SUNDAY FIRE sDRILLs.

Experiments which, While Valuable,
Scare Late Sleepers Out of Bed.
The fire department. has q system oi
exercise that is not generally enough
known to eliminate an element of fright
from unsuspecting citizens. For some
time past. Chief Walter s. Moore has
been having the hook aud ladder and
one of the engines go through the whole
process of putting out FIRE. The time
of the exercise is on Sunday morning,
and at about 6 o clock.
| Yesterday morning, at the hour mem
toned, the hook and ladder company
and an engine went, to Requena street,
and down below Los Angeles street they
tackled q three-story building. The en-
gine was fred up, streams of water were
Thrown, the ladders run up, and anyone
mot familiar with the practice would
liheve thought that the building wae in

lI Ine experiments are carried on in va
rious localities, Not long ago the Poto-
mac block, on Broadway, was the scene
of operations, and several ladies' living
| in the square were frightened nearly out
| Of their wits. The fire department can
not undertake to notify everybody when
the exercise takes place.
The principal object OF the chief, apart
from the engine practice, is to familiar
Use the boys OF the Hook and Ladder

an admirable idea and the fremen are

ADJUSTMENTS. A

The Arcaraz Operatlc company ar
rived from San Diego yesterday, after a
very successful tour in our neighboring
cities. The fact that they sing in Span
ish in no wise detracts from the charm
ing manner in which the company pre-
sents it's repertoire-opera not being de-
pendent to a great. extent upon Ian
guage, where the music indicates the
mood of the singers 80 we'll.
The Arcaraz troupe consists of sixty
artists, well-trained and possessed OF
excellent voices. Among these are
Sres. Montana and Serrano, tenors; Sr.
Quijada, baritone; s. Perie, basso; Sr.
Sanchez, light tenor; Sra. Delgado, 30
pralio; Sra. Pastor, contralto; and many
others.
The company appesrs tonight at
the Grand opera house in La
Tempestad the Tempest, comic
opera which has earned much success
in Spain and Mexico. The music is es.
sentially of that Spanish type which has
proven so attractive to those who be-
come familiarized to it. The plot of La
Tempestad is laid in Spain, and is son.e-
what after the style of the Chimes OF
Normandy, although the music is en-
tirely different.
Los Angeles being very much OF q
Cosmopolitan city and fond of good
music, there is no doubt that the Area
raz company and the Grand opera
house viii be well patronized during
the week.
Campanone is booked for tomorrow
night.

A PROPOSED RAILROAD.
A Rumor From Anaheim about a New
Line to the Coast.

A Rumor From Anaheim about a New
Line to the Coast.
As San Pedro has been officially des-
ignated as the most available harbor for
this section OF Southern California and
the one the government will improve, it
is matter of interest to every city OF
commercial Importance to have direct
communication Herewith.
During the past week party of cap.
italists and railroad men have visited
this portion of Orange county, says the
Anaheim Journal, and looked it over
with q view of inaugurating an enter
prise which will mean more to this
section than any yet inaugurated.
The route for railroad from San
Pedro, through Long Beach, Westmin-
ster and Garden Grove to Anaheim, Full
lerton and Placentia has been gone over.
and at an early day active operation will
commence.
A representative of this paper was
shown letters from railroad officials OF
one OF the largest companies in the
United States in which this matter was
discussed.
There is a law suit over San Pedro
property now pending in the supreme
court of this state in which the South
ern Pacific company and others are in
terested and which as soon as settled,
will allow fuller discussion Of this
matter, of so much importance to this
section of the country.
