James M. Shackleford, the first United
States Judge of the Indian territory, was
born nearly sixty-two years ago in Lincoln
county, KY. After obtaining his elementary
education at private schools he was sent to
Stanford seminary. He then completed his
education under the tutorship of the cele-
brated Kentucky educator, James p Bar
bour, of Springfield. Shackeford served in
the closing year of the Mexican war,
and studied law on his return home. He
was admitted to the bar thirty-ive
years ago, and continued an extern

civil war, when he organized the Twenty

with distinction, one of his exploits being the
capture of Gen. John H. Morgan during the
latter's raid through Kentucky, Indiana and

In the East Tennessee campaign he COM

A VERY singular development was
made in charge of illegal voting yester-
day. Ii seems that the Deputy County
Clerks have registered voters without
subjecting them to affidavit. The only
excuse offered by one of these officials
when on the stand yesterday was that the
rush for registration was so great that
he hadn't time to swear everybody. In
this way, it seems, man who had only
declared mis- intentions, got on the regis
ter as a full-fedged citizen. There is
certainly carelessness about this kind
OF performance of official duty that is
reprehensible in the extreme.

A SANTA MONICA SENSATION.
Miss Cora Phillips eight to a COt-
tage by the Sea Denied.

MISS Cora Phillips eight to a COS-
tage by the sea Denied.
The authorities of Santa Monica, just
now, have very embarrassing problem
on their hands. Some days ago a cot
ia ge adjoining the Jackson Hotel, i'm
mediately opposite the Arcadia, and
fronting on the beautiful grounds of the
hostelry, was purchased for $4,000, an
agent being employed to consummate
the transaction. Shortly after it tran
spired that the real purchaser was Miss
Cora Phillips, prominent member OF
the demi monde of this city. There was
great deal of excitement in conse-
quence, and consultations as to how to
prevent the arrival in said cottage OF
Miss Phillips aud her friends we're had
between the Santa Monica officials
Immediately after the purchase
preparations were made to beau
tify the ground in front of the
cottage. It is understood that the Clerk
of the Santa Monica City Council notified
Miss Phillips that the water would be
turned off her lot, and that this has been
done.
The case stands thus at present. It is
said that Miss Cora is determined to stand
by her asserted rights as a property
holder of the City by the Sea, and that
the authorizes are equally determined
that she shall not be permitted to occupy
the cottage. The legal question involved
is an interesting one, and its solution will
be awaited with great interest.

AZUSA AFFAIRS.
Tree Planting and WatersRights as
Adiuhled.


Adjusted.
j. w. Dawson of Azusa, was in the
city yesterday. Johnny reports the
greatest activity as existing all along
that part OF the valley. Tree planting is
the great enterprise of the moment, and
orange trees take precedence of ali other
sorts. The orange growers of the Azusa
are coming money in this industry,
that they are all planting out more trees.
Those who heretofore have not had trees
are now planting all they can procure.
All the old disputes about water IN the
Azusa are settled in most amicable
manner. Some time ago nine COM
missioners were appointed to take
charge of all the questions relating to the
water of the district, and solve the vexed
problem. The Commissioners are: For
the Duarte, Messrs. Scott and Wardell
for the Azusa Land and Water Company,
Messrs. Slauson and Mcneil; for the Co
vina Development Company, Mr.. NJ. /.
Wicks for the old Azusa company,
Messrs Forbes and Frye, and for the
other interests, Messrs. Marshall and
Davidson. Next Tuesday this committee
will meet and organize, and soon all
clashing interests will be entirely har-
monized. 1t will be an excellent thing
for the lovely Azusa valley.

Allisterville, has completed his report
regarding the "crazy boys" at that
institution. The report is very singular
and interesting. The boys were sham
ming. They have all confessed, to the
confusion of the wise doctors who
diagnosed the cases. The inspector has
written the confession of four boys who
played crazy. Gus Splitter was their
leader and originated the plan. The boys
in their confessions say the motives in
spring them were to have fun and have
their meals carried to them. Their ages
range from 10 to IS.

