RAILWAY NEWS.
NO CHANGE IN FREIGHT RATES OR
FARES IN PROSPECT.
The Transcontinental Association Seems
to Be Acting Harmoniously-Misce
laneous Matters of Interest-Personal
Mention-Notes.

The people who couple OF weeks
ago, when the first cut in passenger rates
took place, were vociferously declaring
that fierce rate war was about to begin,
have gradually become silent. There
has been no increase on the first cut,
and the prospect is now that when any
change in the present schedule is made
it will be rather in the way of restoring
the old rates. This cannot be done
without ten days notice, and as no
road has entered this notice the present
rates will maintain for at least ten days
more. The Transcontinental Associa-
ton, instead OF breaking up, appears to
be in a more solid shape than ever. The
fact seems to be that there is no likeli-
hood of rate war either on freight or
passenger business as long as business
continues as light as it is at present.
L. j. Keyes, who formerly occupied
the place of chief clerk of the passen-
ger department of the Southern Cali
fornia in this city, has been appointed
to a similar position with the Denver and
Rio Grande Western at Salt Lake City.
Mr.. Keyes has an excellent record as a
railroad man and is very popular among
his large circle of acquaintance in this
city.
Greed Raymond, the attorney of the
Central Pacific, was in the city yester-
day attending to case for his company
in the United States Court. He LETT in
the afternoon. He was accompanied by
Judge Sawyer and Joseph Redding, OF
San Francisco.
General Passenger Agent Hynes, OF
the Southern California, got back to the
city yesterday from the meeting OF the
Transcontinental.
M. A. Doian, Pacific Coast representa-
tive of the Queen and Crescent line, is
in the city on business.
J. H. Bennett, general freight and
passenger agent of the Rio Grande
Western, is in the city. He is sta
toned at Salt Lake City.

The Hellman Benefaction.

Bishop Mora complains that a misun-
derstanding appears to have sprung up
in some quarters in regard to the bene-
faction recently given by l. w. Hellman
to the Catholic orphan asylum from the
Briswalter estate. The gift was in the
form of real estate, and not money, and
it was promptly turned over by the
Bishop to the Sisters orphan asylum in
Boyle Heights. The Bishop has been
somewhat annoyed by people calling
upon him who supposed that the sum OF
5000 cash had been placed in his hands
for miscellaneous charitable purposes.
The property was given to him merely
that he might transfer it to the Sisters.

Fair Committee.
The Surplus Set Aside for the
Worlds Fair.
Some Hope Still Left for the Main
and Tenth st. Hotel.
The Ladies' Annex to the Chamber of
Commerce-The Prosecution Closes
in the Castac Case.

The executive committee of the State
Citrus Fair held its final meeting yes
terday. Those present were Richard
Gird, managing director; G. M. Wells.
and Eugene Germain OF Los Angeles ;
f. Edward Gray, Alhambra; Frank A
Miller, Riverside; J. Z. McComas, Po-
mona, and II. X. Snow, Tustin.
The treasurer, Mr.. German, reported
receipts, $4,s27.97; expenses, 1886. 81 !;
leaving surplus of 81 ,99l. In consid-
Grafton of the fine displays made by AL
hambra, Pomona and Duarte as local
tiles, and Orange, Ventura and Santa
Barbara as counties, the committee voted
an award OF diploma to each for excel
lent display of citrus fruits
The following resolution was adopted:
ResOlced, That any surplus on hand
after all expenses are paid from the late
citrus fair, be placed in a savings insti-
tuition, at interest, to be kept as nu-
cleus for the formation of a fund to be
used to represent the citrus fruit inter-
ests of the Sixth Congressional district
at the Chicago Worlds Fair. 1t was
further
Resolged, That the committee recon-
mend that any surplus that may accrue
from any further citrus fair, held in the
district, be added to this fund for the
same purpose. 1t was also
Resotred, That the citrus fair surplus
placed at interest for the purpose named
be subject to the control of this citrus
fair executive committee, as trustees.
A resolution was also adopted that it
is the sense of the committee that the.
next State Citrus Fair, under the
auspices of the State Board of Agricult-
ure, should be held in Los Angeles city,
this being the commercial center for all
Southern California, and the only point
from which proper benefit can be de-
rived for the citrus fruit-growing inter-
ests, for the advancement of which the
State appropriations were made.
An unanimous vote OF thanks was ten
dered Captain F. Edward Gray for the
efficient and intelligent manner in which
he superintended and managed the fair
The committee held long session,
from 10 O'Clock in the morning until 3 in
the afternoon. There was great diver
sity of opinion as to the disposition of
the surplus, and it took great deal of
talk to decide the matter to the satisfac-
ton of all.

