THE RANDSBURG PoSToFFICE
Long Beach Beats Santa Monica in
Postal Receipts

Postoffice Inspector M. H. Flint says
that Randsburg will be a presidential
office in about three months. The office
there is only one year old, and in that
year it has taken in S1700 worth of re-
ceipts. AS a postoffice only needs $1,000
in receipts a year to qualify, Mr.. Flint
feels that he is justified in feeling that
Randsburg will very shortly reach the
required status. Receipts there have
been climbing staedily and this last
month $591.46 has been received for box
rent and stamps alone.
The following figures are interesting
and significant as well, for they show
the comparative growth of the three
summer resorts as represented by the
postoffices in those places. In the three
months from July 1st to September S0th
1896, the Avalon postoffice made a show
ing Of S695.36; in the same period in 1897
the receipts were $S55,76, or an advance
of $16O4O
At Santa Monica from July 1st to Sep
tember 30th. 1896, the receipts were
$167S.91: in the same months this year
s1690.01, an advance of only $111O; while
at Long Beach from July 1st to Septem-
ber 30th, 1896, the receipts were $14S7.09;
ard in the same period this year they
were s162391, or an advance of $136.S2

A MEXICAN FIGHT
In Which One Paisano Has His Skull
Crushed In

Officer Arguello yesterday morning
arrested a Mexican named Jose Souvia
and locked him up on charge of assault
with deadly weapon. About a week
ago crowd of Mexcans were in the sa-
loon at Manhattan junction, the cross
ing of the Santa Fe and Terminal rail
roads, when a fight took place, in the
course of which Souvia hit another Mex
lean named Ramon Eros over the head
with a beer bottle, cutting the scalp
and fracturing the skull. AT the time it
was not thought that the manwas badly
hurt and no arrests were made. This
morning Arguello was told that the ply
scian in attendance had stated that
there was no chance for Eros recovery,
and promptly took Souvia into custody
He found his man in company with an
other Mexican hiding in the willows
along the river bank. Souvia was cap
tured, but his companion, who is also
wanted for participation in the fight
got away and has not yet been appre-
hended Souvia will be held without
bail to await the result Of Eros injuries.

TO CHANGE WARD LINES
Petition for the Addition of One Pre-.
cinct to the First Ward

A numerously signed petition was
filed in the city clerks office yesterday
asking that portion Of what is now the
Ninth ward be transferred to the First
ward. The petition comes from resi-
dents in the Sixty-fifth precinct That
portion of the precinct which they de-
sire to have placed in the First ward
which adjoins it, is bounded on the
north and west by the Mission road
and Alhambra avenue, on the south by
Wood street and on the east by Soto
street. The reason given for the de
sired change is that that portion of the
ward within the boundaries mentioned
is remote from the voting place of the
precinct, which is located at East First
and Chicago streets. Between the two
places is series of deep ravines and
steep hills, making it difficult for the
voters to reach the polls The council
is asked to change the ward boundaries
so that the portion of the Sixty-fifth
precinct may be added to the First ward
as an additional precinct.

Hit With a Rock

w. w. Robinson, for six years mayors
clerk, and, one Of the best known men
in the city, had a narrow escape from
serious injury Tuesday evening. He was
walking along Second street between
Hill and Olive, about 7 o'clock, when he
was struck on the side of the head by a
large rock thrown by some one unknown
to him. The ear was badly crushed,
and but for that organ acting as cush-
ion, Mr.. Robinson thinks that his skull
would have been fractured. Mr.. Rob-
inson says that man and woman were
in the yard when he was hit, and that
the man said that the rock must have
been thrown by some boys in the back

Ahon, pelnwnre oolIeru.

Tho newly,issued catalogue OF Dola-
ware College, for the college year 1867
is OF especial interest as containing tho
newly-adopted curriculum to go into
effect next autumn. The new cur
riculum offers to students seven courses
leading to degree, instead Of SIX as
heretofore. The new courss is called
the General Science Course. and the
degree dependent upon it is that of B.
s, This course is arranged for those
who desire a trimming based upon tho
study of science, history, and modern
language including tho English lun-
guage and literature, but do not desire
to study Latin or the branches offered
by ths courses in agriculture or en-
gineoring.
All the other courses have been ro.
vised, partly with the view to equai2-
irg the work of the several courses,
and, partly with the view to giving
elasticity to the curriculum by the in-
PRODUCTION OF elective studies. Tho
elective principle is restricted chiefly
to the junior and senior years, Mathe-
matics will hereafter be elective in the
classical course at the end of tho sopho-
more year. Special class instruction in
composition, hitherto restricted to the
| Freshman year, has now boen extended
through the sophomore year in all
courses aud in sumo through the Junior
year. English literature. hitherto
| raatrtpta1 IN annhnn,Ara baa
been made an elective study in the
junior and senior years of moat courses.
| The elective studies offered in tho en-.
gineering and the agricultural courses
include great variety of important
technical subjects.
4 noticeable change in the curriculum
is the largely improved opportunity
offered for the study OF modern lau-
guages. French, Spanish, Italian and
German are now offered. and the
uoursus in French and German are
especially elaborate. The library has
recently been enriched by the purchase
of valuable works in French and Ger
man. Entrance requirements at Della
ware College have peen considerably
raised since the last catalogue was
issued. This is especially true Of the
Classical and Latin Scientific courses.
Requirements as to English have been
raised, and this change applies to all
the courses save the one-term course in
agriculture. 1t is announced, further
more, that from and after the college
year 1S9s-9, candidates for admission
must give evidence of acquaintance
with Washington Irving's "Sketch
Book, :" Edgar Allen Poe's "Tales. y
Nathaniel Hawthorne's' g. Wonder Booi''
and "Mosses from an Old Manse, y and
the best known short poems of bryant,
Longfellow, Holmes and Whittier, to
gether with the chief events in the
lives of these authors.
The teaching force at Delaware Col
lege now includes faculty of ten mem
bers, and three instructors. The roster
of students bears n names. The
next college year opens Tuesday,
September 18th, 1897, and closes Wed
3 nesday, June 18th, 1898.
