A STOVE AND A LAMP
Cause the Exercise of the Fire De-
partment.

The fire department was unnecessa.
rily called out twice last night within
an hour, much to the disgust of the
brigade, who turned out with commend
able promptitude on both occasions.
f., The first alarm was rung in at 9:3O
O'Clock from box 81, for small coal-oi
explosion at a French lodging house al
the junction of Main and New Main
streets, which was extinguished before
any damage res ulted.
Twenty minutes later box Al was
turned in, and the engines ran to Fifth
and Wall streets; but no sign OF blaze
of any description could be discerned
and they returned to their houses. The
matter was finally traced to the residence
of Mrs. Hamble, number 416 Wall street,
where it was learned that a coal oil
lamp had exploded in one of the rooms,
but had been promptly thrown out of
the window by that lady. Mrs. Handle,
when seen by a HERALD reporter, who
called toinvestigate the matter, was very
indignant at what she termed the un-
warrantable intrusion of man in blue
uniform, whose breast was adorned by
big badge. This man. she said, had
endeavored to forcibly effect an entrance
into the house, in spite of the fact that
she, from the interior, told him that
there was no fire there.

ANOTHER VICTIM.
Christian Science Fails to Cure a Ma
lignant AbsceSs,

Coroner Weldon was summoned to
Pasadena yesterday to hold an inquest
upon the body of Mrs. Manlove, Chris
tian scientist. who died on Wednesday
morning at her residence on North
Marengo avenue, under somewhat pc
culiar circumstances.
Some three months ago Mrs. Manlove,
who was suffering from an abscess be-
hind her right ear, called upon DR.. Van
Slyck at his office for medical treatment
The abscess was lanced and the patient
made two more visits, but on learning
that an operation must necessarily be
performed, she refused to accept the
physicians ultimatum as final, and
sought relief among the Christian
scientists. She was treated by
Miss H. G. Sharp of this city,
and in addition received absent
treatment from Mrs. Perrett,
result was the death OF the patient, after
weeks of intense suffering, which in all
probability would not have occurred had
an operation been performed, as sug-
gested by regular practitioner.
The jury, on learning the facts as
above recorded, returned the following
verdict:
''That the deceased came to her death
by an abscess behind her left ear, which,
as long ago as May 18th, she was advised
by a reputable physician needed careful
and scientific treatment. Afterward,
and up to the time of her death, she re-
fused to accept or solicit the aid of any
regular physician, relying for a healing
upon the so-called Christian SCIENCE"

CAPTAIN MOODY
Arrested on Charge of Assault BY a
Garvanza Constable.

The LAWSON Moody trouble is again to
be aired through the medium of the law
and in fact, the machinery of the JUS
tees courts was set in motion for the
third time in this matter yesterday af-
ternoOn.
In order to get even with Moody for
his action in the matter, A. B. Lawson
paid visit to the district attorneys
office yesterday and procured COM
plant against his former lieutenant,
charging him with having assaulted him
with deadly weapon. This document
was filed with Justice P. E. King, of
Garvanza,- who, while sitting for Justice
Lockwood, heard the case against the
Lawson brothers and discharged them
both few days ago. The result was
that Capt. Moody was arrested by
Justice Kings Fright bower" Con-
stable w. H. McCutchen, of Garvanza,
at 4 80 O'Clock yesterday afternoon,
while he was talking with Emil Harris,
the detective. Upon being served with
a warrant, Moody at once accompanied
the constable to the city Justices court,
over which Justice King was presiding
He was then arranged and placed under
bonds in the sum of $500 to appear for
examination at Garvanza, on the 9th
instant. Emil Harrisat once volunteered
as one of Moody's securities in the re-
quired amount, and subsequently his
brother, Max Harris, performed a like
service.
Captain Moody was seen by HERALD
reporter last night, and among other
things made the following remarkable
statement: ''After Emil Harris had
qualified as one of my bondsmen in the
sum OF $4,000, left the courtroom,
accompanied by the constable, to hunt
up another surety. AS we were walking
along Spring street, we met Justice
King, who suggested that as it was
nearly five O'Clock, we should meet him
at the court house and arrange the
matter of the bond, when
1 secured another bondsman. l asked
him why it was that he had put me un-
der $4,000 bonds, when the others who
had been charged with graver otfense
had been only required to furnish $2,-
600 bonds. King replied that A. B.
Lawson had requested him to make the
bond in the sum of 50 500, but as he did
not wish to be hard on me he would
,uake it $1,000 only. This was agreed
upon, and Max Harris qualifying in that
amount, was released from custody.