THE CASTAC CASE.
Examination of Witnesses for the
Defense Commenced.

defense commenced.
The preliminary examination into the
Castac cailOn case was resumed before
Justice Austin yesterday morning for the
fourth time. DR.. Granville McGowan
was called by the prosecution and testi-
fled to having held post-mortem ex-
animation upon the bodies of Cook and
Walton, at the request of the Coroner,
on March 1st. He then detailed the
result of his examination, and identified
Il bullet which was offered in evidence
as the one he had distracted from the
body OF the deceased, Dolores Cook.
The next witness was Mac Pyle, a
rancher, who testified that he picked up
number of cartridge shells from the
road in front of the cabin from which
Chormicle and Gardner fired, after they
had left the place. Mrs. Cook,
the wife of one of the dead
men, was called, but the court
ruled that her testimony was inmate
rial, and at this juncture the prosecu-
ton rested it's case.
Sheriff Reilly, of Ventura county,
was called by the defense and testified
that the defendants, Chormicle and
Gardner, surrendered themselves to
him voluntarily He also stated that
he had known w. G. Chormicle for sew
eral years, and that his general reputa-
ton for peace and quietness in the com
munity in which he resided was good.
b. Rose, an old-time resident of the
Castac cai1on, was then put upon the
stand for the purpose of establishing
Chormicle's right to the land upon
which Walton insisted upon trespassing
after being warned by the former.
While he was being examined court ad-
journed, and the case was continued
until Tuesday morning next.

on to testify to Jennings's good reputa-
ton. Emil Harris said he did not know
who Bush was when he took him to his
home, that he knew him by the name
of McDonohoe, and that while at his
house Bush had not committed any
crime. Auble swore Bush had commit
ted burglaries while at Harris's house,
but he failed to mention one of them.
Judge Mckinley gave the first opinion
He said that the statements of the two
convicted thieves seemed to be quite
without corroborative evidence from the
outside, and against the testimony OF the
witnesses who had been heard. They
would not stand. Judge Cheney said
that no case had been made against the
detectives. They were therefore all dis

American Love for Science.

fishes. have a friend who collected 25,-
600 varieties Of American insects, and il
kent him poor. Nobody would buy Of him
or thank him ormaking SO complete a col
lection. When in u West | got together
one Of the finest lots OF Indian antiquities
that ever was seen. There were spears.
axes, hoes, ornaments, Upper imple-
mcnts, jars, pesiles and beads. Ii cost
me and my assistants weeks of labor dig
ging over the oun and burial places
To find them, "a when ] brought them To
New York not a sou would look at them.
! wanted them To stay in thisc country, for
they were American, and ] asked only a
price that would my expenses, say
500 or 500; but no., not a single Que of
the professors or the rich men connected
with the museums would give a dol
lar. Then in disgust took the
whole collection To Vienna, where 1
sold IL at once for 1900 forms. When
the chronological society was started In
Brooklyn about twenty-four q a q
the only members were Germans. and
knowing how little Americans cared for
science, how impatient they were at sys-
tcmatic study and how little they cared To-
spend for anything they did not promise
"A quick return in business, they adopteda
rule that Americans should be admitted
only To honorary membership. There's
little encouragement for scientific work
here, unless you can make people see
dollars in il. One of the best entomology

Mr.. Gambler said he would select Repre-

Representative Wilson, of West Virginia,

breckenridge was called in first and the
bet stated. The silvcr~tongued orator OF

college professor was also compelled To
admit thai his memory was defective on
