Gen. M. G. Wentworth of the Ray
mond hotel has arrived from the east
where he has had a very prosperous
seoson. Mr.. Andrew McNally OF Chi
cago has also come to occupy his beauti-
full winter homo at Altadena. Yester-
day they took advantage of the beauti-
full day after the refreshing rain of the
previous night, and accompanied Pro-
feesor Lowe over the Mount Lowe rail-
way.
They had been preceded by Mr.. Will
lam Wincup of the Terminal railway,
who took his friends, Judge S. S. Page
of Chicago and @. E. Anthony OF Peoria
up over the bride roads to the summit
OF Mount Lowe. Mr.. Anthony will
make his home here, having become
enamored Of Southern Californis.
They describe the cloud effects OF
alternate sunshine and shadow on the
mountains as entranclngly beautiful.
The high relief of the great spurs and
the profound sbysses OF the dark cailons
are brought out in constantly varying
pictures.
In coming down the great incline they
started amidst clouds, but presently
they parted like curtain, and San
Gabriel valley, in all its loveliness, was
spread at their feet, and the shore line
of the Pacific came out clear and sharp
at Redondo and San Pedro.

ing tho Water
Company.

A most important suit was Instituted
in the United States court yesterday,
when q complaint was filed by the
Crystal Springs Land and Water COM
pany and s. G. Murphy, trustee, against
the city Of Los Angeles.
The suit grew out of the recent action
brought in the superior court by the
water company against the city to en-
join the company from interfering with
the flow of the water OF the city's pipes.
The suit instituted yesterday is brought
by the company to enjoin the city from
asserting any claim to the water rights,
and praying that the company may be-
come owners in fee of the pipes, water
rights and water.
After reviewing in full the facts con-
nected with the requirement OF the
water rights OF the property involved,
the complaint says:
''The city OF Los Angeles claims that
the city, as the successor of the Mexi-
can pueblo OF the Los Angeles, and by
virtue OF the law of Mexico governing
and repeating and fixing the rights OF a
pueblo to the waters OF streams flowing

stitutes portion of the bed of the river.
That the DEVELOPMENT made by the

pany, though made and done in lands
belonging to the Crystal Springs Land

the owners OF lands in the ranches San
Rafael and Los Feliz, were made with
out right, and that neither said Crystal
Springs Land and Water company nor
the said 8. G. Murphy has any right,
title or interest therein.
The claim is also made that the claim
of the city has greatly impaired the
market value of the property.
It is alleged that the value of the
property in controversy is greatly in ex-
cess OF the sum of $4,000 and ia of the
value OF more than 81, 900 900.

made from corrected reports for the
month OF November. Letters have been
sent to nearly all of the health officers
OF principal Places, and replies have
been received justifying the figures
herein given. 1t is earnestly desired
that the estimated population of each
town be given in figures by the local
health officer on his report blank each

arise, the report can be produced with
the original figures upon it. There ie

Reports from some eastern and middle
states show that smallpox is epidemic
in certain localities. In some places II
has produced frightful ravages, and
there seems to be no diminution In ite
prevalence, Notwithstanding that most
stringent measures have been taken in
limiting its spread. In view of the fact
that in . few weeks California will re.
ceive several thousand visitors from
different parts of the union, it would be
we'll to advise vaccination of all those
who are unprotected. and q revaccins.
tion of all those who have not been vac.
cinated during recent years. Nothing
could be more injurious to California
during the winter than an epidemic oi
smallpox. 1t should be urged upon the
people that nothing will limit Its spread
but vaccination.

TRAIN WRECKERS ON TRIAL,
The Conductor Threw Them Off
and They Wanted Revenge.
A Train Load of People Have q Mar
row Escape from Death.
The Penalty Is Death or imprisonment
for Life, and q Strong Chain OF
Evidence Is Made Against
the Two Prisoners.

The trial OF Victor and Francisco
Msldonado was commenced yesterday
in Judge Smiths court.
The two Mexicans, both young men
barely out OF their teens, are charged
with having attempted, on the l4th Of
last October. to derail one OF the Los
Angeles Terminal railway trains.
The punishment lie fixed at death, or
at least imprisonment for life, but as
the two brothers sat and listened to the
evidence upon which their liberty and
lives depended, they smiled and chatted
to one another, as if such things as
gallows and penitentiaries were un-
known to them.
The motive for the attempted crime.
which, if successful. would probably
have cost many people their lives, was
revenge, the conductor OF the Pasadena
train having put the brothers off the
train after they had refused to pay fare.
The defense was represented by Attor-
neys Horace Bell and Appel, Deputy
District Attorney Duruy conducting the
case for the state.
Conductor w. III. Fillmore stated that
the two defendants got upon the train
at First street. They refused to pay
fare and he put them off the cars near
the Santa Fe crossing.
They were abusive and threw stones
at the train.
Flagman 7. Wilson was called and
testified to being threatened by the de-
fendants. He picked up an iron wrench
and drove them off. They swore at him
and said they would wreck the -
aud kill the - conductor. They then
walked up the track towards Garvanza.
Late that night witness son told him
OF the attempt to wreck the train.
When the defendants made the threats,
witness thought they were bluffing and
did not think it worth while to pay any
attention to them.
Albert Nettleton was called and bein &
sworn stated that he was upon the train
the day OF the alleged crime. He saw
the two defendants upon the train.
they were pretty much under the in
huence OF liquor. He saw the condutor
put them off the train.
William Rogers was at the Santa Fe
crossing and saw the defendants. They
told witness they had been thrown off
the train, and asked him to help them
lick the railroad men. Witness found
they were drunk, and left them.
One OF the defendants threw stone
at witness friend, which struck him.
Later in the evening, while repassing
the same place, witness found board
lying across the Terminal track. The
board was Is feet long, and thick. The
rail upon which the board was placed
was about 10 feet from the edge of a
bluff having drop of rs feet. Witness
and his companion removed the plank
and placed it by the side of the track.
Jack Wagner, who was the companion
mentioned by the last witness, corrob-
grated his friends testimony.
The case went over until this morning.
