AN INTERESTING PRoPHkcY.

AN IN u fk6VF hnCIs
A good many things which Abraham
Lincoln never said have been ascribed to
him, and an interesting controversy is now
going on over a prophecy which he is said
to have made This prophecy has within the
last two or three years been extensively
circulated by the press and by public speak
ers. Among others, it was quoted by
Governor Campbell of Ohio in his cele-
brated debate with Mckinley last autumn.
Some weeks ago ex-senator Ingalls, wrote
letter to Kansas City newspaper, allud-
ing to its quotation by the New Nation,
Mr.. Edward Bellamy's newspaper, and say
ing he could find nothing of it in Lincoln's
writings, and that his biographers knew
nothing of it. He therefore pronounced it
malignant, clumsy forgery" The New
Nation has since taken pains to inquire
into the matter, having received
scores of letters asking for more definite
information. In this weeks issue it an
nounces that it was written in 1865 to
Hon. w. R. Ellis, native of Indiana, at
the time said to have been living in nli-
| nois. The passage was as follows: eyes,
We may congratulate ourselves that this
cruel war is nearing close. It has cost a
vast amount of treasure and blood. The
best blood of the flower of American
youth has been freely offered upon our
country's altar that the nation might live.
1t has been, indeed, trying hour for the
republic, but see in the near future
a crisis arising that unnerves me,
and causes me to tremble for the safety OF
my country. As a result of the war, cor.
porations have been enthroned and an ere
of corruption in high places will follow
and the money power will continue its
sway, by appealing to the prejudices of the
people, until all wealth is aggregated in &
few hands, and the republic destroyed.
feel more anxiety for the safety of my
country than ever before, even in th'
midst of the war. God grant that my
fears may prove groundless.
This appears to settle the matter.

CITY FINANCES.

The Committees Report to the City
Council.
The finance committee of the city
council, at its meeting yesterday, agreed
to the following report:
We recommend that the report of the
city auditor showing the condition of
the funds for the week ending April %,
1892; the report of the same officer for
the month ending March 81, 1892, and
report Of the same officer on the water
overseer's statement for month of March,
1892, be filed.
In the matter of the petition from E.
d. Park. we recommend that the sum
of 81 be returned to petitioner upon the
presentation of proper demand drawn
upon the tax 1912 fund, for the rea-
son that the city assessor has certified
that petitioner paid taxes for improve
ments on lots 10 and 20, block 2Oh
Dickerson & Carr subdivision, where no
improvements existed.
In the matter of the petition from I.
L. Spencer we recommend that the sum
of $3.50 be returned to petitioner on the
certificate of the city assessor, that he
(the said Spencer) had paid taxes for
improvements on lot 3, block B. Newell
& Roeder's subdivision, when as mat
ter of fact there we're no improvements

THE CABLE ROAD.
THE REORGANIZATION TO BE SET
TIED THIS WEEK.
Indefatigable Receiver Crank Now In
Chicago-A Meeting to Be Held in
Few Days-Some of the
Proposed Changes.

A HERALD reporter learned yesterday
that the quiescent condition OF affairs in
cable company circles will soon give
way to unwonted activity. The reor-
ganization meeting to be held in Chicago
within the next few days will be, it is
thought by those who are we'll posted,
the signal for decided rejuvenation of
the corporation.
Receiver Crank is now in the east,
and authentic information may be ex-
pected in few days. The subject of
the paying up of the stock will, it is
hoped, be favorably treated by the
stockholders, and if the meeting results
successfully it will lead to the electric
ing of all the horse-car lines now being
operated by the cable company. Among
the most important branches OF such an
enterprise will be a kind of kite shaped
extension OF the Kurtz street line over
in East Los Angeles, which will vastly
facilitate the service in that part of the
city. The power to carry on the electric
service of the company, it is expected,
will be generated at the Grand-avenue
power-house.
There is very little doubt that definite
action is expected from the meeting in
Chica 20, because it will not be long now
until the annual interest charges will
fall due. If the company decide to pro-
ceed with the electrizing of the horse
car lines, the work will be undertaken
at once and several more miles of first
class street-car lines will be added to the
already magnificent cable system OF Los
Angeles.

THINK HE HAS SUICIDED,
r. H. AURICH MISSING SINCE LAST
TUESDAY.
His Friends Think He is No Longer
Alive-He Was Sick, Poor and Dis
appointed in Love Facts
Of the. Case.

