DR.. Parrish, of Vandalia, told me
last night about a scarlet-fever
scare that once existed at Nandalia.
There was only one case in town."
said the doctor; "and as 500 as we
learned of its presence, we quaran-
tined the house. As result, not
another cas- appeared in the town.
The idea occurred to me that if we
have two or three cases Of the fever
in Mexico, would it not be a good
plan to quarantine the houses in
which the disease is known to ex.
list? | think it outrageous that
persons who visit the sick chamber
where a scarlet-fever patient lies
are allowed to go among the chill
dren at Sunday school and in Other
public places. This is what causes
epidemics and I,think it is time tt
call a halt.
The Water-works company ha:
once signi6ed that it will not &C
cept from the city an annual watel
rental of 50, 500, intimating at the
same time that a proposition t.
pay $1,000 would be desirable. A
the last meeting of the City Coun
ell, the conclusion that a 5000
proposition would not be ratified
by the voters of the city was ar
rived at, and City Attorney Bryan
was instructed to communicate
with the bondhelders Of tn
Water-works, making a writer
proposition of $500 yearly
There has been no answe to thi
offer, but, in all probability, tn
Water-wsrks folks will renew thei
refusal.

Preparations for Camp-The L dies
Fair.


Fair.
All the veterans in this city who can
possibly arrange to go to Camp Burnside,
are busy making preparations for their
departure. Although the camp will not
be formally opened until Friday, August
9th, great many of the comrades with
their families and friends have already
gone to San Pedro, and taken up their
quarters on the cam ping ground. The
main body of the veterans will leave
this city on Thursday next.
The ladies have taken a great interest
in the coming encampment. and are put
ting forth every effort to make it a suc-
cess. They have designed and are now
having printed very pretty souvenir in
the shape of silk badge on which is in
scribed the name and date of the en-
campment. These badges will be sold
to members of the G. A. R. and Woman's
Relief Corps.
Committees of ladies from each of the
four Relief Corps met yesterday afternoon
and decided to hold the annual fair Of
the corps in the G. A. R. Hall on Spring
street. The date has not yet been de.
cided upon, but the last week in No.
vember will most probably be selected.
At the next meeting, which is to be held
Wednesday afternoon, August 21st, the
officers and Executive Committee for
the ensuing year will be elected, and the
arrangements for the fair will be taken
in hand by them.

THE CITY'S NEWS.
CONTINUATION OF THE CABLE

The East Side Board of Trade met last
evening in Campbell's Hall, on the cor
ner of Downey avenue and Truman
streets, with President Meemer in the
chair.
The Sewer Committee reported that
Councilman Shafer was IN favor of sew
ering that part Of Downey avenue from
Truman street to the river, but he was
opposed TO putting in sewer between
Pritchard and Truman streets, inasmuch
as it would interfere with the system
already laid out.
A motion was made that a committee
be appointed to draft a petition to the
Council in regard to the Downeya avenue
sewer. President Mesf mer was ap.
pointed committee OF one to appear
before the Council and endeavor to get
that body to take some action in the
matter.
Mr.. Messmer showed from statistics
that the city administration is costing
21 61-100 per cent. more for the year
1889 than it did for 1888, and that the
expenses of the city for the month of
May were So 900 in excess of the expend-
itures of the corresponding month of last
year.
On motion Messrs. Yocum and Han
ley were appointed Committee Of Ways
and Means to collect money for the
proper celebration of the opening of the
cable road to the East Side, and the
com mittee were instructed to confer with
the committee appointed by the Cham
Der Of Commerce in the matter.

THE SURE SHOT.
Frank II. Rose on Trial for DefKaud-
Ing j. Ii. Hasktns.


The lawyers yesterday got fairly into
the trial of Frank E. Rose, the handsome
sport charged with robbing Hon. J. B.
Haslins, of New York, about year ago,
by means of bunco outfit.
The case was begun on Monday, but
Roses attorneys put in fourteen objec-
tions to the admission of the testimony
given by Haskins in the lower court. The
first of these was that the return Of one
Sheriff was not enough to establish the
fact that Haskins was out of the State.
The last was that Rose had not been
present in the court during the entire ex-
animation of Haskins in the lower court.
One after another of the legal objections
were brushed aside by the District At
torney, and yesterday afternoon the tes-
timony of Haskins was read to the Jury.
The story is briefly this. Hasklns,
who is an ex-Congressman from New
York district and thorough man OF the
world, but in poor health and now old,
came here on visit. He put up at the
Nadeau, where, after q day or two, he
was accosted by young man who rep
resented that he was j. l.. James, Jr.,
son of ex-Postmaster General James, an
intimate friend of Haskins. The young
man also said he was SON
in-law of Postmaster Pearson, OF New
York, another friend OF Haskins. Later
on this young man proposed to Haskins
to go to his room in the building on Main
street, between First and Second, where
the Palace Crockery Store is. He said
he had book which he wanted to make
bim present of. Haskins went, and
the stranger demanded of another man
who was in the room the book, but this
one said an accident had happened 70 il,
and II had been sent to be rebound. This

The Tennis Tourm u ment.

