THE LEoNIs WILL CASE.
Mrs. Lefingweii Gives Some Rae
Testimony Against Espiritu.


Mrs. Leffingwell, former neighbor OF
Miguel Leonis, whose will is now being
contested in department two of the SUI
perior court by Espiritu Chijulla, his
alleged wife, was the principal witness
in the case yesterday. Mrs. Leffingwell
had had some trouble with Leonis about
land and the old Frenchman called on
her one day to discuss the question.
They talked about Espritu, whom Leo
mis- said was only his housekeeper, whose
services he paid for at the rate of $15 per
month. During the conversation Leo
mis- suggested that Mrs. Lefiingwell take
Espiritu's place. He would pay her the
same wages, or more, and would be ena-
bled to save money if she came, by dis
charging his interpreter, Antonis, whose
services were costly.
Mrs. Leffingwell Indignantly spurned
the offer. II would not have anything
to do with you or be around you for a
billion minute" she said. The prin-
cipal part of the lady's testimony was
the fact that Leonis had specifically de-
MED that Espiritu was his wife, or was
anything more to him than house
keeper. Mrs. Leffingwell frankly ad-
mitted that she was anxious for the
heirs to win the case, because, in that
event, her claim against the estate for
costs in suit which she had won from
Leonis, would be satisfied.
Several other witnesses were exam
ined, but their testimony was merely
corroborative of that of Mrs. Letting
well.

The outlook for the fruit crop in the
northwestern part of New York and in
the states bordering on the lakes is not
encouraging. The early spring weather
was warm, and prematurely brought out
the blossoms on the trees. The warm
spell was suddenly succeeded in the be-
ginning of this month by very cold
wave, carrying with it in some places a
blighting frost, which greatly injured
the embryonic fruit. In some of the
orchards near Rochester, New York, a
remarkable phenomenon was discovered.
The fruit buds, when cut in two, and ex-
amined with microscope, were found
TO contain worm in the center Of each
bud. This was something entirely new
to the orchardists, and greatly discour-
aged them. The weather, however,
moderated, and there was hope that
there might yet be considerable fruit
crop in the districts that had been
touched by frost; but two days ago the
dispatches announced another visitation
of frost, and the probable destruction of
the fruit crop in northwestern New
York and Michigan. OF course the
shortness of crops in the east will have
to be made up from California, and our
fruits ought, therefore, to bring a good
price. They will do so, unless the pack
ing trust is permitted to have every
thing its own way.
Los Angeles herald., 1891-05-21

THE fruit-packing trust, that has been
threatened for some time, has finally
fully materialized in San Francisco.
Amongst the members of the trust is
the Southern California Packing COM
pany of Los Angeles and the Cotton
company. This combination is organ
lied confessedly for the purpose of en-
abling its members to realize greater
profit on their goods than they do now.
They can accomplish this by two
methods-one to limit the amount OF
fruit packed; and the other, to fix the
price they will allow the growers for
their green fruit. This they must take
or let the fruit rot on the trees. We
shall soon see the injurious effects of
this combination unless the fruit grow
ers get together and prepare to ward off
the blow. If the growers in each fruit
neighborhood should club together and
put UP packing establishment for
themselves, they would neutralize the
evil effects of the combination, and be
in position to market their own goods at
profitable prices. If not they will be at
the mercy of this new trust.

THERE is cruel war now going on in
San Bernardino county over the ques-
tion of building new courthouse.
Riverside leads the phalanxes of the
opposition, and there is trace ofcounty-
division animus inits determined stand.
The question of bonds for the purpose will
be submitted to the people, and it looks
as if there will be combination against
the proposition outside the county seat
that will defeat.it. Nevertheless the fact
remains that San Bernardino requires
new courthouse as much as Los Angeles
did four years ago.

citizens generally, seem to have been
in unison. We advise our critic to stick
pin there, and to labor himself, and
persuade the few Democrats who agree
with him-if indeed he is Democrat
or there are any Democrats who think
in his cross-eyed fashion-to fall into
line behind reputable Democrats. The
path of success is straight and narrow
one, such as that which is supposed to
lead to heaven, and it is epitomized in
the proposition toput none but true men
and true Democrats on guard.

profit in vineyardists converting their
wine into brandy instead Of selling It for
ten cents gallon to the wine-buyers,
As it is claimed that there is a large
amount OF surplus wine in the state,
here is way to get rid of it to advan-
tage. At all events, the unsatisfactory
state of the wine market ought to cause
our vignerons to pay more attention
than they do to the fact that brandy is
saleable article and increasing in de-
mand at good paying rates. Only the
choicest juices should be put on the
wine market; the rest should be con-
verted into grape brandy.

In ONE of his swinging-round-the-cir-
Gle speeches President Harrison said
that the time had come "when we must
claim our share in the worlds COM
merce." There is a strong SAVIOR of
Democracy in that declaration, which
perhaps is the result of wider view of
the country than he had had in his
pent-up Utica OF Indianapolis or Wash
ington. Mckinley says: "Let us trade
among ourselves and thus keep the
money of the people in our own family"
Mac and Ben are beginning to diverge
and will, if they continue, reach widely
separated antipodean positions. Macs
keeping of the money in our own family,
means that it shall aggregate in the
hands of the great trusts enriched from
the earnings OF the people by tariff
framed in their interest.

