A NEW FIRM.

Sharp & Samson, the New Firm of
Funeral Directors.
Dexter Samson, who, for the past
five years has been member OF the
firm Of Garrett & Samson, has severed
his connection with the said firm and
has connected himself with the already
popular house of Robert Sharp & Co.
That the new firm of Sharp & Samson
will continue to grow still more popular
and be successful goes without saying.
Mr.. Samson's business career since he
has been in this city has commended
him to the people Ae one who ia deserv-
ing OF all success. Prior to his coming
to Los Angeles he WAS for seven years
connected with his brother, Hudson
Samson, of Pittsburg, Pa, one OF the
largest and finest undertaking houses in
the country and the only house in the
union which has private crematory in
connection with it. Tnis came hon se

gressive establishment in the country,

Of Robert Sharp, to all old. timers, lit
tie need be said, he having lived and
been actively engaged in business in this
city for 81 years. He has become thor
oughly and most fsvorably known to
them, and to this fact as much as any
thing is due the popularity of the un-
dertsking house OF Robert Sharp & Co.

So far as their parlors are concerned
there are none more commodious nor

in the state, nor is there q finer stock OF

the same can be said OF
their entire establishment and

are to solace all in their bereavme MT,
and to relieve their patrons of as much
of the unpleasant features of death as
possible. Promptness, kindness and
perfection in their work are features Of
both Mr.. Sharp aud Samson. Personal

THE showing made by che assignee in
the case of w. T. Beck & Co., dealers in
canned goods in San Francisco, is not q
very creditable one to the members of
that firm. Old Irwin Ayres, who made
q fortune in keeping a suffers tent at
Camp Bdwell in Surprise valley, saw
the storm coming and drew out of the
firm nearly four years ago, so be is not
very badly hurt. The present firm con-
sists of men who put in $11 900 and drew
out $25. 269 in three years; r. N. Simp-
con put in $l5, 900 and drew out $25 ,646 /;
and E. A, Cohen put in 5000 and
withdrew $22, $685. making a total OF $73,-
772 drawn out of a capital of $5l, 900, or
an overdraft of $22 772, which amount is
not regarded as being any really valuable
asset to the creditors. The members OF
the firm have not been Intentionally
dishonest, however, although their cred
itors fare badly. Their increased lisbil-
tiles are $l57, ,543 with available assets
at $38, ,4O9, leaving a deficit of $ll9, 1874
Much OF this loss has been sustained in
carrying" on salmon canneries in AL
askian waters and fruit canneries in the
bay counties of this state. Twenty
years ago Columbia river salmon were
worth $3.50 to SO in New York, but now
$3.50 is considered a good sale. The
transportation of fish in ice across the
continent is what has caused this decline
in canned goods.

WASHINGTON, April IAN exciting
week is promised In the house. The
struggle over the O'Nei-Joy con tested
election case will be resumed tomorrow.
Although it has been apparent since
this case has been up that at least a
dozen Democratic members we're op-
posed to seating the Democratic con-
testant, the partisan feeling engendered
during the last few days of the filibuster
has served to drive those who were
lukewarm into camp, and while they
will probably not vote for O'Neil, they
will at least lend their votes and pres
ence to make the necessary quorum to
seat the st. Louis Democrat.
The English Hillborn case will follow,
and, 80 far as known, the Democrats are
united on the proposition to seat Eng

On Tuesday. according to the notice
served by Mr.. Bland on Friday, he will
ask the house to consider the presidents
veto of the silver seigniorsge bill and
will move to pass the bill over the veto.
AS it requires two-thirds vote to over
rule the objections of the president,
there is little hope that Mr.. BANDS mo-
tion can be carried. But, nevertheless,
it is expected the debate will be of an
exceedingly lively character. The silver
men are in a state OF revolt, and they
svow their purpose to rake the admin
istration fore and aft. Some outspoken
criticism may be looked for. The de-
bate upon the proposition to pass the
bill over the veto may lGst week, if the
publicans will be glad to join them to
prevent limit being placed upon it.
When the veto message is disposed of,
the house will go back again to the ap-
preparation bills.
The postofice bill is still unfinished.
1t will be followed by the consular and
the army appropriation bills.

SCOTS CAPTURE.
The Fiend Run Down After . L0ng
Chase

Tho Fiend Run Down After . L0ng
Henry Scott the colored demon
who so brutality stabbed his wife Sum
day evening was. as stated last
night, captured after a long chase
near the Moline bluffs at about 8
O'Clock by Officers Ryan and Etzel.
1t will be remembered that when the
assault was made Scott was hit in
the head with a rock by James OAR
nell and lost his hat. He also
dropped the knife with which he did
the stabbing. He therefore escaped
coatless. hatless and knifeless, but
when found he wore a SLOUGH hat
which did not fit him, but where he
acquired it is unknown.
The Capture.
Officers Ryan and Etzel had been
out since since early in the morning,
and had come home for dinner, leav-
ing again at / o'clock with a horse
and buggy. They went directly to
Moline and started toward the bluffs.
They were guided from time to time
by information impaired to them by
farmers along the road. At about 2
O'Clock they stopped at farm house
at the foot Of the Moline bluffs, and
near the road to Coal Valley. Here
they asked if a strange negro had
been seen any place about, and were
informed that a man had been there
asking for dinner who very nearly
answered the description of Scott.
The officers drove along the road
and met man, of whom they asked
the same questions, and the man
told them that he had seen a colored
man, and gave good descrip-
ton of Scott. The informant
stated that about an hour be-
fore the colored man had gone
into the woods ahead of them, and
the officers promptly tied their horse,
and going on foot into the woods,
separated. Officer Etzel searched
for him in one direction and Officer
Ryan in another. 1t was not long
before Etzel stumbled upon him.
The Sleeping Beauty.
Scott was sleeping behind tree,
and started up as the officer stood
looking over him, but it was too late
the officer had him covered-and
after calling Officer Ryan he was
taken to the police station and thence
to the county Jail. where he is now
languishing.
Tie Victim.
The victim of the fiend's brutality,
Mrs. Scott, was taken to St. Antho.
ny's hospital yesterday afternoon
shortly after Scott was captured, and
passed quiet night, and is reported
as resting much easier to-day
