Another RAILROAD.

The San Francisco Bulletin says:
The railroad which is to be con-
structed from Montague eastward
through Modoc county, and into Ne
vada and Idaho, is now an assured
fact, and it will not be many days
before a large force of men will be
put to work on this branch of the
line. This will cut off the Union Pa
cifc railway from securing the ex>
tensive stock shipments it procures
from that section of land. 1t is said
the Southern Pacific Company will
build this line through to Kelton,
Utah, making connection with their
main overland route at that place.
The idea is, an official states, to
secure Oregon and Washington
business, which the Union Pacific
and the Northern Pacific railroads
now have full control of. This will
practically give the Southern Pa
cifo Company three overland routes
east, and will mako it the strongest
railway corporation in the world"

The Tennessaa.

A smart-stepping citizen Of Ten
nessee was in New York a few days
ago to see about raising money for
a proposed railroad line down in his
country, and when asked to explain
be said:
There's no explanation about it.
This is to be o railroad 200 miles
long"
But about the company"
"Oh. that's been organized and
all the officers elected"
What's the capital?"
Fifty million dollars"
How much stock has been
taken?"
About $500 WORTH"
What, only $500 WORTH"
That's all, mister, and if you
fellers down here will only pitch in
and gobble up the rest of it. we'll go

Yesterday John Dennis assumed the
duties and responsibilities Of Meter and
Reflner at the Mint, and imagining that
he was once more in a printing Office,

"pull out" Finally he rushed up to
the place where they were melting silver,

World, who has recently come from
Europe says it is not considered at
all fashionable for ladies to wear
matched hose, and lie expects the
epidemic will soon reach this
country. When it does come there
will be a jolly time at the hosiery
counters. The craze for mismatched
hose will be q god send to many who.
while falling in with the fashion,
can justify their unfortunate posi-
tion in regard to finances. Young
men who have several pairs of stock
ings, each sadly dilapidated, can
pick out the better one of each pair,
and thus get up a combination of
pairs which will relieve them Of
unnecessary expenses. This mis-
matched hose scheme will prove
beneficial in the same sense that the
colored shirt did in saving young
men from reckless expenditures in
the matter of shirts and collars, too.
Tramps can now receive donations of
one stocking without any injury to
the dignity which would have been
shocked heretofore by the present of
anything less than a full pair. The
ladies. of course, will find an in
definite amount of amusement in
trading for a single stocking to
make outlandish contrasts. and on
muddy days the lockers will behold
such views of kaleidoscope hosiery
flashing over cutters as will dazzle
the eyes and induce color blindness

THE LONDON POLICE.
some of the work TO be Done by
the small Army.


The London police, like all the in
situations of that vast metropolis, is
arranged upon a gigantic plan. The
Superintendents. Inspectors, Ser
geants and constables make up an
army 1880 strong-a truly for
midable force, but none too large
when considered that the metropol-
itan police district extends over a
radius Of fifteen miles from ChariDg
Gross. exclusive of the city of Lon
don and its liberties, and embraces
an area of 68S miles, Of q ratsble
value of 933, 800, 900 per year. Over
such an area as this, including. as it
does, a population $500, 900 persons,
there is of course q vast amount
Of work to be done, and it must be
borne in mind that the duties of the
London police are not limited to the
taking into custody of criminals and
disorderly persons and the watching
Of property. and include such
duties as the carrying out of the
smoke abatement acts, the inspection
of common lodging-houses. regula-
ton Of street traffic, and at certain
times the onerous duty of taking up
stray dogs, all Of which duties are
anything but light in a town like
London; nor are they likely to be-
come less arduous, seeing that dur
ing the year 1886 12.252 new
houses were built within the police
district, making twenty-nine miles
of new streets. Chambers Journal.

the Justices Court.
Charles H. II. Raymond. who was ar
rested several weeks ago on charge of
obtaining money under false pretenses,
was examined before Justice Taney yes
terday afternoon. The prosecution
showed that he had deposited draft in
the First National Bank on certain par
ties in New York for 2,250 on which he
was to be allowed to draw 500. He
left Los Angeles and continued to draw
until the bank had met obligations to
the extent of about $500. The bank then
refused to make any further payments
until it received better security. 1t was
shown that he continued to draw after
the bank had refused him money and
that he acted in way to
justify suspicion. The defense
showed that the understanding with
the bank was of a kind to make his
drafts reasonable and that he had on a
previous occasion obtained $500, and had
proved himself the possessor of that
much credit in the East. Raymond him
self declared that whenever his affairs
were Strengthened out in the East he
would readily clear this matter up, and
that in all his acts he was free from
wrong intent. AS result of the exam
ination Raymond was held to answer on
bail of $1,000. He is a stranger and was
unable to secure bail, so he was remand
ed to the County Jail to await trial.

A WAR OF WORDS.
An Entertaining Little Episode
Which Harmed No One.

Which Harmed No One.
Councilman Collins and Mr.. M. w.
Dodd met in the Mayors Office yesterday
afternoon and there was an immediate
'ruction. Said Mr.. Collins to Mr.. Dodd,
as he slammed down five double-eagles
on the Mayors desk, "I'll bet you hun
dred that you are liar. can't make a
slanderer take back his words, but can
take his money on false charges" Mr..
Dodd was no chicken, but would not bet,
and hurled back the lie with dramatic
effect. Noses were brought nearly into
communication with vibrating index fin
gers, and shindy was under violent
headway when the Mayor begged
of the hot.headed gentlemen to
respect the royal ermine and the
office. Mr.. Collins begged the
Mayors pardon, Mr.. Dodd said he was
hard colt to ride, and then there was
another go-as-you-please set-to Of words.
A gentleman present with most lumin-
GUS flag" on and with gravity born of
the wine when it is red, poured his lub-
relations on, and the melange became
interesting, only to be dissipated by the
kindly dignity of the Mayor. Council
man Collins departed without malice,
and Mr.. Dodd remained to pour his COM
plants into the willing ear of Mr.. Hum
phreys, P. G.
1t appears that the trouble and the hot
words came about in this wise. Mr.. Dodd
built some houses at the corner of Tur-
ner and Alameda streets, which Mr..
Collins declares are "cribs" and
are occupied by women of
pleasure. Mr.. Collins has made
war upon them because he thought that
they were disgrace to the vicinity, in
which he has business, and in which he
owns property. Mr.. Dodd has made a
complaint to the Police Commissioners,
that Mr.. Collins, one Rooney and Miss
Cora Phillips are in league to unjustly
drive him and his tenants off the street.
Mr.. Dodd says that he has as much
right on Alameda street as Miss Cora or
other gay maidens. Furthermore, he
says he won't 60. Some interesting de-
velopments are expected at the next
meeting of the Commission.
