Lumber Vessel Burned.

SEATTLE, w. T., May 26.-The bark
Emerald was burned at Port Gamble at
an early hour this morning. The bark
was lying at the wharf and was about
half laden with $4,000 feet of lumber.
The port was aroused at the alarm of fire
and strenuous efforts were made to save
the burning vessel. An endeavor was
made to scuttle her, but the spreading
flames so greatly endangered the adja-
cent shipping and wharves and the mills
OF the Puget Mill Company, that the SER
vices of the launch Hyock were brought
into requisition to tow the bark across
the bay. These attempts to stop the
fire were continued, but they were
unsuccessful, and as far as can be
learned the Emerald was total loss. 1t
is thought, however, that part of the
cargo of lumber can be saved. The loss
is estimated here at $35 200. of which
IS, 900 was on the cargo. The Emerald
was the property of the Puget Mill Com
pany, and was brought to Seattle about
eighteen years ago for the service of the
company. She has been employed con-
stantly since in the transportation of
lumber to San Francisco and South
American and Australian and other trans.
Pacific ports. Though old, she was vet
staunch, and was fit for use for years,
1t is not known if there is any insurance.

GREAT blessings are certain to inure to
Los Angeles county from the abundance
of her oil measures, and some of them
we are experiencing now. AS cheap
fuel petroleum has already been largely
utilized here, but we are destined to see
great advances in the line of both illumi.
mating and heating petroleum, as we'll as
an energetic exploitation of our oil terri
tory. The Allen system of generating
gas for Illuminating and heating purposes
from crude petroleum, is described at some
length in other columns. The process
may be briefly characterized as one by
which the gas is boiled out OF the natural
oil by superheated steam, and it is
claimed that this is done at one-half the
expense of other systems. In addition,
Prof. Schrader, who has analyzed the
gas, says that it is twice as strong as the
ordinary staple. These are great claims,
and, if sustained, will make the patent
which has been applied for an exceed
ingly valuable one.

TIE assassination of DR.. Cronin shows
that there are extra-judicial tribunals
outside of Russia and the Chinese Six
Companies in California. There is an
inherent respect for law amongst Ameri-
cans which is indescribably shocked by
occurrences of this kind, and yet the
Morgan disappearance in New York in
early days ought to admonish Americans
that they are not entitled to strike the
high key-notes that persons who have
nothing equivocal to recall OF their own
would feel like assuming. There seems
to be an unwritten law amongst all man
hind that when men have become MEM
hers of a secret organization, whether it
he political or quasi-political, or simply
baneficial, as the Masonic order is under
stood to be, and betray the secrets or the
interests of the organization with which
thew have affiliated, they are liable to
anecial and revengeful treatment. The
caae of Crcnin is complicated by the
oontrovarey as to whether he was
done away with because he
knew that there had been gross
corruption in the management of the
pecuniary affairs Of the Clan Ma Gael, or
had himself corruptly appropriated the
funds of that society. There is, under
the circumstances of the case, great diff
cuIty in getting at the real facts. 1t is
o,an IN doubt as to whether the Doctors
associates had anything to do with his
murder, but the presumptions with most
naonle are that they had. In California
wa have for years been cognizant OF the
ar;stence of Chinese tribunals which
have condemned and executed members
of the Six Companies, with superb IN
di ference to the ordinary courts, and the
whole resources of the National and
State authorities have been poweriess 70

The Republican statesmen from Cali
fornia are said to be experiencing great
deal of trouble from the determined
efforts which are being made by General
Vandever to get hold OF good share of
the Federal patronage at San Francisco.
1t was generally conceded that the Con-
gresham from the Sixth District should
be allowed to regulate the distribution of
the loaves and fishes in Southern Cali
fornia, but this was by no means satis-
factory to him. Backed by his big ma
jority in the Sixth District, and with the
claim that Southern California saved the
State to Harrison, the veteran is moving
on San Francisco, and seems to be max
ing some headway, to the infinite disgust
of Congressman Morrow and others who
think that they ought to control every
thing there. The struggle is an interest
ing one, especially 10 expectant office
holders.

