CATALINA ISLAND.
H Has Not Been Bouded-The Ex-
act Situation.

NJ Has Not Been Bouded-The Ex-
act Situation.
An evening contemporary stated last
night that Catalina Island was disposed
of for 5000, 900, and in the article ap-
peared the following language: "The
purchase of the island is contradicted.
but it is positively known that the gen.
tlemen have bonded the island for the
amount stated and that $50, 900 has been
paid"
A HERALD man called, during the
course of the event ng, upon Mr.. @. A.
Sumner, the agent for the island, and
showed him the ite m. "It is absolutely
untrue,u said that gentleman. "About
ten days ago Colon ell G. G. Smith, N. W.
Sampson and I. B. Hazelton, party of
English gentlemen, called at my Office and
asked for information about the island.
/ told them all / knew, and they said
that they were thinking of purchasing it,
if reasonable terms were made. The fig
ures that named to them am not at
liberty tell you, but they are not $780,
600. as the evening paper puts it. The
day after eur conference they went over
TO the island and looked about thor
ouehly. Since they returned they have
been in the office once or twice, but no
financial transaction of any description
has vet taken place, and that
is ali there is in it. l do
not even know whether or not they have
money behind them, but should inn
agine SO by the way they talked. They
did not exactly state what they proposed
doing with the island in the event OF
purchasing it, but l inferred that the
idea was to handle it ia about the same
manner as at present, only on larger
SCALE" -,
Inquiry at the hotel where the English
men are making their headquarters In
this city revealed the fact that they were
out of town, so their side of the question
must at present remain unturned.

A RAILROAD SMASH-UP.
The Santa Ana Train O0llides with
Working Outfit.


n working Outfit.
The train which left this city at 5
O'Clock on Thursday night for Santa
Ana, met with disaster before it had got
we'll out of Florence. 1t had made the
usual stop at that depot and was pulling
out again at good rate, when on round
ing a sharp curve, the inmates of the
cab saw a work-train switching right
across the track ahead. Nothing could
be done but to apply the air brakes and
reverse the engine, for it was impos-
sible to avoid the collision, and
this being effected the engineer and fire.
men jumped and escaped with whole
skins. The locomotive struck the con-
structi on train sideways, twisting into
debris half dozen fatcars, one of which
was lifted completely over the passenger
engine, taking in its flight the smoke
stack, sand chest, bell and other fixtures.
Beyond the damage to property and the
delay OF the Santa Ana train until nearly
midnight there were no bad results, for
the passengers escaped with slight
shaking up. The blame of the
affair is laid on those in charge of the
construction train, which should have
been taken off the track at least five
minutes before the schedule time of any
regular train. Considering that it was
fated that an accident was to happen, it
was rather lucky that it occurred as did it;
for had the passenger been able to get
by the work train it would have run off
an open switch which had been thrown
and not replaced.

SANTA MONICA WHARF.

Nearly One-Half of the Money AL
ready Promised.
The citizens of Santa Monica have had
another meeting about their big wharf,
and the reports showed that between
$22, 900 and $29, 900 Of the necessary $780,
600 has been promised. Mr.. w. I. Spill
man, who came up from the ocean city
yesterday, gave to HERALD man during
the course of the afternoon some informa-
ton regarding the proposed work. The
pier is to be 1000 feet long, and
this will give it twenty-four feet ol
deep water at Tow tide, sufficient
to enable the approach of any
vessels engaged in the Coast trade. Its
location has not yet been permanently
decided, as there are several PROPOSE
,tions on foot. One is to place it by the

burglars Convicted.

John Riley and James Drew were
tried yesterday before Judge Mckinley
on charge of burglary. The evidence
showed that on February 25th they en-
tered o. T. Johnson's residence for the
purpose OF stealing. They were caught
and lodged in jail, and the jury yester-
day, after hearing the evidence, found
them guilty. They will be sentenced on
Monday.
John Higgins Withdrew his plea of
not guilty of burglary in Judge Cheney 3
Court yesterday morning and pleaded
guilty. He had burglarized room, and
taken therefrom pair of pants. He will
be sentenced on Monday.

MRS. DUVALL'S PLANT.
She Thinks She Was Not Treated
Right by Chief Burns.

Right by Chief Burns.
Mrs Clara M. Duvall has addressed a
letter to the Herald, in which she alleges
that she has not been treated exactly
right She was an applicant for the po-
sition of Police Matron, and says in her
letter: 'I called with my husband on
Mayor Hazard and stated my intention
to apply for this place. He seemed to be
in my favor from his words and actions.
Never having seen him before, the talk
was short, brief and to the point, he
suggesting that see Chief Burns. did
SO told him of the fact of having talked
with the Mayor. That seemed to be
great thing in the estimation Of the Chief,
who said, the Mayor is o. K. in all
things Said he, go on and get your Pc
tition and bring it to me, and will pre-
sent it to the board, and you will be
treated fairly My petition was numer-
ously signed, by members of the
County Board Of Supervisors, the
County Clerk, and such men
as General E. E. Hewitt. After giving
the petition to Mr.. Burns and waiting
day or so, went to work and succeeded
in having signed another petition
as first-askipg for my appointment.
When 1 saw Mr.. Burns he said, You
will not get that place. Investigations
are against you.' Said I, How, in what
way?' Said he, Cant tell you. The
Board knows as reported to them. Go
to them. This l did, and Messrs. Bid.
errain, Furrey, Lindley, and all pledged
their words that Chief Burns had not
reported one word, nor no one else
against me. They, the Board, assured
me of this. / went to Mr.. Burns, and
told him he was simply desirous of ap-
pointing some of his lady friends" The
Communication closes by scoring Chief
Burns rather heavily for his alleged
action in the matter.

from the end Of Railroad avenue an
other to have it at the foot OF Front

to have it at the end Of the South Santa
Monica sandhills. The public sentiment
seems, however, to be in favor of having

that is where it will doubtless be.
