A Host of Railroad Men Visit the Scene
of the Late Blockade.
The late overland train which passed
through this city at midnight last night
eastward, had attached to it the special cal
of General Superintendent J. A. Fillmore
of the Southern Pacific.
Mr.. Fillmore was en- route TO the scene
of the recent great snow blockade in the
Sierras, and his particular mission is tc
witness the operations of the new Cyclone
snow pillow, which will be set to work on
several snow-covered sidings at Cascade
and other places.
Mr.. Fillmore was accompanied by the
following railroad officials: George
Croeker, ]. G. Stubs, G. F. Richardson
S. T. Gage, w. c. Curtis, n. H. Foster, A.

and Mr.. Caldwell, the inventor of the
Cyclone" joined the party at this city.
To-day the Cyclone will be put to work
on the Cascade side track, which is covered
with about twelve feet of snow. If she
handles this well she will next be set Il
work on another siding near the Summit
where the rotary plow will also be ex
| hibited. Il is probable also that the two
plows will engage in a sort of competitiv,
race on some one OF the sidings, so tina
their merits may be better judged.

EMERSON,
Lecture Last Evening Before the Cali
fornia Museum Association.

Lecture Last Evening Before the Cali
fornia Museum Association.
There wss good audience in attendance
at the Art Gallery last evening on the
occasion of the lecture by Charles j. Wood.
bury, of San Francisco, before the Califor.
MIA Museum Association. The subject oil
the lecture was Emerson, Thoreau and
the Concord Group" The lecturer is 8
pleasant reader. He makes no oratorical
professions, however, but has the
ability to interest his audience and
enchain its attention. This is due
to the grace of the composition
of his lecture, his direct method and his
un6eniable sincerity. Mr. Woodbury.
scarcely touched upon the philosophy OF
Emerson, but treated of his individuality,
the nobility of his character, the gentle
ness of his nature and the great influence
his work has had among men. He then
drew very strong and interesting portrait
of Thoreau, and analysed the motive and
habit of his life. He also gave a charming
sketch of the Alcotts, the father and the
daughters, Louisa and May and, returning
to contemplation of Emerson, he consid-
cred bis moral quality, his national spirit
and his patriotism, and his ability to find
whatever there was of good in men and
things. The lecture was illuminated by
many pleasant anecdotes, and very much
of the discourse was reminiscent, the
speaker having had intimate acquaintance
with Emerson.

track, but this idea has been abandoned
because the enormous quantity of snow in
the mountains will keep the river up some
time TO come. The material for the piers
will be taken to them from the shore on
the large scow of the company. The work
of transporting the big fitty-foot timbers to
the scene of operations of the boom work,
will commence next week.
By next fall the boom will be used for
the purposes its projectors intended. 1t
will be the means of putting into circula-
ton great deal of money. and the greater
part will be discussed as wages to working
men, whose supplies will be purchased III

A saw and planning mill will be erected
at the boom soon after its completion, and
big lumber shipping depot established
there. This viii give steady employment
to large numbers of workingmen. The
boom work has been prosecuted under the
most discouraging circumstances. The
continued stormy weather has delayed it,
and Colonel Cummings. the Superintend-
ent, has been i'll and suffered great deal.
all this he has persevered,
and will, no doubt, complete the work in a
manner creditable to himself.

The River Committee Fayors Sending

The River Committee FayOrs Sending q
Committee to Washington.
The Executive Committee of the Califor,
mia Rivers Convention held a meeting at
the Office of Dr.. 6. NJ. Dixon, the Chair
man, yesterday. The members present
were: Mayor Eugene Gregory and DR..
Dixon of this city, Aarsden Manson and
Arthur R. Briggs of San Francisco, Will
S. Green of Colusa, and H. J. CorcoFan of
| Stockton.
The Secretary, Mr. Manson, presented
| for the consideration of the committee
much valuable data and numerous maps,
etc. compiled and prepared by him and
bearing directly upon the importance OF
| improving the great water highways OF
California. The work was approved by the
committee and ordered put in proper form
for use before Congress.
After considerable discussion it was de-
cided that it was best to send a committee
of three TO Washington to assist our repre-
sentatives in Congress in the effort to secure
action by that body in accordance with the
desire of the recent River Convention. 1t
was shown that the Mississippi River Com
mission secured various large appropria-
tons for the improvement of that water
way by the active effort of committees sent
to Washington by the people directly inter
ested.
The unanimous opinion of the Executive |
Committee was that this is, in all respects, |
an opportune time TO seek the relief and |
assistance necessary from the General Gov
eminent, and that every possible effort |
must be made to push the matter through |
to speedy issue.
An effort will at once be made to secure |
from the counties interested the necessary |
funds to pay the expenses of the committee |
which it is proposed to send to Washington, |
and it is confidently believed that in |
matter OF snch vast importance to our peo- |
pie the means can be readily secured.
The committee then adjourned to meet |
in this city next Saturday.

Something About the New Third Base

was Threatened.
A Mexican with an unpronounceable
name and an almost unintelligible jargon
applied to City Attorney Church yesterday
for warrant for Front-street machinist,
named White, on charge of disturbing
his peace.
He said he had gone to the foundry
where White was employed, in search of a
friend, when the former grasped bar of
iron and went for him. Others present
interfered and saved his life. His assail-
ant, he said, accused him of having spit in
the face OF his (White's) daughter, and
further threatened that he would that night
make a CORY corpse OF him.
No arrest had been made up to late
hour last night, and the Coroner had not
received the Mexican's corpse.
