ELECTRIC CAR ACCIDENT

Small Child Seriously hurt-lnsufficient Fender
the Cause
At o'clock yesterday evening electric
car No. on Second street ran over and
seriously injured the young child of d. j.
Cunningham. living at the corner OF Sec
ond and Alameda streets. The chilu had
been playing in the yard, ana unobserved
had wandered into the street. Two ladies
living block away saw the child start
across the street as the car approached.
They rushed to the rescue, but before they
could catch the baby the approaching car
had run over it.
A passenger made brave effort by
jumping from the moving car. but he was
too late. The motorman seems not to
have seen the child until within too short
distance to s,op his car. According to
the statement of one OF the employees OF
the road. the motorneer is a new man.
Several who witnessed the accident say
it might have been avoided il the motor
man had been watching aLead. Others
blame the company for not having a
fender on the car of sufficient size which
would have kept the child from bG6AS
thrown under the wheels.

ern Pacific railroad. was called and at
tended the little sufferer. The child S
right foot was badly crushed. .nocessitating
partial amputation. The lips were also
badly torn. and the forehead had deep
cash over the eye.
Late in the evening the little ono was
resting quietly, with good prospect OF re-
cuvery.

nominee within forty days after proof OF
her death. In 1889 Mrs. Brenner named
her daughter Rosa Haas as her nominee.
She died in June. 1894, in this city and
the necessary proof OF her death was Iur-

law which says that the balance of $4,000
shall be paid in order of deaths out of

LOS ANGELES REAL ESTATE
A Steady Increase in Dealings
in Land
BUILDING PERMITS ISSUED
The Five. Houses-a.Day Rate Somewhat
Accelerated
Home Building in City and Country-Ali the
Prospects Are Pleasing and the
Indications Promising

During the week ending Saturday night
there were issued from the Office of
Superintendent of Buildings Strange
forty-nine permits for the erection of
buildings ranging in cost from $26, 900 for
four story brick block to $lOo for a
dwelling. The proportion of dwellings
to other stru lures is remarkable, the
whole mum Der OF permits, with the excep-
ton Of three for stores and four for re-
movals, covering the erection of dwelling
houses. The buildings to-be are scat
tered all over the city, and so well dis
tributed that it beomes utterly impossible
to say what special locality is favored by
the builders OF elegant residences, or
what section has been decided upon by
poorer people in which to establish their
humble homes.
One feature is thoroughly manifest,
however. in the permits issued and the
building contracts filed with the county
recorder. and that is the relation between
cost OF lot and value of proposed building.
Occasionally a pretentious and expensive
home. is to be constructed upon a COM
paIatively cheap lot but almost invari-
ably in those cases the owner of such
lot is building IL big and elegant house
with the expectation of increasing the
inducing people of means to buy lot
near by and follow his own example by
building a good house. There is also
considerable activity shown in the con-
struction of flats and tenement houses,
and some men OF means still see q pros
pective profit in the erection ot houses of
moderate cost for the purpose of renting
them. But the great bulk OF buildings
now in process of construction or for
which permits have been issued are to be
occupied as homes by the people who are
building them.
They are built according to the ideas of
the owners. and of the more or less COM
petent architects they employ. for the
special purposes and desires of the own
ers, and not put up for speculation, and
may therefore be taken to guarantee not
only large increase OF population but an
increase made up of the very best class
of people-industrious and me-loving
people of moderate means. whose resi-
dence in the City of Angels means an
increase OF business in the community
nd steady growth of that local pride
which has already made Los Angeles the
onder of the west and the pride of all
Americans.
The permits issued by the superintend-
ent of buildings have been published in
the Herald from day to day. and need
not here be repeated. But it may be of
interest to refer.sto certain uncontracted
work which is under way and in a more
or less advanced stage OF negotiation, as
set forth by the Builder and Contractor:

In the County

During the week there were filed for
record with the county recorder 30S Deeds
the total expressed consideration aggre-
eating SAT-, 505. The number of deeds
filed represents very accurately the total
number of transfers in the county, but
the amount of consideration EXPRESSED
doesn't represent much of anything, be-
cause during the week there were one or
two transac lions which represented an
amount OF money as large or larger than
the whole amount OF the weeks real re-
ported business 1t is very certain, how
ever, that the real estate business is i'm
proving rather than otherwise, and it is
also evident that lands in the country, as
in the city, are selling for use. occupa-
tion and improvement. and not r spec l.
lation. A fair sample of this tendency is
shown in a report from the Citizens In
vestment company. real estate men who
deal in all sorts of land. During the
week they sold two two and one half acre
lots on Stevenson avenue. one for $500,
the other for $1,000. both to be improved
soon; lot and seven-room house on
West Thirtieth street, price 5000, to
Mrs. Hattie NJ. Williams. to be occupied; /;
in the Val Verde tract eight acres to W.
winfield, ten acres to Oscar Seine. five
and one-half acres to Il. l.. Gregory and
twelve and one-half acres to G. III. Deuel.,
all to be occupied and improved. Thus
out of the six transactions not one was
for speculation. and every one was for
immediate occupation. Other dealers re-
port the same decided tendency to buy
places for homes for men who expect to
do business. or country places upon which
living is to be made.
1t is not easy to say what development
is going in on the country without visiting
each isolated little farm. But the era Of
buying far ing Land. or even fruit land
for speculation seems distinctly to have
stricted to the trading in lands which
have been improved by the planting of
trees or otherwise. between transfers. One
of the most trustworthy indications of
country progress is the report of the deal
ers in agricultural implements. Judging

area of the park. something over 5000
acres are forest and about 1000 acres open
farms. A central driveway, connect
ing the Chickamauga and Chatham
ooga ends of the park, and passing
through and overlooking all the heavy
fighting ground. has been built, twenty
miles long. Forty-two miles of the roads
of the battles have been reopeued and I'M
proved in the most substantial and cndur-
ing manner. and new roads having nothing
to do with the battles have been closed up
Many of the minor roads have also teen
cut and graded, so that there are now
about sixty miles of driveways in the park

clearing out of the new growth OF timber
can drive through it in all directions, and
the appearance now is like that of an i'm

The Historical Tablets.
Within the park the government has set
up 400 historical tablets and will set up
come 1,600 more hereafter each three by
four feet, consisting of cast-iron plates,
glazed black. fastened to iron posts set in
concrete. On these tablets. in embossed
white letters. are set forth briefly and i'm
partially the historic details of the six
battles-Chickamauea. Missionary Ridge,
Lookout Mountain. Orchard Knob. Wau-
hatchie and Browns Ferry. They also mark
the positions of army headquarters corps.
divisions and brigades, both Union and con-
federate and the parts borne By each or
ganization are concisely stated, without
censure and without praise.
Besides these tablets, the government has
erected nine handsome granite monuments,
all different, one for each of the organiza-
tons of regular army troops engaged in
the battles. 1t has also built eight pyra-
midal monuments of novel design, each ten
feet high, constructed of S-inch shells, in
honor of four Union officers and four con-
