that Chicago is the jumping-off place

within Il few feet of the City-Hall. He
walks about the hotel with his trousers

ably compares this wild city with gen.

firing at night and getting up in the
morning. Yesterday afternoon he ask

AN ORDERLY STRIKE.
THE IRON-MOLDERS CONDUCTING
A PEACEFUL CAMPAIGN.
Fifth Week of the Trouble-Every-
thing Quiet in the Hostile Camps.
The Men Not Yet Starved Into Sub
lection or Driven to Desperation.

SAN Francisco, March 30.-Today
was the beginning of the fifth week of
the iron molders' strike against the
Manufacturers Association. Yet an air
of quietness pervades the entire district
occupied by the hostile forces. At the
strikers headquarters, molders were
collected all day, but contented them
selves with the newspapers and quiet
discussions as to the probable outcome
of the great strike now being made by
the Iron Molders' Union. Details of
special and regular police officers are
still on guard at the Risdon, Fulton and
Union foundries, but their duty is a
monotonous one, and perhaps the most
discontented individuals connected
with the fight are the patrol
men. Not a sign of disturbance
has been seen since the declara-
ton of the strike. The manufacturers
hold that the strikers are not yet reduced
to bedrock, and until that time will
there be much danger of violence. The
Eastern molders at work in the Risdon
foundry do not seem to be faring badly.
They have good board and comfortable
lodgings, and appear to be contented.
Several of them were taken out for
ride today under the protection of
special police.

The DOWneY Fair Grounds.

At meeting of the stockholders of
the Los Angeles Agricultural Associa-
alton held on Thursday, March Goth,
resolution was passed that the entire
property of the association be sold to
pay its indebtedness, amounting to
So 800.
In accordance with this resolution,
meeting of the directors of the associa-
tion will be held on Monday, March 81,
for the purpose of making an order for
the sale of the property, consisting of
q p acres of ground and the improve
ments thereon, and better known as the
Downey fair grounds.
This property is situated in the heart
of this city, and is worth sum greatly
above the encumbrance thereon; but,
owing to the unsatisfactory condition Of
the affairs OF the association and the
delinquencies OF some of the stock
holders, moderate encumbrance on the
property has been permitted to accumu-
late with no provision to meet it except
by sale of the property.
The general sentiment of the business
men of this city and farmers of the val
ley is that there should be reorganiza-
tion of the society the property relieved
from its debt and sufficient portion re-
served and set aside for fair ground,
and that the plan of holding annual
agricultural exhibitions should be
strictly adhered to. In accordance with
this expressed sentiment move is on
foot to incorporate for this purpose.
This is sensible view of the matter,
and should be carried out. 1t would be
suicidal on the part of our farmers and
business men to permit the property to
be sold and our annual fairs abandoned.
1t would be a standing stigma
upon the community for its lack
of enterprise and lasting mon
ument to the avaricious greed of
those who would profit by the abandon
ment for speculations this beautiful
park, that it should be the pride of all to
reserve for all time for public use

A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.
Major w. H. Toler Very Badly Hurt
By a Runaway.


Yesterday afternoon at about 5 O'Clock
a very serious runaway took place on
Grand avenue between Third and Sec
ond streets. Major w. Ii. Toler, who
residence is on the avenue running
along Second street to Bunker Hill ave-
nue., had been out driving and was re-
turning home. As he passed Third
street his horse SHE'D at some object,
and the Major gave the animal cut of
his whip to recall his mind to what he
was at. The horse ran away so ftlriously
that Mr.. Toler was unable to control
him, and, reaching Second street, the
beast swerved from the street and
ran into pole by the curb.
The collision wrecked the buggy COM
pletely, and the Major was thrown to the
ground with so much violence as to rem
der him senseless. He is heavy man
and no longer young. The concussion
WAS severe in the extreme. Friends
carried him to his home near by, where
they and the Majors family did all that
could be done for his comfort.
The only apparent effect of the fall was
to render Mr.. Toler unconscious to all
that was going on about him. He was
not able to recognize any of the mem
bers of his family Later he fell into
profound sleep, from which it is
earnestly hoped he may awake without
very serious results from his fall.

We have so often been called upon in

Mersey shore, to be broken up for few

seem but a reminiscence of the fate de-
clared to be imminent and commonly
believed to be past.

but the laborious efforts to launch this
enormous leviathan, as she was at
first called, in 1857, from Mr. Scott

had been ominous of ill success. Men
were killed by the breaking of gear at

pushed her broadside on into the COM
paratively narrow river, and Mr.. Brunei,
the eminent engineer, dying few days
afterward, was thought to be victim of
sore anxiety and severe disappointment.
One serviceable and honorable per-

Prince Bismarck taught Berlin shoe

promises which he did not keep, how to

promises, had failed to keep them.
When this again occurred the shoemaker
was aroused at 6 o'clock the next morn

question:

When the shoemaker said "No," he
retired; but in ten minutes another
messenger arrived. Loud rang the bell

