THE LIBERATI CONCERTS.
Tonight at the New Los Angeles
Theater.

The Liberati concerts will open tonight
at the New Los Angeles. The Quebec
Chronicle says of this combination:
1t is probable that no greater treat OF
the kind was ever enjoyed by Quebecers
than that accorded last night at the
Academy of Music by the performances
of Liberati and his really wonderful
band. 1t is a question which is most
worthy of admiration-the critical taste
responsible for the selection of the
pieces of so admirably balanced whole,
or the ability and labor displayed in
bringing the constituent elements of the
organization into so perfect an ensemble.
The merging process has been so
thoroughly followed up and all it's de-
tails so splendidly mastered, that the
fusion is perfect; and Signor Liberati
with a simple movement of his baton,
YIELDS SO completely into one harmo-
NOUS whole the immense variety of in
struments used by the band-pic-
colo, flute, oboes, clarionettis saxa-
phones, trombones, horns, drums,
ETC., that the fifty performers
composing it are as completely a unit in
point of united execution, as the organ
lst who manipulates alone and at one
and the same time his dulciana, vox-
humana, diapasons, flute, twelfth, fif-
teenth, cremona, hautboys, trum pets
and pedal pipes, as the case may be.
This, of course, is the acme OF perfection
in band, and it heE certainly been
reached by Signor Libefati and his fell
low performers. There was not poor
item on the programme last night.
Liberati was enthusiastically ap-
plauded at the rendering of his '"Con-
gress March," and deservedly SO. OF
his cornet playing it is difficult indeed
to know what to say that has not al
ready been said, over and over again.
He is genius of course, and genius is
born. But he has attained technique
and finish in his execution that could
only have been achieved at the cost
of tremendous work, and enormous prac-
tice must have been necessary to enable
him to effect those delicate shadings of
tone that evoke so much enthusiasm
from all his audiences. Last night he
was literally covered with applause and
encored over and over again, the Ma
zurka being about the most taking item
that we have yet heard from him.
We must not forget notice of the
grand fantasia on Robert Bruce, by the
band, introducing number of popular
airs and creating a decided furore. An
encore was insisted upon. In fact every
item OF the programme was encored, and
that, too, by very critical audience.

HIS CHARACTER.
WITNESSES WHO SAY THAT HON.
JIM USED TO BE GOOD.
Hervey Lindley Says He Loaned the PEN
man Fifty Dollars-But He Had No
Authority to Sign the Whittier Mans
Name.

The trial of the Hon. James M. Dam
ron, who is charged with forgery, was
resumed yesterday at 10 O'Clock, before
Judge Cheney. The first witness was
Geo. M. Holton, ex-district attorney,
who testified that he had known the de-
fendant during the past eight years, and
that his reputation for truth and integ-
rity was good. He had never heard
that Damron had run away from Hi
nois, and had always heard him spoken
we'll of until the present charges were
made. Gen. E. p. johnson, N. G. c.,
said that he had known the defendant
five or six years. His reputation, until
the bringing of this charge, was good.
Hervey Lindley, recalled, said that
while in San Francisco last summer, he
had corresponded with the defendant.
He saw him in San Francisco at the
hotel, where Damron asked him to en-
dorse his note for $50. Witness an
swered that that was not necessary, as
he had the amount in his pocket and
handed it to defendant. Damron next
asked witness help to procure 5000 as
he might have need of it before his
return to Los Angeles, to which witness
answered favorably.
O. "Do YOU recollect if Damron said
that he might want to use your name,
and that you signified your assent?'
A. ~ could not positively say
whether he did or not"
The witness added that he had known
the defendant about five years, and up
to the time of these charges, his reputa-
tion had been good. For two years they
had had considerable business together
in connection with the Whittier Reform
school. On cross-examination, Mr..
Lindley denied ever having given Dam
ron authority to sign his name to
promissory note.
S. Garfield, attorney at law, and a
former law partner OF the defendant,
testified that in his opinion the Wright
signature was not in defendants hand
writing. w. f.. Dunn, deputy city at
torney, testified similarly.
A number of witnesses then gave the
defendant a good character up to the
up against him.
The defendant took the stand little
before noon and again in the afternoon.
He denied all criminal knowledge of the
forgery OF Wright's name, and said that
he did not even know that Wright's
name was on the note until few
minutes before his arrest. He admitted
that the loan was negotiated in his in
terest and that he obtained the money.
The tendency OF Damron's testimony is
to make it appear that Chadwick knew
who was the guilty party.
In rebuttal Chas. Bell of the Porcu-
pine and attorney Henning were put on
the stand to prove defendants bad char
acter.
The case will be argued today and
probably go to the jury.

