A fire took place yesterday morning in the furniture shop of Messrs. Strahle & Kammler, located on Spring street, Los Angeles. The building was the property of Sam Hellman.

The election for delegates to the Republican Convention will take place to-day at the Wine Rooms, corner Los Angeles and Centre streets. The delegates, so far as we can learn, are D. E. Miles, H. Blanken and J. M. Guinn.
We call attention to the advertisement of the patent coupling for artesian well rods.

Samples of the patent coupling may be found at Mr. Bennerscheid's tin shop on Centre street.

Christ Callian was arrested yesterday on a complaint of stealing some photographs from a young lady. The gentleman with the religious name paid the fine and gave up the pictures.
There was a slight unpleasantness in Santa Ana on Sunday, arising from a misunderstanding relating to a poker game. The boys in Santa Ana appear to be better fixed than their Anaheim brethren. Here there is not money enough to ante with, and the advent of a candidate is the only prospect for a drink.

In response to invitation sent out by the President and some other members of the Democratic Union, a number of gentlemen met at Judge Bailey's office on Saturday evening, to consider the desirability of their pristine vigor.
issuing a call for a public meeting. It was resolved that no public meeting be held, and it further appeared to be the sense of the meeting that delegates should run independent, as no nominations made in cancus or at a public meeting could be considered binding. And further, it appeared to be the opinion of the majority present, that the proper function of the Club would be to ensure the election of the candidates nominated by the Convention and not to resolve itself into a delegates' candidacy. We publish to-day a ticket of delegates to be voted for at the primary election on July 21st.
Santa Ana Items.
FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT.
A visit to Los Angeles last week furnished us an opportunity of learning something of the Republican organization and something of the candidates seeking nomination at the hands of that organization. In the first place we found them well organized and working in harmony together; the demoralization effected by the disastrous pinto flaco seemed all forgotten; the rank and file seemed to rejoice over the fact that they would have an opportunity of voting for, and a reasonable hope of electing Republican candidates. For State Senator Mr. H. D. Barrows was prominently mentioned, and it was generally conceded that he would make a good run for either Senator or County Treasurer. For Sheriff, Mr. H. C. Wiley is conceded to be the coming man, so far as the Republicans are concerned, with a certainty, almost of an election. For Tax Collector, Mr. Geo. H. Kimball has no opposition, and it is generally acknowledged by all parties—except by Mr. Kremer—that he will succeed Mr. Kremer. All three of these gentlemen are well and favorably known in this part, and, in fact, all over the county. For Superintendent of Public Schools, Mr. John R. Brierly is conceded to be the ablest man mentioned for that position, and as he is popular, there is every reason to believe that he will be elected. It is a common saying "What John Brierly hasn't in his head, he carries in his pocket." Mr. H. H. Barclay, for District Attorney, and Dr. Hoffman for Coroner, seem to have a clear track. Mr. R. D. Pitt, for Assemblyman, and Mr. Geo. Peck for Sup't of Schools, and also N. L. Coon, for Assemblyman, do not seem to have much strength in Los Angeles, which is also the case in this part of the county. While these gentlemen may be of spotless integrity, we have nothing to say of them personally; it is well known that they are not the strongest men that can be selected, and for

