SOUTHERN PACIFIC VISITORS.
President Huntington Departs-Efects
of the Visit.

Yesterday morning at O'Clock Presi-
dent Huntington, of the Southern Pa
cific, left for the east in special car over
the Santa Fe line. Hewas accompanied
by his family. Vice-President G. F.
Crocker spent the morning in driving
about the city, and at 40 left for the
north, the directors car being attached
to the regular train. He was accompa-
MED by Messrs. Stubbs and Smurr
A reporter of this paper listened 20 a
conversation yesterday, in which half a
dozen prominent citizens-active mem
bers of the chamber of commerce-took
part. They had all been present at the
meeting which took place Monday morn
ing at the rooms of the chamber, when
Mr.. Huntington was interviewed and
asked his views on the San Pedro harbor
question. Several of them had also had
private interviews with Mr.. Huntington
and Colonel Crocker during their visit.
These gentlemen expressed them
selves as not experiencing much satis-
faction from the tone of the officials re-
marks. Mr.. Huntington, they declared,
was not only unwilling to make any
definite statements with regard to rail
lOstu improvements III IHlS NlClHlIy, DuU
the general tone of his talk was not very
favorable to the section. He had not
shown the interest in the matter of San
Pedro harbor that was expected, or at
least hoped for.
According to the San Diego papers" :"
said Major Z. w. Jones, who took part
in the conversation, "Mr. Huntington
talked freely down there, and promised
to take hand in helping to develop
their interests"
1t was suggested that the accuracy of
the report of this interview was doubt
full, as several prominent railway Off
cials who had been interviewed" there
when they came away, had repudiated
the sentiments which were assigned
them. However, the general feeling in
the group seemed to be that the visit of
the officials to this city had been appar-
emily fruitless except in SO far az it
enabled them to form better idea Of a
country which contributed largely to
the income of the road and which most
! of them had not visited for some time.

on the plains. There are 140 of these
wells. All the water is piped to all
parts of Pomona and to all the country
around her. There are no open bitches.
This water never sees sunlight from the
moment it sinks into the mountains 10C
miles from Pomona, until it is turned on
as clear as crystal in the homes of the
people.
Lands Selling Well.
There has been great demand for
lands about Pomona this year. Near
the town small farms for orange grow
ing of five to ten acres have sold at $500
to $400 an acre. Further away farms OF
ten acres have sold for $3.50 to 5000 an
acre. Water goes with these lands.
Nearly all the buyers have paid all cash
for their places and have gone to
work to improve them. Mr.. E. P. Shaw
of the Pomona Land and Water Com
pany, states that during the past season
his company has sold upwards of 200
acres at these prices, nearly all in ten
acre pieces, and in all but two cases the
buyers have set their land to fruits and
built houses on the places. The sales are
larger by far than at any time in the
past three years.
A New Industry.
Rev. G. f. Loop, who settled at Po-
mona twenty years ago, when the place
was sheepwalk, has just gone into a
new industry at that place-that of olive
culture. Mr.. Loop spent some time in
Europe studying the matter up, and he
has now 800 olive trees in orchard. These
are the best varieties known for oil
n 10 hoc h,,
a dozen varieties, at least three of which
have never before been grown in the
United States. These are all large pick
ling olives, and are known as the white
Ascoli, the white San Agostino and the
Santa Catarina. Some of the varieties
are from the south of France, and others
from Tuscany. Mr.. Loop expects next
year to have 100000 young trees in
orchard. He has grated few on the
old native trees, and expects to put
olives on exhibition at the worlds fair
in Chicago.

THE POLICE BOARD.
Saloon Licenses and Other Matters
Discussed.


