An ATTEMPT TO RAPE.
Gertrude Heinzer''s Plucky
Fight With a Negro.
She Manages to Frustrate the
Fiend's Intent.
A Case for Prompt Action--So Far the
scouDdrsl Has Evaded Cap
ture-The Details of
the Affair.

Southern California is achieving an
unenviable notoriety through the great
number OF rape cases which are being
recorded. In any other community in
the United States the patience of law
abiding citizens would probably have
found it's limit before this, and Judge
Lynch would have inflicted the sum
mary punishment which he deals out.
One of the most heinous attempts at
this most dastardly of crimes, it is
alleged, was made by negro, on Thurs
day afternoon at the house OF Charles
Heinzer on Tracey street, East Los An
geles. The Heinzer family had gone out,
leaving only Gertrude, 15-year-old
daughter in the house. The girl was
washing some clothes in back room of
the house, all the doors beng closed.
Under the room, where she was engaged,
there ia q kind of basement. how
ever, which is reached by trap-door.
While Gertrude was scrubbing away on
her washboard, this door was noiselessly
opened, and before the girl was aware
that she was not alone, she was seized
from behind and thrown on small bed
which occupied corner of the room.
The brute who attacked her managed
to stife the girls cries, but Gertrude is
muscular, and gave her assailant q
plucky fight. She kicked an6 scratched,
until he tied her feet together with q
piece of clothes-line. He then proceeded
to fasten her hands together with dog
chain. He evidently thought he now
had bis victim subdued, for, probably
with the intention CT gaining his nefa-
rious purpose, he loosened the rope on
Gertrude's feet. The girl was watching
him, however, and with q sudden jump
she got her feet out of the sling, hurled
the villain from her, managed to re-
move the handkerchief with which che
had been gagged, and began to scream
for help at the top of her voice.
The scoundrel made one more attempt
to intimidate the girl by brandishing a
bowie knife, but Gertrude continued to
cry so Justify that he got out through
the trap door and made his escape.
Neighbors soon arrived in answer to
the girls cries and found her with torn
clothes and pinioned hands sitting on
the bed. The struggle had not taken as
long as it takes to tell of it, and Ger
trude's description of her assailant was
not an accurate one. She could not say
positively. for example, whether he was
q negro or Mexican. She describes
him otherwise as being man of hardly
medium height and light build.
Mr.. Heinzer yesterday morning swore
to complaint before Justice Austin, a
warrant was iseued and Deputy Con-
stable Johnston was intrusted with the
service. Last evening he had not scc-
ceeded in obtaining trace of the cul.
prit.

The record is broken. A French duel
has at last resulted in fatality. The
Marquis de Mores on Thursday near
Paris ran Captain Mayer through the
body, then ehook hands with him, and
the captain, with disregard for prece-
dent that was in execrable taste, died
few hours later. The marquis spent
some years on the plains in this country
and seems to have taken to France some
of the seriousness which characterizes
the American cowboy in personal en-
counters. Indeed, he had the reputa-
ton in Dakota of being as ready an all
round man killer as Billy the Kid. He
has figured in number OF duels since
his return to France, and few weeks
ago fought four in succession in one
morning, plnking his man every time,
but without fatal results. o, tempora!
O, MOres!

A HORRIBLE ATTEMPT at rar

A HORRIBLE attempt at rape was made
yesterday by negro. The last case OF
the kind in the courts was that of one
Lahart, who pleaded guilty and was
sentenced to three months imprison-
ment. Probably this negro judged from
that case e'that il captured, he would get
off equally easy. Such administration
of alleged justice is nauseating. The
people should make clean sweep of
the judges at the next election. Tum-
BILE the present incumbents into the OBJ.
security they were in before blind prov
idence permitted them to seat them
selves on the bench, and put men in
their places who know some law and
are possessed of common sense.

cerned. The vexations. delay and ex-
pense of an appeal to the supreme
court will now be avoided. and the city
can proceed at once with the building Of
the sewer. 1t is very doubtful whether
our people would have voted for the
bonds with the delay and uncertainty Of
q lawsuit staring them in the face. But
now that these objections have been re-
moved we may expect to see more fa-
vorable consideration Of the question
when it comes to vote than would
otherwise have been the case.

