FRANK f. ROSE CONVICTED.
The BuncO Game Played ON J. II.
Haskims Costs Dear.

Yesterday morning the last witness for
Frank E. Rose, the sport, charged with
cheating j. B. Haskins, of New York
out OF So 600, was examined before Judge
Cheney. The lawyers then proceeded
to give their views to the jury, and fin
ished at about 2 p. m. The jury then
retired and after being out just fifty-fve
minutes returned with a verdict of
guilty. 1t can scarcely be said that the
verdict was surprise to any one, not
excepting the defendant. Roses ap.
pearance has been all through the trial
the worst testimony against him. He
came into the court with conviction
painted on his brow. However innocent
a man might be, the appearance of Rose
would go against him. His manner on
the stand was bad.
The extreme penalty of the law is ten
years in the penitentiary. Rose may get
the biggest end of it. Judge Cheney will
pass sentence on next Tuesday.
Rose sat on in the court after his con-
viction until the court adjourned, and
then he passed up to the County Jail
under the charge of Deputy Cline, and
in company with Isadora Sails, the San
Pedro strumpet convicted of an assault
with deadly weapon.

SANTA MONICA.
Gleanings and Gossip at the Ocean
Rurah-BusfnessR Lively.

Mr.. j. w. Scott returned this morning
from his trip to Catalina with General
Superintendent J. A. Fillmore of the
Southern Pacific and the other officials.
The journey was a most enjoyable one,
the only mar being that, returning, the
sea was very rough, and, as a result,
nearly all were s-sick. The magnates
were provided with special boat by the
Banning boys.
The challenge by the Los Angeles
Cricket Club for match at an early
date has been received by the English
contingent here, and in all probability
will be taken up. There is a strong
eleven in Santa Monica nowadays, and
good contest viii! be the result if the
game ls arranged.
The subscriptions for the new wharf
are not coming in at all, every one being
apparently afraid to move in the matter
until the fate Of the sewer question is de-
cided. After the election a special
meeting is to be called and the matter
arranged one way or the other.
The hot weather of today ia sufficient
to ensure big rush here tomorrow, and
those interested are glad accordingly

ances will be given, free of charge, by

first meeting with Edgcomb and of gain
ing her fathers consent to have him call.
He had always acted as gentle
man. The story she told District
Attorney Kelly about the rape of
her sister Ella was not true, and had
been prompted by Garrett. He had told
her what to tell the District Attorney.
Her relations with Edgcomb had begun
in March. She had not resisted him
when he kissed her and had never put
any obstacle in his way. Edgcomb had
strongly suspected that she was having
intercourse with her father, for he found
them one day in a compromising posi-
ton. She had never confessed to Edg-
comb. As regards her mother, she did
not know whether she lived or not, but
she was alive two years ago. Her name
was Annie Lewis. Her father had told
her that she WAS his daughter, but was
born out of wedlock.
A continuance was taken till tomorrow
at 8 80.

present Council for.the nominal purpose
of building so-called sewers is matter
calling for serious reflection and investi-
CATION by all true men. 1t will not do to
be satisfied with the argument for the
scheme in which the City Engineer re-
commends the sewer system for which he
has made the specifications under the
orders of the City Council. We must
assert our own manhood and ability to
investigate and determine for ourselves
on the erpediency, the policy, the neCes-
sity and the adUisdbihty of the proposed
scheme. As to these questions every in
telligent citizen is as capable of forming
a correct opinion on this subject az a sur
veyor or engineer. Every intelligent
citizen is capable of forming correct
opinion on this subject. The City Engi-
neer can give certain data or information
in his professional capacity as to the
levels and topography of the surrounding
country and the cost OF constructing
sewers on certain lines, but he is no
more capable of determining on the
question as to whether the sewage of this
city should be thrown into the Santa
Monica bay or be taken in different di-
rection and utilized in the broad and
sandy plains on and in the direction Of
the Los Angeles river than any other
intelligent citizen.
We must especially bear in mind that
the plan now proposed by the City Engi
peer was made under arbitrary orders of
the City Council, directing him, in ef-
feet, to propose route for a continuous
sewer from this city, debouching it's con-
tents directly into the sea. Having no
latitude or discretion as to that part of
his orders, he has obeyed it, and pro-
duced the specifications for such a sewer,
the first cost of which is specified at
100000. Perhaps, if such sewer has
to be built all the way to the sea, it would
cost at least that amount, and probably
before it is used five or ten years the
expenses of repairs and of using its fl-
trating works, and other liabilities con-
nected with it, will be much more. The
City Surveyor is no doubt good authority
as to the cost and the best manner of
constructing sewer on stated line, but
as to the policy Of constructing such a
sewer his opinion is worth no more than
that of any other equally intelligent citi-
zen.
Therefore, let every man form his own
opinion on this subject, and vote accord.
| ing to the best of his own Judgment.