designations.
The board of police commissioners
met in regular weekly session yesterday
afternoon in the mayors office, Hon. H.
T. Hazard in the chair, and Messrs. Col
Inns and Lewis present.
After the usual preliminaries had been
disposed of the report of the chief of
police for the month of October, ex-
tracts from which have already been
published in the HERALD, was received
and filed.
The chief reported that he had sus
pended Officer 7. M. Gilbert on the End
inst. for violation of rule rs OF the reg
ulations governing the department, and
that the officers resignation, to take
effect November 9Th, had been pre-
sented. Chief Glass further stated that
Gilbert now wished to withdraw his
resignation, and presented the following
communication from him in explanation
thereof:
To the Hon. Board of Police Commissioners of
the City of Los Angeles
GENTLEMEN-I did turn out in the
parade fully aware OF rule 26, by which
/ am suspended. The only defense
have W OllCI lOl yOul SOllSl0CIdtlOi 10 =.
First, l did not in any manner inter-
fere or make use Of the influence OF my
Office.
Second, was not on duty and did not
neglect my duty, but reported in due
time.
Third, But, as I considered, only ex-
ercised the rights and sufrages of a
citizen.
The loss of time will impose hard
ship upon me, which l feel that am
not deserving.
Hoping, gentlemen, that you will give
this a favorable consideration, l am,
respectfully, L. M. GILBERT.
On motion of Mr.. Lewis, the resigna-
tion of Officer Gilbert was accepted, it
being agreed that a violation of the rules
had been made.
The resignation of Officer J. r. Conlee,
to take effect November 7th, was re-
ceived and accepted.
communication was received from a
Mrs. L. Mcdowell, preferring charges
against Officer O'Reagan, in which she
alleged that he had slandered her by de-
nouncing her to her neighbors as an
"ould drunk and dead-beat." She claims
that this action on his part is caused by
an old grudge he has against her, for
having testified against him in a divorce
suit brought by his wife. AS the docu'
ment was not verified, no action was
taken thereon, except to return it to
Mrs. Mcdowell for verifcation.
The application of Merced Abbott for
transfer OF the license for saloon at
No. 410 North Main street, now in the
name of H. Vitalline, to herself, and the
protest of w. Ferguson ct al. against
that place, were laid over for one week.
A number of demands, amounting in
the aggregate to $500, were appro sed.
The application of A. O. Benson for a
position on the force was received and
placed on file.
After brief debate, the matter OF
filling the vacancies on the force was, on
motion of Mr.. Collins, passed over until
the next meeting.
The board then adjourned.

A BRICK.
Said to Have Been the Cause of an In

Said to Have Been the Cause of an In
fant's Death.
Coroner Weldon left for Lancaster on
the noon train yesterday, to investigate
the circumstances surrounding the death
OF the six-year-old child of Constable M.
ID. Grain, of that place, which occurred
on the Sd inst. At the inquest held by
Justice Liyesey upon the child's body,
it was developed that some three weeks
before its death the child had been
struck in the stomach by a brick, thrown
by a juvenile playmate, and was Sc
verely injured internally thereby. The
jury summoned by Justice Livesey,
however, returned verdict of death
from natural causes, and as the coroner
had not received any intimation of the
child's death until he received the Off
cial papers of the inquest, he deter
mined to investigate the matter for
himself.

