49, @AAAe -
The reporter that is sent forth to learn
the details of a railroad disaster is placed
in a position which few men would care
to occupy, and that position is rendered
the more trying by the railroad officials
with whom his assignment brings him In
contact. In matters pertaining to their
business, the railroad men Of this coun-
try generally prove themselves to be
clearheaded and efficient beyond any set
Of men that can be mentioned. But
when-as in the case of the recent dis
aster on the Lake Shore road-they refuse
to give the reporters the facts of the case,
and when they set about to thwart the
efforts Of the reporter in every possible
way. they do that which is not in keep
ing with their usual sound sense and
business ability.
Shut out from the truth, the reporter
will draw heavy drafts upon that unfail-
ing stock of imagination which the aver
age reporter possesses. He will do more:
turned with al empty note book from
the otdcial-and often with gruff words
that antagonize his feelings and color
his report-he will find some employe,
and, by coaxing, or probably by argu-
ments clinchcd witt a bit of green paper,
get some kind Of n report of the affair.
The reporter is not to blame. His
bread and butter is at stake. He goes to
the fountain head for the knowledge he
requires; if rebufTed he is obliged to go
to lower and muddy streams of inforrna-
ton. Neither he nor the paper that sent
him forth desires a highly colored, exag-
gerated report which will require subse-
quent modification. Facts are desired,
and if these fail fiction is the natural
refuge of the reporter. The railway
official that will afford the reporter every
facility FOR gathering these facts will
not regret doing so, and will set an ex-
ample worthy Of MISUNDERSTANDING

The Counselor Discovers a Novel Meth Cd
of Procedure.
Counselor Alfred Clarke caused Mark
Strouse, the Market-street butcher, to be
arrested yesterday on complaint signed
IS. NJ. Gibson"
Strouse has had trouble with the police and
some city officials about his license for ped
ding meat in wagons around town. Strouse
claims that an ordinary wagon license is
sufficient for his purpose, but the tax peo-
pie claim that he should pay for peddler's
privilege. To fight the case for Strouse
Attorney Clarke was employed.
Clarke was very anxious to have his ell
ent arrested so as to take the case to the
Federal courts, and thus prevent License
Collector O'Brien from making bona fide
arrest. When O'Bren heard of Strouse's
arrest he proceeded at once to the Police
Court and had the charge dismissed. The
strangest thing about the matter is that
Gibson has nothing TO do with the License
Collectors office, and was unknown to the
officials. He was merely dummy" for

NINTH OF SEPTEMBER,
1t viii Be the Grandest Day Ever
Seen in This City.

There was a meeting of two sub-com-
mttees Of the Native Sons Of the Golden
West, at their hall ia the Pioneer Building,
last night.
The Ball Committee met early in the
evening and discussed the style of the
souvenir programme, and finally agreed
upon reporting a very ha ndsome style,
so far only as concerns the outside or
cover The design for the front of the
cover is a view of the city and bay Of San
Francisco, the Bear" flag and the national
coloTs pendant over and behind the view
showing beneath. On the left is the Seal
Of State and underneath are the pick and
shovel, emblems of the mining interest.
The whole is interviewer with a floral de-
sign and finished in embossed gold.
This will be fayOTably reported upon at
the Joint meeting of the committee to be
held in Pioneer Hall on Friday night.
There is no doubt but that this design
will be adopted by the joint committee and
the subcommittee will then be empowered
10 order the requisite number. These will
only be given to those who take part in the
grand march at the ball which will be held
at the Mechanics Pavilion on the 9th Of
September.
The matter Of invitations was laid over
until the meeting which will be held at the
Grand Hotel next Monday night, at which
lime, anu Oh every succeeding MONDAY
night the grand ball committee will meet at
the same time and place. At the evening
meeting the matter of rosettes and badges
and also music will be decided upon.
The Committee on Badges and Regalia,
of which j. +. Finn is Chairman, also met
and discussed bids for furnishing the ar
ticies required by their committee. Bids
were received from five different houses,
some of the articles being very brilliant.
Ihey Will report their recommendation at
the meeting Of the joint committee on Fri
day night.
A resolution has been passed by the
Joint Committee of Arrangements that the
parlors of the city be requested to refrain
from collecting subscriptions from tile gen.
eral public, and that they confine their SUBJ
scriptlons TO their own members.

Will begin to-day to collect contributions
