ADJUSTMENTS.
THE GRAND.

THE GRAND.
Daniel Frohman's Lyceum Theatre
company will begin its third engagement
here at the Grand opera house next Tues
day evening. This company has been SO
thoroughly accepted by the Los Angeles
public that no word of commentator is
necessary. The assurance that the favor
ties of former visits are still among the
players, with added new faces, concern
ing whom the best of reports have
reached US, is sufficient to convince its
many admirers that this engagement OF
the Lyceum players will be fully as nota-
BILE as the previous ones. The extensive
list of plays to be offered includes more
novelties than have been given in the
same length of time by any company for
years. The opening bill will be The
Charity Ball, by Belasco and De Mile,
authors of The Wife, and ran the whole
season year before last at the Lyceum
theatre, New York. 1t has been equally
successful in Chicago, Philadelphia,
Washington and Bos ton, the only cities
visited by this company during last sum-
mer's tour. 1t is the first of the new
plays the Lyceum company will give
here. 1t is written in the same vein as
The Wife, and is play in which Wall
street society and the church are CO.
equally prominent. The Idler, by c.
Haddon Chambers, author of Captain
Swift, is announced for Thursday night
of the engagement, and Saturday night
will be given to a production of Dion
Boucicault's rare old comedy, Old Heads
and Young Hearts.

INDICATIONS FOR A GREAT FAIR.

The directors of the Sixth District
Agricultural association met yesterday
to make arrangements for their twelfth
annual fair. At this meeting the racing
programme was principally considered,
and spirit of great liberality prevailed.
Purses to the amount sof $4,000 were
arranged for, which are sufficient in
volume to attract the best horses in
California. The fact that all the great
California stables will be back fro m the
east by that date will add greatly
to the interest OF the event, which will
run from the 10th to the oath of Octo-
ber. This circumstance will secure us a
flashing season. Next week the di-
rectors will meet and arrange for an
agricultural and horticultural fair,
which will doubtless be on a scale
commensurate with the speed pro-
gramme. Altogether, we should have a
week Of unexampled attractions.

YUNG HIM'S MURDER.
THE PRELIMINARY EXAMINATION
OF ANTONIO MASIAS.
Good-The Murdered Mans Partner
and Friends Testify.

The preliminary examination OF young
Antonio Masias, who is charged with
the murder of Chinaman named Yung
Him at Ballona, was continued yester-
day afternoon before Justice Stanton in
the township court.
j. G. Machado, Charles Freeman, w.
Saenz, J. J. Chapman, V. Lugo, and S.
A. Waldron, all character witnesses for
the defense, were put on the stand out
OF order, and all testified that Masias
bore an excellent reputation as far as
they knew.
Yung Sing, partner of the mur-
dered man, was then called, and testi-
fed that the day of the killing he left
home at 3 am, as usual, to make his
regular route with the vegetable deliv-
cry wagon. On his return at 7:3O
O'Clock he found him sitting or reclining
in the seat of the wagon, which was
standing in front of the shanty with the
horses still attached to it, He
thought that his partner was
asleep, but on going up to
rouse him he discovered that Him
was a corpse. The dead mans head
hung over the back of the seat and his
blood cover ed the box of the wagon and
the trays of vegetables. The pocket of
Him's overalls, on the right side, was
turned inside out. He usually carried
the money realized from the sale of veg
etables in this pocket, but his individual
money he carried in an inside pocket,
which was untouched. Him had started
out that morning with about $15 worth
of vegetables and had disposed of the
whole load. @&
The witness followed the wagon
trail back to a spot where there
was a large pool of blood in
the road. At this point Sing
discovered the impression Of Him's hat
in the sand, but the hat had been car
ried away. The witness identified the
knife and purse found on Masias as
those belonging to his partner.
Lou Bo and Lou Sen, two vegetable
peddlers, were put on the stand and cor
roborated Ling's testimony. Bo took
out the same kind and quantity of vege-
tables as did Him on the day of the
murder and got $l8 for them.
The case will be resumed TODAY,

GRUB FOR cHILEANs.
San Diegans Propose to Help the
Hungry and Make Money.

Edward N. Buck, the editor of the
San Diego San Diegan, is in the city in
the furtherance of a commercial propo-
sition by which he and his associates
expect to reap golden returns on a
small investment. The scheme is to
load ship of 1000 tons capacity at San
Diego with flour, canned goods, cured
meats and general provisions, and send
her to Iquique, where the cargo will be
sold for gold to the insurgents at prices
which will return very handsome
profit to the projectors.
Mr.. Buck, George S. Wheatley and
Hampden Storey. all prominent San
Diegans, propose to furnish, man and
victual the ship, convey her cargo to
Iquique, and divide the net profits with
the merchants who load the vessel. 1t
is estimated that cargo of the size
intended will cost $4,000, and of this
$4,000 worth has already been obtained.
Mr.. Buck says that there is millions in
it, and expects to interest enough pro-
vision dealers of this city to make up
the remainder of the cargo.

WHY DID THEY ADJOURN3
Short and Quiet Meeting of the Board
of Education.

