The emperor of China is anxious to en-

to keep the young potentate from acting in a

1T CALLED IN VAIN.
A locomotives Plaintive Cry and How
Is Affected the Helpless Engineer.

lFron the Des Mones Letter.l
A railroad roundhouse was in flames.
Fire had leaped, apparently in self-bor
demon, out of the waste box, and before a
hand could be found with the skill to "pull
out" Its waiting locomotives, some of them
with boilers full of water and low fires, it
was too late. For 1t was a small roundhouse
in small town, and lone watchman had
been left to care for it, and it was nigh mid
night. His loud call summoned a concourse
of citizens in breathless haste, but all they
could do was to stand and see the great
sheet of fire from the pitched roof and how
the inAammable materials inside made every
locomotive stall a caldron Of fire, and all the
windows glared, all the doors poured out
smoke, and roar, and long flames. There
stood the steam giants plainly visible vibra-
ting in the intense heat, unapproachabls as
though set in the internal regions. Still it
was fire where the element of human dan-
ger was all missing. Suddenly, long and
dolorous, one of these engines began to sound
the danger signal. Heat within and without
made its boiler shake with the leap of fercely
boiling water. A bit of falling iron bent
and pulled downward the lever, moving its
escape valve SO it could and did sound
ceaselessly. Loud, thrilling, it was a note
of terror. It awed every hearer. Listen,
some day, thoughtfully, to the danger signal
of locomotive. Even the broad and peace

most terrible sound that man has invented.
It reaches the dull intelligence of slowest
beasts as warning. The solemn power,
| then, of this cry, apparently raised by the
will of the engine itself, in the midst of its
| torture, and indescribable. 1t WAS hard not
to feel that 1t was sentient thing pleading
for help. 1t pealed on, an urgent monotone,
| the tremulous voice of senseless force. One
man heard it, distressed by 1t beyond telling.
He was its engineer. The engine he loved
| with the peculiar attachment these men
have for the thing of power they control
seemed to be crying to him voluntarily with
| the appeal his hand had often evolved from
it. He wanted to plunge in to its rescue.
The fiery furnace of the Hebrew children
was matched by its surroundings, and he
could only listen and tremble and le. it call
| in vain. It was all curious bit of pathos,
| evolved wholly from material things by
chance, and costing not gang to its source,
yet 1t touched and saddened every soul that
| heard it. But none of them could quite
comprehend the feeling of its driver or
know how pitifully the next morning he
touched his gray, burned-out, ruined giant
that had poured its shrek into his ears for
that long half-hour.

Matters Municipal.

Through an action initiated by Hon. j.
Marion Brooks, an injunction has been
issued against City Assessor Fischer to
prevent his taking his Office until the
Supreme Court shall have passed upon
his title. The cause will be heard in
this city on the I'd of April. The selec-
ton of the City Assessor as the official
to be enjoined surprises a great many
people, because, according to the new
charter, that official does not take his
office until the first Monday in January,
1890, Mr.. Fischer thus holding over.
Perhaps Mr.. Brooks cited Mr.. Fischer
because, in the event of the new charter
being sustained, there will then have
been no interruption in the functions Of
any of the new officials. 1t is under
stood that the action is based on the
ground that neither the new charter Of
Los Angeles, nor any of the new munich
pal charters, were properly approved by
the Legislature.
Speculation is rife as to who will be
the new Chief of Police. Gen. E. P.
johnson having declined to serve on the
new Board of Police Commissioners, it is
announced that he is to be replaced by
Major w. G. Furrey. This is thought to
be conclusive of the election of ex-Sherif
Frank Burns as Chief of Police, it being
regarded as certain that he will receive
the votes of Mayor Hazard, Major Furrey
and Refugio Bilderrain, which will give
him majority of one, the other men,
bers of the Committee indicated by the
caucus, the Messrs. Lindley and Knox,
intending, it is said, to decline to vote,
or to cast their ballots for some other
candidate. There was some talk early
yesterday morning to the effect that one
of the five Councilmen relied upon to
carry out this slate could not be de-
pended upon; but the best opinion is
that, in caucus held at O'Clock yester-
day afternoon in the Southern California
bank parlors, everything was straighten-
ed out and the required pledges were
secured.
The programme for to-day is briefly as
| follows: The old Council will meet and
receive the reports of committees and
then adjourn. The new Council will as
semble, organize by electing their Presi-
dent, who will be Councilman Franken-
field, and will then proceed to the elec-
ton of the Boards of Police, Fire Com
missioners and Health.
Mayor Hazard has not yet made up
his mind as to whether or no he will send
to the Council the appointments con-
fded to him. These are the Public Ii
brary Directors, the Building Inspector,
the Water Overseer, the Sealer of
Weights and Measures, and the Mayors
clerk.
After the new Council has elected the
officials named, aud heard the Mayors
message, that body will probably con-
clude that it has done work enough for
one day and adjourn.

