HORTICULTURAL MATTERS.

Meeting Yesterday of the Southern Cali
fornia Commissioners.
The Southern California association oi
horticultural commissioners held meet.
ing at the Chamber OF Commerce hall
yesterday morning. Mr.. Hiram Hamil-
ton, was chairman, while Mr.. John
Scott acted as secretary.
Mr.. T. A. Rice of Ventura was
elected member of the association.
The chairman stated that orange grow
ers unions were being organized in
Orange county.
1t was stated that spraying twice q
year was apparently as effectual as fumi-
cation.
Remarks were made in reference to
the red prune, and black scales and
other pests.
Mr.. Hamilton referred to an account
of the Egyptian moth published in the
New York Weekly Express of June 22d.
Mr.. Hamilton also gave an interesting
account of cross effected between the
Malaga and Muecat grapes. He also
related his Investigations in regard to
bees. He argued that the seed of fruit.
and not the fruit itself, is modified by
hybridizing. Remarks were made by
Commissioner Collins and others. 1t
was stated that black bug or borer is
ipjuring peach trees, causing them to
wither and die.
A gentleman showed grapes seriously
affected by parasite. the fruit only be-
ing attacked, while the leaves remain
healthy. Remarkable cases Of eradi-
eating scale were reported. Mr.. Collins
said the action of the state board was
always in favor of San Francisco and

THE gentlemen in New York who sup.
pose that they have absolute possession
of the congress OF the United States at
its approaching session are liable to find
out that they are entirely too sanguine.
The ukase of England, even enforced by
the East India Council, may not prove
absolutely mandatory. Everything in a
conspiracy works we'll until it is discov-
cred that the party of the second part
is not willing. The complainant New
York capitalists who have undertaken
to deliver the American masses bound
hand and foot to the Lombard street
international wreckers, may learn that
they have not command of the goods.
And thereupon will develop a most se-
rious contingency of great significance
to honest men all over the world, who
do not enjoy being robbed and talked to

THE BANKS WILL OPEN.
NEXT WEEK WILL SEE THEM
READY FOR BUSINESS.
A Most FavorobIe Condition of Affairs
Provailina-TwoM More Examiners
Arrive to Accelerate
the Proceedings.

The two suspended national banks
the First and the Southern California
will open next week. This can be sci
down as q moral certainty. Therefore
the many amiable gentlemen who. &C
cording to the Times, have been scram-
bling for the position of receivers, and
the county official" who opened his little
ready letter-writer and kindly gave Mr..
Comptroller of Currency Eckles advice
as how to conduct his business, will
have to seek some other employment.
The mysterious unnamed gentleman,
who receives communications from
Comptroller Eckles in which he says
that he will not permit the banks to re-
open unless. etc.. ETC., will have plenty
of time in which to ascertain his own
identity.
The fact remains that the banks will
reopen next week. The HERALD on
this occasion, as usual, can give its au-
thority; it received the information
from most intelligent Dickey bird, and
everybody can depend upon his veracity.
He says that the Southern California
will open in the early part of the week.
and the First National very soon after
wards.
It can also be stated and relied upon
that Comptroller of the Currency Eckles
has comprehended the true situation Of
affairs here as regards the two suspended
banks, and has decided to do all in his
power to accelerate the time Of their
resumption. With this policy adopted
orders were sent at once to the
two other national bank examiners, Mr..
James B. Lazear of Denver and Mr.. q.
S. Eldridge of this state, to at once
come here and assist Examiner Wight
NAH. These two gentlemen arrived
yesterday and at once went to work.
The few formalities left for the examin-
ers to attend to will be soon transacted,
and then things will be as they were be-
fore the panic,

THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.


