purse containing fifty dollars in gold was
received from the sons and daughter in
the west and the guests increased this

Morgan is q smooth talker and he easily

told to call the next day and go to work.
All this conversation took place on the

the next day, but failed to find him..
For week he tramped the streets in

VICTORY OF TEE LEAGUE.
1t Wins It's Fight Against
Unjust Tolls.
Captain William L. Merry Makes Rsp,y to
the Letter Sent Him by the League Of
Progress-The Nicaragua Canal

There is great joy in the camp of the
League of Progress. for that young organi-
ZatiOn has already achieved much promi-
hence and recognition.
The fight against the unjust toll system so
long in vogue has been won and the Harbor
Com ssioners have decided TO adopt new
system.
The transportation companies will here
after no longer be able to charge cents for
every fraction of a ton and pay cents for
the whole ton only.
liz the consignment is less than ton In
weight the toll is regulated accordingly
that is, there are four new divisions made,
and in such cases there will be cents
charged for every quarter OF ton.
This will largely increase the income of
the HarbOr Commission and will save, 1t is
estimated, some $4,000 per annum to the
merchants.
Captain William L. Merry. tie local agent
of the Nicaragua Canal Construction Com
pany, has officially taken cognizance of the
valuable aid his company may receive from
the League of Progress In the future.
Yesterday Secretary Taylor received Cap.
tain MerTy's reply To the leagues etter sent
him last week and published In THE CALL.
at the time
Thanking the league for the promised
cordial support Of the Nicaragua canal, Cap
tam Merry says in his letter:
1t is IAN encouraging indication when our
young men who have lately taken up tile acfiyi-
tles m NE thus prove their appreciation OF an
enterprise which VIII enable them to develop the
great possibilities OF San Francisco as a seaport.
Inc letter then refers to the fact that at
present the merchants are compelled TO
avali themselves Of the Cape Horn route TO
OBTAIN cheap rates and points out how the
distance by water between the East and
west Will be shortened by the canal. (which
is now only question Of finance and will
surely De carried through to success"
captain Merry expresses pleasure thu,
many OF the merchants OF San Francisco
have already given fina ncial support tn the
canal and hopes many more will in similar
manner show their appreciation i'm the
future. WV

PULLMAN CAR MYSTERY.
Porter, Pistol and $4,000
All Mixed Up.
Parker John Ashford Goes to Bed on the
Cars and Is Rudely Disturbed and ssri-
ously Injured by Shot.

The novel "a Mystery Of a Hanson
Cab" seems likely 10 be outdone by an
actual mystery of Pullman palace car.
Last summer Parker John Ashford de-
termined upon trip East. For years he
had worked faithfully in a responsible po-
sition for the Pacific Rolling mills, and on
this occasion felt fully entitled TO enjoy a
jaunt TO Boston with his wife and family.
1t was on the way home that the mystery
limited at occurred. MIR. Ashford is possess
sed of means, and before taking the cars at
Boston he drew $1,000 in notes, and for
safety placed them in secret pocket in his
undershirt. He had heard OF Western train
robbers.
The party left Boston early in October,
and on the night of the 18th of that month
were between Ogden and Kelton, New.
Soon after leaving Ogden Mr.. Ashford
turned into his sleeping berth and composed
himself to dream of his joyous homecoming
to California.
Between IL and II o'clock he was rudely
aroused by pistol shot. The passengers
were seized with panic. and dozen voices
were heard asking for information and the
colored porter
But the colored porter was not immedi-
ately Forthcoming. Neither was the pistol
nor the bullet propelled from it.
The bullet was finally found in Mr. Ash
ford. lt had entered his right side, be-
tween the ribs. and lodged somewhere near
the breast bone.
Investigation failed to find pistol or any
one who would own to having fired one.
Suspicion turned on the eolored porter
who had come all the way through from
Boston, and Mr.. Ashford found some one
who saw the shot fired and another who
saw the porter run out Of the end of the
car and climb up on another car. The pre-
sumption was that the porter found cut
about that $1,000 hidden on Ashf0rd's per-
son and wished to annex Ii.
The theory of the other side is that Mr..
Ashford had the pistol under his pillow and
by some means fred it off himself, and that
II the porter fed Ii was but in fear lest his
own head might not be able to resist the I'M
pact of second stray bullet.
Then Mr. Ashford, after his wound was
better, although he never expects to be
altogether recovered, determined TO bring
suit for damages
But against whom ?. The Southern Pa
cific Railroad, with its delightfully."- ready
way OF gliding out OF responsibility, politely
referred him to the Pullman Company and
the latter back to the Southern Pacific.
Anyway, yesterday Mr.. Ashford sued the
Pullman Palaces Car Company for S22, 900,
$1,000 Tor medical expenses and $50 COO for
damages sustained from the shot at present
so enw raped fD mystery.

which are handsomely executed in gold
leaf.
The inscriptions are self-explanatory and
show al a glance the amount of the different
crops garnered in 1879 and the present year.
The figures are so grouped as to form
ready and useful comparison of the two
crops.
On one banner the inscription reads:
