now under the ban, because it is sup-
posed to be Hoodooed, and the Hoodoo
having had two victims must have
third before it is satisfied.
Last week w. III. Toler, brakeman,
was making coupling, when his arm
got caught between the cars and was so
jammed that he had to 60 into sick
quarters, and it will be some time be-
fore he is able to use the limb.
A brakeman named l.. N. Vest was
put on in Toler's place, and all went
we'll until yesterday morning, when he
was coupling the air hose between the
engine and the baggage car, when the
Hoodoo got in his work again. There
was some mistake in the signal, and the
engine backed at the wrong time, catch
ing Vests fingers and splitting them
wide open.
According to railroad mems creed
there must be third accident, and then
the train will be all right.
NR. HUNTINaToN's VIEWS.
A dispatch from New York in Wednes-
days Chronicle is.as follows:
C.P. Huntington said today that the
death OF Mrs. Hopkins-Searles will in
no way affect the management or policy
of the Southern Pacific railroad proper
| ties, although Mrs. Sealles was very
large holder of Southern Pacific stock.
The important interests held by her first
husband, Mark Hopkins, passed to her,
and now they will 60 to Mr.. Searles.
The impression has prevailed that
combination of interests had been
formed by Mr.. Huntington and Mrs.
Searles as against Senator Stanford and
his friends. Mr.. Huntington says that
such is not the case. 'There are no diff
ferences of opinion on matters of busi-
ness between Mr.. Stanford and myself"
said he. There is no clashihg of inter-
ests as to the management of the COM
pany's affairs, and everything will go
nized the fact that we could not stay
here forever, and provision was made a
long time ago for the perpetuation of the
management should any one OF us be
stricken down. Now that Mrs. Searles
is gone her stock will certainly not be
| inimical to the interests of the other
| holders.
''As for getting up a strife over the
control of the road, added Huntington,
II can say that no one person controls
the Southern PaciRc system. l am in
| trusted with its management, and the
other owners are satisfied. would very
gladly let somebody else take the reins
if could find man competent to do
the work"
THE NEWPORT AND SANTA ANA ROAD.
The Santa Ana Press announces that
from yesterday the Newport and Santa
Ana road will have passenger accommo-
dations.
The step has been contemplated by
the management of the road for some
time, but no definite arrangements
could be made until the present. 1t is
safe to predict that hundreds will avail
themselves of this opportunity for quick
and cheap transportation to the popular
resort at the landing and the erection of
the pavilion at the beach will also add
to the number OF visitors. The time
card of the road will be as follows

RIVERSIDE WANTS THE SOUTHERN PACIFIC.
Now that it seems perfectly certain
that the Santa Fe is to build into San
Francisco, says the Riverside Press, it
would seem the natural policy for the
Southern Pacific to build into all those
important towns where their rivals now
have undisputed possession. Riverside
fvnr dc nd will
handsomely for the Southern Pacific to
come in at once. The present would
seem to be the proper time to press this
matter upon the attention OF the railroad
managers. The Southern Pacific, if it
shall openly attempt building into this
city, will find little difficulty in getting
through, if we may judge by the senti-
ments we constantly hear expressed.
THE PENINsULAR ROAD.
Captain Hanna, OF the Peninsula rail-
road company, returned from Tia Juana
last night. says the San Diego Sun. He
says that Chief Engineer Shaw, with
party of four assistants, and twelve men
with two four-horse teams were entered
at the Mexican custom house, yester-
day, and struck camp on Mexican soil
last night. This morning at O'Clock
the party started, and are now survey
ing in earnest. Captain Hanna says
that the steamer Caspar will arrive to-
morrow morning with freight and mails
from Ensenada, and sails Saturday
night with machinery, and provisions, for
r. A.. Graham's grading party at San
Quentin. Mr.. Graham will return from
Oregon about August Sth.
NOTES.
The Oceanside Herald reports that
men are now at work repairing the Te-
mecula line from Oceanside to Del Luz,
and trains will again soon be running to
that point. If this is done there will be
but short stretch of road left unfin-
ished in the Gallon. From the north the
road is in operation to Temecula.
General Manager X. II. Wade, OF the
Southern California, will return from the
east on Saturday.
