Heavy DefalcattOn.

Mr.. Nugent, the expert accountant
who for the past few months has been
engaged upon the books of the San Pedro
Lumber Company, concluded the ardu-
GUS task on Thursday last, and left for
his home in San Francisco the same
evening. j. A. Hooper, the president of
the lumber company, in an interview
with a reporter, stated that the total
amount Of the defalcation, as far as
known, was $4,000. The expert ac-
countant's report was concluded, and the
whole matter had been placed in the
hands of the company's attorneys,
Messrs. White & Variel, but he is not
prepared to say what action would be
taken thereon. President Hooper de-
clined to say what portion of
the deficit was attributed to
the missing cashier, G. K. Drane, or to
General Manager Merrick Reynolds.
He also declined to say whether or not
the amount of the property turned over
to the company by Reynolds was suffi-
cient to secure his employers from loss
on account of his defalcations, if any
there were.
The president further said that the
street gossip lately circulated to the effect
that there had been o misunderstanding
among the directors OF the company over
the matter was without foundation in
| fact.

THE FIGHT ON GARD.
1t Seems to WAX Hotter at the
National Capital.

1t Seems to WAX Hotter at the
National Capital.
The underhand fight to defeat the con.
firmation of Major George E. Gard as
United States Marshal for the Southern
District of California becomes more in
teresting. 1t is underhanded, of course,
or the fellows who are behind it would
not resort to nom de guerre to conceal
their identity. The HERALD's publica-
tion of the facts two days ago drew out
letter, which appeared in this paper yes
terday, which gives the game away. 1t
was by an error stated that Harry Elliott
was the name used in the letter at Wash
ington, and some one answered the
HERALD's inquiry as to where he was by
writing yesterdays letter, signed as
shove. Now, as a matter of fact, the
letter at Washington is signed A. B.
Elliott. So it is "fake," and the
writer will not come cut.
Yesterday, however, HERALD re-
porter had occasion to visit the office OF
prominent Republican, himself an appli-
cant for a fat Office. The visit
was in no wise connected with Gard or
politics, but the HERALD lay on the table
aud the other matter being disposed of
the Gard matter came up, the person
in question being Grand Army man as
we'll as politician. While it was being
discussed telegram was brought in, and
on opening it the face of the Republican
office seeker gathered darkly. By lit
tie questioning the information was re-
luctantly given that the message
was from Attorney General Miller
at Washington. 1t stated that
the person telegraphed to was
named in A. B. Elliott's letter as
one who could corroborate all that was
charged against Gard. This person is in
a quandary. He manifestly is little
anxious lest he should be suspected of
being behind the whole scheme. Of
course Elliott" thinks be has named
willing witness or he would not name
him. But the person referred to here
says that so far as he knows there is
nothing to keep Gard from getting the
place. The fight is very pretty one
right at the present stage. Gard will
have to meet and combat the insidious
attacks of-this covert enemy. He cannot
let the case 60 by default.

we're taken away we should feel mighty

CAAngo.
By reason of her proximity and the
special peculiarities of her surface the
moon is the most brilliant object in the
nightly sky. We can see that it is round.
We know that the earth is round, be-
cause viewed from any point the section
is circle. We cannot judge of the moon
In the same way because we can see but
one side of her, and that is always the
same. The moon is 2,162 miles in di-
ameter. Her distance from the earth is
not always the same, as she does not
travel in circle but in an ellipse. In
bulk the moon is to the world as to 40,
but in total mass it is as / to 81. The
best time to observe the moon is when it
is about five days old in the western
sky.
The Professor narrated in very graphic
language the circumstances under which
the moon came into existence, and de-
scribed the present appearance of it's sur
face and explained the causes of this con-
figuration. The lecture was listened to
with close attention end evident appre-
citation by the audience.

A Lecture sOn the Lunar Body by
prot. John Dickinson.
Prof. John Dickinson delivered the
fourth lecture of his course at tts Church
of the Unity last evening. The chapel
room was crowded full of listeners. He
said:
The three lectures which I have de-
livered thus far in the course have been
about the earth. Tonight we journey
out into space, to our nearest neighbor,
the moon. She is the only child of
mother earth, taken out of the substance
of the earth in the infinite past. She is
the only one of the heavenly bodies ex-
cept the cum whose presence exerts q
potent influence on our life. II one after
another of the stars were blotted out of
existence, there would be no Rppreciable
difference in the light or heat which
comes to the earth. But if the moon

A FRUIT BOOM.
Buying Orange Lands and Plant,
Ing Fruit Trees.


Ing Fruit Trees.
Yesterday evening HERALD reporter
met real-estate dealer, John F. Hum
phrsy, on the street, and asked him
what he knew about the boom in orange
land. He said: "Well, I know little.
We find it mostly along the Azusa valley.
l will not indulge in any glittering
generalities, but get down to facts
Billy Dawson, Of Glendora, has sold
twenty acres Of raw land at $500 an acre.
The Rev. Mr.. Urmston has bought sixty
acres from Johnny Dougherty, of the
same part of the valley, for $ll 900. 1t
is a dead bargain. Judge Smith has
sold ton acres south of Covina for 81 900.
A twenty.acre piece, opposite the
schoolhouse at Covina on the
San Bernardino road, has been
sold, but do not know at what price.
John Casey, at the head of Citrus ave-
nue., has sold 141a acres at 1852 80 pei
acre. There are many sales being made
there that 1 do not hear of. All these
have been made within the past few
days, and there are a number of others
being closed up.
Going down the street little further,
the reporter met Tim Carroll, a nursery
man from Anaheim, and asked him how
tree planting was going on. He replied:
II never saw anything to compare with
it. have sold this season million
trees. The call is mostly for orange trees,
fig trees and walnut trees. The idea is
that these fruits grow here and do not
grow anywhere else. Therefore. this
section will be able to monopolize
the market of the United States.
| expect to sell as many more trees be-
fore the season is over as 1 have sold to
date. sell good many pear trees too,
and some of all sorts of fruits. There
is quite run on the strawberry guava.
Mr.. Humphrey stated that in the
Azusa valley there was only one small
lot Of orange trees for sale that had not
been bought up ahead. The HERALD
knows there is big demand for the
strawberry guava, for it receives so many
letters making inquiries as to where they
can be bought. The rains of the past
winter have been so copious that the
ground is full of moisture, and the trees
will grow as if by magic in all parts of
the country.
