A CampaigR Of Fraud.

Allegheny Record
Events in State politics have shaped
themselves sufficiently to enable the
people OF Pennsylvania to understand
the forces ut work and the nature q the
contest TO be decided next election day.
Just now Mr.. john Wanamaker, the
Philadelphia department. store owner
occupies the center o. the stage His
voice is heard telling The voters that he
is necessary TO the States salvation,
word on word, painting fearful pic
ture of the devastation and mOrai ruin
wrought by Matthew Stanley Quay.
Nc. Wanamaker may be an honest
man, but long before June he VIII

He comes carrying aloft a banner cf
alleged high purpose, but behind him
are ranged men who recognize in pub

They carry daggers to balance the Bible
in Mr.. Wanamaker's hands. They run
the ward conventions and manipulate

litical purity" cry aloud in public places
for bis election, privately they are en-
deavoring to negotiate with SenatOF
Quay a compromise, by which they can
select the next governor in return f0s
support of Mr.. Quay's fight for re-elee

AN EXCITED CROWD
EAGER READERS SURROUND THE
HERALD BULLETINS
Policemen Necessary to Keep the Side
walk Clear for Pedestrians-The
War Feeling Intense

The bulletin service of The Herald was
resumed again early yesterday morning,
and thousands of men, women and children
learned the very latest news from WASH
ington and Madrid as fast as it came In
over the wires throughout the day. by
means of the bulletins posted in the win
dows of The Herald office on Broadway
and at the many branch offices throughout
Los Angeles.
The excitement Of the multitude that
crowded Broadway, waiting eagerly for
the latest news reached fever heat at
few minutes after o'clock, when The Her.
aid extra made its appearance with the fuii
Associated Press dispatches up to that
hour as we'll as many special kilograms
and cable messages bearing on the war
situation.
There was a wild rush for the edition.
Without giving up their places IN the front
ranks of the excited crowd, that surged to
and fro, men and women eagerly bought
the first copies of the extra and stood read
ing aloud the dispatches to their less for
tunate neighbors in the throng.
When it became known that Spain had
not yet consented to an armstice in CUBA
and that she would not allow the Amerl-
cans to continue to feed the starving Gu
bans, there arose a prolonged murmur OF
disapproval of the course pursued by the
present administration. All were loud in
their denunciation of Spanish cruelty
Many argued that war should be declared
against Spain at once. Some OF the crowd
in their arguments still supported the
policy pursued by President Mckinley, but
the majority throughout the day showed
a very marked disapproval of his policy of
temporizing.
Up and down the principal thoroughfares,
where The Herald extras were sold little
knots of excited men gathered on the street
corners to discuss the situation. Every
thing, even the important details of BUSH
ness, was neglected and forgotten, while
merchants, bankers, clerks, office attend
ants, laborers, mechanics, cab drivers and
tourists read the dispatches and discus
sed the proba bility of war with Spain.
Many were the complimentary remarks
on the enterprise of The Herald in being
first to make known the important news of
the day by means of it's bulletins and the
9 o'clock extra. There was no lack of
patriotism to be seen in the eager faces
or to be heard in the conversation of the
street corner crowds. About noon the crush
in front of The Herald office had grown to
an alarming extent, threatening to block
up that portion of Broadway. Notices
were posted in the windows informing the
turbulent mass of humanity that the police
department requested that the people who
gathered to read the bulletins should not
obstruct the pavement Officer Conely,
whose beat is on Broadway, was then in-
structed from police headquarters to keep
the passageway and pavement clear, and
not allow the crowd to delay or prevent the
traffic along that portion of Broadway.

Holloway Wants Big Damages for
Foot and Big Toe

The suit of George Holloway against
the Pasadena and Pacific Railway COM
pany for $50, 345 damages Is on trial in De-
partment four of the superior court before
Judge Van Dyke and jury
Holloway on the 25th of November
boarded car 60 of the company at Pasa
dena on his way to Santa Monica with an
excursion, after having purchased a re-
turn ticket. Owing to its crowded con-
dition upon the home trip, he says. he
was obliged to sit on the floor with his
feet on the outside step. Near Rosedae
cemetery, while upon curve. he was
thrown off the car by jerk in such an un-
fortunate manner that the wheels of the
car passed over both his feet. One of
them had to be amputated and the big toe
of the other foot suffered similar treat
ment. The plaintiff had to pay $3.50 for med
ical attendance and s95 for nurse For the
injuries received he demanded $4,000.
The Pasadena and Pacific Railway COM
pany, on the other hand, claims that a
special car had been provided for the
Pasadena excursIonists. which was to
leave at stated time, but that Holloway
was impatient to get away little sooner,
and preferred to be uncomfortable In a
crowded car, instead of awaiting the de-
parture of the other one, in which there
was ample room The defendant further
alleges that he had secured a seat in car
60. but gave 1t up to another passenger
for the purpose of taking seat on the
floor. and that if he had used his hands
and his feet while SO seated he would not
have fallen off.
Witnesses for the plaintiff testified as to
what they saw of the accident which
seems to have been the result of Jolt
while the car was running very fast.

