F. M. Garrett,s Statement.

EDITORS HERALD: l exceedingly
regret to read in your paper this
morning statements concerning N.Y.
self and family that are SO at
variance with the truth that It becomes
my duty to place before you the facts
and kindly ask you to make the correc-
tions. 1t is true ! placed my daughter
Malta in the hands Of Mrs. Watson, not
that she was ever suspicioned or accused
of not being virtuous, but as guard that
che would remain so. The letter
you are at liberty to publish its contents
at length and l am willing to stand or
fall by the opinion of just people.
1t is not true that had two sisters in
my house for immoral purposes they
having come to my house homeless and
motherless let them remain over night
and on the next day called on Mrs. Wat
son and asked her to take charge
of them, stating at the same
time it did not look we'll
tor me to keep them in my house, alone
as was. Mrs. Watson took them, as
requested, and the last heard of them
they were under her care, they having
remained with me one night before going
to Mrs. Watson's. Last December, while
living on Hill street, my time was wholly
occupied at the Office of Superintendent
OF Streets. My two daughters being al
home, my eldest daughter, Malta, made
requests on me that should get come
girl to remain in the house as company,
and about the 1st of February l took
Miss Nettie Keys to my house as one of
the family for company. She proved to
be q very acceptable companion and
company for my children, until some
time in March, when Mr.. Edgecomb
poisoned Miss Malta against Miss Nettie,
and also poisoned Miss Nettie against
Miss Malta. AS soon as l understood
that Mr.. Edgecomb was causing trouble,
L sent Miss Nettie home, and
made request that Edgecomb
cease Lis visits to my house.
While Miss Nettie was in my house she
occupied the same bed with my daughter,
while slept most of the time with my
little Ella. Miss Nettie returned home
as pure and virtuous as she came, and ii
is pleasure for me to say am satisfied
che was, and is yet, virtuous and
respectable lady, and was so treated
while under my roof and care.
Now for the young lady and the letter
that fell into Chief Burns hands. Hav-
ing been slightly acquainted with the
young lady referred to, who seemed to
be homeless and worthy, 1 told her,
when last at my house, that whenever
she was out Of work or really in need,
that when in my power would assist
her; further, any time when out Of
Los Angeles daily herald., 1889-07-21

work she was welcome at my house, as a
nome to 60 and come as she pleased. L
missed the young lady for some time,
when l received the letter herein cloeed*.
Whereupon l communicated to her that
she WAS welcome and that she could
come at her pleasure; that it was
unnecessary for me to meet her at the
depot, as she could take the cars and
come to the house. / demand the pro-
duction of the letter, that IL may no longer
remain O. secret, for such it never was in
tended. 1t is just such letter, with
just such intentions, as l pray some
kiBd-hearted person may write to my
children should they ever be placed in q
like condition as the young lady who has,
as believe, innocently of doing any one
wrong, caused this reply. The other
lady who is accused of being my mig
tress is in the city, and in due time will
more forcibly than can, explain mat
ters, she, too, having been a companion
of my daughter, at my daughters own
solicitation, and occupying the same
room and bed. There are other malicious
expressions contained in the article re-
ferred to, but the public will soon know
the truth, which will vindicate me,
unless they blame me for not committing
murder before this. Respectfully,
F. M. GARRETT.

have no superior. He will be supported
by a good dramatic company that in

The editor OF the Tiuckee Republi.
can is happy. His wife presented
him with a baby girl on the 9th in
slant, and this is the way in which he
greets the little stranger:
For some time past the editor Of
this journal has been pondcring over
the question OF how to get up IN
unique observance Of Admission Day.
Tho head OF the household could not
fix upon any suitable plan, but
woman's ingenuity came to tho rescue
just in the nick Of time. AT an early
hour Monday morning the editors
wife presented for admission into tho
family circle, a Native Daughter OF
the Golden West, weighing over nine
pounds. Tho new momber was Ill
mitted with JOY and Thanksgiving,
AMI the 9th day OF September had n
double significance in the editorial
household. Tho girl is probably 'he
best and incest one in tho world and
We write this in n purely unprejudiced
state OF mind. Still tho world seems
rather small alongside OF that baby
and we realize that the title Of papa
has nm ennobling and dignified effect.
All three Of us are getting along
splendidly.

