CITY AFFAIRS.
The Meeting of the Board
of Public Works.
The Grade of First Street is
Considered.
The st. James Park Likely to Be-
long to the Municipality.
The Zanja Committee Meets and Makes
Several Recommendations-Ot
Matters Discussed.

The Board OF. Public Works met yes
terday morning, and large portion of
its time was taken up with the propo-
sition of changing the grade of First
street from Broadway to it's western ex-
tremity. A short time ago a petition,
purporting to be agreed to by all the
property-owners, was presented to the
Council, requesting that the grade of
First street be fixed in a certain way
described in the petition. The street,
when completed, was to have a six-foot
rise at all street crossings, but when the
ordinance OF intention to change the
grade was adopted by the Council, it
was found that the rise at street cross
ings had only been made four feet, and
that the rest of the grade had remained
as desired in the petition. This made a
difference of six or seven feet at
Grand avenue, and the property-owners
entered a protest. Proceedings were
then stopped, and the matter was re-
ferred to the Board of Public Works.
Since that time a movement to cut the
hill down or to construct a tunnel
through it has been started, and meet
ing was held at the Chamber of Com
merce rooms during the week to discuss
the proposition. No action was taken
in the matter, and the argument was
carried before the Board of Public
Works yesterday a number of those
interested in having each of the grades
adopted were present, and the cost of the
improvement was estimated from good
many standpoints. No conclusion was
reached by the Board OF Public Works.
No decision was reached in the matter
of the acceptance OF st. James park.
The board expressed itself of the opinion
that one of the streets leading into the
park should be cut through the block by
Mr.. Ellis before the park is accepted. A
condition to the acceptance of the park
is that the city shall grade Scarf street at
it's own expense, and it has not yet been
decided whether this shall be done.
The board will make the following rec
concentrations to the Council on Mon
day
That on the communication of the
street commissioners in regard to the
opening of Sixth street, asking that Geo
Kerckhotf be given until July ], 1890, to
remove improvements and distractions
from said street, the same be granted.
Refer the resolution of Mr.. Wirching
in the matter of the bill OF Major Tober-
man for assessment on Orange street
grading to the Council without recom-
mendation.
That on the petition of Asa Adams
asking that 30-inch pipe be laid in the
Arroyo de los Reyes, connecting
Flower and Hope streets, the City En-
gineer be instructed to prepare plans
for piping said arroyo.
That the Street Superintendent be in
structed to repave the intersection OF
Broadway and Sixth streets, SO that the
water will not stand at the northwest
corner of said intersection.
That the Street Superintendent be in
structed to put the intersection of Han
cock and George streets in passabe
condition.

THE BANK COMMISSION.
c. H. Dunsmoor Will Not Take Office
Till July.

y
The appointment of County Clerk G.
II. Dunsmoor as Bank Commissioner is
to take the place of A. W. Potts, Mr..
Dunsmoor's predecessor in the Clerks
office. So Dunsmoor seems to have a
prediction for following Potts. Mr..
Hubbell, before appointed to the place is
not our Judge Hubbell, but San Diego
man. 1t is even now somewhat pre-
mature action on the part of the Gov
ernor, as Mr.. Potts's term of Office will
not expire until July 10th next. The
commission is for four years and the in
cumbent can be removed only for NAL
feasance in Office. The salary is $3,000a
year and travelling expenses.
Mr.. Dunsmoor will not resign
as Clerk before next July, and then the
Board of Supervisors Will fill the va
cancy. 1t is very probable that A. n.
Hamilton, the Councilman from the
Sixth ward, will get the place, and that
he will be the next Republican nominee
for the place.
The appointment of Dunsmoor will
not be in the line of harmony in the g.
o. p. 1t is pretty well understood that
he is to be Waterman boomer from
this out, and that will stir up the hos
tility of the anti-Waterman crowd. This
will extend to Hamilton too, as he and
Dunsmoor are pretty close friends.

NEWS OF THE RAIL.
EFFECT OF THE REDUCED ORANGE
RATES ALREADY FELT.
General Notes and Personals-Surprise at
the Resignation of Creed Raymond.
Tourist Excursion Travel.

The effect of the reduction in rates on
orange freight to Missouri river points
and to Chicago is already showing itself.
An orange special OF twenty-eight cars
left yesterday on the Santa Fe line.
Both the railroads are doing very good
freight business in these days. The
orange shipments, which last year were
nearly all completed by the middle of
April, will probably last into May this
year.
The Southern Pacific directors car,
which has been in Southern California
for several days, went north yesterday
afternoon. 1t carried w. G.. Curtis, Di-
rector Hubbard and other Southern Pa
ciic officials.
Samuel D. Taylor, chief engineer of
the Jacksonville and Southwestern rail
road, is stopping in Los Angeles.
The announcement that Greed Hay
mond, the attorney of the Southern
Pacific Company, would offer his resig-
nation at the next meeting of the Board
of Directors, created a good deal of com
ment among railway men Yesterday.
None of the Southern Pacific officials in
this city had any reasonable theory to
offer as to the cause of the resignation.
A gentleman who was formerly with the
Southern Pacific Company and is we'll
acquainted with Mr.. Haymond, re-
marked to reporter of this paper yes
terday, that short time ago he heard
Mr.. Raymond speaking rather bitterly
of the ungratefulness of corporations.
from which he infers that there NAV
have been some sort of an unpleasant
misunderstanding between Mr.. Hay
mond and the company which he has
SO often represented in the courts of the
State.
The attempt OF the Eastern railroads
to head off tourist excursion travel by
refusing to carry passengers in tourist
cars at second-class rates appears to have
been prostrated. A telegram received
from New York by A. Phillips & Co.,
yesterday, states that their Mr.. A.
Phillips has consummated arrangements
that will allow them to run tourist cars
through to New York and Boston for
their excursions as heretofore.
The earnings Of the Santa Fe during
the first two months of this year show
an increase of over $4,000 over the
earnings of similar period last year.
This is due to the improvement of busi-
ness in Southern California, but more
especially to the large crops in the State
OF Kansas, where, during the last two
years, the crops were almost total fail
ures. The profits have also been IN ate
rally affected by the large reduction OF
expenses brought about by the new
management

A CONSTABLE'S ARREST.
He is Accused of Falsely Imprisoning
Santiago Marquee.


