RAILWAY MATTERS.
A Remarkably Quiet Day
Along the Rails.
A HURRIED TRIP NORTH.
Travel East is Steadily Increas-
ing Fast Time Being Made
for Oranges-NOtes.
A HURRIED TRIP NORTH.

The depots in the city are almost
"too full for uterance" and freight is
being placed in every available spot.
Shipments east are now unusually
large, owing to the fact that the in
crease in rates will coon go into effect,
and the clerks are being worked very
hard. The road between this city
and San Francisco is reported as being
jammed with cars loaded with wine,
dried fruits and other products of this
country. The trains are all running
smoothly as the tracks are now re-
paired. The Santa Fe's trains, due
yesterday. arrived on time, while such
was the case with the trains of the
Southern Pacific Co. Everything,
with the exception of the rush of
business, was perfectly quiet,
as nothing unusual has occurred to
create the slightest disturbance.

Fast Freight.

The Southern Pacific and Union
Pacific railways are giving orange
shippers the benefit of unusually good
time on shipments to through Eastern
points, their record being eight and
nine days from Los Angeles to Chi
cago. This certainly shows that the
above roads are exerting themselves
to further the interests of their
patrons. The old fast time, which
shippers considered satisfactory, aver
aged twelve and fourteen days. With
a reduction of from four TO six days
there should certainly be no cause for
com plant. The officials of both roads
mentioned, in conversation with the
HERALp's representative yesterday,
said that provided no unforeseen acci-
dent should occur, this time would be
kept up on all special shipments
throughout the orange season, even if
it should n be further reduced.

Tulare is destined to become one of the
largest and richest cities in California. 1t
is located in the heart of the great San
Joaquin Valley, on the main line OF the
Southern Pacific Il. R., surrounded by an
agricultural country of almost limitless ex-
tent and of great fertility, a large part of
which is cut up into small farms devoted
to fruit and raisin culture. TULaRE is in
the center of the Altesian Well belt, which
alone lpsureS prosperity that no 9th er local

The property to be sold is only THREE
BLOCKS from the X. r. delot and will in
a short time be in the heart of the city.
The home-seeker and the speculatOr

these lots will surely double in value before
the second payment becomes due, and in a
few years, as everybody can see, they will
have great value.

Construction Work.

Fast work will soon be resumed on
the new Southern Pacific branch rail
road from Templeton south tn ELL
wood, near Santa Barbara, and the
line will probably be completed this
year. 1t will be operated as a south

of the y. Il. Go There.
Yesterday morning, Mr.. John A.
Muir, Assistant Division Superintend-
ent of the Southern Pacific Company,
and Mr.. Joe H. Thompson, Train
master Of the same company, made
quick preparations for few days alb
sence, and departed together, at l
P. NJ, for San Francisco.
As Colonel f. E. Hewitt, the Divi-
sion Superintendent, is confined to his
room by illness, this virtually leaves
this division of the Southern Pacific
Company without its principal officers,
though Mr.. w. ]. Hamilton, the chief
train dispatcher, is thoroughly compe-
tent to "run" the business. The OBJ
ject OF the visit to San Francisco at
this time, it is thought, is to confer
with the authorities about the en-
largement of the yards in this city.
There has been much talk on this
subject for some time, and this will
probably settle it.

A PLEASANT TRIP.
MIR. G. T. Parsons Returns from
San Diego.

San Diego.
Mr.. G. T. Parsons, the genial city
passenger and ticket agent of the
Central Pacific and California South
ern Railroad system, returned yester-
day morning from trip to 'San
Diego, where be went to spend a few
days in rest from his desk in this city.
Mr.. Parsons says that the line be-
tween this city and San Diego is now
in good condition. The principal
trouble caused by the late rain storm
was in the Temecula Cailon and at
Oceanside. He reports travel East as
being great deal heavier this month
than last, and yet he does
not think SO many will return
East this Spring as went last. Not
nearly SO many excursion tickets are
being presented for stamping in order
to make the return journey.

His Home His Castle.