KANSAS Cry, May 26.-A Times
special from Guthrie, Oklahoma, says;
E. A. Weed, claimant to a lot which
was also claimed by man named Hayes,
engaged force of men and began this
morning to erect building. The ag-
grieved man was reinforced by a large
party of his friends and idlers, until they
numbered 500. After the contestants
had engaged in a wordy quarrel, at
preconcerted signal by some one, the
frame building was picked up by the
crowd and carried into the street. While
the disturbance was at its height, the
U. S. Marshal arrived and commanded
the crowd to disperse. He was opposed
| by some of the leaders. He at once
secretly sent messenger for troops, and
in order to hold the people in check till
the soldiers arrived, sent deputy Mar
ehal into the centre of the crowd. During
the next few minutes one or two fights
occurred. There was much excitement
at this time, but as soon as the bluecoats
appeared, in double-quick time, the tur-
bulent element quieted down, and five
minutes later the carpenters were again
at work, with the military around thom.

A GREAT deal of interesting matter will
come up before the Council at its session
to-day. One of the things to engage its
attention is the preliminary work on the
East Los Angeles sewers. City Engineer
Eaton will present report on this mat
ter. Instant work can be inaugurated
there, as declaration of intention is all
that is needed. As heretofore noted in
the HERALD, the Board of Supervisors
are desirous of making the sewerage sys
tenn of the County Hospital conform to
that OF the East Side. There ought to
be no difficulty in this. The question of
declaring the Electric street railway a
nuisance will also come up for considera-
tion at the meeting to-day. 1t might
perhaps be we'll to go a little slow on
this proposi ton, as number of Eastern
capitalists have expressed desire to as
sumo the franchise and apply to it the
Thompson Houston system, which has
proved very successful on a number of
Eastern roads. The agent of these capi-
talists is on hand, and he will speak his
little piece to-day. 1t will of course be
proper to exact guarantees before sub
jecting the people to further inadequate
transportation service and untold annoy
ance. These matters, with good deal
of routine work, ought to afford our mu-
nicipal Solons ample food for thought.

THE watering place season for Lol
Angeles county opens late this year. The
Hotel Arcadia at Santa Monica will re-
open on the 18th of June, while the new
hotel at Redondo Beach will open its
doors about October 1st. A little more
provision for gaiety at these resorts
would increase their business. All the
conditions point to great improvement
at Santa Monica, while Redondo Beach
will be started right. 1t will not be long
before it will be understood that the Los
Angeles watering places are even more
attractive in winter than in summer,
although the balance between the two
seasons hangs by hair.

that F. w. Blackwell, of Forest, was yes

MONDAY. MAY 27, 1889.
Diocese of Southern California.

The very decisive vote by which the
Episcopal Convention sitting in San
Francisco determined in favor of erecting
3 new diocese in Southern California,
will doubtless result in the division
aimed at, and give this part of the State
= Bishop and separate ecclesiastical
jurisdiction. The debate on the question
of division developed st times great
deal of bitterness, and some of the grave
and reverend speakers INDUCED in sallies
of wit and sarcasm that would have been
more suited to secular gatherings than to
q body of ecclesiastics and sanctifed lay
men. The report of the majority of the
committee set forth. among other things,
the ways and means by which separate
Bishopric would be supported, specifying
income from certain realty in this Sec
ton. This gave some of the smart
reverends of the northern part of the
State a chance to sneer at Southern Cali
fornia, and to ridicule the idea that any
property estimate in this section could be
relied upon. One of the witty eclesiastics
Beers by name-frothed over in wit
ticisms about the claimed value of the
property for the support of the new Bish-
opric. This sacerdotal end-man brought
down the northern part of the house
when he pointed out an omission-that
the committee had failed to include in
their estimate the money value of our
"climate." We say the northern part Of
the house, yet we must admit that some
delegates from that section-especially
those who had lived here-paid just and
appreciative tributes to our section, and
voted for division. We had hoped that
the vulgar and baseless prejudice which
seems to infect so large percentage OF
the people of the northern counties
against this section had not reached the
clergy. But the debate in this ecclesias-
tical convention; could not have been
surpassed in language OF coarse jeal-
ousy and sectional prejudice, on the
part of some northern churchmen, if it
had been q political convention called
for the purpose of discussing the actual
division of the State. But, thanks
to the good sense of a majority
of the Convention, and to the difficulties
that confront the Episcopal Church
under the circumstances of Bishop Kip's
infirmities, we shall have a separate
diocese. The division of the State into
two dioceses is significant CT the trend OF
public opinion on the subject OF political
division. The more expressions OF
hatred and contempt for our section are
publicly ventilated by the people OF the
North, the wider becomes the breach be-
tween the two sections. 1t is fortun ate
that we can live and flourish without
either the friendship or the sympathy OF
the people who so cordially hate US for
some unknown reason, and when the
time comes for political separation the
general public of this section will doubt
less be as we'll prepared for it as the
Episcopal Church now is to set up new
diocese in Southern California.

