pressure to the square inch. The re-
porter went to the engineers office yes-
terday to review the brick, but it could
not be found. He then went to the
office of D. Freeman, president of the
lnglewOod kiln, where he found az
near duplicate of the sample as could
be imagined. 1t is there to be compared
with the bricks in the sewer. They will
not be found generally up to the sample
by any means. While the Grand avenue
sewer was being built, citizens reported
to the HERALD that bricks were going in
there so soft that one could break them
in two with his hands. A reporter of
the HERALD went out one day to inspect
Tor himself, and picked up one Of these
porous bricks to look at. In moment
treshy fellow, with shovel in hand,
came up, roaring, "Drop that brick!
Don't you dare take that away from
here!'
Yesterday the reporter asked Mr..
Freeman if the bricks from the Ingle-
wood kiln had been used in the sewer.
He said: "At first we sold for the sewers
in all about one million brick. After a
while they ceased buying from us, and
only got our bricks once in while, and
not in large quantities afterwards -
There were used in the sewers ten to
twenty times as many bricks as were
bought from Inglewood. Now there
is no other brick made here at
all like those made in the con-
tinuous kiln. There is the whole
story in nutshell. 1t is the natural
conclusion that the more this lob is
probed the more rotten it will be found.

LIBRARY MATTERS.
The Proceedings at the Directors
Meeting Yesterday.

Meeting Yesterday.
The regular monthly meeting of the
board of directors Of the Los Angeles
public library was held yesterday, those
present being Directors Hanchette,
Howard, Jones and President Dobinson.
Demands to the amount of $1156. .03 were
approved and ordered paid.
The librarian, Miss Kelso, reported
that the circulation for the month of
February was 1851 books and periodi-
calls, and the month was made remark
able by the largest single days issue in
the history of the library, which was on
Saturday, 2Sth OF February, when 500
volumes were registered and handed
across the counter.
Director Howard reported that the
peremptory mandamus issued by Judge
Shaw had been obeyed by the auditor,
and the demands for January had been
paid as ordered.
He also reported that the pleadings in
the suit for possession of the library had
just been submitted to the court, and
an early decision might be expected.
A number of applications for posi-
tions in the library were received and
placed on file.
The book committee reported that
books to the amount Of $602.35 had been
purchased, After transacting the usual
routine business the board adjourned.

1t is not known just what action will
be taken by the sewer committee OF the
council in regard to the disgraceful state
of affairs discovered in the central inter
ceptor sewer on the tour made by the
committee Tuesday. One of the mem
bers of the committee said to HERALD
reporter yesterday that "there will be a
report on the subject read in the council
next Monday you can rely on that, even
if it has to be minority report" Presi-
dent Tufts has not yet called a special
session of the committee to discuss the
matter, and is undecided whether to do
so.
The account of the startling discover
les made on the tour of Tuesday, printed
in the HERLAD, was generally discussed
about the city hall yesterday. 1t was
stated that M. A. Doyle, the original
contractor, had assigned his contracts to
other parties, and ia now probably clear
OF any liability for the steal that has
evidently been perpetrated on the city.
Doyle is now in the east
City Engineer Dockweiler took another

found one of the chambers built at
more recent date than the section
visited Tuesday, in the same rotten con-
dition, the cement flooring being far
from up to the requirements. This por-
tion Of the sewer has not been accepted
and the engineer will order the chamber
rebuilt.
Mr.. Dockweiler has begun system
Of cement tests in the basement of the
city hall, and hereafter all cement used
in work done for the city, must pass a
trying examination. The machine
used is Fairbanks standard tester,
and the cement must be able to stand a
pressure Of at least 100 pounds to the
square inch. Samples Of the cement
used in public improvements will be
kept for six months, one year, two
years and longer ,and tested at intervals,
and ali material found wanting, will be
thereafter blacklisted. NJ

SALESMAN HERMAN sxIPs.

Commission Merchant Simon Levy
Loses Collector and Collections.
Mr. Isidor Heiman, who, until last
Monday, was commission salesman
and collector for Simon Levy, the Los
Angeles-street produce merchant, is
missing, together with various small
amounts collected on the account of his
employer. Heiman is young man,
about "a years of age, and is very well
connected in this city. His stealings
are not very extensive, but as Mr.. Levy
says, are "more than he cares to lose,n
and the police are now working on the
case.
Heiman had not been in the employ
OF Mr.. Levy for great length of time,
but, it appears, has lost no opportunity
to turn dishonest penny for himself.
He has been in the habit of selling
goods beneath the market price and
pocketing part Of the proceeds, appar-
emily squaring his accounts by handing
over returns for an average days sales.
Several other methods of stealing used
by Heiman haye been discovered, but
his employer refuses to talk, and efforts
are being made by Heiman's relatives to
make good the amount he has got away
with and quiet the matter.
The youHg man is supposed to be safe
ly out OF town. Mr.. Levy is probably
loser to an amount somewhat less than
$1,000.

