return here, we would at once
hold conference for that purpose.
feel sure there would be no serious con-
| troversy between us.

The LOS Angeles Aheatef'
Madame Janauschek and a full con1-
pany held the boards at the Los Angeles
Theater last night. AS matter of fact
the audience was not over numerous, ncr
was the enthusiasm such as would have
greeted Charlotte Cushman's rendition
of this famous role ("Meg Merrilees")
1t is matter of question as
to whether Madame Janauschek is
at her best in this splendid crea.
ton of Scott's. The obligations imposed
upon woman speaking German as her
native tongue, when transplanted to the
Scotch heather, are perhaps too great
to admit of fine, not to say super
fine, histrionic results. In Mary Stuart
the star will have finer field for the dis
play of her genius; and we may add that
we hope it will afford better field for
the capabilities OF the company. Mary

the Americans were to be seen every

many articles were saved in that way.

o'clock the thermometer registered "a, and at
o'clock it had fallen to Al, and still lower
ing. At noon the lowest barometer ever
known in Pittsburg since the weather
bureau was opened was observed. 1t had
fallen to the remarkable figures of 290S,
thus indicating the terrific wind that soon
followed and shook the building so that the
clock was unbalanced and stopped at 1880
DR.. W. j. Holland, one of the best
meteorologists IN the city, and who has
made special study of wind storms of the
kind that visited Pittsburg yesterday,
while riding in an Oakland car yesterday
morning, predicted high wind storm to be
followed by blizzard within the next 36
hours. In speaking of the storm DIR. Hol-
land said:
The wind storm which wrought such havoc
in this neighborhood, was due to the fact that
for number of days past the temperature In
Ohio and Western Pennsylvania, and south
ward, has been abnormauy high for this season
of the year. The result of such a condition is
inevitably the creation of a vacuum and the
downward flow from the region of polar cold.
A body of cold air with the effect of producing
in many cases more or less ro-
tary motion in the air masses The
its way to the south of warm air masses. The
equilibrium has been destroyed to certain
extent, and the fact that sudden storms, such
as visited the city to-day, as likely to occur was
susceptible to prediction on the part of meteor
ologists of this city. do not say it in an ego
tistical spirit that I predicted the storm when
leaving the house this morning, but it is an
other case where science has come out on top,

ON THE SOUTHSIDE.
The Market House Roof Torn Of, and Four
Iron Stacks Blown Down-Other
Accidents and Incidents on That
Side of the Monongahela


On the Southside the high wind left its
mark as we'll as in other parts of the city.
1t was currently reported that number of
buildings in exposed places along the hill
had been wrecked, but this was not true.
The roof of the front part of the Twelfth
street Market House was torn off, and
thrown to the ground. The telephone
station on the Southside is in the third story
of the building, and the great mass of wires
centering on the roof were scattered and
pulled down. All the telephones on that
side of the city are cut of, and will be for
few days. Superintendent Metzgar re-
moved the Office to the First National Bank
building near by. A number of electric
wires also on the roof were broken of,
and were hanging down on the street to the
great danger of people passing below.
Sparks of electricity were coming from all
parts of the wires. The wiremen worked
hard all afternoon repairing them, and
watching out to prevent accidents.
At the Republican Iron Works, Twenty
fifth street, stacks over the boilers were
broken off at their bases by the force of the
wind like frail reeds.
Israel Clark, young Englishman, %
years old, fresh from Wolverhampton, re-
ceived a probably fatal blow on the head
from crane handle in the same mill yes
terday morning. He was helping to raise
roll when one OF the crane handles slipped,
and struck him in the face, making an ugly
cash and featuring his skull. He was taken
to the Mercy Hospital.

L. n

aster Came Out In Number Of Funny
Incidents-Pain and Fun.
There is invariably some ludicrous side
to even the greatest misfortune and the
most dire calamity. Yesterdays appalling
catastrophe was no exception.
The slowly drizzling rain, accompanied
by the usual calm, which proverbially al
ways precedes storm, had not driven the peo-
pie off the streets, and when the cyclone came
(down on the city, it was the most perfect sur
prise imaginable.
Umbrellas which but moment ago were list
lessly and complacently carried in careless
hand, were brought down upon the heads OF
their bearers making sound like the notes
from bass viol. The finest, hitherto un-
blemished silk hats, the broad -brimmed felts.
the small derby of the dude, and even the h1gh
"Opera" bonnets of some of the representatives
of the fairer sex had to 90. The cyclone knew
no pity, and as the kissing sounds of the de-
parting gusts whiZzed around the corners 1t
Sounded like the mocking laugh of practical
joker. For such the cyclone seemed to be IN
many cases.
When the wind was at its highest and the
storm in its greatest fury, q young man was
seen crossing Ninth street in the front OF the
Westinghouse building. AS the rain began to
come down in torrents, the young fellow,
dressed in the height of fashion, tried to seek
shelter under the wooden scatfold, but at the
moment when he seemed to be under safe
cover, the cyclone tore board from the scat
folding, and it knocked the young man into the
gutter. He emerged unharmed, but his aspect
was a sorry sight.
Ben Graham, a painter of Penn avenue
asked nearly everybody who passed his store
whether they had seen his sign or no.
THAT blessed cyclone has knocked my sign
off the wall, and have been running all
the city to find it. but it seems to me that the
cyclone wants tu start paint shop, and has
taken my sign along to save the expense OF
buying one" he laughlngly added.
