OBITUARY.

Louis Lichtenberger, pioneer and
capitalist of Los Angeles, died at his
residence, 128 East Fourth street, after
lingering illness, at the age of Sc
years, 6 months, days. He was born
at Otweiler, Prussia, August 25, 1885,
attended school there, and when 16
years of age emigrated to America, going
to Chicago.
He served an apprenticeship to the
trade of carriage and wagon making, and
remained in Chicago until 1860, when
he came to the Pacific coast. He
worked at his trade in San Francisco,
and in 1868 came to this city. After
being employed at his trade for time
he formed partnership with Louis
Roeder in 1856, which firm continued
successfully for nine years, about oppo-
site to where his block now stands at
103 to Ill North Main street. Having
been successfully engaged in his busi-
ness for over twenty years, in 1886 he
retired from active business, after an
honorable record. He had little or no
capital when he began life, and his
success is owing to his own efforts.
he dld not invest In real estate
as a speculation but always as
an investment, and leaves valuable
property. Mr.. Lichtenberger was elect
ed member of the city council, and,
having served one term, was elected city
treasurer in 1873, and served as presi-
dent of the Sixth Agricultural associa-
ton during about ten years.
Los Angeles had no more gener-
GUS citizen or one more iden-
titled with the progress and develop
ment of the city and county.
He was married November 2, 1865, to
Miss Amelia Boise, native of the city
of Bonn on the Rhein, Germany. He
leaves widow and four children.
Mr.. Lichtenberger has been i'll with
Bright's disease for nearly two years.
During the last two months he has been
almost without interruption confined to
his bed.
The funeral, under the auspices of the
Germania Turnverein, will occur to-
morrow at 2 p. m. at the late residence
he deceased No. 124 East Fourth street.
The interment will be in Rosedale ceme-
| terry.

Our millinery this season will start with a

our trimmings in the same proportion. Our
millinery is catering to all classes of trade from
the cheapest to the very finest Our San Fran
cisco store handles nothing but the very finest
of millinery effects, and as our buyer purchases
the same goods for both houses, we get the
finest creations in millinery, as we'll as the
class OF merchandise for people whose tastes
are not 50 extravagant. As we handle more
goods than all the millinery stores in this town
combined, and as we sell our goods at the same
ratio of profit as we do everything else in our

better and cheaper things in this line from as
than you can anywhere else along the street

difficulty in such performances is said to

progress considerably. The arrange

A tie squad in advance Of all others who
laid the tics. These ties were loaded in
wagons and hauled by teams along the
roadbed, and set and spaced under the
care of the engineer who accompanied
the SQUAD. In the most rapid work this
gang numbered one hundred aud TWEEN
tv-five. Behind the tic settlers and
spacers came the iron gang, who brought
with them the truck mo which the rails
were loaded; as they advanced, the r'Is
were taken out Of the Car 10y twos aud
dropped into place on the tics. The
ends were then brought suu.r with the
last rails laid and placcl at the proper
gauge. The car was then advanced ove1
these rails and the process repeated unit
it was empty, when it was tipped oil tho

behind this gang came the ''strappers,
who make the joints between the rails
