A SAD CASE.
Shall the Innocent suffer Alike

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, August S.-Dorwin w.
Pratt, who was the st. Louis agent for
the Mccormick Harvesting Machine
Company, of Chicago, went to the State
penitentlary at Jefferson City last night
bookkeeper, embezzled, and on his state.
ment Pratt was indicted as an accom-
plice, tried and sentenced to three years
in the penitentisry. This was several
years ago and the Supreme Court has
just affirmed the decision which sends
Pratt to the penitentiary. 1t is believed
that he is innocent and will be pardoned
by Governor Francis. Pratt's family
here is highly respected, and the case is
very sad one.

Minneapolis Forger Arrested.

MINNEAPOLIS, August 8.-Tbe stu.

sensation in Minneapolis. Collom was

rant sworn out by F F. Davis, attorney
for Mr.. Blaisdell,
Los Angeles daily herald., 1889-08-09

Two great national leaders seem just
now to be suffering from an eclipse. One
of these, Boulanger, because he allowed
himself to be stampeded from his
country at time when pluck and deter
minstion of high order were required.
The other is Parnell. The great Irish
leader would appear to have been broken
down in health. His prolonged and ar
duous labors have proved too great for a
naturally delicate physique. 1t is to be
hoped that period Of recuperation will
restore him to his old time energy and
usefulness. Few men have had the phe-
nomenal physical and mental strength
of the three M ost conspicuous statesmen
of Europe of later days, Beaconsfeld,
Gladstone and Bismarck. Disraeli held
the helm to his seventy-fourth year,
while Gladstone still cuts down trees in
the park adjoining H Hawarden Castle, and
the great German statesman is as
strong and resolute as ever, though he,
like Gladstone, is struggling up towards
the eighties. The English breed Of
statesmen are specially long-lived.
Brcugham at his health resort of Cannes
still showed signs OF intellectual vigor
and political activity after he had
rounded the nineties. Even the British
poets are emulous of the long continued
vigor of their political rivals; and Tenny.
son, at eighty, has by no means relapsed
into his dotage. Hannibal Hsmlin and
the late Simon Cameron put in an ap-
pearance on the American roster to main
tain the title of tbis country to men con-
cerned in public affairs who surpsss the
standard set by the scriptures Of the age
OF man.

SAN DIEGO JOrTINGs.
A Chinese Junk Refused Entry TO
the Port of Ensenada.

SAN DIEGO, August 8.-A junk flying
the dragon flag put into Ensenada with a
cargo of abalone meat and shells, but as
the flag of China is not recognized on the
high seas by the Republic of Mexico, she
was refused entry by the port officials.
The vessel had sailed from San Francisco
with proper clearance papers, being the
first one sent down by the Chinese capi-
talists who recently bought half interest
in the Lower California Mining Com
pany.
LOCAL HAPPENINGS.
The San Diego Cable Car Company
opened bids today for the supply of 100,-
900 pounds of iron work for the road.
The contract was awarded to the Coro-

The report that two men were drowned
yesterday at Ocean Beach proves errone-
GUS. The men had a severe experience
after their boat capsized, but were finally
rescued.
VISITING KNIGHTS AND MILITIA.
The train which brought the Knights
Templar to San Diego, this afternoon,
consisted of ten coaches. There were
about 500 in the company, including the
ladies'.
Affairs at Camp Dimond are satisfac-
tory to both officers and men. Large
crowds continue to visit the camp every
day. The troops will parade the town
on Saturday as an escort to the visiting
Knights Templar, and on Sunday will
break camp.
MATTERS OF LITIGATION.
Three Superior Court Judges in banc
today decided that all contracts made by
the Coronado Beach Company, on the
sale of lands at Coronado Beach and at
South San Diego, are valid. Demurrers
to the answer in these cases are being
considered.

PEARL RIVER RAILROAD.

EDITOR BULLETIN Il have read
with great interest the numerous
communications that have appeared
lately in the papers relative to the
new Pearl River Railroad, and have
no doubt whatever, that, if economi-
cally constructed, and run on u busi-
ness basis under good management
it will be paying investment to
stockholders, and profitable to its
promoters. All the correspondence
j have read in reference to this mat
Ter has, chiefly and properly, too,
been in reference to the dollar side
of the question, and leave the mat
ter of cost, running expenses, ETC.,

tails their careful study, and who
are more familiar with the country

However, | think Mr.. Dillingham;
has altogether underestimated the
probable passenger traffic of his rail
road. Without wishing to put my
self down as prophet / have no
hesitation in saying that, 1 think,

years, be the "Brighton' of Homo
lula and the popular place of resort
for our city men and mechanics,

have, and am certain, many of your
readers have heard the common
complaint made, that when they got
holiday, they didn't know what
to do with themselves, as there was
no place to go where they could
spend day and leave business and
its cares behind them. Waikiki has
hitherto been Cracked up" as the
watering place of Honolulu, but l

