The special train for the second Sun- day excursion to Santa Catalina Island, our favorite health resort, will leave the old depot at 7:30 o'clock this morning, and return in tbe evening. This will be an exceedingly enjoyable trip. Wange- man s orchestra will furnish sweet strains of melody to the voyagers. The attractions at both new BaqM Monica aud the canon to-day are many and varied, and the largest excur- sions of the season will doubtless take place. All the available passenger cars in the railway yard will be utili/.d for the benefit of those who desire to spend Sunday by tbe "sad sea waves," Pure California wines, put up in cases ready for shipping to all parts of the couu try, at H. J. Woollacott's. Ten more bars of bullion from the King mine went to San Francisco yes- terday. Their value is about $18,000, the result of six days' ran of the little Oro Grande mill. A mill of ten stamps that cau turn out $3,000 a day must hare very rich ore. Our Southern Cal- ifornia mines seem to grow richer as they go deeper. It Is stated that about twenty Knights Templar will be represented in the Tri- ennial Conclave from Ventura connty. Both San Luis Obispo and Santa Bar- bara counties are under the jurisdiction of Ventura Temple, which has elected Mr. John Hollister, of San Luis Obispo courity, as the Conclave representative of the three counties.

He ia the chief engineer of the proposed narrow gauge railway that la to be built from Loa Angelas to Pasadena, and then skirt the high mesa from the Arroyo Scco to San Bernardino, through the orchards aud vineyards at the base of the Sierra Madre mountains. The pros- pects of the rond seems to be bright and cheering. The delegates from New Mexico to the recent grand encampment of the G. A. R., nt Denver, were each presented with a handsome silver medal denoting the rays of the sun, by tbe State of Colo- rado, and inscribed, "A tribute to the Veterans." It was a graceful gift.

The celebration of the sixteenth of September, "Xl Dia Glorioso," the Mex- ican National Independence Day, will occur this year on Monday, the 17th, which is tho Chilean*' anniversary of a similar eharfccter. As there are not enough Chileans in the city aud vicinity ,to have a separate Jolitica'tion, by their joining with the Mexicans, the oelebra tion willbe more interesting. It seems that Fresno oounty, with all its rich land aud vast canals, is not ex- empt from a serious insect pest which attacks young vineyards. It is a kind of army worm, aud has appeared in overwhelming numbers, so that with the utmost effort it is doubtful ifany part of the grape crop cau be saved. One man has fifteen men st work picking the worms from the vines, and euch man will average ten gallous of worms per day. We observe that Messrs. Ifnmmnl ft Denker have purchased the interest of Mr, Rem) Nadenu in the Rancho Rodeo dc las Aguaß, 3300 acres of fine form- ing land, for $22,800. It is considered a good bargain. Messrs. Hammcl & Denker have now one of the ttxtm pro- ductive ranchos in the couutry, from which they supply both their hotels, besides having large crops for sale to shippers. Mr. R. Porter Ashe aud wife, who so narrowly escaped a horridle death in tho Tehacbepi diets*.ter in January, who are rusticating at present at Idle- wild, on Lake Taboo, came near drown- ing last week, while a few day-, later he had a lively encounter with a Mack liear, wh oh got him down and nearly favUksKl him, but wM finally killed, and was found to weigh 250 pounds. Mr. Ashe was evidently "born uuder a lucky star.'* Am. J. F. d ank and Dr. 0. H. Con- gar were in the city yesterday from I'.imi ii iia. The Doctor was at work systeaial /. ng the rui in industry and getting uniformityof product aud unity of action iv establishing the character and value of raisins ia the San G ibriel Valley. He is engaged in a laudable work that deseives success. The rasiu industry i*destined to be va«t aud lu- crative, aud needs systematizing and placing nn a practicable basis. We were favored with a call yester- day from Mr. John C. McCoy, of Dallas, Texas, R E O. Commander of the R. K. Grand Commandery of Texas, whostopped over ivour city for a couple of days en route to attend tbe Triennial Conclave at San Francisco. Mr Mi( un- expressed himself highly pleased with our city, and regretted that be was not able to spend a longer time with us in order to take in more of tho beauties of our section, flu was accompanied by the ladies of his family, and left last evening for San Francisco. We dUI the attention of our readers to the ad vert isement of Messrs. A. Charvoz & Co., which appears elsewhere in this morning's f(rralu. These gen- tlemen, who are thorough experts inthe business, have opened a house for the sale of California wines and hrandies and the best brands of French ehtrets nnd other foreign wines and liqueura.aml arc agents for the celebrated Washing- ton whiskey. Persons desiring any- thing in their line will lim! Cieir gooil.s all they are represented to be, and should not fail to call and examine their Istock. The Santa Ana Sicnxhir.l U warming np on the question oi highways, and asks: "Where arc our Road Ovem-ers? Have we any Road OverseeAtMl W here are oar roads? Have we any roads? .Are our Road Overseers rusticating at the summer resort ?; snr are they hauling gravel to till up the chuck holes that | make our county roads almost imposfta ble* Is there no money with which to do the work? Are tbe road taxes due? Are hundreds of farmers ready to work out their road tax when called upon? Is Santo Ana to be cut off from the Cnited States on aeoonut of bad roads? Messrs. Dillon k Kenealy announce their semi-annual clearance sale, in a double-column notice in thi*issue of the Hkrald. In order to make room for their Fall und H'mtor goods Mewrr. Dillon & Keneuly will hold a clearance sale of their elegant stock of Spring and Summer goods dnrmg the next four weeks. TfktM gentlemen have made dry and thi* manufacture of the same, a life study, and stand at the head of their piofeshion as judges of the arti- cles in which they deal. They select the btjjd g'.>ds direct from manufac- turers, and purchase the best that are made, and anon us are ndapted to tbe climate of IjOs Angeles, and the wants of all our population. Their stock is large and complete, of tho best qualities of European and American manufac- tures, which they will sell without re- gard to cost until the arrival of their Fall stock. The Next Railroad. The next railroad will probably be a mining railway to connect a lino of min- ing claims that are strung ..long at short distances for 230 miles, and will Open up a vast field to the business of this part of the country. The road will start ina five timbered region, aud will pass through vast distriots of copper, silver, salt, soda, magnetio iron, borax and gold. It will be an independent narrow-gauge road, aud easily built through a mineral country that will fur- nish bnainess in abnn lance. A survey has been made, and tbe line found prac- ticable. Suoh a road would be in a continuous mining country, such as no other road possesses in the whole coun- try, and would pay handsome dividends. Abundant capital lias be.en offered to build tho line, and strong men are its backers, among tbtm the largest mine owner in California. We are not at liberty to give names and route, or the termini of the road, except one of the termini will be in Nevada. Thia road is a rival to none, and will be an astonish- ment to the people of Ix>s Angelea. It will continue the building boom in our city and mako a largo anil near market for our grain, hay, fruits and vegetables All these elements conepire to make Los Angelea a great and important oity.

