THE SUPERVISORS
The Historical Society Asks for Que rsers.
A Big Warrant Drawn.

A Big Warrant Drawn.
The president and secretary of the
Southern California Historical society,
with a committee of its members, ap-
peared before the board of supervisors
yesterday and requested that they be
allowed to occupy certain vacant rooms
in the new court house as place of
meeting, and to store their library,
relics. etc. They presented a lengthy
petition setting forth the Importance OF
their organization, and the benefit which
posterity would derive from their work.
On motion OF Supervisor Cook, the mat
ter was taken under advisement. The
request will probably be granted.
The ordinance providing for the Office
OF superintendent of women's and child
len's work was presented by the dis
trict attorney, with the obnoxious title
changed, and repassed as amended.
The clerk was instructed to send
notices to all county and township
officers that all bills and demands
against the county must be presented
on the day before the regular meetings
OF the board tthe first and third Tues
days OF each month";; otherwise they
will not be acted upon till the next
meeting.
A warrant was ordered drawn, in the
sum of $24 900, against the new court
house fund, in favor of the Los Angeles
Furniture company, on their contract
for furniture for the new building.

Mrs. Mary Martin jumped down a
well on her place at Eagle Rock, few
miles from the city limits. This act
was in all probability done last Sunday,
but it was not known until yesterday.
Some of the neighbors missed Mrs.
Martin. and as they had not seen her
since Sunday. they became alarmed and
began search. Not finding her in the
house they looked into the well, think
ing she might have fallen in. A look
ing-glass was brought into requisition,
and the body was noticed in the we'll.
Coroner Weldon was at once notified
and went out there yesterday and held
an inquest. Before holding the inquest
it was necessary to have the body. This
was no easy task to recover as the we'll
was about 30 feet deep. Finally w. H.
Sutch consented to be lowered down.
He was tied to long rope which was
held by several stalwart men. After
getting good grip on the body. Sutch
gave the word and he was pulled out of
the we'll with the body.
At first the impression prevailed that
it was case of accidental death, but
letter found by the coroner showed that
it was suicide. Mr.. and Mrs. Martin
came here about seven years ago from
Kansas. Mr.. Martin died about three
years ago, since which time Mrs. Martin
has managed the 2l-acres ranch. The
letter written by Mrs. Martin before
taking the fatal leap into the well was
as follows:
I destroy all evidence against others
and leave to God alone to punish them.
Please tell the assistant secretary of the
Southern California Insurance company
that there is plenty Of money in the
Los Angeles banks to remunerate the
company for the insurance he paid me.
1 have learned recently that some are
trying to blame me for that, but there is
a man setting them fires and it will
come to light after awhile. He is paid
for setting them. Ny reason for leaving
the world in this manner, is that go to
one 1 love far better than / love the
world, and learn that them he trusted
was false to him and also to me-"
Y The letter was not signed, but the
writing was identical with some other
writing known to be written by the de-
ceased. Mrs. Martin was not very So
ciable woman and kept, herself aloof
from her neighbors. She evidently wor-
ried over the insinuation that she had
burned down her barn in order to get
the insurance. As the insurance did
not cover half the loss, very few people
would have bothered about what was
said, but not 80 with Mrs. Martin. She
drowned herself in order to spite her de-
famers.
The deceased was 81 years old, and
native of Indianapolis, and the last seen
of her alive was Sunday, when she led
out horse to get drink.

Ling Wing, the Chinese girl arrested
at San Diego and taken to Pomona on
the trumped up charge of petit larceny,
has been released from custody and All
Wow, the man who swore to the COM
plant against her, was jailed for per-
jury. But All Wow did not stay in Jail
very long. Tuesday night he escaped
and the Pomona people are elated over
the fact that he did not take the Jail
along. AS it was, the Celestial took the
lock and will doubtless be considerate
enough to send it back by express. Two
Pomona officers yesterday explored
Chinatown for the missing Mongolian
but they did not get any trace of him.
AS stated in yesterdays HERALD, the
girl Ling Wing was arrested in San
Diego on complaint issued in Pomona.
and forcibly carried away from her hus-
band. The charge was trumped up
matter, and of course the case was dis.
missed. 1t is probable that the girl
was secured by the slavers when she
was discharged from custody, as that is
their manner of procedure. If All Wow
is vigorously prosecuted, however, it
may have restraining effect on those
dealers in human flesh who are assisted
by writs and officers.

