BACK FOR EXAMINATION.
A Mexican Murderer Being Taken to the
90 Scene of His Crime.

Deputy Sheriff F. H. Robinson ar
rived in the city last evening from San
Diego, having in custody Joaquin Fuen-
ties, whom he is taking to the little town
Of Hedges, in San Diego county, where
the Golden Cross mine is situated, to an
swer for the murder of Bernardino Con-
treres, on August 18th last. Fuentes cut
out the entrails Of Contreres with a
butcher knife on the date named and was
ARRESTED on a coroNer's warrant. AS
there was no Justice Of the peace at
Hedges before whom he could be ex-
amined, he was taken to San Diego for
safe keeping. .-,''
Since that time Justice has been
qualified at the scene of the killing and
F'uentes is now being taken back for ex-
animation. 1t is necessary to come by
way of Los Angeles as otherwise the
whole length Of San Diego county would
have to be traversed by horseback or
wagon. 1t is not impossible that Fuentes
will never come back from Hedges as the.
feeling there against him is very strong.
A lynching was narrowly averted when
he was arrested and when the minds of
the populace are inflamed by hearing
the revolving details of the crime re-
counted on the witness stand they may
wreak summary justice on the prisoner
Fuentes was locked up in the city Jail
over night.

! At THE THEATERS +;
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

LOS ANGELES THEATER-It's safe
to say that no audience at this theater
laughed more uproariously this season
than did the large assembly gathered
there last night. The play, On the Bow
cry. is much in the nature of an irrides-
cent dream when the question of dra-
matte unity is considered, but withal 1t
serves as a medium for presenting in a
realistic and clamorous way sights and
scenes on the Bowery. They will readily
be recognized by all Gothamites who are
familiar with that famous purlieu, where
Harry Hill, Bill McGlory, Beefsteak
John and old Sandy" Spencer. in his
basement saloon, were the typical pre-
decessors of Steve Brodie. The saloon
scene is wonderfully true to life and has
all the merit of realism. The bridge
scene is most clever bit of stage illu-
sion, in which the perspective presented
is an artistic marvel.
Mr.. Brodie, in the role Of Steve Brodie,
the hero Of the Bowery, demonstrated
that he is thoroughly in line with mod
ern stage methods. Mr.. Brodie belongs
to the impressionist school of acting.
He made no garish display of eruditiOn,
but handled the pungent bon mots
which are so characteristic of the Bow
cry in the vernacuar of his habitat. He
is most forceful when gesturing, and
when he gestures toward the villain that
actor was crushed by the Delsartean i'm
pact, just as surely as though load of
bricks had dropped on him like the gen.
tie rain from heaven. Mr.. Brodie's meth
DDS differ from those of Irving and
Mansfield as to q subtle appreciation of
retrospective stage ethics, but he is
more practically real than his conferees.
and when his arm is appraised to defend
the right from wrong 1t has all the po-
tentiality of an ak in the hand Of Cy-
ciops. or the tender grace Of the kick of
a sad-eyed mule.
There are some clever character act
ors supporting Mr.. Brodie, and they do
their work well. The performance as a
picture OF certain phases of life in New
York, and this is all it Is pretended to
be- is one that is worthy Of seeing. There
can be no question but what On the
Bowery will draw crowded houses all
week, and that the great bridge jumper
and his versatile company will vastly
entertain and edify them.
BURBANK THEATER-Tonigh sees
an entire change of bill at the Burbank,
another very successful comedy being
presented. For the first time this season
will be given that famous American COM
edy, Our Boarding House, with the au-
thor In his original role of Col. M. T.
Elevator, and Mr.. Leonard Grover, jr.,
as Professor Gillipod.
ORPHEUM-The strong bill Of at
fractions, ON the boards this week drew
another crowded house last night. This
promises to be the banner week with
this popular vaudeville theater.

is charged with the murder of Mrs. John
Q. Greenwood, here in FEBRUARY, 1891.

Moore, but County Treasurer George
Gardner, who knew Moore quite WE'LL
unhesitatingly pronounced him to be