PERHAPS the most astonishing occu

PERHAPS the most astonishing occu r
renee in American politics was the
nomination Of Whitelaw Reid. 1t came
as perfect and undiluted surprise to
that gentleman, who declared that he
hadn't the rsmotest idea that he was
q possibility for the nomination. That
is strange strange, especially
as bogus committee assuming to rep
resent the New York Typographical
union, with which Reid and his paper
had been at war for many years, ap-
peared before the convention to urge
his nomination as one that would be
highly acceptable to union printers and
to all union labor men. Whitelaw is
like the fellow that was called upon for
a speech, and after declaring that he
was altogether unprepared for such an
honor, broke down, and had to finish
his Grafton from a manuscript which he
produced from his coat-tail pocket.

OUR WORLDS COLUMBIAN FAIR ILLUS
TRATED EDITION.

The HERALD will issue a worlds Co.
lumbian fair edition of the ILLUSTRATED
HERALD. Arrangements have been
made with the most finished artists in
America to insure the greatest perfection
of detail to the illustrations. A quarter
of q million copies of this matchless
publication will be issued. 1t will be
printed on heavy book paper, and will
be distributed by uniformed boys during
the progress of the exposition, and the
distribution will be under the direction
of an intelligent superintendent, who
will see that each copy shall 60 where it
will do the most good. 1t will be de-
voted to Southern California, every por-
tion of which will be treated impair
TALLY. In few days accredited agents
of the HERALD will start out on the
work of canvassing the people in the
interest of this mammoth enterprise.
Those who can contribute advertising
patronage are expected to do go, while
almost anybody can subscribe for copies
to be either mailed east by themselves, or
distributed at the worlds fair through
the HERALD's agency. There is no rea-
son why the greatest boom ever known in
the history of Southern California should
not follow in the wake OF the Columbian
worlds fair. 1t is the mission OF the
HERALD to see that this shall be the
case. The high standard of previous
editions of the HERALD is a guarantee
that this supreme effort will be of excep.
tional merit. The aim will be to make
it nonpareil. 1t will be noted that in
this ambitious edition all the counties
of Southern California are to be in
cluded. We bespeak for this enterprise
the generous patronage which will un-
doubtedly be accorded to it, and which
in reality willonly be bread cast upon
the waters, which will return before the
lapse of many days. This is the mis-
sionary era in Southern California. We
need people, and the HERALD proposes
to see that they shall get here, in great
numbers and OF the right kind.

Soon after the decision in the suit of
the city against d. Freeman in the mat
ter of the outfall sewer, we suggested
the advisability of an attempt by the
city engineer to find line across Mr..
Frceman's property that would be ac-
csptable to him. We learned yesterday
that the surveying staff of the city en-
gineer's Office had just returned from
Inglewood, and that they had succeeded
in finding line south of that town that
was acceptable to Mr.. Freeman and the
city. We congratulate all parties con.

THE postoffice will be in the new fed
eral building by Monday, and for the
first time in the history Of Los Angeles
since the conquest, the United States
government will do business in a build
ing of its own in this city. The build
ing, to be sure, ia not large or imposing,
or even spacious enough for the offices
of one-half the federal officers requiring
room; but then it belongs exclusively to
the government, whose employees may
hereafter sympathize with the senti-
ment that "be it ever so humble, there
il no place like home"

scoLDING THE RAILROADS.

