NEW BLOCKS.
A City That is Growing at a Rapid
Rate.


Yesterday a HERALD man met one of
the citizens of Los Angeles who is as in.
timately connected as any with building
projects, and asked him if he knew OF
much in the way of plans for building in
the future. He replied that if he could
take time to refer to letters, notes and
memoranda he could show quarter of
hundred such projects. In five min
utes, by mere mental effort, he said /:
There is the Perret building, corner
Spring and Third, the Mclaughlin
block on Los Angeles street, the
big convent on Pico Heights,
fine residence for Mr.. Morton,
the architect, another for Mr.. Cum
mings, of Boyle Heights, the school of
the Sisters of Charity on Boyle Heights,
to cost $3.50, 600, and the Garvey block
on the corner of Ninths and Spring.
That is pretty good for new plans for dull
times. Then there is movement on
foot to put up the finest building yet con-
tenn plated in the city on Spring street,
between Fifth and Sixth.

The crops in this section this year are
abnormally fine. The fruit crop in many
districts will be more carefully put up
than ever before. 1t is expected that
there will be 200 cars of canned goods to
send East from Southern California.
There will probably be 900 cars of beans
to ship, while of wool, vegetable pota-
toes, barley and wheat there are no data
at hand on which to base an estimate as
to amounts. But there will be large
bulk of all these to handle. The rail-

take all the stuff out at low rates. An
effort will be made to take all the surplus

A Romantic Wedding.

Over thirty years ago George P. Andrews, Yale student in the class of '56, fell in love with Miss Catherine M. Garrison, daughter of Commodore Garrison. She was studying at the time in girls school in New Haven. Mrs. Garrison opposed the match and the courtship was cut off-Miss Garrison soon after becoming Mrs. Barrett H. Van Auksn of New York, and in time the mother of three children, two daughters and . son. A fsw years ago Mrs. Van Auken was divorced from her husband, who had become lu- natis.
 Nr. Andrews devoted himself after gradu- ation to the study of law. He has been very successful and five years ago was elevated to the bench of tho Supreme court of this State. He has maintained intimate relations with the Garrison family and of late years has been the legal adviser of Mrs. Van Auken, managing all her property during the time that she has been practically widowed. He has always remained bachelor and no one gave him credit of harboring any thoughts of matrimony.
 On Wednesday, however, he surprised so- ciety by marrying the old love of his college days, as reported by cable in Thursday's pa pers. The wedding took place in London, all tho children of Mrs. Van Auken being present. The news reached New York in 8 cablsgram to Judge Andrews' old partner, William N. Armstrong. The happy couple are expected in that city September 1.

THE pue PILLARS ARE NO moRE.

THE DIG PILLARS ARE NO uAOhsh' The South Colonnade and Columns or
 she ola state House Fall Heiofo .
 Vast CrOwd-A Mlgh ty Fall. .
 Yesterday afternoon saw another big crash at the State House. The six massive pillars of the south portico were toppled over as ouarter to four o'clock. The Green was fll- cd with spectators. Chapel street opposite was crowded with the waiting sight-seers. The windows of stores and bull dings about the Green where @ good view could be ob. tained of the venerable ruin were filled with ladies who were eager to see the great fall. The New Haven Hause balcony was crowded during the greater part of the day. Carriages stood in the streets and everyone seemed to take interest in the falling of the big giants. It was expected that the pillars would be thrown over at noon. Contractor Montgom- cry and House-Mover Holmes were busily at work all through the morning with gang of workmsn. At noon, however. they found that they would be unable to tumble the big masses till or o'clock at the earliest. This disappointed the large crowd, but most of them nevertheless stayed to see the end.
 The arrangements for doing the work were somewhat more elaborate than those by which the pillars of the north portico were pulled down. Several jack screws were placed under the roof behind the colonnade, and by these the mass was gradually pushed from It's solid foundation. At the same time the tackle of ropes and anchor chains was be- ing strained to it's utmost in pulling at the biK columns. Boss Mason William E. Duffy superintended the removal of Q number of bricks from the base of the pillars so that they might fall more easily. While doing this 1t was noticed that some of the pillars settled as much as four inches and the work was not unattended with danger, but every precaution was used.
 Just before the big fall the crowd num- bered fully 4,000. Several amateur photog- raphers were there with their cameras to take view of the mass as it fell. About hall. past 8 o'clock the machinery began to tighten, the blocks squeaked and cracked and the massive columns tottered and shook. At seventeen minutes to the heavy colon made swung from It's hold upon the structure, trembled a moment in suspense and fell upon the wreck of the pillars with 8 thun-

Contagious Diseases.
CONNECTICUT STATE BOARD OF HEALTH, NEW HAVEN, CONN, August, 1889.

NEW HAVEN, CONN, August, 1889. ]
 To PHYSICIANS:
 The State board of health believes 1t to be matter of prime importance to impress upon the public mind the best established truths relating to the causes of sickness. This is particularly desirable in regard to the way in which contagious and infectious diseases arc communicated. Nothing can be more impressive than illustrative facts, they at tract the attention, and are more convincing than theories and arguments.
 The State board desires to accumulate well authenticated instances of outbreaks of any of the infections diseases where the cause of the outbreak can be distinctly traced to ex- posture to Infected persons, infected articles or infected places, or infected water, milk or ether food.
 Instances where typhoid fever, scarlet fevsr, measles, diphtheria, smallpox or other infections can be fairly attributed to fomites, are particularly instructive and establish the great importance of thorough and complete disinfection in all cases of the occurrence of communicable diseases.
 The importance of isolation of the sick and disinfection of whatever may be Q means of transmission of the disease is O matter upon which the general public are but ill-informed. It is not sufficiently appreciated in the popu- lar mind that the infective principle proceed ing from sick person can be destroyed by means that are well known. That if in every case of contagious disease these means are em- ployed the disease connot spread. That when even ap infectious disease does extend from sick person to others, the means of disin- lection have not been effectively used. In words the disinfection is the fundamental principle upon which the spread of infec. tious diseases may be prevented. That to be successful it must be thorough and complete, and that if thorough and complete, it always will be successful. Disinfection means de- struction of the infection.
 The restriction of contagious diseases is chiefly by three agencies, viz: Notification, isolation and disinfection, these three, but the greatest of these is disinfection. The strongest indirect disinfeotant Is clean Illness, and all that 1t implies.
 The State board will be pleased to receive, through its secretary. concise and plain rs- ports of instances which may have occurred in your experience Illustrating any of the modes in which infection is actually spread from the sink to the well.
 Such reports as the board deem advisable to publish will appear over your name, al- though, of course, the names of the persons to whom they relate will not be published. Per order of the board.
