Second ice-President Germain called

had been obtained for 500.
There was some inquiry as to the
Secretary Patton stated that money
would be found in every fund after all
bills had been paid. Captain Barrett
introduced motion, which was adopted,
instructing the secretary and treasurer
to make semi-monthly reports of the
finances to the directors, beginning
with the next meeting.
The matter of selecting two represen-
tatives to the convention of worlds fair
delegates, which will meet in San Fran
cisco on September 11th, then came up.
There was not much discussion about it,
however, for Director Wells came to his
feet with a motion that the secretary
cast ballot for Major E. W. Jones and
Hon. Eugene German.
Captain Barrett thought that it was
time for the chamber to take some action
about preparing for the Chicago worlds
fair, and proposed another motion,
which was adopted, to the effect that the
secretary be instructed to send circu-
lar letter to each member of the cham
ber, requesting their attendance at a
special meeting of the chamber, to be
held on Saturday afternoon, July 26th,
at O'Clock, for the purpose of organic

step towards gaining united action from
Southern California localities.

AN INQUEST.
A Boy Dies Under Peculiar Circum.
stances,

Coroner Weldon held an inquest yes
terday at San Gabriel upon the body OF
.Bartolo San Miguel native of Califor-
mia, 10 years OF age, who died on We'd
nesday night from natural causes.
From the testimony taken before the
jury it was learned that the boy, who
had been sick for the past four weeks,
became so much worse on Monday that
his father summoned DIR. d. B. Van
Slyck, of Pasadena. On his arrival the
physician found the boy unconscious and
paralyzed on his right side. Upon dag
nosing the case, he came to the conclusion
that the patient was suffering from
cerebro spinal meningitis, and that there
was very little hope of his re-
coyery. He SO informed the boys
parents, and on his next visit on
the followi ing day pronounced the case
beyond human aid. The boys mother
and aunt stated that the father had
whipped and kicked him; but this was
denied by the father, when examined
subsequently by the coroner. A very
loose state of morals was elected from
the testimony of the latter, who stated
that he had not lived with his wife for
nearly year, during which time he

Street Car Line.
Statements that 1t Is Sold to
the Cable Company.
The Result of Mr.. Crank's Visit to
Chicago.
General Chapman's Views of the East.
An Inquest on Small
Boys Death.

When Hon. j. F. Crank goes to Chi
cago he always returns with something
in his pocket which profits him consid
erably in particular, and Los Angeles in
general. Some years ago he went to
Chicago, dickered around little and
came back with the price of his Pasa
dena railroad in his wallet, and the
Santa Fe road came to Los Angeles.
Then he took his grip in his hand a
couple of years ago and again went tc
Chicago; when he came back he had as
part Of his baggage the magnificent
cable road system of the city.
Mr.. Crank returned from Chicago the
other day, and as yet there has been no
official intimation of what he accom-
plished there, beyond his organization
of water company. but Mrs.
Rumor has commenced to talk
about his plans, and she told HERALD
reporter some interesting things
yesterday. The only trouble about
Mrs. Rumor as source of news is, that
she sometimes makes a mistake the
old lady yesterday assured the HERALD
HAL. Cldt uoT lIllOIIAdtlOu was dUSO-
lutely correct; that it came originally
from Mr.. Soandso, who is very close to
Mr.. Crank, and that few days would
prove its correctness.
"You see," said the old lady, 'Mr.
Crank has not been satisfied to share
the public nickels with the Main-street
car line. That road covers a thickly-
settled portion of the city, and does a
good business and is capable of being
profitably extended. This being the
situation, Mr.. Crank packed his grip
with a lot of bonds and went to Chi
cago, He has returned without the
bonds, having exchanged them for solid
gold coin, and now he has almost con-
cluded negotiations with the Main-street
car people for the purchase of their
road.'
"How much of mileage have they
got, madame?" queried the reporter.
"They have a main line extending
from Main and Temple streets on Main
to Washington, on Washington to Jeffer-
son, on Jefferson to Wesley avenue, and
on Wesley avenue to Agricultural park,
of AL miles. Then there is branch from
Main to Figueroa, to Washington, to JET
ferson, where it unites again with the
main line, amounting to AS miles. Then
there is the Fifth-street branch to the
Southern Pacific depot, which makes go
miles. This makes altogether 6.4S miles,
which added to the cable system will
make great showing"
"Will Mr.. Crank turn it into cable
road?"
"Why, most certainly. When there is
capital enough to meet the first cost O
building cable road it is the cheapest
possible kind"
Mr.. Crank was not in the city yester
day, SO the gossip could not be verified,
but it is very apt to be reliable, as sew
eral persons who ought to know eorrob-
Grated the reports.

A Water Bill.

Shortly after O'Clock last night j.
w. Patillo, a cement dealer, and F. West
collector for the Los Angeles Water Com.
pany, became involved in an alteration
over a water bill, on the dummy of a
cable car on Broadway. The car was
stopped and the men put off by the con-
ductor, whereupon the combatants ad-
journed to the sidewalk in front of the
city hall, and Patillo was disfguring
Vests face in an artistic manner when
Sergeant Jeffries, of the police force, put
in an appearance, and after separating
the combatants, took both to the police
station and charged them with disturb.

fusely from a cut under the right eye
while Patillo complained of split lip
Both were subsequently released upon
depositing bail in the sum of $40 each.

AROUND THE WORLD.
The Journey that Frank Schumacher
Has Returned From.


Frank Schumacher has been around
the world. He did not make race of
it, for he left Los Angeles for the east
on April IL, 1889, and he came back
from the west just few days ago. In
fifteen months travelling young Amer
lean can see great deal, learn great
deal and enjoy a great deal; all of this
Mr.. Schumacher did. He started out
with Mr. Stassforth. Mr.. Stassforth
has returned also, and has not grown an
inch since he went away. The two met
Percy and Jack Griffith in London, and
the quartette did Europe very thor
oughly and returned to London again.
Then Mr.. Schumacher set out for Spain,
and in Barcelona he turned Gale cor
ner suddenly and ran into good Father
Peter Verdaguer, and all through Spain
and Italy and Palestine he watched over
the young man.
At Jerusalem party was made up to
visit the Jordan. The guides took them
to the exact spot in the river where
Christ was baptized. They have all his
torical spots plainly marked in these
historical regions. The young men con-
siderately erected temporary altar, and
the good father had the pleasure of say
ing mass in that hallowed spot.
Mr.. Schumacher visited every country
in Europe, and every city of any conse-
quence. He was systematic in sight
seeing. For example, he began at the
south of Ireland and travelled from east
to west until he reached the giants
causeway. The nearest approach to
Southern California weather he found in
Japan, but in no land did he
find so many good qualities as
exist in this city. He is as glad to be
back as his friends are to see him. He
is not a bit injured by the experience.
He does not wear an eye-glass or a lisp
he is as free from being an anglo-maniac
as Native Son of the Golden West can
be. He never forgot that he was an
American, and on the Fourth of July a
year ago he and his companions deter
mined to celebrate, and purchased some
fireworks. They were at Bergin in Scan
dinavia, and they waited for the shades
of night so as to display their sky
rockets and patriotism, but though they
staid there three days, the darkness
never came; it was the land of the mid
night sun, and the nearest approach to
night was two hours of twilight out of
the twenty-four.
The American display at the Paris
exposition Mr.. Schumacher found to be
entirely inadequate; Guatemala and
other little South American countries
had much better showings than the
United States.
Mr. Schumacher says he is glad to be
back to Los Angeles; wants never to
live in any other place; saw nothing to
compare with it while away as desir-
able place OF residence, and intends to
spend his life here.
