HE SCRATCHED AND BIT.
A DRUNKEN YOUNG BLACKBOARD
PROPERLY HANDLED.
A Railroad Employee Insults a Young
Woman and is Thrashed for His Pains.
He Receives Poetic Justice.

A young man employed in the aud.
itor's department of the Southern Cali
fornia railroad, whose name is withheld
because of consideration, undeserved on
his part, for his friends and position, be-
came intoxicated yesterday afternoon
and got himself into serious trouble in a
Broadway lodging house. A young
lady who has rooms at the place men
toned, was unfortunate enough, at a
recent date, to make the acquaintance
OF the young man, and meeting him on
the street yesterday, he insisted on ac-
companying her to her home. Knowing
no way to get rid of the incumbrance.
she foolishly allowed him to walk along
with her and he followed her to the
door of her room.
Once inside, the festive youth
threw off his coat and vest and
attempted to lock the door, plainly in
dicating by his actions that he had no
good design The young lady became
seriously alarmed Sand ordered the
youth out, raising her voice to such a
pitch that roomer in neighboring
apartment was attracted to the door.
On the appearance of the latter the
young lady asked assistance in eiecting
her unwelcome caller, and the young
man was grabbed by the arm and led
toward the door. Being drunk enough
to be desperate, however, he showed
fight and was flung to the floor and
choked till he was black in the face. In
the scuffle he used his nails to mar the
features of the young lady defender and
tried to use his teeth also. After
being further choked till he was sub
missive, at the young lady's request he
promised to leave the house if he was
let up, and did so after hurriedly DON
ming his coat and vest.
AS he left the room he made threats
OF dire vengeance for his trouncing, and
cried out, "You will hear from me
again, sab, to the man who had been
the chief instrument in his discontinue.
He also made some remarks about
shooting at sight" when he next met
the young man who mopped the floor
with him.
1t may be as we'll said that the gay
railroad man can have all the satisfac-
tion and publicity he wants on applica-
ton to the aforesaid young man, and if
any further trouble is caused by him,
warrant for disturbing the peace will be
speedily sworn out.

WAS THERE A REWARD.
A SEQUEL TO THE STORY OF MAY
AND HENRY'S ADVENTURE.
1t Creates Decided Sensational Report
That Reward was Paid to the Police
for Henry's Return.

The story about May Stow and her
susceptible little Henry, who skipped
out with lot OF his wealthy fathers
good gold coin and his mothers
diamonds, to make trip to San Fran
cisco with her, which was printed in
yesterdays HERALD, created quite stir.
The correctness of the story in the main
was admitted by Chief OF Police Glass
to a HERALD reporter, though the
part which intimated that the
woman's arrest on the charge OF
robbing Bromley was scheme to drive
her away, was denied. The fact, how
ever, that she was on the train coming
from San Francisco, at the time Brom-
ley claimed he was robbed, makes the
matter look very gauzy.
A HERALD reporter was told yesterday
by a person who claimed to know, that
Henry's father had paid the police
officer who went to Fresno for his son
and brought him back, the amount of
500 TOR his services. This may or may
not be SO; If it is so, however, it will
probably be made known at the next
meeting of the police commission, for it
is the rule to pay into the city treasury
all rewards gained by the police, as was
done with the reward paid for the re-
covery of the Wagner diamonds.
If the city gains $500 by the work of
the police in this matter, it will not be
Objectionable, though it is hardly ac-
cording to Hoyle to arrest young man,
and instead of jailing him or taking him
before a magistrate, to take him home
to his father in a cab. However, the
family is respected one and the boy
has probably learned lesson, and there
is no reason why the matter should be
disagreeably investigated only, if the
statement should be true, that $500, or
any amount, was paid for the return of
the prodigal son, the coin, and the dia-
monds. the city ought to have it in rec
ompense for the use of the police depart
mentin the matter.

MORE PARKS.
The Floral Society Advocates Their
Creation.

