Tudge Fox's instructions to
The special grand jury were de-
livered orally. but were very
terse and succint, the plth aud
point of which were:
GENTLEMEN: Since the last
adjournment of this court the
Sheriff, in pursuance of the re-
quirements of the statute, in.
formed me that two defendants
were confined in Jail, charged
with murder, awaiting some
disposition of the court. In
obedience to such notice this
special term was ordered, for
the purpose Of investigating this
charge. While you, as a grand
jury, have full power to investi-
gate any ofenses coming to
your knowledge, yet, as this is
IA special term, the court is dis
posed to direct your inquiry to
the charge against these two de-
PENDANTS, or others whom you
may find were implicated in the
crime. The interests of society
cant be best preserved by tile
disposition of cases of this char
acter in strict adherence to the
due forms of law. 1t is your
duty to carefully and dispassion-
ately ascertain all the facts sur
rounding this case. Yourjudge.
ment should not b. influenced
by any sentiment, either ad.
verse or favorable, but by the
testimony alone. After haying
all the facts, if the testimony
points with a reasonable de.
gree Of certainty to the guilt of
the parties undergoing investi.
ga'ion you should, without hest.
lation, return a true bill.
If, on the other hand, the tes-
timony, is not sufficient upon
which to base an indictment,
vou return mot a true bill"
In order to warrant the grand
jury in returning a true bill ii
is not required that the guilt Of
a party should appear from
p,sitive or direct testimony,
but you may reach an entirely
satisfactory conclusion of guilt
from circumstances; but by
circumstances is not meant
common public rumor, bu,
items of competent evidence
that ::point unerringly to guilt.
Should your attention be call
I'd to any other matters which
in your judgement, the public
good requires immediate action,
then you are authorized to in
vcstigate the same.
You can now proceed with
your duties and perform them
without any feeling Of revenge
or malice Such y course In
the end will result In the main
tainiug ri lhe object OF the law
and the preservaion of tie hes
interests of the people Of you'

The most appalling railroad calamity
that has occurred since the Ashtabula
horror is the one that has just thrown
Switzerland into mourning. An excur-
sion train, crowded with people going to
musical festival, was suddenly precipi-
tated into river by the collapse of the
bridge crossing it, and the last report
gives the number of killed at 100, whilst
the number OF injured reaches into the
hundreds. The swift current of the
river doubtless carried away many
bodies, and it win be some time before
the extent of the calamity will be fully
ascertained. Nothing could give one a
more strikingly awful idea of the
sweeping character of the fatality in this
accident than the information contained
in the dispatches, that no family in
Basle has escaped the loss of kindred or
friends, and several have been entirely
wiped out. No satisfactory reason has
yet been given for the collapse of the
bridge, but that some one is to. blame
for this terrible accident there can be
little doubt.

Manager Wyatt had the pleasure of
seeing his theater filled by large audi
ence last evening, the occasion being his
benefit.
The play was A Royal Pass, with
George G. Staley in the star role. The
play is a wonderful affair. A wicked
Russian police agent is always on the
verge of sending Ivan Zotoff, who has
estates and wife, to Siberia, with the
view of acquiring the property by marry
ing the wife when Zotoff shall have died
in the mines. In each act the plot is on
the point OF being successful, when An
drew Hotter, German mountain guide,
always comes to the rescue with a nickel
plated pistol as the curtain falls, and
makes the police agent very angry. The
only difference between the last act and
the other three is that in it the discom-
future of the wicked police agent is sup
posed to be permanent, and everybody
else is happy.
MI. Staley as Hoffer sings very pleas
antly and in his comedy work appeared
to win the appreciation of large por-
tion of the audience.
The play is on for this and tomorrow
evening.

Manager Wyatt has booked the Emma

sense this stage road almost rivals the
railway marvel over the Tehachepi
Pass
The valley itself, when reached, is
found to be lovely in the extreme. 1t
is about five miles from the point at
which it is entered to the Stoneman
house. The river bottom, we'll wooded,
and the ripple and plash OF the Merced
river make the progress OF the tourist
musical. At every turn some new sor-
Gerry of scenery enlists his enraptured
attention. Now it is the cathedral spires,
then the half dome, next Glacier Point;
and, most interesting of all, the Yosemite
Falls proper, near which the Stoneman
house is located. By this time the party
have found their tongues. The rain is
forgotten by all. Many of the tourists
have been in Switzerland and other
countries famous for fine mountain
scenery. The universal admission is
that, never in all their wanderings,
has anything so grand, awe-inspiring
and beautiful been encountered by them
anywhere. From the verandas of the
Stoneman house the eye takes in a
sweep whose sublimity is unapproach-
able on the footstool, and the more ex-
tensively travelled your interlocutor has
been the more enthusiastic and unre-
served is the admission of this fact.
But it is impossible to give even a
bird's-eye view of this unique region in
a single article. l therefore reserve de-
tails and the big trees for a subsequent
screed. J.D, L,

PROFESSOR RICHARD A. LUcCHEsI, long
a resident of San Francisco and eminent
in its musical circles, has come to Los
Angeles with view to permanent loca-
ton. The professor is not only eminent
as leader and composer, but is consid-
cred one of the best musical critics in
the country. He will perhaps introduce
himself TO the music-loving people of
Los Angeles by giving concert in which
several OF his most approved compost
tions will be executed. We are glad to
announce the valuable accession of so
distinguished a musician as Professor
Lucchesi to a community like ours,
which is enthusiastically devoted to the
divine art.

