FIGHTING FOR MAUD.
FATHER AND MOTHER EACH WANT
THE DAUGHTER.
Family Disagreement-Divided Parent S
in the Courts About Their Daughter

Maud May Flores, the pretty 14-year-
old daughter of William and Mary
Flores, was brought before Judge Shaw
yesterday on writ of habeas corpus
sworn out by E. Pollard, who alleged
that the child was deprived of her lib
erty at Santa Monica by the father in
contempt of an order Of the superior
court of this county, made in 1887.
The case is an old and an interesting
one. In the year named Mary Flores
obtained a divorce from her husband
William in Judge Brunson's court on
the grounds of cruelty. and was awarded
the custody of her two children. She
soon afterward departed for Washing
ton territory, taking hel daughters with
her. Some months later Flores heard
that the children had been abandoned
by the mother, and he regained possess
sion OF them by sending up money for
their passage down on the steamer.
Mrs. Flores herself came back to Santa
Monica later and took the girls away
from their father, putting the eldest,
Maud May, out at Santa Monica at $6
per month. She then went to Redondo
and obtained work as a domestic.
A few days ago Flores regained possess
sion of Maud, and the warrantwas sworn
out to get her back by friend of the
mother. Judge Shaw partly heard the
case yesterday and ordered the child to
be turned over to the Sisters school,
pending the settlement of the matter.
The father will apply for the vacation
of Judge Brunson's order on the grounds
that Mrs. Flores is not a proper person
to have possession of the children.

THE RAILROADS.
THE LOS ANGELES AND PACIFIC TO
BE RECONSTRUCTED.
and Bondholders-News Notes About
Railroad Matters.

1t is now tolerably certain that the
long defunct Los Angeles and Pacific
Railroad company will soon be recon-
structed. An offer has been made to
the holders OF the old stock, OF stock in
reorganized company to the amount of
80 cents on each dollar of their holdings,
and similar proposition has been made
to the bondholders. If, as appears
likely, the propositions are accepted
the road will be reconstructed and
operated as a steam road, though it is
possible that before that time arrange
ments will be made to make it an
electric road.
NOTES.
Notice was received last evening by
the Santa Fe officials in this city, says
the Riverside Enterprise, that the COM
mutation ten-ride tickets between here
and Cotton heretofore sold for 81 have
been reduced to 75 cents. These tick
cts are good for thirty days for ride
either way and for as many persons to
use as desire. Surely this is a cheap
and accommodating service.

the employ of the Santa Fe, running a
line from Temecula to Vista, and he
has instructions to find a sixty-foot
grade, says the Esconddo Times. He
commenced work AZ Vista and has
already run two lines from that place to
the San Luis Rey river. From there he
will go up through Fallbrook and make
his way to Temecula over the upland
country. Vista is midway between Es-
condido and Oceanside on the Escon-
dido division, and it would seem that
the Santa Fe has determined to come
from Temecula down through the Fall
brook country and intersect our line at
that place, and thus pass into Ocean
side.
The Terminal railroad graders are
camped this week at the Nadeau winery.
Their track will cross the Santa Ana
branch track about one hundred and
fifty yards south and east of the winery.
The grading crew has been at work this
week on both sides of the Southern Pa
cific track, and are now pushing on in
the direction OF Los Angeles.

VISIONARY FARMERS.

Petition,

Some OF the Kansas Folk Make a Queer
Petition.
Topeka, Kan, August S.-The Farm
ers' Alliance in Elk county, has adopted
a lengthy set of resolutions, setting forth
the grievances of the farmers, and ask
ing the president of the state alliance,
Immediately to call convention of the
people for the purpose OF petitioning
the president OF the United States to
call an extra session of congress to pass
a law whereby the United States can
issue legal tender treasury notes in
the amount needed, and loan the people
at low rate OF interest; loans to be
secured by land, thus relieving the
farmers from the grasp of the money
monopolists. They also want a law
making everything that circulates as
money, and all interest-bearing bonds
taxable so that the man of luxury and
wealth may bear an equal burden with
the farmer; further, that any man hold
ing an interest in any railroad, or riding
on passes, be ineligible to legislative,
executive or judicial offices.

FINANCE AND TRADE.

CHICAGO, June 27.-Wheat was very weak
to-day, and though there were occasional
small reactions they were of brief duration
and generally followed by recessions to
lower figures than before. The published ac.
counts of destructive storms in the West led
to little show Of steadiness at the start, but
the signal service reported fair weather
throughout the winter wheat belt and mum
erous private dispatches confirmed this in
telligence. reporting fine harvest weather
and the resumption of operations in that
line Cables, both public and private
quoted the foreign markets dull and lower,
with discouraging outlook. 1t was
said that there was no demand abroad
and that offers ana solicitations brought
no bids. The weather in France was reported
hot ana forcing. The fact was recognized
that new wheat would soon appear on the
market in large quantities; corn was weak
and declining, and brokers were loaded with
selling orders from outside points. The re-
suit was free liquidation of July contracts.
Holders who had been hanging on in hopes
of turn for the better lost all courage, and
decided to drop their burden. Short sellers
were made bolder than ever. and while the
offerings were thus increased, the demand
was less than usual. and an intensely weak
market was the natural result To add to the
Generalization, Pardridge sold quite heavy
line of December wheat, estimated at 1000 coo
bushels, but he covered a large part
of it on the break, his pur-
chases assisting the subsequent rallies
July opened at 9lA@0l5sc, broke without
any considerable reaction to 9c5sc broke
again TO S97sc, rallied again and closed at
N7ac. Corn was also decidedly weak The
fine growing weather the Unexpectedly
heavy receipts and the Generalization
which prevailed in the other grain pits ex
ercised most depressing influence. The
courage of the hitherto most stalwart bull
became exhausted. and there was an indis
criminate slaughter of long property. When
IT was offered no one seemed to want il, and
there was an immediate decline. July
started at 52I2c, sold at 52S4c but II was
few minutes before it was selling at 517sc
Then shorts began to buy in TO secure prof
it's and there was a reaction to 5a3sc Later
the selling craze again broke out induced
partly by the estimate for Monday, and July
fell off to 51l2c, reacted some and closed at
51s4c. Oats shared in the general weakness
in other grain; July started at 3312033s4c. but
everybody seemed TO have some for sale and
there was steady drop to 52Ac. 1t fiuctuat-
ed some, and closed at 32Bc Provisions
were quiet. The opening was firm at
slight advance over Yesterdays close. There
was further small appreciation then a re-
action, with grains and the close was at me-
dium figures and without change compared
with yesterday.

Our domestic markets were all lower for
wheat corn and oats with other cereals in
sympathy. Every day brings harvest line in
this country further north. 1t is likely there
have been overestimates, but full crop of
the small grains at least seems nearer a Ger
tainty and the effect depresses the market
for old crop as we'll as futures on the new
