The Sayings, of Boyle Heights, yes.
terday published the following sensa-
tional story:
"The quiet, prosperous little town of
Whittier, in this county, is filed with
bitter and openly expressed Indignation.
The good people of the Heights are just
as much wrought up. The story of inn
position on young girl has crept out
of secrecy, and as it goes from mouth to
mouth denunciation of the whole affair
becomes most vigorous. The names of
all the actors in it are we'll known and
on every lip. Legal proceedings will
give them to the world. In the mean
time, in order to further the laws
searching ends, the name OF the young
lady will be withheld; but the story
must be told in society's interest, for
the protection of young girls travelling
alone and subjected to the necessity of
spending the night among strangersin
strangeplace.
Into little house near the station
of Whittier, on the Santa Fe, pretty
young girl carried a load of unhappy ex-
perience about three days ago. She
went to the home of her sister from her
uncle's weary woman, whose hopes
seemed to be even as dead sea.
"Tbe story, briefly told, is this: The
girl had occasion to come to Los Angeles
on shopping expedition, and while
here met with man named Frank
Furness, an enploye of the Southern
Pacific. A casual acquaintance made
the young man bold, and without even
the ceremony of an introduction, he
made himself agreeable, and at once
planned the ruin of the unsophisticated
girl from Whittier. She accepted. He
told her that he would go to his room
for a change of clothes and would
return to the Santa Fe depot
for her. and would also secure
the services of minister and get
license. He returned at the appointed
hour and was accompanied by a minis
terial looking individual, who was intro-
duced as the Rev. Mr.. Simpson. The
party went to the parlors of a. promin-
ent hotel in this city and went through
the forms of marriage. That night the
couple attended the theater, returned to
their room after the performance was
over, and the next morning the deep
dyed villain informed the'girl that the
marriage was only mock one and that
both had been imposed upon. The poor,
heart-broken girl left immediately for
Whittier, related her experience to
gentleman friend, who Immediately
came to this city and swore out war
rant for the arrest of Furness."
A HERALD reporter last evening was
detailed to find out what officer arrested
Mr.. Furness, but the police and county
officials disclaimed all knowledge of any
such case. The reporter also could not
find any information about where the
complaint was filed. Mr.. Furness could
not be found, and the Boyle Heights
people who were seen last evening were
very reticent about the matter.l ~

Br'er Times, let's move shoulder to
shoulder on the councils works. The
HERALD will only insist upon one amend
ment. 1t will require that the ordinance
shall make it not only compulsory that
the tin plates shall be Of American
make, but that they shall be dippedin tin
from the Temescal mine. With that pa
triotic addition to the garbage-disposing
ordinance, every mother's son of the
Mckinley bushwhackers will be placat-
ed, and the lion-hearted Democracy hav-
ing forced the enemy into consistency
will sheath its unfleshed tomahawk.

AFTER .-HUNSAKER.
COUNT RULOHvASBAsK'S STORY
BOBS UP AGAIN.
The Woman in the Case Now Wants Ben
Hunsaler Arrested for EmbeZzlement
Her Allegations.

Late yesterday afternoon sensational
complaint was filed in Justice Stanton's
court against Ben f. Hunsaker, charg-
ing him with the embezzlement of $500.
The complaining witness is the woman
over whom the recent scandal occurred,
in which Count Rulohvasbask claimed
her as his wife. The dramatic episodes
in that case are still fresh in the minds
OF the readers of the HERALD, having
occurred only few weeks since. The
woman's present status is somewhat
hazy, as she admitted having been di-
vorced from Mr.. Clark in San Fran
cisco, the count now claiming her as his
wife, while Ben Hunsaker has occupied
more or less intimate relations with her.
Be she maid, wife or widow, she accuses
young Hunsaker with having embezzled
$500 from her and is camping on his
trail. The honeymoon appears to have
come to sudden close, and she has ell
at once awakened from her dream of
trust in the young gentleman.
At the district attorneys office she
gave the points of her story, and enough
was learned to know that she asserts
that she gave Hunsaker $4,000 to. buy
the Carleton saloon. 1t was to be run
for her benefit. Since the first amount
was placed she has given him $500
more towards the running expenses.
She trusted in the honesty of the young
man and the promises he made that the
place should be run either in her name
or for her. Recently, however, she ae-
serts that she has found out that he
placed the business in the name of some
one unknown to her and that she has 10
chance whatever to recover any of her
money. She has not received dollar,
and further says that she has nothing to
show for dollar of the amount.
Yesterday, she states, she asked Hun
saker for the money, or to secure her in
some manner, but he did not do SO, and
she finally decided to go to the district
attorney and institute criminal proceed
ings. She called there late in the after
noon with her attorney, Mr.. Prescott,
and remained closeted with District At
torney McIachlan for some time. The
result was the drawing up of the COM
plant. It'was filed before Justice Stan
ton about 5 80 O'Clock, and a warrant
issued for the defendant. a
The officers found the defendant last
night at the saloon on South Spring
street, and he was taken before Justice
Stanton. His bond was fixed at $4,000,
which he gave and was released from
custody,

