lobby-and did it, too, without request
and, strange as 1t may appear, without
mpensation-simply because the meas
ures were cinch measures and aimed at q
corporation which--whatever its faults
had done some benefit to the State and
was entitled at least to Justice. There
was, in consequence, a feeling of obliga-
ton on the part of the directors of the
company toward this gentleman, which
the corporation, being soulless and deal
ing only in dollars and cents and their
equivalents, could not discharge.
When Colonel Crocker learned casually
of the situation of the widow, he quietly
and without the knowledge even of his
friends took steps by which he bought
up the mortgage and had the entire
property placed in his own name, SO that
by no accident could it be taken from or
lost to the widow. He then had eighty
acres of it set out, at his own expense, in
choice fruit trees and cared for for three
years. This coming year they viii pro-
duce good crop, and every year in the
future a good income. Colonel Crocker
has just had papers executed by which
the entire income of this fine orchard is
secured to the widow during her lifetime,
and at her death the property can be had
by her children on payment of the eX-
act amount expended by him, without
any interest. Through mere chance a
knowledge of these facts reached the Bee,
and is here made public, as indicating
that Colonel Fred Crocker is disposed to
do very handsome act in a very quiet
and gentlemanly way. The Recording
Angel will doubtless allow this act to
partly offset tho entry on the other side
of the book, showing that the Colonel is a
director in a great and ''soulless" cor
poratiOn.

NEW TIME SCHEDULE
Railroad Changes to Go Into Effect on
November Ist.

Railroad Changes to 60 Into Effect on
November Est.
Some two weeks ago mention was made
of the fact that the railroad company
was contemplating several important
changes in the time table, but that ar
rangements were not completed. IL ap-
pears now that the plans are about COM
plete, and the changes will go into effect
November 1st next Sunday. The
changes mentioned at the time and addi-
tionaI ones since decided upon are as fol-
lows:
The east-bound overland train, which
now arrives ut Sacramento from San
Francisco at l0:40 p. NJ, viii reach this
city one hour earlier. In order to do this
the train must leave San Francisco at g
O'Clock in the evening. This change will
be gladly accepted by people who desire
to return 10 Sacramento from the Bay IN
the evening at a SeaSOnable hour.
Then the time of the north-bound
Oregon express viii be so changed that
the train Will arrive here at I0:30 p. H..
two hours earlier than it does at present.
1t will proceed nOrthward from the city
at 1880 2. n.
The west-b bound fast mail train, No. 4,
Is on the programme to arrive at $40 y.
N. and to proceed to San Francisco at s \.
NJ, reaching the latter place at I1:45 A. NJ.
This VIII be great convenience to per-
sons who prefer the later morning train
80 the Bay.
Probably the most important change
contemplated viii effect the west bound
overland train which carries second
class through cars. At present this train
climbs and descendS the SierraS in the
night and reaches this city at the early
hour Of 2:25 O'Clock in the morning. The
railroad people have decided to have this
train arrive at Sacramento at Gas o'clock
in the evening, and depart for san Fran
cisco at 5:05 p. NJ, reaching the metrop-
oils at $40 p. n. This will enable bust
ness men here TO complete their days
labors and make flying trip to San
Francisco.
The Colfax local train will be with
drawn.
The local train for Stockton, Liver
more and San Francisco, with cOnnec-
tons for the south, will leave at 1910 a.
NJ, instead of 1880 a. NJ.
The local from Lathrop carrying con-
nections from the south viii arrive at
1880 A. NJ, instead of $3.50 A. NJ
The local train for Lathrop win leave
at $50 A. NJ, twenty minutes earlier than
at present.
The afternoon train for Lathrop, which
makes connections with the south-bound
express, will, after next Sunday, leave at
7 +. NJ, instead Of 4:30 p. NJ. This change
was necessitated in order to transfer the
passengers, mail and express, after the
west-bound overland reaches this city in
the evening st 6:45 o'clock.
The east-bound overland train, No. l,
which leaves this city now at ll:50 a. NJ,
will start hYe minutes later.