Conviction of Bank Robbers.
Springfield, Mass., July 12.
In the trial of the bank robbers of the Northampton bank yesterday, the jury returned a verdict of guilty. The prosecution announced its readiness to proceed with the trial on indictment for breaking into Cashier Whillesey's house.
Goldsmith Maid at Springfield.
Springfield, July 13.
Goldsmith Maid, in her trial of speed at Hampden Park to-day, made 2:23, 2:19, and 2:22.
The Murder of Hackett at Montreal.
Montreal, July 12.
Poor police regulations are generally blamed for the trouble to-day. The Orangemen, who pledged themselves not to parade, were openly intimidated by roughs and loafers, who easily took possession of the streets. Armed with weapons and foul words, both parties expected and were prepared for the worst. The Orangemen went early to church in the morning but it was rumored they would bring out the harmless Union Jack, and crowds hurried to Knox church in anticipation of that. Inside the church the regalia and orange lilies were common. An eyewitness says that about 1:20 o'clock shouts attracted the crowd to Craig street, where a young man in gray clothes, named Hackett, was rushing away from a mob. While the leaders attempted to pull him off the steps of Dunn's store, another young man attempted to aid him. He was struck by one of the mob, whereupon he fired several shots, and simultaneously received the fire of the pack. One shot struck him in the forehead, when he fell bleeding on the sidewalk, but shots were still fired at him, and nobody went to his assistance, until a policeman placed him in an express wagon and took him away. A Protestant clergyman, who attempted to offer a prayer over the dying man, was rudely pushed back, despite the mute appeal of the upturned eyes of the victim. The mob has complete control of the streets, and evidently desire an outbreak. As Hackett's body over 600 Spaniards are said to have been killed among them a Brigadier-General, supposed to be Mandinna. Since then another heavy encounter has taken place, and considerable trepidation prevails at headquarters. Three men-of-war were ordered to see in great hasts, doubtless to relieve and pick up isolated detachments near the coast. Re-inforcements from Spain are being got ready. The yellow fever is raging among the 20,000 men brought out last winter. Gen. Martinez Campos is reduced to a mastery state of inactivity from the condition of the troops. Discontent is rampant among all classes of people. The financial stringency is becoming serious.
Counterfeiting Brazilian Notes.
New York, July 14.
H.T.D.Aquair, the Brizillian Consul General in New York, called on Superintendent Walling on the 28th of June last, and asked his assistance in checking a system of counterfeiting Brazilian notes, which has been going on here. Bills are sent to this country in large quantities, and being well executed, are readily disposed of. Detectives looking up the case succeeded yesterday in arresting a man, giving the name of John K.Harris, aged 37,a dentist by occupation.In his room were found several engraved plates and photographs of Brazilian bills of all denominations.Harris, who has several aliases, confessed that he had been engaged successfully in the business was a resident of Brazil until recently, but having lost $8000 due to failure of one of their banks,came here to get square with them.
Axtell's Conversion to Mormonism.
New York, July 14.
The Sun's Washington special says that Axtell's conversion to Mormonism is likely to cost him his place as Governor of New Mexico,and break the ring which the Sun attacked two years ago.Frederick Lockley, editor of the Salt Lake Tribune writes as follows on this subject: When Axtell arrived at Salt Lake as Governor of Utah,the leading priests received and carried him to the Mormon hotel where his board and whisky bills amounting to $9 were paid by the City Council.He took a disgraceful part in
tendent of Public Schools, Mr. John K. Brierly is conceded to be the ablest man mentioned for that position, and as he is popular, there is every reason to believe that he will be elected. It is a common saying "What John Brierly hasn't in his head, he carries in his pocket." Mr. H. H. Barclay, for District Attorney, and Dr. Hoffman for Coroner, seem to have a clear track. Mr. R. D. Pitt, for Assemblyman, and Mr. Geo Peck for Sup't of Schools, and also N. L. Coon, for Assemblyman, do not seem to have much strength in Los Angeles, which is also the case in this part of the county. While these gentlemen may be of spotless integrity, we have nothing to say of them personally; it is well known that they are not the strongest men that can be selected, and for this reason alone they should not be nominated. They have no following in this section whatever. The disaffection that was threatened on account of the removal of Mr. Bent, as postmaster, is not entirely silenced, but merely held in abeyence on account of the party. As the present incumbent has no following or influence, the representative of the party are willing to allow him to strut temporarily in the grandeur and glory of his brother-in-law's influence. Postmaster and Treasury Agent is a pretty good price for an apostate, with a paper thrown in. Mr. Stephens seemed to have the greatest strength among the Democracy for the office of County Judge. The latter are of the opinion that the present incumbent is going to "bolt" the regular ticket and run independent. This will leave a walk-over for Mr. Ellis, the probable Republican nominee. Mr. H. M. Mitchell, the popular Democratic candidate for Sheriff, was in town again last week. He is making a final canvas and feels confident of receiving the nomination. He will run Mr. H. C. Wiley, his Republican opponent, a very close race. Judge Holloway, was also in town. He will receive the Democratic nomination for the Assembly. Mr. Hilton is the only man that can beat him in this end of the county.
The paragraph in regard to school matters in our last letter, had no reference to the present efficient Principal of the schools of this district, but referred only to the general management of monetary and other affairs, which has hitherto obtained in this district. The Trustees, under whose administration Mr. Hewitt served, concede the fact that the schools were never in a better condition than when under his charge.
There were 78 votes cast last Saturday at the Republican primary. Mr. J. H. Moesser received 78 votes; M. A. Peters, 76; James McFadden, 55; D. H. Collins, 54; M. A. Cobler, 23; C. P. Snyder, 22. The first four gentlemen were elected delegates to the Republican County Convention, to be held on the 28th of the present month.