THE GIRL DENIES
That Alexander Attempted to Assault
Her

Her.
Justice Austin was occupied the
whole of yesterday in the preliminary
examination of the case against R. A.
Alexander, charged with having as
saulted thirteen year old girl named
Gussie Stoermer, with intent to commit
rape, on the Sth inst. The testimony of
the four witnesses for the prosecution,
which occupied the time of the court
from 8 80 O'Clock until the noon recess,
merely reiterated the story as has been
already published.
On resuming the hearing at 2 O'Clock
in the afternoon number OF witnesses
were called to testify to the good
character of the defendant, among them
being such well known citizens as Coun-
Gilman G.. McLain and M. L. Wicks.
Mrs. Frank Sullivan, the defendants
sister, testified to having been with
Gussie all afternoon on the day in
question, and stated that no such oc-
currence as that sworn to by the wit
nesses for the prosecution took place.
The girl Gussie Stoermer also denied most
emphaticaily that the defendant took un-
due liberties with her or that any such
scene as that described by the three men
and boy who appeared for the state,
occurred. This closed the case for the
defense. who expressed their desire for
the court to visit the premises before
rendering its decision. Accordingly the
case was continued until this morning at
9 40 O'Clock

BLED TO DEATH.
THE FATE OF GEORGE E. EDGERLY
OF POMONA.
He Dies From the Effect of Hemorrhage-
Taken III in the Street-A Well Known
Resident of Pomona.

At half past six o'clock last evening,
a gentlemen named Max Kaufman
was sitting in chair on the shoeblack's
stand in front of the Cabinet saloon on
Second street, when young man carry
ing two paper bags, such as are used by
fruiterers, approached from Main street,
and YEARLY sat down upon the step at
his feet. Mr.. Kaufman glanced at the
strangers face and noticing that he was
terribly pale, and apparently gasping
for breath, asked him ii he felt sick.
The stranger nodded affirmatively and
Kaufman then asked if he wanted a
doctor, to which he again replied by
nod. At that instant the sick man
swayed unsteadily, and fell prone upon
the tiled floor, bleeding profusely at the
mouth and nose.
The patrol wagon was summoned, and
the unfortunate man was raised tenuerly
and laid upon stretcher, on which he
was carried as hastily possible to the
receiving hospital by Sergeant Morton
and officer Farmer. On depositing their
burden on the operating table to await
the arrival of a physician, the officers
were surprised to find that the man was
dead
DR.. II. B. Wing, who responded to
summons by telephone front the station,
arrived a few minutes after the man had
been taken to the hospital and at once
pronounced the case beyond reach of hu
man skill.
The mans clothing was searched
in order to find papers or marks
which would establish his iden
tity, when it was learned that
his name was George E. Edgerley, and
that he was rancher, residing at Pomo-
ma. That he was en- route to Oakland
was conclusively shown by the fact that
he had a ticket from Pomona to that
place, and also a Pullman sleeping car
berth ticket dated yesterday. The paper
bags he was carrying at the time of his
sickness were found to contain fruit,
cheese and crackers. Among other doc
uments were found papers showing that
he was member in high standing of
the Masonic lodge at Orange, Massachu-
sets, also of Corinthian lodge, Inde-
pendent Order of Odd Fellows, and
Greenfield Encampment, No. 81, of
Greenfield, Massachusetts. His purse
contained $S5 in notes and gold.
Edgerley, who was about 35 years of
age, leaves wife and family. He had
resided at Pomona for the past four
years, and was universally respected in
the community.
Coroner Weldon was notified OF the
sad occurrence, and at once assumed
charge OF the body, which was removed
to the parlors of Messrs. Orr & Sutch, to
await an inquest, which will be held to-
day.