CHARITABLE DEEDS.
Col. Crocker's Provision for a FRIENDS
Widow.

f ening Bee, October 27th.I
The directors of a great corporation
like the Southern Pacific Company are
the subjects of SO much abuse and criti-
cism from shippers and others who can
not agree with them as to the fairness OF
the company's policy regarding freight
rates and kindred topics, that creditable
acts on the part of such directors may,
with propriety, be commented on to
show that, after ALL they are ordinary
men, actuated by the same springs OF
humanity as others who-not being rail
road directors-h have escaped public abuse.
Colonel Fred. Crocker, the rising power
in the directorate of the Southern Pacific
Company, has proved himself to be an
able and hard-headed man Of business.
But aside from that he has on various
occasions displayed the enterprise so
often seen in the young Californian of
the present generation, and seems dis
posed To be liberal in public matters.
The Native Sons of the Golden West,
Calitornias favorite Order, remember
with pleasure that it is to the libefality of
Colonel Crockcr that the State owes the
restoration of that historical landmark,
Suffers Fort, he supplying the greater
part of the funds needed therefor.
An incident that has only become
known within the past few months to a
few of Colonel Fred's friends illustrates
another phase of his character, for which
the general public has not given him
credit-that is, disposition to be chari-
table in quiet way. It seems that some
three years ago q certain gentleman not
unknown in public matters in this State
died, leaving his widow nothing but l60
acres of unimproved land heavily mort
gagged. The deceased had upon several
occasions protected the railroad from
'cinch" measures on the part of the

REEDS DOODLE CHARGES.
They Are the Subject of investigation
by the Grand Jury.
The supervisors Give Their Testimony
The Justice Court Case VIII
Proceed Uninterrupted.

The Grand Jury resumed its session
yesterday, and went into an investigation
of the accusations recently made by Will
lam Reed, Florin farmer, against three
members of the Board of Supervisors.
Reed, it will be remembered, made
speech during a recent Farmers ALI
ance meeting at Gait, and becoming en-
thusiastic, charged that the three members
Of the Board of Supervisors who voted to
repeal clause of the liquor license
ordinance received $4,000 for their votes
the money having been raised for that
purpose by the liquor dealers.
The Grand Jury subpenaed all OF the
persons interested in the case, and took
their statements. Reed did not attend,
but there were others of the Alliance peo-
pie there, including Secretary S. M.
Landsborough and J. E. Camp, both OF
whom gave testimony.
The entire Board Of Supervisors was IN
attendance and each member gave ms
testimony separately. The three mem
bers who voted for the repeal OF the
clause-MesSrs. Jenkins, Miller and
Black-were questioned closely regard
ing the matter. Each, it is said, replied
that he had never received cent OF
money from the liquor dealers, or any
body else for his vote: that he had never
heard of any money being raised for that
purpose, and that he had never been
offered any. Each OF the three Supervi-
sors also testified that he did not know
on what ground Farmer Reed made his
charges of Doodle. They testified also
that they voted for the repeal of the
clause in the liquor ordinance, because
they were satisfied that 1t did not have
the effect of closing the dives, as was con-
templated.
Supervisors Greer and Bates when
called in testified that they had voted
against repeating the clause, but at the
same time they believed the other three
members voted for the repeal honestly
and without any reward.
M. S. Nevis, whom Reed said had given
him the information on which to make
the accusation, denied that he had ever
told Reed anything of the kind. Editor
Campbell, of the Gait Gazette, declared
that he had reported Reeds speech cor
rectly, and the latter had in his presence
reiterated the charges he had made in his
speech.
This closed the investigation of this
case, and the Grand Jury took the matter
under advisement.
1t was stated on the streets yesterday
afternoon that the Grand Jury's investi-
cation of the Reed case would take the
matter out OF the Justice Court, where il
was to be heard on complaint made by
Supervisors Jenkins, Black and Miller.
charging Reed with criminal libel. Dis
trict Attorney Ryan, it is reported, says
shis Will not be the case, unless the Grand
Jury should indict the supervisors OF
Reed. If no indictments are found the
case in the Justice Court will proceed.

