The RAILROADS.
A New Route to the Top of
Wilson's Peak.
1t Will Be Located via the San
Gabriel Canon.
President Marvel to Return to This
City Today.
Professor loves Bonus Claimed-Man-
vel at san Diego-The Ter
minal Roads Progress.
News Notes.

Professor Lowe, of Pasadena, offered a
bonus some time ago for a route for a
railroad to Wilson's peak, which would
have less than a per cent. grade
throughout. Such line has been To-
Gated, and it is probable that the pro-
lessor will have to hand over the bonus.
The line followed, in general terms, is
as follows: 1t commences at Altadena,
skirts the foothills to the San Gabriel
cafion, goes mp the cafion to the West
Fork, follows the West Fork till it
reaches the north side of the peak, where
an easy grade to the top is found. 1t is
asserted that Professor Lowe will build
on this line and at an early date.
PRESIDENT MANvEL.
President Marvel, of the Santa F6,
spent Sunday and yesterday in and about
San Diego. He listened to the usual
complaints, and made a smooth non
committal response, full of taffy for the
town, bay and climate, and left things
just as they were. Mr.. Marvel and Mr..
Wade will return today to this city.

An Electrical Bouncer.

II Is stated that the engineer at the
electric light works, Nashua, N. H.,
having been troubled considerably by
men and boys walking into the dynamo
room and tracking quantities of mud,
hit upon an ingenious device to put o
stop to the nuisance. A chain had been
placed across the doorway, but this was
easily removed by the intruders, SO that
1t was OF no use in keeping them out.
The engineer procured a wire mat,
placed it in front OF the door, and con-
nected it to the pole of the dynamo with
a wire. The chain was connected to
the other pole Of the generator by an
other wire, both wires being arranged
with the circuit open, but in such way
that 1t could be closed at wildly the en-
gineer. The operation of the device
was that when the visitor came to the
door, stood ON the mat and took hold Of
the chain the engineer quietly switched
on the current, and the party seeking
entrance was Immediately paralyzed,
and was glad enough to make Off when
the current that held him was turned
off. A repetition Of this experiment
upon the loafers of the vicinity resulted
In their keeping clear of the place.

la GRIPPE IN CHINA.
Ten Thousand Persons suocuInb to th
Disease In One DAY.

Ten Thousand Persons Succunb to tho
Disease In Ono DAY.
The grip has swept over the Chinese
empire aud hundreds OF thousands Of
natives have gone down before the
dread disease. 1t was ia February that
the grip invaded the dcnsely populated
nation, and during the thirty days its
ravages were felt the death ratio In
creased to enormous proportions.
An American, who is in the Chinese
customs service at Whampoa, was at
Whanpoa at the time the grip was car
rying away the Celestials by the thou
sands.
"The Chinese did not know what dis.
ease had broken out in their midst, and
hundreds of the natives ! know were
frightened to DEATH" said he. "The
Chinese physicians were unable TO say
what disease was causing the enor-
nous increase in the death rate, and
the result was panic. The Mongolians
imagined the evil spirit was demonstrate
ing his wrath by sending a plague
among them, and in order to head OF
the wicked fellows intentions they
went through the streets Of all tho
large cities beating drums. The inten-
ton was to drum the evil spirit out Of
the country.
AT Whampoa, which is ten miles
from Canton, the natives became 80
alarmed that they took down tho big
drum which was built in the Joss house
there, and thousands Of people marched
through the streets after the huge In
strument, which was being pounded all
the time by four or five husky China
men. From that time ON the death rate
decreased, and the superstitious Inn
agined the disease had been drummed
away.
II talked with several American
physicians who were travelling through
the country and they said the disease
was the grip. The symptoms were ex-
actly the same as the people who
were afflicted in this country expert
enced. During one week in Canton ut
the time the disease was doing the most
harm fully ten Thousand people in that
city alone were buried"

what he thought tie right course, and
was wholly free from self-righteous-
ness. He had a pleasant vein Of humor,
and was only kept from being satirical.
by his extreme good nature. He had.
numerous pensioners, who, he thought,
adclaims on his family. Though rich
and a bachelor, he said he could not af-
ford to pay a heavy rent and lived in
small fiat in the Rue Constantinople. l

shareholder, lending four and half
millions to the bank Of England. Some
body twitted him on having remained q
bachelor, and observed that II was
pity there was no other Lafayette to
succeed him. He replied; "The family
is all but dead, but what does II mat
ter? Our name will be forever asso-.
ciated with the greatest republic and
most powerful nation the world has
ever seen--America.'
