Minor Cases Which Were Acted Upon
by the Justices Yesterday.
In Justice Austin's court yesterday
several cases of minor importance were
disposed of. An old charge against a
Chinaman was productive of some
amusement. Ah Joe was tried for fast
driving, was found guilty, and fined S.,
which he paid with great reluctance.
He vigorously denied that he was driv-
ing fast, and swore with all the elegance
and grace of the elusive Mongolian.
Joe Nickermeyer was fined SIS for
disturbing the peace of the Salvation
army on First street Sunday last. He
INDUCED in loud and offensive language
while they were carrying on their meet
ing.
All Sam and All Jim were tried for
scrapping. They had INDUCED in lit
tie game, when All Jim thought All Sam
had secured too much money from him
by those tricks for which s'the heather
Chinee is peculiar" He seized All Jim
by the queue, whirled him around, and
q lively fight ensued. Justice Austin
fined each of the Cinnamon $40.
ii. Victorson and N. A. Smith were
before his honor on charge of disturb
ing the peace. 1t was quarrel over
some fruit. Smith was fined $40, and
VictorHon was discharged.

THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING.
The Members Sit as a Board Of
Equalization.
The Sixth Street Opening Matter
Again Under Consideration.
Some Assessments Which We're Debated.
Several Sewer NJ alters Acted
Upon-Figueroa Street
Paving Postponed.

The city council was handicapped by
the board of equalization yesterday
morning, and only met for minute to
take a recess until IL o'clock. The
board spent the morning in discussing
the reduction of the assessment of the
Sunset telephone company, and the dis
cussion was a lively one. The matter
was reopened by motion made by Mr..
Refs to reconsider the action by which
the board had placed the assessment on
poles and wires at 800 per mile. This
assessment was in accordance with AS
SCISSOR Hinton's stubborn fight to in
crease the company's- assessment to a
figure which he thought commensurate
with its revenues.
He opposed the motion to reduce the
assessment to $50 per mile for poles and
wires, and became considerably excited.
He characterized the attempt to reduce
the figure as falling down by the coun-
Gil in front of corporate powers and in
terests.
Mr.. Rees took up the cudgels for the
company, and made a Demosthenean
effort for it. He thought the assess
ment at $50 way out of proportion to the
cost of the plant, and thought it was
eminently proper that the assessment
on the franchise should have been re-
duced from $4,000 to $4,000.
But the snappiest tilt of all was be-
tween Mr.. TUFTS and Assessor Hinton.
Mr.. Tufts asserted that the proper place
to have put the assessment was on the
assessed at $150,000 but that the as
/ e. IL xrfra md
should be based only on their actual
cost.
Mr.. Hinton scornfully took issue with
him on the franchise proposition, ask
ing him where he could get anything
tangible to assess in the franchise. He
challenged Mr.. Tufts to prove that his
ideas were correct, and finally inter-
rupted the latter so often that he lost
his own usual equilibrium and told the
assessor to sit down, or at least wait uA-
til he had finished what he had to say.
Hr. Hinton accused Mr.. Tufts of fall
down on the assessment.
Then Mr.. Nickel took hand and
endeavored to pour oil on the troubled
waters. The board got into
muddle, however, on motion of
his to split up the assessment
and put more on the franchise. The
city attorney thought this would inval-
idate the assessment, and after innum-
erable, but scattering arguments, the
board, by vote of 5 to 4, reduced the
assessment on the poles and wires from
500 to $50 per mile.
A few other protests were disposed Of,
and at noon the board and council both
took recesses until the afternoon.
During the morning President Bon
sail was very busily engaged in attach
ing his fine italian signature to the
funding bonds recently sold. 1t proved
to be an all day job with him.

He Is Supposed to Have Suicided by
Laudanum.
Coroner Weldon held an inquest at
the Soldiers home, yesterday, upon the
remains of one of the veterans, who
it was thought had committed suicide.
His name was N. E. Powers, and he was
81 years old. He suffered considerably
at times, and had been in the habit of
getting medicine in Santa Monica.
1t is thought that he took laudanum
at times to alleviate pain, and that such
was the case yesterday. He had not
been respondent, but after a full inves-
tigation the jury returned a verdict that
deceased had come to his death from an
overdose of laudanum, taken with sui
cidal intent.

