RAILROAD ITEM FROM RIVERSIDE.From the Press.The Press takes considerable delight in presenting a most important piece of railroad news to its readers to-day.In brief it is as follows: The Southern Pacific has acquired a right of way over the track of the Southern California railway from Riverside to Orange,and will at once put on a full service of trains from Colton to San Pedro via Orange.Surveyors have already fixed grades for connections a short distance south of Fourteenth street, where the Southern Pacific at present terminates,and we have it from pretty good authority that work will begin at once on the connections.The move as indicated above is undoubtedly due to the prospect of contracts being let immediately for the improvement of the San Pedro harborIt would be impossible for the Southern Pacific to build a connecting line by the time stone from the Casa Blanca quarries would be required,and as the Santa Fe has no connections at San Pedro it would the more readily consent to a deal with its rival.A more pacific feeling has of late existed between the two great roads,and the announcement of this deal will not be an entire surprise to those who have watched the trend of events the past few weeks.The Riverside-Pomona line is being pushed with all possible expedition,and it will not be long before the citizens of this city can go to San Pedro and Los Angeles over the Southern Pacific line,and that,too without circling around Colton.

The Santa Fe is repairing its bridge over the Santiago creek. The company has of late inaugurated the policy of building more substantial bridges and has already built over half a dozen of steel over several of the rivers in Southern California. But as they are quite expensive the company has to go slow and build them first where they are most needed and where there is least likelihood of their washing out. One of the greatest obstacles to bridge building in this State is the ever-changing course of its rivers. SUGAR BEET NOTES FROM CHINO. From the Champion. In an interview with W. A. Connolly of the agricultural department of the factory yesterday, we were informed that the close of this week will see practically all the seed for this year's beet crop in the ground and the planting virtually done. A few fields may yet remain to be planted on the Chino ranch; at Anaheim and at Hueneme, however, planting has been finished some dayt. The acreage is practically 6800 at Chino, 4000 at Anaheim and 1212 at Hueneme, making 12,000 acres planted for a supply for the sugar factory this year. This is much the largest acreage the factory has yet contracted for, and its present condition assures an immense crop. Thinning is now well under way, though yet later than usual on the Chino ranch. Of the total acreage for the factory, 5100 acres are now thinned. Of this, 2000 acres are on the Chino ranch, 2800 acres at Anaheim and 300 acres at Hueneme. Thinning is now on in full force here, and thinners are in demand. Mr. Connolly says that the wire worms which had been working on some fields, have about stopped, and have done but little damage. On some of the fields where they had apparently stripped the foliage, the leaves are now growing out, and a fairly good stand will remain. Not more than 50 or 60 acres have been replanted because of the worms. The present warm weather has apparently stopped their ravages, much to the relief of the farmers, who had feared them. Remarkable success has attended the crop so far, and Mr. Connolly says the outlook for it is excellent—by far the best we have ever had, and he thinks we can easily count on harvesting 60,-000 tons from the Chino ranch. From present indications, harvest will commence earlier than had been anticipat- ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, MAY 20, 1897. MUSIC? and should be pleased to.

WHAT THE CAMERA SAYS Shows Fitzsimmons Fouled Corbett at the Carson Fight. NEW YORK, May 15.—Those who saw the vitascope pictures of the recent Carson mill at the exhibition tonight saw the foul that Manager Brady has always insisted occurred. Fitzsimmons has stated that the stomach punch was accomplished with a right-hand feint and a "left shift." With all due respect to Mr. Fitzsimmons, it may be stated that he is mistaken. The pictures are as clean cut as so many cameos, and they speak louder than words. When the knock-out came Corbett was sliding forward in a knock-kneed sort of shuffle. He had grown strong since the sixth round, and was on the aggressive. Suddenly Corbett lunges out with his left. Fitzsimmons ducks to the right. In the picture you can see Corbett's left arm like a bolt of iron over Fitzsimmons' left shoulder. NEW DISTRICT ROAD LAW The Eustire System to be Completely Revolutionized—Each District to be Governed by Three Trustees On and after June 1, 1897, the following will be the law of California with respect to roads in country districts: All existing road districts are recognized as such, and in any counties where no such districts have been formed the supervisors must proceed of their own motion to create them. New districts may be formed by the supervisors at any time between October 1st and the 1st day of March next succeeding, upon petition of not less than one-fourth of the resident freeholders of the proposed district. The present year they may be so formed after June 1st and before March 1, 1898. Boundaries of districts may be changed only during the months when new districts may be formed, except that two or more contiguous districts may be consolidated at any time upon a petition of the majority of the electors. Before acting in these matters the supervisors must give due notice and public hearing and may thereafter act at their own discretion. Each road district will have three trustees. The election for trustees will occur on the last Saturday in May of each year, the first election under the law occurring on the last Saturday in May, 1898. At the first election three trustees will be chosen, for one, two and three years respectively, and thereafter one trustee will be chosen each year. In case of vacancy supervisors appoint for the unexpired term. Terms of office begin July 1st in each year. Each trustee receives $25 annual, and the clerk $50. One trustee, to be designated by his colleagues, is to collect the poll tax, receiving 15 per cent thereof for his services. Any person may work out his tax at $2 per day of eight hours. Whether the trustee who SNAP SHOTS AT THE NEW Purple scale on citrus trees is said to be bad at Downey. The Orange trustees have instructed their attorney to draft an ordinance pealing the city poll tax. The total amount of delinquent taxes for 1896, according to the figures of the county tax collector, is given as $993 90—$690 65 less than for the preceding year. The number of delinquents is greater than in 1895, but the individual amounts are smaller. W. B. Bradbury, the aged San Francisco capitalist, who was fined a short time ago for expectorating in a street car, was again arrested last week for the same offense. He insists upon his right to expectorate in a car, and announces his intention of carrying the case to the Supreme Court if necessary. The farmers of California have a little more than thirty-one months to prepare for the new wide-tire law, which takes effect on January 1, 1900. The requirements are: For 14-inch inch axle; 3-inch tire; 21-inch tire; 28 axle; 4-inch tire; 28 axle; 4-inch tire; 24-inch axle; 5-inch tire; 3 or 4-inch axle; 54-inch tire; 4-inch axle; larger; 6-inch tire. The penalty for each time smaller tires are used in roads is $25 to $500 fine or imprisonment in the county jail. Three children of George Campbell a Sonoma county farmer, are recovering from the effects of poisonous dyes. The children took the sardine to school for lunch and several hours after eating them were taken ill. Physician was summoned and recounted it to be a case of poisoning. Two of the children were relieved, but the oldest boy, having eaten more than ten others, was in a serious condition and at one time hopes for his recovery we slight.

A squad of fifteen members of National Guard, carrying guards fixed bayonets, demanded admission to the grounds, allowing them at one time hopes for his recovery without slight. All, however, are now out of danger. Samuel W. Emmons, a Southern Pacific flagman, sacrificed his life at Oakland last Friday, while warning a group of persons at the pier of an approaching train. The accident occurred at the wagon crossing on the mole, just by yonding the eastern approach to the ferry depot. A party of four men walk along the roadway, not noticing any proach of the train. In his anxiety he save them from an accident, Emmons did not observe a local train that was backing down, and stepped aside avoid another train, right in front of the local. The brakeman on her car yelled, but the car struck the white haired flagman with terrific force, franturing his skull. He fell in such a way that the wheels only caught his right foot, otherwise he would have been mangled horribly. Emmons was 10 years of age. He never recovered consciousness. Laura A. Bingham of Oakland man tried her son loves and now there is trouble, for her mother, Mrs. E. McCord of Fruitvale, was not taken in secret of her daughter's marital venture. Last Sunday evening young lady was married to R Torres, a young man for whom girl's mother had no liking. After marriage the parties separated and went home. Mrs. McCord read notice of the marriage in new papers, and then there was trouble for young people. Torres decided take his wife away, and the bride mother swore out a warrant for a rest of Torres on the charge of kidnapping. Constable Weldon discovered young couple driving and prepare to serve warrants. He soon became convinced that the girl was of legal age and declined arrest Torres. Mr McCord appeared upon the scene and tried to drag her daughter from its buggy, but Torres finally drove off triumph with his bride. They leave for the East in a few days.

