SANTA MONICA, March 6.
Conductor Craig and Engineer Ha-
man. of the Southern Pacific, enrolled
their names on the immortal pages OF
Santa Monica history yesterday MORN
ing by running the first train through
the tunnel and up the beach to. the
point where the track laying was fin
ished, which is very close to the caflon.
They will undoubtedly be through to
the cafion by nishtfall. Onlookers saw
that Frank Ellis of the North Beach
bath house was 90 jubilant that he acted
as flagman, waving a piece of an old
bed blanket in lieu Of flag.
CITY POLITICS.
just now the talk of the town ia about
evenly divided between railroad and
wharf news and gossip about the forth
coming election, which takes place on
the 11th OF April next. There being
three trustees to be elected in place OF
Messrs. +. j. Vawter, T. A. Lewis and
J. j. Conello of the present board, a
marshal in place of Mr.. X. Banetto, and
clerk in place of H. E. Pollard to be
elected. The new law passed by the
last legislature leaves a number of our
citizens in the dark, but everything is
being simplified by our legal luminaries
and the many aspirants for local honors
are blossoming forth in great profusion.
At present, besides the present encum-
bente, there are mentioned for trustees,
Messrs. ]. 8. Wilson, George Pendleton,
N. A. Roth, H. l.. Lowman, George
Giroux, Jake Rogers, E. Buddy and
legion OF others. For marshal the fight
seems to have narrowed down to one
between Banetto, the present in
cumbent, and Constable Dexter, and the
clerkship between Pollard, present clerk,
and Constable q. s. Dales, his opponent
two years ago.