Much to the qualification of all lovers
of the sport, the Tournament Committee
has decided to have the "mixed doubles"
event replaced on the card. Los Ange-
les, Pasadena, Riverside and Santa
Monica will each enter from one to four
couples for that event, and some OF the
contests will be we'll worth seeing. Two
elegant emblematical cups will be pre-
sented by the ts-Lyons Arms Co., as
permanent trophies to be contended for,
one of the conditions being that the
members of each team shall belong to
the same Association Club. Entries for
the first event, gentlemen's singles, will
close at the Hotel Ar cadia on Saturday,
August 18th, at p. m. Secretaries of
clubs will please forward their lists of
such entries to the Association Secretary
prior to that time, accompanied with
entry fee of fifty cents each.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1889-08-07

second stranger stood by table on
which was cloth covered with numbers,
and on this lay pack OF numbered
cards. Haskins did not know what the
outfit was, but it was in reality the regu-
lation "sure shot" bunco layout. The
person who was in the room said he was
about to draw for a prize, ,andasked Haskins
to do the act IN his place "as a mascot"
to give him luck. A third stranger was
called in, who acted as dealer, and the
play began. HRskins was told he had
won prize, and the personssfor whom he
was drawing urged him to play again as
he was lucky, and promising to give him
half of all he won. Thus the old man
was led on from step to step until he had
put up $120 to $3.50 in cash and checks to
the amount of nearly 1000, he being as
sured at each step that it was mere for
mality, and he could not lose cent, as
all his stuff would be returned to him.
At last he was declared the loser of all
his doodle" and when he demanded it
hack he was told he had lost and
could not get anything back.
The young man who said
he was James begged Haskins not to say
word about it SIS, if the story of his
gambling reached New York, it would
be his ruin. Haskins, at last, got out OF
the room and then went to the telegraph
office, whence he sent dispatch to New
York stopping the payment of the
checks. He then returned to the Ma
deau, where he told his story and, on
the advice of the proprietors, he sent for
police officer, to whom he repeated bis
tale. By his side at the hotel desk,
while he told what had befallen him,
stood Rose, who pretended to be looking
over the hotel register. The officer
worked up the case, and arrested Rose
and a man named Hood, who was also
known as sport. Hood was the fellow
who said he was James, and Rose was
the man who wanted the mascot. The
dealer never was found, and Hood
jumped his bail and is gone.
Rose attempted to run away when the
officer arrested him, and as he ran he
threw away bit OF paper, on which was
written a copy of the message Haskins
had sent to New York. He tried to get
Officer Glass, who is now the Chief of
Police, to destroy it, but the officer held
it, 1t is said to be in the identical hand
writing of the man who kept a sort of
tally. book found in the room in the
Palace building. The room was Roses,
and the writing in the book he admitted
to be his. This is how he is fully identi-
fed in the case.
Haskins' testimony is the bulk of the
evidence against Rose, and what the de-
tense will do, now that this is admitted,
is not clear. The case is on trial before
a very intelligent Jury in the main.

THE CABLE COMPANY.
1t Attacks Several New Lines I
Work.

1t Attacks Several New Lines of
Work.
The Los Angeles Gable Company are
pushing work on the various extensions
of the road with the same vigor which
has always characterized their operations.
The Grand avenue branch is fast near
ing completion, and will, from all indi-
cations, be started up in about month.
The rope for this branch was received
yesterday. 1t was made by the Hazard
Manufacturing Company, of Wilkes
barre, Pa, is $4,000 feet long and
weighs about "a 900 pounds. There be-
ing no one truck in the city capable of
withstanding such an enormous weight,
two of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa
Fe Transfer Co. g trucks we're called into
requisition. The rope was wound on two
large reels, which were placed on the
trucks, and four of the most powerful
horses in the city were harnessed to each
truck, and the cable drawn to the power
house at Seventh street and Grand
avenue.
While all this work is going on for the
benefit of the residents of the southwest
ern portion OF the city, the East Siders
are receiving good share of the COM
pany's attention. A large gang of men
are at work at the junction of Upper
Main and Alameda streets making exca-
vations and putting in the concrete
foundations for the viaduct across the
Southern Pacific tracks. Portions of the
viaduct are now ON the way to this city
and the balance will he shipped in a
short time. Gottlieb & Co., of Chicago,
are under contract to have the viaduct in
place and ready for traffi cby September
lst, but there have been some slight de-
lays and the company do not expect to
have it ready before the middle of Sep
tember.
The viaduct is to be built entirely of
iron, and will be l 1,535 feet long and 26
feet above street grade at the highest
point. The structure will be supported
by single iron columns resting on con-
crete foundations, and will be the first
viaduct constructed in which double
track road is supported by single col
umns.
The Boyle Heights Board of Trade met
last evening in regular session, and
passed resolution thanking Caterer j.
A. Brown for his care and attention to
the wants Of the $500 people who we're
fed at the barbecue.
A vote of thanks WAS also rendered the
employees of the cable company for the
kindness and courtesy shown by them to
the 5000 passengers carried on the open
ing day.

A YOikless Egg.

A colored bootblack by the name OF
William Howard, whose stand is located
on Seventh street near the Arcadia de-
pot, found strange freak the other day
in the shape OF an egg without any yelk.
His landlady usually cooks his breakfast
for him, and she gave him several hard
boiled eggs. Opening one of these, he
was astonished to find that it was white
all the way through, without the trace OF
a yolk. He showed it to number of
people living in that vicinity, and also to
a representative of this paper who hap
pened to be passing. Such freaks are
said to be rare, but they are known to
occur.
