1t was ugly weather last night; snow, rain and
a raw wind. But if it had ralned icebergs and

last night. You cannot keep the public away
when the Drummer Boy; or, The Battlefield of

supervision of General Alex Hays Post 8, G. A.

Fund. So last night the theater was packed
upstairs and downstairs, and people were
standing three deep at the back of the parquet.
The audience was rewarded with capital per-

and the broad humor of Lonney Longs old

several songs with good effect, and that which
went to the tune of Gus Williams, "Oh! What

mensely, especially the allusIons to the license
question which it contained. Many others in
the cast distinguished themselves, and particu-
larly Miss Mamie Sawyer in the role of Mrs.
H0l0Grd. The realistic military features of
the play we're admirably cared for by the
National Guardsmen in the cast. The per-
formance as whole is well worth seeing, aside
from the excellent purpose for which it is
given.

TWO DEAD MEN
WHOSE DEMISE THE CORONER
LEGALLY INVESTIGATES.
L. A. Canterbury Declared to Have Been
Accidentally Drowned-Another Man
Killed While Boarding a Train.

DR.. w. A. Weldon held two inquests
yesterday. The first one was at Long
Beach, where the body of l.. A. Canter
bury, whose age is supposed to have
been about 35. of Redlands, the son Of
DR.. Canterbury of Cotton, was found
floating in the sea. From the evidence,
it appears that Canterbury went In
bathing on the 18th instant, with his
wife and nurse. He got among the
breakers and suddenly disappeared
His absence was not discovered until
Mrs. Canterbury inquired whether her
husband had obtained the keys for the
bathrooms. Alexander Aiken then
swan around for while, but nothing
could be discovered of the unfortunate
| man.
The body was discovered yesterday
morning by E. A. Bonefield, floating
among the breakers. 1t was towed in.
The only means of Identification of the
body, which was very much decomposed,
was the bathing suit which was recog-
nized by both witnesses as having been
worn by Mr.. Canterbury. The jury
returned verdict of accidental drown
ing. Mrs. Canterbury was at Redlands
when her husbands body was recov-
cred, and could not be present at the
inquest.
Some time after 8 O'Clock yesterday
| morning man apparently % years OF
age and smoothfaced, attempted to board
Southern Pacific passenger train near
the corner of Macy and Alameda streets.
The train was going towards the Arcade
depot. He failed to catch the railing
and fell under the wheels. When picked
up he was in a mangled condition. He
was taken to the city receiving hospital,
where he died at II 80.
The coroner held an inquest upon the
body at O'Clock last night From the
evidence adduced it was gathered that
the deceased attempted to jump on
the train going to Santa Ana
and that he was struck by the steps of
the second coach. The man fell on the
track, and his legs were run over by the
cars. Two witnesses testified that the
train was running from fifteen to eight
cen miles an hour, and their mode of
computation was by comparison with
the gait of horse. w. H. Thomas, en-
gineer OF the Santa Ana passenger train,
testified that he was unaware whether
there was law or city ordinance en-
joining trains from running at more than
certain rate of speed through the
streets OF this city. The company's reg
ulations were that trains must not run
at more than eight miles an hour
through the city, land as matter of fact
the train was not running at a higher
speed. Witness testified that having been
on an engine for nearly forty years he
was quite competent to Judge of his rate
of speed. One witness testified that he
had known the deceased for one year
and half, and that he had lately been
in the employ of the Southern Pacific
company. He said that the mans name
was William f. Mayer, and that he had
come here from Wisconsin, his sister
being resident of Racine, Wisconsin.
Before working for the Southern Pacific
he had been in the employ of w.
Weston, builder OF elevators. The
jury returned verdict of accidental
death.
