1t was the noon train out, and the
car was filed principally with ladies,
who had been glad to hurry through
with their shopping to get out OF the
heat and dust and have some time to
freshen up before evening. A few
gentlemen were also in the car,
but they were something more
than middle-aged, and probably only
went to town at all in order to
keep up the delusion that they were
necessary at the Office or warehouse,
and now having satisfied their dignity

way to wcll-earned rest.
The young girl was beckoned to

to diminish the cmbonpoint OF her
figure. Gold eyeglasses swung on her
ample bosom, and she wore fresh kid

A QUEER CASE.
MRS. M'CARTHY'S EXPERIENCE
WITH A FAITH DOCTOR.
A Matter About Which There Has Been
Considerable Gossip-Mrs. Goes Yer
sion of the Story-Checks Which She
Was Obliged to Take.

Some days ago Mrs. Mccarthy, a
well-to-do, middle.aged lady of this city,
was found wandering about the streets
in a half dazed condition and in dis.
habille. She was taken home by friends
and cared for.
Inquiries as to how che got into such
condition were made by detective
who was employed in the case, and it
was ascertalned that she had appealed
to Mr.. and Mrs. Coe, who reside on
Sixth street between Broadway and
Spring street, for medical care. Mr.. and
Mrs. Coe are spiritualists and faith
healers, and took Mrs. Mccarthy as
a patient. Mrs. Coe stated that Mrs.
Mccarthy was treated by her without
any charge being made, as it is against
her principles to exact a fee, but go
thankful was the patient that she made
out check one day for 5000 and insisted
upon Mrs. Coe accepting it, which. after
many protestations, she said she did.
On another occasion Mrs. Mccarthy
gave her another check, this time for
$50, and insisted on her taking it. The
first check Mrs. Coe cashed, but pay
ment OF the second was stopped by Mrs.
McCarthy's friends.
Mrs. Coe attributes Mrs. McCarthy's
strange behavior in wandering about
the streets to dose of whisky and hy-
drate of chloral, which Mrs. Coe asserts
Mrs. Mccarthy brought with her when
she first came to her house.
Mrs. McCarthy's friends claim, it is
said, that an entirely different set of
circumstances characterized the case,
but HERALD reporter yesterday who
looked for them failed to find anyone
who would make statement.
The affair has caused considerable
discussion lately in quiet sort of way,
though there does not appear to be any
more to it than is above narrated.

RAILROAD MATTERS.
Railroad matters are booming these
charming days. The Southern Pacific
continues to advance their work daily,
and the wharf construction is only wait
ing for material. The gentleman who
will have charge of the building OF the
same is on the ground and has two pile
drivers at work on the trestles which
are to bridge the chasm over the canon.
The engineers have surveyed line of
railroad to stone quarry seven miles
inland from the beach, from which they
take rock to rip-rap, and which will un-
doubtedly be extended in the future as
feeder. They are also developing
water in one of the little ca1ons adjacent
for railroad and campers purposes.
The Santa Fe people have all the ma
terial at Inglewood on the ground. and
will commence work Immediately, if
they have not by this writing.

After Election Gossip-Railroad Pro-
press-Notes.

Alter ELECTION OoSSlp-Kailroad FRO
gress-Notes.
The election here on Monday passed
off quietly although the fight was an
earnest and warm one, both sides being
in it for blood. The result was an over
whelming majority for the cold board"
30 called, who were reelected by major
tiles ranging from 95, that for the lowest
name on the cold board" ticket, over
the highest on the opposition, to 139.
Charles S. Dales defeated H. E. Pol
lard for clerk, after one of the most
hotly contested battles ever waged here.
Maxwell K. Barretto. the present
efficient marshal, showed under his
opponent, who has been considered
heretofore to be a particularly strong
man before the people, his majority be-
ing 155.
George Boehme for treasurer had no
opposition, he being respected by the
entire community, and everyone is al
ways happy not only to say good word
about him but to vote for him.
The Australian ballot law was an
eminent success, which is to be expected
in such an intelligent community, and
the number of errors and mistakes were
few and far between.
Taken altogether everything passed
off tremendously, and while the friends
of the old board are still celebrating
their great victory, the town is settling
down to its usual quietude as far as
politics are concerned, and everyone is
buckling on his armor for the summer
campaign and to help along the era of
development which has already been