Connolly cultural department of the afternoon, we were informed about this week will see all the seed for this year's crop on the ground and the planty done. A few fields may be planted on the Chino Anaheim and at Hueneme, planting has been finished. The acreage is practically in Chino, 4000 at Anaheim and ename, making 12,000 acres needed for a supply for the early this year. This is much acreage the factory has yet to for, and its present condition is an immense crop. It is now well under way, but later than usual on the day. Of the total acreage for 5100 acres are now thinned. 300 acres are on the Chino Anaheim and at Hueneme. Thinning is now force here, and thinners are Connolly says that the wire which had been working on them have about stopped, and about little damage. On some sites where they had apparently stopped their much to the relief of the man who feared them. The success has attended the Mr. Connolly says the it is excellent—by far the life ever had, and he thinks only count on harvesting 60,- from the Chino ranch. Fromifications, harvest will come than had been anticipat- A Man Who Is Tired All the time, owing to impoverished blood should take Hood's Sarsaparilla to purify and enrich his blood and give him vitality and vigor. This condition of weakness and lack of energy is a natural consequence of the coming of warmer weather, which finds the system debilitated and the blood impure. A good spring medicine is a necessity with almost every one. Hood's Sarsaparilla is what the millions take in Spring. Its great power to purify and enrich the bloody and build up health is one of the facts of common experience. About dusk three negro boys, sons of colored coal miners who work in and about the big Northern Pacific coal mines, at Roslyn, called at the house and asked for a drink of water. The water was brought and then the colored lads, who had all the time been peeking about to see if the children were home, made a dash to get inside. The Rader children tried to keep them out, but were overpowered and terribly frightened. Once inside the house the colored boys started to make a prisoner of the little girl. The brother protested and was slapped in the face and kicked. He began to cry with anger and fear, but when he saw the negoes tearing his sister's clothes and binding her arms he rushed to a side door and grabbed an ax. He made for the two colored boys who were holding his sister and tried to brain them. The ax was heavy, and the boy's arms were weak, so he could not strike quick enough to kill the negroes. He partially drew their attention from his sister, however, and while they were subduing and throwing Willie out of doors Ella regained her strength and nearly escaped. After Willie had been locked out of doors the girl tore herself away, jumped out of the window and fled to the woods. All the time Willie was outside shouting and screamig for help at the top his voice. Ella was followed by the negroes, who finally overtook her when she was thoroughly exhausted. By this time Willie's shouts had brought his father, who drove off the negroes and saved his daughter. He did not report the matter until to-day, when Harrison Brown, Chris McCaulley and Harrison Bevens, aged twelve, fourteen and fifteen, respectively, the assailants, were arrested. The officers kept them secreted, fearing a lynching party, and will endeavor to lodge them safely in Ellensburg jail. Section 23 of the act explicitly states that "all powers and duties by this act conferred upon road districts and their officers and which are by any law enacted prior to and existing at the time of the taking effect of this act conferred upon road overseers or road commissioners or Boards of Supervisors or other officers shall be deemed withdrawn by this act from the officers last named and conferred exclusively upon road districts and their officers." This explicit provision may lead to some curious results. The above are the essential features of the new law and all that need be known for its intelligent discussion. The entire act occupies sixteen pages of print and is too long to reproduce in full. It states in detail what is concisely stated above, includes the usual minute directions for the conduct of elections and meetings. The only thing stated in the above abstract not found in the law approved April 1st is the statement that the Supervisors will continue to levy a general road tax. That provision is found in existing law, and also in a new act approved March 31st, and is one of the few things apparently not repealed by the act signed the next day. The act approved March 31st went into effect immediately and is the law now. The act provided next day has no such provision and goes into effect at the end of the statutory period of sixty days, which brings it to June 1st, just three days after the time when an election for road trustees could be legally held this year. Pomona has the most