A Padre's Revenge.
Above the door of the old Catholic Parish Church in this city, appears the dedication, "Los Fieles de esta Parroquia a la Raina de los Angeles," (the Faithful of this Parish to the Queen of the Angles.) We have italicized the word faithful, because thereby hangs a tale. In the year 1863, then Parish Priest made up his mind that the old adobe place of worship should be renovated and improved, that a new front should be put on it and a new shingle roof take the place of the heavy tiles that were bearing down the old rafters. He at once put his project in operation, and started out to raise by subscription the money necessary to pay for the alterations. The memorable dry year was on, and the men rich in their thousands of cattle and broad acres were in great distress. The live stock of the county had almost been decimated, and the poorest wore in effect the richest, for they had no losses to
New York, July 13.
A telegram just received from the correspondent of the New York Times at Bucharest, says that the losses sustained by the Russian army in their recent operations south ed to aid him. He was struck by one of the mob, whereupon he fired several shots, and simultaneously received the fire of the pack. One shot struck him in the forehead, when he fell bleeding on the sidewalk, but shots were still fired at him, and nobody went to his assistance, until a policeman placed him in an express wagon and took him away. A Protestant clergyman who attempted to offer a prayer over the dying man was rudely pushed back, despite the mute appeal of the upturned eyes of the victim. The mob has complete control of the streets, and evidently desire an outbreak. As Hackett's body was driven off, some of the inhuman roughs waived their hats with a triumphant air. Some other persons were seriously hurt. Another eye-witness tells substantially the same stores as to Hackett's murder, but gives the details as telegraphed in the afternoon, regarding the trouble with the woman who wore the Orange colors. A crowd is watching at the depot in expectation of giving a warm reception to the Orange young Britons who went to Cornwall. They will not, however, return till to-morrow. The city is in a ferment, thousands congregating and trouble being expected at a point near St. Charles, where the Frange dinner occurs. The Prince of Wales Rifles are ordered there for protection.
The Montreal Trouble.
Montreal, July 13.
All is now quiet in the city. Some of the Young Britons returned to-night from Cornwall, and the remainder will arrive tomorrow. A deputation, consisting of the Presidents of St. George and St.Andrew's Irish Protestant Benevolent Societies, waited on the Mayor last evening, asking him to call out the military. He declined, saying that the police were competent for the performance of their duty. The military were called out by the Deputy Adjutant-General, on his own authority. Boone, who was reported as wounded in the riot, died last night.
Matters on the Danube.
London, July13.
A Vienna correspondent denies that there will be a meeting between the Emperor of Germany and Austria this year, and confirms the statement that a convention has been concluded between Servia and Roumania. He says that the Servains hesitate until the Roumanian army shall have established itself on the Turkish side of the Danube. It is not probable that this hesitation on the part of Servia will restrain the Prince of Roumania from any contemplated action. The present movement is thought to be favorable for crossing the Danube, as it is supposed at Roumanian headquarters that a portion of the garrison at Widden has been sent to Nikopolis and is kept in check there by the Russian column dispatched against that town.

