The Fall OF Pompeii to 30 Gwen in
This City.
For several days past number of
nuo.e-spifited citizens, interested in
lTomotag the welfare OF this city,
have been considering the possibility
OF a carnival season during the month
of April, and to that end have arranged
with Jas. Pain & Sons to send repre-
sentative here to consult with them as
to the feasibility OF producing in Los An
eelos their gorgeous historical spectacle,
The Last Days of Pompeii.
Mr.. 0. E. Skiff. manager Of the Pains,
came here for that purpose, and after
consulting with railroad companies re-
garding extensive and numerous ak
cursions, has reported iavorably on this
proposition, and it now rests with the
citizens of Los Angeles if they may have
the same great attraction that has
proven such a drawing power to the
cities OF the east, for whenever this
out OF door spectacle has been given
thousands and Thousands of visitors
have focked to the city to witness 1t.
The magnitude OF this work may be
realized when it is Understood that the
exhibits proposed for Los Angeles will
be identically the same as given by the
Messrs. Pain at Coney Island, N. Y,
Chicago during the worlds fair and
other metropolitan cities OF the east,
representing cost of nearly $4,000.
The spectacle is given in the open air,
nearly Blk acres of ground being re-
quired for the buildings, mountain, etc.
An immense ampitheater is erected,
seating come 1900 persons. great
lake lie prepared, representing the bay
OF Naples. Then the city OF Pompeii is
built with real buildings, such as the
famous Temple of Isis, bath houses,
ampitheater, arches, with Mount We
suvius in the distance; the city 80 built
being fac smile of the ancient Pompeii
in style OF architecture, streets, etc.
Some 500 people participate in the
fe ties given nightly, including all the
an Gent Roman sports. games and pas
times, with gorgeous professions OF
priests, choir boys, and Roman guards,
gladiatorial contests, beautiful dance OF
the Hover girls, ETC., etc., each exhibit
eliminating with the realistic eruption
OF Vesuvius and complete destruction of
the city. In addition to this there is
given nightly an extensive display OF
Pains fireworks, such as was given at
the Worlds Columbian exposition.
1t is proposed to give 15 OF these ex-
hibits in Los Angeles, giving three per
week, thus extending over period OF
five weeks--advertising extensively
every city within excursion distance of
this city, believing this great work will
arouse the interest OF every one far and
near and prove wonderful stimulus to
business by drawing thousands to the
city during this carnival season.
While the expense of the undertaking
is great, the promoters feel warranted
in proceeding, providing sufficient en-
couragement can be secured by the sale
of season boxes, which will be erected
in the grand stand. Here is an oppor-
tunity for Los Angeles, for if the specta-
Gle is given here it will surely create
just what the city now wants to enhanse
Its commercial interests.

By the Associated Press
CARSON, New. Feb. 10.-As yet no clue
to the person who robbed the car of the
Virginia and Truckee pay box. The
express company is not responsible for
the loss. as the money was merely
placed there by the pRymaster OF the
mills for convenience. The end door of
the express car was only secured by a
small bolt. The door was smashed in
with sledge hammer; and as all the
blows were Immediately over the bolt it
ia evident the deed was committed by
some one familiar with the position OF
the bolt. Messenger Gage is hard OF
hearing, and owing to the rattle of the
train did not hear the noise of the
blows on the outside of the door. He
says that when the man entered the car
and commanded him to throw up his
hands he was compelled to comply. as
his gun was out OF reach. The
man demanded the tin box con-
tanning the money. When informed
it was in the other end OF the car he
made Page get it. Page claims his
record shows that he will fight when
ever chance is offered. but says when
a man has the drop on him he treats
him the best he knows how.
The paymaster of the mills refuses to
divulge the amount in the box, but it is
variously estimated at between $1,000
and $1,000.

A number of citizens visited the city
hall yesterday and examined the new
plans for the Third street tunnel, drawn
last month by City Engineer Dock
weller, in accordance with a motion OF
Mr.. Munson, adopted by the city coun-
Gil. The idea is to build on a cheaper
basis than that proposed by the plans
OF four years ago, and yet have the tun-
mel ample and substantial enough Tor
all possible travel and traffic. The
length is 1854 feet, against 1880 feet in
the old plans, and the cost will run lit
tie if any above 100000, whereas the
old cost was about $l50,000. From Hill
to the esst portal of the tunnel is only l
in 33 grade, and from the west portal at
Hope to Flower street the grade is l in
40, making a very easy means OF quick
communication between the western hill
section and the main body of the city.
This improvement is regarded as just
as important as bridges and visducts Tor
the use Of the whole city and should
therefore be paid for by the city as a
whole, and not made burden on
special district.

their opinion mo damages will result to
the properly of said Robert Strong nor
to any property on said street between
said points by reason of said change OF
grade, but, on the contrary, we are of
opinion that all of said property, and
especially shat of Robert Strong, will be
materially benefit cd by the change of
grade; and we therefore report that no
damage will be sustained by any per-
son and that there is no necessity for
an assessment in said matter"

The romance of both traditional
and written history and the eXcit-
ing incidents that have interlinked
the evolution of periods in ages
past all present an attractive pic
ture to the student of modern
times. The towering old castles
that centuries ago overlooked the
scenes of war, suffering bar
barrie Ksplendor, now standing as
ruined memoried of crimson
record, fill us with feelings of
awe and fascination as we read or
hear of them. The checkered
career of royal personages who
have occupied prominent positions
and the rise and fall of famous
rulers who, through ignorance or
innate tyranny, have ruthlessly
and abandonedly governed empires
and prodigally wasted the earnings
of their subjects, all contribute to
the spice of historical writings that
go to complete the story of a great
world. EpOchs in civil and war

who have striven to better the
condition Of mankind men of let
tiers and philanthrOpists from the
leavening link that breaks the con-
tinuouS chain of desOlatiOn and de-
pravity that otherwise would be
handed down to pOsterity as an
evidence of shameful dissipation
of the Dark Ages. Modern Europe
brings over picture of refined
art. It's magnificent architecture,
picturesque country places, poet
ical landmarks, where genius has
been given birth and famous lead
ers spent their boyhood days, all
form a texture which brOadens in