The police commissioners met yester-
day afternoon in the mayors office, Mr..
Collins in the chair and Messrs Dexter
and Lewis present.
Tom Keefe, of the fire commissioners,
appeared before the board and stated
that he had been defied by Jacoby Bros,
who had put up canvas sign on the
Temple block in conflict with the ordi-
nances, and as he did not propose to be
made laughing-stock of by these peo-
pie, he asked the board to instruct the
chief to see that the Objectionable sign
be removed this afternoon. On motion
of Mr.. Lewis the chief was instructed to
enforce the city ordinance with regard
to signs. Chief Glass explained to the
board that Jacoby had informed him
that he intended to take down the can
vas sign in the morning and replace it
by an iron sign, and with this under
standing he did not feel it incumbent
upon him to arrest Jacoby merely be-
cause he refused to obey Mr.. Keefe.
The chief reported on the claim of
julius Walters against Officer Goodman
for $3.50, that the latter stated that the
OeDC WAS luCuTTeu Ill december, 1855,
and paid in February, 1889, and he
therefore recommended that the matter
be decided in the courts. The claim was
thereupon ordered filed, on motion of
Mr.. Lewis.
In the matter of the charges preferred
against Officer Weatherman by Mrs.
Ulrica Nustede, the chief reported that
he had heard the statements of both
sides, but as he did not have authority
to swear the witnesses, he thought that
committee of the board was the proper
body to investigate the matter. On mo-
ton of Mr.. Lewis, all three members
present were appointed as such COM
mittee.
The application of Pierre Banta for
transfer of his license was granted, as
were also the following petitions for
transfers: Joseph Levy, from Louis
Roth; Charles Treiber, from P.
p. Kiefer, and Sinister q
Barrell, from Kerr & Schwarz.
The application of Trabucco & Baciga-
lupi for permit for license for new
saloon was referred to the chief. That
of Charles Youngworth, for a new saloon
at No. 162 North Los Angeles street, was
denied. The application of John Bara-
baltz was granted.
The applications of A. A. Saunders and
J. A. Van Luven for positions on the
force were received and placed on file,
and the board then adjourned.

Other Matters.
Pomona has a gas company which
lights all the center of the town.
The free library is another institution
that Pomona may we'll feel proud of. II
has an excellent collection OF good books,
the best standard works, including a
fine lot of books of reference. There is
a free reading room attached, well sup
piled with papers.
Pomona has board of trade, with q
fine hall over the new bank for its
meetings. Mr.. Stoddard Jess, is the
president of the board, and DR.. j. D. H
Browne is the secretary
There is also chamber of commerce
in Pomona, of which DIR. j. ID. H.
Browne is the president. As showing
the prosperity of the present time may
be noted the fact that during the last
few months 140 new names have been
added to the list of this organization.
Pomona has three well-organized
banks; the Bank of Pomona, the Peo-
ple's Bank and the First National
Bank.
The Water System.
Pomona is supplied with an absolute
abundance of the purest water. This
comes from three sources. The
mountains are the reservoir for all, but
some comes down it's rocky sides in
streams; another part wells up in
springs at it's base, and still
more flows from artesian wells

TRAPPED BY FIRE.

Masses Of Flame Cut or Escape, and
Ten Lives Are Lost In Boston.
BosToN, Feb. S.-shortly after mid.
night last night FIRE broke out in o tene.
ment house on~North street, mostly oc-
cupied by Italians. The shocking sum-
ming Of tho di astor Is that nine persons
were quickly burned to death, three
others fatally injured and six more
were seriously IL ret mortally hurt. II
Is believed that the Gre started in the
clothing store OF Maurice E:bey, on the
first floor, and some minutes before II
was discovescd. It J. ad eaton through the
partition wall of tho hallway which
contained the. stairs leading to the
tenements above. The wooden stair.
way was like Eallow candle, and the
flames swept UP it like a fash. In do.
ing SO 1t lighted up the hallway and
shot little for. cut through the cracks
of the door, AID soon attracted atten.
ton. In o moment more the fire had
taken hold on the reac starways ascend.
ing from the same hallway, and thus
cut OF all escape or tho occupants. The
scenes which occurred among the in.
mates when they were awakened were
of tho most exciting description. There
was no way for them to get down, and
as they ascended TO the attic the blaze
followed upon them. Shrieks of terror,
groans Of agony and cries for help filled
the nir Mon, women and children
filled the windows and piteously plead.
ed for help, some of the more venture.
some even hung from the windows by
only slight hold on the sills. Ladders
were hurriedly hoisted, lines OF hose
quickly run off and ''pipe" from the
chemical engine was rushed into the
flaming mass. In ten minutes the fear
OF personal safety had subsided those
whom it was possible to save had been
taken from their positions OF peril,
and the wounded had been taken to
places whore their injuries could be
cared for.

