IMPROVEMENT is reported all along
the line in real estate circles. The
sales for the past week number 756,
or an avarage of 1875 per day. The
recorded considerations aggregate
$1,S13,975. The sales of the previous
week were a little larger. If the
month should continue to run at this
rate the total would be nearly $s,OOO,.
600. The sales are much larger in
number and in amount than at the
same period of last year. January,
1888, overtopped the record Of the
same month in 1887 by $1,000. 900.
All indications point to more active
year in real property in this section
than has yet been chronicled. Unless
all signs fail there will be great bust.

A railroad man who has been talk
ing with Utah Southern officials states
that they have received orders to have
rerything in readiness, SO that the
day the engineers reports are acted
on favorably at Omaha, men and plant
can be put in the field and the exten-
sion pushed at the rate of three to five
miles per day toward Los Angeles.
So the Southern, aided by the Union
Pacific construction department., has
already begun arranging for heavy
force Of graders and tracklayers, and
contracting for ties and rails. No time
will be lost. 1t is predicted in the
Union ticket office, as we'll at the Den
yer and Rio Grande Western office,
that this will start the South
ern Pacific to actively defend
ing itself from its new rival
by adopting the still-born Salt Lake &
Los Angeles Railroad babe as its
child. With the Santa Fe swarm ng
all over what the Southern Pacinc
once claimed rs its own natural ter
ritory, and the Union Pacific about to
take hand in the game, with two or
three other transcontinental roads
bound towards the Coast, the South
ern Pacific folks will be pushed, to
say the least.-[Salt Lake Tribune.
The above from our Salt Lake
neighbour is to the point, and indi-
Gates early and active operations on
this great enterprise. 1t is fraught
with the most lively interest to Los

Few events in the history OF this
State have carried on their face prom.
ise Of greater results than does the
visit of the National Horticultural
Convention, which was in session al
Riverside last week. The members
of this body came from nearly every
State in the Union. They are ex.
perts in these industries which must
always form the corner-stones, the
foundations and the superstructure
Of California's prosperity. These gen.
tlemen have visited all sections
of our State, and now they will return
home to tell what they have seen and
what they think Of us and of our future.
The HERALD has been at particula,
pains to lay all the proceedings of tkif
convention before the people oi
Southern California. The effort is q
great one, and burdens our col.
umns in no small degree. The
fine EXHIBITS Of fruit from some
thirty of our towns had to be passed
over for the time being. But our rep
resentative has full notes of all these,
and will'describe them in time. The
Impressions of leading fruit growers
from other States have been Sc
cured. Their views concerning
California will appear hereafter in the
shape of short interviews. They will
all be of the most fattering character
concerning the future prospects of our
State in these fascinating and profit
able enterprises.

SURPRISE need seize no one ifsome-
thing hard and heavy is heard to drop
in Europe any day. Prince Bismarck 3
speech may have said just what it is
generally accepted for, but other oc-
currences contemporaneous Herewith
do not seem to indicate that such is
the case. The Reichstag has voted
$40, ,000,0 900 for army uses. The avail
able military force OF the German
Empire has been increased by the
enormous addition Of 100000 men.
In all army centers there is a
busy hum Of active preparations.
In fact, but for Bismarck's address,
one would be led to conclude that war
is most imminent. When so wiley a
diplomatist as Prince Bismarck says
what he thinks, new departure will
be chronicled in the history OF diplo-
macy, In 1870 France was busily en-
gagged in warlike preparations, the
Emperor was most emphatic in his
statements that he was only
preparing for peace, and did
not want war. But in spite
of all protestations, and OF the preva-
lence of that ominous calm which
marked the outgivings of all Europe,
the war cloud swept down from Ger.
many in a day, and all along the
Rhine was blaze of artillery and
the rattle of musketry. This may
be seen again.

