There will soon be seven overland
railways across the continent. AT pres
ent there are four systems; the Central
and Union Pacific; the new Atlantic and
Pacific route, soon to be opened; the
Texas Pacific, and the Southern Pacific
to New Orleans. A gap of but 100
miles exists in Montana. between the
two termini of the Northern Pacific, and
its brother, the Canadian Pacific, will
soon be closed, while, as stated few
days since, the Denver and Rio Grande
road is pushing for this coast, and will
be changed to broad guage. Now
comes the Chicago, Milwaukee & st.
Paul railroad, and proposes to extend
its road from the present terminus in
Dakota, to the Pacific ocean, upon the
report Of the directors who recently
visited California, upon our vast resour-
ces. This will shortly give us seven
competing lines to the east, three of
which will come to Los Angeles, which
must certainly be of advantage to Cali
fornia.

A Curious Capture.

A dispatch to Chief King, on Tues
day, stated that a man named Pc
ter Kolbe. who had been barkeeper
and general utility man at the United
States Hotel in San Francisco, had de-
camped and might be in Los Angeles,
was read to the force and q brief descrip-
ton of the man was given. He was
described as a light young man with
whiskers and "hungry face" Yes
terday Officer Reynolds espied man
with a hungry look in his face alight
from the San Francisco emigrant train,
but the fellow had no whiskers TO mark
his features. But the officer took him
in and turned him over to the Chief,
who examined his person and baggage
and found fine lot of new clothing,
which the prisoner said his had pur-
chased in Sacramento, which was true.
The burglars keys in the trunk found
by Captain Cuddy, did not lock the rep
resentative of innocence, and the Cap
tain told him he might as well own up,
and he did. He confessed to having
stolen $500 from the hotel; had shaved
his whiskers all off, been on Q spree in
Sacramento, bought a trunk and some

SUICIDE NEAR SANTA ANA.
A Fugitive from Justice Ends His
Career with Pistol.

Mr.. M. P. Cutler, Public Aaministra-
tor, who was at Anaheim yesterday.
brings news of suicide committed near
Santa Ana the evening before, by ma
tive Californian named Lias, or Guada-
lupe Canasalis. 1t will be remembered
by readers of the HERALD that, last
October, the late Adolfo Cells, then a
member of the City Police force, ar
rested Canasalis as the latter, accom-
panied by his fanc6e, was entering a
circus at Anaheim. This somewhat
cruel proceeding was the result OF Cana
salis's having borrowed horse, with
out the knowledge or consent OF the
owner, in San Luis Obispo county. He
was brought to this city and handed
over to the sheriff of San Luis
Obispo, who had followed him to Los
Angeles. On being taken back to that
county for trial, Capasalis managed to
escape from the jail and made his way
to Baja California, whence he had re-
turned but about an hour before he
fired the shot that ended his earthly
career. An inquest was held by Justice
Bailey, Of Anaheim, at which it was
testified. by inmates Of the house at
which the fatal deed was committed,
that deceased had arrived at the house
about o'clock in the evening and, say
ing he was tired, laid down on bed.
In about an hour afterwards a shot was
heard and on going into the room where
Canasalis was reclining, he was found
to have shot himself, the ball entering
the center of the breast and causing
death in few minutes.
No cause was assigned, 80 far as MIR.
Cutler was able to learn, for the act.
The deceased, on his arrival, it is said,
did not show anyhsigns Of being ont of
his head or affected in any way. The
theory is, that realizing by his return to
this section, that he placed himself in
danger of arrest, on the old charges,
he concluded to get rid Of all his Troubles
by ending his life.

The Sunset Line.

