Yet the res- olution absolutely died for want of a second. Councilm Nickel and Toll both jumped into.the breach as soon as 1t was presented and argued against its adoption. They lined up for the water company. No Councilman had backbone enough to second the resolu- tion, although its passage was request- ed by a mass meeting of hundreds of citizens. Councilman Grider was un- avoidably absent. But the Councilmen who are in this ficht and are so indifferent as to the rights of the people and so fearful lest the water company will not be accorded every right it is entitled to are seeking cover. They are aware that the rate- vers of Los Angeles, thanks to The Call, have their eyes opened as to the manner in which they are being dealt with by public servants who forget ante-election pledges. The result of this awakening is a report from the committee on water supply, which was made to the Council to-day. It was a review, long and tiresome, of what that committee has done—or, rather, what it has not done—in the matter of bring- BRIV RRNS These resolutions the Los Angeles City Resolved, That the City Attorney be and he Is hereby directed to draw up in legal form a notification Company that further improvements placed upor this time and the 22d of July, 1898, beyond what are sary for the maintenance of the safd system until the expiration of the lease of the said company, would not accord with the plan of the water system for the municipality as outlined by the City Resolved, That the City Clerk be and he is he ward this notice to the Los Angeles City Water Company at once. lutions adopted at the non-par- | cor- | | company. g to a head the negotiations bel‘.\'een} the water company and the city.

STOCKTON, Jan. 31.—Word was re- ceived here this afternoon of the acci- | dental shooting of T. S. Gleason, a well- known citizen at Mokelumne Hill. The m had been playing keno at a saloon and at 11:30 last night, accompanied by Constable Pelatin, he went to the saloon of Robert Casey. Everybody was talking | about the game of keno, and during the conversation Gleason slapped down a 10- r and said: 1 of the game.” ceeper, ( 2 per, y, then an old, rusty 1d olver at much ahead of the 5 s later the latter lay dead | on 'he bullet penetrated his for bove -the nose. Casey is alm ed with grief. NO RELATIONS questions concerned. Among other things the committee says in its re-‘ port: There has never been any doubt as to | the wishes of the people in this matter; thelr attitude has been positive and un- | equivocal for municipal ownership, and | no act of Councll, legal advisers, engineer | or committee can be honestly interpreted to mean anything but complete acquil cence to this demand. If a more radical action has been declined from time to time, it has been done in obedience to legal barriers and with the one object of avoiding complications which would avail naught but to defer the actual ac- quirement of municipal ownership. | As a business man in the conduct of his practical affairs entrusts all legal ques- tions to competent adv 0 those now In authority fn mu al affairs have deemed it but justice to the citizens whose Intrrests they represent to mak of this matter a legal rather than a polit- | At all times have the legal | advisers of the city been fully consulted. feal contest The report of the committee, which | contained absolutely nothing of any value, was filed. The water supply committee, it will be noted. has placed all responsibility for inactivity and de- | lay upon City Attorney W. E. Dunn. | The Citizens’ Committee proposes to | see to it that Mr. Dunn does something | more from now on than look wise when | it comes to taking action on the water | question. Mr. Dunn has all along | claimed that he was with the people in this contest, but he has not up to date availed himself of the opportunity of going on record very strongly in that direction. In this matter of ‘trifling with the rights of the city the people of Los Angeles have already had a costly ex- | perlence. If F. M. Nickell, the present chairman of the Council committee on | water supply, had voted as he agreed to in the City Council in 1892 the city would now own the Hooker-Pomeroy head works site and the long and ex- pensive litigation that is pending to get that site for the city would have been avoided. But Nickell cast his vote so that the title to the head works land was clouded, and now the city will be compelled to pay large money for his mistake, which has resulted in great | benefit and advantage to the water This is one of the reasons the people look with suspiclon on Nickell now. The water company to-day submitted to the Council its annual statement as to its business. It is as follows: For a perfod of twelve months, from | November 1, 189, to October 31, 1807. Re- ceipts—Materal sold, $% 76; service con- nection, § rent of house, $96; water | rents, 89; total, $424.590 Ex- penditures—General construction account $104,364 27; expense account maintenance accounts, $107,6: account, $33,957 84; ofl well and tank, $2.7 nection account, $920 Ti $74,400; total, $438,638. This statement as to expenses is | graphic in its generalities. The three {items of general construction, mainten- ance and expense, which cover $315,000, | are certalnly very indefinite. To-morrow ex-Mayor Henry T. Haz- | ard will designate the committee of | nine on municipal water supply, and it will at once proceed to endeavor to ob- tain some action at the hands of the Council. The Aldermanic body is now looked upon with suspicion, but if it | can be persuaded to do something in behalf of the people the general pub- lic will applaud, even if the syndicated dailies fail to realize the importance of the action taken. 43; Los Feliz con- dividend account, | | Huntington for violating the | relative WITH DREYFUS.

