Attempt at Train Wrecking.

SACRAMENTO, December A bold at
tempt was made to wreck the south
bound Oregon express, which was due
here at 8 :55 this morning. Several ties
were laid across the track and one of the
rails had been pried off after the spikes
holding it had first been removed. The
scene of the attempted wreck was just
around the curve where the road comes
into the city from the river bridge
and the only thing that prevented a
wreck was the fact that freight, which
was moving slowly, struck the obstruc-
tions first, a short time before the
Oregon express came laundering along.
The wreckers had placed torpedoes on
the track, and the explosions led the
engineer of the freight train to slow up
and feel his way more carefully. At that
early hour all the express passengers
are commonly asleep and the loss of life
would have been great.

A Surprise on the Track.

AS the engineer Of freight train No. 81,
east bound, was looking out OF his cab
window yesterday afternoon on the up
grade, two miles this side OF Puente, he
saw a flat car laden with rails coming
unattended down the hill at top speed.
There was no way out of the difficulty
but to slacken up and meet it,
and the crash soon came, wrecking the
locomotive pretty badly and blocking up
the track. No one was hurt, however,
and beyond the delay and damage to
rolling stock no i'll results occurred. In
vestigation showed that the car had
broken away in the yards at Puente and
could not be captured before it had got a
good start down grade.

Reduction of Hours and Wages.

READING, December THE Phildadel-
phia and Reading Railroad Company
posted notices this afternoon notifying
their employees that on and after to-
morrow eight hours will be a days labor
instead of ten. There will be a proper
tionate reduction of wages. The
cause of the reduction of hours
is due to the suspension of coal
mines and all persons connected with the
coal traffic will also be reduced to eight
hours. This will enable the company to
keep all its men employed, but at shorter
hours.

ARCADIA,
Some Good improvements for This
Promising suburb.

Arcadia is making the right kind of a
move to increase her future attractive
ness and prosperity. A representative
OF the Messenger interviewed H. 4.
Unruh few days ago and learned from
him that among the immediate improve
ments to be made there is the creation
of fine park and the extensive planting
OF shade trees along the streets.
The park will be on the southern por-
ton of the block upon which the Hotel
Oakwood is built, aud is right in the CEN
ter of the town. 1t will be laid out in
an artistic manner, and will be orna-
mented with all kinds of semi-tropical
trees, shrubs and h)wers. There will be
fountains, arbors, statusry, ETC., and it
will be made as beautiful as such places
can be made only in this land of rapid
vegetable growths.
In regard to planting shade trees, Mr..
Unruh said palms and pines would be
set along both sides of all the streets
near the center of the town and along
the two railroads which cross there.
Further out pepper and eucalyptus trees
would be placed on both sides of the
streets, and on Falling Leaf and Orange
the trees would be extended TO the cor
porate limits of Monrovia, which, by the
way, is only about one mile from the
center of Arcadia.
All the lots in the town and all the
lands adjoining are now being plowed
and sowed to barley, and in a month s
time Arcadia will appeae like vast
meadow. Mr.. Unruh's fine residence
is one of the attractive spots. 1t is less
than year since this was completed
and work begun on the grounds. The
fire lawn and the profusion of flowers
and shrubbery are living and lovely
evidence OF what may be accomplished
in short time and with little care. The
flower farm is another beautiful spot,
and although it was started but little
over one year ago, it is miracle OF
loveliness.
The new Hotel Oakwood is be-
ing thoroughly fitted up and finely
furnished, and will he opened shortly to
the public. Mr.. Baldwins offices are in
part of this fine brick building. In an
swer to query concerning the proposed
halfmillion dollar hotel that was to be
built at the lie I'd OF Santa Anita avenue,
near the mouth of the cailon of the same
name. Mr. Unruh said the project was
not dead by any means. though he could
give no definite information concerning
it. The planting of trees on the grounds
that were set apart for this hotel still
continues and there is as fine young
orange grove there as can be found any
where. The site is one that cannot be
surpassed and we would all rejoice to see
the hotel built.
One thing is evident, that if the work
of improvement is carried out as outlined
a bright future is before Arcadia. This
Monrovia would welcome, for the two
towns are so close together that their
growth will to all practical purposes make
them one city, Monrovia Messenger.

SUMMARY FOR NOVEMBER.
WEATHER.-The storms on the Pacific Cos st
during the past month have been noteworthy
for the general absence of high winds and for
the low latitude in which many of them were
frsi observed. To this latter circum stance is
due the abundant rainfall in California during
the month and the comparatively small rain
fall in the Northern districts.
TEMPERATURE.-Them mean temperature for
the month has been slightly higher than the
normal temperature for November in all dis
tricts west of the Rocky Mountains. The
greatest departure from the normal tempera-
lure (averaging about five degress) occurred in
Northern Nevada, and the least in Washing gton
Territory.
RAINFALL-The mouthly rainfall has been
in excess throughout California al d has been
less than the normal amount in Oregon and
Washington Territory. The marked increase
in precipitation with increased latitude which
is usual on the Pacific Coast did rot appear in
November, the rainfall at Los Angeles. in the
South, being nearly equal to that of Portland in
the North. The following table of rainfall
at selected stations shows the distribution of
rainfall for the month and season:
