PASADENA, Oct. 19.--(Regular Corre-
spondence.) The members of the city
council, together with Superintendent of
Streets Buchanan visited the Simons brick
yard today and made an official inveSti-
cation of the alleged nuisance which the
prick kiln is accused of being. The result is
pretty sure to be that the Simons Bros.
will continue to conduct the business which
they have successfully conducted for a
decade. A full report will be made by the
visitors to the yards later The complaint
was first made by c. H. Rhodes on October
9Th at the council meeting. Mr.. Rhodes
then appeared in person. At yesterday S
meeting a written complaint and protest,
together with a petition for a prohibitive
ordinance, was handed in and referred to
the street and alley committee and the
city attorney.
BREvITIES
Mrs. S. H. Porter of Pepper street had
her face and hands somewhat burned last
night in putting out a fire. Mrs Porter
was going to bed and while trying to set
the lamp down upon the table missed it
and instead dropped the lamp upon the
floor. The lamp was not glass and so did
not break. The oil ran out on the floor
and caught fire Some of the oil got TO
the bed clothes and the conflagration
spread over them. Mrs. Porter threw the
lamp out of the window and put the flames
out by fighting them with her hands.
The golf links to be used by the Country
club, recently organized, were laid out this
morning over the Oak knoll southeast of
town. The club is preparing for active
business. A meeting will shortly be held
and several items of business interest to

links will be very pretty as the grounds
are dotted with live oaks and overlook the
San Gabriel mission and surrounding coun-
try, including Wilson's lake.

with which the party went down town
and enjoyed themselves.
