THE MAIDEN.
There's a poem in the lily

There's q poem in the lily
With its lowly-bending head;
There's a poem In the sunset
With its brilliant lingo OF red;
There's poem in tho forest
In the lofty mountain wall;
But the poem OF the maiden
is the sweetest OF them all.
She is tall or she is slender
With the lily's face OF white;
She is lovely as the painting
Made by sunset's rosy light;
She Is noble as the forest,
As the lofty mountain wall;
All, the maiden. Of all nature;
Is the sweetest gem OF ALL
Let the cynic rant on fashion
And its catalogue Of whims,
Let him tell of the firtations
At the church between the hymns;
Let him point at coquettes' costumes
In the operate stall,
Yet, the maiden, Notwithstanding,
Is the sweetest gem Of all.
-Wm. Hosea Battot, ia Journalist.

HALL DISCHARGED.
The Court Imposed Upon In the
Matter.

Matter.
The charge Of perjury against Archi-
tect John Hall came up before United
States Commissioner Van Dyke yester-
day for examination and after the hear
ing of the testimony in the case it was
dismissed upon the motion of United
States District Attorney Denis. Mr..
Hall was charged with having sworn to
a false statement while filing a tim Der
claim. District Attorney Denis said in
moving for the dismissal of the case,
hat the decisions are full that even if
John Hall did make this affidavit know
ing that there were trees growing on that
section, if the trees were scattered and it
was not a timbered country that he could
properly, as held by the Commissioners
and by the Secretaries of the Interior,
file on that land as timber culture en-
try. At the time the information was
lodged with him it was represented that
there were 172 trees growing on the so
acres in question, but he had come to
the conclusion that he had been imposed
upon in requesting the issuance of the
complaint. OF the eleven witnesses eX-
amined, not one testified that there were
more than twenty trees on 80 acres Of
land, and he considered it an imposition
to lodge complaint under those circum-
stances. He, therefore, moved that the
defendant be discharged, as there was
absolutely no evidence to hold that he
had committed perjury. United States
Commissioner Van Dyke granted Mr..
Halls discharge.

THE FULLERTON CUTOFF.
A RumOr That 1t fs to be at Once
Built Denied.


An interior paper announced editori-
ally the other day that the rails and ties
are on the ground for the cutoff between
Richfeld and Fullerton, and that it will
be built at once. A HERALD man yester-
day asked Judge Egan, the Santa Fe's
able right of way attorney, if such were
the case, and received reply of "It is
the first have heard of it. AS l told you
some time ago we abandoned the idea Of
building the cutoff on account of the op-
position we received regarding the OBJ
tanning of a route and since then
no overtures have been made regarding
the matter. If it is to be constructed as
your journalistic confrere seems to think,
| it is to be done without the knowledge of
either General Manager McCool Or my
self" Dropping his sarcastic vein, Mr..
Egan continued: 81 will explain to you
how the report probably originated.
After the San Diego line was completed
we had lot of material strewn out along
the road, and this we have recently col
lected together and, for want of better
place, have stored it at Fullerton. am
sorry to have to dash the hopes to the
ground Of the residents of the country
between that place and Richfeld, but
such are the facts in the case"

THE ORANGE CROP.
Most of the Shipments Going Up
North.


General Agent Williamson Dunn, who
has been to Riverside looking after the
orange shipments in the interest OF the
Santa Fe, chatted to HERALD man yes
terday regarding the golden harvest.
"Most of the fruit is at present being
shipped into Oregon and the northern
country" he said. ga new market has
been opened there through the building
of the Southern Pacific's Oregon line,
and it is good one, Us the demand is
strong and prices good. 1t does
not pay very we'll to send
fruit into the Eastern markets at
this season of this year, as the Florida
fruit is still pouring in in profusion.
Later on, though, we will have our turn
and it will be good one, for there has
been magnificent yield in some of the
districts: The Riverside fruit is very
fine, and then again there is a large
average in the Redlands county, that is
bearing this season for the first time.
do not think that our early estimates
of shipment of from 1000 to 800 car
loads from Southern California this year
will prove exaggerated.

COLONEL EASTMAN'S DEATH.
A once Noted Lawyer Dies at the
County Poor Farm.

A once Noted Lawyer Dies at the
County Poor Farm.
The death of Colonel James G. East
man, at the County Poor Farm on Fri
day night, is announced. Colonel East
man came to California in 1868, and
located in Marysville, Yurta county,
where he practiced law. He soon be.
came noted for his brilliancy and the
eloquence of his appeals to the juries.
In the Booth campaign he stumped the
State for Governor Booth, who was
elected, and during that campaign be-
came we'll known all over the State. His
brilliant arguments in favor of the man
ne was working for gained him many
votes, and Colonel Eastman gained a
reputation which has not been forgotten
to-day, although for the past few
years his tongue has been silent
AT or he left Marysville he went
to San Francisco where he staid short
time, and then came to Los Angeles,
where, in 1875, he entered into CO.
partnership with Judge Brunson and ].
A. Graves. This firm was one OF the
most respected at that time, and handled
d ldISo dllOuuI vi pubiACCos hhlOh5 ohO
important cases which it handled was
that attendant upon the Temple failure.
Col. Eastman's speeches in some of his
cases are we'll remembered to-day. A
few ears afterwards the firm dissolved,
and new co.partnership was formed
under the form Of Eastman, Haley, King
and Robsrts. This lasted until Col.
Eastman broke down. The appetite for
liquor had been growing upon him ever
since his residence at Marysville, and
from this time he sank lower and lower,
until for the past two years he has been
almost constant charge upon
the county. His wife left him and went
to San Francisco shortly after the firm of
Eastman, Haley, King & Robarts was
dissolved. She took their only child with
her, and after that time he had no family
ties. One of his last public speeches was
on July 4, 1876, at the centennial cele-
bration in Los Angeles, when he was the
orator of the day. For the past six
months Col. Eastman has been an inmate
of the County Jail and County Poor
Farm, and when at liberty has been
given bed at the city prison. 1t has
been matter of wonder to his friends
that he lived 80 long.

The following letter from son of Mr..

Los ANGELES, CAL, December 26, '8S.

A Compctitor Cut Out.

Mr.. T. T. Walton, who has for some
years past had charge of the Milton and
Yosemite Stage Line, operating between
Stockton and the valley of wonders, has
established himself permanently in this
city, with headquarters at the Southern
Pacific's office on Main street. The Mil
ton line ran in opposition to that oper-
ated by the Southern Pacific from Ber-
enda, and caused quite lively war, the
rates at one time during the past season
falling about 30 per cent. below the
regular prices. The s. P. did not
care about this sort of theory and as a
result have got MIR. Walton out of the

inture be in the hands of the Stage and
T lrnpike Company. Mr.. Walton says
chat the past season was very good one
for valley travel and that the roads have
been put in first Gloss condition. They
are blocked now with snow, however,
and will be impossible until about
April. Mr.. Walton will handle the
tourist business for the Southern Pacific
to all of its noted sanitariums and resorts.
