THE COURT HOUSE DIRT.
MIR. DONEGAN DIFFERS FROM sU-
PERvIsoR ~aRREsTER.
He Tried to Buy the Earth From the
Excavation, but His Offer Was
Declined-Hfs 6tate-
ment.

In Yesterdays HERALD was published
an interview with Supervisor Forester,
regarding certain rumors which had
been afoat regarding his official action.
In the conversation the following ques-
tions and replies were chronicled:
"Is it fact that dirt has been hauled
from the court house grounds to your
grounds, distant some 20 blocks?"
''It is. 1t was the nearest place that
the contractor could find to dump the
dirt. wanted it, and was glad to take
it. Now, cir. want you and everyone
else to understand that am an honest
man. No one can point to one single
act of mine upon this board which would
lead anyone to believe that / was 9th ar-
wise. bring to the discharge of my
duties as supervisor business expert
ence of long years, and of hard work"
"Mr. Forester, were you not aware OF
the fact that, being a supervisor of this
county, if you took court house dirt,
used court house laborers, and had q
| court house contractor do your private
work, it would, at least, cause comment,
! admitting that honesty surrounded all
OF the contracts you made in this con-
neetion ?"
Eyes, l admit that / was somewhat
| indiscreet, but l defy anyone to prove
that l was dishonest in that or any other
way"
The above happened to meet the eye
of good Republican, Mr.. d. F. Done
gan, the we'll known contractor of this
city, and on being seen he made the fol-
| lowing statement:
"Now, in regard to that dirt which
Mr.. Forester speaks of, have some
/, thing to say. When the excavating was
going on 1 went to Dick Hiechew, who
| was in charge of the grading work at the
court house, and also to Col. Morford,
the superintendent, and tried to buy the
dirt. / wanted it hauled to the corner
of Sand and Montreal streets, only about
three blocks away. Twas anxious to get
the dirt, and offered 15 cents load, and
on that being refused, offered to haul
it away for nothing, to furnish my own
teams and take it away without any
other expense to the county than the
] loading. This was also refused.
| At this same time they were
| on Buena Vista street, twice rs far away
as the place | wished to have it taken
| to. This satisfied me that something
was wrong about the matter, and that
some of the pets were being favored.
81 or any other contractor would have
| been glad to have done this work at hall
the cost which it will be to the county.
There were no bids advertised ior, an
of course no one had chance to COM
pete for the job"

DEMOCRATS AT ALHAMB RIA.
A Well Attended and Interesting Meet
s...ps LII

A Well Attended and Interesting Meet
ing Last Night.
An enthusiastic meeting of the Demo
Gratis of Alhambra was held last evening
at Stimson's hall. Among the numb er
present were good flowing of Repub.
licans, who seemed satisfied with what
was said and done. The president of
the evening was A. l.. Selig; the secre
tary, w. E. Tonneson, and the vice.
presidents, j. G. Wallace, E. L. Wat
kins, G. w. Luman, M. F. Morgan,
Cnas. Terrence, Chas. Richardson, DIR.
Wernigck, Gen. T. L. Skinner and j. d.
Mcmillan.
Hon. ]. De Barth Shorb was the first
speaker of the evening. and after short
talk on the tariff, he branched out on
the affairs OF the county and lucidly ex.
planned the horrible mismanagement OF
the present Republican county govern
ment, and the audience by their appre-
citation seemed to think there ought to be
change in the next administration.
The candidates were next presented,
and each explained their future ideas
of county affairs as they should be ad-
ministered, which they have not been
for the past two years.
Hon. 7. E. Gibbon was now intro
duced, and spent the balance of the
evenings time in showing the base uses
to which the Union League has con-
verted its assumed power to rob the tax
payers of their wages, their homes and
their future prospects.

IRVING M. SCoTT, of San Francisco, is
advertised to speak here for the Repub-
licans on the 22d inst, week from Sat-
urday. AS Mr.. Scott is an iron master
whom the tariff has enriched, and as he
has built three men-of-war for the gov
ernment during Mr.. Harrison's admin
istration, it is quite natural he should
speak we'll of the bridge that carried him
well over. But for the tariff on iron and
the navigation laws which prohibits the
registration of ships built in foreign
ports, Mr.. Scott would be quite as re-
spectacle as he is today, but not quite
as rich,

THE editor of the Chautauquan is
much puzzled as to the upshot of the
Homestead strike and its ultimate re-
suits, which is not surprising, seeing
that the social science of Chautauqua
does not study man as he is or will be,
but as he ought to be and will not be,
which of course only leads to perplexity
when confronted with man as he is in
full action on large scale. That is the
trouble with all of the visionary re-
formers who carry their ideas into poi
itics. They do not stop to consider that
parties and politics have to deal with
conditions, not with theories. Any man
of parts and imagination can draw up a
very fine-spun plan of what society
should be and what he would make it,
But no man can practically carry out
these theories, simply because he is
dealing with 8 question upon which no
practical agreement can be reached.

