"Shoviug the Queer"

1t looks as if The good people of Wood
land were not favorably impressed with q
certain element of humanity that went
there from Sacramento with the picnic on
Sunday. The Nal of yesterday says that
on that occasion q swindler from this city
succeeded in victimizing several people
with counterfeit coins. He had a number
of bogus French 100 franc pieces, and these
he passed as $50 pieces. He was a very
suave fellow, and with a smiling face and
obsequious air he would approach a crowd
made mellow with beer, and ask if anyone
could break a $50 piece. OF course some
kindly disposed person could and would,
and the man was just SO much ahead. One
of the suckers was from Sacramento. As
soon as he discovered he had been swindled
he passed it off on a friend, and now they
don't speak. The swindler was a man
about fifty years old, had a brown beard
and was a fine looking man."

FEANY's NEME.rs.
Somebody Continues Writing Threaten
ing Letters to Miss weizsi.

SomeDady Confinues Writing Threaten
ing Letters to Miss welzsi.
Yesterday morning Miss Feany Weizel
called at the Police Station in an uneasy
frame of mind and showed Chief Lee a
letter which she had just received, ad-
dressed to herself. The stamp was not
cancelled, nor was there any postmark on
it. Upon opening the missile she found
printed on g piece Of paper a skull with
a cross on one side and by the side of the
cross the word, Beware written in ink.
Under the skull were the printed words,
=" White Cap Rendezvous This myster-
ious letter has occasioned no.little uneasi-
ness in Miss Weizel's mind, as she hiss
been threatened in many different ways in
theipast. The police will.use all endeavors
10 find the party guilty OF this last act of
intimidation.
1t will be remember that Miss Weizel
shot and killed Jacob Klein a couple of
years ago for having betrayed and then re-
fusing 10 marry her, and was acquitted of q
charge of murder. The supposition is that
these threats of harm to her have emanated
from some friend of the deceased, and that
they have been intended merely to frighten
and annoy her.

Delie htful May Weather.

The highest and lowest Signal Service
temperature yesterday, was $50 and 51o,
with fresh southerly winds prevailing. The
highest and lowest for the corresponding
date last year was CSC and 4So, with fresh
southerly winds and a cloudy sky. The
weather yesterday was certainly all that
the most exacting person could wish for
or desire, and it is to be hoped that a long
continuation of the same may be in store
for our people. The temperature yesterday
was lac warmer than one year ago.

ASIUSEMENTS.

Booth and Barrett are under engagement
the engagement in San Francisco has been
shortened, and that they will not appear
in Sacramento, owing to the ill-health of
both. The local management says it has
had no notice of the change. 1t has been
learned that all other interior engagements
have been cancelled, but that for Sacra-
mento has not as yet. As the troupe re-
turns East by the Central Pacific route. 1t
still expects that a stop-over will be mace
here.
At the Opera House last evening the
Harry Williams Variety Company APP
peared. It gave a varied performance, but
of an ordinary character, except in the
fourth number, which introduced Kalkssa,
| q juggler. equilibrist and top spinner, who
is a very superior performer. The Horse
| shoe Four" is about as weak an attraction
as could be put on the stage, and belongs
TO the melcdecn along with the first num-
Der of the programme. The magic lantern
exhibition was indifferent, and the trick
v~iolinist of no merit. Smith and Lord,
the burlesque trapeze actors were novel in
their speciality and fairly amusing. Jack
Dempsey, the champion middle-weight OF
the world, gave a three-round exhibition
of boxing with gloves with Denny COST.
gan. Dempsey has fought fifty battles. lost
none and Is anxious to meet Mitchell. the

has secured Cannon, o local boxer, TO stand

rounds. The last performance of the

AFTERNOON SESSION.


Johnson resumed the cross-examination of
the witness. He said that when Billings
came TO the ranch on the day Of the tragedy
witness was near the house; thinks they
reached the barn at about the came time;
could not remember what was the first
thing said; think something was said about
wire, but could not say what 1t was; Bill
lings took some wire from his wagon and
laid il down. Witness then said to him
not to NEEDLE with anything on the place
until be had Settled with witness; some
thing was ssii by Billings about the lock
on the barn door; some n opened
the harm 6o5r; tle lock had been re-
moved, but don't know who die ii; there
were tools in the barn belonging to the
place; Billings said he had always run the
ranch, and always would; don't think he
first said he had come there for hay; he
had his hay wagon with him, n drove
up to the barn where the hay was: did not
want him to take anything, even his own
hay, because l wanted my pay, and wanted
something for security my son had con
suited q lawyer, and the latter advised Us
not to let Billings take anything from the
place; when witness had his hands on de-
PENDANTS shoulder, the ~latter's son was
standing on the wagon holding the horses I;
could not say where deceased was at that
time; think he followed me 10 the barn,
when Billings drove up; did not at
tempt to strike the defendant, but struck
young Billings with some kind of a
stick and partially knocked him over
the blow was about the shoulder
or neck; hit him but once with the
stick: before hearing the report of the pis-
toll saw my son lying oil the ground think
it was after ! had struck young Billings, but

DOWN WITH THE AUTOCRACY.
Another Rebellion Against Chief
POwderlY.

