Fruitless Efforts to Apprehend Criminals.
Chinese New Year
VENTURA, Feb. 7.-Detective Auble
of Los Angeles came up to Ventura last
Sunday looking for the murderers of
week ago. Sheriff Charlebois had un-
der arrest two colored men taken in on
suspicion but Detective Auble said they
were not the men wanted.
Chinese new year commenced Mon
day with the usual firecracker serenade.
The rain interfered somewhat with the
festivities. Chinese new year is not a
bad thing, for it generally rains. The
hard times affect the Chinese as we'll as
the Americans. The celebra ton this
year will not be on a large scale, as one
Chinese boy remarked to us: "No hab

A bill posters war is on here The reg

to the legality or propriety of a mill
tary company engaging in the business
of bill posting.

Gas Power Electric Ltyntjry

There has been constructed al Leyton
England, an electric lighting station
driven by gas engines upon the plans of
Prof. Henry Robinson. The gas, engines
are supplied with semf-water gas made
from anthracite in Dowson gas produce
ers. The details of the installation are
worth recapitulation as suggestive of
what may be accomplished, with this type
of station. The producer house con-
tainss two producers, each capable of
supplying all the gas expected to be re-
quired at the outset; and there is room
FOR third. Two small vertical boilers
are provided to generate steam fyr the
forced draught jets of the producers,
each boiler being capable of serving the
two producers. The gas is washed and
scrubbed with coke and sawdust, and
there is a holder twenty feet by ten feet
to equalize the gas production as well
as to provide storage for running the en-
gine for short period. The towns gas
is la1d on to the engines in case the Dow
son gas should fall off In quality with a
light load. The engines (two in num-
Der, to start with) are of fifty-five horse
power nominal. The gas passes from
the holder in nine-nch cast iron mains
with flve-inch branches to the engines.
The air supply to each engine is drawn
through tivc-inch pipe through a si-
lencing box outside the engine house.
The exhaust passes through siX-inch
pipe into a twelve-inch main which dis
charges into an underground silencing
box filled with stones, and having YER
teal outlet pipe twelve inches in diam
eter extending above the engine house
roof, with an arrangement of battle
plates at the top. The gas producer
house Is forty-siX feet long and eighteen
feet wide, and the engine house is sixty
feet long and thirty y-seven feet, six inch
es wide. A test of the gas producing
and power plant was made on October
g. and though full load was not put on
the consumption Of fuel compared IA
vorabNy with the performance of steam
plants using the most efficient boilers
and high-pressure compound condens-
ing engines of large power.-Boston

Trcnt To the Girls.

The girls of the De Long Industrial school
were given very pleasant surprise yester-
day afternoon. The children met at 2:3O, as
usual, and began the singing and devotional
exercises. They had not proceeded far when
Prof. Hisey. superintendent of the public
schools, arrived with his phonograph. He
gave the children very plain and interesting
talk about the phonograph, and then repro
duced a variety OF selections from records
he had with him. The instrument Prof.
Hisey used was the one he took with him to
the teachers convention at Des Moines last
week, where he gave a practical Illustration
OF some Of his methods of teaching At
the close of the little concert some folding
doors separating the main hall from a rear
room were opened and the children invited
to step in. They were agreeably surprised
to find four long tables, spread with an
abundance of good things There was ample
room for all, and it is needless to say that
justice was done to the feast. Rev. Henry
De Long and wife have planned a large
number of surprises for the children in the
past, and by this means have brought sun
shine to many little lives.

cost of the repairs amounted to about $500

structure were replaced, new caissons were
put in, all the old piling was replaced and
the bridge is now one of the safest in the
