MANY old time friends paid sorrowiul
visits to the Morgan residence last night
and a party of faithful companions passed
a vigil there. Beyond the extraordinary
palor the face of the dead man looked
peacefuland lifelike. No shocking evidence
of the suicide could be seen. The
last look will, therefore, carry with it a
vivid recollection Of poor Beard as he
once was.

Feeling In Town.

There is a good deal of feeling in town,
much of it directed against John w.
Collins. 1t should not be forgotten that
there are always two sides to every story.
Public opinion should be held In allegiance
on this subject until all the obtainable
facts have been learned. These may very
much modify present appearances. There
Is no necessity OF Judging harsh!y or
hastily. Before the end of this week the
exact condition of things, at least SO far
as Cheyenne is concerned, will be abso-

The HERALD some days ago showed
by interviews with Observer Franklin,
of the weather bureau, that the water
on the Colorado desert was not affecting
the climate. The following statement
made by T. S. Van Dyke in the San
Diego Sun on the matter is of corrobo-
rative interest.
He said: "In my opinion it is pre-
mature to give any fixed opinion upon
this subject, as it will take at least two
years to decide the question, and so far
l fail to see any cause for alarm. Theo-
retically it ought to affect the climate,
but practically we may not be able to
notice the change, even should the lake
continue. We would not notice the fall
ing off of mile an hour in the regular
sea breeze, nor an increase of even per
cent. in the humidity.
ga glance at the map will show that
not more than one-tenth of the desert is
flooded, and there still remains the great
Mojave, that is perfectly dry, and added
to this are the dry plains of Arizona
and Utah, all of which have an influ-
ence upon our climate. 1t would take
about 100000 miners inches OF steady
flow to balance the evaporation of lake
containing 1000 square miles. as alleged,
but there is no probability of any such
lake being formed, The maximum
evaporation for any one day is not over
three.quarters of an inch from the sur
face, and it is probable that not over
one-twentieth of this amount could be
precipitated in the form of rain. If the
whole should descend in the form of
rain it would only give three-quarters OF
an inch on tract thirty-three miles
square. This, you see, is wholly in
sufficient to account for the immense
rainfall all the way from the south of
Lower California to the northern edge
of the Mojave desert.
"The records will probably show that
it has been raining heavily in Arizona,
Sonora, New Mexico and on the great
plains generally, and the records Of this
county will show that in the summer of
1883 there was more hot weather ex-
perienced here, and with as much hu
midity and higher minimum than we
have yet averaged this year. The rain
fall in the mountains was not so great
as this year, but there were more cloudy
days and'light rainfall frequently in the
mountains. On August IL, 1878, 1.S0
inches of rain fell in this city, and on
the following day .15 additional fell,
while the rain fell in the mountains for
several days, starting all the streams
running
"In August of 1858, 1.35 fell in San
Diego, and all the old settlers have
heard old Californians tell how Mission
valley was flooded in the summer Of
1885. Before that time the river was
lined with sycamores and willows, but
they were all washed out during one
days rainfall in August, 1885. There
are no reasons why the experiences OF
the past should not come again any
year, and increased rains may be looked
for in this locality when they are un-
usually heavy on the Sonora rain belt,
which is the case this year. II the Gulf
of California, filled with warm tide
water from the tropics, does not make
any increase in the rainfall in the CEN
tral portion of Lower California, we
need not worry about the small speck
of an inland sea that the Salton lake has
formed, SO far as affecting our climate is
concerned"

THE LOS ANGELES RAILROAD SCANDAL
Six Assumpsit Suits Begun Against Holmes
and His Company


and His Company.
CHICAGO, Jan. 23.-The hints at startling
revelations in the disastrous investments by
c. B. Holmes in the Pacific Railway Com
pany, of Los Angeles, merged into some
thing tangible this evening, when Attorney
Levi Mayer filed six suits in assumpsit, with
Charles Whitacre and Robert Law, as plain
tifs, against Mr.. Holmes and the Pacific
Company, for damages aggregating $3.50, GOO.
"Aud these are only the beginning" said
Mr.. Mayer, who added: "After various con-
ferences by the parties who invested their
money in the Pacific Railway Company, it
was decided at 4 meeting this afternoon to
bring suits to recover"
Mr.. Whitacre represents a number of
banks in Chicago which loaned money to
Holmes and the Pacific company from Au-
gust to October of last year, to carry on the
Los Angeles enterprise. For these loans
the company and Mr.. Holmes gave their
notes, secured by what purported to be first
mortgage bonds of the Pacific Railway
Company, but which they claim have
proven almost valueless, and the Los An
geles Railway Company, which the Pacific
Railway Company succeeded, had already
issued first mortgage bonds to the amount
of 81, SOC, 900. Robert Laws connection
with the deal is the same as that OF the
banks. He took the bonds as security for
loans to Holmes & Co., aggregating $3.50, =
900. Attorney Mayer asserts that the re-
ceivership granted was simply a ruse to
enable Mr.. Holmes and his friends to get
possession

TWO MEN KILLED AT A BIG BLAZE IN
BUFFALO.
The Pecuniary Loss VIII Reach $500, 900
Several Firemen Overwhelmed by a
Falling Wall of Brick-Some of the Men
Are Badly Wounded.

