INVITING AN EPIDEMIC.
Beds crowded Into t

Twenty-two Beds Crowded Into the
 Garret of the Town House.
 Superintendent Pinney, of the aims house, says that something should be done at once to provide better accomo- dations for those under his charge. At the the present time there are 106 in- mates of the almshouse, twelve of whom are on the sick list. Some of the inmates are old and helpless, but many are able bodied men who were sent up from the police court, and who should have been sent to the county jail. To accommo- date his large family Superintendent Pinney has been obliged to place twenty two beds in the gerret. and great care has to be exercised to prevent the out break of an epide mic.

Purif1caufon of Bridgeport.

BRIDGEPORT, December 2Q.-rhe Sun day liquor law Is now more strictly en= forced than it has been for many years previous. Yesterday was the last Sun day before Chief John Rylands com. menced his duties. With the advent of the new chief radical change is promised and many of the liquor dealers realizing that fact have already shut up their side doors. The strict enforcement of the law Is not regarded by the lquor dealers as anything permanent. It is supposed that the new chief will make an effort to satisfy iaw-abiding citizens and church-g -goers who are clamoring for more quiet Sundays. Several places of ill-repute have offered their stock and furnishings for safe, with a view of leav- ing the city.

Business Booming in New Britain


 NEW BRITAIN, December 3O.-1t has just been announced that the factory of Peck, Stowe & Wilcox which has been closed for over a year, is to start up at once and give employment to over 200 hands. Arrangements have been made for the purchase of the plant by the Anglo-A American Electric Light Manu- featuring company of New York. They will go extensively into manufacturing storage batteries particularly for house purposes. Twelve thousand dollars have been subscribed in the new company by the capitalists of Kenslngton and this city. It is exp ected that work will begin at the factory in 30 days.

Immigration of Mosouitoes.

Mexico was never troubled by mosuui- toes until the summer of 1885. and since then these annoying little insects have been steadily increasing not only in this city, but in many towns and other cities of the table lands. Queretaro is the last place to be invaded, and the local paper there is endeavoring to explain the why and wherefore of the inf1iction. It finally traces the mosquitoes to car load of pineapples side-tracked for day or two at the central railway station of thAt city. This may be the true ex- planation, but we doubt it. Many hun- dred carloads of pineapples were brought to this city before it was invaded by mosquitoes in 1885, and if these pests could have been introduced in that way they would have swarmed here soon after the completion of the Mexican railway in 1872. In our opinion it is much more important to learn how to get rid of the mosquitoes than to ac- count for their coming.-City of Mexico Two Republics.

A remedy recommended for patients afflicted with the influenza is Kemp's Balsam, the specific for coughs and colds, which is especially adapted to the diseases of the throat and lungs.

Mail and Express Coming 1n-Lines .
Open Tomorrow.
The Santa Fe Railway Company now
formally announces that all it's lines will
be open and in running order by Thurs
day of this week, and that it will
receive freight for all points on that day.
With few transfers, all the lines in this
system will beopsn today.
Yesterday trains ran on the Santa Fe
between San Bernardino and San Diego
by the Temecula route, and between San
Bernardino and South Pasadena. Seven
tons of mail, local and overland, of the
last three days got into Pasadena yester-
day. 1t was the intention of the COM
pany to send out wagons after the mail
and the fifty-fve pieces of baggage which
came in at the same time, but as the
roads are still bad, and as it Was learned
that the bridge over the river is now
about completed, it was decided to let
things remain as they are until today,
when train can be run in from Pasa.
dena.
A great many people visited the river
yesterday to see how the work on the
bridges was progressing. The gang of
men who are cribbing at the Santa Fe
bridge above Buena Vista street had a
large crowd of spectators. By nightfall
the piers wera completed, and track
will be laid across this morning. A
train wiz be run out in the course Of the
day. 20 soon as the pile driver, which
Los Angeles daily herald., 1889-12-31