ONLY ONE PER CENT.
ghe Cabinet Discusses the Policy of EN
tending the Securities.

tending the Securities.
WASHINGTON. ID. c., May 31.-The
financial question engaged the attention
of the President and his Cabinet at the
meeting yesterday. Something has to
be done soon in regard to the S52, ,000,-
600 Of four and half per cent. bonds
which mature September 6. After cx-
aminng the situation and condition of
the Treasury it was decided unanimous
ly that the ninety days call required by
law for the redemption Of these bonds
be issued Monday.
|. This, however, does not mean that
they will be called in. Several Treasury
officials, Secretary Foster included, it is
understood, believe that the bonds
could be extended at one per cent. and
the redemption money held in the
Treasury against any contingency that
might arise. This scheme is based on
the principle that where the money
could be used advantageouSly one per
cent. would be trifling interest.
Mr.. Lacey, Comptroller Of the Cur
rency, is certain that the national banks,
which now hold between S23, 900, 600 and
S24 600, coo of these bonds. will be will
ing TO keep them at one per cent.
The legal question now arises, doe
the issuing OF the call for the bonds de-
stroy the governments option upon
them? This question will have to be
settled before final decision is reached
in the matter Of extending the bonds. AT
the meeting yesterday President Harri-
son expressed desire that the bonds be
redeemed He is anxious to continue
the policy which has resulted in the
canceling of $40, 900, 900 of the bonds.
Mr.. Foster urged his plan, and while
there was difference of opinion between
him and the President, the latter will
likely yield to his Secretary's judgment
A decision as to the bond extension will
not be reached for some time. Secre-
tary Foster will visit New York within
the next few days, and while there will
confer with the leading financiers re-
parding the matter

Q jBBORN POSTMASTER.
At White sulphur springs-Don't Want
to be Accommodating.

Special Iektgf01a 20 ne AsDtSteF'
WASHINGTON, May 31.-PoStmaSter
George III. Saber, of the White Sulphur
Springs. has been having a little tilt
with his SuperiOrS in the PoStoiiice
Department here, and OF course the De-
partment has come out on top. IL
seems il has been the custom for years
10 remove the post Office at White Sui
phur into the hotel when that eSta5-
lishment opened for the season, and to
keep it there until the season closed at
the beginning Of October. This arrange
ment. the PoStollice Department peO-
ple had, was Agreeable TO all parties in
the town, and was especially conyen-
lent for the guests Of the hotel. The
expenses of removal were borne
by the hotel proprietorS, who
also gave the necessary room for
the PoStSflice rent free. THIS
year. However, Postmaster Saber
made up his mind that he would not re-
move the poStoffce into the hotel. The
reasons he gave for this decision, it is
said at the POStoflice Department, here,
were thai the hotel proprietor charged
citizens of the town - cents for admlS-
sion to the hotel grounds.
Whether such charge is imposed the
PoStonice Department officials confess
they do not know, but as claim only one
man in the town besides the postmaster
opposed the removal of the postoiiice TO
the hotel, they are inclined 10 DOUBT IL.
Ii is also intimated that Postmaster
Saber, in the letter in which he gave
his reasons for declining to remove the
postOf1ice 10 its usual summer
quarters, alleged that somebody
was an unreconStructed rebel.
Who then this individual Is, the
hotel proprietor or some one else who
differed with the postmaster, is not
known. After considering the matter
carefully, the PoStoffice Department
officials came to the conclusion that the
poStofice at White Sulphur would have
10 be removed as usual and so instruct
ed them.
Saber, the latter, however, was STUB
born and insisted on having his own
way Finally, the PoStoffice Depart
ment sent an ultimatim to Mr.. Saoer
10 the effect that if its orders were not
obeyed, not only the poStOhice but the
postmaster at White Sulphur would be
removed. As nothing further has oeeh
heard from Mr.. Saber, ii is thought
likely he has decided not TO Sacrihce the
S7OO annual salary he receives as post
master, even if the citizens OF White
Sulphur are taxed % cents every time
they want to get letter.