A FRONT PORCH CONTRADIC
TON

Mr.. Mckinley, in one of his front porch
speeches delivered to adrniring pilgrims
on Wednesday last. again demonstrated
his inability to discuss the money ques-
ton, either logically or intelligently
Among other things he said:
You will remember that from 1862 to
1879 we did business with paper money
exclusively; as we had no gold nor sill
yer. And you will remember that gold
was constantly at a premium, ranging
from 40 to 100 per cent
The front porch candidate is in the
habit of contradicting himself in his
harangues to shouting pilgrims. but
never has he more pointedly done so
than in this instance. He first says that
during certain period we used
paper money exclusively, owing to
the entire absence of gold and
silver. He then declares that
gold was constantly at high premium
money could reach a premium when
there was none Of 1t to be had, it would
probably puzzle the special privilege
candidate to explain. AS his two state
ments stand they are about as clear as
Ohio mud. But this little break of Mark
Hanna's aspirant for the presidency is
Of no consequence EXCEPT as another
proof of his incapacity for discussing
the subject of finance from any stand
point. Perhaps that is why Hanna
keeps him at home.
The fact is, McKinley's heart and
mind are notsvery much saturated with
the gold standard philosophy He ac-
cepted'tthes goldsstandats from his boss
as conditio6 II receiving the nominal
ton. To h<come the nominee Of the st.
Louis convention. was the honor for
which he longed. He knew that the con-
vention would endorse protectionism, and
SO long as that was done he cared but
little what other national issues were
either adopted or rejected. Had his
party declared for free silver instead Of
an exclusive gold standard, he would
doubtless have been Just as eager to ac-
cept the nomination. However. should
he be elected. he will do his best to pay
The herald., 1896-09-25

This from the Philadelphia Record
doubtless explains the principle on
which some of the honest and intelligent
folk Of the east intend to vote for the
gold standard:
II don't suppose there is more than
one man in ten in Bucks county who un-
derstands this 16-to-1 business" said q
Chestnut street jeweler. "A farmer
from up that way came into my store
today and wanted a gold watch made
to order. He was typical hayseed. He
carried carpet-bag, wore store clothes
and an old-fashioned straw hat, and yet
he seemed to be a man of more than
average intelligence in his way. I want
you to make me a watch of 1S-carat

ounces told him that the cost would
depend in a great measure upon the
movement 1 put in it. oh, never mind
about that, he said, you can put in any
old works. What l want most Is the
gold. You see, when this silver law
passes. and it is bound to pass, we'll get
sixteen silver dollars for every one in
gold. Now, I've got two IS gold pieces

ALL MIGHT BE CLOSED WITH AID
VANTAGE

The Chicago Stock exchange still re-
mains closed to business. 1t has not
been opened since the collapse of the
great Moore speculation more than a
month ago. No one in Chicago or any,
where else is suffering in consequences;
and the question arises, why is this not O
good example for the managers of stock
exchanges elsewhere to follow? 1t is al
together fiction that stock exchanges
are a necessity for the conduct of bust.
ness in these days. If all the stock ex-
changes in the country would follow the
example of that in Chicago and cloee
their doors indefinitely 1t is safe to say
that no, more suffering would be entailed
upon the public than Chicago has beer
called upon to endure in this case.-Bos-

FREE SILvER'S HARBINGER
ITO err Is human" The truth Of this
phrase has been SO universally accepted
that we too frequently lose sight Of it
in weighing the estimates Of others. This
may seem somewhat ,paradoxical. but
there is every evidence Of the fact. new

elusive. without any allowance for the
element Of human frailty. When the
test of actually Is applied, the discrep-
ancy is often SO striking and grotesque
as to appeal to our sense Of htmer. The
latest case In point is the view which
many financial authorities took a
few weeks q ago of the effect
which the agitation Of the silver
question was going to have on
business. The contrast between what
they said then and their comments on
the actual conditions of today is ludic-
rous. tti

A CREASED SLIDE

When our city council have any har-
Dor resolutions from the Southern
Pacific railroad of Kentucky, or any of
Fred Woods or General Sherman's
blockading games to keep out any city
railroads from getting a reasonable
route into town, they bring in the
creased slide. The resolution then goes
through so fast that no one can tell who
voted for it or how it happened. In Sher-
mans last political railroad resolution
no one appears to know who introduced
the CREASED slide" nor the resolution.
The city clerk knows nothing about it
and If he does not, who does? The pa
triots in the council are running for diff
ferent offices. The Herald has quite a
list Of such ambitious ones. The people
are very likely to inquire whether the
CREASED slide is to go with the candi-
date. The people of Los Angeles need
men who know what they are voting
about and who do not allow an import
ant matter to slip through on their blind
side.
This last electric franchise extension
was an important matter. 1t was rank
proceeding to extend its time limit and
lnQlCtfJeS tndt the eleCtTlC TOdu mas gone
beyond advising" its men politically
and taken to advising" the council. The
franchise on Hill and Sixteenth streets
was applied for by the agent Of the
Traction company. That company was
then ready to proceed at once to build it.
The application was recognized every
where to be bona fide. An agent of the
other electric company bought the fran
chise over the head of the applicants and
was confirmed in it by the council with
out evidence that the opposition would
build. Sherman did not build. That
much work and that much circulation
of money in these hard times was de-
liberately kept out of Los Angeles. When
after the full evidence of the bluffs after
the blockade game had been completed
and finally unmasked by the franchises
having been allowed to lapse without
using, then to see the CREASED slide"
brought into the council to perpetuate
this great wrong to the community is
too much to be tolerated. If these gen.
tlemen in the council are afraid Of the
great corporation vote advisers on
franchise action they may after q while
realize the power Of another sort Of fran