Abbott Out on Ball.

"Johnny" Abbott, who was arrested
Friday night on charge of ATTEMPTED
rape," committed upon the person OF
the eleven.year-old McFadden girl, who
was taken by her unnatural mother from
the Sisters School and placed in house
of ill-fame, was arraigned yesterday and
pleaded not guilty. DIR. Morrison said
the girl was still suffering from the
effects OF the assault, and would need
medical attention for some time. The
attempt had been successful, he said,
and its effects on the girl had been very
serious. The girl identified Abbott
without any question, and his examina-
tion was set for August 10th, after plea
of not guilty had been entered. Bail
was offered, and accepted in the sum of
81 900 in cash.

A Reioinder TO "Dr.v Barber.

EDITORS HERALD-A libelous article
concerning Messrs. Wicks & Ward and
Mr.. George Varcoe appeared in your is
sue of yesterday, over the signature of
"Dr." E. I. Barber. Permit me to
demonstrate the falsehood and malice of
the statements and insinuations therein
contained. Neither of the three gentle-
men mentioned knew anything OF the
proposed arrest of Barber until after the
District Attorney had filed the complaint
and caused the warrant to be issued. To
my certain knowledge Wicks & Ward
we're consulted on the subject some
months ago, and they advised against
criminal prosecution of Barber, on the
ground of the difficulty Of securing con-
viction under the peculiar wording of the
statute for the suppression of quacke.
know this to be fact, by reason of be-
ing in the Offices of Messrs. Wicks &
Ward. l, myself, without the knowl-
edge of either MIR. Wicks or Mr.. Ward or
Mr.. Varcoe, introduced the complaining
witness and his aged wife to the District
Attorney, Hon. Frank P. Kelly, who be-
gan the prosecution, after investigation
which satisfied him that Mrs. Norgross
had been crippled for life by DIR. Bar
ber's malpractice. DR.. Barber rendered
a written bill of $50 for his services, and
threatened suit to collect it; and yet ho
has the hardihood to claim in the COM
munication mentioned that he attended
her as charity patient.
The public will see from the above
that however unpleasant it is to have a
scrub" make an unjust attack upon
one, it is safer to take DIR. Barbers bad
language than it is to take bis medicines.

Where Is william MaxeyY

William Maxey is an old-timer in Los
Angeles. He came here in 1854, and has
been a resident of the city since that
time. He has been connected with the
Fire Department for years, and lately has
been stationed at the engine.house on
Boyle Heights. During his quarter of a
century of residence in the Angelic City,
Maxey has accumulated good deal of
property. He is probably worth $4,000.
He is bachelor.
Last Monday morning he came to the
place of business of his friend, George A.
Vignolo, on First street, and told Vignolo
he was going to San Diego to collect note
for 81 300, then due. He had $3.50 cash
in his pockets. On the same day he
went to San Diego and was seen there by
a good many Los Angeles people who
are there at this time. Last Wednesday,
he was seen in vehicle accompanied by
two ladies driving towards Point Iona.
That is the last that has been seen or
heard of VIM. Maxey. 1t is not known
whether he collected the 81 300, and no
one can suggest reason for his disap-
pearanCe.

ON HABEAS CORPUS.
T. J. Cuddy Before Justice Stephe
j. Field.