years, when the trees have grown suf-
ficiently, some seats placed under
their shade for the accommodation
of any who might feel disposed to
rest themselves upon them. Be-
yond these comparatively trifing be-
nefits, which only very small mi
nority of the community would con-
slider worth the money expended to
secure them, we can think of moth
ing TO be gained by fencing. If the
plot were large enough to be service
able for public gatherings, il would
be different.
But there is one very important
public benefit promoted by the
square, so-called, being left open,
as at present. Facing it is the prin-
cipal, we might say the only, public
anus ement hall in town, the Opera
House, where all classes and creeds
of the community congregate when
occasion offers, for pleasure and re-
creation. On all such occasions
carriages are requisite and are usu'
ally employed in considerable num-
bers; and that open space affords
convenient accommodation for them,
from which they will be deharred
by fence. 1t will also deprive oul
volunteer military companies of q
convenience which the open space
affords them. Palace Square is tn,
only suitable parade and drill
ground they have in the city proper
and has frequently been used by
them for these purposes, in times
past. Now, the Legislature ant
Executive have considered our vO
lunteer military of sufficient import
ance to the country to make law
and vote q considerable sum o
money for its encouragement ant
maintenance, and yet the same Exc
cutive seems bent upon deprivin!
the "boys" of their parade ground
From whatever angle we view th
matter, we perceive no benefit
likely to proceed from the proiecte'
fencing, to compensate for the los
of those derived from the ope
space; and, therefore, consider it
mistake, and foolish use of publ
money.

Some people say Pearl River is a
very hot place, and l agree with them
that it is rather warm in the mid
die of the day if you are in the sun,
but if you had sat in the sun on the
plains before the trees grew up you
wouldn't have imagined you were at
the North pole. My experience OF

DON'T APPROVE FENCING PALACE
SQUARE.

1t appears to have been resolved
by the Government to fence in that
triangular plot of land at the juno
tion of King, Richard and Merchant
streets, denominated Palace Square;
for tenders to that end have been
invited, and one has been accepted.
Why this resolve has been made
we cannot tell, or even imagine.
There may be some good reason for
it, but we know of none. The land
to be enclosed is too small TO be of
any important public service as an
enclosure. 1t is not large enough
for band concert or any similar
gathering. A few trees might be
planted there that would afford
shade and ornament, a water foun-
tain erected, ard after several

OIL BELOW THE TEST.

The fire on Saturday night is sup
posed to have originated from the
explosion of kerosene lamp, in
support of which there is strong
presumptive evidence. Positive
proof is wanting, and probably ever
will be. Now, explosions of that
nature are the result of inferior oil,
of which there is said In hn consider
able in the market. It's fact that
several narrow escapes from fires
from similar cause, have occurred
recently at private residences in the
town, which provesthat oil of an in
ferior grade is in use. Is the Gov
ernment doing its duty in allowing
such dangerous material to be i'm
ported and sold? If our memory is
not at fault. the Government, u
couple or three years ago, compelled
a shipment of oil below the test es-
tablished by law or regulation hav-
ing the force of law, to be taken
back whence it came. Why is oil
below the test-if such there be
now allowed to remain? This matter
needs looking into.

EFFICIENCY AND DEFICIENCY.

The promptitudc which our volun-
tecr, unpaid fire companies display
ed in getting to the scene of Satur-
day nights fire, and the vigor they
exerted in performing their self
assumed duties waen there, merit
warm commendation. In an in
credibly short time after the sound
ing of the alarm, all the companies
were on the ground, with their en-
gines and pparatusesin position and
ready for action. The Chief of the
Department was also promptly on
hand, and superintended. The men
shirked neither work nor danger,
but attacked the fierce foe with
energy and fearlessness. The weak
part was in the water supply, which
sunnlu was wary N'',"ii OF the l,"e,;"
ming. When water was obtained in
sufficient force, short existence re-
mained for the flames, which by this
time had got full headway, illumin-
ating the whole town, and looking
as if nothing could prevent their
destroying the entire block. Several
powerful streams in q few minutes
conquered the raging blaze and ex-
tinguished the fire.
Saturday nights fire demonstrated
two things-the efficiency of the fire
brigade and its apparatus and the
deficiency of Immediately available
water for its requirements. This fire
had acquired considerable headway,
amounting 10 a blaze whose light
could be seen in almost any part OF
the town, at the first sound of the
alarm bell. BY the time water was
available it had spread to two or
three buildings adjoining the one in
which it started, and of the latter it
had taken complete hold. All these
buildings were of wood, and burnt
like matches. Yet, Notwithstanding
these facts, the fire had a briei
career after all the engines got full
supply of water, and the wooden
frame work of even the first build
ing was left standing. There may
have been some good reason, un-
known to us, why SO little water
was kept in the pipes. That there
was sutficiency at the fountain
head would appear from the fact of
its coming later on. The possibility
of fires occurring at any time and in
any part of the town is certainly n
powerful reason why the pipes should
be kept full of water at all times, if
practicable.

THE TIME TO SECURE SEATS.

1t Is quite natural that persons
should prefer certain parts of the
Opera House to others, and be de-
sirous Of securing at entertainments
the seats they prefer; but they
should be reasonable enough to be
willing to take their chances of get
ting what they wish on the opening
of the box plan, and not expect to
get the advantage of the general
public by having their choice re-
served beforehand. The time for
opening the box plan for any public
entertainment is always announced
ahead, and that is the time for secur-
ing seats. "First come, first served"
is the only just and fair method of
procedure in such matters. When
dozen different persons are want
ing the same seat, all cannot be ac-
commodated, but each should be
satisfied with his chance of being
first, and if he fails, cheerfully sub
NIT to the disappointment. If any
one Of the dozen is allowed to come
in and secure the seat before the
announced time of opening the box
plan, as is frequently attempted
each and all the others have just
ground OF dissatisfaction and com
plant. This would be manifestly
unfair, and no one should ask sucl