ARTHUR McKEwEN, in his syndicate
letter this week, tries to work up a
rneretricious kind of pathos over the
fate of young McMullen, who blew his
brains out in San Francisco bagnio last
week. If the suicide was 28 years old,
he can hardly be spoken OF as a rash
and immature boy. The fact is the
sons of the pioneers who succeeded to
large fortunes are in many cases very
degenerate set. Unearned money
has spoiled them. OF course
there are many splendid and nota-
BILE exceptions, young men who will use
the wealth they fell heirs to as the means
to life of usefulness and honor. Nc
Mullen's father was Texas ranger in
the Lone Star times, and figured in the
Mexican war with Jack Hayes. He was
q man of great nerve and of business
capacity. At the close of the Mexican
war, when gold was discovered in Cali
fornia. he and Wash Trahern came out
here with the first rush. They located
near Stockton and went into the cattle
gubluCSh. 1Hcy ulONC SiOoo D"hOo VI
cattle from the lower country to
their ranch, and from that point
supplied the southern mines with
beef. Steers that we're bought
here. or brought from Texas at small
cost, were sold at the mines for five
ounces and over of gold dust per head.
Trahern and McMullen made a great
deal of money, of course, and as they
were both shrewd business men, it in
creased and multiplied in their hands.
When John McMullen died he left his
vile very large fortune. If it had been
otherwise, and the mother had been
compelled to bring up their children to
earn their bread III the sweat
of their face, young McMullen
might have made as good
a man as his father. San Francisco is
Eeeming with the boys of rich pioneers,
who are altogether worthless. But none
of them have wound up their careers un-
der more disgraceful attendant circum-
stances than those that surrounded the
death of young McMullen. In major
ity of instances the very worst thing a
man can leave to his children is so much
wealth that they find it needless on
their part to enter any useful calling.

OPENING OF PEOPLES STORE.
A Most Magnificent Display at the
Promenade Concert.

Last evening was a gala one at the
Peoples Store. The entire establish
ment was brilliantly illuminated and
the handsome show windows were most
beautifully arranged and attracted all
who passed by. The artistic dressing of
the store was a complete surprise to
every one, being the ideas of the sales
people. The magnificent styles of mil
linery, including the imported pattern
hats which were even outrivaled by the
hats produced in their own establish
ment attracted widespread admiration.
Every department was presided over by
salespeople elegantly attired, whose
smiles it was worth gong miles to see.
The furniture in the windows was
from the Los Angeles Furniture COM
pany. Delightful music was rendered
till 8 80, after which banquet and ball
was rendered by the management to
their employees and friends.
One OF the most pleasant and imposing
events of the evening occurred during
the banquet, when one of the employees
arose and in a very neat speech pre-
sented Mr.. d. A. Hamburger with very
handsome gold headed cane. Taken SO
unawares it was few moments before
be recovered himself. Then with his
usual self-complaisance he replied in one
of the happiest speeches it has been the
writer's good fortune to listen to, and it
struck the writer at the same time that
it was very seldom that there was such
a good-fellowship shown as there exists
between the employees and the heads of
the Peoples store.
The menu was as follows:
served at Mrs. Solomon's dining parlors 325
New High street,
Roast turkey, cranberry sauce,
Roast duck, apple sauce,
Roast chicken, Jelly,
Smoked tongue, Smosed beef,
Picked meat Relarda, Potato salad,
Lobster salad, Chicken salad,
Olives, Boiled ham,
Mince pie,
Apple pie, Plum PIE. Peach pie,
Assorted cake. Coffee, Tea,
Nuts and Raisins, Assorted Pickles
Taken as whole, the Peoples Store
has every reason to feel proud, and the
Los Angeles public are to be congratu-
lated that they have such an enterpris-
ing and wide-awake firm amongst them,
and they have our best wishes for their
undoubted success for the coming sea-
son.

