the year, and they would howl for help.
These people won't do anything of the
kind. found them taking things with
all the philosophical indifference that
characterizes the old Californian when
adversity strikes him, or, as he SAYS,
when he is out of luck. The people
were already hard at work clearing up
the wreckage and repairing damages,
and they will have all tracks of the flood
removed before the summer is over,
and cultivate their crops besides, and if
any OF their friends or neighbors need
assistance, they will quietly help them
and no outsiders will ever hear word
OF it. There is one thing thht think
they will inquire into, and that is why
some steps have not been taken to con-
fine the rivers to their channels.
WIN. E.. SAVAGE.
FROM YUMA.
Mr.. William E. Bond, the good-look-
ing and able business manager of the
Oakland Tribune, reached this city yes
terday from Arizona. He left last even
ing for San Francisco, but before taking
the train was seen by HERALD report
er, to whom he described his trip from
Yuma as one of peculiar hardships. He
walked from Yuma to Palm Springs,
through the wet sand of the desert, and
at the latter place was fortunate, or 9TH
erwise, enough to find horse on which
he rode to Beaumont. Mr.. Bond had
not ridden horseback for five years, and
while he succeeded in getting out OF the
wilderness, the results to his anatomy
throughout are anything but enjoyable.
At Beaumont he procured team, and
got to Cotton, from which point he
came to Los Angeles by Southern Pacific
train.
Mr.. Bond says that the Whitewater
ditch, which supplies Palmdale and
Palm valley with water, is badly
wrecked, about five miles of it being
carried away. Great quantities of mud
and slush were deposited on top of the
ground at Palmdale, injuring many or
chards. The condition OF Arizona the
other eide of Yuma, Mr.. Bond said, was
indescribable. At one time the desert
was an immense sea of water. The
greatest suffering would prevail among
the Yuma Indians, he thought, unless
relief was afforded to them. The In
dians on the Palm Valley reservation
also lost large quantity OF their prop
erty

Abbott Arrested.
Tom Manning, stranger in the city,
was arrested in the neighborhood of the
Upper Main-street cribs, last night, by
Officers Stewart and Valencia, for dis
turbing the peace. Manning was some
what drunk, and claimed to have been
assaulted and relieved of his cash. He
made the statement at the police sta
tion that he had been 'slugged, robbed
and arrested, all in three minutes" He
had Become involved in some trouble
with the denizens of the street, and was
creating disturbance when taken in.
Aaron Abbott, member OF the noto-
rious family of that name, was arrested
on Alameda. street yesterday afternoon
by Officer Bevan for vagrancy. Abbott
gave $50 cash bail and was released.
Meeting the officer later he began abus-
ing him for causing his arrest and was
again taken to the station on charge of
disturbing the peace. He put up $25
on the latter charge and was again
released.
The police picked up two lost children
yesterday and returned them safe to
their parents. Tom Reynolds was
found on Spring street by Officer Auble,
and Andrew Jones on Los Angeles street

the Los Angeles Terminal railway COM
pany. The first rates charged for the
transportation of passengers between
the extreme points of the road were:
For a single trip, 20 cents; round
trip ticket, rs cents; or 35 cents, in
Guiding street car fare both ways to the
business center of Los Angeles; COM
mutation tickets, sixty rides, good for
thirty days, IS. The above rates en-
tailed on the company loss OF $40 ,150,
the accounts showing a deficit OF that
amount below expenditures for operat-
ing and maintaining the same. The 25
and 35-cent tickets were since
limited to the date of issue,
and the sixty-ride Communication
tickets have been raised from
$5 to 81. The single trip fare of 20 cents
remains unchanged. The change was
made to enable the company to con-
tinue toafford train service, which the
company could not do at the low fare
originally established. AS soon as an
answer is received from the California
Southern railway company the time will
be set for the hearing of both cases.

RONY GRAIN SHOT.
THE NOTORIOUS LANCASTER EX-
CONSTABLE BADLY HURT.
F. B. Scherer Takes Him for a Burglar
and Puts Bullet in Him-The Facts
of the Case-Rony's Career.