A Gang of DesperadOes.

PITTsBURG, March 20.-Word was re-
ceived tonight that six desperate men,
among them are known to be Lewis,
Ramsey, Sullivan and Tasker, of the
party which committed tortures on the
citizens at McClelland town last week,
are located near Markleysvill, noun
tain settlement on the southern borders
of Fayette county. They are armed to
the teeth and constantly on guard
against surprise. The Markleysville peo-
pie cannot raise posse strong enough to
make an attack on the men, and they
have asked for assistance from Union
town, the county seat. They also ask
the County Commissioners to increase
the reward for their capture to 81 900.

IT is pleasant to know that We have al
last reversed the lyle of thing of which
the HERALD has been complaining SC
long, viz, the importation of many Of
the necessaries OF life into Southern Cali
fornia. In February three carloads OF
butter we're sent East, one from San
Francisco OF 26,170 pounds, one from Los
Angeles of "a, $50 pounds and one from
Cotton Of 81 1919 pounds. The San Fran
cisco Bulletin, from which we learn these
facts, says:
These are the first shipments of the
kind by rail in almost year, and we be-
lieve they are the first from Los Angeles
and Cotton. There must be a margin
for profit in this trade. Fresh grass but
ter in the East at this time OF year is not
plentiful.
In view OF the fact that we can raise in
Los Angeles county from six to eight
tons Of alfalfa to the acre yearly, this
region ought soon to be the champion
butter region of the world, and we have
no doubt it will be.

WE RARELY refer editorially to advel-
character, but those of the Redondo
Beach and Inglewood Companies partake
of such a public nature that We make
them an exception to the rule. These
enterprising companies are really devel-
oping a section. Their plans comprise
the building of wharves, the practical
creation of a harbor, the erection of a
hotel on Redondo Beach on a colossal
scale, and the construction of railway
of their own, which will make hourly
trips to the ocean. The principal stock
holders OF these companies are men of
immense wealth and OF public spirit
famous all over the Coast. They came
here right on the heels of the ''busted"
town-lot boom, and have shown their
confidence in this section by enormous
consummated and contemplated invest
ments. They have unlimited faith in
the outcome of this county,
and are in no hurry to get
their money back. A commodious
hotel, on the most modern plan, and
nearly five hundred feet long, will be
begun at once and finished by the 4th of
July. Its appointments will be sump-
tuous and will embrace everything sug-
gested by the latest laws of hygiene.
The HERALD has often heretofore referred
to the great work these companies have
already done on their properties, which
include, amongst other things, the charm
ing settlements of Inglewood and Re-
dondo Rpach

A NOVEL STRIKE.
The Republican Legislators of West
Virginia Ina Muntiy.

CHARLESTON, w. Va, March 20-It is
reported to-day that the Republican
members of the House of Legislature
have entered into an agreement, under
thorough canvass of the political situ-
alton, to refuse to obey the call of Gov
ernor Wilson for an extra session of that
body, on the ground that he is not the
lawful Governor of the State, and is
therefore without authority to issue such
call. Their determination has reached
the ears of the Democrats and has
kicked up an immense hubbub. While
the Democrats have a majority of one in
the House, they are two in the minority
in the Senate, and they are busy tonight
arranging to combat this new move OF
the Opposition. 1t is likely that should
the Republicans fail to respond, the Ser
geant-at-Arms will be sent to arrest them
at their homes, and this might easily
precipitate trouble.