An Illustration OF the Ways of the

A suit has been brought in one Of the

March, 1889. The note was for only SIS,
bat it was TO bear interest at the rate of
5 per cent, per month. 1t was stipulated
in the note that in case the interest was
not paid it was to be added To the princi-
pal and bear like interest. Further, it
was stipulated that in case a suit was
brought to recover on the note the maker
was to pay the holder 30 per cent. of the
total amount due for attorneys fees.
Palm paid the interest from March un-

him from paying further interest. Be-

Here is an incident from the South Mississippi, written in April, 1890, just after the Grippe had visited that country. " I am a farmer, one of those who have to rise early and work late. At the beginning of last Winter was on a trip to the City of Vicksburg, Miss. where got well drenched in a shower of rain. went home and was soon after seized with a dry, hacking cough. This grew worse every day, until I had to seek relief. consulted Dr. Dixon who has since died, and he told me to get bottle of Boschee's German Syrup, Meantime my cough grew worse and worse and then the Grippe came along and I caught that also very severely. My condition then compelled me to do something. I got two bottles of German Syrup. I began using them, and before taking much of the second bottle, I was entirely clear of the Cough that had hung to me so long, the Grippe, and all its bad effects. felt tip-top and have felt that way ever since" PETER J .BRIAIs, IT,, Cayuga, Hines Co.,, Miss. @

GEORGE CHRIST attempts to answer our charges by a general denial. That Mir. Christ bolted the Pima county con venticn of 1888 is known as public fact in Pima county. Applying the usual rule of evidence of false in one thing, false in all, " it should follow that Mir. Christ's statement must all fall. Mir. Christ says he was elected alternate yes, but over the solid protest of the entire delegation from Pima county. In our issue of the 7th we said: "Sev- eral collections, intended for the Ma tioual Committee, at last heard from had not reached their destination" " This Mir. Christ answers by saying that he showed certain receipts. If so Mr. Christ must have paid it in after Gen. Dudley, treasurer of the committee, had notified several parties that no money appeared to their credit.

EDITOR BROWN.

Editor Brown, of the Cii:ea, is the very last man in Arizona who should come to the defense of George Christ, or say that ''it will take more than an- cient antiquities to convince them that such is the fact. If the parties making these charges have proof let them put 1t before the people" Stand up, MT. Herbert Brown. Did George Christ bolt the Pima County Convention in 1888 or not2 Did George Christ have the slightest cause to bolt that conven- tion-other than that he was honorably beaten? Mir. Herbert Brown did you stand by the deathbed of your old friend, Swan P. Nelson, and if so, do you say that he lied in what he said to you then about Christ. Others with less policy than you have sworn to MT. Nelson's dying statements. You say the Investigating Committee exhon- erated Mir. Christ on those charges and you accept it, then you necessarily charge your friend with lying on his deathbed. You have jumped into this, NIT. Brown, and, by your editorial, questioned the truth of our charges, and call for proof. We accept your challenge, and place you on the stand. Please answer these questions, yes or no:
 First-Did George Christ bolt the Pinal County Convention of 1888?
 Second-Did George Christ have any cause other than that he had been hon. orably defeated?
 Third-Did you stand by the bed of your dying friend, Swan P. Nelson, and did he then tell you certain matters re- garding George Christ that were after wards charged against Christ on the sworn testimony of several high brother Masons, as having been told by Nelson just before dying, and that were subject of investigation by the committee you refer to?
 Fourth-That committee, having, as you say, exhonerated Christ, do you now believe that your dying friend de- hberately lied to you and his brother Masons?
 Policy is good thing, Mir. Brown, but what kind of chance does any honest man have with man like Christ, who did not accept the action of the conven- tion of which he himself was a mem- ber' but against all rules of political decency or honor bolted it's action.
 We know of no one who has spoken more harshly of George Christ than Herbert Brown, his present appar- ent warm friend and packer.