CRUZ, , Testified that he aaw the body about two o'clock. He was dead. The water in not deep. I reached in and took his head from the wa- ter and brought him to shore (The position of Sealer was the same as sworn to by the other witnesses.) I told my son to run. He helped me take him out.

The moat gigantic irrigation enterprise evat inaugural*dia fbi State of Cali- fornia, has been commenced iv Fresno connty. the canal for which will be the largest in tbe State, and fed by King* river. The water tsintended to irrigate 30,000,000 acres of rich hud, at present barren through the lack of water. The source of supply of this canal will be higher than any other debouching from the same stream. Its dimensions are: One hundred feet in width at the bot- tom; levees an average of fifteen feet in height nnd eight feet wide at tbe top, broad enongh for a wagon road. The depth of the water is expected to be five feet, with a fall of eighteen laches to the mile. The dam in the mountain canon whence the water is taken, will be a wouderful and permanent one. It ts twenty-five feet high, eight hundred feet long, one hundred and forty feet wide at the base and twenty-five feet wide on the top. It is riprapped on the inside with heavy rock, and every precaution taken to make it suffi- ciently strong to securely hold the great weight of water that must bo supported. The water is let into the canal from a large headgatc, constructed of heavy timber, one hundred feet in width, aud eighteen feet high. It is planked over a > as to make a bridge for heavy wagons feud has wings to protect it from the floods. Tho canal is expected to carry 1,300 cubic feet of water per second. It is only within a few years past, since Fresno county attempted irriga- tion on a largo scale, but it now savea water far hotter than many settle- ments in our owu county, bar ring those new ones which have adopted pipes, or cement or stone conduits. The project recently men- tioned in the Ih i: vi i rcgurdiug a grand tunnel to be bored in the Sierra Madre mountains would be to Loa Angeles county in proportion to the water sup- ply what the grand oauals of Kern, Fresno and Tulare counties are to them. It must also be remembered that one- qnarfmr of the water necessary for irri- gation i.vtbe counties named would be ample for our county, and that quantity could undoubtedly be obtained at a less expense than $280,000, which is the coat of the new Fresno canal. There is coin in it. Foundling. About half-past 9 o'clock last night Mr. Kilield, who resides at 117 Hunker Hilt avenue, found a female child, apparently about three weeks old, ina basket on his porch, snd a bottle of warm milk standing beside it. Mr. Fifleld has no children of his own, and that ih tbe reaaou. he thinks, some of his neighbors are laying their sins at his door, to which he objects. Chief Cuddy will this morning take the child to the Orphan Asylum.

