The Pennsylvania People Said to Have Sc

The Pennsylvania People Said to Have Sc
cured Control of the N. Y. s. N. L..
1t has been well understood for some months
that the Pennsylvania Railroad Company was,
in quiet manner seeking to gain control of the
New York & New England road. The N. Y. &
n E. has 228 miles of main track. and great adj
vantages in Boston for terminal facilities but
has always been so embarrassed, financially, as
TO prevent making the needed improvements.
Now the rumor comes that the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company has secured control of the
property The Boston Herald, of the 31st, says:
''Since the difficulty it became involved in some
weeks ago, account of d non-payment of in
terest ON its bonded Indebtedness, the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company has been quietly
figuring on adding it to the already long list of
lines under their control, and yesterday it was
quietly whispered that the negotiations were
about complete, and it is no longer question to
be debated. As with all other transactions in
which this company is involved, great secrecy
prevails and nothing could be learned as to I'M
der what conditions the road was leased or for
how many years. This will put the New York &
New England on a sound financial basis, besides
giving it the prestige which the other line has.

THE AMUSEMENT REVIEW.

ENGLISH OPERA HOUSE - THE ATKINSON COM
PANY.
Charles Atldnson's company presented at
English's Opera house last night a semi-drama-
tized version of the sketches of the Bad Boy !"
written by Geo. W. Peck, of the Milwaukee Sun,
which proved to be a broad, senseless farce,
with no connection of story action, and which
belongs to the variety stage. The dialogue is lit
tie less than idiotic There are three clever people
in the company. They are Arthur and Jennie
Dunn, who were once the bright lights of HAY
erly's Juvenile Pinafore Company, and Dan
Mason, a German comedy who is always funny.
Young Dunn did the best genteel song and
dance seen here for years. and his sister, pretty
little girl sang several songs very sweetly.
Dunn played the part of the ''bad boy" and did
as well as he could with such part The
specialities, except that of Mr. Williams, very
queer Irish comedian, were the best features OF
the entertainment. 1t will be repeated this af-
ternoon and to night.
NOTES.
The prices at 1.-THE Silver King matinee at the
Grand this afternoon will be 35, so and 70 cents.
The engagement will conclude tonight.

nee and Wednesday evening Miss Matte Fer
guson, of this city, plays the soubrette roles in
both pieces.
The sale of seats for the Irving engagement
already amounts to about s., 800. The principal
demand seems to be for Wednesday night-"1he
Bells" and the Bellies Strategem and for Fri
day night-'M Merchant of Venice If the theater-
goers knew what a great performance Mr.. Irv-
ings Louis XI" is, they would prefer to see him
on Thursday night. Excellent seats can yet be
obtained at the box-office.
''Queens Lace Handkerchief" Johann
Strauss latest opera, will be produced at En-
glishs on Monday and Tuesday evenings by the
New York Opera Company. This will be the
first production in this city of the opera, and it

Another Pogue.s Run suit.

William H. Hubbard aud w. o. Anderson,
doing business under the firm name of Hubbard
& Anderson, dealers in paper supplies etc. have
brought suit against the city, the Union Railway
Company, the c., H. G. l., the p, c. e St L.,
and the Wabash companies. to recover 5000,
which they allege is the amount of damage to
their stock sustained by the overflow of Pogue's
run June IL, 1882, which they claim was due to
the negligence of the city and the railroad com
panies, in stopping the flow of the stream by
piers and abutments in the bed. The suit is
based on the same grounds as that of Johnston,
Erwin & Co., who recovered $13, 900 Judgment
in the Superior Court, with the exception that
in this, the Wabash Railroad Company is made
a co-defendant.

Condition of the Crops in San Diego

The San of the 18th says: "Unior-
tunately for the farmers the rain Of the
other day did good deal OF damage to
the crops throughout the country. Not
only has it injured the crops, but it
serves to keep the roads in such de
lapidated condition that the farmers are
unable to get to town in order to pur-
chase the necessary machinery with
which to harvest their crops Besides
the injury done in un agricultural point
OF view, the sheep growing interest will
lose-is losing in tact-money on the
same account. w. w. Stewart Il Co.
inform us that there is very large
amount of wool still scattered over the
country; and all this on account OF the
heavy roads. We have adyices from
different parts OF the county and the
effect OF the late rains seems to have had
different effect upon the different
localities. All, however, seem to agree
that little or no rust has made its ap-
pearance, and where it has it is 50 slight
and the grain is so nearly matured that
very little damage will be done on
account Of it. There will be very
large crop of hay, but hardly any OF it
will be classified as first class. The late
rain came in just as most of it had been
cut, but not stacked, and becoming
soaked with water, it has suffered from
mildcw. The wheat and barley in
Spring Valley, Jamacha, poway, Bel-
nardo, and neghboring localities is in
very good condition, and harvesting has
commenced pretty generally throughout
