John w. Garrett Gone.

BALTIMORE, MD., September 20
John w. Garrett, President of the Balti-
more & Ohio Railroad Company, died at
his residence at Deer Park early this
morning. He passed away without a
struggle, and apparently without suffer
ing. lie was conscious to the last mo-
ment. At his bedside were the members
of his family.
A Premature Announcement Garrett
Not Yet Dead.
DEER PARK, MD, September 25.-The
announcement of the death of President
Garrett was premature, but he is not ex-
pected to live more than an hour longer
at most. He now lies in an almost COM
atose state, and all hope has been given
up.
BIOGRAPHICAL.
John W. Garrett was born in the city
of Baltimore, July 81, 1920, and was the
second son of the late Robert Garrett, a
wealthy merchant and banker. His
education was completed at Lafayette
College, Pennsylvania, when he entered
his fathers cOunting.roOm aud was
shortly after, at the age OF nineteen,
made partner in the business. His first
connection with the Baltimore & Ohio
Road was IN October, 1857, when
he was made director at time
when the embarrassment of the
road was OF a most serious char
acter. In 1858 he was elected to the
Presidency OF the company, which posi-
tlon he has since retained. After he be-
came President and gave his time so
largely to the duties of his Office, the di-
rectors, by unanimous vote, increased
his salary from $4,000 to $40 900 per an
mum. This increase Garrett declined.
He also repeatedly declined to accept the
offers of the presidencies of other roads,
though accompanied in one case by the
proposition Of salary of 100000, and
one by proposal of $50, 900 a year. He
was also the head Of the banking house
OF Robert Garrett & Sons.

A Shocking Runaway.

About 6 o'clock last evening span Of
horses attached TO covered earrisge
and belonging to Dupuy 4 Co.. broke
loose on New High street and ran down
Temple to Spring street, where they
seemed to be perfectly wild and ran at
the top Of their speed down Spring
street unobstructed till they arrived op-
posite the stable Of Tcmpleton l. Askin,
where Mr.. Askin was standing In the
street conversing with q gentleman sit
ting In buggy. In an instant the
horses dashed over Mr.. Askin and
the buggy, crushing Mr.. Askin in hor-
nble manner and entangling themselves
with the buggy, which they dragged for
some distance aud finally upset. One Of
the horses then iell aud - scene be-
came frightful. Maclovio BoteIlo. on

some bystanders secured the team Of

in the buggy was very badly
injured and was taken in charge
BY friends who neglected to give his

Around the Depot.

The train from San Francisco arrived
yesterday on time, drawn by ten-wheel
locomotive, and the train from the East
was bulletined q halt hour behind time,
Passenger traffic for this time Of year is
reported good. This being the Presi.
dental year it is considered an of year
by railroad men, and a falling off in
travel is looked for. The reason as-
signed for this Is that people don't wish
TO travel until after election. so they
will be able to vote before leaving home.
But, judging from. the crowd at the do
pot. and the number of passengers who
got off and on the train, il yesterday .
train was fair sample OF the passenger
traffic, there was not much falling off.

bridge will be finished and open for

present the company are using trans.
fer boat. and from eighteen to twenty
cars of freight are being transferred
each day, which makes the freight busi-
ness at this point duller than 1t usually
Is. But as soou as the bridge Is conf
pleted all the delayed freight will be
rushed through and the freight depot
will once more resume its old-time busy

aood-Bye. Ollie.

1t is now stated that the proud spir.
tied oleomsrgarine company has come to
grief. and given up the ghost. This
company attempted to overcome the boz
vine species by specious and plausible
stories. and seemed to think that the
docile COW would not long resent tkeir
opposition, so they concluded, like the
philosopher who was chased by q mad
COW, to sing:
"we will sit on tho stiIe
And continue to smile,
And thus We may soften the heart OF the COW. "
But the COW would not soften at all,
and the philosopher Ollie has had to
come down from the stile, without any
smile and sell out the $4,000 factory
for soap manufactory. 1t is not stated
whether it is to be hard or soft soap
factory. Probably the latter. It Is
well. There Was lie in the first compa.
ny aud lye In the new one.
Concerning this burst up the Pacific
Rural Press says very truly: "It Is