Mr. Wolfskill moved that the Clerk be instructed to notify Mr. Bernard to remove tho stones from in front of his place ou Alameda street. Adopted. Adjourned. An Evil and Its Remedy. We learn that quite a number of mir. row escapes from serious aeeidi-nts bavsl been made by pedestrians Who are nec- essarily out ou a foggy night after the store efootrie lights have been extin- guished, ou account of tho euortnouH piles of building material on our prin- cipal streets, which, when buildings are incourse of construction on both sides, as on Commercial and Spring streets, nearly block up the entire thoroughfare. As au example, a number of firemen running to the tiro on Fifth street about midnight on Thursday, took the side- walks of Spring street, as the uearest cut to ths place of their duty, and were subjected to the delay and pain of fall- ing over brick, mortar and lumber piles frequently. Luckily they were so agile as to be little hurl, but the air was made azure with Home bad words. The plac- ing of some lanterns on theso obstruc- tions, which we believe is required dur- ing the night, would do away with many contusions. Let the law be enforced, or the city or contractors be sued for dam- ages, wheu casualties occur, which cau not be guarded against on account of a lack of proper lights, or placing of building material in the streets. Official Errors. The Secretary of the State Board of Agrioulture, Edwin F. Smith, publishes the acreage of cereals in the titate, for 1883, as follows; Wheat, '2,034,700 acres; barley, 775,405 acres; corn, 05,000 Ms**) all of which he says are tho "actual fig- ures." In regard to these figures, the only objection to them is their utter un- reliability, Los Angeles oonnty alone has more acreage of corn thau the Secre- tary gives to the whole State. The amount of barley is put at 775,405 acres, and is perhaps about two-thirds of the actual aereago. It would probably bo well if these officials would read the newspapers of tho State and inform themselves about the business of tbe country. A perusa. of the Herald would have spared this official from sending abroad such erroneous state- ments. For health, strength and vigor drink Damiana Bitters. jaufily COURT REPORTS.

There was nothing strange in his manner and tho people on the bridge thought of nothing wrong until they saw him hap from the bridge, over the railing, into the mighty waters beneath. The people on the bridge were awo-struek and power- Ism to render him any assistance, and with feelings of deep sorrow and tears in their eyes, they stood silently watch- ing him as he struggled with the rushing waters, and as he was carried into the roaring cataract, they noticed that he was still puffing away at one of those famous "TaMill's Punch" Cigais, Havana!) lilted, which ht* purchased at the Postotfice Cigar Store, tor only five cents. julyai-tf. | Wellington Coal.

The Next Railroad.

The next railroad will probably be amining railway to connect a lino of min-ing claims that are strung ..long atshort distances for 230 miles, and willOpen up a vast field to the business ofthis part of the country. The road willstart ina five timbered region, aud willpass through vast distriots of copper,silver, salt, soda, magnetio iron, boraxand gold. It will be an independentnarrow-gauge road, aud easily builtthrough a mineral country that willfur-nish bnainess in abnn lance. A surveyhas been made, and tbe line found prac-ticable. Suoh a road would be in acontinuous mining country, such as noother road possesses in the whole coun-try, and would pay handsome dividends.Abundant capital lias be.en offered tobuild tho line, and strong men are itsbackers, among tbtm the largest mineowner in California. We are not atliberty to give names and route, or thetermini of the road, except one of thetermini will be in Nevada. Thia road isa rival to none, and willbe an astonish-ment to the people of Ix>s Angelea.

An Enterprise and an Application.

