About the Bridge es-A Raymond Ex.
cuysl0n.
The order from the Common Council
to the railway companies that they must
take away their present bridges over the
river and replace them by structures
built in accordance with the ordinances
does not appear to trouble the authorities
Of the roads very much.
"We have looked the ordinances over
very carefully" said General Manager
Wade, of the Santa Fe, yesterday, "and
we do not find that there is any violation
in the present form of the structures.
There is no provision with regard to the
height above the river-bed. The track,
after leaving the bridge, comes round in
q curve under the Buena Vista-street
bridge approaches. 1t is not feasible to
make down grade just at that point,
which would have to be done if the
bridge were raised while the Buena
Vista-street viaduct remains at ite pres
emit height. If our bridge is raised, then
the approach to the Buena Vista-street
bridge must be raised by the CITY,"
The work of repair on the levee is
being carried on by the Santa Fe Com.
pany. Several hundred carloads of
stone have been used along the river
bank all the way from the Buena Vista
street bridge to the Ballona division
bridge. Large blocks of stone are being
put into the foundation, above which is
rip-rap work.
Sixty carloads of cattle passed through
the city on the Southern Pacific from
Arizona to Sau Francisco yesterday.
Forty of the Southern Pacific en-
ployees were off duty yesterday, with
cases of the grippe more or less severe.
The Santa Fe officials assert that theirs
was the first orange special, train Of
thirteen cars, which went out last We'd
nesday night for the East. A train Of
eleven cars went on Saturday. This
week there will be three orange specials
over this line.
]. D. Warrington, President Of the
Kentucky Central, passed through the
city yesterday on the Southern Pacific to
San Francisco.
There was no overland train on the
Santa Fe day before yesterday. 1t ar
rived yesterday, fifteen hours late, COM
bined with the overland of that day.
Amos Burr, Who has acted as the rep
resentative of the Vanderbilt system in
this city, has been promoted to position
OF similar character in San Francisco.
A Raymond excursion, the third of the
season, got into the State yesterday. The
train consists of six vestibuled sleepers
and dining-car. The visitors leave the
cars today at Alhambra, and will be
driven over to the Raymond in carriages.
The number of the excursionists was
much diminished by the ravages OF the
grippe, which was getting its work in on
the people Of the East before the expedi-
ton left that section. The excureion is
in charge of L. L. Holden and II. G.
Lyon. The list of the travellers is as
