DISTRESSING ACCIDENT.

George Green Falls and Fractures His
Skull.
A distressing accident occurred at 4 80
yesterday morning in the California sta
bles, 373 North Main street.
George Green, who was employed
there as stable hand, while dressing
fell through the window of his room and
struck the floor of the barn, about 10
feet below. He was picked up st once,
and, although perfectly conscious, the
blood which welled from the right side
of his head proved that he had been in
jured severely. DR.. Cole was at once
summoned, and on arrival found the in
jured mans skull had been crushed in
and was pressing on the brain. After
dressing the wound as well as possible
under the circumstances, the physician
sent him to St. Paul's hospital. When
Green arrived there be lapsed into un-
consciousness, in which condition he
still remained alta late hour laat night.
Very little hope is entertained Of his re-
covery.
Green was a most reliable, sober and
industrious man. He was about 38
years old, and it is believed was ma
tive OF Ohio. He had been connected
with the California stables for some
time, and was we'll known in this city,
having been in the employ OF p. L. Bud
niger Tor two years, and previously with
Wiley x Greeley of Pasadena for four
yeare.
The floor OF the room he occupied in
the stable adjoins the middle of win

which would nave been in his room,
WAS alightly down from the top, and
that while Green was dressing and still
under the influence of sleep, he leaned
againet the window frame. This at once
Gliding down over the lower sash into
the room below, left an opening through
which he fell, striking his head .vio-
lently against the floor outside and frac-
turing the brain.

The calm, blue waters Of Westlake
park have lately acquired a guardian,
who watches over their peaceful ex-
panse night and day. He does net wear
the dark blue uniform of the Angel City
police force, but one which is much
more appropriate, for he is arrayed in
habiliments of snowy whiteneaa. This
ever present guardian, in addition to
Watching human intruders of preda-
tory nature, takes great interest in the
nHh which glide and sport in the crystal
depths of the lake. He is an extraordi-
nary fellow, this ghostly protector, and
although he narrowly watches all
poschers, he nevertheless always carries
pouch himself, and never fails to re-
pienish II from time to time at the ex-
pense Of the city.
The advent of this guardian has also
instituted new game among the iuyen-

indulged in by all youngsters. 1t is.

gently appointed to carry out part Of the

lean, who indolently but necessarily
watches, keeping an eye on the visitor
and winking the other one at some un-
fortunate carp below. whose curiosity
gets the better part OF his discretion and
which ia only completely satisfied when
the capacious pouch of his white friend
envelops him.
The bird was purchased several days
ago from strolling pedlar by some OF
the boatmen at the lake, and by them

FRIDAY MORNING CLUB.
Paper by Margaret Collier Graham on
Sydney Lanier.

Paper by Margaret Collier Graham on
Sydney Lanier.
The guests Of the Friday Morning club
yeaterday were Mrs. Franklin Agnew,
Mrs. Geo. V. Wright and Mrs. Edgar R.
Wright of Pennsylvania, Mrs. R. H. Ha-
gan Of Massachusetts,, Mrs. L. Threl-
keld Of Kansas City, Miss Mamie Pat
rick of Ohio and Mrs. M. Fl. Merrill OF
Los Angeles.
The subject before the club was the
poet and musician, Sydney Lanier, who
lived in realm of ideal serenity, and
whose life was as sad struggle as the
history of genius records.
The paper read before the club was by
Margaret Collier Graham of South Pasa-
dena. Mrs. Graham is we'll known to
the public through her charming stories
in the Atlantic and the Century maga-
zinee of recent dats. Mrs. Graham said
Sydney Lanier was representative
poet, type of one phase of poetic crea-
tion. 1t was necessary to consider his
life becauee of its bearing on his poetry.
She then briefly outlined his life, his in
tense passion for music, the touching
and pathetic beauty of his short career
and his early death at 80.
The paper was interpolated with many
bits of poetry-fragment full of spirit
ual truths and beauty; selections from
Hymns from the Marshes, Sunrise, The
Waving of the Corn, Struggle, and 9TH
ere.
The intense esrnestness with which
Lanier invested his art held him in
thrall to the highest ethical ideas. He
strove to make poetry do what painting
has done better, and to make it do what
only music has hitherto done. This
supreme conjunction" between the po-
etic and the artistic gives to Lanier's
poetry its distinguishing characteristic.
Besides Lanier's poems he wrote Tiger
Lilies, a novel; the Science of English
Verse, Florida and several books for
boys.
Short as was his literary life It's fruit
will fill large space in the garnering Of
the poetic art in our country.

THE LIBRARY.
A Few Suggestions as to Some Possible
lmprOVemonta

Improvements.
The free city library as usual. was
crowded yesterday, with many gpatrons
Of literature, who kept the young
women assistant librarians very busV
and showed that an increased liking for
enjoyment OF a literary character is rap
idly taking possession OF young and old.
There is one thing however which
takes much away from the pleasure of
many of the visitors, and adds trouble
and annoyance to the attendants who 80
courteously supply their needs. That
one. thing is the condition Of the cata-
logue nc it at present exists. It's ar
rangement is Of an ancient character.
and many of the volumes in the library
are not included within its covers, New
works on fiction, literature and art are
being constantly received and put in
circulation, while every day increases
the annoyance of both librarians and
readers, and rendera all liable to vex-
atioue mistakes. The catalogue should
quickly and without delay.
There is also moderate kick concern
ing the lighting facilities in the reier-
ence room. Several evenings ago the
light became so dim that most Of the
occupants were compelled to retire and
there was naturally q general howl. 1t
is hoped that the ''powers that be" will
take hand in the matter and quickly
restore an equitable allowance OF lumin-
ance for the satisfaction of the late read
ers. Many persons inquire about the
bulletins the library formerly issued,
and commentupon their rdiscontinuance.
1t is hoped that they will soon reappear
and that event is looked forward to with