OF Education.
The board of education met last night.
Not only was there full attendance of
the board, but the lobby and the gal
lery were full also. There was preach
er or two, several of the teachers dropped
by the classification committee, large
number of women, and several members
of last years school board, in addition
to large number of casual visitors who
had come to see the fight. One of the
preachers remarked to the HERALD re-
porter just previous to the meeting :: II
am not a betting man, butI'll bet any
thing you like up to $5 that the board
don't hold any meeting tonight" The
HERALD reporter didn't take .himtup,
for there was feeling of electricity in
the air that Indicated storm of some
sort. 1t was lucky he didn't, for, after
the reading of the minutes, the board
merely ordered the return of the bids
and checks ~uon the Carey street
and Ann street schools, then moved to
adjourn. Mr.. Davis wanted to know
why the board adjourned, but no one
told him. The gallery smiled signifi-
cantly at each other, and an adjourn
ment was taken to Friday night.
The classification committee held
meeting after the meeting of the board,
but had not arrived at any decision
when the reporter left. y
''What did they want to adjourn for ?"
queried Mr.. Davis. We had our little
entertainment on Saturday; why
couldn't the board stand little of the
same? What did they say to us? Well,
not much of anything. They wanted to
know why we discharged some teachers
We didn't discharge any. The contracts
were only for year, and all terminated
this month. We simply failed to re-
engage them. 1t has come to a
pretty pass if the board can't
drop teacher for inefficiency
without having the teachers and their
friends jump on us and ask the reason.
The lady who did the most talking the
other day was Mrs. DIR. Dorsey, who had
no possible interest in the matter any
how. There was one other lady who did
some talking, but she did very little
talking and was very ladylike and po-
lite."
Mr.. Crowley, in an interview with-the
HERALD reporter after the meeting,
said: Everything is all right. There
has been little Misunderstanding, but
everything will be all right and har-
monious by the time the board meets
next Friday night"
M. @. Marsh, in response to a cues
ton, replied: II don't know of any
particular trouble in the board. I OBJ
jected to the acceptance OF the resigna-
tion of Miss Slack, the principal OF the
Alpine street school, because 1 had re-
ceived petition numerously signed by
parents Of children under her charge
who wanted her reinstated for the com
ing year."
"Why didn't the board hold meet
ing tonighto" remarked gallery specta.
tor, "why, the reason is plain enough.
They. were afraid to hold one. The
classification committee will have a
meeting now, some compromises will be
made, and next Friday night the board
will hold session as uninteresting as a
convention of sheep"
Los Angeles herald., 1891-08-04

The engineer corps Of the Southern Pa
cific railway is now at work at the Santa
Monica canon, with full equipment of
horses and working paraphernalia. All
doubt has been removed as to the square,
business-like character of this move
ment. That corporation has secured the
right of way from Santa Monica to the
old cafion, and everything bespeaks en-
ergetic track-laying in that direction.
Slowly but surely the programme which
the HERALD has outlined will be carried
through. Our leaden-gaited contempo-
raries are obliged, as usual, to
come in a day after the fair.
They will gradually range them
selves in line, and realize that the
world do move" Railway construc-
ton on a considerable scale will also
shortly begin to the south of Santa
Monica. Mr.. Campbell, representing a
corporation which it requires no great
powers of Imagination to recognize as
the Santa Fe. has obtained the right of
way from Inglewood to the old Bernard
wharf at South Santa Monica, and rail
way building will begin shortly
from the former point. Captain
Hutchinson has sold the project
ors of this latter road 24O acres
near the old Bernard wharf, thirteen of
which have been set apart as terminal
The right of way from Inglewood en-
braces one hundred feet in width, with
the exception of half mile which will
doubtless be shortly conceded or ulti-
mately condemned. Evidently our
Santa Monica friends are to be the ben
efciary of the old adage that it never
rains but it pours.

Business Transacted at Yesterdays
Meeting of the Board.
At the meeting of the board of super
visors, yesterday, the representatives of
the original petitioners for the lorna
ton of Levee district No. 2, appeared
before the board and made the state
ment that they were of the opinion that
the majority of the property owners in
terested had not signed the petition.
On this showing all action taken here
tofore by the board in the matter was
rescinded. The election had already
been held, and the supervisors were
about to canvass the returns, when this
unexpected phase of the case turned up.
petition was filed for the formation
of the Alhambra irrigation district, aud
the hearing was set for August 7th.
Yesterday was the regular day set by
the board for the approval of demands
on the county treasury, and the greater
part of the day was spen: in this busi-
ness.

HAS THE LAW ANY MEANING?

All over California a great cry is
arising at the miscarriage of justice.
Compromising felony seems to be the
easiest sort OF thing anywhere in this
state. People who are by no means
strait-laced are appalled, at the ease
with which flagrant offences are con-
doned. Take one case, conspicuous for
its sensational features! On the night
of July 25th prominent citizen of Los
Angeles was aroused from his bed by
the outcries of girl proceeding from
the Sixth street park. He rushed
over and found her wildly distracted,
and weeping, and accusing man named
William Luckenbach of having commit
ted a rape on her person. Mr.. Gassen,
the intervenor in the cause of decency
and law and order, brought both parties
to the central police station, the girl
weeping violently all the way. What
was the result of crime which desc
Grated park dedicated to the innocent
amusement of the citizen and the ladies
of his family? This man Lucken-
bach was arraigned on the 3Orh of
July, five days later, on a charge
of disturbing the peace-a COM
paratiyeiy yenial offence. He plead
guilty, and August 1st was set for his
sentence. This, at the request of the
district attorney was postponed until he
could investigate the matter further.
Luckenbach, who has "pull' at the
city hall, his brother being in the en-
ploy Of City Clerk Teed, was defended
by Assistant City Attorney Dunn. The
girl, through some hocus pocus, has
been persuaded or frightened into con-
doning this felony. By Luckenbach's
own confession at the police Office, on the
night of the disgraceful occurrence, he
was guilty of fornication which,
it is to be hoped, is an offense under the
statutes of California. The people of
Los Angeles will watch with intense in
terest the further progress of this case.
Have we any laws? If so, are they to
be held up to public mockery and scorn
Are our parks to be made the scene of
intolerable outrages on public decency,
and all without redress? 1t is to be
hoped that the district attorney will
carry out his investigations with some
regard to law and to justice.

A Pretty Chambermaid Accused Of
Stealing.
Mrs. Lizzie Brown, Nadeau house
