THE STORM.
SAN GABRIEL VALLEY ORANGE
GROWERS HEAVY LOSERS.
bra a Heavy Loser-At Least Two
Hundred Carloads of Fruit Ruined.

The story of the wind storm was very
completely told in yesterdays HERALD
and little remains to be added to it.
The damage to the orange crop in the
San Gabriel valley promises to be serious
Captain Gray of Alhambra was in tb G
city yesterday, and in conv ersation with
q HERALD reporter said: Sat Alhambra
l am afraid that on an average half the
crop is lost. No damage was done to
buildings there beyond the blowing
down of the Presbyterian church steeple.
"At Sunny Slope the loss of oranges
is tremendous. A conservative estimate
before the blow placed the crop at 90
| 900 boxes, and there remains on the
trees probably less than 1000 boxes.
| The remaining fruit is so scattered as to
make it doubtful whether it will be
worth picking.
"The big barn at Sunny Slope was
blown down entirely and the two older
ones were unroofed. None of the other
buildings were injured"
The stories about the loss OF the crop
| at Azusa and Duarte painted the situa-
ton in even worse colors. 1t is impossi-
bic to make anything like close esti-
mate OF the loss, any more than to say
that it cannot be less than 200 carloads.
Riverside appears to have got off very
cheaply. Fridays Press says:
Here in Riverside it blew quite hard,
though not as severely as we have ex-
perienced in other years. A good many
oranges were blown off, but owing to the
fact that they were not all ripe, less
damage was done than most people an
ticipated. Those that did fall off were
nearly all culls, inferior fruit, cracked
or thorn pricked, and would have been
rejected III the packing houses anyway.
Considering the severity of the storm
elsewhere, the people of Riverside have
great cause for congratulation that they
have escaped so easily.
The following from South Riverside
shows that place was unframed.
SOUTH RIVERSIDE, CAL, Dec. 12.-The
recent wind storm did no damage here,
in fact, the wind was not at all severe;
nor did our colony suffer any from the
recent frost that affected some parts Of
our valley. HERB. G. FOSTER.
The accounts from Pasadena show
that there is hardly an orange or
lemon fit for shipment left on the trees.
The loss to property owners is estimated
at 10000, but the loss to orchardists
cannot be estimated.
THE STORM AT vINELAND.
The sons OF DR.. John P. P. Peck came
in from his ranch at Vineland yesterday,
where they were during the storm.
They report the following damage: The
old Sells winery was demolished. Mr..
Ford's house aud the barns of Mr.. John
son, Mr.. Harrison and Nj. Mcdonald
were blown down. The houses of Mr..
Benton and Mr.. Mcdonald, Jr., were
moved from their foundations. Some
sheds on DR.. Peck's ranch collapsed. and
the unharvested potatoes were literally
blown out OF the ground. The damage
in all cases was slight. Mr.. Mcdonald
and his young son started for neigh
boris house after their home was wrecked,
but the wind was so strong that they
we're compelled to seek shelter in q hay
stack, where they passed the night.

AND now we have labored effort on
the part OF our esteemed evening con.
temporary to vindicate the integrity OF
Dan Burns's character! 1t insists that
because the jury, in his trial for steal
ing $2l 900 from the state, gave him
the benefit of a verdict of not proven. he
is entitled to every social and political
recognition. One of the greatest scan
dals of the time is the impossibilitv Of
procuring verdicts against criminals
who have money or friends. There ia
no doubt that the money he was charged
with stealing from the state was stolen.
That he had received the money as sec-
rotary Of state was proven by the tag
receipts OF Wells, Fargo & Co., and by
letters that he unaccountably failed to
destroy; and that he doctored his books
go as to make the record OF the receipt of
the money disappear was equally shown.
He and his deputy, Tom Reynolds,
were indicted. They were separately
tried. When Burns was tried he made
the jury believe that Reynolds was the
culprit. and so got free. When Rey-
nolds was tried he made his jury be.
lleve that Burns stole the money and he
also went free. But this jugglery,
which is possible in o court of law, does
not avail before the court of public
opinion. The real facts are that both
the principal and his deputy stole the
Los Angeles herald., 1891-12-13

AslwIE news comes in of the results
OF the wind-storm, it is apparent that
the destruction has been more serious
than was at first supposed. The loss in
the wreckage of buildings was bad
enough but the injury done to the fruit
orchards that lay in the path of the hur-
ricane will prove far more serious mat
ter. Whilst the trees have not in many
instances been damaged, very large
percentage of the orange crop has been
destroyed in the orchards struck by the
storm. 1t is impossible to estimate this
loss accurately at present. but it will
probably reduce the years shipment
from Pasadena, Albambra, San Gabriel
and Azusa very materially.

THE NATIONAL GAME.
The Woodburys Defeat the Orange
Club by Score of IL to 2.