THE Sacramento Record-Union drew
timely attention of the state board of
education to the fact that some of the
school journals of the state have fallen
under the malign influences of the east
ern school book ring, and are doing
what they can to bring the textbooks
printed by the state into public dis
repute. Everybody knows by what
dark and devious ways the agents of
the great eastern school-book trust
work. The California departure has
been great thorn in the side OF that
unscrupulous monopoly, and it stops at
nothing to undermine it with the peo-
pie. Last winter it procured the pub
lication in San Francisco papers of state
ments that had long been disproved,
and it had bill introduced in the leg
islature with "bug" concealed in it
that would have wrecked the state text
book system if the "little joker" had
not been discovered just as the bill was
about to pass. The state board OF edu
cation selects an official journal for the
school department, and it would be an
ACT of great injustice to the state text

RETRENCHMENT THE ORDER OF THE
DAY.

The city council passed the ordinance
retrenching salaries and abolishing Of
fees, yesterday, without losing any time
in its discussion. The rules were sus-
pended and all but one member voted
for its passage. 1t affects all depart
ments of the city government, and
makes cuts that in the aggregate will
amount to quite large saving to the
taxpayers. Without entering into the
merits of this measure in detail, we GER
tainly believe that it is high time that
the affairs of this city should be con-
Quoted on cheaper basis than has here
tofore obtained. The municipal ex-
penses of Los Angeles have been out Of
all reason. The taxpayers have been
furnishing money enough to carry on a
city twice the size of ours. The effort
has heretofore been to multiply offices
instead of reducing them. The number
of supernumeraries in every department
has been rather on the principle of inn
peding business than expediting it.
Officials were in each others way, SO
numerous had they become. The last
council was actuated by mania
to make Los Angeles the paradise
of office-holders and the ne-plus-
ultra of municipal extravaganza.
The people have been wonder
fully patient under the weight of the
unnecessary burden they have been
compelled to carry. 1t may be that the
present council has abolished some
places that ought to be retained; but
that is what occurs in every reform of
this character, and the fault, if it have
been committed, is on the right side.
Now il the supervisors would follow
the example set by the city council they
would receive the thanks of the people
allover the county. There is extrava-
gance and waste in every department.
The county roads are eating up too much
money, and the expenditure for bridges
is something that ought to receive Sc
we're overhauling. Bridges are built
across rivers in the summer to be
washed away by the first freshet that
comes along in the winter. They seem
to have been built with view to that.
Instead of giving us a few well-con-
structed and securely fastened bridges
in few places, the policy has been to
place limsy bridges in many places.
Then the court expenses are enormous
and out of all character with the services
rendered. Justices and constables pile
up unnecessary fees, and there is waste
in all directions. Let us have county as
well as city retrenchment.

THE latest conclusion regarding the
missing Hanchette is that he has gone
to South America. If he has delibe-
rately run away from his family, it is
safe to conclude that he is coward and
a scoundrel, provided, of course, that he
is mentally responsible, and he has
never given any indication that he was
not.-Santa Ana Press.
What good is accomplished by putting
forth such impossible "ifs ?' There
could be no possible reason for Mr..
Hanchette to deliberately" desert his
family. Besides, he was not man
made that way. For four years he
filled the position of city editor of this
paper, and we never knew man of
more correct principles, more reliable
and conscientious in the discharge of
all his duties, more devoted to his fam
lily, or more worthy of the unlimited
confidence which his friends reposed in
him. He had no financial reasons to
force him to anv extreme course, for he
was comfortably we'll off in this worlds
goods, whilst the earnings OF his wife as
principal of one of our schools and the
decent salary he himself could always
command, placed them both in most
prosperous position. There are only
two possible hypothesis to account for
his disappearance. One, that he has
wandered away in a state of dementia,
the other that he met with foul play in
Chicago on the night he was to start
for home. We fear for the latter; but
hope for the former as the true expla-
nation of the mystery.

yesterday received a letter from the pro-
prietor of the Solano kennels, at North
Ontario. He expresses regret at the
death OF II. t. Paynes English setter

and that Mr.. Payne intends to send
Dollie Dimrle up there. Dot has just

are by All Sing. Amarylis, the prize
winner, has litter of eight by Kan Koo.
They are reported to be beauties.
