to prescribe Ayers Cathartic Pills for
several sick men among party Of engi-

RUSSIAN RAILROADS.
Mail Trains Only Average 2t
Miles an Hour.

MAN Trains OnIy AVerSSe ~
Miles an Hour.
1t is said by Engineering that the
Russian Ministry OF Railroads is now
engaged in considering whether or
not it is possible to increase the speed
of mail trains in the Russian Empire.
At present they run at an average
speed OF 20 miles an hour, including
stoppages, and it is desired to increase
this to an averaga OF 23 miles. 1t is
said that on some lines the speed OF
the mail trains does not average
16 miles an hour, and the ordinary
passenger train does not exceed IL
miles, while on the best line in Russia,
between st. Petersburg and Moscow,
the ordinary passenger train speed
is 15 miles an hour. The fastest train
in Russia is the courier train between
st. Petersburg and Moscow, which
makes, including stops, 28 miles an
hour. This train carries no mails and
consists only Of few frst-class car
riages Exauaples can be found on one
or two branch linessof @train running
at 10 miles an hour, and, even then
regularly arriving labe. tits suggested
that instead of trains of twenty car
riages drawn by two locomotives run
ming with the mailgoncela day on the
main lines, it would be better to have
two trains Of ten carriages each, run
ming night and morning, but for the
present the efforts Of the Ministry are
concentrated upon raising the speed
Of mail trains from 20 to 23 miles an
hour.

Christian Charity.

A petition is being circulated in the
valley for the benefit of worthy OBJ
ject, and we are glad that it is meet
ing with many liberal responses.
About twenty years ago. Mr.. Dalton
commenced suit against the settlers
to dispossess them of their home
steads. 1t was believed then, as has
been proven since, that the grant
lines fioated over considerable more
territory than rightfully belonged
to it. Fraudulent surveys had been
made, under which the Azusa grant
lines extended to the Puente grant on
the south and the San Jose on the
east, but it was known to few men
that there was large tract Of land
lying between those grants, and they
entered it as government land. When
the suit against the settlers had been
inaugurated by Mr.. Dalton, the land
Office ordered new survey, and ac-
cording to the grant, as recorded, the
new survey made by Hancock threw
out as government land about 1000
acres more than the settlers claimed.
There was one man who knew more
about the lines OF the grant than any
other, except the owner Of the grant,
Mexican by the name of Narciso Bo-
tello. This man, though offered a
comfortable fortune to testify in be-
half of the grant, or leave the United
States entirely, preferred to take his
chances with the settlers, and it was
mainly due to this learned and hon.
orable mans testimony that the
Hancock survey was sustained bo the
General United Safes Land Office, ,and
the settlers allowed to remain in pos
session OF their homes. Narcisco
Botello is now cid, in6rm, and poor,
and if the settlers whom he helped to
win their fight against the grant do
not interest themselves in his behalf,
he will have to be sent to the poor
house. His testimony in behalf of
the settlers wrested this beautiful
valley from the grasp of greed; now
let those who are reaping the benefit |
see to it that he is kept from want and
the poor house. II Gladstone Expo

Last Monday was election day and
Messrs. Goldethwaite, Reiser, Little

pect much from the town trustee and
as all the gentlemen elected are en-

that we shall have some very much
needed and solid improvements. Mr.

one is built here.

DIR. Gardeners little daughter has
been dangerously i'll with pneumonia
and this week four doctors were in
consultation over the case, but she is
doing better now and hopes are enter
tanned for her speedy recovery.
DR.. Bullard met with a rather seri-
GUS accident on last Tuesday by his
horse taking fright at something and
running away throwing the doctor out
on his head and he lay insensible for
long time. His buggy was wrecked.
The Doctor is now able to be out
again, however. Drs Hardin and
Swasey also had narrow escape the
same day from runaway caused by
the smoke of passing freight train
and the barking Of a vicious dog.
1t is reported that between $500

BY ELECTRICITY.
A Train That Will Travel 45O
Miles Per Hour.

A recent issue of the RailDay Age
contains the following interesting
item:
An electric railway which is to re-
duce the time between New York and
Chicago to two hours-making a speed
of about 450 miles per hour-is now
the dream of a Baltimore inv entor.
AS the question will naturally arise
what device is provided for restoring
their breath to the passengers by this
very rapid conveyance, it will re-
lieve our readers minds to know
that, so far at least, the in
ventor does not contemplate
rushing human beings across the con-
tinent at this speed, but only pro-
poses to send letters, valuable parcels,
periehable fruit and special express
matter on his lightning train, which
is to consist Of a single small car with
out engine or trainmen. The car will
simply be fred off like a cannon ball
from one terminus and, will shoot
along through the air on light
elevated tract, until it reaches point
SAY ten miles sfom the New
York or Chicago terminus, when
the current will be cut off
and it will gradually slow Gown
until, by means Of a ltlp lever, brakes
are applied, bringing it to a stand.
The cost of this remarkable railway
is figured out to be the exact sum Of
$5,379 per mile for double track and
1896 per mile for single track. In
ventions that seemed much more
wild than this are now in successful
operation. 1t is not safe in this age Of
the world to undertake to draw the
line between impracticable theory and
actual practice.

