California ON wheels.

The Secretary of the Chamber of Com
merce has a number of photographs of
the California on Wheels, the travelling
exhibit of California products which is
now on its way throughout the East.
One picture shows the car surrounded
by high snow drifts, which form very
fine contrast to the bits of semi-tropic
scenery upon the inside walls of the car.
On a large blackboard quotations are
posted each day of the temperature re-
received by telegram from five cities in
the State, OF which Los Angeles is one.
On each side of the car are racks contain
ing interesting and instructive specimens
of all the products of the State. Every
inch of space is utilized, and everything
is arranged in the best possible taste.
In the course of the trip immense
quantities of literature we're distributed.
and large number Of people were
shown through the car. An estimate
may be formed of the attendance which
the show has received from the fact that
the floor of the car was found TO be COM
pletely worn out by the time it got to
Rochester, and had to be replaced.

Eight Hour League.

A rousing meeting of the Eight Hour
League was held last night at the head
quarters, No. 6 West Second street.
Words of encouragement and support
were received from number of points
on the coast. A communication from
St. Louis, Mo-, announced complete
victory for the eight hours in the build
ing trades. The delegates from Inter-
national Cgarmakers' Union, No 225,
stated that all the union men of the
craft in America, $4,000 in number, had
been working on the eight hour system
for the last three years, and declared it a
success morally, financially and physi-
cally. Reports from Long Beach were
to the effect that Mr.. Dillon, who is hav-
ing an $4,000 residence built near that
place, deserves the honor of being the
first man in that vicinity to introduce
the eight hour system and paying full
wages. Messrs. W. A. Cole, j. L. Gorno
and j. B. McChesney were appointed
delegates to represent the League OF the
Eight Hour Convention to be held at
San Francisco on June I'd.

Peter Johnson Dies from EX.
cessive Drinking.
CUT IN RAILROAD WAC ES
The Keepers of the Flag Cottage
Found Guilty-FOnd Parents
Left Behind.

The Coroner went out to Crescenta
Canada yesterday afternoon to hold an
inquest on man by the name of Peter
Johnson, a stone mason, who drank
himself to death. He was a man oi
about As years of age, and was living
alone, having been divorced from his
wife. Last week he came down to Los
Angeles to celebrate a spree of colossal
proportions. He had always been hard
drinker, but on this occasion he quite
outdid himself. At last, s stone con-
tractor by the name of Kane, for whom
johnson had worked, came into the city
to take him away from temptation. Last
Sunday Kane found the man, and put
him on the train, and paid his fare out.
At 5 o'clock Sunday evening, when
Kane got out to Crescenta Canada, he
found Johnson near the depot. He asked
for 81 with which to get whiskey enough
to sober up on. Kane let him have the
money and he went to saloon near at
hand. There he got couple of drink 8
and about three-fourths of quart of
whiskey. Monday evening about 8
o'clock he was found lying by the side of
the road by a passing rancher named
King. It was found, on investigation
that he was dead. The Coroner's jury
brought in a verdict of death from alco-
holic eXcesses,

Parents Who Were In a Sore
Dilemma at Beaumont.
When the Southern Pacific overland
train from the East, due here at OILS
P. NJ. on Monday evening, pulled into
Beaumont, eighty miles south of this
city, it was discovered that a stop of q
few minutes would be necessary for track
orders. As is usual on such occasions, a
number of the travellers poured forth
from the coaches to stretch their limbs
on terra firma, and amongst them was a
man and his wife who had four children
on the train. They strayed a good way
from the track, and when the train finally
pulled out, they were left behind. 1t is
downhill to the next station, Ell Casco,
nine miles distant, and the parents, fear
full of the safety of their children, ran
drown the grade in the hopes OF over
taking the train.
A Southern Pacific overland can. how
ever, go a little faster than human
being can run, 80 they finally gave up
the chase, and walked into Ell Caseo
tired and dusty. They told the operator
of their distress, and he telegraphed
ahead to Los Angeles, and asked the
officials to take the children off the
train. This was accordingly done, and
the youngsters were placed in the Mar
cisse House for the night, where they
were yesterday morning welcomed by
their parents, who came in on the next
train. The whole party went on to San
Francisco at noon.

FOUND GUILTY..
The Flag Cottage People will be
Sentenced To-day.

sentenced T0-dAys
The Flag Cottage case came to an end
yesterday with verdict of guilty from
the jury. The defendants, Charles and
Maud Mccormack were charged with
keeping a house of ill-fame. Several
months ago the same people were
charged with maintaining disorderly
house and were tried in Justice Savage's
Court for the misdemeanor. 1t failed to
hold, for the reason that although the
general repute OF the house was bad, this
did not constitute evidence, and sutti-
cient number of people who had visited
the place could not be induced to give
testimony against it to prove the charge.
This last trial has been in progress
since last Friday before Justice Austin.
The taking of testimony was completed
| Monday afternoon. A large number OF
witnesses were called by the prosecution,
some of whom narrated disgraceful per-
formances which they had seen in pro-
gress in and about the Flag Cottage.
The others testified to the bad repute oi
the house.
Yesterday morning at half-past {
O'Clock Mr.. Hardesty opened the case fol
the State, reviewing the testimony anc
outlining the law on the subject of houses
of i'll fame. Mr.. Williams followed in 9
vigorous speech, in which he attacked
the good people OF the West End of the
city for their "Puritsnical" notions.
The court gave its instructions to tn.
iury, refusing to offer one instruction
which was supplied by the defense. Thil
was to the effect that there could be nj
conviction ON testimony as to common
Irepute. An exception was entered by
Los Angeles daily herald., 1889-05-29
Heavy customs Duties.

A Mexican came into the Santa re
offices yesterday ard inquired the rate
on barley from here to Ensenada, stating
that he had about ten carloads he de-
sired to ship. He was informed that the
railroad freightage would be So a ton to
San Diego, from which point to Ensen-
ada the steamer charges would be 81 a
ton. He went away apparently salts
fed, but came back about an hour after
wards and said that he would have to lei
he matter 90. He had been inquiring
into the customs duties at the Mexican
post and discovered that he would have
% pay $50 duty for every ton of barley
that was passed in.