remarkable high-license liquor ordinance known California, which provides for licensing two saloons, each to pay $1,000 per year in advance. The saloon keeper must give bonds to the amount of $5,000 that shall be forfeited in case he falls behind the law under which he is licensed. The saloons must be run in single apartments with no annexes or windows. In buildings fronting on street Half of the front of the saloon must be glass, no painted or frosted glass screens being allowed. The view from the street to the bar must be free of unobstructed and no billiards, cards any game whatever played there. One seat, that for the barkeeper, will be allowed, and even casks must not permitted for customers to lean on on. There must be no back doors windows. The saloon-keeper will feel his license and bonds if he seizes liquor to any minor or woman, or a man, concerning whom there has been complaint by his wife, sister, daughter mother or son, or if the man is habitual drinker. A barkeeper may hire, but he must be approved of by the city council as a respectable citizen. The saloons must be open from 5 a.m. to 4 p.m. on weekdays pain of immediate forfeiture of bond Notwithstanding these stringent regulations there are many who are anxious to take out licenses. The sugar-beet seed which the Agricultural Department of Washington been distributing—none of which, however, so far as we have heard from, has been sent to California—is practiced exhausted, to ten thousand pounds having been sent out to farmers about four-fifths of the States. The seed has been distributed in packages of from one ounce to half a pound purely for experimental purposes. The beets grown from the seed will be analyzed and the saccharine matter terminated, to ascertain where beets can be profitably grown for the production sugar. These experiments, it is said will be of immense value, as the beets doubtedly can be produced with precision in many of the States. Wherever can be so produced it will give farmers a new crop. The surplus vetted table seed in the possession of Agricultural Department is being distributed through Congressmen government agency, to people in flooded districts along the Mississippi for planting as soon as the waters sway side.

Seventeen years ago Mrs. Van Ness was compelled to place her three-year-old boy in a Leavenworth Home for friendless children, her husband having died and left her with a big family. William was adopted by a family named Locke and taken to Central Illinois, where he lived for seven years. At ten years of age he left home, going to Missouri. He worked at Lamont, Mo., until a few days ago, when he first learned of the whereabouts of his mother. At the obsequies of the late ex-Senator Richard Coke at Waco, Tex., on Sunday, a bolt of lightning struck a tree near the grave, when hundreds were present to attend the burial. Ex-Governor R. B. Hubbard, one of the pall-bearers, was knocked to his knees, and ex-Governor Ross and a number of others were shocked severely. A number of teams ran away and there came near being a tragedy to end the sad occasion. The most elaborate preparations are being made to welcome William Jennings Bryan to Los Angeles July 4th. Invitations have been issued to the banquet, which will be made for 3,000 guests. These are issued in the name of the Silver Republican Club. Requests for a visit from Mr. Bryan are being received from many towns, but it is doubtful if he will make an appearance in any other place in Southern California. It is proposed that he be induced to make at least two addresses in Los Angeles. By the voluntary scratch of a pen, Henry Williams of San Francisco, president of the California Safe Deposit and Trust company, and father of Henry A. Williams of the firm of Williams, Brown & Co., is poorer by $168,000 than he was a week ago. The unsecured liabilities of the firm, instead of being $191,000 as stated, were $359,000, the difference being found in three notes aggregating $168,000 held by Henry Williams. The latter soon discovered that the unpledged assets would not nearly cover the liabilities if the notes held by him were allowed to go into the general account. was overtaken. The girl's father was away in the mountains, holding a revival. Her mother and sister are prostrated. The town is in a fever of excitement, and the jail is surrounded by angry citizens. Officers feared that they would be overpowered before morning, and the man taken out and lynched. He claims to have come from Santa Barbara, and to have worked in South San Francisco. Theodore Durrant, through his attorneys, asked Gov. Budd to pardon him on the ground that the real murderer of Blanche Lamont has at last confessed his crime. The lawyers declare that they have not been hoaxed, nor is it their purpose to impose upon the Executive. They insist that in the person of John Rosenberg, a convict at San Quinten prison, they have discovered the man who is