Several hundred people assembled al
the First street grounds yesterday after.
noon to see an interesting game of base
ball between the Woodbury. Business
College team and the Orange nine
which resulted in victory for the
former club by score of IL TOT. The
Woodburys made fine appearance in
their handsome new uniforms, and
showed by their playing that they are
one of the best amateur clubs in this
part of the state. Flint and Kendall
occupied the points for the winning
team, and Wood and Lemon for the
Orange boys, and both batteries did
some very fine work. Flint's three
Dagger was the feature OF the game.
The Orange club plays good game,
and the members of the club proved
themselves to be gentlemen through
out. Mullen umpired the game salts

fees that came into the office, and both
should have been convicted. We have
already said that Markham may plead
in extenuation OF his appointment OF
Burns to place in the San Francisco
board of police commissioners thatsthe
Republican party had accepted him as
its chief manager at the last state cleo
ton, and therefore condoned his ofrense
and received him into the ranks OF the
purest and best. This plea is, perhaps,
weakened by the fact that Burns gave
Markham the nomination OF his party
for governor, and that the payment of
private debt by public Office is also
species of malyersation OF public funds.
That is, the public purse puts up for
Burns salary and thus settles Mark
hams individual debt to- the appointee.

THE law and its sanctions seem to be
always flexible enough to protect re-
spectacle boodlers and criminals,
but when it comes to protect the
people from the political scallawags who
carry out schemes of bribery, corrup-
ton and all sorts of outrages agai INST the
public, then comes in at once a rigidity
of construc ton that sets the rascals free.
The San Francisco elisor grand jury was
doing excellent work for the people; it
had struck terror into the ranks of the
boodlers and brlbers and was cleaning
out the ''Augean stables" at rate that
promised to purify politics and send the
Burners and bursts TO the penitentary.
But the supreme court has unfortunate
ly been unable to find the law for it's ex.
istence; and 80 all its splendid work
has been in vain, and the Burners and
Buckleys, the Chutes and Crimminses,
the Kellys and Dursts, and the whole
fetid crew are again on top. They are,
as in the case OF Burns, restored to re-
spectablity and power.

THE ILLUSTRATED HERALD.

For some days past canvassers have
been out soliciting advertisements for
the ILLUSTRATED HERALD ANNUAL. This
will be the twelfth issue of this invalua-
bic publication, which has done go much

gratifying success, and they will remain

The state agricultural board excuses
itself for not appointing either of its
two southern members to the manage
ment OF the Los Angeles citrus fair be-
cause of their apathy in attending to
their duties as members of the state
board. They say that one has never
been present at single session Of the
state board, and that neither was pres
ent at the last important meeting.
Hence they feel that they ought to give
the position to some member who has
given evidence that he will be active in
attending to the work that is to be
done. This is all very fine but when
closely scanned, it resolves itself into
the fact that the state board has given
US a northern man to manage our fair,
simply because they are in the majority
and have the power to do SO. We have
no personal objections to Mr.. Jesse ID.
Carr. He is a very capable man, and
will do thoroughly and we'll anything
he undertakes; but it is a small bust
ness to punish section so as to resent
a 9ereliction on the part OF two of the
colleagues of the disgrunted majority.

In Philadelphia last week a Demo
cratic heller. OF the tripe that does the
dirty work in elections, met his death
on the galows. He is said to have been
leader OF repeater and other fraudu-
lent voters, and his life was record of
violence. The New York Press OBJ
serves that, in that city, the fellow
might have aspired to high honors.-
Los Angeles Times.
Here is one of those delicate editorial
utterances in which our esteemed 10 cal
contemporary could not be suspected of
boorishness. The plain intimation is
that, to the New York Democracy,
heller and villain is a very acceptable
man. This kind OF thing is silvered DER
with the fine degree the superine de-
gree--ot good manners that character
ICES our coufr6re. Part OF the extract is
original and part Of it ia quoted, but it
is all instinct with the peculiarly ami
able tiaa5ye OF the remarks OF the Times
when Democrats are concerned, and APP
pears 10 the editorial columns Of that
paper. Now we will just tell our con-
temporary Il little fairy story for it's
edification. Somewhere about 1870 or
IS71-we viii procure the exact dates
if the Times desires to have
them-s man named Ovens was
selected doorkeeper OF the Pennsy- |
yania assembly. He was not executed, |
but he ought to have been. He was
Republican heller OF the city Of Phila-
delphia, and had rendered great services
to his party. He killed Col. Richard
N. Biddle-Col. Thomas A. Scott's
Colonel ,Biddle, had
been gallant<soldier in the war, and at
the time of his murder by Ovens be was
! collector of internal revenue for the
United States. Here was case where a
'heeIer" ought to have been executed.
