Mr.. 2. f. BURNETT, in other columns,
recurs to the infamy of opening and
widening Los Angeles street, and calls
attention to the fact that the council has
accepted the report of the commissioners
recommending this outrage. As mat
ter of fact, the citizens of the section af-
fected are obliged to pay for setting back
their fences and houses, to surrender the
land needed for the widening of the
street, and to pay forced loan in the
shape of an assessment of ten thousand
dollars for the privilege of being robbed.
No citizen knows when it will be his
turn to be despoiled. There ought to be
some remedy for such state of things,
and our correspondent desires to know
what it is, The HERALD suggests that
the aggrieved property-holders should
apply to some competent lawyer, as his
advice would be &c cathedra and ours
would be merely that of layman. To the
average apprehension, double barreled
shotgun, loaded with double B shot,
would appear to be an excellent remedy
for vandal attempt to demolish mans
household. the said weapon to be located
in the hands of a nervy and determined
man.

THE LEAvEN woRKING-THET TERMINAL
PEOPLE.

The Terminal magnates, having re-
turned to st. Louis, it was of course in
order that they should be interviewed
Accordingly. Mr.. Dick Kerens was sought
out by reporter of the Globe-Democrat,
and we reproduce elsewhere the body of
his remarks as detailed in the columns
of our st. Louis contemporary.
1t will be remembered how thorough
and exhaustive was the survey of Los
Angeles and Southern California made
by the st. Louis capitalists. They saw
the country from A to Izzard-from AL
pha to Omega, with all its dips, spurs
and angles. They dived into every nook
and Granny of the country, and inter
viewed in il everybody worth interview :
ing. They were interested in discover
ing the truth, the whole truth and moth
ing but the truth, and they found it out
to the utmost nicely. They not only
looked thoroughly over Southern Cali
fornia, but over Southwestern Nevada
and all of Utah intervening between
the eastern line of Nevada and Salt Lake
City. If ever party did its work from
base, that headed by Mr.. Dick Kerens
was that party.
In the Globe-Democrat of April 9th,
Mr.. Kerens gave the views of himself
and associates. lie says that San Pedro
is destined to be the shipping point of
Southern California, and points out the
fact that its geographical location is in
comparable for that purpose. He said
in st. Louis, as he said here, that this
harbor should be so improved by the
government as to afford thirty feet of
water. Its eligibility for all the needs
of commerce in Southern California, if
properly improved, cannot be disputed.
The shortest line between tidewater on
the Atlantic and the Pacific within the
limits of the United States starts from
San Pedro and ends at Galveston. AS
to the productive ability of Los An
geles and the adjoining southern coun-
ties, Mr.. Kerens spoke in terms of un-
stinted praise. He said that in the
eastern states it requires thirty acres to
furnish carload of freight, while IN
SouthernCalifornia one acre may be made
to produce three carloads. He has no
hesitation in predicting that Los Ange-
les will soon be the center of great agri-
cultural, horticultural, commercial and
manufacturing interests. This people,
so pregnant of possibilities, need rail-
way to Salt Lake City, and he adds that
we shall have it within a years time if
we shall contribute reasonably towards
it ourselves.
Readers of the HERALD cannot fail to
note the remarkable identity of Mr..
Kerens's utterances in St. Louis to those
of himself and Judge Chandler to rep
resentative of the HERALD in Los Ange-
les. These gentlemen are capitalists of
great means and influence. To their
moneyed significance they add unusual
political potency. 1t is quite pleasant
to know that men of such a stamp are
interested in placing the claims of this
section in such conspicuous way be-
fore the investing public and before
congress. Their help in obtaining the
needed legislation for Wilmington har-
bor will be most effectual.
Meanwhile, when the time comes, the
people of Los Angeles must be prepared
to contribute reasonably" and to show
themselves worthy of such a splendid
championship.

PETE LoHMAN LEAVES THE COLO

The Latest from the san Francisco Bench
Show-Result of the Ball Games Played
Yesterday.