has been at work repairing the Ballona
bridge, can be dispensed with there it
will be brought down to start in on the
work OF rebuilding the bridge across the
river in a permanent fashion. The
cribbing is satisfactory for temporary
use, but should violent storm come on
it would all be swept away. If the rain
will hold off few days more permanent
repairs can be effected.
A train will probably get through the
Cajon from the East today. Yesterday
passengers were transferred through,
having to walk only short distance.
These were the members of the east
bound party which left here last Tuesday
and got only as far as San Bernardino.
Omnibus loads of passengers were
sent to Pasadena yesterday to 60 East on
the afternoon train.
The San Diego line will be open today
with transfer al Rivera. The 25Q pas
sengers from the East who we're caught
the other side Of the Cajon last Monday,
got into East Los Angeles yesterday
afternoon and we're brought over in omni-
buses. They completed the distance into
Los Angeles at about o'clock-a week
later than they had expected when they
left Kansas City. With them came q
quantity of mail which had collected at
Barstow during the three days that they
waited there before starting back to
Albuquerque.
By Wednesday noon the Southern Pa
cific will be in operation in all it's
branches. Number IS will leave for San
Francisco at 40 p. M, and No. 10 will
leave San Francisco for this city today at
the usual time of p. M, and will ar
rive here Wednesday afternoon at 4:l0-
barring unexpected delays, or set-backs
in the work of repairs.
A regular through train from the East
got into East Los Angeles on the South
ern Pacific yesterday at A 80, the Monte
bridge having been completed and all
the washouts repaired. The bridge over
tie river completing this connection was
finished late last night-a temporary
structure over which trains can move.

The upper bridge will begin work here to-
day. g
/ A force of 100 men has been sent down
to the Santa Ana branch and it is hoped
to have that open tomorrow or next
day.
An east bound train left East Los An
geles yesterday afternoon at 6, and an
accommodation train will run up to
Saugus this morning. The Santa Bar
oara division is still in bad way and no
rains can run for day or two.

THE RAILROADS.
The ScOtt-Marble Franchise Re-
YOkad-Olher Matters.

The Scott-NAarble Franchise Re.
vOked-Other matters.
The City Council yesterday took action
on the franchise granted about year
ago to L. F. Scott and J. M. @. Marble,
as agents for the Los Angeles, Salt Lake
and Atlantic railroad, for right of way
through this city. The agreement en-
tered into involved, on the part Of the
city, the placing of deeds to certain
pieces of property in escrow, and on the
part of the company the paying for the
construction of part of the approaches
to the bridges under which the track was
to pass, the putting in of o levee on the
east side of the river. and the beginning
of work on the line within year.
1t appears that the city failed to fulfill
it's part of the contract, for the deeds for
the property were never placed in escrow.
1t therefore becomes matter of doub.
whether the city can call upon the hold
ers of the franchise to fulfill their part of
the contract, and in default of their do
ing SO revoke the franchise. This ap-
pears to be the view of the case taken
by the holders of the franchise. Messrs.
Scott and Marble we're seen yesterday, :.
out they declined to make any comment
on the action of the Council. 1t is quite
evident, however, from the unconcern
which they exhibit that they do not con-
slider that they have lost anything by it.
Various things are hinted by people
who are we'll acquainted with the rami-
fications of this peculiar contract. 1t is
said that Messrs. Scott and Marble are
no longer the holders of the franchise,
that they merely acted as agents for
other parties and that in a short time
the nature of the whole arrangement
will be made public. 1t is also said that
work will be begun between here and
San Pedro in few weeks at the outside.
1t is quite possible that when the mail
blockade is raised, as it will be today,
some important facts will come out in
connection with the matter.

The Juch opera Company.

Next week a season of Grand English
opera by the Emma Juch company will
commence at the Grand. The roper
toire for the week will embrace the fol-
lowing popular operas Mignon, Mari
tona, Carmen, Die Freischutz, Faust, Bo-
hemian Girl and II Tropatore. The COM
pany embraces among its members a
number of the leading lyric stars of both
Europe and America, including such
well.known singers as Laura Bellini,
Frank Baxter, Lizzie Macnichol, Will
liam Castle, Fanny Gonzales, Charles
Hedmont, Susie Leonhardt, Alonzo Stod-
dard, William Bott and F. A. Guise.
The various operas will be staged in the
most gorgeous manner. The chorus will
number fifty fresh and powerful voices
and the orchestra will consist of thirty
two carefully selected musicians. Tax
ing the organization in its entirety, it is
without doubt the most thoroughly
equipped that has been seen in this city
for several years.

Miss Jarhaau.

Last night full house above and
below stairs at the Grand was novel
sight in these days. The attraction that
drew out the crowd was Miss Jarbeau.
She appeared here year ago in Starlight,
and when it Was announced that she
would entertain the playgoers of the city
in the same musical farce-comedy, her
admirers came out in force and
filed the house. The music,
dancing and "gags' all told. Some
of the gags" are trifle stale, and
there is a good deal of what they call
horse play in Italian, but it requires no
thought; it diverts the thoughts Of the
people from business and care and there
lore it pleased. 1t will be repeated this
evening.