commercial talent, and issued such fue
pamphlets and subsidized several Of the
atty dailies, and paid experts for favorA-
Bile opinions. and cost its projectors per-
haps SO, 1000. should have fallen to the
unsavony level of soap factories And
yet that is where It always belonged.
The soap men have fitting revenge upon
it for builing the price Of soap fat while
it was in operation. We have not much
sympathy for the crowd which lost
money in the effort to foist false butter
upon this coast. They ought 10 have

here to peddle off rights for the making
of bogus goods, that the game was up

have had a good lesson, even II they had
to pay well for it,"

According 10 tho Tucson Star, thai
city 10 going to have Touring mill Of
its own and aim to be independent oi
Los Angeles. That journal says: "It
is announced that new enterprise Is on
foot that will revolutionize the manufac-
ture of flour in this city. 1t is nothing
less than the erection of mill and ma
chinery for that purpose at cost OF
about S40.000. By those who ere in
formed on such matters II Is believed
that the venture will pay largely. The
projectors of the scheme have an abund-
ance of capital for the purchase Of sufii.
cient grain to keep the mill constantly
running the full year through. The
works will be of sufficient capacity to
supply this entire country with -four Of
the various grades without having re-
course 10 California importations."
Owing to the non arrival of the con-
tractor, Mr.. Donovan. the work of grad.

nounced in the HERALD, is at the site

Millions of Loss to the People.

The Contra Costa Gazette has the fol.
lowing squirrel story, which is nm.
doubtedly true and has been more than
equalled by o similar examination on
La Ballona Rancho near this city: "a
young son of Mr.. Hollsnbeck shot .
squirrel one day this week, and through
MIR. Douglas it was presented to the
Gazette scribe for inspection. Its jaw
pouches were full Of wheat, and - .
matter Of curiosity the scribe ripped
open the squirrels temporary food de-
positories and carefully counted the
grains Of wheat contained therein.
There were exactly eight hundred and
tifty-three grains Of wheat in the squir-
rtl's chops, sufficient to fill Q man .
hand. Multiply one squirrel by thou.
sand, and the sverage farmer will form
some idea of the destructive ability OF
his annual squirrel crop. There are but
few who appreciate the enormous raw
ages made by squirrels throughout our
county during . single season. Thou
sands Of dollars' worth OF wheat are lost
each year through these little animals,
and this single illustration will give
some idea Of how the thing il done"
A squirrel will carry away that
amount Of grain every day II he gets .
chance during July. August, September
auol October, and farmers will wonder
why their wheat does not volunteer -
it used 70. The secret ID. the squirrels
have stolen the grain from the stubble-
field and buried It by the bushel deep
in the ground. A bushel Of wheat has
been found in the den Of = single rquir.
rel. The squirrels in Los Angeles coun-
ty alone destroy enough property to
support the public school systena Of this
county. The animals are now fat and
fine food, and should be used fer meat
and give the chickens rest for awhile.
After dressing the animal. the carcass
should be parboilsd moderately and
cooked to order. They are delicious
and superior to chicken. The squirrel
is q dainty animal, eating corn, wheat,
barley, oats, seeds, and fresh delicate
leaves. 10 this it il different from the
chicken, which dsvours all manner of
unclean things without compunction or
nettlancy,
Our market should be stocked with
squirrel meat every day At this time of
year, while the squirrels are all fat and
delicious. The animala can be trapped
or shot In countless numbers as this
time Of the year. and should be eaten up
and turned 10 some good account. Will
some Of our resfaurateurs start the bus
mesa and advertise squirrsl-pIe, fricasee.
roast squirrel. and squirrel ia-modei
It might be a very profitable venture.
The experiment is worth trying. 1t
would be a good thing for the farmer to
have his squirrels taken away, and it
might happen that IL the squirrels got an
idea that they we're thus turned to some
useful account they would leave the
country. where they were psrsecuted for
the good Of mankind and set up business
elsewhere. Anyway. the squirrel must