guilty of the horrors of Emmanuel church. John Rosenberg made a sworn confession before the notary public and in the presence of several witnesses that he killed Blanche Lamont at the instigation of a stranger and in consideration of the payment of $700 for his bloody work. The story and its details are one of the most remarkable features that has developed in the long case. Rosenberg is a Russian sailor and arrived in San Francisco on a sailing vessel from Hamburg, Germany, during the last week of March or in the first week of April, 1895. He is now serving a term for horse-stealing and appears to be sane. The San Francisco police discredit the confession. Mrs. Arthur Scroggs, her daughter Ena and a governess, Miss Scoville, have been speeding to Europe on the American liner St. Louis for Southampton that left New York last Friday. Mrs. Scroggs believes implicitly that the body of her sailor husband is on the vessel, but it is not. Sealed in a metallic casket, the remains are in the morgue. They will probably be buried in a day or two in Potter's Field. Arthur Scroggs, 30 years old, who was owner and master of the steamship Spinster, was swept overboard off the coast of Vancouver Island. The body was recovered and taken to Victoria, B.C. Mrs. Scroggs wanted, the remains taken to England. The wild west show in Los Ante other night the crowd of conductors was treated to a bus feature that was not on the train.

By the voluntary scratch of a pen, Henry Williams of San Francisco, president of the California Safe Deposit and Trust company, and father of Henry A. Williams of the firm of Williams, Brown & Co., is poorer by $168,000 than he was a week ago. The unsecured liabilities of the firm, instead of being $191,000 as stated, were $359,000, the difference being found in three notes aggregating $168,000 held by Henry Williams. The latter soon discovered that the unpledged assets would not nearly cover the liabilities if the notes held by him were allowed to go into the general account. Unhampered, however, by these notes, the firm of Williams, Brown & Co., of which son was the sole partner, might pull through. Without a moment's hesitation the father cancelled the three bits of paper held by him. Macedonia Frausta, a seventeen-year-old boy of Manclova, Mexico, was in love with Anita Moya, the pretty daughter of a ranchman. The family of the girl opposed the marriage and Frausta determined to get possession of her by force. He armed himself with a rifle and started for her home. On the road he met Manuel Solis, manager of the hacienda, accompanied by the girl's brothers. The boy and the two men had some words, and Frausta deliberately shot and killed them both. Another brother of the girl arrived on the scene and he was promptly shot and killed. Before the boy got away from the scene of the crime Manuel Herrera came up and attempted his capture. Herrera was also killed. The murderer then proceeded to the girl's home and the two eloped and have not yet been captured. A hundred Irish girls, all described as pretty as Killarney lassies, none over 25 years and well versed in cooking, are expected to arrive in Los Angeles in a day or two from New York. They are a portion of the cargo of 500 recently landed at that port. A similar number are billed to San Francisco, and if these preliminary shipments are well received more will follow. The girls are being sent to this country by a society of philanthropic Irish women who desire to relieve over-populated regions of Ireland of surplus femininity. Mrs. Harriet Ayles, an Irish lady of quality with headquarters at the Westminster hotel, will have charge of the first lot of Kathleen Mavourneens. It is expected that they will readily displace the Japanese and Chinese as cooks and house servants, as the latter have owed their employment largely to the scarcity of good female servants who would work for reasonable pay. John Ray, ex-Sheriff of Carlisle county, Ky., is on a man hunt, in southeastern Missouri, searching for a man whose name he refuses to disclose. Five years ago his two daughters, aged 16 and 21, went blackberrying near Bardwell, Ky. Four hours later they were found dead. Their throats had been cut, and they had been outraged. Two thousand men scoured the country for the assailants. J. Seay Miller, a negro, was captured in Missouri; he confessed and was hanged at Bardwell by a mob composed of every white man in Carlisle county. The father of the girls concluded that more than one man was implicated in the killing of his children. Lately he found proof that confirmed his suspicion. He also found some clews which pointed at some white man. Ray declares that the negro lynched was only an accomplice. He traced the suspect to Mayfield, Ky. Last week the fugitive fled to Missouri, with Ray only a few hours behind him. The father is wrought up, and swears summary vengeance. Mrs. Arthur Scroggs, her daughter Ena and a governess, Miss