A Grand Reception Tonight to the
Visiting Trainmen.

This evening, at Elks' hall, on Main
street between Second and Third streets,
will be held grand reception to the
Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, ten
dered to them by the five Knights of
Pythias lodges of this city. This recep-
ton is only to members of the brother
erhood and knights in good standing,
and will be an occasion long to be re-
membered by those who attend. OF
the large body of delegates to the con-
vention in this city, over seven
tenths of them are knights, and
great majority of the remaining
three-tenths have signifed a desire to
join this order. The X. of P. members
of this city think this the accepted time
to show to this grand body of men what
Pythian reception is, and therefore
have resolved upon this means OF doing
it. Refreshments will be served in
abundance, speeches made, the fourth
rank conferred, and general good time
INDUCED in. All knights in good stand
ing and Brotherhood of Railway Train
men are respectfully invited to be pres
sent. The irrigation system will be
thoroughly explained.

Dangerous Roman Candles.

A fireworks company near New Yorl,
made the fortunate discovery last week
that an employe was filling Roman can
dies with both clay and powder. The
addition of the clay, it is said, makes
the exploding of the candle dangerous,
being liable to cause the bullets to come
out of the end held in the hand. The
man has been arrested, but denies that
he has done as charged.
1t appears that thousands of dollars
worth of the candles have been tampered
with. Some of them have been shipped
to customers in various parts of the
United States, but they have been re-
quested to return them to the factory.
Officers Of the company are of the opin-
ion that he did not put the clay into the
candles of his own accord, but was
prompted to do SO by some enemy of the
concern.-Philadelphia Ledger.

JUMPED FROM THE TRAIN.
A Novel Way of Shutting Off the
Mortal Coil,

Yesterday morning Justice R. A.
Marshall of Burbank, in the absence OF
Coroner Weldon, went down to Comp
ton to hold an inquest upon the body Of
William Walter, the negro who COM
mitted suicide on Thursday morning by
hurting himself from a moving train
about mile north of that place.
Conductor f. G. Fitzgerald testified to
having seen the man on his train,
which left the Arcade depot fer San
Pedro at 9 80 O'Clock a. m. As he col
lected the negro's ticket, Walter re-
marked that he would probably be
brought back dead. In further CONVEX
sation he told the witness that he had
had trouble with his wife and was going
to San Pedro to kill somebody or
get killed. After leaving Compton
the witness missed his colored passen-
ger, but knew nothing of the affair until
he reached San Pedro, where he re-
ceived telegram notifying him that his
train had struck a man neal Compton.
Seymour H. Sitter, farm hand at
Lynwood, testified to having found the
negro lying unconscious at the side of
the track, with two wounds on his head.
Several men from the Los Angeles Paper
company's mill near by also saw him
before he was removed to the hotel at
Compton. DIR. A. l.. Holcombe attended
to the injured man, but his efforts were
futile, as the negro's skull was frac-
tured, and he died at 80 O'Clock yes
terday morning, never having recovered
consciousness.
Walters wife, who resides at San
Pedro, was notified of her husbands
death, but she was not present at the
inquest.
The jury returned an open verdict,
generating the trainmen from all
blame.

IRASCIBLE GAULS,
John Peter Goytino Causes the Arrest
of Another Frenchman.


John Peter Coy ytino, the able editor of
the Progres.Californien, had little alter
cation yesterday morning on Also street
which, for several minutes, threatened
to turn into violent conflict. 1t did
not, however, although his peace was
nervously disturbed. His opponent was
Chas. Benz, who claims that Mr.. Coy
tino has not been as complimentary to
him IN the columns of his paper as he
should have wished. Mr.. Benz, it is
understood, has avowed the purpose of
thrashing Goytino on sight, and when
he advanced on him yesterday morning
in threatening manner with a raised
cane, Goytino thought OF the old say
ing: "When Greek meets Greek, then
comes the tug of war;" In this case it
was not to be tug, but bluff, and the
editors superior bluff carried the day.
He was not touched by his opponent,
although few hard names We're hurled
at John Peter. They struck so hard and
stuck so much in his craw that he had
Mr. Benz arrested for disturbing his
peace.

BUTLER'S CLAIM.
He Wants Pay or Will Shut Up
Santa Fe Avenue.

Street Superintendent Morford was
considerably worried yesterday over a
notice which had been posted up by
man named Butler on his property on
Santa Fe avenue, near the south patent
boundary line of the city. Itwas to the
effect that unless he received the
amount he claimed to be due from the
city for hall the street, which has just
been opened at that place, on or before
the 26th inst, he would close the street.
After consulting with the city attorney,
city clerk and chief of police on the sub
ject, Colonel w. L. Morford resolved to
wait until that date before taking any
action, and should Mr.. Butler carry his
threat into execution, to at once have
him arrested for Obstructlng public
thoroughfare.

Who Reads an American Magazine


"Our American magazines are now
winning a gigantic circulation in Great
Britain" according to the publisher of
one of them, who spoke ON the subject
yesterday. 81 have no doubt" he said,
"that nearly 100,00 copies of our four
leading magazines are sold every month
on the otherside OF the Atlantic. They are
found by British readers to be far more
entertaining and instructive than any of
the British monthlies, and the profus-
ion of thei, illustrations adds greatly to
their attractiveness. The leading think
ers of all the countries of the world are
to be found among their writers and
prices are paid for their work such as
they cannot elsewhere procure. Then,
again, it appears that many British
readers are becoming very fond OF the
productions of some of our own Ameri
can quill-drivers. ."-[New York Sun.

While small boy was walking up the
railroad near the Central depot a few
days since, carrying an umbrella, he was
suddenly taken up by whirlwind and
carried over the large water tank near
that place and set down on the other
side without the slightest injury. He
presented quite an odd appearance sus-
pended from the umbrella in midair.