The Expense Report for the Ensuing
Year.
The fire commissioners met yesterday
in the city hall at 10 O'Clock, all being
present.
The matter of fire plug at the corner
of Eleventh and Sentous streets was
referred to the chief.
Thomas S. Howe's application for ap-
pointment as callman WAS renewed, his
former application having been made
under another administration.
In reference to the question OF cub
stitutes for callmen, Mr.. McLain said
that several of them had substitutes
nearly all the time, and on motion o +
Mr.. Kuhrts 1t was ordered that the chief
investigate the matter and report.
Mr.. Wirsching moved that the FORE
man of all the fire companies be in
show how often each man answered in
dividually, or was answered by a substi-
tute, and make reports of the same to
the commissioners.
Thomas s. Homes application was
again referred to and Mr.. Kuhrts moved
that he be appointed as soon as there
was vscancy in the department.
The mayor. however, said that he
had promised to G. W. Retzer the first
vacancy, and necessarily Homes appli-
cation was filed.
E. G. Russell presented an application
for appointment as callman of engine
No. z, which was filed.
The claim of M. G. House against Sam
Haskell was dismissed, through the
failure of Mr.. House to appear.
0. A. Eby and &. M. Smith, who pre-.
sented applications for appointment as
permanent firemen, were placed on file.
Mr.. Maud, driver of hose cart No. 4,
against whom charges oftampering with
the fire alarm system were brought,
made his appearance before the COM
missioners. He was unable to say any
thinGin his own behalf beyond the fact
that he did not know what be was do
ing at the time the offense was alleged
to have been committed.
| By q unanimous vote he was dropped
from the mem bership of the department..

ties of the Fourth, the Times has been
trying to lie itself into line again. II
has half admitted its roorbacks and
without contrition desires again to
stand in line with a community which
it has tried to wreck.
There is difference between the
Times as liar and the celebrated Baron
Munchausen, and it is altogether in
favor of the Baron. That distinguished
nobleman sometimes told stories that
were not within the lines of ordinary
probability. But when, observing the
countenances of his auditors, he saw
some signs of incredulity, he always
placed his hand on the hilt OF his
sword, with the remark that he had
been very careful to keep his narratives
within the bounds Of truth, and if any
gentleman doubted his statements he
was ready to fight him at any time or
place, or with any weapons.
Our esteemed contemporary differs
from Baron Munchausen in every re-
spect, and most remarkably in that it
has swallowed the receivership story for
the First National bank, and has practi-
cally admitted that 1t told lie when it
said that the Controller of the Currency,
in advance of the receipt of Examiner
Wightmsn's report, insisted that the
depositors of the Southern California
should unite in a petition for the re-
sumption of that bank. Having eaten
it's leek, and laboriously denied every
thing that it asserted, we suppose that
we can leave our esteemed contemporary
to the universal contempt of commu-
nifty which it has unsuccessfully tried
to wreck.

LA cRoIx's SUIT.

The Curious Claim for Damages Still on
Trial.
The damage suit of Vespasien La Croix
ys. A. L. APPEL was on trial again yester-
day before Judge Van Dyke, and the
arguments had not been reached by the
time of adjournment. although the tes-
timony was practically completed.
When it came to the defense, the de-
fendant told his story of the manner in
which be came to make any remarks
about Mr.. La Cro;x with reference to
his having killed a man in Louisiana,
and having served term in the peni-
tentiary for manslaughter.
In the course of the business of a
lodge o. Masons to which the defendant
belonged, he had occasion to investigate
the record of the plaintiff, and wrote
letters to louisiana. He received the
information about the conviction of La
Crox for manslaughter.
Later a question came up as to the
formation of committee OF arrange
ments for the celebration of the fall of
the Baatile, and La Croix's name was
suggested as one of the committeeman.

WHITrIER's NEW CHURCH.
Tho Catholic Place of Worship to be
Dedicated.