THIS journal is in receipt of COM
munication from person in Los
Angeles, calling himself a Demo-
crat, who objects to our calling
attention to the extravaganza of our mu-
nicipal and county governments. The
writer of the low-fung and vulgar screed
is an uneducated person, who belongs to
that lamentably too extended tribe
which we venture to baptize as the illit-
erati. His spelling is in line with his
political morals, and both are execrably
bad. Like all rude and pompeus ignor-
amuses, he thinks he knows how to
instruct the conductors of a newspaper.
He says that the HERALD is RESPONSE
BILE for the defeat of the Democratic
ticket at the late election, and adds that
this journal was actuated by personal
spite in so dong. We beg to call his
attention to the fact that If the HERALD
were indeed the cause of the defeat of the
Democratic candidate for mayor it rem
dered a conspicuous public service in
that regard. "A newspaper never fills

in order to maintain the party's honor.
1t is the duty of political con-
vention to place men of standing, con-
sistent political record and high personal
character before the people. A party
obligation only has force when this duty
has been conscieutiously discharged.
The HERALD is heartily Democratic, and
in the best sense; but when boilers,
and men who represent not single
aspiration of the party, are placed in
the front, it will give them their own
medicine. In other words, to vary the
simile, they will be hoist by their own
petard if this journal can bring that
result about. Our correspondent seems
to be very earnest in his be-
lief that we defeated candidates whom
we deemed unworthy. Consequently, !

VERY large shipments of California.
brandy are reported from San Francisco.
This brandy goes to Europe to be sold
as cognac, after some slight sophistica-
ton. This is, of course, preferable to
the cognac which the ravages of the
phylloxera have forced the brandy
makers of France to distil out of pota-
toes and cereals. The demand for our
grape brandy is augmenting yearly, and
the production has gone on steadily in
creasing in volume. The amount shipped
last year was 641, 1903 gallons, and this
year it will probably reach round
million. Five years ago we exported
only 26O,765 gallons. The price for
grape brandy in bond here is two dollars
a gallon. There would be sense and

Red Rice today suggests as follows. to-wit:
Having made purchase of some pretty, orna-

will make you nice lawn or porch chairs, cheap
too; also, some extra fine sideboards and ward

at Red Rices now, for Red Rice keeps about
everything. Take look at those couches and
lounges. They are just splendid. And then
we are way ahead of others in quality and way
behind in prices Y III see we can't get so
large prices for goods at Red Rices as others
can. You expect to get goods for less at Red
Rice's than elsewhere, don't you? There are
other things besides right prices you expect and
get at Red Rices. Among these are fair and
courteous treatment no Misrepresentation
prompt and careful attention, together with the
largest assortment on this coast to select from.

SEND IN YOUR STATEMENTS.
The City Assessor Will Otherwise
s. Mark Up Your Property.

Mark Up Your Property.
The city assessor is kicking at the
slowness with which property owners
are sending in their statements. Notices
have been sent to every house, Office
and store in the city, and if property is
assessed to unknown owners now, it
will be the fault of the real owners.
The omission to send in statements,
according to the law, empowers the as
SCISSOR to make an arbitrary assessment,
which cannot be reduced by any action
afterward.

Hon. George r. Vending, of Wash

attractions on the list of the star lecture
course, advertised for Los Angeles by the
ex-Rev. S. j. Fleming. Mr.. Vending
lectured in Los Angeles a number OF
times few years ago, and drew the
largest houses of any lecturer who has
ever appeared in this city. He is to lec-
ture in connection with the star course
in Riverside and San Diego, and it is to
be hoped that the difficulties of the un-
fortunate Fleming will not deprive Los
Angeles people of the treat of listening

THE GREASER GENERALS VIGILANCE.

SAN ANTONIO, TEX. Oct. 12.-Seven
miles below Rio Grande City, Tex, and on
the opposite side of the river, the body of a
nephew of Julien Flores, suspected revo-
lutionist, swings to tree with 10 bullet
holes in 1t. He was arrested some days ago
and left for Victoria under guard of sol.
dlers. The corpse is rotting away, but no
one is bold enough to cut it down.
Felipe Sinas, another member of Garzas'
band, was caught on the 9Th inst, and has
been removed in the same way. The
soldiers excuse the deaths of these men by
stating they were killed under warrants
of the State, which is called "La ly
Fulge." 1t is law permitting the shoot
ing of prisoner who attempts to escape
By its warrant hundreds of men have been
executed in Mexico within the last five
years.
A political prisoner is given to under
stand that he must make break for lib
erty, and that if he does not he will be shot
anyhow. The victim is allowed to get
start of ten yards of his captors, and is
then tumbled on his fact with bullets
through his back. 1t is noticeable that
these Escapes" never occur in a thickly
wooded or bushy country where the pris-
oner would have some chance to dodge.
The military rule instituted by the Mex
lean General along the Rio Grande since
the Cara outbreak is an exceedingly strict
one, and the people are afraid to be seen in
groups of two and three.

Held to Court for Counterfeitine.

Albert c. Balls, alias George Washing
ton, aid Samuel Frankey were given hear
ing before United States Commissioner Nc
Candless yesterday on charge of having in
their possession and passing counterfeit
coin. The informations were made by
United States Detective McSweeney. The
men were arrested on Saturday night on
Center avenue by Officer Myers for attempt
ing to pass bad coin. When searched, Balls
had S27 10 in counterfeit 80, % and 10 cent
coins. Frankey had no counterfeit money,
but had quantity of change in his pockets.
1t was figured from this that Balls carried
the counterfeit while Frankey did the pas
sing and received the change. Commits
sioner McCandless committed both men to
Jail in default of $1,000 each for trial at
court, which opens next week The two men
have only been out of the penitentiary about
two months Balls served term for coun-
terfeiting, and Frankey served four years