Afternoon Session

Council met at 80, President Bonsall
in the chair.
ANOTHER SEWER RECOMMENDED.
Reading of minutes were dispensed
with. Report of the health officer was
read, recommending the construction of
a sewer on Montreal and Boston streets
and Bellevue avenue, to connect with
present sewer on Boston and Pearl street.
Petition of property holders was read
and on motion of Mr.. Tufts the matter
was turned over to the city engineer.
REPORT OF PUBLIC WORKS BOARD.
The report OF the board of public
works, as published in Saturdays HER
AID, was considered by sections and
adopted.
ELEVENTH STREET PAVEMENT.
Petition of property owners on
Eleventh street, for pavement between
Vernon and Alyarado streets, was read,
and with it protest from other owners,
which covers more than one-half OF the
entire frontage.
Mr.. Holton addressed the council at
some length in behalf of the protesting
parties. He read section from the
Vrooman act covering the question.
Mr.. Rhodes, by way of explanation,
stated that delay in the matter had
occurred because grade for Eleventh
street had not been established at the
time petition was fled. The proceed
ings were all regular enough, but de-
lay in the filing Of the protest made, is
what has held the matter back.
Mr.. j. III. Book addressed the council
on the merits of the case. The bona
fide residents of that locality we're all in
favor of the improvement of the street.
The principal protestant against the
measure is a resident of Wilmington,
does not reside in Los Angeles and never
will. The second largest frontage owner
{Mr. Duhcan) is also nonresident.
Mr.. Holton stated that Mr.. Banning
had invested largely in Catalina island
improvements and was not now pre-
pared for improvements on Eleventh
street. After awhile he will be ready
to improve and willing to pay for doing
so.
Mr.. McGarry moved to refer the case
for one week to the city attorney. That
gentleman stated that the proposition
was in such shape that the petition
can be acted on at present, and the re-
monetrance has no legal force. The
protest was fled before the grade was
established. The petition was ordered
filed.
WANTS A STAIRWAY.
Petition of s.. Hellman for stairway
to connect his cellar, was disallowed by
the committee. Mr.. Hellman repre-
sented that ii the petition of the OWNERS
OF the Bryson & Bonebrake block was
allowed, which asked permission to con-
struct q stairway into their basement,
other property holders should be ac-
corded the same privileges. Referred
to building eomMittee.
SCOTT STREET IMPROVEMENT.

tention.

GOVERNMENT APPROPRIA-
TiONS.

Representative Sayers, Of Texas, a
member of the Appropriation Com-
mittee, submitted statement to the
House on Saturday Of the appropria-
tons made by the regular annual ap-
preparation bills. In explaining the
statement, Sayers said the appropria-
tions of the first session Of the Fifty
first Congress aggregated s492, 96l ,O95,
without including appropriation of
SlO,OOO,OOO for sugar bounty and $780,
567, COS for dependent pensions; max
ing S6,367 ,605, which the present Con-
gress must provide for. "Our esti-
mate OF the appropriations Of the
present session" said Sayers, "is $780,
820,499. 1t may be assumed, how
ever, that this total may be increased
or diminished before the several bills
become laws. 1t is believed the esti-
mate makes liberal allowance for all
proper expenditures. Surprising the
appropriations of the short session Of
the present Congress do not exceed
those of the Senate proportionally,
they will aggregate, excluding the
river and harbor bill, s460, 82O,499 as
compared with the appropriations Of
the short session of the Fifty-frst
Congress-, aggregating S54l, 1872,
being a difference of more than $780,
OO0,0O0 in favor of the last session Of
the present Congress. The total ap-
preparations of the Fifty-first Con-
gross was L00S 600, 600 and the state
ment have prepared shows that the
total appropriations to be made by
the present Congress will be less by
about $63, 100000 than those of the
Fifty-tirst Congress. The estimated
revenue for the fiscal year, submitted
by the Secretary of the Treasury is
S455,0O0O(O, which will mean de-
hciency in the revenues, as compared
with the expenditures, of about $780,
100000. The estimate for appropria-
tions this session includes the pro-
vision for q sinking fund of S49,0OO,-
OOO."

