The Affairs of the Los Angeles and
Pacific Road.

The Affairs of the Los Angeles and
Pacific Road.
The 1000 shares of the stock of the
Los Angeles and Pacific on which the as
sessment was delinquent were offered for
sale yesterday as had been advertised,
and were bid in by the company for the
amount of the assessment, or at the rate
of 211a cents on the dollar Of face value.
S. w. Luitweiler, the vice. president of
the road, was seen by reporter of this
paper yesterday. He said: "This trans
fer of the stock helps to put the road in q
better shape than ever before. 1t places
the stock in the hands of people who are
ready to stand by the road instead of de-
serting it. The debts of the company,
which aggregate about $175 900, have ali
been arranged, the greater part being.
settled by the giving of bonds. We are
now ready to finish up the connection
into the city, repair the road where it
was washed out last fall and start it to
running for the summer business. The
statement that the proposed connection
into the city is not feasible by reason of
the grades, is not true, and is circulated
by enemies of the road, who know moth
ing about our plans. We shall abandon
the right-of-way which passes the Sisters
Hospital and have q perfectly feasible
route. We shall probably be in running
order by three months from date, and
will do business which will admit of
paying per cent on the bonds and per
cent on the stock"

The court-martial which is trying

the Eagle Corps's funds remained in ces-

ing.
At the opening Of the morning session
the direct examination of Colonel Rus
sell, which had begun the asening be
lore. was completed. He acknowledged
that his system of bookkeeping had not
been very elaborate, and that IN fact he
knew very little about the business. He
admitted that he did not have vouchers
or receipts for the money which he had
in all cases paid out, but explained that
the reason for this was that they were
mislaid.
The ss-examination conducted by
Judge Advocate G. Wiley Wells was long
and searching. He went over the vari-
GUS business transactions indicated in
the books, and explained them 80 far as
they admitted of explanation. As to the
note which Major Willard had been COM
PEELED to pay he had drawn it to pay for
the rent of the hall. The witness ad-
mitted that he had taken the money oil
the Eagle Corps to pay for the billiard
table for companies A and G.. but he had
done 80 with the consent of number of
members of the corps. He vas unable
to mention the names of more than two
of these, however.
In the afternoon Captain Starin was
summoned. He testified in general
way to the effect that the members of
the Eagle Corps were always we'll salts
fed at the manner in which the finances
of the organization were looked out for
by Colonel Russell. They believed that
be was paying money out of his own
pocket for the support of the corps, and
that without him it would have come to
an end.

Russell's habit to read an itemizsd state.
ment at each meeting of the finances oi
the corps. Lieutenant Bloeser, of the
corps, gave testimony of similar tenor.
W. U. Stone, the financial secretary oi
the corps, also declared that he believed
Colonel Russell conducted the money af.
fairs of the organization in a correct
style.
At the evening session Colonel Russell
was placed upon the stand and started
in to explain an item of 81, 800 which he
had charged up to his credit on the
books in 1886, before the commission o
inquiry was held. This was objected tc

this question and finally decided that the
item of $1,000 would not be considered
as an element of the defense.
In rebuttal, General Johnson, Major
Stern and Major Cooper we're called tc
testify on the charges of neglect of mill.
tary duties. The court adjourned until
this morning. The case will probably
close today.

PROFITABLE GRAPES.
The Reasons why Spanish Grapes
Yield $500 TO the Acre.