SUICIDE is rapidly becoming specially
in the United States, the almost
monopoly hitherto enjoyed in that line
by France and Germany having been
seriously curtailed. In fact, suicide and
murder seem to have struck up part
nership, and men who have made up
their minds to put period to their ex-
istence generally provide against loneli-
ness in crossing that undiscov-
cred bourne from which no trav-
eler returns, by numbering some
body else :las preliminary. So
nearly uniform has this rule become Of
late that it is specially gratifying to come
upon case like that which was reported
from Santa Monica on Saturday; where
a gentl eman, who desired surcease from
the cares of this work-a-day world, de-
liberately took off his coat, laid it on the
sands and started'out to wade to the land
of far-off Cathay. There is something
refined and prepossessing in this way Of
shutting off this mortal coil. AS Man
tilini wouldss.. probably have said, this
gentleman did not make "demnition"
bloody nuisance of himself, by blowing
out his brains or cutting his throat, to
the great horror Of well-ccnditioned
people. He committed one oversight,
however, which may perhaps be excused
by his perturbation of mind. II he had
taken the .precaution to have procured a
bathing suit before he made the plunge,
he would not only have accomplished
felo de Sc in remarkably decorous and
gentlemanly style, but he would have
left it forever uncertain whether he had
committed suicide at all, which would
have been some consolation to his
relatives.

CINCINNATI, May 26.-With fewer than
dozen exceptions, the saloons were, to
all outward appearances, closed to-day,
the front doors being shut and locked,
and the blinds down. There was little

perhaps one-third of them by the back
entrance. About two-thirds of the
saloons that kept open on Sunday are
believed to have been closed. There
we're five arrests by the police of the
most defiant violators. In one case
the proprietor refused three times before
he closed. The law and order league

Dempsey, moreover, lays the blame of
the "hounding' he got from certain out
siders on the association. That is palpa-
BILE injustice. The club, as represented
by its eminently gentlemanly and cour-
teous President, did nothing but what
was right and fair and business.like
towards Dempsey. Nor has he any buBi-
ness to say that the directors created
him shabbily," or "intimated that he
was afraid to meet Ellingsworth." They
did not, to the writer's positive knowl-
edge, do any such thing, and Dempsey
knows that they did not.

Joe McAuliffe has doomed his stock
(Which has been on the down grade for
some time), at least fifty per cent, by the
neat and workmanlike way in which he
disposed of Lees, in their recent mill.
But, after all, neither in height, weight
or reach, was he match for the Mission
Pet. The first good man of his weight,
inches and skill, that meets McAuliffe
will down him, sure, if he be a quick
fighter. Joe is, and always was, too slow
in his movements to have any show with
lghtning-striker.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1889-05-27

Another misrepresentation which, if
Dempsey made it, was undoubtedly in
territorial and malicious, namely, that
"when it came to putting up they were
not there" He knew that the SO 900
we're up in the Farmers and Merchants
Bank at the time, and his "fashing" his
81, 900 check (Which, by the way, he tore
in two in his agitation), did not bluff the

The following description of Lucie
would seem to indicate that the Marine
has not, by any means, the "pudden'
many believe him to have in meeting
him.
"The expert inspection of Lucie
showed him to be a typical middle
weight pugilist, with cool, gray eye, an
iron jaw, taurine neck, extremely com.
pact body, and symmetrical legs. He
stands five feet one'eighth inch (sic) and
tipped the scale last night at 168 pounds.
He will enter the ring, in fighting rig, at
l56 pounds. In height and reach Lucie
has some advantage over the Marine.
He is also younger man."
Of course the intelligent compositor is
responsible for the "sawed-off" altitude
assigned to Mike. He is really feet 8
inches in height.