He was accompanied by Gen- eral Clunfe and Senator Eugene F. Bert. Lawrence after a short discussion swore to the following complaint: People of the State of California vs. H. E.

Suffered From Rheumatism and Be- lieved Himself Possessed by a Demon. Special Dispatch to The Call. TACOMA, Jan. 31.—After wrestling for two years with the evil spirit to whom Chinese attribute all physical ills and suffering. Look Su,a fireman on the steamship Braemar, committed sui- cide this morning by hanging. Con- sidering hls facilities, he did a very neat job of it, for he had only two feet of ordinary lamp wick and a small space in the stoke hole in which to ope- rate. The body was discovered short- ly after daylight and cut down by an engineer. None of the other forty Chinese aboard would go near the dead man, nor venture intc that part of the ship. Each was afraid he would be- come possessed of the devil, which, they say, inhabited Look Su’s body, if they touched his corpse or anything it had touched. The Celestial was taken ill at For- mosa and suffered from an attack of rheumatism all the way across, recov- | ering only upon arrival at Victoria. After solemn ceremonies, by means of which his companions thought they had driven out his evil spirit, last night his rheumatism or the devil re- turned, doubtless causing his decision to kill himself. His superstitious countrymen explain the reason for his death by saying that he has really been dead for two years, or ever since the devil, in the guise of rheumatics, has had possession of him, and because he did not die during this last severe attack while crossing the sea he took his own life in order to es- cape the clutches of the demon. They believe the escaped devil is still aboard ship and will keep away from that stokehole in particular until ac- | tually compelled to work there. That will be to-morrow, for the Braemar de- parts on Wednesday morning. Look Su’'s body will be carried back to China on the Braemar in a coffin which his countrymen brought forth from their quarters to-day. These Asliatic liners always carry a number of Chinese coffins for use on such occa- sions. No steamship refuses to carry back the body, for in such an event it would be ever afterward boycotted by all Chinese crews. Coroner Hoska held an inquest this afternoon, bringing out the story here related. TRIED TO MURDER AN ERRING WIFE Emil A. Steger Frustrated in an At- tempt to Cut His Spouse’s Throat. ST. LOUIS, Jan. 3L.—Emil A. Steger, an employe of the Nelson Morris Company, came over from East St. Louis at noon to-day and went to 206 South Broadway. His wife was there with another man. Steger burst open the door, drew a mur- derous butcher knife and made for his wife. He says he intended to cut her throat. “You have murdered my love,” he cried, “ruined my life and blasted the future of our child. I'll show you ho mercy." The woman seized the knife in both hands. Then came a deadly struggle be- tween husband and wife. The keen edge of the knife cut to the bone. Blood spurted from the wounds and she shrieked with pain. The husband jerked the knife away Wwith such force that he lost his balance, atasfiered backward and fell in a heap on the floor. The wife darted out of the door, screaming for help. He caught her' and again she grasped the knife. He struck her with his free hand, knocking her down, and was about to finish her when Mrs. Lewis, the landlady, dragged him back. At the hospital Mrs. Steger said they had been marri five years and had quarreled most of the time, She left him some time ago and was working as a waltress. C. P. Talbot, the other man in the case, escaped by jumping from a window. Griggs Detained at Stanford. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Jan. 31— The beginning of the leave of absence granted to Profissor Griggs of the de- partment of ethics has been postponed untfl January, 1899.

