THE HILLS TO HAVE GOOD WATER
The City Water Company Buys
Out the Citizens Company.
A Transaction Of Great Importance
to Los Angeles.
The Price Paid is Not Divulged, but the
Deal is Consummated-Mr.
Wicks Confirms the
Reports.

Yesterday afternoon a rumor became
current on the streets to the effect that
the Citizens Water company, of which
M. L. Wicks is the chief factor, had sold
out to the City Water company, or
rather the Crystal Springs Land and
Water Works company, of which W. FL.
Perry is president and Stephen NJ. Mott
secretary.
On calling at the Office of the City
Water works, on Marchessault street,
the HERALD reporter was unable to
CLEAN any information whatever. The
officials there we're excessively reticent
about the matter.
A visit to the Crystal Springs COM
pany's Office, on New High street, yield
ed no more satisfactory response, for
the neat little Office was empty. In a
despairing attempt to CLEAN some news
regarding the matter, the reporter next
"buzzed" well-known real estate op-
orator. whose Office is not thousand
miles from Downey block, and learned
fir ON him that the negotiations for the
purchase of the said water works only
lack few finishing touches of being
an accomplished fact.
Negotiations began several months
ago, but were deferred until last week,
when the Citizens company called a
meeting OF its stockholders, and over So
per cent of the stock voted TO sell to the
City water works concern at certain
figure, which, for the present, must re-
main private. This was larger than the
Perry Mott concern was at first ready or
willing to pay, but they recommitted the
subject matter to the committee having
the proposition in hand, with instruc-
tions to pay no more than the price de-
manded, and to get it as much cheaper
as possible.
The conference took place on Satur-
day evening last, and the upshot of it
was that price was agreed upon, the
property is to be turned over on the 1st
day of November, and J. s. Chapman is
to draw the papers.
On calling on M. l.. Wicks, of the
Citizens company that gentleman con-
frmed the story to the HERALD, as is
given above, adding that, with the ex
ception of one single stockholder, whose
name he did not wish to divulge, the
Citizens company were unanimously in
favor of the sale. A later inquiry else
where elected the statement that the re-
calcitrant party is Mr.. ]. F. Crank, who
owns about 10 per cent. of the stock.
In word, the sale is as good as made,
subject to confirmation of title by parties
now making the search for defects.

JULES vERNE's DREAM.
A Boat Which Actually Moves Beneath
the Water.

DETROIT, April 10.-The submarine
boat building here the past winter was
given a thorough trial yesterday and
proved a success IN every particular.
With crew of three on board, the boat
started from the dock on the river Range
just below the city. At first she skinned
along over the surface toward the De-
troit river. The craft was submerged
going down gradually and under the per-
feet control of the pilot. Under water
the boat was able to attain speed of
over ten miles an hour, turn around and
rise or sink with the greatest ease.
The boat was submerged several times
under different circumstances and proved
that the peculiarly constructed propeller
is well adapted to it's purposes. In sink
ing or rising the boat maintained hori-
zontal position. The boat is equipped to
run by steam power while on the sur
face. Underneath the water the electric
force comes from a powerful electric
storage battery. The present boat was
built only as an experiment. 1t is shaped
like thick cigar, 40 feet long, IA feet
deep and 9 feet beam. Its inventor is
Geo. G. Baker, of Chicago.

hands of the rebels, which might be used
to conquer the loyal states, that it would
enable the rebels to re-establish slavery,
that it might make the federal govern
ment responsible for rebel debts, that it

Mr.. Gorham quotes letter written to
Mr.. Stanton by Senator Sherman him
self, ON April 27, 1865, in which the sena-.
tor says: 81 am distressed beyond
measure at the terms granted Johnston
by Gen. Sherman. They are inadmis-
sible. There should now be literally no
terms granted. We should not only
brand tie leading rebels with infamy,
but the whole rebellion should wear the
badge Of the penitentiary so that for this
generation at least no man who has TAX
en- part in it would dare justify or palli-
ate." The senator says that he feels a
gross injustice has been done Gen. Sher-
man, especially by the press. The most
that can be said about him is that he
granted the rebels too liberal terms.
In conclusion, Mr.. Gorham says that
while he honors Gen. Sherman's mem-
ory, he cannot remain silent when he be-
lieves that Secretary Stanton's course has
been miSrepresented.

THEITATA AGAIN.
Appeals from the Decision in FarVs cf
That Famous Vessel.

SAN FEANcIco, April 10.-Two APP
peals have been filed from the decision
of Judge Ross in the case of the steamer
Itata and her cargo of munitions of war,
which played so prominent a part in the
controversy between the United States
and Chill. One appeal is for re-hearing
of the case dismissed by Judge Ross, and
it also prays that his decision be reversed
and the Itata be condemned. The other
appeal asks that the decree of Judge
Ross, given at the same time, regarding
1000 cases of rifle cartridges, 5000 rifles
and 5000 bayonets on the Itata be re-
versed and that these munitions of war
be condemned to the United States.

Especial to the Press.1
BATH, April 10-Friday night, about
1880, John Mahaney, foreman of the
rope-walk, discovered fire in Houghton
Bros salt shed, at the foot of South
street. Previous to this he had met
Samuel Whitehouse, young man en-
ployed by the Water Supply Company,
who was apparently anxious to avoid be-
ing seen. The fire department easily ex-
tinguished the blaze, which was just in
side the door of the shed. Examination
revealed lot of cotton waste saturated
with kerosene oil. Learning of White
house being around there, and acting as
he did, the suspicion of the authorities
was aroused, and an investigation deem
ed necessary. Captain Kittredge, of the
night police, called at the house where
the young man lived and arrested him.
His overcoat pockets smelled of kero-
sene and bits of waste still adhered to
them. This circumstance he explained
by saying that his work required him to
constantly have supply of oily waste
ready for use, and that he always carried
some in his pocket.
The prisoner was removed to the lock-
up, his trial being set for Monday morn
ing. His companions, Everett Smith
and John Stephen, were later on also
taken into custody. There have been
large number of mysterious fires within
the past two years. Barns suffered
worst of all The people became excited
and alarmed. Several times have re-
wards been offered but to no purpose.
Last Saturday the old block shop burned.
A reward of $1,000 was Immediately Of
fered for the capture of the tirebug. The
authorities are not sure that they have
the right man, but the evidence seemed
to warrant his arrest and trial.
The supposed firebug is a son Of Enos
Whitehouse, of the Board Of Engineers.
Both father and son are in the employ of
the water company. ''Sam," as he is
called by everybody, was married about
year ago and has one child. He is but
% years old. The greatest interest is
felt in his coming trial, opinions as to his
guilt or innocence being about equally
divided. Some think he is member of
a gang and will be frightened into
''squealing'' on his accomplices.
