THE Interstate Commerce law is prac-
tieally failure. The evils that it was
intended tocure have continued or they
have been replaced by greater evils. The
shippers have as little chance under the
lew-fangled application Of an inadequate
law against a rich and skillful corpora.

Some Of the provisions are absurd. The
Pennsylvania Railroad Company has sent
out circulars to call particular attention
10 the amendment making shippers liable
TO Imprisonment and to fine OF So. 1000
for misrepresenting the contents Of a
package. The severity Of such law
makes it imperative. No matter
how dominant the influence Of
the railway may be such
penalties cannot be enforced. They

tive, and the same shippers that suffered
before also suffer now. The same great
corporations which enjoyed peculiar ad.
vantages before enjoy similar advantages
now. The peach growers Of this section
have placed their grievances against the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company before
the Interstate Commission in vain.
They suffer from the same determinations
and the same annoyances from which
they suffered two years ago. With cor.
rupt lobbying and skillful attorneys the
Pennsylvania Company is able to shape
or prevent any action by which the ship
pers would gain relief. The Interstate
Commerce Law is failure.

Beggars Who We're Not So
Very Blind.
EXPOSED BY THE DETECTIVES.
Shipments of Wine-Gossip About
the Utah Line-0ther Events
of Interest.

For several days past the presence Of
beggars whe represented themselves to
be blind, has been noticed on the streets.
In one place was to be seen man with
goggles over his eyes, and in front of an
other building young woman wearing
goggles and accompanied by two chill
dren, was to be found. Each division of
the party was supplied With musical
instrument, from which the most doleful
sounds were extracted by the blind art
lists. The police heard yesterday that
this band Of fakirs had only recently ar.
rived from San Francisco, and their sus-
picions were aroused. Yesterday evening
Detective Bowler thought he would inves-
tigate the man, whom lie found on street
corner. He asked him some questions and
then went into the adjoining store TO tel
ephone to the Police Station. After he
had seit the message hs went out Oh the
sidewalk to investigate the cause of the
sudden cessation of the music. He was
considerably surprised to see the blind
beggar q. block away, running as if he
were chased ny mad dog. TThere were
no signs of blindness in the mans gait.
About the same time Detective Wallin
thought he would investigate the
blind woman. Her two children
were clinging to her knees,
and were crying to be taken
home. She wore great goggles on her
eyes and solicited aid from the passers-
by. Detective Wallin thought that it
would be a good plan to take the woman
to the Police Station and remove the
children from the street, especially as it
was beginning to rain. AT the Police
Station the woman was requested to take
off her goggles. She was assisted in
this, and it was found that she could
see as we'll az anyone else. She was
given few words of good advice and
sent to clearinghouse with her children.

At very early period in the history
of this section young man named Ber-
nard Newman came here from Kenosha,
Wisconsin, and took up piece of land
in Azusa. In 1874, in dispute over
land, thing Newman was always up to
the eyes in, he shot Deputy Sheriff.
While in Jail for the crime he decided his
possessions to his brother John, who was
still in Wisconsin. Later John
died, but Bernard let the deed
stand. After the brothers. death
his family came on here to him, but soon
after their arrival Bernard died. Then
came the guardians of one George B.
Maldonado, claiming that Newman had
adopted the boy, and as ouch adopted
child that he was heir TO Newman lands.
The family from Wisconsin vacated and
gave the claimant possession. Now
come these relatives Of the dead Bernard
and seek to recover the land, said to be
worth $25, 900.

THE UTAH LINE.
III ore RumOrs of the Construction
of the Proposed Road.

IN ore Rum0rs of the Construction
of the Proposed Road.
The Virginia (Nevada) Chronicle, of the
18Th, says: The construction of line of
railway from Salt Lake through Nevada
to Los Angeles, is an assured fact. AS
heretofore stated in the Chronicle the
chief Of the Union Pacific civil engineer
corps recently passed over the Carson
and Colorado in company with Superin-
tendent H. M. Yerington and his assist
ant, r. j. Laws, to inspect the surveyed
route south Of Keller, and mining en-
gineer is now inspecting the resources of
the country along the route selected
between Keller and Los Angeles for the
purpose Of reporting whether it trsverses
the most promising mining districts.
The Chronicle has reliable authority
for the statement that the construction
of the proposed line will begin early in
1890. The line will pass within between
forty and fifty miles Of Kesler, the pres
ent terminus Of the Carson and Colorado,
and the track of that road will be ex-
tended to connect with the Union Pa
ciic.

LOCAL MELANGE.
Held Up" for Six Bits Near
Pasadena.
R0BBER KNOCKED OUT.
Notes Picked Up in Criminal Circles
Yesterday-Other interest
ing News.

About half-past O'Clock last night
mlddie-aged man, named w. Robinson,
was brought up from Pasadena by Con-
stable =. Peters, and lodged in the
County Jail to await trial upon charge
OF attempted highway robbery. Accord
ing to Peters version of the story. Il
appears that Robinson held up 8,
buggy containing gentleman
who had formerly been Chief Of
Police at Virginia City, Nevada, while
the latter was driving into South Pasa-
dena. The wculd-be highwayman after
stopping the vehicle. demanded s'six
bits'' from the driver, and insisted upon
the latter's dismounting so that he could
be searched. Meeting with re-
fusal, Robinson stepped forward to
enforce his demand, but received
such blow in the left eye for his pains
as to cause total eclipse of that organ
for SOME time to come. His victim then
drove to house near by, and, obtaining
assistance, took Robinson into custody
ard handed him over to the Constable at
South Pasadena. Robinson was seen in
the middle tank at the County jail last
night with huge beefsteak poultice over
his eye. He stated in reply to the re-
porter's questions that he simply stepped
up and asked a man in buggy for "six
bits" when the latter struck him. In
speaking of the force of the blow, Robin
son insisted that his assailant "must be
some relation to John L." He said that
he came to this State about eighteen
months ago from Monroe county, New
York, and during his residence
in California he claims to have
worked as laborer for farmer named
Hopkins, at Ventura, and also for A. B.
@. Wilson, of Perris, in San Diego
county. His appearance, however, some
what bellies these statements, and very
little credence is given to them by the
officers. who are of the opinion that he
is an all-round "crook."