Our esteemed contemporary, the
Tribune, in its issue of yesterday, de-
votes a large portion of its editorial
space to a plea for the establishment
OF the Postoffice on Fort street, south
of Sixth. The plea reads like a bit
of rather thin special pleading, as no
reason, worthy the name, is advanced
to show why this public office should
be removed to so great and inconven-
lent a distance from the business CEN
ter of the city. To man up tree it
looks as if subservient devotion
to private interests had inspired
our esteemed neighbor. But We do
not find fault with the Tribune part
ing with editorial opinion on such
low ground. 1t is none OF our busi-
ness, and San Francisco court, in q
case where the Bulletin of that city
was one of the parties in interest,
decided that newspapers have right
to thus dispose Of their influence if they
see fit so to do. We believe that the
Court stated in the opinion that in the
case OF certain class of papers such
a transaction would not lower the es-
innate in which they are already held
by the community. But when the
Tribune says that the other papers Of
this city have no right to hearing on
the proposition of locating the post
Office, and seeks to establish this po-
sition by the statement that all the
newspapers of this city excepting the
Tribune were dumb during the time
this question was in suspense, and
neglected to urge the people to
make tenders of suitable sites,
then the matter does become our
business. The HERALD is mentioned
by name as one of the papers whose
pleading is to be thrown out on this
ground. And when the Tribune says
the HERALD neglected to give atten-
ton in this matter, it makes a state
ment which is absolutely and
grossly false. The HERALD most
urged on the owners of
property to make such tenders, and it
is aim ost-shall we say utterly, be-
yond the power of belief that our
neighbor did not know this when it
wrote the gross falsehood referred to.
But on second thought, perhaps our
subservient neighbor did not know
this. There is much it does not know.

Court street is a small one.

Court street is small one. But it
calls for prompt attention on the
part of the authorities. The grading
OF this short block seems to have
been done under two separate con-
tracts. The grader who made the
north side of the street along the old
Court House, and the one who made
the other side of the street along the
Lanfranco property, seem to have
acted in very Independent manner.
For the grade on one side is several
inches higher than it is on the other.
The result is not only highly
inartistic one, but also one some
what dangerous to those who may
have occasion to drive along this bit
of thoroughfare. 1t is block where
much travel is done, and where a
good street is needed if the safety OF
the public is thing worthy of atten-
ton. Will the proper official see to
this?

sewer is a necessity. There is no en-
terprise now under way in Los An
geles Of SO vital importance as this
hotel. The attractiveness Of the city
as a climatic resort is most SER
iously handicapped at this
moment for lack of just such hostlery.
Private enterprise is now engaging in
the work of constructing a hotel which
will be an ornament, a credit, and a
means of growth and business to
the city when completed. The Coun-
Gil will be sacrificing the best inter

The sewer system will come before
the Council tomorrow, and the ques-
ton of extending the Main-street
artery of that system will be con-
sidered. 1t is reported that adverse
action upon this proposition is likely
to be taken. If the report is correct,
it is greatly to be regretted. Main
street ought to be severed, and that
at once. Waving the fact that all
that section of the city is dependent
for an outlet for it's sewage on
he artery in question, there is the

Two Men Badly Injured by Vicious
Brute.
PARKERsBuRo, W. VA, Aug 19.-Mr.
Samuel Bebbie, of Pond Creek, Jackson
County, went into one of his fields day
or two since to yoke up bull which he
had been in the habit of working. When
Bebbie got close enough to catch the ami
nal by the horns it suddenly turned and
tossed him into the air. He fell twenty
feet distant, when the bull rushed after
him and gored him In the side. The boy
who had accompanied Bebbie fortunately
was armed with heavy club, with
which he succeeded in beating off the bull.
Henry Bebbie, son Of Samuel, concluded
to subdue the animal, but was himself
tossed and gored terribly, and would have
been killed outright but for the opportune
arrival of ten or twelve men, who were
armed with clubs and pitch forks. They
attracted his attention long enough for
him to toss one of their number clear over
the fence, knock down several others, and
to scatter the crowd. At last accounts
none of the injured men were dead.