Sooville, have been speeding to Europe on the American liner St. Louis for Southampton that left New York last Friday. Mrs Scroggs believes implicitly that the body of her sailor husband is on the vessel, but it is not. Sealed in a metallic casket, the remains are in norgue. They will probably be buried in a day or two in Potter's Field. Arthur Scroggs, 30 years old, who was owner and master of the steamship Spinster, was swept overboard off the coast of Vancouver Island. The body was recovered and taken to Victoria B.C. Mrs Scroggs wanted, the remains taken to England, as that was her husband's home, and it appears that she understood the undertaker at Vancouver would give directions to have the body shipped via New York to England. There was some mistake, however, and the undertaker billed the body to New York. It arrived Monday and after remaining at the depot for two days it was transferred to the morgue. Jeannine von Turkheim is not the only Nemesis who believes Von Arnold base. Lillian Ashley, who is playing the tragic role of avenging fate to E.J.Baldwin, believes she had a lucky escape from being taken out of the United States at Baldwin's behest. She now avers, and in the averment is corroborated by her sister Emma, that Von Arnold made love to her as Baron von Steinmetz at Los Angeles and attempted to woo her into forgetfulness of Baldwin's millions and his babe by the glitter of a distant crown. She made inquiries. The bogus baron's estate and his pretenses melt under the simple test of inspection. She preferred her present lot, and instead of leaving for Steinmetz with Von Arnold, went to San Francisco and registered at Baldwin's hotel as Mrs.Lay, betraying thereby an adaptability to circumstances not unequal to Von Arnold's. Miss Ashley hazards the opinion solely in hope of saving some other poor girl, that Von Arnold and his employers are villains. Some weeks ago Congress authorized the Secretary of the Navy to charter a steamship of American registry to convey contributions of food stuffs to the famine stricken districts of India.

President Ripley of the Santa Fe railway company has issued an order that will oblige all persons connected with the company to confine their interests to those ofthe corporation.All officials and employees are forbidden Nana has the most remarkable defense liquor ordinance known in America, which provides for licensing, each to pay $1,000 per year once. The saloon keeper must hand to the amount of $5,000 that he forfeited in case he fails to meet the law under which he is licensed. The saloons must be run in single units with no annexes or wings buildings fronting on streets. At the front of the saloon must be no painted or frosted glass or being allowed. The view from the bar must be free and instructed and no billiards, cards or games whatever played there. But, at least, that for the barkeeper, will be used, and even casks must not be used for customers to lean or sit there must be no back doors or windows. The saloon-keeper will forbid license and bonds if he sells any minor or woman, or any concerning whom there has been a court by his wife, sister, daughter, or son, or if the man is a drinker. A barkeeper may be about the must be approved of by the council as a respectable citizen. The saloons must be open only a.m. to 4 p.m. on week days on immediate forfeiture of bonds. Distinguishing these stringent regulations there are many who are anxious about licenses. Sugar-beet seed which the Agri-Department of Washington has distributing—none of which, however far as we have heard from, has meant to California—is practically used, about ten thousand pounds been sent out to farmers in four-fifths of the States. The seeds have been distributed in packages in one ounce to half a pound, for experimental purposes. The brown from the seed will be anand the saccharine matter desired, to ascertain where beets can suitably grown for the production of these experiments, it is said, of immense value, as the beet unfully can be produced with profit of the States. Wherever it is so produced it will give the new crop. The surplus vegetated in the possession of the Cultural Department is being dislodged through Congressmen or government agency, to people in the districts along the Mississippi coast as soon as the waters subside. Van Ness, aged 20 years, was mother, Mrs. E.C. Van Ness, limited at Dodge City, Kan., after separated for seventeen years. An arrest at Topeka had accidentally knowledge of the young man's death. Then throat had been cut, and they had been outraged. Two thousand men scoured the country for the assailants. J. Seay Miller, a negro, was captured in Missouri; he confessed and was hanged at Bardwell by a mob composed of every white man in Carlisle county. The father of the girls concluded that more than one man was implicated in the killing of his children. Lately he found proof that confirmed his suspicion.