ONE of the most amiable gentlemen in
the state is Ex-Governor George G. Per-
kins. The ex-governor is an aspirant
for the United States senate, if the Re-
publicans have the legislature. In talk
ing about the fruit shipments, at the
meeting of the state board of trade,
Thursday, lie said the first thing to look
after was freight rates, for experience
has taught the growers that the rail-
roads will charge as much as the traffic
will bear" The more diplomatic Mr..
Mills gave pensive smile as he heard
this, and now, as the ex-governor con.
templates picture of the national cap
itol which overhangs his desk, he is
prone to sing: "Thou art go near and

JACK THE HUGGER.

Los Angeles Man Is Arrested at
Pomona.
"Jack the Hugger" has for two years
been annoying the pretty girls Of Po-
mona, by suddenly bestowing on them
unsought caresses while they were un-
suspectingly walking along the street.
Jacks method was to suddenly spring
out from some doorway, grab one of the
plump, tempting beauties go numerous
in Pomona, encircle her in hie arms and
energetically hug her.. perhaps throwing
in few kisses, as an earnest of the
warmth of his affection, He kept this
up for some time, and at last reduced
the young women of that vicinity to a
state OF terror.
He was very choice in his taste.
Driedup old maids, and women of all
degree who were not possessed of re-
markable physical attractions, were safe
from his violent endearments; but
whenever a rosy-cheeked, bright eyed, ;,
round figured young maid would ven
ture out after dark, she was liable to be
subjected to his momentary embrace. lie
never fingered long in these affairs, nor

any more Objectionable actions than
those mentioned, which, in the eyes OF
number of angry fathers, brothers and
overs, were Objectionable enough.
About two months ago Miss Maggie
Bowen, an 1S-year-old young woman,
had an encounter with Jack" but in
this case he failed, as usually was his
custom, to conceal his features. and the
girl got full view of the fellows face.
She made her escape from the amorous
wretch, but ever since she has remem.
bered his appearance.
Yesterday morning Miss Bowen was
walking along one of the main streets Of
Pomona, when she came face to face, as
she asserts, with Jack the Hugger"
She instantly gave the alarm, and the
man she indicated was arrested and
searched. A card was found on his per-
con giving the name of sd. E. Wolfe,
architect, ITO New High street, Los An
geles." He is man about 40 years
of age, not bad looking, and he pro-
tested his innocense. HIS examination
was set for 10 O'Clock this morning.
There is no such name, at the address
given, to be found in the directory of

that have been ordered. 1t has depre-
ciated in value since it was donated to
the observatory, ana the trustees have
not met with encourage gent enough
from private subscriptions to make them
see their way clear to the purchase OF
the large lens ordered. This posture of
affairs was probably what led the trus-
tees of the Chicago university to make
a move to purchase the glasses, which
are the largest in the world, and
they can save two or three years in
completing their observatory by secur-
ing them at once. In the meantime the
Southern California university trustees
will probably decide to select smaller
telescope, one which their available
means will justify, and which will
answer the purpose.

A Big Fire at Kinesburp.

KINGsBURG, Oct. 14.-This town this
morning suffered from most disastrous
confagration. The loss is estimated at
$4,000, but will probably be found to be
somewhat less. There is but little in
sured. Most of the business buildings
in town, two residences and M. s. Davis
& Co.'s general merchandise store are
destroyed, The building and stock OF
the latter were valued at $4,000. The
adjoining buildings that were destroyed
were occupied by tin chop, three
saloons, drug store, the hall of the

more urgent than the system he sub
mits for the education OF the enlisted

that the educating of enlisted troops
who are comparatively illiterate, makes
them better and more efficient soldiers

amongst the Spanish-American popula-

AMUSE MENTS.

The crowd that filled up the Grand
opera house last night had good time
of it. Mr.. Gus Heege gave faithful
impersonation of the sturdy Swedish
logger, and his auditors never laughed
so hard as when he wore his most seri-
GUS expression. His dialect is good, as
any one can testify who has lived among
the Scandinavian colonists in the north
west; and he never says coarse thing
for the sake of gallery laugh, at the
expense of propriety. His support is
good, especially Miss Hall, who imper-
sonates the logger's long-lost sister; and
Miss Deane. who i'm mpersonates the gush-
ipg girl OF the period. One of the most
attractive features is the Woodman' g
quartette, whose vocal advertisements
are very cleverly executed, especially
the singing lesson. Yon Yonson will be
repeated tonight, and, owing to the
great parade on the streets, the curtain
will not rise until $50. There will also
be matinee given at 2 O'Clock this
afternoon, with all the features of an
evening performance.

ALMOST A RACE RIOT,

A special to the Globe Democrat re.
ports race row at Chicago. The
story is that among the arrivals oil
State militia at the Worlds Fair
grounds was the Third regiment OF
Indiana. Its arrival created a sensa-
ton and almost riot. Company nj
OF the regiment is made up of coiored
men, all the other companies being
white. All the State troops had their
quarters assigned to them before ar
rival. and the Third regiment was
to have gone in 10 Manufacturers
Building. A vigorour protest was
made by the other regiments against
beng quartered with neSroes. The
matter was finally settled by assign
ing the regiment quarters by itself in
the transportation building.
The account strangely does not say
that kicking companies were from
the South. Surely Northern militia
could not have given out such an ex-
hibiticn of race prejudice. We COM