SATURDAY, MARCH o, 1889.
The Passage of the Division BiII,

The Senate, by a very pronounced
vote, yesterday passed the bill to create
the new county of Orange out of portion
of the southern part of Los Angeles
county. II the Governor signs the
measure, and two-thirds of the people
living in the segregated part of the
county vote in favor of division, then
Orange will set up house for herself. So
far, so good. But now comes the true
business which is going to bring
this question of separation, with great
and emphatic gravity, home to the people
of Orange. Elsewhere we have entered
very elaborately into the data touching
the adjustment of the debt and the
assets of the county between the new
county and the old. 1t has been pop
ular belief amongst the favorers OF
division that the new county would be
entitled to larger balance from the old
when division should take place. But
this does not appear to materialize when
we come to analyze the figures. Orange
county will have quite balance against
her on this score. She will then have to
meet a large expenditure for the purpose
of transcribing the archives. After that
she will be called upon to put up consid-
cradle sums for the erection of necessary
county buildings, and will probably COM
mence housekeeping with very onerous
debt, when we consider the taxable
property she will have to meet it.
Perhaps when our neighbors look
seriously into the facts, they will be dis
posed to take different view of the
question from that they seem to have
hastily adopted. They may see that in
setting up for themselves they have made
q grave mistake, and that from an
economical point of view it would be
better "to bear the ills they have than
fly to others that they know not Of" If a
goodly portion of the Taxpayers find that
they are going to pay two dollars of taxes
where they now pay one, they may con-
slider that the whistle is going to cost too
much, and refuse to give the necessary
two-thirds vote. That would be al
curious, but perfectly business-like, out
come to the extraordinary labors of the
rampageous divisionists.

For the sake of the thousands who
have gone to seek sudden wealth in the
newly-discovered mines of Lower Cali
fornia, We hope that they will turn out
as rich and as extensive as the most
sanguine believe them to be. But we
have no faith either in their extent, per.
manence or richness. There may be a
few pockets here and there in gulches
that will pay largely. There may also
be few rich ledges there; but these, no
matter how rich they may be, cannot
be Of general benefit. Lower
California, especially in the region
where the crowd is going, is a
broken country. There is no regularity
in its formation. 1t has none of the
geological or typographical characteris-
ties of the old placers of California,
neither has it the streams that made
those placers 30 valuable for popular
mining. But above all, the mines are
In foreign country where the mining
laws are peculiar, and the control of
mines is absolute in the Government.
When we take all these facts into con.
sideration, we cannot bring ourselves to
hopeful conclusion about the outcome
of the present rush to the new diggings.
On the contrary we have good reason to
fear that of the thousands who are pour
ing into the Santa Clara mines, many, a |
great many of them, will encounter not
only serious hardships. but become the
victims OF cruel disappointment. Those
who have means, or friends from whom
they can receive means, will return all
right. But those who are without means
and without friends will pay a severe
penalty for their credulitY.

Rates Resrored.

Commencing on March 18th, the pas.
senger rates between San Bernardino and
Redlands will be raised back again to &c
cents for the single and so cents for the
round trip, as against 25 cents for both
single and round trips, at the present
time. The present low rate is the result
OF fight with the San Bernardino and
!kedlands motor road, but this was all
brought to an end at the conference held
on Thursday afternoon, at San Bernar-
dino, between General Manager Dan Nc.
Cool and Passenger Agent i. ]. Kyes, of
the Santa Fe, and the officials Of the
motor line.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1889-03-09

Mr.. G. MULHoLLAND, who has been
here for some time in the interest of
securing railroad connection between
1nyo and Los An geles, via Mohave. has
received a letter from Mr.. HI. NJ. Yer
rington, President of the Carson and
Colorado Railroad, in which he says
that he will pay visit to our city in
about ten days. His visit will doubtless
result in giving him a favorable i'm.
preston of the proposition to extend his
road. He will see that there is busi-
ness traffic to be developed here that
would be very advantageous to
his company. Mohave is within
one hundred and twenty miles of
Keeler, the terminus of the G. & G. At
present nearly all of that portion of Cali
fornia the other side of the mountains,
as we'll as the southwestern part of
Nevada, would trade with Los Angeles,
if it were made accessible by rail. We
have no doubt that when Mr.. Yerrington
sees what an immense trade his road can
develop when it has an outlet here, he
will favor the extension. A leading
merchant of Inyo is here now buying
goods, and will send out ten tons of mer-
chandise TO Mohave, where he has teams
to haul it to the valley. This shows the
trend of the Inyo trade and the value of
the proposed railroad extension.