Chose an Isolated Spot Where He Could Study the Occult Sciences. Has a Valet With Whom All Com- munication Is Carried On in Writing. Bpecial Dispatch to The Call. SANTA CRUZ, Jan. 31l.—Santa Cruz County has a hermit, one who !s styled by the people who reside near his abode the ‘“Laure! Hermit.” This | name is chosen, as he resides three | miles from Laurel station, on the nar- Tow gauge road, fourteen miles from this city. Laurel is an ideal spot for one wishing to live this sort of life, as | it is in the Santa Cruz Mountains, and with surrounding canyons, its beautitul | forests and its pretty streams, is just the place for one who would commune with nature. It was in the fall that a young man, a stranger, came to this place to take up his home. The spot was a very iso- lated one, and the neighbors soon saw that he wished to be let alone and pre- ferred his own company. A cottage was built by himself, and here he has resided, a mysterious personage. The object of his choosing such a| spot for a residence was soon learned. He is studying the occult sciences and the mysteries unknown to man. A queer request was made by him—that the men who were engaged in chop- ping wood near by his place should cease their work, as it disturbed him. He was soon designated by the people as the “Laurel Hermit” on account of his eccentricities and peculiarities. The most singular feature is that a man is engaged by him as a sort of private secretary, who does all of his business, such as the purchase of gro- ceries and household necessities. It is said by those who reside in the neigh- borhood that these men never speak to each other. All communication be- tween them is done by means of notes. which are left on a certain spot on the ranch. The hermit owns a horse and car- riage and often makes excursions in the deep recesses of the forest, where he can be undisturbed in his studies of the occult sciences. He has never been troubled by any of his neighbors. They do not call on him, as they know they would be unwelcome, and they feel that if he so desires he may study and commune with nature to his heart's content. All that is known of the young man is that he is from the East. L R e e e e S T T D S AT GOVERNOR GRIGGS _HAS RESIGNED The New ]eruy Legislature Selects a Successor to the New Attor- ney-General. TRENTON, N. J., Jan. 3lL—Governor Griggs to-night sent to both houses of the Legislature a communication giving notice that he had filed his.resignation with the Sccretary of State, to take ef- fect at midnight. The two Houses then passed a resolution providing that Presi- dent Voorheis of the Senate should take the oath of office as acting-Governor, in the presence of the Senate and House, at 10 to-morrow, and that Chief Justice McKie be requested to administer the oath. A concurrent resolution eulogis- tic of Governor Griggs was adopted by the Senate and Assembly.

