w Er SAILING.
Eastern Yacht club Regatta sailed
I'm a Kain storm.

MARBLEHEAD, Mass, July 15.-The
annual regatta of the Eastern Yacht
Club was sailed today, from start to
finish, in northeast rainstorm. The
start was made at IL :45 a. m. Schooners
and cutters of the Fl icst, second and fifth
classes were to have sailed over dis
tsnce of thirty-six and three-fourths
miles, with one turn.
The frst.class got away in the follow
ing order: Fortuna, May flower, Sea Fox
and Merlin. The Fortuna had good
lead, tine Msyf1ower being a good second.
The Merlin ,one of Burgess latest designs,
showed remarkable speed, and, soon
after crossing the line, passed the Sea
Fox and Mayfower and closely followed
the Fortuna. On board the Merlin was
Mr.. Edward Burgess and an eager crew.
The For una did not hold her lead long,
as the Merlin gradually overhauled her
and was soon in the lead. After running
out about twenty minutes and finding nc
stake boat, Mr.. Burgess concluded that
no boat had been put in position, 30 the
Merlin was Immediately put about and
beat home, as did all the others.
The econd class, which sailed over
the same course, followed the Merlin,
and, as a result, the race was declared
off and will be sailed by the first and
second class boats tomorrow.
In the fourth class the Clara had a
walk over. In the fifth class there was
no finish.
Next in order came the forty-footers,
of which the Gorilla was the first to get
away, with the Verena close at her heels,
followed by the Pappoose, Minerva,
Chiquita and Alice. The Verena
rounded at 1858 :33, the Chiquita
second, Minerva third, Alice fourth,
Peppoose fifth and Gorilla bringing up
the rear. Soon after rounding the buoy
The Minerva passed both the Chiquita
and Verena and rapidly left the whole
fleet astern, coming to the finish line the
winner.
In the special class, the Saracen, Kath-
leen, Beetle, Evelyn and Harbinger con-
tested. The Kathleen was first to get
away, leading the Saracen, but the latter
soon went to the front and when the
outer mark was turned both the saracen
and Hsrbinger led the New orker, the
Beetle and Evelyn bringing up the rear.

murder, And, by the way, the Cronin

murder. And, by the way, the Cronin
case is not an exception in this respect.
To charge any person with any crime on
the worthless oath of any worthless
villain, is enough to convict the best
man in the community 30 far as the
minds of police, constables, detec-
tives and prosecuting attorneys go.
There are, of course, most dis
tinguished exceptions to this rule !;
but all the same that is the rule. Very
properly people with calm minds and
clear insight into things are very slow
in granting writs and signing papers on
such representations. Very fortunately
for many of US, Governors and Judges
rise grade above the average detective
or other limbs of the law, who are all too
ready to Judge every man guilty against
whom any one gives a mere "pointer." "

Fatefui Flames.

DENVER, Colo, July ia Salt Lake
City special says: Mrs. Terry attempted
to light the fire this morning with coal
oil. An explosion occurred, and the
burning oil caused the death of herself
and thirteen-year-old daughter.
A Pueblo, Colo, telegram says: Fire
this morning destroyed f. Q. Tafts' dry

suranoe about 100000 The fire is sup
posed to have been started by robbers.

lodging house, burned this morning.
Several adjoining buildings were slightly
damaged. The total loss is $1,000. The

Los Angeles daily herald., 1889-07-16

In THE Cronin case there comes in the
dispatches this morning an episode that
gives the key to the whole affair, SO far
as the authoriti es are concerned. Some
one writes to the prosecuting attorney
that Beggs knows all about the working
of the Clan-na-Gael. Beggs is arrested,
but nothing is proven against him. There
is not a shadow of reason for holding
the man. Yet he is kept in Jail and an
addle-pated detective goes to the man,
tells him he is condemned in the public
press, and in the minds of the people,
anyway, and tn at the best thing he can
do is turn States evidence and get free
Beggs replies that he tells nothing, for
the excellent reason that he has nothing
to tell. He declines to turn
States evidence for the simple
reason that he has no evidence to give.
The whole affair is conducted just like
this. The authorities, too thick headed
to ferret out an iota of fact in the case,
seize on all sorts of innocent people, and
try to get evidence of some sort against
some one. They do not care a snap
what sort of evidence they procure, nor
whom they convict. Anything to make Q
out case. Yet these fellows want all
sorts of acquisitions and legal processes
issued against many innocent men
whom they have vague tus-
picion know something of the

