ASTRONOMICAL SECTION
Meeting Last Night-Papers on Tele-
scopes and Optical Glasses

The astronomical section of the acad-
emy of sciences held its regular monthly
meeting last evening a. the residence ol
| John d Hooker, on West Adams street
with the usual membership present.
! B. r. Baumgardt, chairman of the sec
ton, read two extremely important and
valuable papers, which he supplemented
with mathematical demonstrations on
the blackboard. The Telescope Consid-
cred Historically and Practically" was
the subject of the first paper, which was
written by W. r. Warner of Cleveland.
Ohio: optical Glass was the subject
of the second paper, written by John A.
Brashear of Allegheny. Pa.
The authors of both these papers are
world renowned in their respective
fields, and both papers. which We're read
three weeks ago before the American
Society of American Engineers in New
York. We're lent the astronomical section
to be read for the benefit of the members
of the section at last nights meeting.
In his mathematical demonstration,
Mr. Baumgardt explained all the princi-
pies of the telescope, the relationship of
light gathering power, and the diam
eter of detectives. The relationship of
focal lengths to the diameter of the OBJ
ject glass: the true ratios between eye
pieces and the diameter of objectives.
Mr.. Baumgardt then explained the
cause of chromatic and spherical aber-
ration, and gave the history of Dolland's
great discovery to overcome these de-
fects in refractors. The equatorial
mounting, with its polar axis parallel to
the earth's axis: it's declination circle at
right angles with the optical axis; and
the right ascension circle parallel with

planned at length by the speaker, and
the evening proved one of extreme inter

THIEVES SENTENCED
Two Get Six Months and Two Others
Lighter Penalties

Ed Miller and William johnson, who
pleaded guilty to a charge of petty lar
ceny in Justice Murrison's court several
days ago, We're sentenced yesterday to
six months imprisonment in the city
Jail, with the usual chain gang attach
ment. The two men were arrested last
month for stealing 500 in money and lot
Of clothing from a room in the New
England lodging house. The crime was
really that of burglary, but for some
reason they We're simply booked on the
misdemeanor charge. Knowing that tbs
police were in possession Of sufficient
evidence to convict them of the felony
charge and fearing that the charge
would he amended, the two men en-
braced the first opportunity to plead
guilty.
Trinidad Burreil and Rafael Corona,
who We're found guilty of petty larceny
several days ago, were sentenced yes
terday. The first mentioned was fined
$50 or GO days imprisonment; while fine
of $50 CT 80 days In Jail was the latter's
portion. Their offense was the theft of
the running gear Of a wagon, from
which the bed had been removed.

M'CURDY'S DEATH
He Had a Daughter Once Who Was
Murdered at Cotton

George w. McCurdy, the inmate of the
Soldiers home who was killed by Santa
Monica electric car on Sunday night
near the national institution, will be
recollected in Los Angeles by old timers
as a veterinary surgeon who had an Of
flee on South Main street. between Sec
ond and Third for a number of years
McCurdy had a daughter named Mag
gle who had been seduced by a dope fiend
named Billy Mcdowell. He used to work
for Ferguson & Roses livery stable as q
hack driver in 1888. When Mcdowell
tired of the woman he took her to San
Bernardino county and murdered her
by mashng her head with rock in a
ravine just south of Cotton. For this
crime he was tried and sentenced to be
hanged, but he escaped from the San
Bernardino Jail just couple of days be-
fore the execution. Not long afterwarti
he was recaptured by George e. Gard,
then sheriff of this county, in a Shanty
at Wilmington as he was trying to make
his escape on a deep water vessel. Nc
Dowell was hanged in the San Bernar-
dino Jail in the latter part of 1898, and
among the witnesses who saw him
turned off was George McCurdy, the
father of the young woman, who has
now, too, met violent death.

LOST HIS PROPERTY
Because It Had Been Sold for State and
County Taxes

The supreme court has affirmed the
Judgment of Superior Judge York in the
case of William Hayes against P. l.
Ducasse, appealed by the defendant
Plaintiff claimed through one Campbell
who purchased the property of Ducasse
at a delinquent state and county tax
sale in 1894. No evidence was offered al
the trial before Judge York by the de-
fendant, who relied upon his objections
to the sufficiency of the tax collector 5
deed
The only question that came up for the
consideration of the supreme court was
whether or not the tax deed was void
on it's face. The court held that the sale
was conducted in the manner prescribed
by law and the policy of dispensing with
details of evidentiary matter in such
deeds upheld.
The amount of taxes due originally
was less than S25, while the property
which the defendant Ducasse loses is
said to be worth several thousand dol
lars.

CASE OF HYDROPHOBIA
THE FEARFUL FATE OF LITTLE
LUCY oLIvERA
Three Weeks Ago She Was Bitten by a
Dog in Santa Monica and Died
Yesterday

What seems to have been a case of
genuine hydrophobia caused the death
Of Lucy Olivera, a little, 6-year-old
Spanish girl, at Santa Monica yesterday
about noon. Lucy was the daughter OF
A. Olivera, a poor Spaniard, residing in
South Santa Monica, who, as is the Gus
tom of every Spapiard, considered a
dog one of his necessary possessions.
A little over three weeks ago Olivera
discovered that his dog was afflicted
with swapping" disease, then becom-
ing epidemic among dogs. Accordingly
the animal was tied up, pending develop
ments On January 10, as Lucy passed
by where he was chained, he made a
vicious lunge at her. jumping with such
force as to slip the collar over his head.
Then the serious nature of the beast S
malady asserted itself, for the child's
old playfellow jumped at her throat and
buried his long teeth in the tender flesh.
Loosening his hold, he bit and tore the
face until past recognition. The childs
frantic screams attracted the attention
of Charles Fleschert who beat the dog
off and in company with several others,
cnaSeu the animal TO tlle NoluiSis iioiiS'
where five bullets put an end TO its life
However, during the chase the animal
bit several dogs which it met on the
way, and that fact causes much anxiety
to other dog owners.
DR.. P. S. Lindsey dressed the child's
wounds and has watched the case with
unusual interest. For nearly three
weeks the little patient improved, and
the attending physician pronounced her
out of danger, unless the dog was af-
flicted with rabies.
Monday morning DR.. Lindsey was sent
for in haste and found the child in
spasms. The night before the first symp-
toms had appeared in the nature of ex-
treme dryness and construction of the
throat, having an intense longing for
water, but going into spasms at the
sight of a glass of it. That state con-
tinued throughout the day. and yester-
day morning an excessive flow of saliva
appeared, giving an appearance OF
frothing at the mouth.
At 11:45 the child died, in a state of
total collapse.
DR.. Lindsey, upon being interviewed
by Herald reporter, pronounced 1t a
case of genuine hydrophobia.