Detective Will Smith Tells OF the
Recent Affair at viselis.
Detective Will Smith of the Southern
Pacific company returned yesterday from
Visalia, where he was one of the posse
which surrounded the house on Thurs
day afternoon where Evans and Sontag
we're supposed to be.
He says that there is no doubt that
the men were not at the house.
II worked my way close up to the
place. which is Mrs. Birds, the mother
of Mrs. Evans. When l got close to
the house l could hear the women in
side laughing and joking, and l knew
then that the jig WAS up.
"In few moments / saw Eva Evans
at the second story window, and, as
she saw the country all dotted with
deputies, che commenced to laugh, and
she laughed go hard that l commenced
to laugh myself. There was no question
about our being fooled; the outlaws
were not there, and that is all there was
to it. The only man in the house was
Rev. Mr.. Ledford, who was making a
pastoral call.
"While | was talking with Eva and
some others, one of our posse, who was
some distance in the rear, accidentally
fred off his revolver. and one of those
with me remarked, guess that ia

WHEN some OF the San Francisco pa
pers started out to whoop up the propo-
sltion of having continuation OF the
worlds fair in that city, we advised
them to look carefully before they
eaped. We said that the cost of erect
ing buildings, transporting the exhibits,
and placing the fsir in condition TO at
tract large crowd of visitors, would
reach an enormous sum. We further
said that but few people from TIE east
and from Europe oould be induced to
,ross the continent to visit fair that
would necessarily be far less attractive
than the great Columbus exhibit
ton; that the only visitors who
could be depended upon would
be residents of the Pacific coast

FOUR TRAINS DAILY.
THE 8. P.'s TIME TABLE FOR ITS
BfONROvIA BRANCH.
The San Gabriel Rapid Transit TO Be
Absorbed on Monday-A Con-
tempornry's Error Cor
rected-Notes.

The Southern Pacific company viii
take charge of the San Gabriel Rapid
Transit road on Monday. Train Dis
patcher Hamilton has been busy lately
arranging the time table, which pro-
vides for four trains, which will all be
run into the Arcade depot. The line
from Ramona to Allso street
will not be operated except sufficiently
to hold the right of way and franchise.
In view of the above, the following
extract from the Times of yesterday will
serve to show how perfect the SCIENCE OF
how not to give the news is observed in the
railroad department of that paper.
The way some newspaper writers are
4, giving away the secret Intentions OF
the Southern Pacific company looks
like an appalling breach OF confidence
or sublime Imagination. For instance,
take that ong-since-antlcipated pur-
chaee of the San Gabriel Rapid Transit
road by the Southern Pacific, which a
Los Angeles paper 1.-THE HERALDl claims
to have exclusively reported as actu-
ally consummated many weeks ago. As
matter OF fact the negotiations for this

whom the transfer of control was to oc-
cur 10 but three days distant. Certain
security-holders of the little road are
said to be dissatisfied with the terms
proposed in the desired deal, and the
ownership cannot be changed until they
are willing to agree to it. That the
Southern Pacific will get the road no one
seems to doubt, but up to this writing
it has not secured it, according to the
statement of an official who is in posi-
ton to know. The uncertain state OF
affairs has induced the owners OF the
Rapid Transit to ask the Los Angeles
Terminal company to continue to oper-
ate the line TO Monrovia for a short
period after the termination of the lease,
which is the 18th inst. What the
Southern Pacific will do with the road
when it is finally obtained is mere
matter of guess work at present."
The only guess work" is that of the
Times writer. The road will be ex-
tended exactly as outlined recently in
the HERALD, being continued to Pomo-
ma, Chino and Riverside, and forming
part of the three loop system to Red
lands.

THE Murphy family are airing great
deal OF their soiled linen in sn Oakland
court just now. Mrs. Murphy was killed
in the terrible Oakland narrow-guage
railroad accident at the First-Btreet
bridge over year ago. She was the
widow OF Daniel 7. Murphy of the San
Francisco house OF Murphy, Grant &
Co., and her estate is valued at about
100000. She had made will in which
she left all her property, ehare and share
alike, to her three unmarried daughters.
The suit is brought by Lady Wolseley of
London, married daughter, and one of
the brothers. Some very racy letters
have been made public at the trial, in
which several OF San Francisco's leading
society people are talked of in. a way TO
make them appear very ridiculous. One
lady, who cuts broad swath ss leader
of the ton, is alluded to as person whom
the mother Murphy could not well
recognize because she had been her SER

THE council have taken the most
sensible course with reference to the
lands proposed for the headworks of the
projected water system for the city. II
the bond suit goes against the munich
pality the land will not be needed for
years, If at all, and the suit can be dis
continued at any time. When 1t was
suggested to the council, at the time the
question of appropriating $4,000 to
purchase this land was up. that the
city could proceed by condemnation
suit to secure whatever land was needed
for the water system. those in favor of
closing the transaction at once
claimed that such suit might
be held in the courts for years,
and would prove too tedious a
course to pursue. We know that an inn
preston to this effect has gained ground
because 1t took the city fifteen years to
epen Los Angeles street. The reason
why 30 much time was spent in that
suit was because there were go many
adverse parties and interests in the con-
tention, and because there never was
harmony of action by the city on the
subject until towards the end. But
there is no reason why there should
be mors procrastination in condemning
land for a public purpose for the city
than there usually is in similar suits
by railroads for right of way. The City
Water company's contract has five years
to run yet, and there 10 surely timo
enough to put through condemnation
suit long before that contract expires.