Collision between Atlantic Passenger
steamers-A Hundred Persons Perish.
NEW YoRK, Aug. lG.-The steamer Wie-
land, Of the Hamburg American Stoam-
ship Line, has just brought nows Of col
lision OF Sable Island between the Geiser
and Thingvalla Of the Thingval!a
Line, which occurred at four
o'clock on the morning of August IL.
The Geiser sank In fvo minutes after the
collision and 105 persons were drowned.
The Thingynlln was so disabled that she
had TO put into Halifax after transferring
all her passengers TO the Wieland. The
Geiser had eighty-six passengers aboard.
seyenty-two OF whom were drowned or
killed In tho collision, and fourteen were
taken first on the Thingvalla and then on
the Wieland. The Geiser's crow numbered
fifty seventeen were saved and thirty three
were drowned. Captain Mollor, OF the
Geiser, was among those saved. The pas
sengcrs Of the Thingvalla transferred to the
Wieland numbered 459. The Geiser left
this port on August II, bound for Stettin.
The Thlngvalla was on her way to this
city, and was advertised to leave here on
August %. A very heavy sea and dense
fog were experienced through the night
and early morning Of August IA. tits said
an object could not be distinguished fifty
feet away by reason Of the fog. Stories differ
MS TO where tho liability lies, II not wholly
due 10 the fog and heavy sea, but the
Thlngyala struck the Geiser on the star
board side amidships, close on to four
O'Clock in the morning. The boats
then parted, and within five min
utes the Geiser sank. The crew OF the
Thingyalla did all they could to save the
Geiser's crew and passengers while still in
doubt as TO whether the Thingvalla was
not dangerously disabled but owing to
the heavy sen only thirty one were saved.
No other vessel was near at the time. Tho
Wieand, ON her way TO this port, was ono
hundred miles away. At balf-past eleven
o'clock ON the morning of the Iith the
Wielhnd was sighted. Signs Of distress
wero made by the Thingvalla, and a trans
fer of passengers began. The sea was
then heavy, but no mlshaps occurred in
tho transfer OF passengers.

TRAIN ROBBERS Fo1LED.
Brave Brakeman ResIsts Their Onslaught,
and They Are Compelled to Flee-A Posse
Hot on Their Trail.


RAwLIss, wy. T., Aug. 1o-At 8 a.. m.
the east-bound Union Pacific passenger
train was attacked by robbers at water-
tank two miles east Of Dana Station. The
engineer, Breeze, was oiling his en-
eine, and Fireman Wailen was giving the
engine water from the tank, when three
men rushed up to the front end Of the train
and cried out: "Hold up your hands,
you -" The engineer did SO, and
the fireman jumped down from the
tender and was shot as soon as he
struck the ground, receiving flesh wound
in the right arm. In the meantime con-
slant fire was kept up on the train by
some of the robbers concealed by the
darkness, and about fifty yards from the
train. The front brakeman, VIM. Tillman'
when told to hold up his hands did SO,
when the order was repeated: Higher,
you = l' Ho was standing on the steps of
the engine at the time, so ho lifted MS
hands higher, his lantern dropped, when
he was ordered to pick 1t up again. lie
stopped down to do so, and at the same
time grasped lump Of coal and smashed
the robber in the face, staggering him back
ward, and then jumped on him des-
perate hand to hand conflict took place,
both men rolling down the cinder bank into
the track ditch. The brakeman was finally
shot in the arm and through the hip,
splintering the bone, the bullet, forty
five caliber, passing out. When the rob-
bers found they were foiled, they aban-
doned the attack and fed. Thepassengers
were uninjured A posse Of men, mounted
on feet horses and well armed, left Rawlins
on special train for Dana, led by Deputy
Sheriff Hanks. They struck the trail
OF the robbers mile and half north OF
the scene of attack. The camp of the rob-
bers was found. Their horses were newly
shod, and tho trail easy to follow. The
brakeman's cap was found two hundred
yards south Of the tank, dropped there by
the robbers in order to mislead the pursuit
Five hundred dollars per head for the rob-
bers, dead or alive, is offered by the Union
Pacific Company, and $500 by the Governor