At the meeting OF the Floral society
In the chamber of commerce last even
ing, several contemplated changes in the
bylaws, relating to the name of the
society, fees, dues, ETC., were presented,
to be discussed and acted upon two
weeks from date.
MIR. II. Rowland Lee, in his essay on
Public Parks and Arboriculture, advo-
Gated them as public necessities, and not
in any sense as luxuries. New York,
even, with her magnificent Central and
other parks appreciates this, as shown
by an allowance to the board of park
commissioners of fund of 10000, 900,
to be used in the condemnation
and purchase of property in other
parts to furnish more of these
luncheon places. Detroit is converting
an island into park, and connecting It
with the city by bridge two miles and
two hundred feet long, and in, some
places a half mile wide.
A park might be made in this city in
five years that would be more effective
as an advertisement of the beauties of
this favored cline than any other
means or form. With intelligent group
ings and labels, instruction would be
conveyed with pleasure. To physical
might certainly be added mental and
even moral recuperation.
The speaker outlined a complete park
in all its attractive, necessary and pos
sible features, and the subject was con-
tinued and the essay commented upon
by Messrs. Stern, Franklin, Harvey,
Krukerberg and others.
Mr.. Stern wondered that there
were not more trees along the streets.
He has not yet found out that shade is
not so much of necessity for comforts
sake as the tropical nature of the
country would seem to indicate.
Arrangements are not yet completed
for the spring exhibition, but notice
will soon be given.
Mr.. Tomlinson, the superintendent OF
parks, will deliver an essay on Window
Gardening at the next meetiny, two
weeks from last evening

Pomona valley for Oranges.

The reputation of oranges raised in
the Pomona valley is increasing year by
year. For all the fine qualities which
the aesthetic taste of discriminating
market demands, and for clear, bright
and attractive appearance, the citrus
fruit raised in and around this city
takes now prominent position. But in
this valley, as everywhere else in citrus
growing California, the foothills and
higher mesa lands are looked to and re-
sarded as being more especially adapted
to the growth Of the finest oranges.

covered lands lying along the base of the
mountains and foothills and extending

A Train for Monrovia to Leave this
Morning.
At half-past twelve last night the fol-
lowing statements were officially made
from the Santa Fe offices:
The Santa Fe this morning will run a
train to Monrovia, leaving at 7 AS. This
will return and connect with the 10 15
train for Redondo.
Local trains will be run to Pasadena
and Redondo as necessity may demand,
not on schedule time.
The condition of the road to the east
OF Cotton could not be ascertained, any
more than all that part of the Cajon
pass, which had been terraced and
rooted, had stood the food without any
damage. There are few slides in the
pass, but not where the roofing was
done.
1t is expected that trains to San Ber-

SAN BERNARDINo, Feb. 23.-Additional
news of damage by the flood comes in
from all quarters. AL! the bridges on
Lytle creek have been taken out, and
there is no way to cross that stream in
any way. So far as heard from, there is
but one bride left whole on the Santa
Ana river, that is the Santa Fe bridge
on the Redlands branch. The Southern
Pacific bridge on the Santa Ana river is
partially destroyed. The Santa Fe
bridge on the road to Riverside is gone.
The motor bridge on the line to River
side is gone; also the wagon bridge.
Fifty feet OF the big fume are gone.
The flume is over 5000 feet long. The
pipe line for the Riverside domest
supply is damaged, also, so that River
side now will have no water supply till
repairs can be made.
The American school house on Lytle
creek went down with the flood. Sew
eral houses and barns along Lytle creek
were washed away, and many acres OF
pital grounds are washed away very
badly.
The train from Barstow due yesterday
could not arrive, and the Mojave river
is reported five feet higher than ever
before known.
All the families between town and
Lytle creek, south of the city, left their
houses and moved into town, some
moving during the night. One hun
dred feet of the Southern Pacific track
between Cotton and the round house
washed out.
The rainfall for the season is 1882
inches; for February, 7.7S inches. This
storm was more severe here than the
great storm Of February, 1884, that
washed out Temecula caflon. No lives
have been lost, so far as known. l
COTTON, Feb. 23.-It commenced rain
ing here about 3 p. m. yesterday, and
has rained necessarily since. The total
rainfall for the storm is 2.95 inches, and
still raining hard.
The rivers and creeks are higher than
has been known for years. The follow
ing bridges were wholly or partly
washed away: The Southern Pacific,
across the Santa Ana river; the Califor-
mia Southern, across the Santa Ana
river at two of it's crossings, and also
across Lytle creek; the street railroad
bridge Lytle creek; also the motor road
bridge across the same creek and across
the Santa Ana river. Several spans of

LOVE LETTERS.
One That Won a Judge and Won a
Prize.

