Col. Obin's Little joke.

A few days ago, a very dignitied and
slralght.laced gentleman, accompanied
by his wife came to Sacramento from
an up country town for the purpose of
taking in the sights of the capital city.
One day, they resolved on making II
trip to tie dome Of the capitol build.

pair of field glasses. The obliging
official said he would procure pair

said that with their aid fine view
could he had ol the country for miles
around. He therefore went 10 the Ad-

TIE PROSECUTED PHYSICIANS.
The Cases Against Them Dismissed in Squire
Pease's Court.

Yesterday the prosecutions against physicians
for failure to procure licenses came to a close in
Squire Peaseis court by a dismissal on motion
of Prosecutor Harding of all pending suits
There were ffty-three Of them waiting trial.
The magistrate says that the only reason for
entertaining a motion to dismiss was his belief
that such would be the termination Of the cases
if they went to a higher court. With this view
of the situation he did not think it worth while
to have transcripts made, or to further increase
the costs of prosecution. He very decisively
states that the question of jurisdiction did not
erter into his consideration of dismissal.
he claims that his jurisdiction cannot
be legally questioned, and says if
dismissal of the suits had been urged upon that
ground the cases would have gone to trial. The
conditions of the dismissal in regard to those
who have not complied with the law is that they
must do so within the next ten days, and when
they present to him their licenses the cases will
be taken from the docket. Those who have OBJ
tanned licenses since the first of August and
since the prosecutions began are dismissed with
out any attending conditions. Physicians who
paid their fines and costs upon a plea of guilty
are talking about appealing to the court above.

The Railway Question in Georgia.

This railroad problem in Georgia is attracting
considerable attention. The legislative commit
tee in their report suggest that the law be
amended so as TO allow the railroads to appeal to
Sho courts from decisions of the commission.
The teaor of this report, if it represents even
approximately the feeling of the people of Geor-
giA. shows a wide reaction OF sentiment since the
establishment OF the railroad commission five
years since, and may lead TO the passage of
amendments modif wing the most onerous parts
of ahe present railroad law. Meantime, the
Taiircad commissioners are doing all they can TO
prevent any modifc alton of the law. or abridge-
mens OF their authority. The house of delegates
OF the Georgia Legislature passed. Thursday
3sst, an act giving the railroads the right TO no
tice IN advance, and a hearing by the railroad
commissioners, before any change In rates. or
otner regulations can be enforced. This will
permit the railroads to delay temporarily reduc-
tionS IN rates. int beyond that is of no value. as
II sid leaves the commissioners in the full nos
session of their unlimited authority. This action
Of the Legislature, however, evinces a disposition
20 Emit the power of the commission. and IS. to
this extent, encouraging TO the railroad interests
In that State.

Grand .Tnry RepOrt.

The final report of the grand jury will be
made to day. About fifty indictments will be
returned, but none of them of any significant
interest. They will include the general run OF
minor crimes. Among them are several indict
ments against saloon keepers. The case of
Thomas Horny, accused Of killing Motif, at
Castleton, on the 25th of June, will probably be
ignored. After examining all who would likely
know anything concerning the affair. the jury
failed to develop any important line of evidence
regarding the Bowling charges against ex coun.
cilmen. Councilmen and street railroad men
called on for testimony gave. without exception,
the negative answers recorded by Bowling last
week.

three miles west of Lock Haven, the Beech
Creek and the Philadelphia & Erie run side by
side for some distance. At one point the tracks
are not more than seventy-fve feet apart. A
few hundred dollars will connect the two roads.
From Mill Hall traffic could pass on the Phila-
delphia Il Erie track to Sunbury. whore the
Northern Central's line would be used as the
main line at Harrisburg.
The distance from Phillipsburg would be
increased about forty miles. but the greater
distance would be more than balanced by the
lighter grades ard curves. BY way of Tyrone
the distance to Harrisburg is 142 miles. The new
route would be 60 miles on the Beech Creek to
Mill Hall, 60 miles on the Philadelphia 81 Erie
to Sunbury. and So miles on the Northern Cen
tral TO Harrisburg-a total of 1872 miles. All but
thirteen miles of the Beech Creek road would
thus be used as a main line, and the thirteen
miles would constitute a connection with the
Vanderbilt system at Jersey Shore.

but the latter company having constructed a

Business Prospects Frightening.

V. T.. Maiott, vice president and general man
ager OF the Union Railway Company, returned
yesterday from his three weeks stay on the New
England coast, and is in fine trim. While absent
he met several of the officials of roads composing
the Union Railway Company, and without excep-
ton they talked 'cheerfully over the better
prospects for railroad interests and among man
ufacturers a much better feeling is noticeable.
The immense cotton and oats crops, and the
excellent prospects for the corn crop. he states,
are fully AS well appreciated East as in the West.
and this in part forms the basis of
the better feeling. Money is abundant
East, and Mr.. Malott found parties who
were willing TO take the bonds to be issued by
the Union Railway Company at a rate of interest
which could but be acceptable to all parties in
terested. AS soon as NJ. e. Ingalls,, president of
the c., l., St. l.. & c., returns from the East,
Mr.. Malott is instructed to call a meeting of the
presidents and general managers of the Indian
apolis roads to further consider the new Union
Depot enterprise. Mr.. Malott expects that at
this meeting all questions as to location and
placing the bonds will be settled, and that there
after the executive committee can proceed with
the proposed improvements without calling the
presidents and managers together until the work
at least is well advanced.
