Terminal railroad company, was pres
ent, and presented the resolution ex-
tending the time in which the Terminal
company can charge So cents for round
trip and 20 cents for single trip be-
tween Pasadena and Los Angeles.
This resolution was passed by a
unanimous vote Of the board.
The auditing and finance committee

An invitation was read from the COM
mittee on the Lowe reception. asking
the council to join in the procession,
and on motion was accepted.
In accordance with the request OF the
board OF trade the following resolution
was passed:
Resolved, That it ia the sense of this
body that the people of Pasadena be and
are hereby recommended to abandon
their business and usual pursuits and
manner the successful completion OF the
Echo Mountain railway, and that August
%, 1893, be selected as the proper and

This election is to determine the wishes
OF the community regarding the recent

WILL FORCE PROCEEDINGS.
The action taken by the council today
relative to the paving question comes in
the nature of genuine surprise to most
OF our citizens. 1t was almost universally
conceded that the whole paving pro-
ceedings would be dropped, for the two
very good reasons that the proceedings
have been erroneous and that property
owners object to having the work
done now. 1t seems difficult to
believe that the council contemplate
forcing the paving work in the face Of
the fact that one-tenth of the property
owners of all of the interested frontage
have signed petition stating that they
do not desire the work to proceed on &C.
count of error in the proceedings of the
council and the stringency OF the money
market. 1t would seem, however, from
today's proceedings that this is exactly
what they propose to do, provided they
can get anyone to bid on the work,
which, by the way, seems exceedingly
doubtful.
Another act in today's proceedings,
that of declaring the $4,000 bond money
of the Perine Paving company forfeited,
will involve the city in in long and ex-
pensive law suit, and in the end very
likely the money will have to be paid
over, together with the costs Of the suit.
1t is refreshing to notice in this con-
nection the action of Councilman Nc
Quilting, who boldly stood up and voted
against the city appropriating this
money, and declaring his belief that the
action was not right.

SAN BERNARDINO.

Murder in Little Bear VaI1ey-Stab-
bing ARRAY on Il Street.
SAN BERNARDINo, Aug. 14.-Another
shooting is reported from Little Bear
valley. Early today the coroner re-
ceived word that murder had been
committed and to come up at once and
bring the sheriff with him. DR.. Thomp-
son started at once, accompanied by
Constable Blackburn. The inquest will
not be held before late this evening and
the coroner will not return before to-
morrow morning
The alleged murderer will doubtless
be brought back this evening by the
officer. As near as can be learned from
the meager accounts of the affair, a
party of hunters left the mountains for
Sheep creek and camped near Fred
Heaps place last evening. The party
had undoubtedly become intoxicated.
Charles Button and Gus Bohn, we'll
known in this city, became engaged in a
quarrel. The latter accused the former
of stealing bottle of whiskey, which
Button denied. Words followed and
Bohn drew knife and attempted to
stab Button. but was disarmed before
he could do any damage. Bohn secured
his rifle and Button also procured his
Winchester and waited for Bohn to at
tempt to shoot, a thing he was not slow
in doing. but before he could fire Button
shot him, killing him almost instantly.
STABBED IN THE BACK.
Today about 2 O'Clock cutting scrape
occurred on the sidewalk in front of
Anderson & Beams saloon, at the cor
ner of Third and G streets. It seems
there had been considerable bad blood
between Warren carp and Charles Steele
for some time. They met in the above
saloon and a wordy war followed. Steele
asked carp to come out in the street
and fight him. carp promptly accom-
modated him. They had barely reached
the sidewalk when the former hit the
latter in the mouth. bringing the claret
in big stream. carp, who is crippled
in one hand, drew pocket-knife and
stabbed his assailsnt twice before John
Leahorn, who was standing near, could
separate them. Steele has two bad cuts
across the back, but neither will prove
fatal. carp was arrested by Officer Cor
bett, while Steele was taken in charge
by Marshal Rolphs and taken before
Justice Teller and ewore to charge OF
The herald., 1893-08-15

it would seem that q grave mistake has
been made by the board in forcing pro-
ceedings in opposition to public senti-
ment, and it must eventually produce a
very decided reaction in public opinion
If persisted in.
WE TAKE 1T BACK.
Itappesrs that the newspapers have
been little too previous in the an
nouncement of the marriage of Mr..
Burt Hutchins of this city to Miss
Blanche Way of Portland. In fact, it is

Burt never thought of getting married.

ceived from Carrie Slater for property

hand the Lowe testimonial will meet at
8 80 O'Clock in Mr.. Metcalf's Office.
L. @. Wills, Macy Thompson's run
ming mate, was arrested by the marshal
Saturday and brought before Recorder
Rossitur for violation of the ordinance
against cycling on the sidewalk. He
acknowledged that both he and Thomp-
Hon knew the marshal was an officer
when he warned them to get off the
walk, claimed he was then ignorant Of
the ordinance against riding on the
walk. Mr.. Wills was fined 81, which he
promptly paid.

half an hour reciting the woes OF the
council in general and the city attorney
in particular during the past few weeks
at the hands of the press and the COM
mittee Of citizens who have the matter
in charge. In conclusion he expressed
his opposition to the return OF the $4,000
which the paving com pany has depos-
tied, not upon the ground that the paw
ing company has not been an innocent
party to the proceedings, but with the
expressed determination Of fighting the
matter out in the courts.
Regardless of Mr.. Walkers explana-
ton, which. in connection with Mr..
Palmer's report, plainly shows that the
company was using but ordinary busi-
ness principles in Withdrawing from the
contract. the council proceeded to pass a
resolution setting forth that the paving
company had failed to enter into con-
tract for performing the work. and de-
claring the $4,000 which accompanied the
bid forfeited to the city.
This resolution, however, failed to re-
ceive the unanimous vote of the council.
Mr.. A. X. McQuilling. one of the most
UPRIGHT men on the board, voted no. at
the same time expressing determine
tion to vote according to his conscience.
A secret session was held Immediately
following the vote, in which the future
action OF the council in the matter was
discussed.
MORE PAVING PROCEEDINGS.
City Attorney w. Z, Arthur submit
ted q report on the street paving pro-
ceedings, which was devoted entirely to
an attempt to refute the report of Mr..
Palmer, the paving expert, which has
been published in full by the HERALD.
Mr.. Arthur stated that the opinions of
this expert were worthless. and wound
up by expressing the belief that pro-
ceedings have been regular and that any
company doing the work could collect
its pay.
At the close OF this report Council
man Cox presented and read resolutions
calling for more bids on Raymond and
Fair Oaks avenues, this being the work
which was thrown up by the Perine
company. The reading OF these resolu-
tions raised discussion as to whether
any one would bid. Mr.. Arthur, how
ever, reassured the doubling Thomases
by stating that he had been ad-
vised that bids would be put in by one
paving company.
The resolutions were then passed, and
the city clerk instruced to readvertise
for bids to be received up to the 2Sth of
August.
Specifications were adopted for paving
Colorado street, from Little avenue to
De Lacy street; also a resolution order
ing work.

vertise for bids on this work, to be re-
ceived until August 2Sth, at IL O'Clock
noon.

Sunday at the beach, and would not part
with the memories of the day for great
deal.
1t was while standing on a rocky

watching the waves chasing one another