The moat gigantic irrigation enterpriseevat inaugural*dia fbi State of Cali-fornia, has been commenced iv Fresnoconnty. the canal for which will be thelargest in tbe State, and fed by King*river. The water tsintended to irrigate30,000,000 acres of rich hud, at presentbarren through the lack of water. Thesource of supply of this canal will behigher than any other debouching fromthe same stream. Its dimensions are:One hundred feet in width at the bot-tom; levees an average of fifteen feet inheight nnd eight feet wide at tbe top,broad enongh for a wagon road. Thedepth of the water is expected to befive feet, with a fall of eighteen lachesto the mile. The dam in the mountaincanon whence the water is taken, willbe a wouderful and permanent one. Itts twenty-five feet high, eight hundredfeet long, one hundred and forty feetwide at the base and twenty-five feetwide on the top. It is riprapped on theinside with heavy rock, and everyprecaution taken to make it suffi-ciently strong to securely hold the greatweight of water that must bo supported.The water is let into the canal from alarge headgatc, constructed of heavytimber, one hundred feet in width, audeighteen feet high. It is planked overa > as to make a bridge for heavy wagonsfeud has wings to protect it from thefloods. Tho canal is expected to carry1,300 cubic feet of water per second.

It is only within a few years past,since Fresno county attempted irriga-tion on a largo scale, but it now saveawater far hotter than many settle-ments in our owu county, barring those new ones which haveadopted pipes, or cement or stoneconduits. The project recently men-tioned in the Ih i: vi i rcgurdiug a grandtunnel to be bored in the Sierra Madremountains would be to Loa Angelescounty in proportion to the water sup-ply what the grand oauals of Kern,Fresno and Tulare counties are to them.It must also be remembered that one-qnarfmr of the water necessary for irri-gation i.vtbe counties named would beample for our county, and that quantitycould undoubtedly be obtained at a lessexpense than $280,000, which is the coatof the new Fresno canal. There is coininit.

Foundling.

About half-past 9 o'clock last nightMr. Kilield, who resides at 117 HunkerHilt avenue, found a female child,apparently about three weeks old, inabasket on his porch, snd a bottle ofwarm milk standing beside it. Mr.Fifleld has no children of his own, andthat ih tbe reaaou. he thinks, some ofhis neighbors are laying their sins at hisdoor, to which he objects. Chief Cuddywill this morning take the child to theOrphan Asylum.

An Evil and Its Remedy.

We learn that quite a number of mir.

row escapes from serious aeeidi-nts bavslbeen made by pedestrians Who are nec-essarily outou a foggy night after thestore efootrie lights have been extin-guished, ou account of tho euortnouHpiles of building material on our prin-cipal streets, which, when buildings areincourse of construction on both sides,as on Commercial and Spring streets,nearly block up the entire thoroughfare.As au example, a number of firemenrunning to the tiro on Fifth street aboutmidnight on Thursday, took the side-walks of Spring street, as the uearestcut to ths place of their duty, and weresubjected to the delay and pain of fall-ing over brick, mortar and lumber pilesfrequently. Luckily they were so agileas to be little hurl, but the air was madeazure with Home bad words. The plac-ing of some lanterns on theso obstruc-tions, which we believe is required dur-ing the night,would do away with manycontusions. Let the law be enforced, orthe city orcontractors be sued for dam-ages, wheu casualties occur, which caunotbe guarded against on account of alack of proper lights, or placing ofbuilding material in the streets.

Official Errors.

The Secretary of the State Board ofAgrioulture, Edwin F. Smith, publishestheacreage of cereals in the titate, for1883, as follows; Wheat, '2,034,700 acres;barley, 775,405 acres; corn, 05,000 Ms**)all of which he says are tho "actual fig-ures." In regard to these figures, theonly objection to them is their utter un-reliability, Los Angeles oonnty alonehas more acreage of corn thau the Secre-tary gives to the whole State. Theamount of barley is put at 775,405 acres,and is perhaps about two-thirds of theactual aereago. It would probably bowell if these officials would read thenewspapers of tho State and informthemselves about the business of tbecountry. A perusa. of the Heraldwould have spared this official fromsending abroad such erroneous state-ments.

The people onthe bridge were awo-struek and power-Ism to render him any assistance, andwith feelings of deep sorrow and tearsin their eyes, they stood silently watch-ing him as he struggled with therushing waters, and as he was carriedinto the roaring cataract, they noticedthat he was stillpuffing away at one ofthose famous "TaMill's Punch" Cigais,Havana!) lilted, which ht* purchased atthe Postotfice Cigar Store, tor onlyfivecents. julyai-tf.|
