certainly paint rosy future for the place."
my boy, it would be a good thing for you If
you were not OILY almost, but wholly, persuaded
to drive your pegs down there. What more
could the most insatiate city-builders ask or
wish? Mountains, solid mountains of the finest
steel ing ore, one bed of it five miles long by
two miles wide; exhaustless deposits of lime

fields: magniticant forests Of TIMBER the finest

grasses, fruits and vegetables most valuable for
food for man and beast, climate so glorious

thing necessary TO maintain an immense hiye of
population; great markets easily accessible, and
indispensable railroad facilities. If Waynes-

it over to the Baltimore and Ohio Com

the annual meeting of the Pittsburg and
Western Railroad Company in May, in
order that preparations can be made
for the spring freight traffic. This will
give the B. & O. shorter route to Cleve-

that Mr. Carnegie becomes largely inter

Andrew Carnegie has wisely begun
during his lifetime the distribution of

thrown open. On the preceding day he
had made an offer to the city OF Pittsburg
to build public library. with four or five
branches (after the manner of The Pratt

has been accepted. The sum donated is
to be $1,0)0000.
The Committee on Territories has
unanimou lily rerorted in favor of admit
ting Wyoming Territory into the Union
as State. The progress of the territory
is exceptionally fattering, and its wealth
surpasses that of most of the States
when first admitted. Within the past
ten years Wyoming has exF ended over
81 900, 900 for public schools, and now
paws over $25O000 annually for school
purposes. There are 12.0G0,0G0 acres OF
land susceptible of cultivation and i'm

acres not subject to irrigation. Two
million acres have been reclaimed at an
expense of $15,0Oo,oOO, paid wholly by
the territory There is a large cattle
business transacted in the territory, and
coal. iron, oil and soda exist in unlimi

IS HE THE ROBBER?
T. R. Long Arrested by Detectives on
Suspicion.

T. R. Long was taken before Justice
Austin yesterday, charged with assault
with intent to commit robbery, and was
ordered to appear for examination on
Wednesday next, bail being fixed at
$4,000. Long was arrested on Thursday
afternoon by Detectives Auble and Bow
Ter, on suspicion of being the clone
highwayman' who held up and shot at
a milkman on Tuesday night, while he
was driving home on Central avenue,
just north of the Ballona railroad track
Nothing was said at police headquarters
about his arrest until yesterday, when
A. M. Nelms, the milkman, called
at the Jail and positively
identified Long as his assailant. The
pistol with which Nelms was shot at has
been found and identified by Long as
belonging to him; but he denies all
knowledge of black cloth mask which
was also found. Another link in the
chain of evidence was discovered on
stripping the prisoner, when black
bruise was found on his shoulder, where
Nelms says he struck him with the butt
end of his whip. Long claimed to have
just arrived from Arizona, but it has
since been ascertained that he was dis
charged from the county Jail on Sunday
last on the expiration of ten days SEN
tence for vagrancy, from Redondo Beach.

HE IS A PROPHET.
Joseph Schurtz, of the palace" Makes
No Mistakes.

A few days ago Schurtz, the proprietor
of the Palace" offered to bet the agent
of the Anheuser-Busch beer that in two
weeks he would have no customers for
that beer at all. The bet was not ac-
cepted. But the fact remains, and the
prophecy of Schurtz is fulfilled. For,
since last Monday the few places where
the Anheuser-Busch beer had been sold
have made a change, and now sell the
celebrated beer of the city and county of
Los Angeles.
This is proven by the fact that all this
week the Anheuser wagon has been
loaded at the Philadelphia brewery.
on Also street. Now, Anheuser, good
bye for ever! The question which Schurtz
lays before the agent of the Anheuser-
Busch-and it is the last question
is what brand of beer he has sold himself
at the Anheuser saloon and the Elm
tracht since last Monday? "Was it a
beer without reputation" under the
mystery of Anheuser? Or had the
''agent" the nerve to say to his custom
ers that he was not selling his "cele-
brated" Anheuser, but the beer he sold
now had no reputation? Whatever
beer he has sold since last Monday GER
tainly the few customers who frequent
his places, after drinking the beer
served them were all highly satisfied
that the beer was better than they had
been getting. Non let us have the truth
was it Anheuser or Philadelphia?

