An Italian Horribly MangIed and
Crushed "a. Death In the Eureks
Con. Stag Dump.
A week ago yesterday an italian
named Giovanni di Pendrini went to
work, as had been his wont to do
taking out speiss and matte on his
own account from the Eureka Con.
dump. He had been warned several
times during the week by Chris.
Hildebrandt that the portion OF the
dump where he worked was in a
shaky and dangerous condition. He
was stout and fearless, but lacking
good judgment,Le-ws also reckless
and never thought Of danger in his
occu patton. Seldom If ever did he
take the precaution that an expert
enced or careful miner would have
done. Hence, he usually worked
alone; others had been afraid to work
with him. II must have been some
time between 3 and 5 o'clock in the
afternoon Of the day in question that
a part OF the dump caved on and
killed him. He was missed in the
evening at his usual haunts, and rs he
did not not appear at breakfast the fol-
lowing morning search was made and
he was found in the pit where he had
been occupied, with a mass OF iron and
Stag in huge broken Jumps covering
him. His body was entirely buried,
but q portion OF the flannel shirt he
wore was caught and exposed.
Hildebrandt had seer him at 3 o'clock
in the afternoon and an hour later saw

ing. When uncovered the unfortun-
ate man presented a horrible spectacle.
He was found in a hall STOPPING uosi-
ton, with his arms bent above his
head as if TO protect himself from the
caving material. His eyes were
glazed, his tongue protruded from his
mouth and the blood, which had
rushed to his head, had turned his
face to a deep red color. His clothes
we're torn and his limbs broken.
Death must have been almost in
Simultaneous. Last Saturday afternoon
Coroner HUI summoned a jury and
held an inquest over the body. The
verdict was in accordance with the
above facts. The deceased was aged
% or 80 years.

Mr.. H. S. CARR, the justice of the
peace at Cahuenga, called upon us yes
terday to say that he shipped tomatoes
to San Francisco as early as the 21st,
and got so cents pound for them. This
seems to have been an earlier shipment
than Mr.. Miller's, and better price
than the latter got. Mr.. Carr says that
the Cahuenga tomato crop is very short
this year, the tremendous rains of last
winter having killed great number of
vines. There will only be half crop of
peas and no early beans, but the late
beans are giving satisfactory harvest.
1t is not often that the early vegetable
crop of Cahuenga gets setback, and it
pays so well that such an accident once
in ten or twelve years ought not to
count. About every two or three years
something happens to western farmers
that leaves them cropless. This year
the entire peach crop of Delaware and
New JERSEY has failed.

STILL WORTH MONEY.
Southern California Land Cannot be
Bought for a Song.

Day before yesterday there was a sale
of a small bit of land at Altadena, a
couple of miles from the center of Pasa-
dena, that shows lands in this section
are still of value The bit of realty is
four and a half acres, and sold for 500 an
acre.
Baldridge, the nurseryman at Azusa,
has an orange orchard of eighty acres,
nearly all planted and bearing He has
recently refused $4,000 for it. He wants
to sell, he says, as he is growing old,
and the care Of so large an orchard is a
heavy burden but he does not want to
sell bad enough to let go at 81 200 an
acre. He says the property pays large
rate of interest on the price here named.
Mr. Barber, of the corner of Broadway
and First street, had 2O-acre tract at
Ontario, half planted in oranges. He
sold it three years ago to an eastern man
for SIS 900, $5 900 down and the balance
on time. The tenderfoot mistrusted his
own judgment, thought he had paid too
much for the land, and let it go back
rather than complete his purchase. In
due time the title was perfected in Mr..
Barber, who offered it for the 5000
the eastern man owed on it, and sold it
quickly for the price. The confidence of
the people is being re-established.

THE observance of Memorial day will
be general throughout the state and ma
ton today. A very interesting pro-
gramme of services has been arranged
by the Grand Army posts of this city,
and the soldiers graves in all the ceme-
teries will be decorated with howers-a
beautiful and touching tribute to the
memory of the men who served their
country in the time of trouble. The
3Oth of May has by common consent be-
come holiday in all the states of the
union, and been consecrated to the
memory of the brave departed. 1t is
hallowed by the recollections OF a
thousand fields of carnage, where men
of the Same race and Of equal valor shed
their blood in devotion to principle.
The observance Of such day gives refu-
tation to the apothegm that republics
are ungrateful, and instills a love OF
country in the breasts of our youth
which will prove shield and safe
guard to the union whenever it's honor
is attacked or it's liberties placed in
jeopardy,

YESTERDAY magnificent equestrian
monument to General Lee was unveiled
in Richmond in the presence of a vast
assemblage Of people, many of whom
fought on both sides in the late civil
war. Officers of high rank in both the
union and confederate armies are now
visiting together the scenes where they
contended in mortal conflict around
Vicksburg, and recalling the events of
those fearful days when the fate of the
nation trembled upon the outcome of
that memorable siege. Today, in
every cemetery, the veterans of
the union will decorate the
grave of every soldier, whether he wore
the blue or the gray. The history of all
times will be searched in vain for par
alel to SO speedy and complete recon-
citation of people who had but a few
years before engaged in deathly strug-
gle. The acerbities of the civil war in
England were not entirely wiped out for
nearly two centuries, and vet in less
than twenty-five years we see that the
bitterness of our gigantic strife has
passed away, leaving hardly sting be-
hind. 1t is a proof of the advancement
of the age in the humanities and in that
higher intelligence which subdues the
passions and overcomes the hatreds of
our grosser natures.

THE aftermath of the filibustel
scheme to capture Lower California is
really more racy and interesting than any,
thing developed in connection with that
roaring farce at the beginning. Colonel
Ferrer, the Mexican ex-army officer, in
his challenge to aforementioned
Smith" for ridiculing his countrymen
and depreciating their valor, has really
so overshadowed the original argument
of the play as to have taken
entire possession of the stage.
Then our own Captain James, who
was to have been the admiral
of the new navy, has given zest to Col.
Ferrer's attitude by his concise and sol
dier-like dispatch, in which he offers to
back the colonel in any controversy he
may have with the governor general .
whom he designates in terms that are
anything but Chesterfeldian. In reply
to Col. Ferrer's challenge, the governor
general" launches out into poetry OF nc
mean merit, although not quite up tc
the style or force of Juvenal in its satir-
ical properties. What will come next
no man can foresee. But there are
gouts of blood on the horns of the moon
and waiting world is on tiptoe for the
denOuement.

The People Are Coming.

j. G. Judson, who has been in the
excursion business between the east and
Los Angeles, has just returned from an
extended trip through all the eastern
states. He says there will be large
increase of travel to this section this
year as compared with that OF last year.
Movement will begin at once, and the
summer business will be good. This will
60 on improving during the fall, and by
winter good many tourists will be
reaching this city. He thinks the tide
has turned definitely.
