John Jennings and Charles Nelson,
two toughs from Wilmington, were
arrested in this city yesterday afternoon
by Officer Vail for begging upon the
streets. Jennings was particularly fresh
and would not take negative answer
when he asked any one for financial
assistance. He became SO persistent
that the officer took them into custody.
Alderman Berry gave them hearing
soon after and committed Jennings to
jail for 80 days. Nelson was discharged
because he was not caught in the act.

erage system. In contrast with the
drainage OF that city Los Angeles will
have q most perfect system of sewerage.
All the wastaee OF this city will be car
ried directly to the ocean. The outfall
sewer takes the sewage from series OF
intercepting sewers which are construct
ed inside the city TO receive the wastage
from the local sewers, and is then carried
sixteen miles to the ocean, at a point
remote from any settlement, and taken
into the sea some 600 feet where it Is
discharged some twenty or thirty feet
under the surface OF the water. Such a
system, when in full operation, cannot
but work very bsnefcially. As the flow
seaward will be constant. there will be
no chance for sewer gas to generate in
the city, and all the noxious effects oi
sewage gathering and stagnatinG at
points inside the city are avoided. The
fact that Los Angeles will be one Of the
best drained cities in the world will go
far to make her one OF the choicest cities
tor residence in the United States.

THE charge against Abram Aguiiar for
the murder OF his wife was dismissed
Yesterday by judge Smith. The district
attorney refused to prosecute, on the
ground that there was no evidence OF
Aguilar's guilt. In the preliminary ex-
animation there was unimpeachable
testimony adduced from reputable wit
nesses that the accused WAS twenty
miles away from the scene of the muir
der ut the time it was committed. There
is no reason to believe that the exoner-
alton OF Aguilar OF the crime ia not
urally raised, Who committed this hor-
rible crime? 1t was one OF the most
atrocious ever perpetrated, done in broad
daylight and in densely populated
neighborhood. A young woman ia seen
in the rear yard of the house in which
che lived in Eaet Los Ange lesenveloped
in flames, and neighbors are attracted
to her by her sgonized screams. Her
clothes are found to have been saturated
with come chemical combustible which
had been ignted. and she died in great
agony. just before her death she SOL
emnly declared tina: her husband
had committed the deed. 1t was
shown that the woman and her husband
had not lived happily together, and that
che had left him. There was also some
evidence that went to show that the
separation WAS not devoid of bitterness
on the part of the woman. A theory
has been entertained by some that she
did the deed herself so as to avenge her
self upon her husband; but this theory
would imply degree OF credulity which
it is difficult, on reasonable principles,
to entertain. Who, then. could have
had sufficient motive to prompt so
iendish an act? This question will in
all probability never be answered. But
il does seem to a dispassionate critic
that, when the affair was fresh, il
keen detective work had been done it
would have got at the bottom of this
mystery and placed the crime where it
belonged. 1t is not to the credit of our
detective service that this appalling
daylight murder goes unwhipped OF

A VERY FAT OFFICE.

1t is estimated by q county officer,
whose business it is to keep close eye
on public affairs. that the county as
sessor's Office is worth from $4,000 to
$4,000 a year. He receives. besides
his regular salary Of $4,000 per annum,
15 per cent on all the poll taxes col
lected, and liberal percentage on per-
sonal property taxes. We have no
means of verifying the statement that
the assessors Office is worth $4,000 to
$4,000 q year, but even If that total
were very largely discounted, it shows
that he receives much larger compen-
sation than any officer is entitled to.
The fixed salary itself is more than the
services are worth, compared with the
remuneration in businesses that re-
quire as much ability and attention as
the asaesuor's offics exacts from the
incumbent. In all other county Offices
where fees are collected, they go into
the treasury instead OF the pockets OF
the incu m bents, and we believe that
there ie none of the county
Offices to which legitimate per-
quieites are attached. 1t is true that
in the case of the com mission allowed
on the collection OF poll taxes that is
paid by the state, but this commission
should go into the county treasury, as
the assessor is paid magnificent salary
by the county and his tims properly b.
longs to the county. But the percent
age allowed on the collection of personal
property taxes is purely county affair
and should be paid into tho county
treasury. The salary of $500 year
paid to the assessor is more than the
Office is worth, and when to that Is super
added the percentage, the compensation
he receives is simply enormous. 1t is
such inordinste incomes as that derived
from the sssessor's Office that encourage
all sorts OF corruption and frauds in the
primary elections and in the nominating
conventions. man who can count on
500, 900 for four years term can well
afford to spend great deal OF money in
order to achieve the position. Low sal.
aries. therefore, mean raform, not only
in the offices themselves, but honest
primaries and decent nominating coz
ven tions.

After recovering from th lie surprise VIII ch at

responded with rush. All day yesterday the

impatient ior the auction and anxious o Sc

chases at private sale. Never in Los Angeles,
1t is sate to say, has ever an auction sale in
any mercantile establishment excited more
general in crest. Times being hard, people
seemed to realize that goods would go for next
to nothing, and that's exactly what they did.
The prices which were paid for many articles
same goods, but they had to go. The highest
bidder took off the thing offered in every in.
stance, and such blrgainil God watches. gold

ried off gold chain for sum that he could
have broken up the chain ana sold 1t for old
gold by the pennyweight and gotten back
what he had paid for it. These and such bar
gains was the way the sale went all day. 1t is
a conservative statement to say that hardly
anyone attended the sale who did not make a
purchase, SO ridiculously low did he goods go
of.
The sale, however, will be continued, every
day, commencing at p m. aud at p. m,

THERE is wide complaint among peo-
pie who ride in the street cars about the
overcrowding of the electric cars,
especially at certain times OF the day
and evening. There are seats for thirty
elk people in the longest cars, but these
are often 30 packed that there is
scarcely standing room in them. At
certain hours in the day when the travel
is greatest the seats are all yielded to
ladies and the men have to stand. The
remedy for this discomfort is to run the
cars more frequently at the hours when
the travel is greatest. Each passenger
is entitled to a seat. That is whas he is
supposed 20 pay for, and unless the
difficulty of furnishing the accommode.
tion is insuperable ne should have it.
In Paris the omnibuses ars not allowed
to carry more passengers than they caE
seat, and when the seats are all full
they are compelled to notify this public
of the fact by displaying a placard to
that effect. We DO not insist on 30
strict q rule here, but the company
should meet the hours OF greatest travel
with an increased number OF cars to ac-
commodate it.
