CHEAP Incandescent lamps.

1t is reported that an English chemist
has discovered practical substitute for
plantinum in the manufacture Of incan-
descent lamps. If this be true, and the
rumor is said by reliable electrical jour-
nal to have substantial foundation, it is
a discovery Of great Importance. AT its
present price plantinum forms one Of
the most expensive items in the manu-
facture of the incandescent lamp. In
each sixteen candle power lamp there
are from four to eight grains of plan
tinum.
Assuming an average of six grains per
lamp, an ounce will be sufficient for
eighty lamps The demand for sixteen
candle power lamps for 1891, based
upon reliable data, will be 10000, 900 six
teen candle power lamps, which would
give demand for 125,000 ounces Of
platinum, which at present price $14 to
$17 per ounce) would amount to about
8, 100000. The probable income from
these lamps will not amount to more
than $4,000, 600, while the cost Of one
item alone is one-third the total income.
Hence it will be seen that bona fide
substitute for the platinum wire ought
to mean q fortune for. it's discoverer..

SAN Francisco, Feb. 1S.-At the Office
of the South San Francisco Land and
Improvement company this afternoon,
Peter Her, manager, said the company
will probably expend 81 900, 900 in i'm
provements during the coming year.
The tract which the company has ac-
quired, extends from San Bruno point to
Baden. Plans have been prepared for
some buildings connected with the abat-
toir, which will be erected in addition
thereto. A large portion Of the town
site has been mapped out. The company
will have deep water at free wharfs, at a
basin connected by canal with the bay,
and this inducement may persuade
manufacturers to locate there. 1t is pro-
posed to make this point the center oi
the dressed beef industry of the Pacific
coast. A large share of the capital comes
from Chicago. The abattoir will cost
from Sips, 900 to $l50,000, and be mod
eled after the largest establishment al
Chicago. Its capacity for business viii
be to slaughter 500 beeves, 1900 hogs anC
1000 sheep per day. Mr.. Her also sale
work toward the development of the

JUDGE EW.F. FITZGERALD.
HIS APPOINTMENT AS SUPREME
COURT COMMISSIONER.
ulating Friends Yesterday-The Kind
of Man He Is.

Judge w. F. Fitzgerald has sore
right hand and an aching right arm
this morning All day long Yesterday
he was greeted with congratulations and
warm hand-shakes on his appointment,
announced in yesterdays paper, as state
supreme court commissioner. The Judge
seemed to have as many Democratic
friends as Republicans, for many prom
inent members of the former party were
noted in his Office Offering him good
wishes.
The judge had not applied for the
Office and knew nothing about it, until
Tuesday afternoon friend called up his
office by, telephone and announced the
appointment. A very large portion of
the Republicans of Southern California
have had Judge Fitzgerald in view as a
senate should vacancy occur, but
he has, with a good taste not
shown by other Republicans mentioned
in the same way, absolutely refused to
allow his name to be used or any cleo
tioneering to be done. This fact has,
however, strengthened his already
SJTOuS lOllOWluS, duu LIS pEcStub dp-
pointment would not prevent his being
formidable candidate and very pos
sibly successful one.
The Judge in talking to HERALD re-
porter yesterday expressed his gratifca-
tion at receiving the appointment, unso-
licited as it was, but regretted deeply
that its acceptance would enforce his re-
moval to San Francisco.
Judge Fitzgerald is perhaps the lead
ing man in his party in Southern Cali
fornia, and one of the most prominent
Republicans in the state. His ability is
of the highest order, and his personal
qualities such as to endear him to all
who know him, as we'll as to draw forth
the highest respect.
He was for seven years district attor-
ney in his native state, Mississippi; he
received his party vote as we'll as that
of the Independents in the Mississippi
legislature for United States senator
against the noted L. @. G. Lamar, and
was appointed by President Arthur and
unanimously confirmed by the senate as
| justice of the supreme court of Arizona,
| from which territory, six years ago, he
removed to Los Angeles, where he at
once came to the front in his profession,
| in politics, and in the hearts OF his
| friends.
The judge will leavelfor San Francisco
in very few days. His office is very
responsible one, being practically a
| judgeship, the decisions of the COM
mission simply receiving the approval
of the justices to become final,

The Astor Reslaences.

Inc AetOr AcuA0eucoos
Where the present Astor will affix his
historic doorplate remains to be seen.
At present he lives in modest house al
most under the shadow of the big man
sion which he has torn down, and which
was not the sort of house that would
please man of taste of today, having
nothing but its size to recommend it. It
is the custom Of every Astor to build .
new house upon coming into the family
millions. The original John Jacob lived
opposite our postohice, his son lived in
Washington square and the late John
Jacob lived in the house now Just torn
down. The regular procession up town
should take the present Astor up to the
park and his son to Harlem.
A popularity Of the Astor investments
is that these Astor mansions have al
ways been built upon property which
when bought was away out of town.
The Astor estate now holds several
blocks Of lots on the Riverside drive,
the superb avenue which runs along the
bluff ON the edge of the Hudson river
from Seventy street to Harlem
This line will unquestionably be some
day the finest place for dwellings in the
country, and it would not be surprising
if the present Astor were to settle there
himself. The view from anywhere along
the drive takes in miles and miles of the
noble Hudson. Foreigners say that there
is nothing in Europe so superbly stu
ated as our Riverside drive, yet because
it is mile away from the fashionable
thoroughfare it is deserted. York

CUR CABLE ROAD.
Interesting Developments in the Litiga
tion Over the Receivership.

Interesting Developments in the Litiga-
tion Over the Receivership.
CHICAGO, Feb. 1S.-A morning paper
publishes review OF the litigation in
connection with the Pacific railway of
Illinois, which owns the Los Angeles
cable road, and which was recently put
into the hands OF a receiver. Among
other things it gives a summary of an
affidavit by Charles Whiteacre, repre-
senting some of the creditors, in which
it is claimed that the suit under which
the company was placed in the hands
of a receiver, was not in fact in the in
terest of the creditors, but OF certain
heavy stockholders. 1t is set forth that
when the Pacific company bought the
Los Angeles cable road, the latter was
bonded for 81 500, 900; 1886, 900 of which
bonds were held by the Bank of Cali
fornia, and that the road was not worth
that amount; that the directors and Off
GERS of both corporations are the same, and
the buyers and sellers in the transaction
were the same, notwithstanding which
$2,500,000 in stock was issued on the
property. The answer alleges, in other
words, that for the privilege of trading
they gave themselves $2,500,000. A
number of capitalists, banks and cor
porations in this city and St. Louis are
creditors to the amount of 81 ,257 900. In
addition to this are floating debts Of
$3.50, 900, and $3.50, 900 owing to the Bank
of California, of San Francisco, which
amounts, however, are secured by an
equal amount of bonds issued by the
Los Angeles Gable railway company.
