Gasoline on Fire.

Yesterday morning an alarm of fire
drew the department, with the machines,
to the vicinity of the Downey.avenue
bridge. The cause of the alarm was
fire in an oil car at tha storehouse of the
Standard Oil Company, between the
tracks, near San Fernando street. The
fremen found slow fire smoCldering in
a Car full of gasoline, standing by the
door of the warehouse. An engine
hauled the car up the track
nearly to the Santa Fe bridge crossing
the river, and the East Los Angeles fire
engine soon brought stream to play on
the fire. The gasoline was packed in
cans, one of which the stream knocked
out of the case, and as it went flying
through the air it exploded. Had the
explosion taken place among the other
cans on the car, there would have been q
crash whose effects might have been
disastrous.
The car was No. 612 of the Atlantic
& Pacific Railroad Conn pany.

The First.Street Injunction,

Mrs. Bigelo VS. suit to have an injunc-
ton issue against the Frst-street bridge
was decided by Justice Ross, of the Fed
eral court, Yesterday, adversely to Mrs.
Bigelow. The Court gave as his reason
for denying the motion the fact that q
similar suit is pending in the State
courts, and he did not think it best to
create any conflict. At the same time
the intimation was given that the Court
thought that an injunction ought to be
granted on the merits of the case, and the
plaintiff was given the right to renew the
motion before him whenever the suit il
the State court was ended. Now, OF
course, the case in the State courts will
be dismissed and the motion rene we'd be
fore the United States court, when an
injunction may be expected.

Mr.. Dobinson showed how much
study and thought both gentlemen have
devoted to the art dramatic. 1t would
be pleasant to devote special and ana
lytical attention to the several actors in
this delightful performance, and to give
more extended notice to all of these
artistic amateurs. The crowded state of
tne HERALD's columns this morning will
probably be taken as sufficient excuse
for not doing 30. But this brief notice
cannot be closed without referring to the

perfect.

Oklahoma City Journal: Monday night

Gent, however. to knock him down, ana
he started on the run toward Mcclure

made. Yesterday the mans head was
considerably swollen but he was able TO

assault was undoubtedly robbery. as the
men had just been paid of, and 1t was aiso

Cherokees weakening. They have con-
cluded to appoint commission. They
want s. per acre. The government should
give not cent above $l-25 per acre, and
this is enough. considering that they nave
no title to the lands. How can the govern
ment afford to pay s. and then home
stead it to settlers! The appointment o.
commission to negotiate with the govern
ment must not be taken as an indication
of desire to sell at the government price
of ST. IS per acre, but rather As an act or
courtesy on the part of the Cherokees. The
commission will offer the Cherokees other
inducements, such as the REIMBURSEMENT
by the government of its rights under ar
ticle Is. 1866. to settle friendly and civH-
iZeu Indians on Cherokee lands east OF go
but this will hardly be sufficient induce
ment. The Cherokees are fnlly impressed
with the belief that congress will pay them
So per acre. They will appoint delegates
to Washington for this purpose.

HITS TEE HYPOCRITES HARD.

Hon. Sol Miller, editor of the Kansas
Chief, the oldest paper in Kansas, and
whose editor has been prominent II
questions touching the public veal OF
Kansas for thirty years, and who is an
out and out champion OF the prohloition
amendment to the constitution, IN the
course of long article against resub
mission acknowledges some OF the corn
as follows:
But if resubmission is really gaining
strength, the insincerity and hypocrisy
of prohibitionists and church people are
responsible for it. They are not true to
the party that champions their measure.
The Republicans of several states have
adopted prohibition, and ever since their
most bitter enemies have been the
members of the Prohibition par
tv. They seem to have an
unconquerable hatred Of the par
ty that enacted their doctrines into
laws. The Republicans have had to
fight their old enemies, the Democrats,
who are reinforced by the whisky and
prohibition elements. Why, how has 1t
been right here at home? Several years
ago, the church and prohibition people
defeated the Republican candidate for
representative, because they SAID he was
not a temperance man, but drank beer;
and they elected a Democrat, the plat
form of whose party denounced prohibl-
ton. At the election this year. life
long temperance man prohibitionlst, a
church member, was a Republican can
didate for Office, and his opponent was
L. 1ySp OF a
hundred men, proclaiming them
selves Republican prohibitionists, voted
for the dram-drinking Democrat,
against the temperance Republican.
One preacher even rebuked the superIn-
tendent of his Sunday school for having
voted for the temperance man against
the dram-drinker, saying that if he had
voted for the drinker, he would have
been more successful as superintendent!
With such exhibitions of hypocrisy,
would it be much wonder if honest peO-
pie became disguised with measures that
are advocated by such people!
Another thing that disgusts reasonable
people, is the contemplate meddling and
espionage on the part of would-be prohi-
bition leaders. Prohibition was intended
to stop the sale of liquor. and decrease
drunkenness, and not no invade the pri-
vate or business house, to prevent the
drinking of social glass. Several times
lately, at Topeka, there have been gath
erings for special purposes, and men
who had business relations with that
class of people, have invited them to
supper or lunch and have set wine or
beer before their guests. Although it
was not in violation of any provision of
the prohibitory law, the Topeka Capital
took occasion to utter prolonged howl
about it and to denounce the business
firms, as if they had committed great
crime. This sort OF stuff disgusts many
a practical temperance man.
