BACKED UP.
A Narrow Escape From a Serious Ac-
Cident.

At four O'Clock yesterday afternoon
Mr.. and Mrs. George Brown, of Azusa,
were driving along Alameda street, in a
two-wheeled cart, when, on reaching the
crossing at the Macystreet school, they
were overtaken by the Southern Pacific
overland passenger train. The horse at
tached to their vehicle whirled round
suddenly, as the engine came abreast of
it, and commenced backing towards the
train. Mr.. Brown used every effort to
urge the beast forward, but without
avail, and the result was that the cart
backed against the tender of the locomo-
tive. Fortunately the train was running
at slow rate of speed at the time, and
it was soon brought to standstill. The
force of the conclusion, however.
smashed both wheels and shafts of the
cart, and threw its occupants into the
road. AS soon as possible the conductor
OF the train picked up Mrs. Brown, who
was considerably shaken, and assisted
her to the school, where she was at
tended to by the Sisters of Charity. Mr..
Brown escaped injury by almost mira
Gle, and the horse was also uniniured
The train proceeded on it's journey,
when it was found that no serious dam
age had been done, and the Browns pro-
cured another vehicle and drove home
shortly afterwards.

A MYSTERIOUS CELLAR.
1t was Discovered on Commercial
Street


A short time since, A. L. Bush, a
plumber, while repairing some waste
pipes in the rear of the building on the
corner of Commercial and Los Angeles,
broke through the floor and discovered
what appeared to be subterranean
chamber. Carefully lowering himself,
he found an apartment 16X20 feet, with
walls of solid stone and no visible inlet
or outlet. The stone walls were thick
enough to have supported a siX-story
building, and as all the foundations in
the neighborhood were of brick, the dis
covery surprised him; and Mr.. Adams,
the gunsmith overhead, was puzzled to
know the purpose for which the under
ground chamber had been constructed
1t was surmised from number of curl
Gus looking inches in other
portions of the foundation wall,
that at one time the building
might have been a convent or prison,
and a number of the neighbors dis
cussed the matter among themselves un-
til the air appeared full of mystery and
rumOrs of buried treasure began to be
floating around.
An investigation of the records showed
that in 1858 the corner was occupied by
Juan Barra, who ran bakeshop there
His ovens were constructed in a peculiar
style, and some of them were under
ground. In 1864 or 1865 Barra built a
brick block for the use of S. Meyers
crockery business. 1t was deemed a
useless waste of money to destroy the
ovens, so Barra had them used as part
of the foundation for the building. The
stone apartment he constructed for the
use of Mr.. Meyer for, use as basement.
Thus was mystery solved.

RAILWAY NOTES.
Official Orders for Another Rate Cut
Received Yesterday.

S. B. Hynes, the general freight and
passenger agent of the Southern Cali
fornia railroad, yesterday afternoon re-
ceived a telegram from the headquarters
of the Santa Fe line in Chicago, ordering
another cut in the fare to Chicago, to
take effect on the 18th of this month.
This will reduce the frst-class rate from
$65 to 1858, and the second-elass rate
from $40 to $3S. 1t cuts the fare from
Kansas City to Chicago to So.
The effect Of this telegram is really
only to acknowledge the existence of a
cut which has prevailed for some time.
Several weeks ago word was telegraphed
from San Francisco that the roads were
all making second-class rate OF
$35 to Chicago. No formal notice was
sent to the offices of the various roads in
this city, and none OF the local ticket
agents would admit that they were SELL
ing at that figure. 1t is known, how
ever, that it was done by most of
them.
News was received at the Southern
Pacific offices yesterday that the body
of man found recently in a well near
lndio was that of Chinaman, who, it
is supposed, was murdered.
The special car containing the party
OF which Charles Dudley Warner and
Clarence Harper are members, left for
Santa Barbara yesterday.

A STOLEN WATCH.
1t Turns Up in the Possession of a
Chinaman.

Chinaman.
A Chinaman named All Gin was ar
rested at 6 80 O'Clock last evening by
Officer Sanchez and locked up in the
city Jail upon the charge of larceny.
About ten days ago Gustave Larson,
carpenter residing at 1872 Eighteenth
street, called at the police station and
reported that he had lost gold watch
He stated that friend invited him to
take some refreshment at a saloon near
his shop, and that he had stepped out
for few minutes. leaving his watch in
his vest pocket, which he had hung on
nail behind the door, On his return
he found that it had been stolen, and
his suspicious fell upon a white man
who had been loafing round the place.
The police were unable to trace the miss-
ing watch as no clue could be obtained
to work upon. Shortly after 6 o'clock
last evening, however, All Gin called at
Jacobson's jewelry store near the cor
ner of Second and Main streets, and
asked how much gold watch
which he presented was worth. The
jeweler looked at the watch and imme-
diately recognized it, by the fact that
there was small photograph of Lar
sons wife on the back of it. He then
asked the willy heather to let him ex-
anime it thoroughly, but All Gin refused
to let it go out of his hands. whereupon
the jeweler grabbed it and put it in his
pocket The Chinaman Immediately
showed fight and the struggles of the
two men attracted quite crowd outside
the store. Officer Sanchez noticed sew
eral people running in that direction,
and went down to investigate, with the
result that All Gin was arrested and
Jailed

ABOUT TOWN,
The Burglary that Led to
the Chinese Battle.
The Examination in Progress
in Court.
A Mysterious Cellar i'm Commercial
Street Turns Up.
Another Cut in Railroad Rates-Other
News of an Interesting Nature
Gathered on the Streets.

