stalled in the elegant Masonic Hall by Past
Grand Master Josiah 81. Drummond. The in
stallation exercises were of particularly in

large party Of ladies and gentlemen. Between
the installation of the different officers music of
an appropriate character was most charmingly
rendered by trio composed of Mrs. Weather
bee and Messrs. Shaw aud Thurston, accompa-
MED upon the organ by Kotzschmar. At the
conclusion of the exercises some pertinent re-
marks were made by Mr.. Drummond in regard
to the Lodge. at the conclusion of which the as

OF an elegant collation..

WAR AMONG THE EXPRESS
COMPANIES.

1t was reported some time ago that
q new phase of express business on
this coast would soon be inaugurated,
III consequence of the Inauguration, Of
q powerful company, or rather combi-
nation, ut San Francisco. The follow
ing from the last issue of the CONNER
ciaL Herald, states the particulars Of
the combination and furnishes the ma
ture of the contest:
'"The 18th Of the present month will
witness the inauguration of grand
war between nearly all the express
companies now in existence and GONE
which will then come into being. The
Central Pacific Railroad Company and
a number Of heavy capitalists will then
organize TN express company to be
called the Pacific Express, to go into
operation on the date mentioned. The
Pacific Union Railroad has organized
what is known as the Continental Ex-
press Company, and the two will coop
crate to do the overland express busi-
ness on the Pacific Railroad. In the
meantime, an arrangement has been
entered into between the Pacific rail-
road companies and Eastern connect
ing railroad companies, by means OF
which m effort will be made to force
the latter into transporting express
matter OF the Pacific and Continental
companies. Wells, Fargo & Co. have
been notified to quit transmitting by
the Pacific Railroad on the 18th, and
in concert with the United States, Ad-
ans & Co., and the American Express
companies viii contest the right Of the
Pacific Railroad to refuse express mat
..er, .nless sh.;.eDcd by the Pacific and
Continental Express companies. On
and after the date specified, all express
matter for East will be transmitted rs
fur rs Promontory by the Pacific Ex-
press Company, and thence to Omaha
by the Continental, whence it will be
forwarded to place of destination By
Eastern express companies and IN
the event Of their refusal, the connect
| ing railroads arc 10 be forced into do
| ing the business under the arrange
ment already alluded to. The Union
Pacific Express Company takes no ac-
tive part in the fight, but will be prob
ably incorporated with the Pacific at
some time not specified. Whatever
may be the termination of this grand
struggle, it is to be hoped that the
public interests will not be allowed to
suffer. 1t is scarcely to be feared that
the conquer;ng party VIII commit the
indiscretion of imposing such high
rates as to invite powerful competition
and repress the tendency to inaugur-
ate large and valuable overland traf-
i ic. BY putting down charges to the
lowest paying figure, the field can be
maintained and a popularity earned
which will foster the business and rem
derit highly remunerative. Thecontest
viii be of gigantic proportions, involv-
ing all the express companies and
many of the leading railroads it will
create great sensation in financial
and commercial circles, and may open
the eyes of the public to many things
of general interest connected with the
express business.

The Judge Strengthened himself TO his

to express his contempt for this

HYDROPHOBIA.

The following article from the French
newspaper In FdrDse. will be read with
interest. It suggests one of the most sim
pic remedies for bydrophobia, being at
the same time preventative and curative:
DR.. Buisson being called toassist sub
jcct Of hydrophobia, who approached the
| fatal crisis Of the disease, bled her and
wiped the blood on handkerchief weE
with saliva Of the dying woman. On the
first finger Of the left hand he had small
confusion where the skin was broken. He
was Immediately cognizant Of his thought
lessness; but trusting TO the process which
he had recently discovered. contented him
self with washing himself with water.

ease did not make its appearance until

ticnts to visit, nut off taking my renee

chamber. | felt all at once pain in my
throat, and still greater one in my eyes
My body felt so light, that / thought that

throw myself to prodieious height, or
that by holding on 10 window frame, I
could sustain myself in the air. Ny hair
was so sensitive that 1t seemed TO me that

mouth wofcred; the impression caused
by contact with the air made me feel hor-