Constable M. II. Grain, of Lancaster,
was yesterday arrested and taken before
Justice Savage in the Township Court for
arraignment upon the charge of having
on the 18th ult. falsely imprisoned one
Santiago Marquee at Germans station,
by arresting and detaining him without
proper authority for so doing. He was
ordered to appear for examination on
Saturday next, the 18th inst, bail being
required meanwhile in the sum of 5000.
The complainant is at present incarcer-
ated within the county Jail on a commit
ment issued by Justice Hall upon his
conviction for vagrancy, and he claims
that he has been unjustly treated in the
matter. In an interview with a reporter
Yesterday, Grain said:
81 was the one who worked up the
evidence for the prosecution in the case
against w. o. Wheeling in the recent
murder trial, and for that reason alone |
made many enemies, and this is not the
first time Wheeling's friends have had
me arrested on some trumped-up charge.
In regard to this present charge, Mar
quez was one OF two tramps who have
been arrested on several occasions, and
complaint was made against him, and |
was called upon to arrest him. He had
been annoying all the residents around
Burbank and elsewhere by begging. l
found him. He was tried and convicted
and placed in the county Jail, and now
they are endeavoring to use him as
tool against me. Why, | have been told
repeatedly that if l did not leave that
section l would be put out of the way.
l am constantly on the lookout, but as
long as | am in office / shall do my duty,
let come what will. This Tweedy muir

ABOUT LABOR.
Mr.. Humphreys Suggestions About the
Unemployed.

Unemployed.
Mr.. John F. Humphreys has sent the
following letter to Mr.. Fellows:
Los ANGELES, Cal, April 4, 80.
Mr. Geo. FeUoWS
DEAR SIR-Pardon me for this sugges-
ton, but / thought it might be of service
to you in good cause, in which you are
SO nobly struggling. For the past two
days lin company with Judge Haskell,
of the S. 2. r. R. have been upon the
Santa Clara river, where the owners of
the Southern Pacific contemplate run
ming across my ranch and other lands in
its change between Lang's and Newhall
"a work it is said will require large
force until December). Twas informed by
one party that they had 1900 China
men at $1.15 per day, and by another
that there was 200 Cinnamon at $1.30
doing the work-at all events it's China
men. 1t impressed me that if a petit
ton was sent to Senator Stanford
by the two thousand labo rers you named
to me anxious to go to work, that he
would at least give them the preference
over the Cinnamon, and might even go
further and allow them the additional
sum per day that white man is worth
over Chinaman, especially when the
work is so near us III our own county,
and more particularly so at this time
when he is liable to call upon them this
fall indirectly for little assistance"
But be it as it may, the men may con-
clude to do as | am doing in my work
this "off year Of depression" When l
see a man doing his best to sell his
$4,000 property for $1,000, am willing
to take half commission, preferring
half loaf to no bread. Respectfully yours,
JNo. +. HUMPHREYS.

Demonstrated His Own Proposition.

While an important trial was going on
In one of the parts OF the superior
court, the other day, says the New ork
Tribune, a lawyer who thinks the world
revoives about him came in. He VAS
one Of the kind WHO'S usually described
by the elective which is more express
sive than elegant, 'Iresh." The chairs
in the room were all occupied. One of
the court officers was sitting near the
connseis table, listening 10 the proceed
ings. The new conner went over and
stood be hindthe officer for some time,
gIaring at him as though he expected
the latter to Jump up and give him his
seat. Finally the man IN the chair
turned, saw the laSyer, and recognizing
him, got up and said politely:
Excuse me, will you have this
chair ?''
The legal light scowled harder than
ever. and az he removed his oyercoat he
muttered, so loudly that those IN his
immediate vicinity could hear him:
"Well. fools will tumble if you give
them time enough"
Then he threw his coat over the back
of the chair and turned to sit down.
The weight OF the coat tipped over the
chair, so that the lawyer when he at
tempted to sit down went SPRAYING on
the floor. He got up, and the first
words he uttered were directed to the
officer.

The Fourteen Mistakes OF Life.


Somebody has condensed the mis-
takes of life, and arrived at the conclu-
sion that there are fourteen of them.
Most people would say, If they told the
truth, that there is no limit to the mis-
takes of life; that they are like drops in
the ocean, or the sands on the shore i'll
number; but it is as well to be accurate.
Here, then, are fourteen great mistakes:
1t ia great mistake to set up our own
standard of right and wrong, and Judge
people accordingly; to measure the en-
loyment of others by our own; to ex-
pect uniformity of opinion in this
world; to look for judgment and ex-
perience in youth; to endeavor to
mould all dispositions alike; not to
yield to immatefisl trifies; to look for
perfection in our own actions; to worry
ourselves and others with what cannot
be remedied; not to alleviate all that
needs alienation, as far as lies in our
power; not to make allowances for the
infrmitIes of others; to consider every
thing impossible that we cannot per-
form; to believe only what our finite
minds can grasp: to expect to be able to
understand everything. The greatest
of mistakes is to live for time alone,
when any moment may launch us into
ETERNITY