A lord chancellor Of England charac-
terized the following letter, which was
in evidence before him, as one OF the
most beautiful he had ever read:
MoIs DE MARIE, LIE 6.
CARO- CARLO MIo-You can only write
at nights that the reason you write so
seldom? l can write to you any hour
of the day or night, and do not require
either the silent night or the muse of
darkness to place me en- rapport with
you. 1t is my only pleasure now, and

SO much to come; all nature is SO lovely
that it is sin not to rejoice with her in
her smiling bright new dress.

SONS, and the air is heavy with delici-
GUS odors-there is south wind breath
ing warmth and telling me of you-all
the little birds are chorusing in Joyous
melody existence is perfect bliss to
them. Two of them are lovingly con-
templating constructing little settle

and be sung to.
The sea is as clear and bright as a
mirror or ones first dream of love; and
the porpoises are splashing and rolling
about in the very height Of enjoyment.
They all go swimming together, and do
not condemn one to live solitary, even in
the loveliest sea grotto. The very insects
go dancing and sparkling in the sun
shine. They seem in perfect ecstasy
OF delight, and never know when to
stop. Their small humming makes an
accompaniment to the rest of natures
music. Beautiful little flowers are
clinging to and fraternizing with grim
old stones. Clear ripping water is
whispering the sweetest things to low
ing, listening mossy banks. All things
have found sympathizer but l alone
so you must come, and We'll a-may-

The following trivial composition won
prize as "the best written letter ac-
cepting an offer OF marriage" But
there is no love in it:
Fresh with the breath of the morning
came your loving missive. l have
turned over every leaf Of my heart dur

same written, namely, gratitude for the
love OF noble man, humility in finding

many changes for the better have taken
place on the Mescalero reservation, and
another agent may be appointed; the
resignation OF Indian Agent Segura,
OF the Pueblo agency, and the
filing of that vacancy with some
other appointee will also be conducive
to the best interests OF the service. AS
far as the people of New Mexico is con-
cerned, the Indian policy of the admin

HURTING THE RAILROADS.

Between the use of railroad passes and
the South Carolina Farmers Alliance
Governor Tillman is having mighty hard
time of it; his explanation to the Far
mers' Alliance that the best way to hurt a
railroad company is to pay no fare, will
not 60 down as easily as he would have it !;
this reminds us that about all the great
reformers of the land, the PETERS, the
Simpsons and the like, travel on railroad
passes; nothing like hurting the railroads
in that way; if there is only enough OF it
done, it is hound to tell in the long run.

NEW MEXICO COAL LANDS.

In few weeks more the coal mining
industry will be in full blast in New Mex
leo, continuing throughout the winter sea-
son. This fact seems again to remind
one that in respect to the area and variety
OF her Goals no state or territory in the
union can excel New Mexico, and as it is
with her forests of yellow pine and the
products Of her fertile valleys, there is an
absolutely safe and ready market at hand
for every ton OF coal that the energies of
man can produce. Especially favored in
this matter is New Mexico respecting
market for her coal, coke and charcoal.
No other section of the nation enjoys
broader sweep of trade territory with
less competition. Take glance to the
eastward and then to the south, and
from the Pacific coast of California to the
western coast of Texas is vast region of
country, rapidly building up, which prsc-
tically ever rely on New Mexico coal
fields for their full supply. When we
consider the demand for coal at this time
in California alone, and note the earnest
ness with which her press and people are
discussing the future fuel supply of the
state, the wonder is that capital and en-
ergy are not going more extensively into
the undertaking OF meeting this demand.
The future of the coal mining industry in
New Mexico is certainly bright; it could
scarcely be more hattering, and while the
records show that some 10000 acres of
cool lands have been entered in western
and northern New Mexico during the
past year, still there are many thousands
of acres of desirable lands yet to be had
for the taking,
