The oalifornia Southern Railroad

We have at last learnt something def
mite Ia regard to the condition Of the
California Southern Railroad beyond
Cordero, and u il not at all encouraging.
The road-bed 10 more or less damaged
clear through to Temecula, and great
many Of ths bridges have been partially
wished away. Thirty feet of the bridge
across the San Lula Rsy river are gone,
and seven Of the bridges in Temecula
Canon are quite badly damaged, while
bridge 81. also in tho canon, IL entirsly
swept away. The road-bed in the
Temecula Canon is greatly damaged,
and numbers Of land-slidss have depos.
tied vast quantities Of earth and rock
ON the track The extent Of the damage
to the road is immense, and 1t will
doubtless cost over hundred thousand
dollars to repair II. The construction
train, which has been at work at Corde.
70, returned to town on Sunday, as It
was impossible TO do anything while the
storm continued. As ii has now ap-
parently cleared of, however, the work
Of repairing will be pushed with vigor.
The clearinghouse cars, used while the
road was building, were beng fitted up
again yesterday, supplies were being
purchased. and everything being made
really to put large force Of men at
work. One construction train will
probably commence operations to-day.
How long 1t will take to put the road in
good shape again is not known, but we
understand that some Of the officers
think II will take month or more. San

Overworkad Brains.

DR.. William A. Hammond recently con-
tributed an article to the Youths Compan-
ion upon brain Overwork, and Some of its
Consequences" 1t was made specially in
teresting by the stories of patients who have
come under his own treatment The frs {
effect of an excessive use of the brain, says
DR.. Hammond, is generally wakefulness.
1t is easy to understand why this should be
the case when we bear in mind how sleep is
produced. AS shall have occasion here
after to say few words with special refer
ence to the physiology OF sleep, it will suf-
fee at present for me to mention the fact
that exact observations have shown that
sleep is caused by the blood in a measure
flowing out of the vessels of the brain into
those of other parts of the body.
OF course anything that prevents the dim
mutton of the quantity of blood in the brain
prevents sleep. Every time an individual
thinks, if il be only for the hundredth part
of second, every time his emotions are ex-
cited, the vessels of the brain enlarge ana
the quantity of blood they contain is in
creased.
Normally, as soon as the thought has
passed and the emotion has faded away, the
vessels contract, and when sleep is coming
on they diminish still more in caliber But
if a person thinks too much, and especially
If he is anxious about some important mat
ter, there is no opportunity for The vessels
to become reduced in size. They must re-
main full of blood in order that the brain
may do the work required. The tension is
thus kept up too long, and eventually, like
All oyer-distended bodies, they lose their
elasticity, and then return to their normal
dimensions is no longer possible.

Ross Defeats Bubear by Fifteen Lengths
Time 16 minutes, 10 seconds.
LONDON, March 10.-The race betweed Geo.
Ross, the sculler from New Brunswick, took
place this morning. The distance was four
miles and two furlongs over the regular
Thames course from Putney to Mortlake Ross
conceded Bnbear 10 seconds start. The referee
Mr.. Whitefoot, editor of the London Sports
man, than ghom no farer referee or better in
formed judge of matters aquatic exists, gave
Bubear signal to start, and the man who
steadied the shell in the stiff food tide water
running up the river, released his hold on the
sternpost of Bubear's boat. With the tide in
his favor, Bubear gained four and half
lengths before the the impatient Ross was per-
mitted to grip the water with his blades. AT
Hammersmith, the middle point of the course,
| the difference was overcome and the boats
| were nearly even. The race was won by the
American by fifteen lengths His time was 26
minutes and 10 seconds The betting was five
| to four in favor of Ross.

