Mr.. Ryan is an efficient mechan-
ic whose head has become gray
in the trade. He has several
rooms for use as an Office and store
room, but they are not equal to his
needs but the company have prOmis-
ed more petentiOns quarters. He has
a force of clerks and an expert
draughtsman and mOdeler Mr..
Chas. NJ. Schilling. who has an office
of his own. These shops were es-
tablished in San Antonio in the year
1881. They were originally establish
ed at Harrisburg, but after the great
fire they were removed here, Mr..
Ryan, the present foreman, taking
charge in 1855. Besides his duties here
he superintends the round houses at
Del Rio and Glidden.
A pleasing feature is the number of
apprentices who are employed in the
various departments. These are
drawn from boys of the city who are
being trained as excellent mechanics.
This is feature that will be COM
NEEDED by every body. The appren-
tees are divided as follows: In ma
chine shops Z; boiler house :; paint
shop >; copper and tin shop >; black
smith shop l.
AS the greatest industrial institu-
ton in the city it is deserving of no.
tice from the benefit it brings the
city, and the number Of wage-earners
will be constantly increased as the
business of the road demands.

the same any personal inspection. L
have every reason to believe that he OBJ
tains his information from an indi-
vidual whose reputation for truthful
ness is very questionable.
As to the condition of the sewers
which the street superintendent criti
cizes so unjustly, l have only this to say
I always have been and am still more
than willing to have the public inspect
all or any part Of these sewers. l will
lend them any assistance in making an
impartial inspection.
The brick sewer on Grand avenue,
which has been so severely criticized, is
fifty inches in diameter, large enough
for man to pass through from end to
end. Let any citizen who doubts the
quality of its workmanship take trip
through 1T.
am confident that anyone who ac-
quaints himself with the facts will agree
with me that the work has been done in
accordance with the exact letter of the
specifications. E. III. HUTCHINSON

A JOCKEY CLUB.
The Proposition is to Have Some High
Class Winter Racing.

A number of gentlemen interested in
racing are to meet next Monday even
ing, at the Nadeau hotel, for the purpose
of forming a jockey club. The object of
the club is to give an annual blood horse
meeting early in the spring. One of the
promoters, in conversation with HER
AID reporter, outlined the necessity for
such an organization as follows: "We
can have the best meeting ever held in
the west next March," said the racing
enthusiast. "If sufficient inducements
are offered the representative stables of
California can be brought together be-
fore they start out on their eastern cam
paign. 1t would be a great feather in
the cap of Los Angeles to have such a
meeting, but the only way to make it a
success is to offer big stakes. The
money will bring together the cracks.
1t is estimated that there will be over
200 two-year-olds in training in Califor-
mia this year. In fact it is believed that
such celebrated stables as Palo Alto,
Baldwin, Rose, Porter Ashe, Colonel
Thornton, Senator Hearst, J. B. Haggin,
G. Kerr, Shippee, Tom Williams and
others, could be induced to come here"
The scheme is certainly well timed
and it is to be hoped that the matter
will be pushed to successful conclu-
sion. The business men will, no doubt,
help the venture as in other cities. There
are more good horses in training in Cal
ifornia than ever before.
A race might be arranged between
such flyers as Racine, Geraldine and
Fairy. With such high class colts as
Sinfax, Rinfax, Homer, Ludowic, Con-
rad, Nero and others, derby could be
gotten up fully equal to the Kentucky
derby. Then again there are fully a
dozen high class filliesf or derby. For
instance, Fairy, Blanca, Peri, Santa
Ana, Mystery and fearful.
All parties interested in the formation
ola jockey club are invited to attend the
meeting.

The board of police commissioners
met in regular session yesterday after
noon in the mayors office, Messrs. Col
lind, Dexter, Lewis and ex-Mayor Bryson
present, the last named gentleman be-
ing the recipient of many congratula-
tions upon his temperance after so
long an absence.
The application of Jivia & Co. for a
transfer of the license of No. 801 Buena
Vista street from F. Richini, was
granted, as were also those of F. L..
Ries for No. 329 N. Main street from
Bullfnch & Miller; and j. G. Colvin for
No. zig West Sixth street from Fl. S.
Haville.
The application of F. J. Talamantes,
for position on the force. was received
and filed.
A communication was received from
the city clerk transmitting Mr.. Shafer's
motion introduced at the last meeting
of the council, to the effect that the
council approved of the action of the po-
lice commissioners in refusing to fill the
vacancies in the police force, and that
the city attorney be instructed to pre-
sent an ordinance providing for the
gradual re eduction of said force as vacan-
cies occur, until the number OF footmen
is reduced to sixty men, which motion,
pending action thereon by the council,
had been referred to the board.
On motion of Mr.. Dexter the matter
was laid upon the table.
Another communication from the city
clerk was received, transmitting the de-
mand of S. K. Adams for SAL .28 salary
as police officer during the month OF
August, 1889, and that was also laid
upon the table.
Mr.. Lewis then brought up the ques-
ton as to whether or not the restaurants
ought to be allowed to sell beer or liquor
on Sundays, while the saloons were
closed. If this was the case he consid-
cred it gross injustice, and was OF the
opinion that the matter should be inves-
tigated and stopped.
After some further discussion in the
same vein, Chief Glass said that there
was good deal more talk about the
matter than anything else. He had had
men all over the city on Sunday last,
and in only one case did they find any
fragrant infraction of the new law. This
was. at the Palace restaurant, and as
two charges were now pending against
Schultz, the proprietor, the matter
would soon be decided by the courts. 1t
was agreed to leave the matter in the
hands of the chief.
The board then adjourned.

RAILROAD MATTERS.
Work Officially Declared Stopped on
the Santa Fe's Line North.

the santa re Line NORTH.
The HERALD announced some time ago
that work on the Santa Fe's line to San
Francisco had been stopped. This is
said by some authorities to be
due to the great combination OF
railroad managers headed by Jay
Gould, but by others is ascribed
to the hardup condition of the Santa Fe
road. The San Francisco Chronicle of
Tuesday has the following in regard to
the matter: "News from Bakersfield
and other points is that Chief Engineer
Carpenter has been ordered to stop work.
The men have all been paid off, and the
forces have been withdrawn, from the
TETON pass. AS to when work will be
resumed, nothing definite is stated. w.
A. Bissell, manager of the Atlantic and
Pacific, who has just returned from Ba-
kersfield, is unable to assign any definite
reason for the stoppage of work, though
he doubts the statements that the en-
brrrassment of Barring Brothers has any
tIing to do with it. From other quarters
it was learned that there is an enormous
amount of material massed at different
points, SO that the stoppage is at the
most only temporary.
General Freight Agent G. F. Smurr, of
the Southern Pacific company, returned
from Chicago to San Francisco on Tues
day last. He said: The changes in
freight rates will not materially affect
the shipper or consumer, and have been
made in accordance with the advances
on lines all over the country. In some
instances the advance is even more
than ten per cent, in most cases it is
below, while for wool, green fruit and
certain classes of dried fruit, there has
been no change made.
The estimate of the Southern Pacific
company for the Southern California
orange crop this year, is $3.50 car loads.
OF this San Bernardino county alone
will require 2019 cars, Riverside contrib
'uting nearly one-half of the coun.y's
product. The estimated value of the
total shipment is $2,608,00O.
Southern Pacific trains were reported
on time yesterday, despite the fact that
there were heavy rains ON the desert in
Arizona.

B. & @. Co., is abed with an attack of

department responded to the call, and
after considerable work it was thought
the blaze was entirely extinguished. and
the engines left. The flames broke out
again, however, and second alarm was
turned in, but this time the work OF the
firemen was effective. Mr.. Tibbitts
claims to have lost about $4,000 worth of

the house, which was fully insured. Mr..

The P~estifsrous Jamaica Tick.

Those tiny pests, the ticks of Jamaica,
in the West Indies, hang in swarms on
the blades of grass, on the leaves and
branches of trees, on the most graceful
ferns, and on every green thing. The
lady who brushes her skirt against the
verdure on the roadside, the planter who
is experimenting the work on his estate,
equally with the colored laborer in the
cane pieces or on the stock farm, are Ii
able to be practically covered with ticks
at any minute. OF course, people who
are able to do so take every precaution
to keep clear of their attacks, and this
may always be managed with more OF
less success; but they are an every-pres-
emit source of worry and annoyance, and
even if whole battalions can be avoided,
no care can prevent the occasional inroad
of single spies. And a tick, though
only the size of a pins head, is no de-
spicable assailant. He crawls, he bites,
he burrows under the skin If he has time
and opportunity, and 1.-The and his COM
panions have a fair chance of working
| their wicked will, the result of the
wounds which they infict may be very
disagreeable, and, in some cases almost
dangerous inflammation.
independently of the nuisance which
they are to human beings, they cause seri-
Gus mischief on the stock farms: Besides
pervading and irritating the outer cuticle
Of each individual Of the herds, the cat
tie, and especially the calves, take them
into their mouths while grazing. Then
| they burrow under the skin of the
tongue, palate and air passages, forming
Jumps and sores, which, of course, de-
stroy condition, and, if not carefully at
tended to-, eventually choke the animal.
In some pastures their presence is 50
marked that cattle are known to refuse
to go in willingly to Craze, but have to
be exceptionally forced to enter feeding
grounds where 50 much pain and discom-
fort await them.
It is supposed that ticks first made
their way to the island on cattle inn
ported from the Spanish main, but
though they have been long more or less
known, it is only in comparatively recent
times that they have thrust themselves
into a bad notoriety. The direct cause
of their increase is the gradual disappear
ance of their natural enemies, which, il
they did not exterminate the tiny para
sites, at least kept them within a reason
able limit. The first of these enemies
were the bird tribes. To-day one of the
first things that strikes a visitor is the re-
markable absence of the bird life which
forms such a distinctive feature in most
tropical countries.-Blaekwood's Aaga.
