Counselor burst Thinks the Bill for
Them Should Be Paid.
1t seems likely now that the Superlnten-
dent of schools will approve the bills for
the twenty type-writers that ex-Director c.
B. Stone took upon himself to purchase for
the Commercial School. Superintendent
Anderson refused to approve them because
Stone had no authority to contract such a
large bill, or any bid in excess of 500.
Superintendent SWEET asked the advice of
City and County Attorney burst IN relation
10 them, and that official has replied that
in his opinion they must be paid.
He explains that while the Director caus-
ing such purchases to be made had received
no authority therefor, yet the board allowed
the demands and ordered them paid, thus
assuming to ratify the purchase. There is
no question but that the Director exceeded
his authority in making the several par
chases, and there can be no pretense that
an urgent necessity for such purchase
existed.
The demands could not at the time of the
purchase have been enforced against the
city. But the want of authority on the
part of the Director was remedied by the
board in ratifying the Directors unauthO.

Mr.. Paul Conrad Elected Presi.
dent Of the Louisiana State
Lottery Company.

The Board of Directors of the Louisiana
State Lottery Company met yesterday morn
Ing and elected Mr. Paul Conrad President,
vice DR.. NJ. A. Dauphn, deceased.
Mr.. Conrad has practically managed the
affairs of this great corporation for the past
five or six years. He has been an attache
OF the company In various capacities since
1870 and has earned the good will confidence
and respect of all with whom he has come
in contact.
Born in this city in the year 1910, he en-
tered the Confederate army soon after at
tanning to manhood, and his record as a
soldier was as enviable and gallant as that
of any of Louislaua's sons who wore the
gray. lie served with distinction to the end
of the war. He was a member of Cantain
Henry st. Paul Chasseurs a Pied, part OF
the Army of Northern Virginia, and is one
of but a few of the survivors of that famous
command. The company left New Orleans
April %. 1861, for Pensacola. Thence they
went to Virginia, and other companies being
attached, st. PauPS Battalion was formed.
Their first big fight was at Seven Pines,
where more than half tile command were
killed or wounded-among the former being
young Bourges, COnrad's first cousin.
He is and always has been, strictly speak.
ing man of the people. OF a genial and
pleasant disposition and possessing rare
business qualifications he is eninenty fitted
10 iii Ine responsible position TO which he
has been elected. He is an honest, upright
and faithful business man, whose word is as
good as his bond, and, having thorough
knowledge of the intricate affairs of the cor
porati0n over which he now presides, the in
terests OF the stockholders may be said to
be in safe and careful keeping.
Numbers of all classes of people called at
the lottery office yesterday afternoon to con-
graduate Mr.. Conrad On his election.
Republishing this notice from the New Or
leans PicdyRne the Mobile Register says:
ITO the above appreciatve notice few
words may be added. At the terribly hard
fought battle of Sharpsburg (Antietam) Paul
Conrad was desperately wounded, receiving
canister Shot in the left shoulder which
scraped every rib in his body. The ball
entered just above the point of the shoulder
blade and passed perpendiculariy down the
back to the waist, where it was found and
cut out by the surgeons, but not until eight
cen hours had passed after the wound was
received. Though the ball weighed not
more than ten ounces Mr.. Conrad said that
after several hours had passed he felt as if
he had teD-pound ball, Il cannon and car
rage in his back. so great was the shock to
his system. Upon his recovery from his
wound he rejoined his battalion and served
CALAMITY to the end of the war, participating
in all the great battles with the Army of

ALONG THE RAIL.
A Reply Sent to the Trainmen's
Grievances,

A complaint was filed with the Railway
Commissioners yesterday against the Los
Angeles Terminal Railway Company and
the Southern California Railway Company.
The question at issue is one of reducing
rates Tor the purpose of competition"
which is clear violation of Section %,
Article XII of the Constitution. Prior TO
June, 1890, the Southern California road
carried passengers from Pasadena to Los
Angeles and back for 10 cents for the round
trip. In June the Los Angeles Terminal
Company started and made rate of %
cents, with Communication tickets good for
sixty rides, including Los Angeles car fare,
at So The Southern California road met
this rate, and in January both increased
their rates to 81 for Communication tickets and
the 25-cent round-trp tickets were an
nounced to be good only should the round
trip be made on the day OF sale. Both COM
panieS announced that they had the com
missions consent to the increase. The city
OF Pasadena by its complaint practically
denies, II such consent was given, that 1t
was legal, for tue complaint is based on
Section 20 OF Article XII of the new Con-
sttutlon, which prohibits the raising of
rates when such rates were made in cOmpe-
tltion. The object OF the article was to pre-
vent strong corporation from forcing u
smaller out of business by lowering rates.
General Superintendent Fillmore of the
Southern Pacific addressed Il communica-
ton yesterday forenoon to the Trainmen's
Grievance Committee, embodying the COM
panyS reply TO demand for revision of
the recently adopted Wage schedule. The
language of the document is exceedingly
terSe, and at times bitterly sarcastic. The
complaints made by the trainmen on Satur-
day, and answered by Mr.. Fillmore yester-
day, are without exception those which
came UP for discussion a the meeting some
months since, and which we're laid over by
mutual consent as not being pertinent to
the main question involved. In other words,
the complaints formulated and laid before
the officials on Saturday are those to which
the company gave "a negative answer at the
meeting in September. A member of the
committee pretty clearly defined the stua-
ton at the close of the conference referred
TO above, and on the day before the commit
tee disbanded, when he said: ''We got all
we could out of them, and what has been
lett we shall come after some other time"
The Grievance Committee will hold meet
Ing at O'Clock this morning. and at l O'Clock
In the afternoon will meet Mr.. Fillmore.

The Academy of Sciences Asks Leave to
Mortgage Its Property.
The California Academy of Sciences has
petitioned for leave to mortgage its lot and
new building on Market street, near Fourth,
setting forth that the Trustees of James
Lick's estate have in their possession up
ward of $1,000, 900 due it, and also the Cali
torDla Society of Pioneers as residuary
legatees; but that by reason of certain diff
cnlties and litigation they have not di s.
charged certain preceding trusts and cannot,
therefore. properly pay to the petitioners
any of the said residue. The Trustees are
willing. however. to take mortgage of
100000 or less on the said property. and as
1t Will be to the benefit Of the academy to
DO 50, the property being now subject to
costly taxation and the money being neces-
sary Ior the completion of the new building,
the stated prayer is made. Judge Hunt has

hearing the application