DANGEROUS STREET CROSSING
An Accident Which Nearly Entailed
Fatal Results

Owing to the condition of the street in
tersection at Ninth and Alameda streets
Mrs. l.. Bush of Ill East Pico street had a
narrow escape from being killed last night
AS Mrs. Bush and her husband and two
friends by the name of Hart were driving
along East Ninth street the wagon struck
a deep gutter running right across the road
at Alameda street The sudden DIP and
conclusion with the sides of the excava-
ton, which is fully fourteen inches deep
and lined with rock, caused the wagon to
bound into the air, throwing Mr.. Hart and
his wife on to the wagon tongue and Mrs.
Bush entirely out of the vehicle on to the
ground. the wheels passing over her body.
She has not been in good health for some
days, and the shock acted very seriously
on her nervous system. She was picked up
and carried into S. N. Bells residence, at
1920 East Ninth street, and doctor was
soon in attendance. The extent of her in
juries, which are internal, is not known
yet, but it is probable that the accident
will necessitate her laying up for several
days. This crossing is said to have been
the cause of four accidents in the last ten
days.

ALASKA TRADE
A Proposition to Bring Portion of It
to This City


A proposition has been submitted to the
Merchants and Manufacturers association
by Johnson, Carvell & Co. of this city that
will be of great importance to Los Angeles
and make this city in the near future an
Quitting point to Alaska. This firm is the
company of San Francisco, and the latter
has made arrangements for the running of
a line of steamships between San Fran
cisco and st. Michaels, transferring freight
and passengers there to a fleet of Yukon
river steamers, carrying the freight and
passengers direct to Dawson City. These
steamers are well equipped with all neces-
sary conveniences for the accommodation
of 600 to 800 passengers and have capacity
of $500 tons of freight each
If sufficient support to the promoters be
given, the steamers will run direct from
Redondo to St. Michaels and Dawson City,
and the same rates as to passengers and
freight will be given as are now charged
from San Francisco or Puget sound points.
1t is estimated that a large number of

A committee from the Merchants and

scented a plan for selecting representatives
from each organization to form COM
mittee for the purpose of framing a new

of the two boards to jointly discuss the
proper mode of procedure. On motion, the
request was granted, the date to be ar
ranged to satisfy the convenience of both
organizations.
Director Newmark chairman Of the COM
mttee on railways and transportation, re-
ported that the proposition of inducing
South American steamship lines to stop
this port on their way to San Francisco
could not be carried out, as II was i'm
possible to offer the inducements the
steamship companies would require.
The secretary reported that the collec-
tions for defraying the expenses of the
Omaha exposition were very satisfactory,
and that so per cent of the total amount
subscribed would soon be in the treasury.
Romulo Pico has added to the relic de-
partment a copper cannonball found at the
old fort in San Diego; also a stone cannon
ball found seventy feet under ground at
the same fort and cannonball fired from

FELL SEVENTY-FIvE FEET
An Eleven Year-Old Girl Drops Down

A serious accident occurred to the little

her life. Hanson, who resides on Warren
street, between Eighth and Ninth streets.
sent the little girl out into the yard about
O'Clock in the evening to get bucket of
water from their we'll. AS a general rule
the we'll is left covered until after the
children have gone to bed, but on this occa-
sion the boards had been accidentally left
off the top, and the child stepped into the
hole, which is fully sixty-tive feet deep
In falling she struck her shoulders and
head against some projecting timber. and
the right upper rib was driven four inches
through the back. Her father had seen
her fall, however. and climbed down the
ladder which runs inside the casing only
just in time to save the girl from drowning
in the five feet of water which the well con-
tanned at the time. She will recover in time,
but will be confined to her bed for weeks.
From the construction of the well it ap-
peared to be a miraculous escape from
death. since had she struck head first on
any one of the various timber braces she
would undoubtedly have been killed.