Inventors Of Celluloid.

It was invented in 1860 by two
Americans, the brothers Hyatt, who
soon endeavored to bring their inveh-
tion into general use by establishing
works in the State Of New Jersey, at
Newark, which owes it's increase and
prosperity greatly to this industry.
In 1876, the brothers Hyatt introduced
their industry into France and estab-
lished similar mandatory at Stains,
near st. Denis. France now has two
large works where celluloid is made,
together with a number Of others OF
less Importance, and the product
turned out by these is considered the
best in the market. Germany also
possess two large factories, the chief
OF which is that Of Magnus, near Ber.
lin, while the largest in the world is
in London.-[M Montreal Star.

uRuIN IN WINTER.
He Enters n Hollow Tree and Remains
There Till Spring.


There Till Spring.
Bruin does not retire from the open
till he is compelled to do SO by frost
and snow He lives through the sum-
mer on berries, buds, insects Of every
kind, grass, mice, or any other small
animal that he can get. may say, for
the benefit of the gentlemen that pub
ish so many terrifying bear stories in
the daily newspapers, that bruin is as
harmless as COW during the summer,
and will take to his heels in fright on
sight of human being. It is only
when he leaves his lair too early in the
spring and he is not able to find any
thing to eat that ne will attack man;
but he prefers calf or sheep, and the
farmers tale is often short at shutdown,
says Our Animal Friends.
But when winter overtakes him he
sets about to find a winter home. He
has very likely during the summer
when poking his nose into hollow trees
looking for the honey of wild bees
seen some place that will suit him, and
to this he goes straightway. The tree
must be a large one, and he will not Sc
lect it unless there is space with plen-
ty of room where the snow or rain can
not reach him. This secured, he bun
dies himself together, his head on his
paws. closes his eyes, and remains in this
posture till 'those blind motions of the
spring" tell that "thc year has turned 4"
Then he drags himself out and begins
his struggle for an existence.
Sometimes, however, when lying in
this stupor, loud sounds startle Elm,
and his tree castle shakes; this is when
the lumbermen have found him, and
are assailing the tree with their axes.
He seldom escapes, and if he does he
will surely die in the snowy forest un-
less he can find another home.

American Pearls.

Pearl mussels are often found in the
upper Mississippi and in rivers flowing
to the lakes, but whenever a pearl is
discovered in any locality all the
mussels in the stream are Immediately
destroyed by persons in search of
others. If the search were systematic
ally conducted, as is done in some parts
of Germany, pearl fishery might be-
come On important industry in this
country. In Germany the streams are
carefully preserved and are flshcd for
pearls only once in ten or fifteen years,
The shells of mussels picked out of the
river are carefully opened with a pair
OF pinchers made for the purpose, and
if no pearl is found then the mussels are
replaced in the water. BY means of
such q system as this the annual find of
pearls in the German empire exceeds
$3.50, 1000 every year.

COAL GAS IN LATIN AMERICA
Places Where Immense Profits Are Made
on Fuel,

RlRceS "here Immense PROFITS Are Made
on Fuel.
1t is singular that so rich and large a
city as Mexico, with 4OO, 900 inhabitants,
should have only one small gas works,
and make its gas from resin and wood
ut a price equal to SO per 1000 feet.
Nicaragua has no gas works at all,
since it would be too expensive. Coal
is worth $50 on the coast.
Further south, in Buenos Ayres, is a
differ" ut state of affairs; the city has
800 mlIes of gas piping and one gas COM
PAW makes II per cent. profit on it's
stock. The price is $500 per 1000 feet.
The coal comes from Cardiff, Wales, of
which the freight is from So to So per
ton, and the coal costs from $i3 10 S15
per ton. This seems the price generally
throughout South America, and the
wonder now is justified, why Americans
do not step in and take away the trade
rom the British. Our state department
has issued special number of Consular
Reports on illuminating gas from which
he above data are CLEANED.
