IRENE CLARK.
She Causes Another Sensation at
Police Headquarters.

She Causes Another Sensation at
Police Headquarters.
Irene Clark, the young Englishwoman
who several months ago attempted to
commit suicide, raised quite con-
sternation at police headquarters about
midnight last night. She was arrested
on First street, and was booked for
drunkenness. Irene had not been in
the cell more than ten minutes before
Emma Brown, who shared the cell,
gave the alarm that Irene had attempt
ed to shuttle of this mortal coil. Upon
opening the door of the cell it was found
that Irene had handkerchief tied
around her throat, She kept exclaim-
ing, II am innocent. Take care of my
1t took the combined efforts OF Clerk
Cottle, Officer Sanchez, Jailer Hare and
a couple of reporters to prevent the girl
from tearing out her hair.
She persisted in saying that she had
taken poison. Dr. Wing, who was sum-
moned by telephone, stated that she had
not taken poison. Irene was very tragic,
and demanded that certain clergyman
be notified to call upon her.
While Irene was shouting out that she
was innocent, Emma Brown. the colored
woman arrested at church by Officer
Bosqui for having on stolen dress, said
to reporter, II am innocent, too, but
I think too much OF my life to take poi
son."
A couple OF men rather under the in
fluence of liquor called at the station at
L 80 and inquired about getting Irene
out on bail.

THE RAILROADS.
THE EXTENSION OF RICHARD
GIRD's CHINO ROAD.
1t Will Be Built to Tide water-some
Points About It's Prospects = News
Notes About Railroad Matters.

Regarding Richard Gird's Chino VAL
ley Narrow Gauge railway the Chino
Champion says that the prospects for
its extension to tide water are favora-
be, and that each weeks work has been
enc OF progress. 1t is very certain that
the people of Anaheim, Garden Grove,
Westminster and other places in Or
ange county are very much in earnest
for 1t. 1t is known that Ontario will
put up 100000 on reasonable condi-
tions. Pomona would have much to
gain by joining in. A connection with
Pomona would give that enterprising
city direct connection with the coming
city of Chino and competing railroad
to tide water. The road would give
Ontario, Pomona and Chino direct con-
nection with the immense deposits of
bituminous rock in the Chino hills, and
with all that has been said against this
material for pavements, sidewalks and
indeed many uses, it is growing in
favor. Business warrants the extension
of the road to the sea. There are no
risks in it's construction and operation.
The establishment of the sugar industry
at Chino with the natural wealth of the
country it is designed to traverse, will
insure it a large business from the very
day it is opened for traffic"
NOTES.
The land slide on the Southern Pacific
near Tehachipi on Friday crushed three
freight cars.
John Clark, the local general agent
of the Union Pacific, is in San Francisco.
The statement of the Union Pacific,
with all it's branches and leased lines,
for 1890, has been published. The mile
age was increased 104, the gross earnings
for December show decrease of $164 ,028
as compared with those of December,
1889, and the expenses, by similar
comparison, show an increase of $685.
1854, showing total decrease of 1892, ,S93.
The earnings were 1857 1873 more than
in 1889, and the expenses were $5,015, 1862
greater than those of hepreceding year,
so that the net decrease is 81, ,4l8,224. OF
the six divisions of the company's sys-
tenn only the Union Pacific Denver and
Gulf shows a net increase of earnings
over expenses, as compared with the
same figures for 1889. With the vigor-
Gus rerrenchment and reform policy now
in operation, 1891 will probably result in
a different statement.
General G. M. Dodge, the chief of con-
struction of the Union Pacific company,
when in San Diego few days ago,
yielded to persistent endeavors and had
an interview with Ex-Governor Water
man on railroad matters, and San Diego
particularly, in reference to the govern
.or's Cuyamaca road. The talk was far
from satisfactory to Governor Water

An Immense shark.

While native fishermen were out fish
ing with nets at Waialua, on the other
side of Oahu, monster shark got en-
tangled in one of the nets and was
hauled ashore on the beach. Almost the
whole village went down and killed the
monster with axes. The shark meas
ured eighteen feet in length. When cut
up into pieces two good sized turtles,
one of which was still living, were found
in the stomach. The turtles measured
eighteen inches across. Other things of
a varied nature were also found in the
stomach. The jawbones were brought
to Honolulu by the steamer 9. R. Bishop
and placed on exhibition. The jaws
have seven rows of teeth and measure
twenty-five inches when fully extended.
The natives stated that the mate of the
dead shark managed to escape. Homo.

rhe. Alaskan rurki.h Bath.