The Providence Journal has got
around to the work which we expected
to see it take up, the exhibition and
denunciation of the shameless brib-
cry which characterized the recent
election in Rhode Island. The pub
lie conscience may well be aroused
by such a story as is elsewhere
printed. 1t is shocking exhibition.
Something needs to be done about
this matter. By the constitutional
amendment just ratified, which lifted
restrictions on the suffrage, at least
10000 voters Of foreign birth are likely
to be added to the present body with
in the next three years. Are they to
be bought like sheep in the shambles

THE WHEEL WORLD.
A Wreck on the Tehachipe
Mountain.
NUMBER 10 TEN HOURS LATE.
Heavy West-bound Travel Over
the Santa Fe Line-Dep0t
Gleanings.

A big wreck but fortunately at
tended with no loss of life, occurred
yesterday morning on the Southern
Pacific at Sandcut on the Tehachipe
Mountain, ten miles this side of Sum
ner. A freight train which, in addi-
tion to its regular engine, was drawn
by the Governor, the largest loco
motive in the Southern Pacific's SER
vice, was slowly climbing the steep
mountain grade, when one of the
Governors" valves gave away. 1t
being impossible to proceed farther,
the huge twelve-wheeler proceeded
to back up to Sandcut So as to trans
fer its load to another engine. In the
meantime a special freight train,
north-bound, was approaching, and
was coming along at a lively rate, as
is usual when descending a hill. A
curve concealed the two trains from
each other. and round it came the
special, dashing into the "Gov-
ernor" with such force as
to derail the three en-
gines and ten OF the cars. Although
the particulars obtainable are meagre,
it must have been pretty bad collis-
ion as one of the engines is reported
to have been burned up. The reports
received state that no one was hurt,
which appears rather remarkable
considering the manner in which the
accident occurred, and shows that the
trainmen must have seen the inn
pending danger in time enough to
leap for their lives.
Wrecking crews were dis. s.atched to
the scene of trouble as soon as the
disaster became known, but in spite
of the efforts of the laborers, passen-
ger train No. 10, due here at 7:30 P.
NJ. from San Francisco was bulletined
at midnight as ten hours late No.
20 however left this city on time as
usual.

PUBLIC BUILDINGS.
WORK upor. she C6iirt House and
City Hail PrOgressiog.

Los Angeles is to have two large
public buildings of which it may
well be proud, and to which it can
call the attention of neighboring cities
and towns, and invite them, if they
would assume metropolitan airs, to
initiate. Reference is made to the
new Court House ON the corner of
Fort and Temple, and also to the new
City Hall on Fort, between Second
and Third streets. These two build
ings are under contract to be finished,
the Court House in three years and
the City Hall by the first day of De-
cember next. A gentleman promi-
nently connected with the work upon
both buildings states that the allotted
time is sufficient, and that both con-
tracts will be fulfilled to the letter.
The Court House begins to show dis
tinctly what large building it is to
be. The foundations, as has been stated
before, are entirely finished, and the
work Of putting up the walls is well
under way. Almost six courses of
granite have been placed above the
foundations, and the workman will
reach the first sill course by the last
part OF next week. This part of the
walls is to tie of granite and the re-
mainder Of marble. The finishing
will be of carved Arizona sandstone,
The contractor OF this structure, o.
e. Brady, of San francisco, is doing
all his own work. He has his own
teams, with stables ON the grounds !;
his blacksmith shops, at which the
tools of the worklnen are sharpened.
Thee blacksmiths are kept constantly
at work for this purpose. There are
now in all about fifty men employed.
About twenty Of these are stoue-cut-
Iters, and the remainder are masons,
carpenters, letc. There is, as yet, no
marble upon the ground, but it will
be. ON hand when needed
Work on the City Hall is pro-
crossing most favorably now, though
tue wet weather Of he.Spring caused
considerably delay in the construction
OF the foundations. But the founda-
tions were entirely completed some
time ago, and now the walls are six
courses above the ground and the
woIkmen will have reached the s:l
course by this evening. This applies
to the entire wall, that is, all around
the building. The building fronts or
Fort street, and the big tower, which
is to be one hundred and sixty fee
thigh, is now the highest part Of thu
work completed. The front of th,
building will be of Arizona BROW
sandstone from Flagstaff, Arizona
and the sides and rear of dark pressed
brick finished with the stone abov
mentioned. A contract for about on
thousand lineal feet of thi
stone carved, for ornamental finishin
is to be let Immediately, ant
q very handsome sample was seen b

working on the stone work, and abou

He did not think it necessary to put

distance to be covered was not far and
the work was very easy. He said that
work on the new wharf at San Pedro
would begin at once, and he would