THE EAST AGlTATED.
A Series of TembiOrN Felt at Various
Points,

LANCASTER, Pa, March S.-Two pro-
nounced earthquake shocks we're felt
here this evening about 6 40. Buildings
swayed and people ran out of their
houses. Reports from points in the
county show that the shock was very
perceptible.
CARLISLE, Pa, March S.-The earth
quake shock, which passed over this part
of the State this evening, was felt through
out this city. A number of buildings
we're ehaken and the occupants fright
ened, but no damage has been reported.
GETTYSBURG, Pa, March Sat GAO
this evening a slight earthquake shock
was felt on Cemetery Hill. Houses were
shaken until the windows ratified for ten
seconds. It was also felt at Hanover.
At Lineboro, Maryland, a noise like
Junction it was thought that the train
had left the track and had knocked
down the station.
WILMINGTON, Del, March S.-What is
believed to have been an earthquake
shock was noticed here about 6 .45 this
evening. There was a perceptible
shake, accompanied by a rumbling
noise. Telephone inquiry shows that
the shock was felt in the neighboring
towns. The shock lasted three seconds,
and was from west to east. There WAS
loud report, with very distinct vibra-
tions, and was the most violent shock
ever felt here. Women ran shrieking
from their houses, with their infants in
their arms, and for a while, in some Sec
tions of the city, the damage was extern
sive. No damage resulted here.
BALTIMORE, March 8.-Reports from
the towns throughout the northern and
western portions OF Maryland give an
account of a severe earthquake which
was felt about half-past 7 O'Clock to-
night, in Carroll, Baltimore, Hartford and
Cecil counties. The effect of the shock
was quite perceptible. Windows ratified
sharply, and erockery was in some cases
thrown from shelves. In the town of
West Winchester a number of women
were badly frightened by the quake and
rushed panic stricken from their homes.
The shock was felt slightly in the north-
ern portion of this city, but no damage
is known to have resulted. The wave
seemed to travelling in southerly direc-
ton.
READING, Pa, March S.-Shortly after
8 80 o'clock this evening, persons re-
siding in this section experienced a
strange rocking and trembling OF the
earth, which is believed to have been
caused by an earthquake. 1t was felt
very distinctly on South Mountain in
this county, and in other points in Berks,
Lancaster and Lebanon counties. No
damage is reported.
York, Pa, March S.-A pronounced
earthquake shock WAS felt here this
evening at 6 40, which had the effect of

earthquake shock was felt this evening
between and O'CLOCK in this city and

EVANGELIST MOODY.
He VIII Arrive TO-Day-ServtceA Ar
rang ICments.


At 3 :25 this afternoon Dwight L.
Moody, the evangelist, who has just
completed a mission at San Francisco
and other northern towns, will arrive in
this city. He will be met at the depot
by the committee appointed to make the
arrangements during his stay here, the
delegation being headed by DR.. Russell,
of the First Presbyterian Church. Mr..
Moody will open on Sunday night
at the Pavilion, and will remain
here some time preaching daily under
the auspices of the clergy of the city. A
good many Angelefios will doubtless
remember Mr.. Moody, for he was out on
the Coast years ago when he was travel
ing with Mr.. Sankey. The arrange
ments for the services here are as fol-
lows: The first meeting will be held ut
the First Baptist Church, corner of Sixth
and Fort streets, at o'clock, on Sunday
morning, and will be q conservative
meeting. There will be mass-meeting
at the Pavilion at O'Clock in the after
noon and one in the evening.

The santa Monica Trains.

Commencing Sunday next the South
EN- Pacific will put into effect new
timetable OF the Santa Monica branch.
Under the new arrangement the trains
will arrive and depart as follows:
From Santa Monica, at 6 As A. M, :55
A. NJ, IL 80 A. NJ, and 8 :50P.M.
From the Wolfskill depot, at :37 AM,
l :07 P. NJ, IL P. NJ, and 6 :l0P NJ.
This increase of service has doubtless
been induced by the good accommoda-
tions furnished by the Los Angeles and
Pacific road since its opening, and it may
be regarded as the first move in the COM
petition which will undoubtedly follow
between the two roads.
