The Los Angeles Terminal railroad
yesterday gave an excursion to the in
mates of the poor farm, taking them to
Terminal island. and giving them lunch
at the pavilion. A special car was at
tached to the morning train, and at the
county farm the train was met by the
expectant crowd, who quickly filed into
their car and were taken to the island
DR.. Post had charge of the party.
There were 40 inmates from the house
alone, beside some of the help from the
place. An enjoyable time was spent on
the island by the old fellows. None of
them went in bathing, however, as the
water and the air were very chilly. One
of the old men carried his violin, and
helped towards the general good time.
The party remained until O'Clock,
when they took the train for home.
When at the farm, as the men were
fling out of the car, one of the crowd
proposed three cheers for the railroad
officials. "Clear your throats, boys, be-
fore you give the cheers" he cried; and,
though the cheers were not so loud as
have been heard, they were given with
much feeling and gratitude.
There was quite a gathering of fami-
lies in Justice Austin's court yesterday
afternoon at the trial of Mrs. Pat Gar
rity, on charge of disturbing the
peace. There were the Garritys, Fish
ers, Moores and Brothertona, all of
whom took an active part in the pro-
ceedings, while large following o1
friends and sympathizers was on hand
to see the outcome of the feud. 1t all
grew out of little misunderstanding
that took place last Sunday. 1t seems
Mrs. Moore made some remarks highly
derogatory to Mrs. Garrity's character,
which were repeated to the latter. Mrs.
Clarity Immediately proceeded to clear
her character of the charge by applying
many names and epithets to Mrs. Moore,
in a loud and angry voice. At least 80
the latter claimed, and she brought a
bakers dozen OF witnesses to corrobo-
rate her story. Some of the female wit
nesses led the lawyers hard chase and
had them cat fault" several times.
Each side denied every accusation the
other made, but Justice Austin decided
the weight of the evidence was against
Mrs. Clarity and declared her guilty.
She will be sentenced today.