terday.

terday.
County Recorder Francis. it is stated,
when he took office, agreed with his
bondsmen that he would appoint Mr..
Eric Barclay his deputy, for the purpose
of handling the funds of his Office. Mr..
Francis lately decided that Mr.. Barclay
was not conducive to his interests, and
discharged him. Accordingly, his bonds
men yesterday served the following no
tice on Chairman Perry of the board OF
supervisors
You are hereby notified that the un-
dersigned, constituting all of the sureties
on the official bond of John w. Francis,
county recorder of said Los Angeles
county, are bounden to the people OF the
state of California thereon and thereby,
in the sums as follows, to-wit: w. q.

II. Bonebrake, $4,000; Hervey Lindley,
$4,000; H. &. Otis, $4,000; T. ). Weldon,
$4,000; E. r. Alexander, $4,000; j. w.
Davis, $4,000; G. w. McKelvey, $2500 @.
w. Pendleton, $500; and that all of
said parties, bondsmen, are desirous of
being released from all liabilities which
may hereafter arise to them by reason Of
said undertaking.
THAT the reason why said parties de-
sire to be relieved from said obligation
is the fact that certain business
transaction between said John w. Fran
els and his said bondsmen has ter
minated unsatisfactory to the said
bondsmen."
Mr.. Francis explained the matter by
saying that it was because of Mr.. Bar
clay's dismissal; that the young gentle
man had been let out for cause, and
that he proposed to be the head of the
office as long as he held it. He stated
that several gentlemen had volunteered
to 60 on his bond, and he would have
no trouble in filing satisfactory one as
| soon as necessary.

The Templemans and Mrs. Marianne
Leonis have fallen out. Mrs. Leonis
lives in the house belonging to the es-
tate of her deceased brother, Miguel
Leonis, on Also street, and the Temple
mans are her neighbors. Mrs. Leonis
alleges that the Templemans have been
crossing and tIespassing upon her place
whenever they felt like it, and as she
did not like it, she locked her gate.
Yesterday when Templeman came home
in wagon he found the Leonis gate
closed. AS this did not suit his conve-
nience he forthwith proceeded to chop
it down with an axe. When Mrs. Leonis
interfered to protect the property, Mrs.
Templeman took hand in the fray and
smote her neighbor hard. Mrs. Leonis
thereupon caused Mrs. Templeman's
arrest on the charge of battery.

HE LOST THE TRAIL.
A Yankees Adventure in the New, Very
New, south.

The prevalent practice OF building
cities on paper, where more substantial
material is wanting, seems TO have
reached its height in csrtain locality
IN the South, which was recently visited
by a Maine man, who re.ates. in the
Lewiston (Me.) Journal, an amusing in
cident OF his trip.
The city" is at a famous railway
junction. and high expectations are en-
tertained Of its future greatness, es-
pecially by the original city COM
pany." On It's map may be seen mag
nifcent avenues intcrsected by broad
streets. with here and there spacious
parks, beautiful fountains. etc.
1t happened during his stay that the
man from Maine had occasion to go IN
search OF a person on dark night.
Being unfamiliar with the city he
was accompanied by one OF its original
fathers. With a lantern 70 throw light
on their path they started. After walk
ing a short distance the guide, with a
view communicating instruct zion as
we'll as agreeable information. stopped
IN the neighborhood Of group OF tower
ing pines. Swinging the lantern slowly
around. he said:
Here we are. stranger, right on Mag

Proceeding little way further, he re-
marked;
This is Broad street-an excel
lent tboroughfare for business purposes

which are fine sites for private resi-
dences"
The stranger began looking for these
sites, but owing % the darkness was un-
able 10 distinguish them. After STUN

stumps and other obstacles peculiar TO

guide again stopped and remarked with