A local Jesse James gang brOk-
en- up recently in Grand Ira
verse County, Mich, with quite
sensational accomplishments. In
Mayfeld Township five brothers by
the name of Drost have lived for
some years. They have always borne
IA bad name and were a terror to the
whole surrounding country. For
some time highway robDeries have
occurred in the vicinity, and the num-
her was constantly increasing. Only
a few weeks ago three took place in
one night in Traverse City. The men
were relieved of small sums of money,
watches, &c. All of these crimes have
been laid at the door of the Drost
boys, and especially to 'Dirk'' the
eldest, but no direct proof was attain
able About a week ago Theodore
Castor, a young married farmer Iv-
ing in Mayfeld Township, sold ayOke
of oxen for $13O, and while
working out his highway tax on the
road with his neighbOrs, he told
i'Dirk" DrOst of this sale. One
night as Castor was about going
to bed some one knocked at his door.
He asked who was there. A man an
,swered thathe wanted a drink. Cas-
tors wife begged him not to admit
the callers. While they were talking
two men with blackened faces burst
open thedOOr, blew out the light, and
fired a revolver at Castor. He sprang
out of the door into the yard. The
men followed, seized him, and de-
manded his money. After a sharp
struggle he succeeded in breaking
away from his assailants and got
back to the house. Then be remem-
.bered an old shotgun which he had
borrowed from a neighbOr few days
before. He seized it from where it
hung on the wall, and in the darkness
shot at therObbers. At that moment
George DrOst stood near Castor in
the act of firing q revolver at him.
.''Dirll" DrOst was a little back of his
brother. CastOr's shot took of
Georges thumb, which rested on the
rev OIFGI5 anu pun 1OuL VI nF6 Blu -
into his shoulder. The rest of the
charge entered Dirk's lungs. The
robbers then retreated from thereon,
and Castor, barricading the door,
sat before it in his chair, with shot
gun in hand, all night, as he feared a
return Of the robbers. When day
light came he found ''Dirk'' DrOst
dead by the fence. The ground was
torn up by the struggles Of the fight.
"A loaded gun and revolver lay near
by. George DrOst had dragged him
self a mile to an old chOpping, where
in the morning his calls for help were
heard, and he was taken to a neigh
boring barn. He has been placed
under arrest, and has made full
confession of the crime In all it's de-
tails.

Asbury ParkLetter to Philadelphia Times.
An interesting pantOmime was en-
acted on the beach one evening recent
" in the presence Of 100 spectators.
A lovely woman was sitting upon
the bench holding in her lap the head
Of a young Apollo, lying full length
upon the sand. Suddenly a big man,
wearing a silk hat, came nOiselessly
up behind the pair and with his cane
pFodded the reclining young lover on
the shoulder. The latter sprang up
and his face turned white as he be
held the newcomer, who tapped him
on the shoulder and pointed up to
the bench. The Apollo started of
with out word In the direction in
dicaBed. Then the big man quickly
settled himself down on thesand and
placed his head In the girls lap.
She took it as a matter of course and
displayed no excitement. Not a word
was spoken by any one of the three
and the mysterious pantOmime Oc-
cured In less time than it takes to
describe it. No one understood the
she meaning Of the affair.

Railway System Of Germany.

The Importance of the railway sYs-
TEN to the army in the way of 1870
III has led the government to treat
it more and more as a branch of the
war department.. The officials are
preferred who can be turned to good
account in war time; military dis
cipline is maintained between the
employees of different ranks; the
WOrkmen salute their employers al
ways In rigid military form. An En-
glishman or American who steps out
for the first time upon German
railway platform cannot but feel
that he is an intruder in some mill
tary rehearsal. He hears stern COM
mands, sharp shifting of waFlike
heels; sees the dress Of soldiers and
other signs of military control. The
passengers are treated as though all
are under the authority of the of
ieials and sworn to prompt Obedi-
ence; if they ask a question it is with
much difhdence, and If they get a
rough, sharp answer it would not
occur to them to resent it. The Of
ficials, however, do not mean to be
uncivil-they find it difficult to be
soldiers and railway porters at the
same time-that is au-POultney

Gus employer, and in many instances
was also the discOverer of our best

was the first American publisher to
pay respectable prices for literary
wares. Bayard Taylor, whose earli-
est poems he published, was amazed
when Graham rendered him a S25

Cooper, rather contemptuOusly, add

Glow much do you want for each

"One hundred dollars in ad-
vance" was COOper's reply, pausing
before uttering the two last words.
as if he thought they would end the
matter. Without a moments hesita-
tiOn Graham wrote out and handed
Cooper a check for 81 900. The
stories were written and published
but Mr.. Graham believes they did his
