DINGMANS FERRY.

At the last sitting Of our fence club one
of the matters discussed was politics, and
the candidates for sheriff. but yell Of
terror went up from some of the members
over the idea of publically expressed opin-
ions before the nomination. If a choice
is thus made what will become of our free
beer, cigars and other things, for without
that we can still make the candidates
keep putting up some of those necessaries.
The conclusion privately reached was that
If the candidate who is honesti industri
'ous aud always ready to do any favor in
his power for his friends should be nomin
ated by the Democrats, the republican can
didate would stand a gilt edge chance
Of being elected.
Next our supervisors came up for criti-
cism and it was agreed that Of the four
who started out in the spring to see who
could do the best work, the Centre district
boss had been left SO far in the rear that
he could not be discovered by teles-
cope

SENATORIAL SITUATION
WHAT THE LITTLE BIRDS SAY OF
THE FUNNY FIGHT
COUNTY DEPUTIES NAMED
Possibilities, Probabilities and Sure
Things Who Figure in the Chase
for Easy Jobs-Notes

The Bulla senatorial stock continues to
rise, for it is now well ascertained that
Governor-elect Gage will get into the fight
when it opens at Sacramento and use his
influence for the Los Angeles man. He is
certainly strongly opposed to U. S. Grant,
whose eastern syndicate" campaign has
alienated many who would otherwise have
given him their support. Walter Bacon,
who has been in the east in Grants inter-
est, returned yesterday. What he accom-
plished there is of course not officially
known, but good guess would be, as stated
in yesterdays Herald, that he attempted to
swing the administration to use some sort
of pull in this state, and also made every
effort to secure the Huntington end OF tbs
string that extends from Mr.. Herrin's office
in San Francisco to New York.
Whether he succeeded time alone VIII
disclose, but possibility of the campaign
is that Mr.. Burns will be sidetracked and
eventually the railway forces will cong out
for Grant. 1t is question if Burns is at
all serious in his candidacy, or if Mr.. Herrin
has any idea of his being factor in the con-
test. 1t is within the bounds of Mr.. Her.
rims idea of having fun with "John Dough"
and "the general" that Colonel Burns is
being used simply as bogie man. The

deputy. Mr.. Logan has been the clerk for
Judge Smiths department of the superior
court and has proved himself efficient as an
officer.
County Clerk Bell is very reticent about
his appointments, but it is rumored that
Johnny Lowe will be his chief deputy. Mr..
Lowe has been deputy in the assessors
office for some time past and is townsman
Of Mr.. Bells.
Y. w. Blake is reported to be billed for
his place as clerk of Department two. He
is the oldest employe in point of service in
the courthouse. Andy Francisco is talked
OF for Judge York's court and Arthur For.
rester for Judge Smiths.
Sam Kutz, it is said, will keep right on
aiding in building up the country by issuing
marriage licenses and Charlie Keyes' friends
say he will continue as registration clerk,
and Frank Ryder as messenger, place he
took when he was 13 years old.
George Francis, who has been one of Clerk
Newlin's deputies, has been appointed chief
stenographer for the attorney general and
will leave on the 9th for his new place.
City Attorney-elect Walter +. Haas has
selected Hon. S. c. Houghton and Leslie
r. Hewitt for his deputies. Mr.. Houghton
was once congressman from this district
many years ago. Mr.. Hewitt is son of
X. H. Hewitt and has been associated with
MIR. Haas in the practice of law.

A STUBBORN FIGHT
EXPLODED TANKS BURNED TILL
MIDNIGHT
Standard Oil Company Opens Tempo
rary oflces-Will Rebuild at
Once-Prices Unchanged

