AMERICANS IN MEXICO.
Mining Men Who Find the Country A
mirabIe.

Mining Men who Find the Country Ad-
mirable.
Messrs. G. G. Skelley and A. E. Milli-
ken, prominent mining men of Pueblo
Nueva, state of Durango, Mexico, who
have been in Los Angeles for several
days forming company and arranging
to purchase machinery for reducing
their ores at their mines leave for home
tomorrow, having been entirely success
full in their plans.
Regarding the outlook for mining,
especially for American capitalists and
operators, in Mexico, Mr.. Skelley ex-
pressed himself as very we'll satisfied.
'The impression seeming to prevail, at
leaet to some extent, that foreigners are
coerced or that their privileges are
abridged is simply nonsensical," Mr..
Skelley insisted. THAT some Ameri-
cans have got themselves into trouble
in Mexico is true, but that more do not
is wonder. A man who tends to his
own business, whoever he may be, is as
highly respected and as generously
treated in Mexico as he would be in the
United States. An energetic, progress
sive man ie appreciated as keenly there
although he may not be emulated-as
he would in Los Angeles, and capital is
courted there equally as it is here. The
fault with ma American when abroad
is his tendency to become arrogant, to
faunt the fact that he is an American,
hence, in his opinion, superior to others
of the genus homo. That he Is clannish
is fact that must be recognized by
even himself"
Mr.. Skelley regards the republic OF
Mexico as the possessor of more and
richer mineral deposits than any other
country on the globe, and prognosticates
bright future for that country-after
Uncle Samuel has become her possessor,
which he thirks must be not far off.

Mrs. wagnsr,s Damage Suit.


The defense had it's innings yesterday
in department. six OF the superior court,
Judge Otis of San Bernardino presiding,
in the damage suit OF Mrs. Lucy Wagner
against the Fulton iron works of this
city.
A number of witnesses were intro
duced to prove that the works had been
run without any more noise than neces-
sary in carrying on the work
of an iron works: that the damages
claimed to have been suffered by the
plaintiff to her property near the factory
by the jarring of the trip hammer was
greatly exaggerated, and that the price
Of her property had been enhanced in
value rather than deprecated by the
erection of the mandatory in that
locality.
Among the witnesses examined were:
VIM. Nicol, G.. s. Stearns, John Love,
Frank NJ. Doestart, 0. E. Dickson, S. j.
Llewellyn. John Haislip, G. FL. Pubslit,

THE STATES GROWTH.

How Southern California Has Doomed.
Northern Counties at a StandstilI.
The climate and resources of Southern
California and the resources and climate
of Northern California were pitted
against each other yesterday at the
meeting Of the state board of trade, says
the San Francisco Chronicle Of Wednes-
day. Gen. N. P. Chapman of Red Bluff
appeared for the upper counties, and in
a long and interesting paper reached the
conclusion that, with climate, fertility,
rainfall and cheap land all in their ia
vor, those sections ought to receive as
much new population as do the counties
south of the Tehachepi.
"The unpleasant fact appears" said
General Chapman, that the net in
crease of 343, ,436 in the population of the
state for 10 years, ending in 1890, can be
found in few only of the counties,
while some-the richest in natural re-
sources and advantages-have gained
little or none at all. Seven counties of
Southern California have received 81 per
cent of the entire increase of rural popu-
lation in the state-a very significant
fact" General Chapman further said
that out of the 343, 436 new settlers, 1885,
965 had gone into cities and towns of
over 5000 inhabitants. Onethird of this
increase may be found in San Francisco,
Oakland and Los Angeles.
Southern California and portions OF
Central California;" said he, shave
done we'll and are doing WE'LL let us be
| thankful for that. Northern California
needs the earnest, intelligent effort and
best energies of her most influential
citizens, and especially does it need
| something more than the mere opera
ton of trains on the part of the only
railroad we have. 1t needs it's direct
efforts to promote immigration"
AS soon as General Chapman had fin
ished, J. DeBarth Shorb took him to
task for his statement that Northern
California had the matter of climate in
its favor and was the richest iu natural
advantages. Shorb argued that suct
expressions tended to make an un
friendly feeling between the north ane
the south. Southern California, ht
said, had no rival the world over fo
evenness of climate, and it's natural re
sources were unsurpassed. As to rain
fall, it was Shorb's opinion that a local
ity which depended on that to the neg
lect of irrigation, was in bad way.
General Chapman defended his views
but paid high compliment to the ex
ceptional climates of Santa Barbara AM
San Diego. He believed, however, tha
men of small means would be bette
satisfied, and obtain better results fror
farming or horticulture in Norther
California than in the southern part {
the state.
A discussion of irrigation followed
which was taken part in by B. M. Ii
long and Will Greene of the Colusa SUI