A STRANGE DEATH.
A Man Dies from Anger, After Being

A Man Dies from Anger, After Being
Unconscious for Several Hours.
One of the strangest deaths in the
history OF Lancaster occurred on Mon
day last, says the Gazette of that place.
There lived in our town an old man
named Richard Perry, familiaily known
as Dick" He was quite old, about 20
or perhaps 80 years of age, but strong
and active for man of his years. He
was in the employ of the Pioneer sta
bles, where he kept breech-loading
shotgun and a number OF metallic shells.
On Sunday last upon entering his room
he found some mischievous wretch
had smashed all his shells, which made
the old man very angry. He accused
young man named Ernest Linwood of
having damaged the shells. Linwocd
stoutly denied having even thought Of
committing such q diabolical act, but

THE handy inspector who was placed
upon the Also street work to report to
the street superintendent whether the
contract was carried out according to
specifications lost his place. The coun-
Gil compelled the superintendent to dis
miss him. Now let the council adopt a
rule that in no case will street contract
be awarded to contractor who has
been detected in doing fraudulent street
work. That will soon thin out the
rogues, and give us chance to get
honest contractors to do honest public

Oregon Crops.

completed. Fruit and potatoes are not

short crop; everything else is up to the
average. 4isl

1t is rumored that the hearings in the
Searles will case will not be resumed,
and that negotiations for a settlement
will be reopened before October lat.
The contestants feel that even if they
should win eventually, the legal en-
trenchmenJs on the other side are so
many that the litigation would be very
long. This makes it probable that a
settlement will be sought.

Mechanical massage has great future
before it, but like all curative methods, the

general use. Three dollars an hour for ex-

A Rival of DR.. koch's Discovery.

DR.. koch's great remedy seems to prove
eficaeious in those cases where the patient
has contracted consumption in low-lying
countries. In almost all the level European
districts where the disease exists it is trace
able to purely climatic conditions, the moist
atmosphere being a fine breeding region for
the microbe. But in the high and dry alti-
tude traversed by the Union Pacific, the
original Overland Route, consumption not
only cannot exist but is surely durable in
its early stages. And this is testified to by
thousands who have regained health and
strength in the life-giving air of the Colorado

Acerbity of Religious Leaders.

So much Of clay mingles with the clear
est springs of human action that one sees
continually in ecclesiastical difficulties an
acerbity, a rasping disposition, which can
only be accounted for by the very bad state
Of temper growing out of the sedentary
lives Of religious persons, unrelieved bv
diversion Of mind or body. How much Of
evil is spiritual and how much nerves. no
one can decide till he knows himself under
the best conditions as well as imperfect
ones.
Without going farther in this line Of
thought, 1t may be left to the readers con-
science whether any good man can afford to
neglect the enormous advantage given bv
thoroughly healthy body and nerves, the
control it gives of evil and morbid frames,
the freedom from one-sided and over-strin-
gent views. There was great insight in the
warning which Newman's father, for all
the sons naturally sweet, candid temper,
felt obliged to give him. ''Take care; YOU

Massage by Mechanical Means.

The first idea of this kind was the simple
reduction apparatus shown in athletic shops
for bringing down large corporations. Fal-
staff NAV bring his prominence to bear
against set of rollers, which kneaded and
impinged upon his circumference till it re-
tired in disgust But Solomon would have
amended one saving of his notebook and ad-
mitted the possibility OF one new thing un-
der the sun if he entered the rooms for
mechanical massage. They are spacious,
well furnished as the rooms of successful
physician are wont to be, with sense of
handsome rugs, fine leather and mahogany,
bright polish and speckless order There is
an electric motor in glass case and various
other appliances for faradic and galvanic
currents, as required. A large inner room
is filled with wide, easy, padded lounges of
fine, soft morocco, scrupulously clean and
inviting. but for the strange, formidable
appurtenance which suggest something of
the operating table and surgical appliances.
Persuaded to take seat in chair the
least threatening of any in the room, and
place ones foot in an iron rest, with the
leg extended, the attendant touches a key
which controls the current. There is a
chatter of machinery, and the leg is shaken,
not rudely, but strongly and irresistibly
from hip to ankle with a motion which
searches out every fiber in it. 1t seemed as
if the limb would be shaken from its socket.
One gets out of the chair feeling about to be
seized with palsy for Is minutes, a queer
sensation, as if the limb masseed did not
belong to the body, wooden-legged feeling
to which it took me some time 10 be recon
ciled in the least. But after the first ordeal
one feels very much alive, as if old muscles
had been brought out and put in use, and
the dust shaken out of one pretty thorough
ly. 1 find myself desiring to repeat the ex-
perience very much, for 1t gives a tired
scribe all the lively exercise of running on
a hard road, without anY personal effort
