A LANDSLIDE.
The santa Barbara Train eau mt
A Quick Run.

a big landslide occurred at 2 O'Clock
Yesterday afternoon half mile thi side
of Rincon on the Santa Barbara division
Of the Southern Pacific. Rincon is stu
ated on the other side of Carpenteria
and as passenger train No. % from this
city. in charge Of Conductor McMorrie,
was steaming away toward Santa Bar
bara the engineer saw that the track
ahead was blocked and downed brakes
in time. The slide proved to be very
serious one. At the place where it
occurred the track is cut into
the side of chalky cliffs, which
are 100 feet high in some places and
one of these had given way and the track
was blocked with earth six feet high for
a distance of eighty feet A large force
of men was obtained from Carpenteria
and the surrounding country and the
work of building a subsidiary track
around the slide was commenced. 1t
was Z O'Clock before the train could get
through and when it arrived at Santa
Barbara it was turned around and
set on its homeward journey
without delay. The train left the
Santa Barbara depot just as the
clocks were striking 8, with Engineer
Dillie, determined to make the run to
Los Angeles in as quick time as posssi-
BILE. He beat the record of any regular
passenger train yet run over the division.
Thirteen stops were made and one or
two delays checked the progress, but in
spite of these the knight of the throttle
brought the train into San Fernando
street at o'clock this morning, having
beaten the schedule time on ITO mile
run by an hour. This proves that the
proposed shortening up of the running
time between this city and Santa Barbara
can be easily done, and Engineer Dillie's
run will be good basis for the traindis-
patchers who are getting up the new
cards to work on.

A Suit Against Tarpcy.

SAN FRANCISCO, December 1.-Mem.
bers OF the firm of Donnelly, Dunn & Co.,
of this city, have filed complaint
against Michael f. Tarpey, wherein
it is set forth that in 1873
Tarpey, who was connected with
F. Seile & Co., which ia the smelling and
refining business, became possessed of
$22 900 belonging to himself and associ
ates, and believing the latter intended
to sue for division of the
money, he induced Andrew Dom
nelly, at that time one of plaintiff Is
firm, to execute two promissory notes,
note, one to Tarpey's mother, the other to
his sister for $1l 900 each, signing the
firms name thereto, making it appear
that Tarpey had given the money to bis
mother and sister, who loaned it to the
firm. Tarpey agreed to give up the
notes when the action against him
was settled, instead of which he trans.
ferred them to his brother. Dominick
Tarpey, in 1883 DonnellY Dunno & Co.
had a settlement with Michael Tarpey
giving their note for all the
moneys due him. Subsequently Dom
mick Tarpey sued them to recover
the $22 900 and $S, los interest thereon
Plaintiffs allege that the money was
really never loaned their firm, and thai
Dominick and Michael have conspired
to defraud them. They ask that the
two notes be cancelled and destroyed.

Hall McAllister Called to the
Higher Court.
HIS BRILLIANT LEGAL CAREER
A Letter From General Harrison to a
Little Pomona Girl.
Notes.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD.
SAN Francisco, December Hall
McAllister, one of the leading lawyers oi
this city, who had been ill for a number
of months, died at San Rafael at
O'Clock this morning.
There was no confirmed change in his
condition until this morning, when il
was noticed that he was rapidly sinking.
Early this morning he summoned his
family to his bedside and at O'Clock
breathed his last. He regained con-
sciousness until the last, and was able to
communicate his wishes to his family.
The body will be removed to San Fran
cisco and buried from Trinity Church
Monday.
SKETCH OF HIS CAREER.
Hall McAllister was born in the State
of Georgia in 1926. His remote ancestry
was Scotch, but the family was in Amer
ica before the Revolutionary war. His
father and grandfather were eminent
lawyers, each having held the office Of
United States District Attorney for
Georgia, the father under President John
Quincy Adams and the grandfather
under Washington. The father, Mat
thew Hall McAllister, died in this
city, having few years before resigned
from the bench of the United States
Circuit Court, to which President Pierce
had appointed him in 1855. Hall Nc
Allister arrived in San Francisco in June,
1S49, a year in advance of his father.
He almost Immediately secured a valua-
BILE clientage. This, in steadily in
creasing volume, he maintained up to
his fatal sickness which began only a
few months ago, and he has by the con-
sensus of the bench and bar of this State,
led the profession through the longest
unbroken period Of service, and won more
notable triumphs than any other of our
advocates. His first case in the Supreme
Court is reported in the very first volume
of it's records, that of Payne against the
Pacific Mail Steamship Company. Per-
haps his most profitable case, and in the
opinion of many, the greatest that ever
engaged California tribunal, was among
the latest of his long series of forensic
victories. This was the great water rights
case of Miller & Lux against Haggin &
Carr. The wife of the deceased, who
survives him, is the daughter of the late
Samuel Hermann. Ward McAllister,
of New York, is brother OF the de-
ceased.