News was brought to the city yester-
day afternoon by two carriers from Lam
caster that Rony Grain, an ex-constable
OF that place and somewhat notorious
character, had been shot by young
merchant named F, B. Scherer1 while
trying to effect an entrance to the lat
ter's store Saturday night.
The particulars Of the affair so far OBJ
tained are very meager. Scherer had
closed his store and gone to bed, when
he was awakened by some one working
at the back door. He came to the con-
scinsion4 that it was a burglar, and,
throwing open the door, fired at the
man; who was but few feet distant.
The intruder proved to be Grain, and
he received the ball in the leg. Scherer
was about to fire again, but his arm was
seized by companion of Grain, who
approached at this moment, and the
identity of the wounded man was estab-
lished.
Grain was carried to doctor, and the
course OF the bullet traced upward
through the abdomen to its place of
lodgment in the small of the back. The
wound is very serious one.
1t is not known what business Grain
had at Scherer's store at that time of
the night. Scherer has always borne
spotless reputation. Grain has figured
in number of episodes that have given
him notoriety. The incendiary burning
of his house, in the Antelope valley,
several years ago. created great excite
ment at the time. He charged Frank
Fray, with whom he had feud, with
the crime, and the latter was arrested
after long chase, and convicted, and
is now serving term in San Quentin.

the roads in the locality described:
WHITTIER, Feb. 26, 1891.
EDITORS HERALD l would like to give
the benefit Of the following information
to those of your readers who have occa-
sion to visit this part of the country
during the present rainy period.
/ left Los Angeles, by buggy, today at
about 2:30, taking what is known as the
Fulton Wells road over the Laguna
ranch. Before reaching the ten-mile
house, about a quarter OF a mile from it,
| turned to the right, down new road
that comes out between Lugo's and
Fosters place, and then turned to the
left, taking the road over Fosters
bridge at Old river. Up to this point
the roads were good, even for heavy
freighting: Leaving the bridge and
taking side roads, passing Carruther's
place, and east of Rivera, came out on
the Fulton Wells road. From Fosters
bridge to within about a mile of this
road, the roads were bad for freighting.
Turning off the Fulton Wells road at
Fosters, and going north until 1
reached the Los Angeles and Whit
tier road, west of Ranchito bridge,
| found the bridge all right, put on the
east the approach is washed out clean
up to the old saloon and Pico's house.
The river is easy to cross with anything,
having rock bottom here. The only
difficulty is getting a footing for your
horses at the bottom of the bluff, which
is assembled by cut road, which I
found Mr.. Eli King, the road overseer,
with a number OF workmen, cutting
down. A horse and buggy, or pair OF
horses with spring wagon could cross
and get up easily. but have my doubts
about freight wagons, there being no
footing in the soft mud at the bottom of
the road at the river. From the Fulton
Wells road at Fosters, to the bridge, the
roads are good, being sand. Were I
bringing freight l would prefer the route
described, having first secured extra
double-trees and one hundred feet of
one-inch rope, in case 1 got stuck at
Ranchito bluff.
The route from Fosters bridge to
near Fulton Wells road is quite
a scene OF wreckage; houses under
mined, small buildings wrecked, the
ground swept over as if by a river; wal
nut and orange orchards covered with
mud, and corn fodder and other debris
piled up against each tree, fences swept
down, young orchards destroyed. By
the Downey road, around to Norwalk,
it is worse, and the country clear to
Fulton Wells is sea of mud

or objection, and it is now on the
file for seconding reading and amend
ment. This bill is partly copy of the
Massachusetts law, but has the Indiana
provision that the voter shall mark his
choice of candidates with a stamp, in
stead of a pencil. The ballots are to be
printed at public expense, and all can
didates' names are to be on one ticket.
At the head are to be the lines: "Reg-
ular Republican ticket" etc., 80 that if
voter desires to cast a straight ticket,
he can stamp the line opposite the one
he wants to vote, and his ballot
The bill provides that sam

the provision that any illiterate voter,
or any one physically disabled, may call
upon any election officer he chooses to
mark his ballot for him. The assembly
caucus tonight expressed itself as unfa-
vorably disposed to the bill. Matlock,
were appointed special committee to
prepare more stringent Dill anu SUD-

The senate today killed Hammill's
bill reducing street car fares one-half

hours. 1t passed an appropriation for

FLORIDA SCALE.
The Pest Gets Very Firm Foothold
Here.