An observer at our great busy railway
station cannot fail to observe a steady
increase in the number of through
freight cars between New Orleans and
Los Angeles and San Francisco. Every
day the hurrying trains receive their
burden from the steamers at the Cres-
cent City and speed away through for
est, prairie, desert and mountain chains
to the Orange Grove City, and then to
the metropolis Of the State.
When the weather is smooth off Hat
teras the swift propellers of the Sunset
Line between New York and New Or
leans make rapid passage. and goods are
brought to Los Angeles in thirteen days,
which is about week quicker than by
the overland, via all rail.
The San Francisco merchants admit
that they get their goods two weeks
quicker through Los Angeles by the
Sunset Route, than by the Union Pacific
Railroad. Here is point for our mer-
chants to take some advantage. They
are now so much nearer the eastern mar
kets that they can furnish goods from
that section quicker and cheaper than
the merchants in San Francisco. The
Los Angeles merchants are now ahead
of all rivals in the handling of eastern
goods. They get them at as low or
lower rates of freight, and have them
delivered two days ahead of the mer-
chants of San Francisco. More than
one. half of the Atlantic coast goods for
San Francisco now pass through Los
Angeles by the Sunset Route, and in
a short time nearly all such goods will
pass this way. Easier grades and quicker
time will be the turning point in trans
portation from the Atlantic coast, and
Los Angeles is now the favored empori-
um and will remain so.

Overland to Oregon.

About three weeks since the HERALD
announced that the gap of 202 miles be-
tween the two termini of the railroad
from San Francisco to Portland, Oregon,
was being rapidly closed. At that time
twenty nine miles had been built in each
direction, reducing the stage travel to
LA miles. Such an army of men has
been at work, however, that the Oregon
and California Railway announces IFS
completion to Glendale, &c miles south
Of its terminus, as lately stated. The
northern branch of the Central Pacific
has been extended some 81 miles north,
reducing the gap to about 81 miles, and
making the overland journey far quicker
and more comfortable. At this rapid
rate of progress, it will not. be many
months before the trip to Oregon will
be easy and luxurious from Los Angeles
to the Webfoot State.

Electricity and Magnetism the New
Means of Cure.


DIR. E. Robbins, the successful electric
and magnetic healer of l19 Main street,
between Second and Third streets, who
has made so many wonderful cures in
this city, is still meeting with immense
success. His rooms are crowded daily
with patients anxious to get the benefit
of his powerful magnetism. The blind
see, the deaf hear, the lame walk and
he sick are healed by this new develop
ment in medical science. DIR. Robbins
discards the use of all medicines in his
treatment and relies solely on the power
of magnetism. An experience of several
years in the Australian colonies and this
country enables him to assert with conf
dence that he can cure diseases that baf-
f1e the skill of other physicians. He
also diagnoses disease without explana-
ton from the patient, free of charge.
We would advise all persons suffering
from painfnl diseases to call and see the
Doctor and get the benefit of his advice.
Testimonials have already appeared in
the columns of the HERALD showing his
ability as magnetic physician. ml5 I'm

The law requiring every guano com pany

But the Department of Agriculture,
and the sub-departments of immigration.
nsh and fisheries, ETC.. are, We think, un
necessary. We have never heard of any
one who has become induced to come TO
theS State by their efforts. and it requires
ten or fifteen thousand dollars a rear to
support them. We think that .he
money could be expended better. We
would rather see it turned over 10 the
school fund.
Only a few of the States have these
ofhcers and they are generally dissatis-
he'd with their investment
We respectfully call the attention of
our Legislature to this subject, and hope
that they may see their way clear to save
the people a considerable sun of money

1T is singular how few of tie honest

In conclusion, let US repeat that Col.

but damaging to himself. The Farmer
and Mechanic has never done an inten-
tional injustice, nor ever refused to cor
rect unintentional error. In the pres
emf instance, We ever went out of our
way to suggest that the meeting might
have been a social party" Though it
must be admitted that a ''social party''

In strict truth, however, We had no
intention of rejecting upon Col. Holt,
Maj. Tate, or the other Railway officials.

can for their roads. All of these are

pose are kindly disposed. In talking