His friends think R. H. Aurich has
committed suicide because of poverty,
severe illness and disappointment in
love. He has not been seen since last
Thursday. He resided at No. 329 West
| First street, and was of Swedish de-
scent. He came here in November last
from Philadelphia, very much broken
down in health and unable to follow his
trade of bookbinding because of his i'll
ness, which was rheumatism.
He brought letter from the Memorial
Baptist church in Philadelphia, and
| presented it to the First Bap-
tist church, of which Rev. DR.. Reed
is pastor. Since his arrival he was
unable to work, and obtained some
light employment from members OF the
church, and was loaned $40 from the
church poor fund. He met q young
woman at the clearinghouse where he
stayed, 329 West First street, and fell in
love with her, but his attentions were
not acceptable and he was rejected.
Everything seemed to conspire to make
him downcast, and of late he has several
times spoken of suicide to the landlady
of the lodging Last Sunday,
when walking home from church in
company with w. j. Shaw, the Sunday
school uperintendent, he said, "There's g
no use in my trying to live, anyhow"
and Mr.. Shaw reasoned with him at
some length.
On Tuesday morning he went to
Charles A. Keyser of 947 South
Grand avenue, who had given
him employment, and obtained
$11 which was due him. That night, at
late hour, he called at Rev. DR..
Reeds, 315 West Eighth street, and
handed him a bundle OF papers, and in
sisted on repaying the $40 loan be had
obtained from the church fund. DR..
Reed suspected that all was not right
with him, and refused to take the papers
or tho money, when Aurich threw
them down on the table, eaid goodbye,
and rushed out into the darkness.
Since then no one has seen him, and
those who knew him are convinced that
he has killed himself.
The landlady visited his room on
Wednesday and found he had gone, but
did not suspect anything wrong until
yesterday, when she went to
Mr.. keyser's to see if he was
working there. When she went to
his room on Wednesday she found a
lily bulb and note addressed to the
young woman in whom he was inter-
ested. The note simply asked the girl
to plant the lily bulb in remembrance
of the giver.
DR.. Reed reported the matter to Cap
tain Crissy, a member of the church
who knew Aurich, and he informed the
police, and thorough search was made
last night for the missing man by the
officers, without any result. Captain
Crissy is convinced that the poor fellow
has put an end to himself.

Captain Barrett Doing All Possible to
Remedy Mishaps.
The electric company was still strug-
Cling yesterday to get the cars going
over all the branches, but cars were not
run further north on the Spring street
line than Second street.
Late in the afternoon a HERALD re-
porter called at the power house, and
found Captain Barrett and his corps OF
electricians bending every effort toward
getting things in shape for starting up
today. The service yesterday was &C.
complished by one of the '25O horse
power dynamos. The one in which the
Insulation burnt out the other day has
been thoroughly repaired, and will be
in operation again today unless some.
thing unforseen happens.
The new 750 horsepower dynamo was
being set up yesterday, and may posi-.
bly, be ready to start this afternoon. 1t
was found that some of the parts of this
powerful piece of machinery were off in
their dimensions, and considerable time
has been consumed in cutting them
down.

presentation of proper demand.
We recommend that the petition from
w. w. Webb and the petition from g.
E. Webb be filed.
We recommend that the demand from
Frick Bros. for $3.50 on the street i'm

pany should pay said demand.
In the matter OF the $4,000 reinsurance
upon the city hail, which falls due May
2, 1892, we recommend it be reinsured
as follows, to-wit: To H. r. Hanna &
Co., agents of the Home Insurance COM
pany of New York, $2500, and to r. M.
Thomson & Co., agents of the Queen In

We recommend that $18494 be trans
ferred from the tax 1890-91 fund to the
cash fund; that the sum of $1105.17 be
transferred from the tax 1883 80 fund to
the cash fund; that the sum of $1617.1S
be transferred from the tax 1S87-88 fund
to the cash fund.

A change has been made in the officers
of the Temescal Tin Mine company,
which has resulted in the appointment
of Mr.. Gervaise Purcell of this city as
general manager of the company.
Mr.. Purcell yesterday, in conversation
had received instructions from his COM
pany to push the development of the
mines as rapidly as possible.
A new battery of pneumatic stamps
have been erected and will commence
work this week. A number of air drills
will be put in as fast as possible and
general move made in all directions.
The mine will in few days have a
stamping capacity of seventy-five tons

THE JUCH OPERA COMPANY.

Herr RubO States 1t Is Now a Co-Opera-
tive Affair.
Madame Rubo yesterday received a
letter from Herr Rubo, who is with the
Emma Juch Opera company in San
Francisco, which contains sad news for
the creditors which Manager Locke
created in this city. Herr Rubo writes
that Mr.. Locke has withdrawn entirely
from the proprietorship of the company
and that the members are continuing
its existence on the cooperative plan.
This means that legally the Emma Juch
opera company is disbanded, and a new
association formed which will not be
responsible for any debts incurred by
Mr.. Locke. So that able manager
again finds himself in position to ''let
the other fellow do the worrying" and
the creditors will have to wait till he
gets ready to pay them.

three, which would give representa-

committee additional safeguards had
been added to the booths, and that

Burke as a committee to see that the
additions to the booths were made.