Hotspur, who won the great mile and
three-quarter race at San Francisco, ran
the mile and a half in 2:34. This was
the record for that distance until Firenzi
reduced it to 2:3S. 1t will therefore be
seen that the run made by Hotspur will
not be soon forgotten in turf circles.
Word reached here yesterday that the
eastern string of L. ]. Rose has left New
Orleans for Brooklyn. The Brooklyn
handicap candidates, Rico and Odette,
are in this string, as well as Fairy. BY
the way, Fairy is by Argyle, the sire of
Rinfax, who broke the record at San
Francisco on Thursday, and was un-
doubtedly speedier than the colt as q
two-year-old. Now that Rinfax has so
distinguished himself, great things can
be expected from Fairy when Billy APP
pleby turns her loose at the Brooklyn
meeting, which begins the week after
next.
1t is learned that there is sensa-
tional yearling by Stamboul, out of
mare by Nephew, at Rosemeade. This
filly has already trotted quarters in A
seconds. Lucy r., bar accidents, should
get mark of 2:15 this year. 1t is no
breach of confidence to make public the
fact that Lucy r. has trotted mile be-
low 2 20 this year. George Reed has
entered his Othello colt, out of mare by
Junius, in the Nutmeg $4,000 Futurity

ON DEATHS VERGE.
Maj. Owings i'll EXtremis From an
Overdose of Morphine.

Thomas t. Owings, the real estate
broker, is at the point of death, as the
result of an overdose of morphine. He
was taken to the city hospital at 2
o'clock yesterday, and four physicians
worked upon his case all day long, but
at a late hour last night he was still I'M
conscious and not expected to live.
Mr.. Owings, who is known generally
as Maj. Owings, inherited a fortune of
something like 100000 several years
ago, and then came from Louisville.
KY, to st. Paul for the purpose of en-
gaging in the real estate business. He
has an office at 81 East Fourth street.
and, being a single man. boarded at 1862
College avenue. His business has been
light during the past year, in
volying principally the handling of
his own property. aud as he had
plenty of idle time he took to drinking.
He has been on almost Il continuous
spree since New Years day. His
favorite resort was the Clifton hotel bar.
where he could be seen IN state of in
toXication every night. Owings has
always been very fashionably dressed
and, as he never became bolsterous or
staggering when under the Influence
of liquor, frequenters of the bar never
suspected that he Was an absolute slave

to rum. His boon companions were
certain commodore, certain detective
and certain Smooth-faced youth, all of
whom boarded at the Clifton They
were his almost constant companions at
the bar. but they deserted him when
he most needed their CON-
pany. They were all drinking
with Owings at the bar Saturday night,
and at midnight the detective and pro-
prletor of the hotel attempted to put
him to bed in Room No. 81. The major
was in no condition to be left alone. and
his pretended friends must have known
it. But the man, who was nearly pros
trate with tremenS, was deserted by
them and left alone in his room.
AT 3 o clock in the morning OWings came
down stairs and met GLOBE reporter
in the hotel Office. He insisted that he
had seen man in his room. The night
clerk went up stairs, examined the
room, and returned to assure OWingS
that no one was in the room. But the
frenZied man insisted that he had seen
Specter of some kind, and refused to
return to his room. The GLOBE reporter
offered toaccompany Owings to his room
and watch him until daylight, but
the drunken man could not be induced,
by any means, to go up stairs. Finally
the reporter went TO his own room and
retired. thinking the major would walk
the Office floor until daybreak. But
Owings, unobserved by the night clerk,
soon slipped out of the door. He re-
turned to the house shortly before z
o'clock and went to bed. At noon he
was found in bed, nearly dead from
the effects of morphine. DIR. Craig was
Immediately called, and found it i'm
possible to reSuscitate tile patient.
About 2 o'clock Owings was removed
to the city hospital, where electricity
was used upon MIN as resuscltating
medium. But up to midnight he had
not been restored to consciousness. His
chance for recovery is very slight. 1t is
quite certain that Mr.. Owings took the
morphine simply to quiet his nerves
and induce sleep, without suicidal in
tent.