WILL THIS STRAIGHTEN IT?
Not Much Comfort Here as the Clouds
Gather Thick for Rain.

UNIVERSITY, Cal, Sept. II, 1890.
EDITORS HERALD-My attention has
been called to your little article in Sun
days paper entitled 'The River at Riv-
era," in which you say:
1t is also expected that the county will
stand in with the people in this matter
quite literally. A friend of Supervisor
Davis, in discussing the matter with a
HERALD reporter last week, said he
thought it would be very much wiser to
spend little money on the river at this
point, even if some other projects of the
board of supervisors should suffer neg
lect. "For instance" said the granger,
81 would be willing that the expert who
got 81, 200 for discovering a possible ir-
regularity in the tax collectors books
should be paid less for his services, the
value of which to the county is dubious,
and certainly not worth what they cost,
and | would be glad to have the money
saved put into strengthening the river
here. l expect my friend, Supervisor
Davis, will see to this
would say to the "Friend of Super
visor Davis" that Supervisor Davis is
in full sympathy with every effort OF
the people in Strengthening the river,-
that as supervisor he has done and
will always do all the law will permit
and his colleagues sanction in that be-
half.
would further say to the "Friend of
Supervisor Davis" that the board Of
supervisors has not paid $1,000 to an
expert, to discover possible irregular

itv in the tax-collector's books. But
that after the collection of the sum ol
about 81 800, 900 by the tax-collector, in
accordance with former custom and in
obedience to what the board deemed its
duty, especially after having irregular
tiles brought to their attention. they
did have the tax-collector's books ex-
ported twice, at cost of $702, (this GOV.
cred all from first to last, and found in
his hands unaccounted for, $57O.19.
Subsequently they found that he had
received more or less money as fees for
making out tax deeds which he had not
paid over, as required by law, to the
treasurer.
They applied to the tax collector for a
report of this and he refused to furnish
it; again they employed an expert to as
certain the amount of his delinquency
and found it to be 1912, which amount
the board directed suit to be
commenced for, after which the tax col
iiector paid it over, his bondsmen help
ing him.
am sorry the "Frend of Supervisor
Davis' does not approve of this work OF
the board. But if he will look at sub
division of section 25. county govern
ment act, he will find that the law i'm
poses the duty on them, and by that !
trust they may find pardon for disturb
ing his friend, the tax collector,
In conclusion l would like to ask the
Friend of Supervision Davis" if he
would have praised or condemned the
board of supervisors, if they had not
caused the accounts of his friend Platt
to have been examined and he called to
settle his delinquencies. Au revoir,
A. f. DAVIS, Supervisor.

HIGH SCHOOL ALUMNI.
An Attempt to Be Made to Reorgan-
ize the Society,

For some time past it has been mat
ter OF regret to both the graduates and
friends of the high school that the old
alumni association has been allowed to
disband. Its annual reunions and re-
ceptions are pleasantly remembered by
all those who took an active interest in
the high school. Therefore, since the
old society is practically dead, some of
the graduates have interested them
selves in its revival on stronger basis
than formerly. The present is deemed
good opportunity to revive this useful
society, in view of the approaching
completion OF the new high school
building. 1t is to be hoped that the
alumni society will earnestly take hold
and participate in dedicating the new
high school building to public useful
ness. All alumni interested are request
ed to meet tomorrow Saturday evening
at 7:30, in the law Office of Charles
Lantz, rooms % and 23 Fulton building,
on New High street, near Franklin.

DR. TALMAGE IN NEW YORK.
Arrangements Made to Have Him Preach in the Academy of Music Sunday Nights.