The Alaskans, as rule, are not par
ticularly found of bathing, but some of
them like occasionally to indulge in a
sort of Turkish bath Of q primitive char
acter. For this purpose number Of
long sticks are driven into the ground in
circle four feet in diameter, being
thereupon drawn together and tied at a
point six feet from the bottom. A small
fire Of wood, with stones, is lighted in
the middle, and the heat is kept in with
blankets spread over the framework
When only the cinders are left, and the

CHICO, CAL, March l5.-On Saturday
night some one maliciously placed
twenty-five or thirty pieces of giant
powder on the railroad track, just north
of Chico. When the southbound ex-
press came in, nearly all were set off,
badly damaging some of the car wheels.
The object Of the party or parties is
unknown. This. general impression is
that the deviltry was done by tramps.

The Druggists

In Lowell, Mass, agree in saying that they sell
more Of Hoods sarsaparilla than of all other
blood purifiers. For instance:
f. G. GooDALE: sell more OF Hoods sarsapa-
riIa than all other blood purifiers.
A.W. Dows Co.: Hoods takes the lead OF al
other sarsaparillas.
CT. BLANcHARD: We sell moro OF Hoods Sar.
saparilla than of any similar.
MARsroN g. SHAW: With US tho sale Of Hoods
Is to- of any other kind
+. & Z. BAILEY & Co.: Hoods sarsaparilla d
one OF the best medicines
CARLTON & HovEY: Hoods sarsaparilla is one
Of the best medicines we have. Its sale increases
every year.
+. p MOODY: We sell twice as much OF Hoods
sarsaparilla as Of anything similar.
Q. A. SWAN: Hoods isthe most popular sarsa-
parilla of the day.
THIRTY OTHER druggists speak similarly.
This popularity at home, where Hoods Sarsar
parila and its proprietors have been known for
many years, could not continue If the medicine
did not possess merit And these facts should
certainly convince people in other sections Of
the country that Hoods sarsaparilla is good,
reliable medicine.

Frank Rash living in Raymond's
Neck, adjoining the ID. u. CUMMING
farm, had q narrow escape from O
serious loss on Monday morning. He
and his son had hitched up their team
to come to Smyrna, and when some
distance ON the way, at a turn In the
rpad, that brought their place I'm view,
they saw n volume OF smoke arising
from the premises. The team was i'm.
mediately turned back with speed for
home to find the fodder shed In u light
blaze and Impending destruction,
without hasty work, for all the out.
Fortunately, the three Johnson bro
theirs living on the opposite sideef the
road observed the smoke as soon al
most as the fire ignited, and when they
reached the house Mrs. Rash had not
discovered 1t, and there was not n man
on the place. The fire had caught
tEight at the stable door which was,ot,
fire. and running along the litter; had
communicated with tho fodder shed
which Joined up to the stable, the wind
however, driving the ilamesin tho, op-
posite direction.
The first thing the Johnsons did was
to try and save the remaining horse,
but 1t could not be forced out the
only expedient left was to knock out
the other side of the stable, which was
speedily done, and the animal got out
| The fire by this time had, got in tho
stable and one of the stalls wns, aiire
as far as the feed box, and, had eaten
its way through in several places il
the loft, and had caught to the roof
the hay fortunately being at the Other
end of the stable.
Mr.. Rash had gotten home iil thu
meantime, and all hands going TO wori
with will, actually arrested theflamei
/, and suppressed them. From a pont
near by water was dipped up as fast a.
1t could he by the bneketful, and thus
speedily and effectually applied.
Tho fortunate thing and the onl,
thing that enabled the buildings to b,
saved was the blowing Of the wind di
rectly from the North. and away iron
the other property. Thus, a hay stacl
within three feet of the fire was saved
A westerly wind would have swept al
the property and most probably tn
dwelling. g.-Smyrna Times.