Associated Press Dispatches. |


QUEENSTOWN, March 3O.-The Inman
line steamer City of Paris, towed by the
steamer Aldergate, arrived at Queens
town at O'Clock this morning An
accident occurred on Tuesday, caused
by the breaking OF the low-pressure
cylinder OF the port engine, flying pieces
of metal forcing the bulkhead and MAX
ing hole in the double bottom and
disabling the starboard engine. The
passengers became panic-stricken when
they found the ship making water and
it was thought there was possibility of
the vessel laundering. The water which
flooded the engine compartment was
forced through the injection tubes,
which it is alleged the engineers during
the excitement had neglected to shut.
The starboard engine was shattered al
most to pieces. The port engine-rooms
were filled with upwards of 1000
tons OF water, and the port engine was
entirely useless. Terrible consequences
would have ensued but for the bravery
VI tllc scCOuu ciiSllCCI, WIZ, dt lIle
peril of his life, managed to shut off the
steam, thus saving the machinery from
total demolition. The lifeboats were
cleared and the pumps kept working.
The steamer drifted helplessly until the
26th, when the captain sent the chief
officer and six men in lifeboat to get
into the track Of other line steamers, in
the hope of intercepting the City of
Chester or Adriatic. The boat met the
Adriatic, which declined to take the
City of Paris in tow, but sent the steamer
Aldergate. The Aldergate is a small
steamer, unable to tow over four or five
knots hourly, and the progress made
was slow until Saturday, when the Ohio
was sighted. She stood by until 3 pm,
when the Fastnet was sighted. Two
tugs were sent later. The water kept in
creasing in spite OF the work of the
pumps. An examination is being made
by divers. The conduct OF the officers
and crew was admirable
Very scant courtesy was shown the
press by the representatives of the
steamship line, and it has been very diff
cult to get any details, except the stories
of passengers.
One of the passengers says the serious
pumps were disabled by the accident,
and the crew had to take to the hand
pumps. External appliances, heavy
sails and planks, also made the opinion
freely expressed, that if a storm had
come up, the steamer would have gone
to the bottom in few hours.

SOME STRANGE DRINKS.
How Wicked Drummer Tangled Ur
the Barkeeper.

They are telling good story on
Johnnie Farley, the handsome host of
the Richelieu and it will probably be a
long time before he hears the last of it.
Here are the facts, according to the
Pacific Vine and Spirit Reyiew:
"Give me little prima facto with a
dash OF angostura" said a big we'll
dressed drummer for an eastern cigar
house the other day, as he spun 500
piece on the bar in front of Farley.
The latter looked solemn and replied
that the house didn't keep that mixture
as there was no call forit.
ooh, suppose" said the drummer,
''that the drink has not travelled this
far west. Soyou can give me hic jdcet
and make it soft"
Farley confessed, in hesitating way,
that it could not be had.
every well, l can get along with a
Gun, grano sails, if you don't make it too
sweet"
There was hunted look in Johnnies
eve as he replied that the man who
always made that drink was off duty.
"Well," laughed the drummer, "this
is getting rather monotonous, but Well
compromise on hOrs du combat, with a
touch of marschino, and make it quick
for want to catch the next Oakland
boat"
This time Farley turned pale, but he
was equal to the occasion and he lodged
the disagreeable issue by looking at the
clock and declaring that he would not
have time to properly prepare the bev-
erage.
''Great Casar l thought this was a
first-class house." growled the cigar man,
''but see it isn't. So you can give me a
tennis fugit favored with Benedictine." J"
At this stage of the dialogue Farley's
forehead was studded with great beads
of perspiration, and he looked as though
he could be knocked out with feather.
Excuse me, stranger" said he
huskily, and forcing a sickly smile,
''we've got the Benedictine, but we
haven't got drop of the fugit or the
tempis left. Won't you please change
this deal and take royal Pommery
champagne cocktail with me?"
The drummer looked weary, but ac-
cepted the peace offering and walked
out.
cpd give a red horse and blue wagon
if that fly jay from the East would teach
me how to make those Yankee drinks
Seems to me Pm getting way behind the
procession" remarked Farley gloomlly
to lounger at the reading table, who
had kept his laughing face hid
den behind paper during Farley's
ordeal. When he learned that the
''fy jay'' had sprung some old
stock Latin and French phrases on him
and "worked' him for champagne
cocktail, Johnnie tainted. An hour later
he went down to the Grand and tried
the new gag on Ed. Fay. 1t didn't work,
for Ed. had also suffered at the hands OF
the drummer, and he not only loaded
Jonathan with draught composed OF
pepper sauce, salt and Jamaica. ginger
but made him crack a couple OF bottles
of extra dry for the crowd.

HOUNDED TO DEATH.
Rudolph Mayors Identity Established.
His VIII Discovered.

SAN Francisco, March 3O.-The iden-
tity of Rudolph Mayer, of San Jose, who
so tragically committed suicide ON Satur-
day, the 22d inst, by rushing in
front of a moving railroad train, and
shooting himself in the head, has been
fully established. His will, written in
pencil the day before the deed,
came to light today. In it he
stated that he was bounded to
death by his enemies. He states he is
OF Jewish parentage. He left a re-
quest to pay all his debts and give the
residue to his young gentlemen friends
The value of his proyertp is not large.