SHE WENT BACK ON 1T.

A Romantic Marriage That Was Not
Contaminated.
One of the most singular complaints
ever filed in the county was brought
into the county clerks Office yesterday,
and brings to light romantic agree
ment that is stranger than any fiction.
The plaintiff in the case is Mr.. @. Ar
thur Steele, and the defendant Marie L.
Gronner. Mr.. Steele alleges that he has
lived in Los Angeles for over five years.
In October of this year he went to
Jackson, Mich, where he met Miss
Gronner, and they made an agreement.
By the terms of this under standing he
was to procure marriage license and
they were to 60 through the form of
marriage before justice of the peace,
but were not to be considered married
nor to live as man and wife until after
the marriage was solemnized in Cath
olic church, according to the customs
thereof. But this solemnization was to
take place Immediately after the cere-
mony before the justice.
This novel arrangement was evidently
designed on the part OF the indulgent
lover to meet some religious scruples of
his sweetheart, and the arrangements
were carried out according to pro-
gramme-or at least part of the pro-
gramme.
He procured a license, they found a
justice of the peace and went through
a marriage ceremony, the genial justice
doing all he could in the nature of a
civil contract to make the twain one
flesh.
Right here the bride put her foot
down and Mr.. Steele was not 80 much
married as he thought he was. She
changed her mind, which ladies have
claimed as their prerogative from time
immemorial and declined to consider
herself married or to 60 ahead with the
remainder of the agreement.
She refused to 60 to church, declined
to allow her husband any assumption of
marital rights and still refuses to be
Mrs. Steele. Naturally enough this has
grown tiresome 10 the plaintiff, and he
asks that the court determine whethe r
or not he is married, and if he is, that

the marriage be annulled and. declared
void. Just what operated on the mind
of Miss Gronner to bring about this
anomalous state of affairs is not men,
toned in the complaint.

4 Pretty Little Fairy Transformed Into
Pillar of Fire.
Chicago TriburR


There was a thrilling scene in the big ball
room at Battery d, when the clothing Of
Mary Knapp, a Jeu-year-old girl, caught fire
from a lighted match which some one had
thrown from the gallery. The child was
dressed as a fairy and The flames enVeloped
her body almost Instantly.
Fred S0ieTbeTg was standing near By

forward he threw il around her and had
almost smothered the flames, when some
one cried cut, " Take your coat away or
you'll smother her. and at the same time
dealt him blow, knocking him down. The
coat fell away and IN a moment more the

the flames from her burning clothes set the

The shocking accident threw a pail over

at the age Of IL years. His illness Is due
TO gangrene, from which he has been suf-
fering for about a year, and which is the
result Of refusing TO have his leg, which
was broken by a fall in 1887, properly
treated. The bone was broken in two
places. but Mr.. Clark refused to submit to
the customary medical attention. and for
some time hobbled about with the aid Of a
cane.
Mr.. Clark claims to have had the honor
of having shaken hands with George Wash
ington, which act he says he performed the
day alter the father Of his country had re-
tired from the Presidency in 1897. This
was when be was II years Of age.
