An Important Case,

Los ANGELES, Calf, Aug. Pa
pers in damage suit for S137, 200 by
the Los Angeles Water company
against the city of Los Angeles are
now being prepared and will be filed
within the next few days. For several
years past the city council of Los An
geles has at various times ordered the
water rates charged by the company
reduced. The water company protest
ed against the reductions, claiming
that the action of the aldermanic board
was both arbitrary and illegal and in
conflict with it's charter rights. The
aldermen proved obdurate and the
matter was finally taken into court. A
few days ago the case was decided in
favor of the water company. the court
concurring in nearly all the claims set
forth in the plaintiffs petition. The
company now brings suit to recover
losses sustained because of the reduc-
tions enforced by the city codncil.

Dividends At Boston.

BOSTON, Aug. 9.-From carefully
computed figures it is estimated that
semi-aunual dividends and interest
money, with some payments of princi-
pal amounting TO $40, 1885, will be
paid in Boston during the current
month. The total footing is increased
by heavy extra payments. Among
those are the American Bell Telephone
bonds, $1,000 900: Rutland Railroad
second mortgage bonds, 81 ,43O, 900, and
Pullman Palace Car extra cash divi-
dend, of which Boston stockholders
will receive s2,2S4, l2O. A very consi-
derable sum of the total comes from
earnings on mining shares held here.
Colorado alone will contribute fully
S75, 900 to this account.

PEACE HANGS FIRE
Spain's Reply Not Yet Delivered.

|
WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-Up to noon
nothing official had been received at
the white house or state department
which would indicate that Spain's re-
ply to the presidents peace terms had
been received by the French ambas-
ador, M. Cambon.
Secretary Day. who was at the white
house early this morning said at eleven
| O'Clock that he had received no word
from the French ambassador. The
opinion now is that Cambon will make
no communication in reply to the ad-
ministratiOn until after the cabinet
meeting. He will then arrange through
Secretary Day for an interview with
the president. The impression is gain
ing ground that the reply of Spain is
not entirely satisfactory.
PARIS, Aug. "a dispatch received
here from Madrid via Biarritz says
that the Spanish reply to the United
States expresses hope that the Ameri-
can government will not hand Cuba
control of the government of the island
in order that the interests of Spanish
property owners may be respected.
Spain also intimates her preference
for the retention of Porto Rico,
surrendering any of her Pacific pos
sessions to the Americans instead. The
Spanish government is satisfied with
the appointment of q mixed commits
sion to settle the question of the dispo-
sition OF the Philippines, and suggests
that the meetings of the commission be
held at Paris.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-The cabinet
remained in.session an hour and half.
Routine government matters chiefly
occupied the attention of the president
and his advisers. Some word from the
French ambassador was momentarily
expected but came not; therefore only
brief informal discussion of the peace
question was INDUCED in. Incidental
ly todaJ's advices from Manila were
discussed.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 90 P. M
Ambassador Cambon says he will call
at the white house this afternoon.

SAMPSON AGAIN

DENVER, August 9.-Chaplain Nc
Intyre of the Oregon lectured here
last night on the work of that battle

Beer War.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 9.-War has
begun here between the brewery COM
bine and several Independent brewers
because the latter insist on selling
steam beer to retailers at Sc per barrel,
as against 81 charged by the syndicate
with fifty cents allowed the driver and
collector of each wagon for spending
money for each barrel sold This
practically makes the syndicate price
$3.50. The direct cause of the trouble
between the combine and Independent
brewers is the war tax of 81 per barrel
which means an aggregate of $40, 900
additional monthly payment to the
government. The combine brewers
insist that they cannot afford to stand
this additional expense and sell beer
at SS per barrel, and as an ultimatum
suggest that the retailers either reduce
the size of the glassware or add anoth-
er story to the COLLAR" The beer
drinking public insist on the regula-
ton size schooner minus the s'war
collar" The non-combine brewers
have acquiesced to this demand, hence
the rupture.

After q quarter of II century's hard work in

from Judges and Police Commissioners near

it is fitting that his most memorable

one remembers the Muswell hill murder, and
the skill with which that mystery was elucl-
dated by Mr.. Nutkins when only the falntest
clues we're obtaimable. Fowler and Nilsson
were tracked months after tine crime was
perpetrated, and the arrest took place at a
time when the public regarded the police
as outwitted. The whole of the dIScov-
cry turned upon a toy lantern when the
burglars had f~oolishly left behind. Suspi-
cions were aroused as to the identity of the
thieves because of the large amount OF money.

the police, were spending. 1t is related of
