PASADENA, Aug. S0.--The political sit
uation grows warmer as the day for
holding the Republican primaries grows
nearer.
The chief fight will be between Cant.
Simpson and City Attorney w. E. AR
thur, for the honor of representing the
SEVENTEEN assembly district in the state
legislature.
The primaries to elect the twenty-one
delegates from this district will be held
next Friday from IL m. to z p. m. No
caucus to name these delegates has vet
been held, and it is on this line that the
battle will be fought.
The friends of Capt. Simpson
have declared against the time honored
caucus, and have adopted the plan OF
calling candidates by petition, holding
this to be the only fair way of deciding
the matter.
They name the following gentlemen
from the various wards, to be voted on
at the primaries: First ward-T. P.
Lukens, G. U. Bunnell, Calvin Hart
well, w. III. Wakeley, w. r. Stats !;
Second ward-John Mcdonald, w. p.
Wright, Hansen Turner, Fred Swift, L.
E. Cantield; Third ward-A. L. Hamil-
ton, A. Washburn, Ben w. Hahn, G. X.
Myers, E. G. Griffith; Fourth ward
Oscar Freeman, John 0. Lowe, j. f.
Church, f. A. Wallace, W. J. Craig, w.
w. Webster.
The followers of Mr.. Arthur are out
with notice requesting all Republicans
who favor his nomination to meet at
Williams hall Wednesday evening at
O'Clock to select three delegates to be
voted on at the primaries. The race,
as it stands at present, is very even,
with Simpson favorite, and if nothing
turns up before Friday, the contest will
be close.
AN ELoPEMENT SPoILED.
The loungers about the Santa Fe de-
pot were treated to quite an interesting
scene yesterday afternoon, at the arrival
of the east bound overland. The chief
actors were good looking miss OF about
eighteen summers and an irate mamma.
1t seems that the young lady who
resides in the Angel city, and certain
young gentleman of the same place, had
taken decided liking for each other,
which rapidly developed into a love affair.
All this was decidedly distasteful to the
girls mother, who positively forbid
her daughter to have anything to do
with the gentleman in question. As is
usual in such cases, this made matters
worse and it finally terminated by the
young people deciding to elope. Ac-
cordingly about train time the young
lady hied herself to the First street de-
pot and there met her beloved. Just as
they were congratulating themselves
on their lucky escape, the old
lady hove in sight, and boarded the
train just as it was pulling out. The
scene that followed was lively, to say
the least. When the train reached
Pasadena, she was informed by her
mother that she had to get off and 60
back home. This she refused to do, and
it was only by calling the conductor,
brakeman, and passengers to her aid
that the girl was finally deposited on
the platform. The young man, in the
meantime, had made himself scarce.
The next train bound for the city car
ried the would be runaway, under the
watchful eye of parent, back home, to
mediate on the uncertainties of life.
NOTES.
Mr.. G. E. Tebbetts leaves on tomor-
rows Santa Fe overland for Chicago,
where he will make short visit.
A party, composed of Mr.. and Mrs. E..
R. Hull, Mr.. and Mrs. Christy, and
several friends, returned today from a
delightful trip to San Diego.
Mr.. John Allin and daughter went
over to the island today for short stay.
Mrs. Griffith, accompanied by her son
and daughter, left today for Iowa, City.
Now the Terminal crossing matter is
laid away, the kicker is enjoying much
needed period of rest.
The directors OF the Pasadena Lake
Vineyard Land and Water company held
a special meeting this morning. The
secretary was ordered to advertise for
bids for digging the Raymond-avenue
ditch. The matter of continuing opera
tions for the development of water at
DEVILS Gate was discussed, and action
delayed until the next regular meeting.
A meeting of the school trustees was
held this morning. The question OF q
later opening of the schools was brought
up, but it was thought best to allow the
date to remain as it is for this year.
Next fall probably change will be
made.
The Harrison club held meeting
this evening in the city hall and made
arrangements for the opening meeting
of the campaign next Saturday evening.
The question is pertinently asked by
a taxpayer why the city hall should be
ueed as meeting place for any particu.
lar political club? The building is paid
for equally by every property holder
and its doors should be open equally to
all.
