TEE PERKINS RAILROAD.
A Rather Promising Outlook for its
Construction.
Some Of the Subscribers Want to Go
Into the Business Themselves
The Committee at Work.

Ina aconyersation with a RECoRD-UNIoN
reporter few days since, George C. Nc
Mullen-who is member of the commit
tee selected to solicit aid from land-own
ers for the construction of an electric
railroad from this city to Perkins-stated
that they were meeting with great deal
of encouragement The committee had
not, however, been able to see many Of
the more prominent landowners, but
expected to complete it's canvass in a few
days.
Mr.. McMullen said that some Of those
called upon favored road, and would
contribute toward building one, but OBJ
Jected to turning it over, when fully
equipped, to the Electric Railway Com
pany. The proposition was advanced,
he said, to retain the ownership of the
line among those who had built it and to
operate it themselves.
1t was argued that if the Electric Rail-
way Company could afford to operate the
road, the builders could afford to pur-
chase couple of cars, employ one or
two motor-men, purchase electricity from
whatever source they could getit cheapest,
and themselves go into the railroad busi-
ness.
!,
to consider what should be done with the
road when built, the main purpose of the
committee being to first ascertain whether
enough money could be had to pay for a
track, poles and wires, provided an agree
ment should be arrived at later on as to
the mode Of operating the road.
A gentleman connected with the Elec-
trio Railway Company was asked on Sat
urday what he thought of the PROPOSE
tlon of some of the builders of the pro-
posed line to themselves operate it. He
replied that he was satisfied the COM
pany would be glad to have the builders
run the road.
we believe there would be nothing in
1t for US" he said, "for several years to
come, and if the gentlemen who want the
road will build and operate it that would
suit US. You see, they would, for their
own convenience and profit, necessarily
have to connect with one of our lines,
and we would reap whatever benefit
might come from the traffic they would
bring to town.
But, if the Perkins people should de-
eide to do as was proposed at the meeting
a week agO-build the road and turn it
over to the electric company to operate
tt for the benefit it would be to that sec
tion-we would be in a position to give
the best possible service, as our company
would not be limited to one or two cars
but could, on special occasions, run all
that were needed"
1t was learned from Mr.. McMullen that
the subscription list was headed with a
$4,000 dopation by a gentleman who owns
some good land between the city and
Perkins.

He Catches tho Eye of an Ex-Califor-
nian III New York.
D. Il. Verdenal of New York, in his
weekly letter to the Chroaicle about old
Californians, says:
"a rather patriarchal sort of man
might have been seen meandering aim
lessly about lower Broadway. There
was kind of Sacramento River air about
him, and the wind blew through his long,
gray whiskers in a patronizing way. He
was taking mental notes of the doings of
city he hadn't visited for years. And
when he returns to your Supreme bench
Justice Mcfarland will give his brother
Justices the benefit Of his experiences.
'0ld Dame Rumor with wagging
tongue said that the Judge had been
down to Washington to see if he couldn't
build fence around one of those lifelong
woolsack arrangements that President
Harrison is coddling to, but I hardly be-
ieve it. The Judge only wanted little
rest and recreation, and to prove it he
brought Mrs. and Miss Mcfarland with
him, and we all know that when a Cali
tornian comes East on business he al
ways comes alone.r

with informing him that they had no
money.
In the meantime, Williams alleges, his
tenants disposed of sixteen head of his
young cattle to party in Sierra County,
for which he few days ago caused their
arrest on charges of embezzlement. They
were apparently about to leave the ranch
with al their outfit when served with the
warrant.
The men were taken before Justice
Anderson, who first placed them under
$500 bonds to appear on the 2Sth for ex-
animation, but as they could not give the
bond they were released on their own
recogniZance.
On Saturday Williams laid the matter
before District Attorney Ryan. who
ordered the case dismissed and directed
that new one be instituted before Justice
Smith.
Thequestion now is, where has Robbins
and Zwifier gone.

Two youths named Brady, who live on
Twenty first street, and who have given
the police considerable trouble, were out
for "time'' Saturday night, and had it.
Early yesterday morning they had
reached that condition ofinebriety known
as fighting drunk" They went into the
Central House on * street and were Gre
ating a disturbance there when Officers
Kripp and Wilson happened along. The
Officers took the belligerent youths into
custody, but had only proceeded two
blocks with them when they broke and
ran as fast as they could.
The one whom Kripp chased thought
he was big enough TO whip the officer
(who is probably the smallest officer on
the force, but he caught a Tartar When
he turned ON the young officer the latter
was not IN the least dismayed, but on the
contrary gave Brady a humping that he

The other brother escaped from Officer
Wilson, but Kripp subsequently, caught
him, and when he, too, wanted 10 fight,
the officer accommodated him.

The body loses its vigor, gets tired easily and
