A PRECIOUS PACKAGE, And the Trouble Caused Decauee It Was Unchecked. Yesterday morning Mrs. 0. W. Ryan "went down to the Commercial Street Depot to board the San Pedro train, for she was booked to San Diego, and carried with her a ticket authorizing passage to that place by the "City of Puebla." She had for baggage a trunk and a bundle, which was wrapped in a rice mat, similar to those in which tea is imported to this country from China.

Owing to the fact that the Commercial Street Depot is only an accommodation station no baggage can be checked there, but when the train came along Mrs. Ryan's trunk was lifted into the baggage car according to custom. "You may as well put your bundle in there, too," said Detective McCarthy, who was standing by; "it will be perfectly safe," he added, as he handed it to the baggage-master, who laid it upon the floor of the car. Mrs. Ryan took her seat in one of the coaches, and just before the train pulled out a number of Chinamen appeared upon the scene and handed in their bundles to the baggagnmaster.

who piled them up by the side of tbe trunks. When the train stopped at Florence tbe Mongolians alighted, received their property and trotted off in the direction of Baldwin's Ranch, to which place they were destined for grape-picking. The train steamed on, and on its arrival at San Pedro, Mrs. Ryan appeared to claim her baggage. The trunk was promptly handed out and then the baggageman turned to attend to something else.

"Where is my bundle?" said Mrs. Ryan. "What bundle?" asked the bluecoated official. "The one given to you at the Commercial-street depot was the response. The baggageman knew nothing of it, and the only explanation he could give for its disappearance was that probably it had been claimed by one of the Chinamen at Florence, and that he had of course given it out inasmuch as it was wrapped in and without means of identification.

Mrs. Ryan had evidently lost something very valuable, for she left the City of San Puebla go on to San ego without her and returned to Los Angeles on the next train. There she proceeded to tbe railroad headquarters and laid bare her grievance. She said that the bundle contained a silver watch, gold bracelet, breastpin, black cross, gold rings, teapot and other valuable articles, the total value of which she estimated at $200. When a by-stander temarked that it was a careless manner in which to take about such valuable property' she replied that she thought they would be perfectly safe that way.

The railroad people promised to do all they could in the matter and commenced investigations forthwith. Of course no one blames the baggagemaster for his action in the matter, and as the whereabouts of the Chinamen are known the prospects of recovering the lost property are very good. REGISTRATION. A Further Opinion of the District Attorney. In order tbat the registration questions might be more definitely settled, County Clerk Dunsmoor yesterday addressed the following to District Attorney J.

R. Dupuy: Dear order to settle any question of doubt please give your written opinion on the following questions: 1. Can a person vote whose name is not on the printed Great Register in use atthepolh? 2. Will it bo the duty of Election Boards to reject the ballots offered by an elector whose name does not appear upon the printed register, but who presents a certificate from the County Clerk showing that his name is enrolled on the Great Register of this county Very respectfully, C. H.

Dunsmoor, County Clerk. To this the following reply was made: Mr. C. H. Duntmoor, County Clerk: Dear response to your inquiries filed herewith I have to say: I am of opinion that no person can vote at the approaching election whose name is not upon the Great Register.

Such person should have registered prior to October 2,1883. If the name of any voter has been entered on the Great Register prior to Octobet 2, 1888, but for some reason does not appear on the present register in use at the poles, he is entitled to have from you, the County Clerk, a certificate of the fact that his name does appear on tbe Great Register, and such elector may vote upon such certificate, for the reason that no elector can be deprived of his vote by either fraud, inadvertence or mistake, either in making out the list of voters or in printing the Great Register. In tbe written opinion handed you on yesterday, wherein I stated tbat I knew of no law authorizing any person to vote upon a certificate of the County Clerk of the fact that such person bad been theretofore registered, I was referring to a certificate of a registration subsequent to October 24,1888, and not to tbe registration prior to tbat date. second inquiry is, I believe, answered above. Very respectfully, J.

R. Dupuy, District Attorney. THE SCHOOLS. Nearly Six Thousand Pupils Already Enrolled. Up to yesterday there had been 5,654 pnpils enrolled in the public schools of this city, an increase of 780 since the report of the Census Marshal, when there were 4,874 pupils in the schools.

The schools are in consequence of this increase, more crowded than they have ever been before; but tbe Board of Education is about to build four new buildings, which will be some relief, although these will not do away with the double sessions which the Board has made every effort to do away with. When the last report of tbe Board of Education was made there were 119 classes in the city and of these seventy-three were only able to receive one-half day's tuition apiece, (since then one new school of four rooms has been built at Brooklyn Heights and contracts have been let for four buildings of four rooms each. When these are built tbe condition will not be much improved owing.to the increased attendance over last year; but from a lack of funds which the Board of Education has endeavored to obtain has prevented the proper supply of schools which the number of pupils demand. The St. Vincent Block.

The St. Vincent Hotel Company has disincorporated. This company was possessed of the block of land bounded by Sixth and Seventh and Fort and Hill streets, on the northern side of which is THE LOS ANGELES DAILY HERALD: FRIDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 5. 1888 army. The property has been subdivided and those who were members of the company have become owners of separate portions of the block.

Major Jones takes for his part of the block the portion on which stands the building. Mr. Hervey Lindley has an inside section. Major Bonebrake, Mr. J.

B. Lankershim, Mr. J. Howes and Mr. J.

Yesterday morning a number of people from Los Angeles, Santa Monica and Garvanza assembled at tbe race track to see a match decided between Mr.

Machell's Bacchus and Peyton Carter's Chestnut. The race was.for the best two out of three, half mile heats, in the first of which Mr. Baker rode the winner Chestnut, time Mr. Templar Allen being close up on Bacchus. It seemed to be the general opinion that the last named horse was hardly up to the weight (150 pounds) that he was carrying.

The second half mile was run in :54, Chestnut winning again hands down in spite of Mr. Templar Allen's riding. The Christian Church. The annual convention of the Christian Church has just concluded in this city and will meet at San Diego.