Tho Catholic Place of worship to be
Dedicated.
On Sunday morning next at 10 O'Clock
the Catholic church at Whittier will be
dedicated by Archbishop Mora of this
city with all the solem and Impression
ceremonies attending such occasions.
His Lordship will be assisted by several
priests OF the diocese, and by religious
societies that will attend in a body from
Los Angeles. A special train will leave
the Arcade depot at9 O'Clock Sunday
morning for Whittier, and tits anticipated
there will be a large attendance. The
fare has been reduced to SO cents for the
round trip, and all are invited.
To Father Montanerelli is due the
credit for the construction of this new
church. Although there are but few
Catholics living at Whittier yet the rever-
end gentleman has succeeded in\ procur-
ing subscriptions in and about the
country to build the church. The main
object of course is for the benefit of the
Catholic boys and girls Of the State
school, and it is the desire of those hav.
ing the excursion in hand that all
interested in the good cause should lend
their aid by turning out in large numbers
on that occasion.

THE funeral of Colonel O'Bryan, on
Boyle Heights yesterday, was attended
by large concourse of our best people.
He was sterling Democrat and one OF
natures noblemen. Missouri has con-
tributed large numbers of the most en-
terprising and valuable citizens of Cali
fornia, and in all essentials of manhood
and interesting personal traits Colonel
OBryan ranked amongst the highest.
1t is seldom indeed that a citizen who

been mourned 80 heartily as he. Men

The Sontag family are in hard lines,
and thus may it ever be with rufians Of
their type! There is little in the story
of such wretches, thank heaven, to in.
spire foolish people to initiate them.
This Evans-Sontag episode will undoubt-
edly have good results in California.
After all the sensationalzing efforts ot
the San Francisco newspapers to impart
mock heroic aspect to these ruflians
the fact remains that Sontag, horribly
wounded and covered with straw and
dung, had not courage enough to put an
end to his own life, while Evans lies be,
tween long and painful death frofl
wounds and the gallows. 1t is striking
object lesson for the young.

WITHOUT any claim OF access to official

reason to believe that early next week
the National Bank OF Southern Califor.

believe, in stating that the First Ma.

The defendant remarked to q fellow
society man that he would not serve on
q committee with an ex-convict, and al
luded to the possession of letters which
showed that he had killed man.
The defense then endeavored to intro
duce the letters which Mr.. APPEL had
received. A translstion of them had
been made and they were handed to
Judge Van Dyke to road.
A long article resulted between coun-
sci as to the admissability of the docu-
mente, and the court finally ruled that
they would not be competent. The wit
ness could give his recollection of the
conversations in which he had spoken
OF the plaintiff, but letters that he had
received, and which the plaintiff had
never seen would not be allowed in evil
dence.
The plaintiff went on the stand in re-
buttal late in the afternoon, but nothing
especially new was ELECTED from him.
The trial will probably be concluded
TODAY.

BELIEVING that California has had 6
very hard, and undeservedly hard, ex-
perience, we have unfeigned pleasure in
learning that the State Board of Exam
liners pronounce the Pacific band of San
Francisco in state which admits OF its
reorganization and early resumption ol
business. There has been come malign
influence at work to dismantle our
banks, and if this agency is ever dis.
covered there will be no end of trouble,
with big, big T. The "bubble, bubble,
toll and trouble' of the witches caul-
dron in Macbeth will be nothing to it.
The brightest future ever known to any
region was ahead for California until
this peculiar cataclysm was precipitated
on our people. We welcome the re-
sumption of all banks. None of them
should ever have been closed.

THE latest news from Chicago is that
a man named Palmer is passing a hat
around to raise subscription for the
Duke of Veragus, who is now said to be
in danger of losing his ancestral estates.
If a duke cannot keep his end up he
ought to 60 to work, as a etevedore or
sailor, or in some other useful occupa-
ton. That is what Christopher Column
bus would have done, and often did do.
For pauper mobiles no country has any
respect. At a critical stage of his career
Louis Philippe, at one time King of the
French, earned his living as teacher of
the French language. If the Duke of
Veragua is really hard up we will guar
antee him handsome living as teacher
OF the Spanish language in Los Angeles.