Lynching-Several Drownings.
EMPIRE Cry, Ore, July 15.-Easter--
hover, tenant of John Gilman, on his
farm near Coqnille City, returning from
his weeks work yesterday evening, was
waylaid and attacked by John Gilman,
near his home, but succeeded
in making his escape and gave the
alarm. A large party from Coquille
City was Immediately organized and re-
turned to the farm, where they finally
found the bodies OF Easterhover's wife
and child, who had been MUIR
dered, and the bodies buried near
the house, and ready made
grave for the husband was also found.
Gilman and wife were Immediately ar
rested, and circumstances point conclu-
sively to their guilt. Gilman wanted
them to leave, which they refused to do
until their lease had expired. There is
great excitement and fears of lynching
tonight.
DROWNING AND OTHER CASUALTIES.
GRANTS PASS, Ore, July 15.-Two

Orange Culture.

The orange-growers of Southern Call
fornia have, during the past few years,
encountered no email difficulty in the
scale pests that have infested the trees
Yet the returns received from the rail-
roads show that during the past year
more of this fruit was marketed from
the section than in any one previous year.
The Southern Pacific railway reports the
handling of 2,022 carloads of oranges, Of
10000 pounds, or ten tons each,
during the past season. Of these
I,105 carloads were taken to
the East, and 917 carloads were sent
to Coast points. But 2,022 carloads
went out of this section by this road.
The number of carloads actually ham
died was somewhat less, but some of the
cars carry as much az 10000 pounds.
The Santa Fe system reports the
handling of 1872 cars, actual count.
Many of them we're turned over to the
other road at common points in this
section, and these appear in the Southern
Pacific Company's exhibit above.
The number of carloads of 10000
pounds taken East by the Santa Fe was
probably 925 carloads. Adding this to the
report of the Southern Pacific, the total
number of carloads sent out of the
section is, therefore, 2,947. The largest
shipm ents before made aggregated only
shout 1900 carloads. The increase here
shown is about 331s per cent. The car
loads as outlined above carry about
800 boxes, little more rather
than a little less. This gives
us in the neighborhood of 900, 900
boxes of oranges. The prices to the
growers, on the tree, have averaged
more than 50 box. At So a box the
aggregate income to the section from the
orange crop is close to 100000. In
reality it probably brought that much
money to the growers. Oranges last
season paid those who own the groves
from 500 an acre for poorly cared for
seedlings, to Sc for we'll culti-
waited budded fruit. In many
cases the results were higher.
Ths planting of orange trees during
the current year proves bow we'll satis-
fed the people are with this industry
Single settlements have set out as many
as 10000, $4,000, and even 100,0 900 trees
The total would not be included in a
round million. A large proportion of
these trees came from Florida, as our
own nurserymen had let their nurseries
fall into neglect. But this is to be
amended in the future. This past spring
nurserymen in this section have, in many
instances, planted seeds for million
trees.
People have learned not to succumb to
difficulties in the development of our
industries. Oranges pay too royal
profits to allow the scale-bug to drive us
from so rich field. What is needed is
smaller groves, more diligent care and
special attention paid daily to each tree.

Los ANGELES is likely to encounter no
end of opposition in her attempts to
reach the sea with her outfall sewer.
Yesterday the Ballona Habor people
came before the City Council with pro
test against taking the offal CT so large a
city to that point. Santa Monica has
already expressed her views on this
subject. The City Engineer has put
himself on record to the effect that when
the sewage reaches the sea 1t
will have been cleaned OF all objection
able features by means of an elaborate
system of filtration. He would have the
dwellers by the seaside believe there is
no offense. But like Hamlet to Horatio,
these people insist there will be, and
much offense. 1t will behoove the
authorities to move with great wisdom
in this matter. The sewer must reach
the sea at some point. There is no other
plan that will do. AS it is now with q
city of one fourth the population we
shall have by and by, and
with less than one.half the pres
ent population supplied with sewer
facilities, it is difficult to dispose OF the
sewage, being run into the outfall sewer
now in use. During the rainy season
Many complaints come up from Vernon
that the waste from the city is nuis
ance there. How will it be when the
city shall have 10000 people within bel
gates, and when all its area shall be
drained of its waste by perfec
system of sewers? The sea mus
be reached. We all know what the
laws delay means when condemnation
suits are begun in this State. The
Council is confronted with difficulty
out of which it will require wisdom tc
lead the city.
