The Southern Pacific Company-Misstate
ments Correct a.

1t having been stated that the expenses
of the Southern Pacific Company have for
some time past been far above their re-
ceipts, Mr.. Towne was asked about this
and from him it is learned that thereis no
foundation, in fact, for this statement.
There has been some falling of in the gross
earnings of the various roads for the first
four months of this year, but the net is
more favorable than for the corresponding
period in 1884, being nearly million doll
ars in excess of the figures for the same
time last year. The general business of
the coast is very quiet, and, as stated by
M Towne, the depression is affecting rail
roads as well rs all other kinds of bust
ness, and compels the most rigid economy
in their management. In consequence of
there being no construction or extension of
roads, at present there was no necessity for
an engineer force, and the services of this
corps has been dispensed with The South.
ern Pacific Company having, by lease, as
sumed control of all the roads in the sys-
tenn, will organize an engineer corps when
its business requires it. Some other officials,
among them those previously named. and
men in various positions have been retired
as the duties devolving upon them could
we'll be performed by fewer numbers, the
consolidation of all the roads in one Sys-
tenn having, as was contemplated, made
! the employment of so great Il number of
men unnecessary. The services of others
will be dispensed with if found practicable

watchman, and had charge of the watts in
the eighth, ninth and tenth stories. c.
FTahenberg, another watchman, noticed at
l o'clock this morning that one of the watts
in the eighth story was overtlowing, and at
once instituted a search for Brunkhurst
imagining, of course that the watchman's
absence only could account for the over
that the watchman must have fallen asleep
while sitting on the sill, and tumbled down
a distance of about sixty feet. The deceased
was German, aged 33. and leaves a wife
and one child.