Condemned by His Own Mother, the Assassint Is in Danger of Being Lynched. Spectal Dispatch to The Call. BURLINGTON, .Ta., Jan. 31L.—Abel Storms has confessed the murder of Mrs. Fannie Rathburn and her daugh- ter Mary. The confession was made to Chief of Police Greiner and the County Attorney. Storms says he committed the deed on Sunday night, January 25. He states that he killed the mother in the cellar. Then he enticed the little girl into the bedroom above, and after | an attempt to assault her, cut her | throat. Storms was taken to the morgue, al- though he begged not to see the bodies of his victims. He turned sickly pale | | and trembled violently when he gazed | | bell upon the corpses. Storms and Cox, an alleged accom- | plice, are now locked up in the county | Jail and strongly guarded by deputies | armed with Winchesters. Sheriff Smith | has issued a proclamation to the effect 3 that any attempt to break into the jail and lynch Stormswill be met with sum- mary treatment by the deputies, who | will not hesitate to shoot. All is quiet | to-night, though threats of lynching | were made during the afternoon. Storms’ mother was in Burlington to- day. She is a fine-looking, intelligent woman, and was much horrified by her on’s predicament. She exclaimed | when first hearing of the murder: “The man who did that deed ought to be hanged, no matter if he is my son.” Cox is held as an accessory to the crime, but he has not confessed. His preliminary hearing is set for Wednes- day. HOT AIR SENT FORTH | FROM AN OLD CRATER. | ALBUQUERQUE, Jan. 31L.—There are very strong indications that one of the | extinct volcanoes, about eight miles west of Albuquerque, is preparing to resume operations. A party of half a dozen per- sons from the town drove out to the vol- cano yesterday and report having feit hot alr issuing from-crevices in the bottom of the crater in a number of places, and all | declare there was a distinct smell of sul- | phur all about the place. This volcano has been extinct for many | centuries, but the country for several | miles around is covered to a great depth | with lava which it has thrown out at some time in the past. The crater is | feet in diameter and 100 feet deep, with walls so precipitous that the | descent into it is very difficult, while it | looks as though it might have been in a state of activity only a few years ago. is in plain view from the town, and number of times during the last few days | parties have deelared that they saw | smoke issuing from it. The surrounding country is covered by snow, which has | | all disappeared from the top and sides of | the old volcano, showing that it is warm- | er there, at least. This whole section is | volcanic, and it would be no surprise to ters break out again at any time.

Now the Investigation Into the Ohio Senatorial Scandal Is Drawing to a Close. Special Dispatch to The Call. COLUMBUS, O., Jan. 31.—The inves- tigation into the alleged attempt to bribe Representative Otis to vote for Senator Hanna during the late Senato- rial contest is rapidly drawing to an end. The committee held a brief ses- sion after the Senate adjourned this evening. Attorney T. C. Campbell was the only witness examined. He was recalled,for the purpose of allowing Senators Rub- ertson and Garfield, who were not pres- when Mr. Campbell to question him. Neither of the Senators, however, asked a question, and the only queries were made by Chairman Burke. Mr. Camp- told of his personal relations toward Otis. He said he had frequently acted as attorney for Otis and always considered Otis a straightforward and honest man. He said Mr. Otis had al- ways been a sort of mild Republican. Campbell said he did not see how Otis could have voted for Hanna, as Otis was a member of a free silver club. Campbell said he had always been on friendly terms with Senator Hanna, and had been associated in a business way with some of Hanna's friends. He claimed he had been a supporter of Hanna until after the latter’s pogition on the money question had been made known after his appointment to the Senate. Then he had rather drifted away from the Senator politically. Campbell claimed he had been a sup- porter of McKinley in the Presidential campaign on account of his views on the tariff. No other witnesses were examined, and the crowd of spectators who had gathered were somewhat disappointed. | It is believed the committee will com- plete its work this week. MASKED MEN DEMAND A PRISONER. Conflicting Reports Concerning & Negro Murderer Who Was in Custody of a Constable. GALENA, Kan., Jan. 3.—A mob of fifty masked men were at the Memphis depot here early this morning when Con- stable Lafe Roe arrived from Columbus with Richard Ward, a negro, who. with- out serious provocation. fatally stabbed Dennis Brown last week. The mob de- manded that Ward be handed over to them, but the officer quietly drew his prisoner into the car and went on to the next_station. It is believed that Ward has been returned to the county jail at Columbus. COLL US, Kan., Jan. 3L—At the county_jail here it is insisted that Con- stable Roe has not returned from Galena with his negro prisoner, Ward. One re- port has it that when' pressed by the mob Roe permitted the negro to run through the car and escape in the dark- ness. Another rumor in circulation is that the negro has been caught and | scientific men to see one of the old cra- | hanged to a railroad bridge between here and Galena.
