THE TRAINMEN.
THEY REvEL IN SANTA MONICA
WAVES AND SUNSHINE.
The Southern Pacific Company Treats the
Visitors to Trip to the Seaside-The
Business of the Convention.

The various committees of the Train
mems convention mad not completed
their arduous labors yesterday morning,
and as consequence there was no ses-
sion, the convention standing adjourned
until this morning, in order to give the
committeeman full day in which to
complete their reports. This, of course,
gave the majority Of the delegates a
clear day in which to enjoy themselves,
an opportunity of which very few failed
to avail themselves. About two hum
dred of the visiting delegates, many OF
whom were accompanied by ladies,
boarded the morning train to Santa
Monica, and the genial Conductor John
Bessett, and Baggageman Jack Manning,
did the honors of that popular seaside
resort as they only could have done.
taries of both sexes, while those who
were daunted by the roaring breakers
reveled in the sunshine on the sandy
beach and watched their comrades dis
porting in the water. Before their re-
turn the delegates were presented with
a wagon-load of cut flowers, culled from
lea, which were brought up to this city
for the ladies. All returned to town
much pleased with their days outing,
and extremely grateful to the Southern
Pacific company, which issued round
trip passes to the delegates.
On Thursday night large number Of
the brotherhood attended the regular
meeting OF the local Paradise lodge No.
IA, and participated in the ceremonies
of initiating new members.
Afterit has received the reports of the
committees, which will take consider
able time, the convention has large
quantity of business before it, and the
probabilities are that, even if the con-
vention runs along as smoothly
as it has done heretofore, it
will be in session four or five
days longer. The business of electing
five new officers will probably not be
reached till Monday or Tuesday. The
officers elected will be asecond and third
vice-grand master, a trustee, and two
representatives to the supreme council,
which meets IN Chicago annually. The
council is composed of twelve men, three
from each of the five grand orders OF
railroad men in this country. This coun-
Gil also makes strike impossible among
the various orders of trainmen without
it's consent, as its poweris absolute. The
officers of the b. of r. 7. are elected for
term of two years.
Delegate G. Duffy, from Scranton, Pa,
who has been confined to his room at
the Nadeau through sickness, is much
better, and expects to get out today.
In the list of the members of the Pitts
burgh delegation published in yester-
days HERALD, the name of G. E. Saxton,
of lodge No. 213, Stanton, Iowa, was
omitted by an oversight.

The Finance Committee.

The finance committee met yesterday
and made the following report to be sub
mitted to the council on Monday:
Recommend that the report of the
city auditor as to the condition OF the
funds for the week ending October 18th;
also report of the same officer as to the
balances of his books for month ending
September 3Oth, and also report of the
same officer relative to the water over
seer's report for the month of Septem-
Der, be filed.
In the matter of the petition from G.
A. Ralphs, No. S61, the city assessor has
reported that this is a double assess
ment of personal property, and recon-
mend that upon the presentation OF a
proper demand drawn upon the tax
fund for this year, the sum OF $3.50 be
returned to petitioner.
In the matter of the petition from
Mrs. Emily Craig, No. 800, the city as
SCISSOR has reported this to be double
assessment, and we therefore recon-
mend that certificate of tax sale No. l62
be cancelled and redeemed OF record by
the clerk for the foregoing reason.
In the matter of the petition from
Max Hoffman, No. S5S, upon the report
OF the city assessor that no statement
was filed by Hoffman with him as re-
quired by law, recommend that the
petition be denied.
In the matter Of the petition from the
Humane society, No. S7S, asking that
the dog ordinance be either repealed
absolutely or modified, we recommend
that the matter beEreferred to the Los
Angeles Kennel club to report an
amended ordinance for the consideration
of the council.
In the matter Of the application from
the board of education relative to any
balance in the public school improve
ment fund, we recommend that tins
matter be not acted upon until all OF the
schoolhouses have been finally settled

Wade this morning.
case was dismissed today in the
township Justices court, for want of evil
dence, in which one negro charged an
other one with battery. He SAID his as
sailant had given him black eye. AS
nature had already provided him with
pair of such eyes, and as there was no
evidence forthcoming that their dark
shade had still been increased by the
acts of the defendant, the complainant
was mulcted for the costs.

city pay said firm the sum of $3.50 upon
the surrender of the contract.
NO DEATHS FOR A YEAR.
The Healthfulness of Crescenta Doubted
by the Census Bureau.

Correspondence OF the Herald.
EDITORS HERALD AN unusual occur
renee in connection with the census re-
turns of this district was reported a
short time ago. Mr.. j. w. Strong of
Crescenta, (forme1ly of Los Angeles
was the census reporter OF this district,
which comprised about six hundred
people. In September last, the super
intendent of census, at Washington, re-
turned Mr.. Strong's reports to him, say
ing he had made an error in neglecting
to fill out his death schedule" and re-
questing him to fill it out and return
the reports; but the facts in the case
were, there were no deaths to report,
in all his district, during the year pre-
ceding the 1st of June last; so he was
obliged to get DR.. Briggs, the only resi-
dent physician, and he retired doctor,
to write to the superintendent of cen
sus and verify his report. and testify
also to his truthfulness as q man. Thus
it is seen when an enumerator has such
an unusually healthy district to report,
it gets him into trouble; his veracity
has to be established, and his papers
uIO CShu ObSh w ilill, WliCICdp, IL tlC
had had a few deaths to report, or had
gone out and killed a few people, his
word would not have been doubted.
Mr.. Hollenbeck, of New York, and
Mr.. Gale, Of Los Angeles, are guests at
the hotel.
Miss Walters, of Hanna college, Los
Angeles, is guest at DR.. Briggs's home.
Mrs. Fitzwilliams and son returned to
Los Angeles last week, after short stay
in Crescenta. Mr.. Fitzwilliams has a
force of men engaged in clearing his
twenty-acre place, preparatory to setting
out trees and building.
Mr.. Frechette, of Los Angeles, has been
having a fine reservoir built on his place,
the former Bellau property.
Mr.. Egnace Scherb, a native of France,
has E.ade a considerable quantity of
wine this season. He makes several
varieties, and has a fine collection, of
different ages, in his wine cellar.

DELBASTY'S DOOM.
The French "Charcutier" Convicted of
Being a Lecher.

ne Frenen "CnarCutier SonVicted OF
Being Lecher.
Jean Delbasty, as the French call it,
the charcutier, convicted yesterday
afternoon in department six Of adultery.
Mr.. Delbasty lived for several years
with Marie Villemer, woman not his
own wife. Mrs. Delbasty cared very lit
tie about the pork butchers relations
with the other woman, but she wanted
who had been carried away by her hus-
band when he skipped from his lares
and penates, in France, ten years ago, to
of this country into the mysteries of
pan out well for the people, because it
isfaction of the jury that Mr..
when a woman seeks revenge she can
as Deputy District Attorney Hardesty
cannot. In the first trial the documen-
tary evidence of the marriage was not
admitted In the second trial the lady
proved by her cousin, specially imported
from New Orleans, for the occasion, that
the wedding between the defendant and
the prosecuting witness had actually
taken place, and that he was witness
to it. This was fatal to the mixologist
of pork meat and black pudding. He
was convicted in ten minutes. Sentence
will be pronounced on Monday. 1t is
the aim OF Mrs. Delbasty to gain posses
sion of the little boy, and it is probable
that now she will obtain him without
great trouble. She is very nice lady,
who has been greatly wronged, and she
deserves her child, for whom she pro-
fesses great love and for which she will
certainly care for with the consideration

Mrs Sarah G. Madison, whose mad is
on, yesterday commenced suit against