The most improbable as we'll as inde-
fensible mode of warfare upon our great
railways is the indiecriminate scolding
done by and through come newspapers.
A curious and instructive illustration of
this is seen in the cry against the rail-
ways in the northwest az to the rates
OF wheat shipment. 1t seems that all
the region around Minneapolis is aroused
over the fact that this great milling and
shipping center is threatened by Duluth
and other lake ports, and demands are
made upon the railways to make such
rates as will insure that city and region
against injury from new rivals.
After discussion of the real facts in the
case the New York Nation is moved to
protest against the wholesale onslaughts
upon railways, concluding an elaborate
editorial with these wise and pointed
words:
It is useless as we'll as economically
wrong to put the blame for this conclu-
sion upon the discriminating rates of
Minneapolis railways, for these rail
carriers did not make Minneapolis an
inland city, nor did they cause North
Dakota wheat to grow so near Duluth.
In short, the railways are not themselves
the discriminatory, but only the regis
trars of the determinations of nature
and commerce.
On par with this plant is the occa-
sional senseless denunciatipn of the men
who are maintaining and extending our
Pacific coast facilities. For instance, in
a recent number of a San Francisco
journal we are told that a Nevada
statistician has figured out that the
failure of that state to take leading
place is because the Southern Pacific
railway has Disseminated against the
products 'of the broad pasture grounds
and fertile valleys for agriculture"
Now, is it unjust or unfair to remark
that the whole public-even including
the leading citizens of Nevada itself
was settled upon quite another cause of
that regions decline, namely, its neg
lect OF it's natural resources outside of
mining, and even that subjected to the
worst forms and phases of speculation
And add to this the fact that nearly
all the money ever made in the
state has been taken out of it, and
that there. too, politics has wrought the
most direful effects, and we have plain
cause for loss Of prestige and popula-
ton. This is not meant unkindly. 1t
is fact, made conspicuous by the re-
cent famous controversy in that state
over the proposed constitutional amend
ment authorizing state lottery to se-
cure revenue to. carry on the govern
ment. 1t was then discovered and
widely published that salaries were SO
great and offices had so multiplied that
the civil list called for about two-thirds
of the amount of money necessary to
run the great state OF Ohio.
1t is not doubted that Nevada has
fertile valleys and that some work is
being done in them. 1t is perhaps true
that freight rates are too high to make
farming in those remote spots profit
able; nor is it impossible or unlikely
that some of these may be unequal.
But we can never have any wholesome
consideration OF such matter until we
realize that all criticism must be intelli-
gent and fair. As the Nation says, let
US learn what the railways are really
responsible for, and then seek a remedy.

ADJUSTMENTS.

Frank Daniels, in Little Puck, was
greeted by another 8. R. o. house last
evening. The audience could not get
enough of the fun and insisted on hav-
ing everything repeated. The perform
ance is beyond any doubt the most en-
joyable OF the kind on the boards today.
The Clipper quartette are literally inde-
scribably funny, and Miss Kingeley's
serpentine danceis equally indeecribably
beautiful. There is not dull moment
in the whole affair. The engagement
closes this evening, there being no NATL
nee.

the greatest failure on record. The

WHILE President Marvel of the Santa
Fe is here, a vigorous remonstrance
against the every-way Objectionable
First-street depot OF his company would
not be out of place. Los Angeles has a
great many benefits for which to be
grateful to the Santa Fe company, but
that depot is not credit to it and de-
cidedly detracts from the reputation OF
the city for being up to date. A city
which furnishes go large proportion
of the roads business deserves re-
spectacle if not ornate depot.

Il spent several weeks in Virginia CITY,

local editor of The Enterprise" said Major

laugh architect with some friends. 81
went out there for my health, and young
Clemens was the first person | got ac-
quainted with. He did not much resemble
the elegant M. 7. of the present day. He
wore an oilskin jumper and rusty boots,
on the tops of which his well worn trousers
fingered as though undecided whether to
go inside or stay out. He sat in saloon,
with his feet on table, whiting a thorn
stick with bowie knife.
"He sized me up as from the States in.

sATOLLI's STATEMENTS.
His Advices from Rome Differ from I
Press Dispatches.

His Advices from Rome Differ from the
Press Dispatches.
WASHINGTON, Dec. %. Monsignor
Satolli is much gratified by the general
expressions of pleasure with which the
restoration OF DR.. McGlynn has been re.
ceived throughout the country. He
deplores the fact, however, that in some
quarters there are efforts to fan into a
blaze the embers of the old controversy,
and hopes these will cease, as the past
is forgiven and should be forgotten. To
recall it is cruelty to him and disrespect
to his authority.
Regarding the press dispatches to the
effect that there is dissatisfaction among
the American bishops owing to Mon
signor SatOlli's presence in America,
and that the feeling at Rome has been
dampened by the reports of the New
York conference, Satolli's private ad-
vices are directly tothe contrary. The
vatican has made known it's determine
tion to uphold it's legate against all op-
position.
Referring to the report that President
Harrison was the more favorable to
diplomatic relations between the vati-
can and the United States, Monsignor
Satolli said tonight that the only
foundation for such a story was the
fact that the president had received
the legate, merely as the pope's repre-
sentative. at the dedication of the
worlds fair,
