The state board of equalization have
notified the board of supervisors OF Los
Angeles county that they propose to
raise our assessment, and have ap-
pointed the 21st inst, at Sacramento,
for hearing in the matter. The super
visors have resolved to be on hand in a
body, with view of resisting what is
evidently an unjust exaction. The fact
is that the real work OF reform lies in at
least doubling the assessment OF San
Francisco. The TolI-Taker by the Sea
has for forty years escaped the just
share of taxation. Forty years OF the ac-

From San Antonio.

Aug. Hornung, well-known manu-
facturer OF boots and shoes at S20 Nolan
street, San Antonio, Texas, will not
soon forget his experience with an at
tack of the cramps which he relates as
follows: II was taken with violent
cramp in the stomach, which 1 believe
would have caused my death, had it not
been for the prompt use Of Chamber
lain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhea Rem
edy. The first dose did me so much
good that followed it up in twenty
minutes with the second dose, and be-
fore the doctor could get to whereI was,
l did not need him. This remedy shall
always be one of the main stays of my
family" For sale by @. F. Heinzeman,

THERE was very extraordinary scene
in the Justices courts of Los Angeles
yesterday. One Yick Fon was one of
the straw bail upon which Wong Ark
was released, and who was arrested for
perjury yesterday. He was arraigned
before Judge Austin, and an application
was made for his release on bail, the
four other Cinnamon who were on Wong
Ark's bond being proposed as his sure
ties. Judge Austin declined to release
Yick Fon, and held the case under ad-
visement till today, in order to admit of
an inquiry into the sufficiency of the
bondsmen. Recourse was next had to
Judge Stanton, who approved OF Yick
Fon's bondsmen, and ordered his re-
lease, disregarding the process in
Judge Austin's court. The police
officials, with excellent judgment, in this
case, hurried Fon up to the county jail,
declining to obey Stanton's mandate.
The latter telephoned to the Jail for
Fon's release, demand which was re-
fused, and Judge Stanton was called
upon by the police, the facts were ex-
planned, and he rescinded the order.
The result is that Yick Fon is still in
Jail and will doubtless be held for trial
by Judge Austin this morning. The
case is, to say the least, strange one,
reminding one, on lesser theater, OF
the cross orders of judges Barnard and
Cardoza as to other judges, in the cele-
brated litigation of Fisk and Gould in
the Erie railway cases, nearly twenty
years ago.

This Is believed to have been the first evi-
dence of an insanity which speedily de-
veioped In Mrs. Newcomb. At first it mani
rested itself IN kleptomania, and for very
many years 1t was reported tuat her husband
nad an understanding with all The leading
merchants of Louisville that they should
return him bills without inquiry for any
articles taken by his wife
he was a most devoted husband Five chill
dren were born to them, of whom the eldest
was ID. Victor Newcomb. When the youngest
OF the i've was an infant the mother became
SO insane ttat colored nurse was employed
TO watch her constantly.
One day, however, she managed to get
the nurse away, and, going to the third
story OF the Newoomb house on Main street,
LOUISVILLE, where the nursery was situated.
she locked the door and told the children
tnat 1t was better that they should die in
childhood than suffer the various miseries
OF life. Thereupon Mrs. Newcomb fell upon
her knees and prayed for her children:
taxing up the three youngest ones she threw
Gnem out OF the window one after the other.
Iney fell upon an iron railing three stories
below, and were instantly killed
Mrs. Newcomb then turned to her two
eloer children, Victor and Herman, but
tney resisted their mother with all their
childish strength. But she finally forced
them out of the window. Even then they
did not give up the struggle for life, but
chung desperately to the window-sill crying
for help.
Meanwhile the colored nurse had returned
to the house and discovered the tragedy that
was being enacted by her poor insane mis-
tress. The door Of the room was locked and
the nurse was unable to force il. Realizing
the imminent peril OF the two young boys
she threw mattress to the ground beneath
the spot where they were hanging. When
they dropped the mattress broke the force
OF the fall and saved their lives.
Mrs. Newcomb was sent to the Mclean
Asylum for the Insane at Somerville, Mass,
Here she was maintained for about twenty
tive years by her husband, who provided
her with horses and carriages and every
thing that wealth could procure.
At the expiration of that time Mr.. New
comb fell in love with Miss Nina Smith, the
daughter of prominent broker Of Louis
! vile. 1t was understood that she had been
engaged to Mr.. Newcomb's second son, Her.
man, but he died of opium poisoning about
that time under circumstances strongly sug,
costing suicide in the residence Of Dr..
Samuel Gross, the distinguished Philadel-
phia surgeon.

NIAGARA FALLS, Sept. %. = Mrs.
Dell Rathbun. of Buffalo, committed
suicide at Cedar island, on the Canadian
side, near the Michigan Central railway
station of Fallsview, shortly after 6
O'Clock this morning. She was on her
way from Chicago, where she had been
visiting for some time. She left the
tain when it stopped to allow passen-
gers view of the cataract and passed
down the steep incline to the river.
Magistrate A. J. Hill, of Niagara
Falls, was the only one that saw her,
and watched her until she had passed
from view among the trees. She was
well-dressed and did not seem bent
upon any daring act, and while Mr.. Hill
wondered at the precipitate descent, he
thought it BODIED no harm, and paid
but little attention to her. About noon
it was reported that
The Body of u Woman
had been seen floating down the river
toward the falls, and two policemen of
Queen Victoria park fastened to the
spot. There the body was found near
the entrance of the race-way which sup
plies the waterworks, and was rescued
Just in time before it passed over the
horseshoe falls. Coroner McGarry W as
notified, and had the corpse taken to
Undertaken MorSe's establishment at
Drummondvile. The woman had a
profusiOn of diamonds on her person,
and sum of money.
Thinking from the dispatches of this
morning that the unfortunate woman
was the missing Mrs. Rathbun, the
Canadian authorities communicated
with Buffalo, and tonight Frank Rath-
bun, brOther-in-IaW. and Warren +.
Miller and a friend of the family ar
rived. On being shown the body they
at once recognized IL as that of Mrs.
Rathbun. When asked how they ac-
counted for her suicide, they said pery-
BUSINESS was no doubt the cause of the
act. The body is being embalmed pre-
paratory to removal to Buffalo.
Her Mind Unbalanced.

o'clock last night, Mrs. Rathbun SAID
that after leaving the house of Dr. Buck
Sunday night she went to the Fifteth
street station of the Illinois Central.
This was opposite the lake, and she
states her intention was to drown her.
self. Her mind was in an awful state,
as she could think of nothing but her
dead mother and sister. After thinking
over the matter. however, she concluded
not to take her life, but instead boarded
a Pullman train, stopped over night at
the Hotel Florence, and Monday re-
turned down town. Then she again
changed her mind, and resolved to take
a train for Buffalo.
