The City Charter Remains the
Same as Ever
THE VOTE is ALL ONE WAY
A Quiet Election and a Very Few
Ballots Cast
The Usual Election Features Were Lacking
Keeping Tab In the City Hall.
The Figures

Old "Vox Populi" was decidedly
against the charter amendments. This
fact came out when the votes were count
ed last night. 1t was surmised long be-
fore the figures were known that the peo-
pie had spoken in no uncertain way, and
the figures, 1852 against and 1876 for, only
confirmed the surmses.
The vote was very light and the election
very quiet. No crowds gathered around
the polling places; there was total lack
of all the usual features of an election,
and the enthusiasm ranged at about zero
all day.
In the City Hail. where the voters of
Precinct B of the Third Ward came to
vote some of the habitues of the place
kept tab on the vote for while by going
up above and looking down into the
booths while the voters were stamping
their ballots but even this became tire
some and was given up when it became
apparent that the amendments would re-
ceive only about one-quarter of the votes.
By O'Clock the returns had been gath
cred in at the City Hall and the result

that the proposition of G. W. Burdick to
lease an engine-house site in the vicinity
of Union avenue, Eleventh and Pico

Mr.. Burdick had rugged up scheme
which looked very innocent on its face,
but it was very much like the prob
lem where the blacksmith charged a pen
ny for driving the first nail, two pennies
for the second, and SO on.
Another protest against the proposed
change of the grade of Whittier street has
been sent to the Council. The petition is
signed numerously.
A number of those who signed the petit
ton to the Council asking for the grading
of Key West street, have withdrawn their
names from the petition.

planning a run to Pasadena on Sunday.

ing, but that the pace shall be set to suit
the slowest rider in the crowd.
At Pasadena dinner will be taken at the
Balmoral Hotel, and after a spin around
the beautiful avenues of the Crown of the
Valley, the party will return to this CITY,
The start will be made promptly at $3.50

On Monday, Aug 81 last, one of the

The cash was not more than half an
inch in circumference. The wound bled
freely for a few minutes, but by the
time he walked 400 yards to the drug
store it had cea1ed to bleed. The cut
was a smooth one, and as there was not
the least sign Of tho presence Of any for
eign substance beneath the skin the pa
tient was dismissed with simple To-
ton with which to bathe the wound
occasionally.
A few days ago lump appeared on
the skin two inches below the point
first injured, and the attending physi-
clan lanced it. This seemed to relieve
him, but last Saturday he began to re-
alize that there was a hard substance
just under the skin Immediately over
his windpipe, and today he came to Drs.
Hedra and Hewson and told them there
was something III his neck They made
an incision and found piece Of metal,
but being uncertain as to its shape they
stopped to ask the patient to describe

not give them an accurate description,
but TO just stop the bleeding minute,

ter of mile, and returned in 20 min

"Witndraw 1t then" exclaimed Har-

Mitchell showed intense irritation
at this defiance and raising his voice he
said to Harris. "The action of the