How He Got The Name.

Many years ago when Gov. Samuel
Medary was proprietor OF the Ohio
Statesman, S. S. Cox was employed
in an editorial capacity on the pa
per. Ono evening Cox rushed into
the Office exclaiming:
"Govcrnor, 1 have II leader to write
for tho paper tonight, what shall L
write about?"
"Thoro's n beautiful sunset out
there" replied Medary, laconically.
The next day the tatesman ap-
pearcd with an ordinary column OF
leading matter. a nero ordinary
sunset story was written in u way
in which any schoolboy would have
been ashamed, and all Ohio laughed
ut this cbullution in tho columns OF the
Statesman.
Cox was universally known as tho
writer, and no was laughed mt by
every subscriber. 1t was then and
there that Sunset" Cox became
household words.

Terrible storm.
New York dispatch Of the 1911


A New York dispatch OF the 10Th
says:
The terrible storm in the East still
continues. The rage of the Atlantic
is still undated. a terrible gallo is
sweeping over the Coast and flashing
the waves into fury. From Cape Cod
to Cape Hatteras the shore is strewn
with wrecks and dead bodies, und the
angry waves are leaping up on the
shore destroying everything within
reach. Whole necSs Of land have
been swept away and many people
are flying from tAeir homes to places
OF safety. Mariners used TO the rage
OF the ocean are terrified and many
have lost their lives Sows have been
seen from the shore caiaSins 10 the
masts OF sinking vessels and no power
on earth could save them. The dead
bodies OF men have been seen tossed
about in the surf and could not Ire
rescued. Ram still continues TO fall
in torrents and it is extending west
ward 1t is the worst storm known
in many years, il ever, and it is feared
the end is not yet. No possible osti-
mate can bc made OF the damage done
thus far. People all along tho coast
are panic-stricken and the terrible
loss OF lilo which must follow is an
pallins.
A Philadelphia dispatch from Lau-
rol, Delaware, says tho storm is the
most furious over known. At least
two score OF vessels have been beached.
Tho beach from Rehboth to Lewis is
strown with stranded vessels. 1t is
thought ut least fifty lives have been
lost. Men were seen clinging to the
rigging Of tho fast-sinking vessels
frautically calling for help. Tho life
saving crew are powcrloss 10 render
assistance owing to the fury OF the
gale.
1t was q terrible sight to witness,
but no human powor could save them.
Their bodies werc washed ashore this
morning and were buried in The sand
along the water. The loss to vessel
property Mt Brcakwater will reach not
less than s5,O00,oG0.
Atlantic City is submerged. Ten
thousand permanent residents and
O than 10000 hotel guests arc
panic-stTicken u tthe steady encroach-
ments OF the sea and tho awful hurri-
cane prevailing. Not n train can
reach or leave tho city for fully n
week. Famine is threatened. There
is no milk, no vegetables, no meat, no
eggs, and ere another day dawns
there will DO nothing but bead and
water left. Luckily tho supply Of
flour is plentiful. The devastation
and ruin arc appalling, and the loss
OF life is as yet n matter Of conjec-
turc.
Reports from along tho Jersey
shore show wrecks everywhere, there
being sixteen between Barnogat light
and Sandy Hook.

An Omaha dispatch says:
General Manager Kemble, OF the
Union Pacific, was asked by Il corrcs-
pondent If there was any truth in the
report that his road proposed build
ing from Frisco, Utah, to n junction
with the Southern Pacific at Mohavc.
awe are thinking very strongly of
extending our Utah Central line fur
thcr south in order to tap the Phoebe
mining district" said he, "but we
will probably go south OF the direct
Inc from Frisco to Mohavc, and tho
extension will DO very gradual. I
don't know exactly how soon work
will commence. President Adams,
who has been making n detailed in
spoction Of tho road, will DO back

form definite plans. Our chief cncr-
GIGS, however, will be concentrated III
Oregon and Washington Territory,
and we will make Il great many miles

General Passenger Agent Lomax
