a Promising Excursion.

The Burlington excursion which
will leave this city on Thursday will
doubtless be on as large scale as its
predecessors. ghe care taken by the
company of it's patrons, and the
courteous manner in which they are
treated in this city by Messrs. Quigley
& Scott, the representatives OF the line,
are the chief reasons Of the success of
these excursions.

Mo- Very Likely.

The statement made by the San
Diego San to the effect that the Chi
capo and Rock Island road intends to
obtain possession OF the Cuyamaca
road is regarded by railroad men in
this city as ridiculous. The Rock
Island road has decided not to build
westward beyond Colorado Springs
this year, and the surveys toward the
Pacific coast that have been made
have not inclined at all toward the
direction indicated by the Sun.

CAUGHT BY THE CARS.
An Old Gentleman Run over at
San Pedro.

san FcdrO.
A sad accident occurred about .
O'Clock yesterday afternoon in the
yards OF the Southern Pacific at San
Pedro. AS switch engine No. l3 was
passing near Lindskow's boathouse,
an old gentleman named Mooney
attempted to jump aboard Of her. He
missed his footing and fell onto the
track. and the engine passed over him
crushing both his legs and mashing
one of his arms. He also received
severe injuries about the head, and
the doctors pronounced his condition
hopeless. His son, fireman on No:
l42 in the Los Angeles yards, seemed
completely stunned on hearing thu.
news and left at once for the scene OF
the disaster.

Delayed Freight.

Another grievance is heard regard
ing freight, and this time the trouble
is said to be on the Santa Fe line:
The motive power in the possession O.
this system has been so insufficient
that $500 delayed cars, mostly in
Southern California, are said to be
strung out along the line. The state
ment made though the other day at
the Offices of the company in this city
to the effect that the line was now en-
abled to supply locomotives for any
purpose required, is evidence that the
trouble is approaching termination.

at by the committee the night before,
but all freight was left lying idle, and
the yards contrasted remarkably with
their usual active appearance. There
being no work for them, thirty-fye
men in the freight-hoyse were laid
off, but the engineers and firemen
were held in readiness for set
Element OF the dispute. Luckily
there was not very much freight due,
as the road has been pretty well
cleared up since the recent blockade
and what did come along was side
tracked at convenient points. The
strikers announced themselves rs de-
termined to stand their ground and
the railroad officials appeared to be
equally unrelenting. A meeting OF
switchmen was called for 2 o'clock
and at that hour the entire force put
in an appearance and proceeded to
discuss the situation.
In the meantime dispatch had
been sent to General Superintendent
Fillmore, who was at Pomona, &C.
quainting him with the trouble and
he fastened to the city with all the
speed possible. After being clos
eted with Mr.. Muir for a short
time the following proposition was
sent over to the strikers: "1n future
one Of the night crews to 60 to work at G
p. NJ. and quit at 5 A. NJ. and the re.
mainder5to go work at 7 P. NJ. and quit
at 6 A. NJ, thus, after deducting the
luncheon hour, giving only ten hours
for days work."
As this was what the switchmen de-
manded it became certain that the
trouble would be settled, and few
minutes after the peace-messengel
was dispatched the meeting dispersed
the day men took off their coats and
went to work and the strike was over
1t appears that the whole affair was
the result of a misconception Of in
structions. When the grievance was
first laid before Mr.. Fillmore he saw
the necessity OF the situation and out
lined the above plan for settlement,
but the matter was not properly I'M
derstood by the officials here. The
Southern Pacific switchmen are a
Woodworking body Of men, as there is
an incessant call upon them during
working hours, owing to the enormous
business being done in Los Angeles.
They were determined not to
give way and it is said that there
would have been serious trouble had
the company attempted to put other
men in their places. Preparations
were, however, made at the depot for
such an exigency. and thirty armed
men were to be on hand last night in
case OF trouble. 1t is a good thing
that the matter has been settled so
soon as it would not take long to
blockade the road again, owing to the
great quantity of freight that is daily
passing through. That the difficulty,
however, would not last long was ex-
pected by all, for the Southern Pacific
is noted for never having any trouble
with its men,
