GROUND BROKEN.
nrll

Work Begun on the New East River
Bridge.
New YORK, Aug. 21.--Ground was
broken today at the New York end OF
the new Blackwell's island bridge, which
is to furnish the Long Island railroad an
entrance into New York city. There
was no ceremony. The bridge will have
a capacity Of four railroad tracks. if need
be, besides roadway and footwslks on
either side. The spans over both chan
nels of the river will each be 855 feet.
The span on the island will be 635 feet
between the centers OF the piers. The
di1tance between the centers of the two
extreme points will be 1856 feet. 1t will
reach squarely across the river, touching
the Long Island shore at Ravenswood.
and form junction with the Long
Island railroad at Sunnyside, midway
between Long Island City and Woodside.
The approach on the Long Island side
will be by steel viaduct. In order to
furnish more direct route to Manhat-
tan and Brighton Beach. a ''cut-of"
will probably be built connecting with
the Manhattan Beach division OF the
Long Island road. 1t is calculated that
passengers from the union station at
Third avenue and Sixty-fourth street,
New York city. can reach Manhattan
Beach in 40 minutes without changing
cars. This is a reduction in time of
more than 80 per cent. BY most of the
present routes there are disagreeable
changes. When the New York and New
Jersey bridge is completed the Long
Island road will be able to tap directly
all the great roads centering in New
York

Yesterday James F. Wendell OF

company in the circuit court on behalf

suits for $4,000 each for injuries sus-

the same facts as the suits filed by Mr..

In this state.
A complaint was filed in the United

Los ANGELES HERALD WEDNESDAY MORNING. AUGUST 2s 1884,
TO KEEP OUT THE REDS
PROPOSED EXCLUSION OF ALIEN
ANARCHISTS.
Second Report in Favor OF Rigid
Legislation Against Foreign Scum
by tho judiciary
Committee.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.-A second re-
port favoring the rigid exclusion and
deportation of alien anarchists has been
made by the committee on judiciary.
The report says:
1T is admitted on all hands that the
question is one OF very great Importance
and that legislation on the subject is
called for by every consideration OF pub.
lie safety. The committee is advised
that, owing to the severe legislation re-
Gently adopted by France and Italy, q
great many anarchists are making their
way to the United States. and, as under
the existing laws they cannot be denied
admission to our territory, the United
States will soon be the rendezvous of
these human monsters. unless the pro-
posed legislation is speedily adopted.
Your committee is OF the opinion
that the United States is fully justified
by the existing conditions in using all
its powers to prevent the immigration
and settlement in this country Of men
who repudiate all law, all government,
and practically proclaim themselves ae
enemies OF mankind.
Your committee has no disposition
to hamper the rigorous and prompt ex-
ecution of law providing for the ex-
clusion and deportation by hundreds OF
unnecessary proceedings or delays, and
is not willing to concsde that the super
intendent of immigration and the secre-
tary Of the treasury may not be fully
trusted to confine the operation OF the
law to those who are justly subject to
its provisions"
The report takes up the various OBJ.
jections made to the proposed measure
and disposes OF each one of them. Con.
cerning the objection that the bill is
faulty in not defining anarchy, the re-
port says:
"As the meaning of the word 10 de-
fined as absence of government; q state
OF society where is no law or supreme
power; a state OF lawlessness; political
confusion and its meaning as known, ii
is considered unnecessary to mber
the act with special definition"
Tine committee meets the objection
that a person should not be charged
with anarchy and deported, without q
jury trial, by saying:
1T would hardly be contended, we
suppose, that the government ought to
maintain q jury at every port OF entry
ior VIC puIposb VI passing Ou suo quail
fications OF immigrants who desire to
enter. We are unable to perceive upon
what principle a jury trial is insisted
upon in order to deport an alien whose
residence in the country is considered
detrimental to the public welfare"
In conclusion the report states there
is full constitutional power for the
enactment OF the proposed law. and that
there is urgent necessity for the imme.
diate passage of the bill.

From Mexico.

Mrs. Baldwin Gets 100000 Indemnity
From Mexico.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2l.--A celebrated
case which has occupied good part OF
the attention of the state department.
for seven years, and has also figured in
congress for several years, has just come
to successful termination, and the
Mexican government has placed with
the state department to the credit Of
Mrs. Leon Mcleod Baldwin, the sum of
$20, 600, as indemnity for the assassina-
tion of her husband. MIR. Baldwin was
superintendent or manager of the Val.
encia mines. In 1877, while making a
tour OF a group of mines belonging to a
party of American capitalists, he was
fred on by two desperados and was
badly wounded and sought refuge in a
tunnel. The desperadoes called upon
the unarmed miners TO surrender Bald

helpless men, Baldwin surrendered him.

lowed to pay ransom and 20 free. The
bandits put him on a mule, hurried him
down the road, and in few minutes
shot him through the brain and disap-
peared. The Mexican government re-
nounced the responsibility for the assas-
sination and has taken seven years to
determine otherwise.

The visit OF Vice. Consul GottGchalk tt
His Home in Los Angsies-some
Interesting Facts About
Germany.