amid the applause Of the Democrats,

SMOOTH STONER.
A Clever Confidence Operator Arrested
YESTERDAY,

a SIeVeI NonnuenCe operator Arrested
Yesterday.
S. M. Stoner, smooth confidence op-
orator who has done business in many
points in Southern California of late,
was arrested by Deputy Sheriff J. F. Is
abel and Constable Frank Deffley, in
Ordoqui's lodging house, at the cornero of
Also and Alameda streets, yesterday
forenoon, and Enow languishes in the
county Jail.
Stoner's latest maneuvers have been
in the neighborhood of Rivera. At that
place he represented himself to be
nurseryman, and is known to have
forged endorsements on several checks
for small sums, using the names of Ed
Autland, Geo. Fish, Mr.. Garrison, a
hotel-keeper, and others. The amounts
obtained in this manner will not exceed
500. He also gave check to B. Lugo,
of Rivera, in exchange for work done by
Lugo, and obtained suit of clothes on
the deal. All of these checks were
drawn on the San Bernardino National
bank, which place he gave as his resi-
dence, and signed by himself, and were
all found worthless on presentation at
the bank.
Stoner's last brilliant move at Rivera
consisted of hiring and making away
with a horse and buggy belonging to
Geo. Fish, a liveryman. Stoner rented
the rig last Sunday and drove inn
mediately to Los. Angeles. Arriving
here he put the horse up at Wicker
sham's stable and borrowed $3.50 on it.
He tried to sell the horse at several
other stables on Monday and Tuesday,
and was carrying on negotiations with
that object in view when arrested.
Stoner's capture by Deffley and Isabel
was cleverly done. Starting out with
but slight clew as to the direction in
which he had taken, they traced him
to Los Angeles and succeeded in caging
their bird before he had made away
with the rig.
Stoner has also been operating re-
Gently in Orange, Santa Ana and south
ern towns as fruit farmer. His plan
was to order nursery stock, ostensibly
for his ranch, and then sell the trees
after they had been delivered at a speci-
fed point.
He will probably 60 over the road.

as to sign all the bills laid before him,
else they would not have become laws.
The Brussels treaty for the suppress
sion of the African slave trade and
traffic in spirits and firearms, was de-
feated in the senate executive session
this morning. The opposition to its rat
ification was based upon number of
reasons; such as fears of .entangling al
liances, interference with private busi-
ness enterprises, etc.
There was much discussion over the
nomination of ]. H. Beatty to be
United States Judge for Idaho, and the
western senator who noted the obiec-
tion to the nomination resisted all ap-
peals to withdraw his demand that the
case lie over, and it finally took that
order, which involves failure Of nomina-
ton, as it cannot be reached again in

/ ne RAILROADS Again Running Trains
On Time.
The Santa Fe people are all rejoicing
over the resumption Of through traffic
to the east over their line. The last of
the repairs on the line between San
Bernardino and Barstow were completed
yesterday afternoon, and the accumula-
ton of west-bound freight in this city
was at once attacked and is diminishing
every hour. A large orange special
freight train left last night, and more
will follow as rapidly as possible.
The overland passenger express will
leave the First-street depot today at
12:15, its regular time.
The line from San Bernardino to San
Diego, via Riverside and Orange, will be
open this afternoon for traffic by trans
fer, and tomorrow will be open through
out. The repairs on the coast line be-
tween Rivera and Orange, are being
rapidly pushed, and the line will be
open for traffic the last Of the week.
TO SAN DIEGO TODAY.
Late last evening Mr.. Henderson OF
General Manager Wade's office, told a
HERALD reporter that train for San
Diego would leave this city at S:15 this
morning. It would 60 via San Bernar-
dino and Orange, transferring passen-
gers at the Santa Ana river. Tomor-
rows train, it is expected, will GO

The Southern Pacific is all right ex-
cept east of Yuma, and the 1900 men at
work there are repairing the washouts
as fast as possible.
To the north the line is all right and
trains are moving on time. The local
branches are all repaired excepting the
Santa Ana line, which, it is thought,
will be open tomorrow.

THE EGGS BROKE.
An Exciting Runaway Which Did But
Little Damage.

An exciting runaway occurred on Sec
ond street Yesterday. A lady from the
country was driving skittish horse
through town, when the animal became
frightened at some cause and began to
run. The buggy collided with another
vehicle between Broadway and Spring
street, and the horse became unman-
ageable. The driver was thrown out,
but not seriously injured, and the horse
continued on down Second street till it
reached Spring, where it ran through
the door Of the Southern Pacific Offices,
and was stopped by the wreck Of the
buggy. A basket Of eggs which were
being brought into town by the lady
were scattered all over the stFeet.

A TAILOR sKIPs.
He Was Not as Green as His Name
Indicates,

The whereabouts of VIM. Green, a
tailor who until yesterday morning was
the proprietor of small establishment
on Main street, between First and Sec
ond, are being anxiously inquired after
by. some of his late patrons. The reason
of this solicitude after Green's welfare is
explained by the fact that with him,
wherever he may be, are number OF
deposits on suits of clothes that are not
yet built, and probably will not be.
Green was formerly fireman in the
employ of the city, but has recently been
doing small business as tailor, max
ing clothes from samples. His method Of
doing business was to sell suit from
his samples, take as large deposit from
the customer as he could get, and then
send east for the material.
During the recent floods Green had no
cloth to work on, and spent three or four
days accumulating nice, heavy jag.
While in this condition he became dis
couraged at the dullness of business in
Los Angeles. and left. His customers
looked for him anxiously for several
days, but finally gave up all hope OF his
return and reported the matter to the
police. Green is known to have a family
in Kansas, and is supposed to have re-
turned to that state.
