A FACT ACCOMPLISHED,
Is What the Belt Railway System Will
Soon Be.

City Engineer Fred Eaton returned
from the north yesterday, after an alb
sence of several weeks, during which
time he has visited most of the large
cities on the coast, ON tour of investi-
CATION of the electric system OF street
railroading.
He expressed himself to HERALD re-
porter yesterday afternoon as delighted
with the result of his trip, and the
treatment he and the other representa-
tives of the Electric Belt road of this
city had received everywhere they went.
He is of the opinion that electricity is
unquestionably the power of the
future for street railroading, as
it can be operated at 80 much
less expense than the cable sys-
TEN, and is in every way it's superior.
He had visited every electric road on
the coast, and found them all on not only
paying basis, but clearing big profits
annually. They were extremely popu-
lar, on account of their rapidity and
smoothness of motion, the jolting and
jar of the cable system being entirely
done away with.
Speaking of the Belt line, Mr.. Eaton
said that it was not a speculative
scheme, but would soon be an accom-
plished fact. Contracts for the plant
were already practically let. and work
would soon be commenced. He was not
at liberty to state who were behind
the scheme, but the projectors would be
publicly announced in about two weeks
and would astonish those who doubted
the genuineness of the scheme. Every
known improvement in the mechanical
world would be embodied in the plant,
and special attention will be paid to the
comfort of its passengers by the build
ing of roomy and comfortable cars for
their accommodation.
Mr.. Eaton compared Los Angeles with
the other leading cities on the coast, and
said that he was much surprised but ex
tremely gratifed to find that San Fran
ciscans had changed their opinion of
Los Angeles very considerably of late.
They seemed to think that city that
could 60 through such slough of
despond as Los Angeles ana emerge un-
scathed as she has, must not be over
looked, and many of them expressed
their determination to invest heavily
here in the near future.
Los Angeles herald., 1890-11-07

In favor OF the company to the extent OF
the difference between $1.95 and $2.12.
This does not include breakage in ship
ping, which amounts to about 10 per
cent. on the loss by rejection upon in
spection by city inspectors, which is
quite considerable, both of which losses
the city would have to bear were it to
purchase its pipe abroad.
"The points involved in this issue are
not new," said Major Danforth. 'They
have been investigated and reported
upon by the sewer committee of your
honorable body, and were there exist
ing reasonable cause for apprehension,
those gentlemen are too observing not
to have detected it, and too loyal to the
public not to have shown it up"
In conclusion he said:
.'In the past two years the California
Sewer Pipe company have expended
something like $250,000 on their plant,
etc., and $40, 900 in wages. We intend
to be productive fixture in your midst
if permitted to exist"
The two bills were then carried by
unanimous vote over the mayors veto.
A message was received from the
mayor vetoing number of demands on
the treasury from the street superin-
tendent's office for the pay of street
carts. The demands were for 81 per
team instead OF $3.50, as provided by
law, and the making of the demands for
$4 was a clerical error, and was mad
vertently passed by the council. The
necessary change was made, and the de-
mands so approved.
On motion of Mr.. Hamilton, the city
attorney was instructed to prepare and
present an ordinance on Monday next
calling for municipal election to elect
city officers, to be held on the first day
of December, $780,
On motion of Major Bonsall, the
amended ordinance of intention to re-
grade First street, and fixing the dis
trict of assessment for the same, was put
upon its passage, but when the roll was
called only five members voted for it,
and the president decided that the mo-
ton to adopt the ordinance was lost.
Mr.. Shafer appealed from this decision,
but the city attorney, who was present,
held that as it provided for an assess
ment, six votes would be required to
carry it through.
The matter of fadopting the forty-seven
precincts, into which the city has been
laid off by the county authorities, as
precincts in which the city election
shall be held, came up and was referred
to the city attorney for report. 1t was
claimed that in some instances the pre-
clncts as laid out overlapped one an
other.
The council then adjourned.

Ruined by Chess.

In the committal of Fred Elder, of De-
troit, for vagrancy is written the close
Of the life of one of the brightest news
paper men Michigan ever saw. Fifteen
years ago Elder, who had graduated at
Amherst college with high honors and
obtained his diploma from the law school,
came to Michigan as newspaper man.
His mind was of the brightest, keenest
kind, and he could call to mind the very
page and paragraph Of any quotation
from Blackstone or Kent, and was per-
feet encyclopedia on Shakespeare. He
learned to play chess and became en-
raptured with the game. His love for
chess overcame his care for food and his
profession, and he lost his position. Step
by step he drifted down, sacrificing any
thing for the gane.-Detroit Cor. Phila-

SOual NOCeS.
E. B. Pierce and family will occupy
the Davenport cottage for the winter.
Mr.. and Mrs. A. R. Watkins of Pc
oria, ILL.,, are visiting Santa Monica for
a short time.
The very interesting services of con-
firmaCion were held at the Episcopal
church Wednesday, Assistant Bishop
Nichols administering the rites OF the
church to a good-sized class.
Considerable money changed hands
here over the result, the Democrats re-
trieving considerable of their losses on
Pond by their gains on Gibson, who
carried the two preciLcts outside OF the
home, as did Munday.
Wednesday Mr.. and Mrs. John Bas-
sett were called suddenly to Oakland, to
attend the funeral of Mrs. Bishop,
mother of Mrs. Bassett. They have the
sympathy of the whole community in
their affliction. Mrs. Bassett's father
died about six weeks ago.
The election passed off here very
quietly. In the Santa Monica and
Vicente precincts the Democrats made
considerable gains over the vote for
Harrison, but at the Soldiers home
(nationaD the Republicans had it all
their own way, the Democratic workers
being unable to cope with the mistaken
sentiments of the inmates of the home.
The vote in the township (three pre-
cincts) is as follows: Markham. 454;
Pond, 200; Reddick, 431; Del Vale. 1856;
Carpenter, 425; Wolfskill, 222 Aguirre,
432; Gibson, 246. All the local Repub-
lican ticket was elected. The tickets
were very much scratched, and it was
not until Wednesday morning that the
count was completed

country residence of Peter Zimmerman
was discovered to be on fire. The flames
were first seen in a bay window at the

Made His Will Before Robbing the Train.
A startling feature of the train rob-
berry near Brewton, Ala, was developed
recently Criminal court was in session,
and Solicitor Stallings had been active
in having therobbery fully investigated.
He says the evidence is conclusive as to
Rube Burrows being the perpetrator.
He has positive evidence that only two
days before the train robbery Burrows
called ON Capt. Green, a prominent at
torney, and, disclosing his identity un-
der professional honor, asked him to
write his Burrows) last will and testa-
ment.
He said to the lawyer that he had been
outlawed without a show, and large
price had been put upon his head. He
expected to be killed at any moment.
and he wanted to dispose of the little he
possessed in due form. He said he had
some money, and his family would know
where it was. He has sister living
about thirty miles from Brewton, just
across the Florida line, and was stopping
with her at the time he had the will
written.
It is generally believed that Burrows
had in contemplation the Escambia river
bridge train robbery, and was preparing
for all emergencies. Register.