The Orange Riot.
Halifax, July 17.
The counsel for Great Britain before the Fishery commission is busily engaged in preparing an answer to the American case, filed last Saturday. The minister of marine here is assisting at Charlottown, Prince Edward Island.
Last evening, after the Orangemen had been dismissed, several members stood in front of all the lodge room were greeted with a shower of stones from roughs on the street. Another volley of stones followed and a pistol shot from the lodge room wounded one of of its assailants.-Great excitement ensued.
Volley after volley of rocks were answered by about twenty shots from the lodge rooms. Two uen were wounded by bullets and one was severely hurt in the head by a stone.

Los Angeles," (the Faithful of this Parish to the Queen of the Angeles.) We have italicized the word faithful, because thereby hangs a tale. In the year 1863, the then Parish Priest made up his mind that the old adobe place of worship should be renovated and improved, that a new front should be put on it and a new shingle roof take the place of the heavy tiles that were bearing down the old rafters. He at once put his project in operation, and started out to raise by subscription the money necessary to pay for the alterations. The memorable dry year was on, and the men rich in their thousands of cattle and broad acres were in great distress. The live stock of the county had almost been decimated, and the poorest were in effect the richest, for they had no losses to deplore. When the worthy padre approached our men of representative wealth of that day they treated him very curtly. They thought it very inconsiderate that he should want to modernize and beautify the church at such a time, and dismissed him without a marveled. He then turned to his poor parishioners and told them that they must come into the gap, and, by their small contributions, show that the City of the Queen of Angeles was not unworthy of its divine patroness. Thus stimulated, the poor came forward with their little offerings, and the work laid out was accomplished. What was the astonishment of some of the well-off persons who had repulsed the good Father from their counting rooms to see the terms of the dedication inscribed above the entrance of the church. It read: "Los pobres del parroquia," etc; (the poor of the parish of Los Angeles;) and this remained as a tribute for many years above the great portal of the old church.—Express.
When the Burman Ambassadors arrived at their hotel in Paris at 3 o'clock in the morning the waiters were not prepared for an assault at that hour by a very eccentric-looking group of people. One of the embassy who gave the address, "Maha Zayathoo," was told by the house porter that he was using double-meaning language. The interpreter arrived in time to prevent trouble, matters were explained, and the police retired saluting their Burman Excellencies.
A very precise person, remarking upon Shakespeare's lines, "The good that men do is often interred with their bones," carefully observed that this interment can generally take place without crowding the houses.

New York, July 13.
A telegram just received from the correspondent of the New York Times at Bucharest, says that the losses sustained by the Russian army in their recent operations south of the Danube, are much more serious than admitted by the Russian authorities. As they advance in the districts of Bulgaria, just occupied by Turkish forces, they found it desolate and waste. The corn crops are not yet ready to be gathered, and all grain in the storehouses has been destroyed. Every head of cattle has been seized and run off by the retreating Turks. So complete and wide spread is the general devastation in Bulgaria that every Russian train sent to the front has to carry stores of supplies, not only for the army but for the starving population. Reports to the contrary of this are wholly untrue, and are put forth with the specific object of presenting the campaign and condition of the army in a more favorable light than circumstances warrant, and in order to avert the conclusion that all this must, in short, seriously hamper the operations of the invading forces.
Dispatches by telegraph received through private sources confirm the news of Turkish victories at Kars and other disasters to the Russian army in Asia Minor.