Yesterday Bug Inspectors Kercheval
and Weiss brought to the HERALD Office
few leaves OF an orange tree and an
orange that were very badly infested
with the Florida purple oyster-shell
scale. The pest looked very healthy on
both leaves and fruit, which upsets a
theory advanced by some that the Flor
ida scales all perish in our climate.
This tree is found in an orchard south
of the city, It came from Riverside,
where it was imported from Florida
Iour years ago. 1t has been in the place
where it now stands for two years.

NO HOPE Fur INGALLS,.
The Farmers Alliance Is Determined Upon
His Defeat.

Topeka, Kas., Jan. l2.-The Kansas leg
session tomorrow. All the members are
expected to be present. A majority OF
the farmers alliance members have been
on the ground for a week past, anxious to
begin their public labors. When the roll
is called tomorrow in the lower house,
n~inety-three farmers alliance, twenty-four
republican and eight democratic
members will answer to their
names. The upper house stands
forty republicans and one democrat. On
joint ballot the farmers alliance has a
majority over all of twenty-one. The com
bined opposition to Mr.. Ingalls, r~e-elect-
ton is composed of ninety-three farmers
alliance and nine democratic members, or
thirty more than the Ingalls, forces.
Frank McGrath, president of the state
alliance, and Chairman Chase, of the legis-
lative committee, are confident that who
ever is nominated in the alliance caucus
will be elected TO succeed Mr.. Ingalls,.
They claim that the alliance forces will
present a solid front on the senatorial
question, and they scout the idea OF any
assertions from their ranks.
Chairman Buchan, OF the republican
state central committee, claims TO be
equally confident that Mr.. ingalls, will be
reelected. He declines to state, how
ever, where the republicans will gain suffi-
cient reinforcements to their ranks to
overcome the alliance majority.
The democratic members, for principles
sake, will nominate a senatorial candidate
of their own and they will give him a com
p~limentary vote unless their strength
should be needed to fill any possible
breach in the farmers alliance ranks, in
which event they will throw their strength
to the farmers alliance candidate. Their
motto is Anything to eat Ingalls,"
The Inauguration of the officers-elect
occurred at loon today. The ceremony
was of the simplest possible character.
The officers assembled in the Office of the
chief justice, where they subscribed to
the oath as administered by Associate
Justice Valentine. All of the new officers,
with two exceptions, had been reelected.
The new officers were Treasurer Stone and
Acknowledgement Ives, both elected by
the farmers alliance.
The alliance legislators went into eau
Gus tonight and remained until a late hour.
?. p. Elder of Franklin county was agreed
upon for speaker, and Benjamin Machette
OF Osborn county for ten porary chairman.
No agreement was reached on the senate
rial question, and the matter was only dis
cussed informally.

1t being generally expected that the

and galleries of the senate were crowded
Monday afternoon long before the upper
legislative body was called to order. There
was a number of ladies present, many of
whom could not find seats. The session
was opened with prayer by the Rev. Oscar
c.. McCulloch, after which Assistant Sec
rotary Peasants reminded the members
of the legislation that they had enacted on
Friday by reading the journal of that
days proceedings. He had reached the
most exciting portion of the aforesaid
journal when a humane member in the
rear OF the chamber moved that its further
reading be dispensed with, and after
the motion had been unanimously
adopted the transaction of business
began. An amendment to the constitu-
ton by Mr.. Boyd whereby the judges Of
the supreme court are increased from five
to eleven, went to the committee on re-
vision, and the president called for the re-
port of the committee on elections. Mr..
Ewing, chairman of the committee, an
nounced that it desired further time and
the request was granted.