BUFFALO, Feb. ga tremendous riot
occurred yesterday in the vicinity Of 81.

parish at East Buffalo, which required
The full force Of two hundred policemen
70 quell. None were killed, but several
policemen were more or less injured by
bricks and other missiles, and the lead
or Of the rioters, q Polish woman, name
unknown, was badly hurt The riot was
continuation Of the demonstration OF
disfavor with which Father Pawler. the
Dunkirk priest who was appointed to
this parish lately by Bishop Ryan.
Father Pawler tried to hold services in
the church yesterday. Tho priest
notified the police that he would obey
orders, and asked for protection. Over
two hundred policemen were, therefore,
sent to his aid. The priest was escorted
in his buggy to the church by a
Gordon Of armed detectives. On
arriving at the church they
found drawn up around the gate Of
the barricade, which had been erected
around the church, fully 1880 Polish
women and girls. The men stood aloof
on the other side Of the street and look
cd on. The police were instructed not
to strike the women with their dsts sor
batons, so an unequal warfare began.
The Polish wives fought like en-.
ragged tigers, and they pushed the
policemen away from the gate by
sheer force Of numbers. Finally
the policemen beat down the barri.
cade and surrounded the women. Then,
from their aprons, the women produced
salt and pepper, which they flung In the
blue coats eyes. They scratched and
bit and struck, kicked and yelled like
so many cats. The arrival Of the priest
was the signal for the climax of tho riot.
The women hurled themselves en- masse
upon his carriage, sprang upon his back,
and one woman, who acted as leader,
actually caught tho priest by the
throat and would have strangled
aim. It took four policemen to pull
her Of. The Polish men now added q
shower Of stones, bricks and other
missiles to the fray. They were soon
subdued by the batons, and not few
went home with broken heads and
bloody noses. Nine were arrested.
Special Policeman Lyons had his shoul.
der blade broken, and half dozen other
officers were more or less injured. The
woman ring-leader was thrown dowr
and trampled on in the ,soiee and badly

BOTTOM DROPS OUT.
Perilous Situation at tho Village
Of Plains, Pa.
Five Houses Almost Standing on End
Further Cave-In Probable. which
Whi Take the Cemetery.

WTLKEsRARRE, Pa, Feb. 1.-The bot
tom OF portion Of the town of Plains,
about four miles from here, dropped out
yesterday, and with IL three single
houses and double block, causing great
CONSERVATION among the tenants and
excitement in the town. The settling,
n is thought, is not at an end. For q
week past premonitory signs Of tho
cave-in have been noticed bv ex-
perienced miners, and one of them
made 1t his business to warn the
Inhabitants of these houses to keep low
fires In their stoves, and make prepara-
tion to take drop down. They con-
cerned themselves but little, as cave-ins
are Of common occurrence In this region,
and while the women q the warned
houses were preparing their MONDAY
meal the Garth began to settle, and in
few moments the houses were almost
standing on end. The fires in the stoves
were quickly extinguished. The
danger now lies in an extension OF the
cave-in, which is altogether probable
from present indications. A few feet
from the scene Of the disaster, and in a
direct line with 1t, is the cemetery, and
fears are entertained that this will yield
to the pressure Of the squeeze. The
earth is working in that direction. The
Catholic Church and parsonage that
we're wrecked few weeks ago by o
cavern are within short distance OF
the scene. These cave-ins are caused
by the extravagant robbing of pillars in
the mines.

ward Of 100000 to betray the wherea.
bouts Of Wilkes Booth, the assassin
OF President Lincoln, was in Baltimore
yesterday. He said: 1T was reported
at the time that Booth was secreted in
the vaults Of the old Catholic Church
at Port Tobacco Point, now known as
Chapel Point, steamboat landing, but
such was not the case. He was, in fact,
at that very time hiding in pine
thicket about mile and half from
the farm of my friend, Samuel Cox. All
/ did for Booth was done as mark Of
friendship for Mr.. Cox, who was life
long friend Of mine. did not know
Booth, but when Mr.. Cox put him, Grip.
pied as he was, in that pine thicket in
my charge, nothing could have tempted
me to betray him."