Key West, July 13.
A gentleman who has just returned from Havana says that it is reported that, on the 5th of July, Gens. Maximo Gomoz and Vincent Garel, leading a very large army, forced Torca and invaded Cinco Villas territory. A battle was fought at the crossing, in which committed. They, as Orangemen, will henceforth not only claim but exercise the right to parade in the streets of Montreal. Further, no threats of enemies, entreaties of false friends, or no influence of counsels in the future will be regarded.
The resolution also condemns the action of the Mayor, after a sworn application made before him and other magistrates for civil and military protection, and holding His Worship morally guilty of murder. An indignation meeting will be held. A call will be made on the Mayor to immediately resign. The matter will also be taken up in the City Council. The Protestant press condemn him severely. Stephen J. Meany, on behalf of the Irish Catholic Union, disclaims any sympathy between that Society and yesterday's troubles.
Many of the roughs engaged in the affray of Thursday are supposed to be strangers, some coming from New York State. One witness says that the head of the Catholic Union wanted to buy one hundred revolvers, on Wednesday, from a hardware merchant. The men, absent without leave; from a large establishment, yesterday, have been dismissed.

A dispatch from Kars, dated July, 8th, says that Muktar Pasha, with 18 field and six mountain guns, 500 regulars, 3,500 irregular cavalry a 30 battalions entered Kars yesterday. There was very heavy firing on both sides. The Russian headquarters are at Zaim, eight miles to the northeast, but their battalions advanced to within 4,000 yards on the east. The Turkish loss during the siege, has been trifling; that of the Russians is unknown. Their fire was most accurate, and for some days has been overwhelming. Over 2,000 shells, from 15 and 18 centimetre guns, were thrown into the place in one day. Mukhtar Pasha proposes to entrench himself and re-victual Kars for the winter. At present it is well supplied with stores and ammunition. The troops are enthusiastic;the officers are well educated, and the place is almost impregnable. A dispatch from Erzeroum states that the attempt of the Russians under General Terguskissoff to relieve the Russian garrison at Bayezid has failed. The Russians after suffering a severe loss, retreated to Mount Ararat were they were again defeated. The Turks took many prisoners and six guns. A new Turkish army is to be raised for the defence of the Balkans.
London, July 16.
There is trustworthy news from the armies in Bulgaria. Recent special dispatches announcing that great battles were progressing there prove groundless. The position in Asia Minor is tolerably clear. Muktar Pasha is at Kars with about 36,000 men, all told, including the Kars garrison. General Melikoff is at Zoum with about 35.,000 men, but his force is superior to that of the Turks in cavalry and artillery. The garrison at Batoum has made no important movement, as far as reported, since Okiobschi's retreat.
The Russians still hold Arlinan, the Turks having withdrawn all their troops from the Montenegrin frontier except the garrison of ports and block houses. Prince Nicholas is preparing to besiege Nicsic again. The official declarations of Austria's neutrality continue to be issued in answer to the report persistently circulated to the contrary.

WASHINGTON, July 16.
Major Walsh, of the Canadian Mounted Police, visited Sitting Bull near the headquarters of Frenchman's creek. Sitting Bull said he desired to remain with the Canadians during the Summer; that he would do nothing against the law; that he came there because he was tired of fighting, and if he could not make a living in Canada would return to the United States. Spotted Eagle, Rain-in-the-face, Medicine Bear, and a number of other chiefs of the hostile Sioux were present, together with about 200 lodges of Indians. They were told that they would be allowed ammunition for hunting purposes, and, should any of their people cross to the American side and commit any depredations, the chiefs would be held responsible and punished. The Canadian Indians are opposed to having these hostile Sioux on their side of the boundary line, as they are at war with them. In the event of the United States Government demanding the hostiles, the mounted police, only three hundred men, would be insufficient to drive them out of the country. The hostile Indians have a good supply of arms, horses and ponies, but little or no ammunition, and no Indian can obtain ammunition from traders in British territory without an order from the military commander. This order is not given except for a quantity sufficient to supply the immediate needs of hunting in case the Indian is actually suffering for food. The Canadian authorities look upon the United States horses, mules and arms in their possession as spoils of war. It is believed that there some four or five hundred lodges of hostile Sioux now north of the boundary line, numbering at least 1,500 fighting men. They intend to move south of the Yellowstone.