sational Fabrications.
The signal service officer at this point
has received communication from the
department at Washington, enclosing
an item purporting to be new which ap-
peared in the st. Louis Globe Democrat
under date February s, 1890. 1t is in
the nature of a telegraphic dispatch
from Los Angeles, and sets forth that
this section has been deluged by rain,
the floods doing incalculable damage.
1t is stated that the river has shifted its
course and inundated large area below
the city, damaging property to the
amount OF $750,O00. Evidently the
clipping was sent to the department at
Washington for confirmation, and the
head officer sent it here, for Mr.. Frank
Inns report ON the matter.
1t will be noted that the total rainfall
for the month of February last was only
about an inch and half, little or none
of which had fallen at the date of the
above dispatch. The month of January
produced only about inches of rain,
and there was no flood as an incident of
that fall of rain.
But morning paper with question

pidity, did on or about the date of this
telegram publish misleading and

the graves of the meteorological
records like a senile "old mortality"

an exaggerated form did set forth figures
of a fabulous character as to the damage
done. 1t was a guess, a wild guess,
boys guess, the guess of man who
never dealt in coin of the realm to any
amount above $15-a-week salary. 1t
was the guess of boy more intent on
creating cheap sensation than on get
ting at the facts and stating them with
some regard to the canons Of truth.
But there you are. The boys wild

An Effort to Enjoin the City from SA-
luting the Glorious Fourth with
Cannon Fails OF Its work.
An effort was made yesterday to procure
an injunction from Judge Deming OF tho
court of common pleas restraining the city
from firing the customary Fourth OF July
salute of ordnance on the old green. Inc
initiative was taken by Charles g. Baldwin
and his wife, Jeanette A. Baldwin, and
they employed Lawyer Charles Kleiner to
apply for the injunction in their behalf. The
hearing was held at o'clock in the court OF
common pleas, bsfore Judge Deming. There
were present Corporation Counsel Townsend,
City Auditor Lake, City Clerk Downes. Rep
resentative Isaac Wolfe, George D. Watrous,
Harry W. Asher, and 8. B. futile. Lawyer
KIeiner presented statements from Drs.
L. ]. Sanford, Cheney, and ]. z. Theodore
stating that they had patients in the vicinity
of the old green whose condition would be
greatly impaired by the firing. Mrs. Lucy j.
Raymond wrote that her husband, A.C. Ray
mond, was very i'll from the amputation OF
toe and the shock would endanger his life.
This was reinforced by similar communities
ton from DR.. Daggett. Mrs. Catherine A.
oS"esoA VI AOo OoA4OA0 oIA0Oo WAooo sAAAs AVA
daughter was very i'll with nervous prostra-
ton. Professor w. Fl. Brewer wrote letter
in which he said that he had personal know
ledge of cases where the sufferings of invalids
had been greatly aggravated by the firing OF
the cannon. DR.. Cheney certified by letter
to the illness of Mrs. Caroline A. Ward. DR..
Theodore wrote that Mrs. Henry N. Day was
quite ill. She resides opposite the green on
Chapel street.
Lawyer Kleiner said the certificates fur
nished were sufficient evidence to secure an
Injunction. The lives of several people were
at stake and he believed the cause was just
one.
Corporation Counsel Townsend, for the
city, opposed the motion. The persons IN
question who were subject to the danger
were personal friends of his and he had greai
sympathy for them. Most of them, however
were confirmed invalids. He considered il

could not grant the motion unless it wa
shown that the firing would endsnger thu