PHILADELPHIA, January GA circular
addressed to the Knights of Labor
throughout the country and signed by
James L. Wright, r. L. Keen, R. G..
McCauley and Joseph S. Kennedy is De-
ing issued. The signers style themselves
"The surviving members of the Secret
Order of Knights of Labor" and state
that after due deliberation they have
come to the conclusion that under the
present autocratic form OF government
the Order has departed from it's original
designs, to the destruction Of the princi.
pies of self-government lying at the
base of American institutions. Being
determined to return to the original text
OF the principles, the signers extend the
hand of fraternity to all who believe in
the principles formerly promulgated,
viz. secrecy, obedience, mutual assist
ance and the placing of industry on a
scientific basis. The signers have deter
mined to eliminate all opposition detri-
mental to the principles and progress of
the Knights OF Labor, as the founders
intended. The circular, it is stated, is
issued the press to notify those at dis
tance, and in answer to many letters
received on the subject. Numbers for
assemblies will be given from Philadel-
phia until sufficient number has been
formed to call joint convention for the
good of the order. Those desiring to be
with the movement will address Box 1874,
Philadelphia.

The variation in the rainfall in Cali
fornia is very marked in localities not
far removed. The precipitation in San
Francisco for the current season to date
is IL 96 inches; to the same date last
season it was 7.75 inches. In Oakland
ten miles distant across the bay, the
figures for 1888 to date are 5.7S against
8.28 q year ago. One could not look for
more than 100 per cent. increase in San
Francisco over Oakland, so near by
But what is stranger is that
while the rainfall in San Francisco is
much greater this season than it was at
even date last year, in Oakland the re-
verse is the case, the precipitation this
year being nearly three inches less than
last. Yet, still to show the utter un-
certainty of the pluvial visitations it is
remarkable that the last day of the last
storm gave San Francisco fall of II Of
an inch while Oakland registered .92 Of
an inch. One may take all parts of the
State and he will find comparisons foot
in just this way.

A Brilliant Future for Los Angeles.
The HERALD has many times set up
the claim that Los Angeles county is
capable of maintaining population of
million on the intrinsic merits of her re-
sources and the productiveness OF her
soils. The claim will appear very in
fated estimate to those who do not know
the data on which it lis based. The State
of Massachusetts has nearly twice the
gross area of Los Angeles county but the
old Bay State has only trife over ten
million acres of arabic area. We have
quite that much in this county. Massa"
chusetts has population of over mill
lion and three-quarters. She has the
fifth largest city in the Union within her
borders. Connecticut has about the
same area as the county of Los
Angeles. There is not 30 much
of the territory Of the Nutmeg State cap
able of cultivation as there is of the terri
tory of this county. The population of
Connecticut is three-quarterso of million,
and there are cities of So 900 to $4,000 in
that State. New Jersey has about the
same amount of cultivable soil as Los
Angeles County, and she has popula-
ton largely in excess of million. She
has several large cities. A similar COM
parison might be instituted between this
county and many other areas,
with the same favorable results for Los
Angeles. The doubling Thomas has
two objections on his tongues end. He
first alleges that it is manufactures
which bring about such fine results in
the east. What of it? We shall have
our own lines of manufactures devel-
oped here in due time. Then depend on
our own enterprise. Besides, We have
attractions Massachusetts and Connecti-
cut have not. An acre of our land is as
prolific as ten there. And our climate
will draw hither thousands of people
who have become rich elsewhere. There
is besides our mineral resources, our
petroleum wells and asphaltum deposits.
Last of all, Los Angeles must grow to
be a great city for the reason
that she has no competitor nearer
than San Francisco 500 miles away. She
is at one end of the shortest route across
the continent and will have great COM
merce in the future. The second objec-
ton raised by the doubter is that the
States taken for comparison have been in
course of development for three hundred
years. What of that? A year now is as
much as the first century after the arrival
of the Mayfower counted for. And a
year now is more than twenty after the
Revolutionary War. Things move in this
age of steam and steel. Boston has in
creased more than 100000 in the past
eight years. Baltimore has done the
same. Los Angeles nearly doubled in two
years. ~There are half million
foreign immigrants year pressing in
here. They crowd that many people
westward out Of the old States. Here is
the strongest magnet in the land tc
draw people, and when they get here
they become anchored.