The Reasons why spanish Grapes
Yield $500 TO the Acre.
E. L. Goodsell. a prominent fruit inn
porter and auctioneer, of New York City,
who makes speciality Of California
fruit, writes to Eugene Germain with re-
gard to his recent sales of his Almerian
Spanish grapes. The prices which these
grapes bring in the American market
exceed by an average of 81 a barrel the
highest price paid for the home produc-
ton. "My gross sales," says Mr.. Good
sell, amount to about 1925, 900. They
net nine cents per pound to the grower. /.
The growth is about five tons to the acre,
profit of 5000 an acre.
"All this gives cause for announcement
to our American fruit cultivaters to grow
a fine grape of hardy nature, and to
market it by auction. 1 attribute the
grand success that has attended Almeria
grape sales to the fact that one market
has been made the center of distributing
supplies, and buyers have been COM.
pelled to come there, SO entering into
competition with each other to make
their purchases. When our domestic
products can be properly graded and
packed, and when the marketing and
distributing of the same can be from
very few centers and through proper
sources and agents, who will devote their
sole time and energy to developing the
trade, then can we expect to see like re-
suits as the reward of the American pro-
ducerD

THE CHAMBER OF CoMMERCE.
Regular Meeting This AfterAoon.
Reception TOm0fr0w.

Regular Meeting This Afternoon.
Reception Tomorrow.
The indie atoms are that the opening
OF the new Chamber of Commerce quar-
ters tomorrow evening will be a grand
success. Much interest is being mani
tested in the chamber, and it is probable
that most of the invited guests, as we'll
as all of the members and their families,
will be present. Tbs hall, fortunately,
is of great capacity, and it is not believed
that it will be uncomfortably crowded at
any one time during the evening". There
will be q delegation from the Board of
Trade of Pomona in today to arrange
their exhibit Pomona has been given
more interest and has realized the ims
to a greater extent than most of the other
localities.
The L. j. Rose Company will put in a
fine display of the products of their
wineries and distilleries.
The Southern California Packing Com
pany are putting their display in shape.
One of the attractions of the opening
night will be an oil painting of Empress
Eugene and her maids of honor. The
painting is eight feet by twelve in size,
and is superior work of art.
The German Company will make a
magnificent display of potted plants and
shrubs from its conservatory.
Altogether there will be just enough in
the hall to give people an idea of what
the exhibit is intended to be.
The ladies will meet at O'Clock to-
morrow morning to decorate the hall, and
it is hoped that the citizens will before
that time send in liberal supply of cut
flowers. potted plants and evergreens.
The latter are especially wanted.
The general meeting room of the cham
ber has been carpeted and the chairs put
in. Altogether the members Of the
chamber have reason to be proud of
their new quarters.
! The best music in the city has been
obtained for the opening night. The
whole aft ir promises to be most agree
able, and will mark an epoch in the his
tory of the chamber.
The regular monthly meeting will be
held at the new quarters this afternoon
at O'Clock.

spoiled the Kttchen.

The dangerous practice OF pouring coal
oil upon q smouldering fire to make it
burn more quickly nearly caused Mrs.
Lee, of 423 South Hill street, the loss of
her house and home about III O'Clock
yesterday morning. The lady had built
fire in her stove, but as the kindling
wood was damp it was slow in burning,
and Mrs. Lse resorted TO the expedient
of pouring coal oil upon it. The result
was that the oil flared up and ignited the
walls of the kitchen, and but for the
prompt attendance of the fire depart
ment, which was summoned by tele-
phone, the whole building must have
been consumed. AS it was, about $500
worth Of damage was done, but for
tunately this was covered by insurance.

A Button Hook,

Yesterday afternoon gentleman was
approached by diminutive shoe-blac
on Spring street and importuned to pur-
chase a lady's gold glove-buttoner. His
suspicious being aroused by the fact that
the boy should have 80 valuable an
article in his possession, the gentleman
questioned him, and on promising not to
take him to the police station, learned
that the lad, who said his name was
Billy Jones, had sneaked into the Office
of Major Horace Bell, in the Temple
block, and stolen the article from the
table on which the type-writing machine
stood. The boy was released, and the
gentleman returned the stolen property
to Major Bell, who readily identified it
as belonging to his daughter.

Every man on the Alliance ticket was
elected, except one.
We look on this as great victory for

united.
Our alliance has only been started
about two months, and now numbers
over one hundred and fifty, and our num-

mand nothing but justice and right, and
stand united, and our demands will be
conceded. Yours fraternally,
