THE GROCERS' EXCURSION.
The Celebration at POmOna-Thefl
Visit to This Oily.

The Celebration at POmOna-Their
Visit to This CITY.
The excursion of the New England
grocers and fruit and produce dealers
arrived in Pomona Friday evening at 7
O'Clock. They were met at the depot
by committee from the Board of Trade
of Pomona and also by three representa-
tives of the citizens of Los Angeles
Mayor Hazard, General John r. Ma
thews and Secretary Patton, of the
Chamber of Commerce. The silver COR
net band of Pomona WAS on hand to give
the visitors serenade.
The party was then escorted up to the
Polomares hotel, where an informal re.
ception took place, and the prominent
citizens of Pomona introduced them
selves to the visitors. The New Eng
landers were found to be very compan-
ionabie set of men, thoroughly repre-
tentative of the section from which they
came. 1t appeared that they were
already pleasantly impressed with the
country, and were very favorably dis
posed toward Southern California.
At in the evening the doors of the
dining-room were opened, and cold col
lation was served at table magnifcently
decorated with flowers and fruits. The
walls and ceiling of the room had been
hung with rich clusters of citrus pro-
ducte. The visitors were enthusiastic in
their expressions of admiration.
The banquet was given under the
auspices of the Board of Trade, and
Stoddard Jess. the president of that
organization, presided. The first toast
was proposed by him and responded to
by Benjamin johnson, the editor of the
Ne,U England Grocer, who organized and
manages the excursion. The toast was
"New England Grocers." 1t might be
remarked that in spite of the fact that
Pomona ID prohibition town, the toasts
we're drunk with wine.
The next toast, "Los Angeles, the
Metropolis and Capital of the
Future State of Southern Califor.
nia," was responded to by Mayor
Henry Hazard. He told how on
his first trip to California he saw empty
cans labeled "Baked Beans. Boston, !"
lying along the road, which forever estab.
lished in his mlnd connection between
New England and this great State. The
toast of "The Manufacturers'' was re.
sponded to in an effective manner by T.
P. Beals. of Portland, Maine. The
toast of ''Fruit Growers was responded
to by General John R. Mathews in a
speech which evoked much applause.
F. d. Jones, one of the visitors, was
called upon to respond to the toast of
HFrom Maine to California" He de-
tailed in enthusiastic terms the satisfac-
ton which the excursionists had expert
enced in their visit to California as far as
it had gone. FL. G. Tinsley replied to
the toast of "The Press" and Secretary
Patton to "The Chamber of Commerce.
At the conclusion of the speaking, Mr..
Johnson announced that the train would
leave for Raymond at 1915 in the morn
ing, but that the people of Pomona were
desirous of taking the visitors for drive
in the morning. He said that break
fast would be ordered at 5:45, SO rs to
give plenty of time to seeing the country.
It instances the enthusiasm of the
visitors that they were all ready yester-
day morning at o'clock to enter the
carriages which the citizens of Pomona

A Broken Hip.

Shortly after noon yesterday an old
expressman named Morris Russell was
driving his team, attached to light
spring wagon, along Hill street when
the horses bolted suddenly and got be-
yond his control. Russell, however,
clung to his lines and kept the runaway
team in the middle of the road until they
reached the corner of First street. Here
the animals turned sharply and cramped
the vehicle, which WAS upset, and the
old man fell underneath it and was
dragged for some distance down the
hill before the team was stopped. When
picked up it was found that his right hip
was broken in two places, and he was
conveyed to the city prison, where there
is no provision for patients, for medical
treatment. DIR. Wing was called in and
set the injured limb, and the old man
was removed to the Sisters Hospital a
few hours later. A mounted officer was
dispatched to his home, No. 80 York
street, by the Chief of Police, to ascer-
tain whether his four young motherless
children were in need of anything, and
Humane Officer Wright was requested to
look after them during their fathers en-
forced idlanesa

LOCAL MELANGE.
Accused of Selling the Same
Lets Twice.
THE VISITING GROCERYMEN.
They Are Entertained by Banquet
at P0mOna-Other Items OF
Interest.

Gilbert L. Dennison, a real estate agent
residing at No. 215 Courthouse street
WAS yesterday arrested upon a warrant
charging him with having sold lot in
the McGee tract at Pasadena to two diff
ferent parties, without having first gained
the consent Of the buyer in the first in.
stance. After arraignment he was re.
leased upon filing bonds in the sum Of
1880 to ensure his appearance. The
complainant. an old gentleman named
DR.. Risley, alleges that in January, 1887.
he purchased lot in the said tract from
Dennison for $500, upon which he paid
5000 down and received q contract
for the same. In March of the
same year, however, DR.. Risley found
by the records that Dennison had sold
the same lot to L. F. Scott, representa-
tive of the Santa Fe Railway Company,
for $1,000. He at once taxed Denni-
son with having duplicated the sale, but
the real estate dealer denied the transac-
ton. Learning that the doctor had seen
the matter on record, he admitted it
and offered the old gentleman q check
for the amount of his deposit, 5000, on
the First National Bank of Pasadena.
This, it is alleged, was dishonored on
presentation to the president of the bank,
Mr.. Greene, and since that time DR..
Risley states that he has been unable to
obtain any satisfaction.
An investigation was made, and the
matter was put into the hands of De-
tective 7. D. Mccarthy. 1t was found
hot sosr
lots in the MCGEE tract, of which he sold
and gave contracts for forty-three, leav-
ing seventeen only in his own name. A
statement is in the hands of the police
stating that he subsequently, resold the
whole tract to L. F. Scott. the repre-
sentative of the Santa Fe Railroad Com
pany, for $50, 900 without the consent or
knowledge OF the parties by whom the
lots had been already purchased.
In order to account for this pecu-
liar transaction, Dennison is said
to have called upon some of his victims
with the statement that he had found
that his title was not clear to the prop
erty, and he would therefore be unable
to make the Improvements agreed upon.
To others, it is alleged. he stated that be-
fore the first sale he had agreed to deed
cAO AN'o w WIZ COSShu DHity, Uub uuluk-
ing that the agreement was void he had
disposed of them again, only to find that
the parties held him to his agreement.
BY these means he succeeded in per-
suading several of his victims to turn
the lots back to him, but those who re-
fused to listen to his stories met with the
same fate as DR.. Risley. The number of
Dennison's alleged victims is unknown,
but it was reported at police headquar-
ters yesterday that among them are
J. A. Mariner, G. H. Blake, three Harri-
man brothers, w. 81. .Dunton, G. 81.
Williams, Mrs. Stanwood, and Miss
Coburn, who is alleged to have lost her
mind through the loss of her property
and money. 1t is rumored that Denni.
son is engaged to two young ladies, one
of whom is a reuident in this city, the
other living in the vicinity of Lamanda
Park, but the truth of this statement
cannot be vouched for.

Tour youths, who, it is said, reported Tor
duty last evening some five minutes or more
after the appointed hour. This not being
to their liking, they formulated bill OF
rights, and after making their demands
known to the Manager, who refused to ac-
cede to the propositions, Quit work.
The boys demanded three things: First
to have two Sundays off in a month where
they have none now, but work every night
during the month; second, to be allowed fif-

third, to insist upon the discharge of a Chi.