LONDON, March 10.-The Times Khartoum
despaches say Gen. Gordon advises the ap-
pointment of zobahr Pasha to succeed himself
as Governor of Soudan. He thinks
that Zobahr if adequately supported would
dispose of Mahdi within year, and he strong
ly denounces the proposed British expedition
to reconquer the Soudan and expresses deep
anxiety for the situation at Khartoum. Un-
less the British act promptly in regard to
Zobahr Pasha's appointment the victory Of
Gen. Graham, will In his opinion have been
useless bloodshed. He does not believe in
sending further kilograms, as it is no longer q
question of days but of hours. 1t is reported
that Sheikh Obeid on the other side of the
Blue Nile has risen. 1t this is SO telegraphs
will be cut forthwith. 1t is improbable that
the rebels will attack Khartoum, they will try
to starve the city into submission.

Death of Rev. Dorus Clarke, D. D.

Death of Rev. Dorus Clarke, D. D.
The Rev. Dorus Clarke. whose name has for
many years been widely familiar to the relig-
ious community as that of conspicuous cham
pion OF the old Puritan faith, for whose cause
he has long labored zealously by tongue and
pen, departed this.life on Saturday morning,
his death occurring at his home in Boston. A
stranger noticing him on the streets, would
be likely to take him for man not much over
65 years of age, but at the time of his death he
had two months previously passed his eighty
seventh birthday. He had always enjoy ed ex-
ceptionally good health, and maintained the
full use of his faculties up to the time of his
final illness. His mental vigor remained re-
markably fresh and unimpaired through that
period of his life through which most men who
live so long are in their dotage. Up to the
last, his interest in current affairs seemed to
be unabated. The illness which proved to be
mortal made its appearance about five weeks
ago, assuming the form of kidney and liver
affection. His death, though not unexpected,
was not supposed to be so near, and came as a
severe shock to his very large circle of friends
and acquaintances.
DIR. Clark was native of Westhampton,
Mass, born January 2, 1897. He was of Puri-
tan descent, his father being Jonathan Clarke,
and his mother Jemma Lyman, both descend
ants of the early New England settlers He
entered as freshman at Williams College in
1913, graduated with the class of 1917
The later years OF DR.. CIarke's life were
passed in Boston, and, released from the exsc-
tions of systematic professional duties, he has
devoted much time to historical and antiquari-
an subjects, in which he took deep interest.
He was an active member of the Historical.
Genealogical Society, and for many years was
its historiohgrapher. DR.. CLARK was married
in 1924 to Miss Haunah Award Bliss of Long
meadow. She died abroad about eight years
ago. DIR. Clarke leaves two daughters, one of
whom is the wife OF Mr.. s. d. Warren; the
other, of Mr. Geo. W. Hammond, both of this
city; and son, MF. Henry NJ. Clarke, of this
city. The funeral will occur at the Mt. Yer.
hon Church, on Ashburton place, at p. m
tomorrow.

PRESIDENTIAL TALK.
Gossip and Speculation Concerning the
Supposed Leading Candidates.

Special Despatch to the Boston Journal)
WASHINGTON, March ga member of the
administration today expressed the opinion
that the hostility among a small portion of the
New York delegates to Chicago might be SO
great as to induce Arthur to forbid the use of
mis- name in connection with the presidency.
A friend of Blaine expresses regret that his
name should have been mentioned at this
stage of the cen vass, for the reason that, if he
is to be a candidate, they had hoped that he
would not be mentioned on the first ballot.
One of Logan's friends insists that his
strength is constantly increasing in the West
and South, and that he will have votes from
New York and Pennsylvania. No claim is
made that he will have any strength in New
England. One of Logans men says that it is
pretty clear that the Logan people believe that
Blaine may have it in his power to determine
who shall be the nominee They also assume
that he is better disposed toward Logan than to
any of the other candidates.
Blaine certainly will use his influence to
prevent the nomination of either Arthur or
Edmunds. Edmunds again, within few
days, said to friend that he was in earnest in
his declaration that he is not a candidate. The
condition of the health of his family is such
that he desires to avoid the excitement Incl
dent to the nomination and campaign, and
would prefer not to be nominated. But Mr..
Edmunds did not state that If nominated he
should not accept