The corpses of two negresses, Tillie Smith and Mandy White, dangled from the limb of a live oak tree just on the outskirts of the village of Jeff, Ala., early Wednesday morning. They were hanged during the night for poisoning Joshua Kelly, a well-known citizen. They confessed to two attempts on the lives of the family. The first attempt resulted in the death of Mr. Kelly. Nine weeks ago the first attempt on the lives of the family was made. The family sickened shortly after eating supper, and Joshua Kelly died twenty-four hours afterward. On May 1 the family and tenants of the deceased were poisoned in some mysterious manner. Six whites and eight negroes were affected. A clerk in a store who came near dying from the other poisoning, and a Tennessee drummer, who spent the night with them, were two other victims. Incriminating evidence was found and a clew in the shape of a box of poison led to the detection of the negresses. The premises were searched and underneath the kitchen was found a box of poison. It was stamped with the trade mark of D.E. & J.E.Kelly, the grocers at Jeff. The poison, which was rough on rats, was placed in the biscuits, of which all the affected ate. The lynching was participated in by a mob of twenty or thirty persons. Patrick Flaherty, a tramp, was jailed at San Miguel on Saturday afternoon for an alleged felonious assault upon Friedricka Judy, the thirteen-year-old daughter of the Rev.Martin Judy. The clergyman's two daughters and two other girls, while wading in Salinas river, were suddenly accosted by the tramp, who so frightened them that they ran away. Friedricka was caught and thrown down. One of her companions ran to a mill a quarter of a mile away, and telephoned for assistance. Citizens went in pursuit of the tramp, who attempted to escape, but the girl, bruised, dazed and partially denuded, followed him some distance, and he was trailed along the river for a mile to the slaughter-house where he could not be found. There is no American vessel available that will hold 15,000 tons. The only vessel that could hold so large a cargo is the Hamburg-American line steamship Pennsylvania. The thing to be done, apparently, as the Secretary of the Navy is not empowered to engage more than one vessel, is to see if the British authorities will not provide a vessel to take the larger part of the corn, while the American vessel takes the remainder. President Ripley of the Santa Fe railway company has issued an order that will oblige all persons connected with the company to confine their interests to those of the corporation. All officials and employees are forbidden from engaging in any other business occupying part of their time or attention without his sanction. In particular employees of the purchasing or equipment departments are prohibited from having any private interests which may give suspicion that their neutrality in their treatment of the patrons of the line is not observed. Ripley encourages the investment of employers' savings along the lines of the road so long as it does not affect their official actions. In cases where officers or employees already possess investments which might be construed to influence their official action, and cannot dispose of them save at a sacrifice, they are ordered to report them to the general manager, who will make recommendations. In the past in Southern California there have been officers of the line interested in town and land companies to such an extent that at one time, about 1887, it was seriously proposed to abandon the road through Pasadena and use a "cut-off" line that would leave that city a couple of miles off the main line, for the purpose of booming another place. It is to remove the stigma of such occurrences and to prevent even a suspicion of their recurrence that the order is issued. The Best Remedy for Rheumatism. From the Fairhaven, N.Y., Register. Mr James Rowland of this village states that for twenty-five years his wife has been a sufferer from rheumatism. A few nights ago she was in such pain that she was nearly crazy. She sent Mr.Rowland for the doctor, but he had read of Chamberlain's Pain Balm and instead of going for the physician he went to the store and secured a bottle of it. His wife did not approve of Mr.Rowland's purchase at first, but nevertheless applied the Balm thoroughly and in an hour's time was able to go to sleep. She now applies it whenever she feels an ache or pain and finds that it always gives relief. He says that no medicine which she had used ever did her as much good.