BUFFALO, Jan. 23.-The new and hand
some building of Warner Brothers was
almost completely ruined by FIRE tonight,
in which two lives were lost. The building
was of brick, trimmed with cut stone, Eve
stories high. 1t was divided into four
stores, occupied by Warner Brothers, OAR
ling & Scholes, Zingsheim & Harrisand L.
Marcus s. Son. The total loss is estimated
at S300,000.
Two men were taken from the ruins, dead.
They are Adam Fisher. chief of engine No.
4, and Robert Snyder. Shortly after IL
o'clock, when all thought of further damage
of fire or falling walls had apparently
passed, and the Chief was dispensing
what men were not needed. the fire.
men from engine No. 4. were stationed
in front of the Marcus building and
several streams were playing upon the
ruins. Chier Hornung and Assistant
Chief Murphy were standing just behind
the pipemen, directing the work. Suddenly
the wall was seen to totter, and before the
men could move to escape the danger it was
upon them. Theodore M. Krouss, George
Whitner and Anthony Keller dragged
themselves out. They were hurried to the
hospital. DIR. Corlett hastily dressed the
wounds of Snyder, but although everything
was done for him he died.

FAIR RESTAURANT PATRONS.
Their Ways With the Menu Are Not the

Their Ways With the Menu Are Not the
Ways of Men.
New York Herald.1
Did anybody ever observe without amuse-
ment woman order luncheon in a restaur-
ant? There is certainly nothing funnier
unless it is two women ordering.
Someone has aptly said that ''were it not
for the eyes of the sterner sex upon them, it
is more than probable that women would
begin with ice cream and end with SOUP"
Of course there are exceptions, and many
ladies who are accustomed TO dine and lunch
at hotels, either alone or with husbands, be-
come as fastidious as men. But take the Or
binary fair and youthful creature; no mat
ter how hungry she may be, she either tries
to get out as cheaply as possible or else she
orders the most incongruous dishes.
The latter class will go into fashionable
hotel-restaurant, perhaps two together, and
order soup for one and then fill up OH bread
and rolls, which, with the best butter, makes
a very tolerable repast. At least so says u
leading hotel man.
Thus" he continued, chad we not been
obliged to charge extra for bread and butter
served with soup only, they would get off
for 10 cents apiece anu vet nave the ad-
vantage OF the best surroundings, as well as
the most excellent table service.
"With others it Is not a matter Of money
at all, but simply of queer tastes and ideas,
and frequently an ignorance of the nature
or amount of the dish ordered. Some who
intend to have an extended luncheon will
order soup Tor two when there are only two
ladies, although as starter soup for one
would be plenty.
"Others will order lobster or chicken
salad, with glass Of milk. and this will be
followed up with an order for ice cream or
charlotte russo, with chocolate eclaires to
cap the climax.
"Many look at the menu without its con-
veying any idea to them, and then order at
random from pure helplessness.
"However this may be, a woman seldom
orders a soup, then fish and winds up with a
well cooked entree. with small cup of cafe
noir IL she cares for it.
''But. after all. perhaps the feminine
palate differs from the masculine one, and
in any case If the ladies are satisfied no one
should complain"

There is a standstill between the Confer
ence or Scale and Wage Committee of the
Flint Glass Manufacturers and the Flint

have demanded an increase of wages for
certain workmen, which it is thought the
condition of trade does not warrant or justi-

move list, notably on solid stem pressed
bowls.
No interruption can result from any pres
ent failure to agree, as the former agree
ment provides for prolonging of last

A ROAD TIED UP.
ONLY MAIL CARS CAN BE MOVED AT
HUNTINGTON, IND.
The Striking Operators at Present Have the
Advantage - Other Roads Refuse to
Honor Orders-The People Sympathize
With the Strikers-The Company Threat
ems the Removal of Its Shops.

HUNTINGTON, IND, Jan. 23.-The
situation on the Chicago and Erie Railroad
has remained unchanged during the day,
and not wheel, with the exception of mail
cars, have moved. Chief Dispatcher j. H.
Klein is assisted by his son and an operator
named B. H. Jefries, but they have not
made much headway.
Last night, after the conference between
General Superintendent Moorhead and the
Co ommittee. they all left in special car for
Chicago, for the purpose of holding con-
sultaton with General Manager Tucker,
but up to this hour they have not returned.
The company has used every effort to secure
telegraphers to take the place of the oper-
ators, but without avail. Several times
they had all arrangements made for
dispatchers to come here, when the
striking dispatchers heard of it, and by
telegraphing the situation, the men were
persuaded not to come. Since the Chicago
and Erie is tied up. the only road out of
this place is the Wabash, and that road has
notified the Erie people that they will not
honor their orders for transportation for
their passengers and freight, and it is re-
ported all the other roads have done the
same, which makes the situation worse than
before, and gives the dispatchers and con-
ductors a good advantage. The men who
are out are the better paid employees,
the dispatchers and operators receiving
from S100 to $3.50 per mouth, while the pas
senger conductors receive $3.50 and the
freight men FROM $50 to S125.
Superintendent Merrill said this after
noon that he could run train and send it
over the road il the authorities here would
only furnish him with the proper police pro-
tectiou. The people, however are SYM
pathizers with the men, aud are aiding them
in every way they can against the company.
General Manager Tucker intImated in a
communication to-day that the company's
large shops here would be removed should
the people continue in their sympathy with
the Strikers