Yesterday afternoon the examination
j. Canneban, charged with the burglary
of the Chinese theater on the morning
of May 1st, was commenced in the town
ship court before Justice Savage. AS
the recent murder of Fong All Lung was
to a great extent due to the trouble
which arose between the two factions,
into which Chinatown is divided, the
case attracted good deal of attention
and the court room was crowded with
interested spectators of both white and
Chinese races.
Lee Low, the complainant, was the
first witness called. He testified in ef-
feet that he was female impersonator
at the Chinese theater. On the night of
the Both of April he left his room shortly
after midnight leaving the door locked.
On his return he found that it had been
broken into and 800 in cash
and a trunk containing number of
valuable costumes and stage properties
of the value of $4S9 stolen therefrom.
He identified the trunk, which had been
found after the burglary in the yard be-
hind Mrs. Canneban's house on Alameda
street, as the one that had been stolen
from his room.
Chan Kin Sing, an interpreter, testi-
fed as to the location of Lee Lows room,
in relation to the theater.
Wong Cow, friend of the complain
ant, testified in effect that Lee Low
asked him to see whether his door was
locked or not about | O'Clock in the
morning On going over to his friends
room he found Lem You, Fook Sing and
another Chinaman attempting to pick
the lock of the door. Fook Sing imme-
diately drew pistol, and presenting it
at the intruder's breast, held him up
with it until the door was forced, and
the other two went into the room, and
took the costumes and other property,
dropping it through the window into
the yard below
Guoy You stated that on the night in
question he was walking along Alameda
street, in the vicinity of the theater
building, and heard a sound like the
noise produced by a heavy body falling
to the ground. He listened intently for
a few seconds, and hearing mems voices
in undertones he started to investigate.
He went up a little hallway and saw
three Cinnamon attempting to break
open trunk with hatchet. While
they were doing so woman came out of
a door, in her nightgown, and picking up
a pillow-case box carried it into her room.
The Cinnamon succeeded in breaking
the trunk open, and carried off its con-
tents, saying as they did so that they
were very valuable.
At this juncture, it being 5 O'Clock, the
court adjourned the case being contin-
ued until 8 80 O'Clock this morning.

Remembering Hosnifalitle,.

For twelve years after they left Eng
land the men we know as the Pilgrims
lived in Amsterdam and LeydeD, be-
friended by the Dutch and free TO wor-
ship God as they saw fit. There was
truce in the long struggle OF the little
republic OF Holland against the DONNA
ton Of Spain, and in this period Of rest
the Scrooby exiles lived among the men
who had for forty years fought for their
faith and for freedom Of conscience, and
were destined to fight forty years longer.
The Puritans prospered In the years
they remained in Holland, and it is re-
corded that when they finally set out on
that long voyage which ended at Ply
mouth Rock, "sundry OF the Dutch
strangers that stood on the quay as spec
tators could not refrain from tears.
The voyage began at the haven or port

The manifesto OF Mr.. Parnell is con-
siderable relief to me, for 1 have always

greatly shocked when I found that he
was subordinating the cause OF his
country 10 his personal ambition. No
thing can be moro evident than that he

nications in regard to a home-rule bill
naturally took place between him

full powers from England, the other
held full powers from Ireland to arrive
at some arrangement advantageous alike
to the empire and to Ireland. But the
communications were in their nature
private. Neither could honorsbly allude
to them without the consent OF the other.
Six months after receiving these

4 Reporter Startling Discovery Of n For
midabIe Rat-Heap.

A belated reporter-snd the story is
true, says the Kansas City GiO6e-was
vending his way homeward up Broadway
early yesterday morning, when a sight
caused his very marrow to chill. Along
a board in front of a livery-stable were
rats Long-tailed and short tailed, old
and gray, young and brown, rodents of
all sizes, ages, colors, and descriptions.
Lying along i'll a row. side by side, one
occasionally sitting up, others perched
here and there, they presented a specta-
Gle TO sober a drunken man.
Sadly the reporter looked cautiously
around, as he took position at & safe dis
lance, and pressing his hand to his brow,
wondered If the effects of Thanks
giving were returning to him in this
horrible shape. He hadn't even gazed
on the flowing bowl through telescope
since that day, yet there seemed awful
proof OF the law of retribution.
Standing there for fifteen minutes, he
mustered enough nerve to once more APP
proach the board, and as a fiendish
laugh emanated from the stable, learned
intuitiyely that there had been whole
sale rat-killing In that stable.