A single tongue Of fame, shooting into the
evening air to a height Of probably hun
dred feet, is all that remained last night to
show the people of Los Angeles the location
OF the fire which caused the 100000 blaze at
the Standard Oil company's yards Wednes
day afternoon.
AT 7 o'clock last night, all that remained
Of the large 250, 900 gallon tank at the north
west corner of the yards still contained
three feet of heavy lubrcating oil, the heat
from which was sufficient to cause some ap-
prehension as to the safety of the brick
warehouse owned by the Santa Fe and sit
uated north OF the yards between the large
burning tanks and the railroad tracks. Two
streams were wetting down the roof and
walls all day, and the department will con-
tnue to play on the building until the large
tank is entirely burnt out. A careful ex
animation would seem to show that the oil
is burning at the rate Of nine inches per
hour, and providing nothing unexpected
happens the services of the department eau
be dispensed with by 6 o'clock this morning.
Two streams have been playing all day on
the two large coal oil tanks in the yard
but there is little fear of their catching un-
der the present existing conditions. The
smaller of the two large tanks on the north
west corner of the grounds, which was the
first to explode yesterday morning at
o'clock, burned itself out yesterday noon,
considerably lessening the danger of the
fire spreading to the icehouse across the
track belonging to the California Fruit Ex.
press, on which one stream was continually
playing all day. Engine companies l,
and have been kept at their respective sta.
tions, none of their crews having gone home
or left their posts except for meals since
the fire started The continued strain for
thirty-two hours on the men has thoroughly
worn them out, since they have had no
time off, even for sleep. Engine No. had
been pumping since o'clock on Wednesday
afternoon, with the single exception of the
time taken in severing the connection to al
low the hose to be run underneath the rail
road tracks. Through the entire day yester-
day muffed reports could be heard as an
occasional isolated can of oil would explode
from the heat sent out by the large burning
tanks. Despite the fact that the fire was
practically out with the exception of the
large tanks, crowds of people focked to the
scene yesterday evening and the Downey
avenue viaduct held almost as many curious

AT THE THEATER
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

THE LOS ANGELES.-In the theatrical
world novelty is the ruling passion and the
public is always craving something new; or
if it be content with old-fashioned dishes,
they must be served up with new sauce.
Mr.. Hoyt, an alleged playwright, seized upon
this idea many years ago and originated
series OF farce comedies, so-caled. In the
production of them the principal boast was
that they had no story, or conference and
were constructed for laughing purposes only.
At that comparatively remote period, the
brazen assurance of Mr.. Hpyt, backed up
by a number of good speciality people, won
popular favor and Mr.. Hoyt made fortune.
Vaudeville as it exists today was then un-
known. Neither was it ever dreamed of
that Legitimate" artists would be rubbing
elbows with speciality people, who were
looked upon as belonging to another and
lower caste.
ga Bunch of Keys" was one of Hoyts
earliest ventures and its revival last night
with all its original inanities, but without
the cleverness OF its original specialties
causes a mild surprise at the thought that
such a concoction could ever have been
thought funny. The audience last evening
was IA good-szed one. the prices being of the
popular" scale, and it treated the piece
rather seriously. There was some scattering
applause now and then but for the most part
the spectators were apparently waiting for
the fun to begin. The leading lady worked
hard, very hard, and there can be no more
difficult task than the effort to be funny and
real cute in short skirts and an expansive
smile and then to be unrewarded with the
expected applause.
Among the specalties was sand dance
by frankie ST. John which was the first
thing of the evening that secured genuine
recognition FROM theuudience, on account of
its being really cleverly done. George +. Hall
gave few good limitations of popular ac-
tors, past and present, and warranted the
supposition that he, could do better work if
an intelligent part were given him. He
makes the mistake, however, in his acting.
of catering to the lowest class in his audi
ence. "A Bunch of Keys" vii. hold the
boards for the remainder of the week.
The sale of seats for Secret Service ="
which is to be given next week at the Los
Angeles, began yesterday and the indications
point to crowded houses for the engagement.

HELD FOR BURGLARY
Latham Must Answer for an Attemnt
to Tap Till


Joseph Latham was held to answer yes.
terday by Justice Owens to the charge of
burglary. Bail was fixed at $1,000. Latham
is the man who ia said to have entered the
office of Fred Helms bottlng works on
Central avenue near the Arcade depot last
Monday to commit burglary. Thomas Cum.
rnings, clerk, left the office for a short
time, and on returning saw that the door
was closed. He noticed man bending
down behind the counter by the money till.
As he opened the door the man, who was
Latham. stepped forward and asked him to
change $40. Cummings said he could not
make the change, so Latham left the place.
Cummings grew suspicious and looked into
the cash drawer, and saw that it was en-
tirely empty. AS Mr.. Helm is in the habit
of leaving several hundred dollars in the
till at that time of day Cummings naturally
concluded that Latham had taken the money.
Cummings went in pursuit of the man,
and with the aid of Special Officer Wilson
captured Latham after hard chase. When
Cummings learned that Helm had taken the
money from the till and deposited it in bank
some time before Latham visited the office
he naturally felt relieved.