Hon. Stephen J. Field, of the United
States Supreme Court, took his seat on
the bench of the United States Circuit
Court yesterday morning, and at once
called the case of. r. j. Cuddy. Mr..
Cuddy is in the County Jail for contempt
of court. He came before Judge Field
yesterday on writ of habeas corpus,
issued by Judge Field early in the week.
The case of the defendant was argued by
Judge Anderson, of Anderson, Fitzgerald
& Anderson, and the United States Dis
trict Attorney argued the point ior the
prosecution. Judge Field having heard
the case stated by both sides, took the
legal citations made and stated that he
would reserve his decision until Monday.
Mr.. Cuddy's term of imprisonment will
expire on that day at II o'clock, mid
night.

Gen. snyder and the West Sewer
System.

The stories published in the papers
about Gen. Bill Snyder, of Philadelphia,
yesterday, created no little comment on
the streets. The last of Snyder has not
yet been heard here. 1t is a sort of
semi secret that affidavits have been pre-
pared and sworn to setting forth the per-
lection of the West Sewer System, as il is
operated at Atlantic City. These affi-
davits are made by Hon. f. F. Spence,
W. F. Bosbyehell, H. Sinsabaueh, W. T.
Lambie, John Lowell and Captain A. w.
Barrett. They will be made public at
an early day.
Colonel l. R. Dunkefgerger said yester-
day that Los Angeles people would do
we'll to pay Snyder the $4,000 he was out
of pocket for the expenses of the Council
Committee which went to investigate the
sewer system at Atlantic City, before
they held him to too severe account IN
other matters.

Council, and if this sewer ie built, an
other liability is imposed on our over
burdened city.
Eighth. The rejection of the Ballona
outfall sewer, and in lieu thereof the
adoption of the Los Angeles river for dis
posing of the sewage as suggested, will OBJ
viate and avoid all the objections, difficult
ties, waste, the continuous expenses,
liabilities and injuries above referred to.
Ninth. The adoption and substitution
of the Los Angeles river route would
save at least $500 600, which could and
should be used for extending within the
city limits much needed intersecting
sewers, in those parts of the city now
practically left without any sewer sys-
tenn at ali by the present proposed plan.
We distinctly state that we do not
wish this 100000 withheld from
expenditure for constructing a proper
sewer system. We only contend
that it should be spent where it will be
of benefit, instead of detriment to the
people who will have to pay it.
The writer of the above, as an old res
ident of this city, having more than the
average experience and knowledge of
the climate, circumstances, soil and to-
biography of this city and it's surround
ings, considers it his privilege, and per-
hsps his duty, to express his views on
the subject of this article, which he be-
lieves to be of vital importance to the
future welfare of the community. He
hopes these expressions may be consid-
cred by his fellow-citizens as emanating
from no other motive than a desire to
eerve the public good.

could be attributed 20 any negligence or
carelessness on the part Of the railroad au-
thoripes. Back-Engineer James, Of Pc

Inc train left Roanoke with orders 10 move

OF Roanoke was reached thiTty-two
minutes had been lost. There were seventy
passengers aboard and eleven railroad-men,
including officials and employees. or the
former only about twenty have been seen
alive, some twenty-five or three are known
70 have been lost, and IL is thought that

selves heard. OF the railroad-mcn. seven
were killed, three wounded. and one
escaped without injury. though in trying
TO extricate himself from the burning car
ne fen into the turbulent waters and was
borne about $50 feet down the stream. II
Is probable that others were washed down
the Staunton river slOpe.
This embankment had been in use for
thirty-four years and never before ex-
hibited any signs OF giving away. The
break was 250X2l feet. and one mile further
east there was another washout about
three times as long rs this one and twice
as deep. Nine miles further east the bridge
over the Little Otter river. which Is go
feet long and over ninety feet high, stood
about a foot out Of line. II therefore seems
that the train was destined 10 some fright
ful calamity.
The road was repaired and trains ran
through Thursday morning, the first thing
passing over being the engine and car fur
nished the Commissioner
The train consisted Of seven coaches and
three heavy slecpers. OF all this timber
there was not enough left uDburned to
make one car-door. The only. yestige of
the burned victims that could be found
was few small pieces Of bone.