Arrangements Made to Have Him Preach in the Academy of Music Sunday Nights.
 Several engagements for sacred con- serts on Sunday evenings at the Acad- emy of Music, New York, were can celed by the management, as the house has been leased to The Christian Her aid for the remaining Sunday evenings of the present year.
 Considerable speculation was in dulged in as to the object of this move on the part of a religious journal. A reporter called at the offices of The Christian Herald, at the Bible House, and saw MT. Sandison, the business manager, in regard to the matter.
 ''We have nothing more or less in view" said Mir. Sandison, ''than to af- ford New York audiences convenient opportunity to hear Dr. Talmage, who has preached nearly everywhere except in this city. When we first learned that the Tabernacle trustees had de- cided not to resume evening services in Brooklyn until the completion of the new Tabernacle, we determined to per suade him to come over to New York for whatever number of Sunday even ings he may have at his disposal. We found it very easy work. The doctor was glad of the opportunity and prompt ly embraced it.
 'He positively refused to accept any compensation, and, moreover, agreed to induce Professor Eyre Brown. the Tabernacle organist, and the cornetist, choir and ushers of his congregation to volunteer their services on these occa- sions. The expense for the academy about $3, ,C0O-will be provided for by The Christian Herald, and the entire plate collections and whatever other surplus may arise from voluntary con- tributions will be distributed among the hospitals of New York city without regard to religious preference.
 ''The trustees of the Tabernacle are delighted with this arrangement, as they realize that while not at all inter fering with the morning services, which will be continued at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, it affords to New Workers more convenient opportunity than any they have ever had of hear ing Dr. Talmage without crossing the bridpe"

IN THE HOLY CITY.

After have been ten thousand years in heaven the memory of that first view from the rocks on the afternoon of December 3 will be as vivid as now. An Arab on horse that was like 8 whirlwind, bitted and saddled and spurred, its mane and Hanks jet as the night-and there are no such horse men as Arab horsemen-had come far out to meet us, and invite us to his hotel inside the gates. But arrange ments had been made for us to stay at a hotel outside the gates In the dusk of evening we halted in front of the place and entered, but said: ''No, thank you for your courteous recep- tion, but l must sleep tonight inside the gates of Jerusalem would rather have the poorest place inside the gates than the best place outside" So we remounted our coach and moved on amid a clamor of voices, and between camels grunting with great beams and timbers on their backs, brought in for building purposes-for it is amazing how much a camel can carry-until we came to what is called the Joppa Gate of Jerusalem. It is about forty feet wide, twenty feet deep and sixty feet high. There is a sharp turn just after you have entered, so planned as to make the entrance of armed enemies the more difficult.
 On the structure of these gates the safety of Jerusalem depended, and ali the Bible writers used them for illustra- tions Within five minutes walk of the gate we entered David wrote: "Enter into thy gates with thanksgiving" Lift up your heads, o, ye gates!" 'The Lord loveth the gates of Zion" ''Open to me the gates of righteous ness" And Isaiah wrote, 'Go through, go through the gates" And the captive of Patmos wrote, ''The city had twelve gates" Having passed the gate we went on through the narrow streets dimly lighted, and passed to our halt ing place, and sat down by the window from which we could see Mount Zion, and said, ''Here we are at last, in the capital of the whole earth" And thoughts of the past and future rushed through my soul in quick succession, and I thought of that old hymn, sung by so many ascending spirits:
 E Jerusalem, my happy home,
 Name ever dear to me! When shall my labors have an end, [ In joy and peace and thees
 When shall these eyes thy heav'n built walls E And pearly gates behold2
 Thy bulwarks with salvation strong, t And streets of shining gold9
 | And so with our hearts full of grati- tude to God for journeying mercies all | the way from Joppa to Jerusalem, and with bright anticipation of our en- trance into the shining gate of the | heavenly city when earthly journeys are over, my second day in Palestine Is \ ended. .-
