PASADENA, Jan. 20.-The city council
met this afternoon in regular session,
with President Cox in the chair and
Trustees Washburn and Hamilton
present.
Only routine business was tran
sacted, and the session was an unusu-
ally short one.
The ordinance changing the grade of
Oakland avenue from Colorado street
to Eldorado was adopted; also a simi-
lar ordinance changing the gaade of
Terrace drive from Elevado to Grove
street.

pared by the committee to whom the
matter was referred. The benefits were
assessed at $5,44423 and the damages
at $5,34822. President Cox stated the
cost of the improvement would be
about 63 cents per running foot. Mr.
Buchanan stated that the difference
between the cost of putting all the
sidewalks at grade and leaving them as
would be about $500, SO they had in
cluded in the report putting them all
at the proper grade. This report did
not include the changing of the NJ E.
church corner to the line of the street.

The Murderer of Mariana cuero is Under
Arrest
SANTA ANA, Jan. 20.-G. G. Southern
was today arrested by Sheriff Nichols
of this county in Los Angeles for the
murder of Mariana Cuero here on the
night of October IL, 1898. The case is
a notable one, which the officers have
been working on, ever since the crime
was committed. Sheriff Nichols stated
tonight that he was confident he had
the right party and that when the
proper time came he would bring out
convicting evidence. The arrest by the
sheriff in Los Angeles was made
through the assistance given him by
two residents of st. Louis, who we're
incidentally in this city on the night OF
the crime and who CHANGED to be eye
witnesses of the deed. Southern is
we'll known here, having lived in this
county on farm for several years.

Are Anxious to Find Where
They Are At
SUPERVISORS CAN'T TELL
The Courts Must Decide the Trouble
some Question
Complications and Combinations are Re.
ported Which May Leave the City in
Darkness for Some Time

SAN BERNARDINo, Jan. 20.-The board
Of supervisors spent large part of the
time in today's session getting them
selves located on the horticultural
commission matters, and after an
hours discussion, during which the
law Of the case was stated by District
Attorney Daley, in SO far as that was
possible, the members found that it
was necessary to go to court before
they could get an authoritative state
msnt of the position they do really oc-
cupy. Meanwhile, two separate and
distinct horticultural commissions are
doing business in two different offices
in the court house, and it depends on
the decision OF the court whether one
commission and the inspectors it ap-
points will get any pay for the work
they are doing.
Mr.. Daley indicated to the board the
two weak points in its case, and also
called attention to the fact that in both
of these matters the supervisors had
gone counter to his advice, and the
members wers frank enough to ad-
nit it.
When it was proposed to make the
change from three members to one
member, resolution was introduced
to the effect that the membership OF
the commission ''be reduced" to one.
Mr.. Daley advised that the word ire
duced" be left out and the one man
commission be ordered, Independent
Of any which had been in existence.
But the board reduced" it.
Then when it came to an election,
the board elected Mr.. Pease to fill Mr..
Collins unexpired term, when the ad-
vice had been that it would be better
to elect him independent of any unex-
pired term. By both of these acts the
board recognized the existence of the
former board of horticulture, and at
torneys say there is no law which pro-
vides for reducing its membership.
The distinction is that new commits
sion may be created with only one
