Our local affairs seem to be in good
deal of snarl in whatsoever direction we
may turn. Judge Shaw yesterday issued
a writ OF mandate compelling the record
ing of the warrant for the salary OF Miss
Kelso, the city librarian. The status of
the board of library trustees is in the
same kind OF chaos which characterizes
nearly everything in Los Angeles. City
Auditor Lopez refuses to recognize the
authority Of the old board, and by the
decision Of Republican judge he seems
to have carried his recalcitrance point
too far. Judge Shaw holds, in effect,
that the auditor must record Miss Kel-
SOS demand, so that she shall have
precedence in the regular order of dis
credited demands on the city treasury
The trick of our municipal finances is
always to run short ON the cash and sal
ary funds, in order that some conven-
lent Shylock may have the pleasure and
profit of discounting the demands Of
those who have square claims on
the treasury. Miss Kelso would appear
to have at least the not entirely fas-
cinating right of knowing how she
stands in the order of claimants. This
grading often means a difference of two
or three per cent. discount in each in
the ultimate account render.

A Hallowell husband tried a suicide
scare on his wife with i'll success. The
couple had quarreled, and the husband,
taking bottle of red ink, strewed part
on the floor and daubed the remainder

A SEWER CAVE.
An Indication Of the Quality Of Sewer
Work So Far Done.

The fact that the Grand-avenue sewer
was not built in the right way, or OF
the right material, was strikingly illus
trated yesterday, near the. corner OF
Jefferson street. A heavy coal wagon,
drawn by double team OF horses, was
passing over the sewer, when suddenly
between ten and fifteen feet of it caved
in, carrying horses and wagon with it.
Assistance was summoned, but it took
about two hours of hard work to get the
animals out, when they and the wagon
were found to be much the worse for
wear. This incident would indicate
that an inspection of the sewer so far
built, and the locating of it's defects.
would be in order, aud might save the
city considerable litigation.

Ii the Italians of Glen Hazel,
Pennsylvania, do not give up the
murderer whom .hey have taken
under their protection, it is evident
from the feeling among the lum-
bermen in that vicinity that the
affair is likely to result in a spec
les OF New Orleans episode which
will cause Italy TO almost scare
this country to death-just as it
did before. 1t is by no means
probable that citizens Of this
countrF will permit the flag of
italy, or any other flag to be made
a refuge for man-slayers The
italian Consul, however, has adj

SILVER SYMPOSIUM.

Interest in the debate going on
in the 7elegrcm's columns on the
metal currency question is on the
increase. The field of interest is
also extending. The debate is
attracting attention all over the
country. Thinkers at distant
points indicate q desire to take
part in the controversy.
New York, it will be born in

the most inviting and the most

Yet the intrest betrayed is of nat

The advocates Of bimetalism are
evidently in earnest. They have
the advantage of taking the ag
gressive. Yet those who hold the
opposing view on this live ques-
ton are just as able, just as hard
hitters and just as firmly convinc-
ed OF the rig hteousness of their
cause.

DEATH OF MRS. HOPKINS

On Saturday last Mrs. Hopkins
Searls died at Lawrence, Mass.
At the time of her death she is
reported TO have been worth about
seventy millions.
Her death is creating some tx-
element in financial circles, from
the fact that her interest in the
Southern Pacific r. r. will be sold
at auction by the administrators
OF the estate, and the party secur-
ing the stock will naturally secure
the control of the road,
The stock is valued at thirty or
forty millions. and it is question
able If Huntington could raise the
required amount. Stanford and
Croker might do it, in which
event they would again have the
upper hand in the Railroad man
agement and send Huntington kit
ing.
Should the latter succeed in
raising the money, and he is a
man who does almost anything he
undertakes, and the two begin to
bid for the stock there would be a
very lively fight for the public to
witness.
