Spring and Sixth Street Railroad.

re- In company with Judge Widney,
Superintendent of the Spring and
Sixth Street Railroad, we yesterday
rode over the line Of the northern ex-
tension Nas efar q as the new depot
grounds. About twenty laborers are
now engaged ia grading and laying
track, and the work is being pushed
with the utmost expedition. From
the present terminus of the road at
the Pico House to the point above So
nora where the new franchise COM
mences, the road-bed proper is en-
tirely graded, though the street in
some places has not been brought
down to its proper level. The com
pany design grading not only sutfi-
eient space for q track, but also the
entire street, thus obviating any ex-
penditlire on the part of property
owners. About one-half of the track
has been laid along the line granted by
the first franchise, and the whole OF 1t
will probably be completed next
week. The question of grades through
Il portion of Sonora is still unsettled
between the company and the Council,
but it is hoped that this difficulty may
be adjusted. at the meeting of the
Council tomorrow. Judge Widney
informs us that another car for the
road is nearly completed in the works
at San Francisco and Will be ready 1of

merce:
CONFERENCE.-The undersigned, in
view of the great commercial impor-
tance to Los Angeles of controlling
the traffic and freights to Panamint
Mining District and believing by
proper explorations that u nearer
route may be found from the mouth OF
SOledad Canon, more direct and better
than any other route, would respect
fully solicit your honorable body to
call meeting and make, ifpossible,
an appropriation towards defraying
the expense of such exploration.
Signed by Caswell & Ellis, r. w.
Hellman and other firms.
Messrs. l.. J. Ward, Crawford and
others made explanatory remarks,
some of them taking the ground that
it would be impossible to transport
freight dy the San Bernardino route.
Mr.. Ward stated that Mr.. A.
B. Caldwell, the promoter of the petit
ton and an old Cerro Gordo teamster
wished an appropriation of one hum
dred and fifty dollars for the purpose
of making a more thorough survey
than he would, or could If he
was compelled to make the survey at
his own expense. Mr.. Caswell spoke
to the same effect and endorsed Mr..
Caldwell as entirely trustworthy. Mr..
Crawford made further explanations.
Mr.. Griffin thought it advisable to
make the appropriation. After some
discussion Mr.. /. w. Lord moved that
the question be referred to the Com
mittee on Roads, and Highways with
the privilege expending $3.50 on the
part of the Board for exploration.
Amended that instead of the above
named committees special committee
be appointed for the purpose consisting
of Messrs. Caswell, Ward, Hewitt,
Moore and Osborne. The motion as
amended was carried by unanimous
vote. 1t was suggested that the reg
ular annual meeting of the Chamber
occurs on the first Monday in Noyem-
ber and that due notice thereof he
given; also that the dues from MEM

THE JAPANESE TROUPE-THIRp NIGHT.

Turn-Verein Hall was again filled
to its utmost capacity last night to
witness the wonderful performance Of
MarshalPs Japanese Troupe. The
programme was changed so as to in
troduce many new acts and to retain
some of the most difficult and pleasing
of the former. entertainments. The
tree-and-ladder trick, which created
such sensation on the first night was
repeated, and lost none of its original
interest for the spectators. AS a feat
of strength and at the same time an
exhibition of nice balancing, it is sell
dom if ever surpassed. Another trick
of balancing by the feet, performed
with a Japanese umbrella was also q
marvel in its way. 1d"Yassu Geeron is
the name of the deft- footed artist who
treated the audience to the several
feats of this kind. Another one--Too
Coo Zoo-did some very .creditable
tight-rope performances and Titz Sa-
bro, the juggler, executed little
magic with bits OF, tissue paper, which
he sustained in the air by means of q
fan and made to go through the vari-
GUS motions of flying butterflies. At
the will of the performer they would
light on the tip of his finger or on
fan, and then fly up again as natural
as life. Una Ketchie, the top-spinner,
also performed some curious tricksin
that line. But first, last and all the time
little All Right was the one most pop
ular with the audience, being, as the
ladies say, "cute," as well as exceed
ingly apt in all of his parts. Tonight
will be the farewell performance, and
the hall will doubtless be crowded.
Those who wish seats should go early.

SOMETHING Rotten IN New
HAMPsHIRE.-Democracy is having
full sway in New Hampshire nova
days, and for the first time in twenty
years the Republicans have lost the
control of the state. Broad hints are
thrown out already about corruption
among the democratic legislators of the
state which is rather serious thing to
consider in connection with true re-
formers" which the New Ham pshire
patriots with their Wisconsin allies un-
doubtedly claim to be. During Repub-
hean rule there we're, of course, con-
tasted seats and the unsuccessful par
ties in the contests were sometimes
awarded their pay and sometimes not.
The late change in the political Gem
ple1ion of the legislature gave large
number of the unsuccessfuls hope that
they could get "back pay" with added
interest. Some of the claims arc
eighteen years old. There is every in.
dication of this shack pay" steal going
through with rush. During an in
vestigation the other day into charge
that money had been employed to in
fuence the votes Of members on the
Boston and Lowell consolidation bill
enc member states he had been twice
ehered $25 to refrain from voting.
and furthermore that the maker of
ne offer had told him that he had re-
euned one member and was authorized
TO secure three more. These little
episodes ia New Hampshire may d.
vert the attention of the immaculate
democrats for awhile from trumpiag
up charges of fraud against their Re-
pablican brethren.