Fred @. Gottschalk, United States
vice.conaul at Stuttgart. Germany. is in
the city on visit to his home. He will
leave today upon his return to his post
after weeks visit in Los Angeles.
Mr.. Gottschalk was seen yesterday by
HERALD reporter to whom he told
many interesting thinga about that coun-
try. Tue town OF Stuttgart has $50 600
inhabitants and is the capitol of the
kingdom of Wurttemburg, an independ.
ent state about the size of San Bernar-
dino. 1t has a population OF 100000
people with an army of 10000 soldiers.
of whom 10000 are continuously in SER
vice. Its chief products for export are
wooden goods and mouth harmonicss.
Skilled labor receives $3 per week.
In the kingdom there are $50 PEN
sioners OF the United States who draw
$50, 600 year for services performed in
the civil war, and who have returned to
their native country to live.
The people there, Mr.. Gottschalk said,
were eagerly looking forward to the re-
peal of the Mckinley tariff bill in order
that they may have an increased market
for their goods. He said that fully $2,-
5OO,0 900 worth of manufactured wooden
articles were lying in stock ready to be
shipped here.
The country believes in protection to
such articles as come in competition
with their home products, and are quick
to adjust the duty according to oircum-
stances. They discriminate against
France at all times and the feeling en-.
gendered during the last war is still ex-
istent. Everything is taxed to the ut
most. For instance, tax is collected
on both funerals and marriages.. Fu-
nerals are divided into three classes.
and it depends upon the class as to the
amount that must be paid. The first
class consists OF 10 carriages and over.
The town OF Stuttgart has gained a
reputation all over Europe for holding
Fourth of July celebrations. These cell
ebrations were inaugurated in 1890,
through the fundamentally of Louis
Gottschalk, at that time the consul
from this country. They now have
great crowds come from all around to
take part. The oity also possesses a
strict American club, the only one OF its
character in Europe.
Mr.. Gottschalk is the youngest con-
sulste officer in the service end was ap.
pointed by President Harrison and re.
appointed by Cleveland. He says that
there is no place like Los Angeles. and
since his residence OF five years abroad
he is astonished at the progress made in
the city. He spoke OF Miss Julia OF.
who is studying at the musical conserv'
atory at Stuttgart, and who is making
fine progress on the piano. Miss Mary

domestic. The testimony did not differ
from the story of the affair published at
the time, with the exception OF the at
;empts of the defendant to show that
tho girl encouraged his advances.
OaEsady is from Chicago, where he
was in the ice business for 10 years. He
had been working for over year for the
National Ice company of this city.
The girl and Mrs. Josephine Cole, at
whose residence on Alvarado street she
was working, testified very clearly about
the assault. Louisa Starke said Csssady
came to the kitchen door where she was
scrubbiug the floor, and when she told
him they did not want ice that day
he smiled at her, came in and pushed
her over. When he assaulted her she
screamed for Mrs. Cole who came at
once and Cassidy went away, giving
the fictitious name of Mullen.
Mrs. Cole corroborated the girl and
related how she heard the cries for help
and ran down stairs, finding Cassady as
saulting her servant. She told him to
get out and he meekly answered, "Yes
marm," and got.
When called upon for his version,
Cassidy said he had previously taken
small liberties with Louisa Starke, such
as kissing and hugging her, and that
was all he was doing June Goth. When
be called at the house that day, the
girl, he claimed, talked with him and
he sat down on the floor beside her.
She told him she was going away and
would let him know where her address
would be. He denied trying to assault
her and said he was just playing.
The case was given to the jury at 5
o'clock and they did not come to speedy
agre2ment,

Nebraska Railroads. Reducing For0e
and Cutting Wages.

Nebraska Railroads Reducing Forces
and Cutting Wages.
OMAHA, Aug. 21.-Nebraska railroads
are reducing forces. This is partly due
to the drought. A Burlington official
today, in speaking of the wholesale dis
charge OF employees now going ON,
said:
III believe 1t would be O conservative
estimate to say that 1900 men on the
Burlington railroad have been dis
charged since June 1st. During July
the greatest number of employees were
dismissed from the service, through no
fault of their own, but because bueinesR
would not further warrant their CON-
tinuauce.
wherever possible forces are being
reduced; section crews are being cut
down; train and engine men are given
service letters; chop and round houeo
men are being laid off, and clerks In the
various Offices are required to work ad.
ditional time. In fact, wherever posi-.
BILE salaries are being saved and forces
are being reduced. 1t is impossible to
say just where this wholesale decapita-
ton will end.'
But the Burlington is not alone in re-
ducing forces. 1t is pretty generally
thought that the Union Pacific will also
make another reduction in forces and
that the salaries may have to be cut II
the court can be brought to that way OF
thinking. With the abandonment Of so
many roads it has been imperatively
necessary that the company rctrench
still further, but just where to make the
cut ia puzzle for General Manager
Dickinson. He thoroughly recognizes
the Importance of cutting down ex-
penses, but somehow the heads OF the
department cannot exactly agree.

AS the Mexicans who profess any faith
