POSTPONED FOR A FORTNIGHT,
The Santa Fe's Payday Carried
Over Two Weeks.
A Plan to Buy the Blue Line and
Bnild to Santa Monica.
Scarcity OF Cash Causes the Great Rail-
road Corporation to Delay Paying
July Saiaries-GeneraiR Rail-
road Notes.

Treasurer Pattee of the Southern Cali
fornia railway has issued circular no.
tices to all officials and employees of the
company that it is found necessary to
postpone the pay day for July from
August 10th to August 31st.
The circular states that the reason for
this ia the scarcity OF cash, and the diff
ficult7 of securing accommodation from
the banks. The circular states that no
further postponement will be asked.
One CT the officials stated to HERALD
reporter that the same order had been
Issued on the entire Santa Fe system,
and that while it was possible that the
company had friends enough to pay off
on time here, it was considered wiser to
adopt uniform time all over the road.
The amount of cash required by the
whole Santa Fe system for salaries and
wages can be estimated when it is stated
that the monthly payments ON the
small part OF the line embraced in the
Southern California road amount to
from $4,000 to s125.000.
The employees all take the announce
ment in good part and no complaint
was heard from any. They all realize
that they will get their money on the
date announced and appear to be per-
fectly satisfied.

OFF WITH A HIRED MAN.
MRS. FERDINAND HALLER LEAVES
HER HUSBAND AND BABY.
She Chooses q Workman on Her Hus-
bands Ranch as Her Companion
and the Two Leave for
Parts Unknown

Ferdinand Haller Of Grapeland is now
asking himself this question. "What
can equal faithless wife?" One year
ago Ferdinand Haller and his young
wife came from Los Angeles to Grape
land to live upon some land which Mr..
Haller had taken up and which he
wished to hold, says the San Bernardino
Courier. He set to work making I'm
provements and ere long prosperity
commenced to smile upon them. But
soon the snake entered their home, and
their lives changed, as far as Mrs. Hal
ler was concerned.
Mr.. Haller had working for him two
young men named viii Porter and Dave
Henderson. An intimacy. sprung up
between Mrs. Haller and Porter, which
was noticed by the neighbors, but the
trusting husband was blind, and placed
only the most implicit confidence in his
wife, who should have been all the more
true to home and husband, as little
babe had come to grace their freside.
On week ago Saturday the de-
nouement came and the home was
wrecked. On that day Mrs. Haller
went to her husband and told him
shewas going to visit her mother
for few days in Los Angeles.
The husband was glad to see his wife
have little rest. go he took her to the
depot. Mrs. Haller went to Los Angeles
and at once went to the house of q
friend and left the little babe there, tell
ing the friend that she had TO 60 back
to the depot to get her trunk. and for
the friend to take care of the baby until
she returned.
The friend waited until Thursday, but
neither the trunk nor the mother came
back, so the friend wrote to Mr.. Haller
at Grapeland that his little babe was in
her care, and that the mother had gone
where, she knew not. This was the
FIRST the husband knew of his wife's un-
faithfulness. The blow was terrible
one, as he thought the world and all Of
her and did all in his power to make her
happy.
Only few days before she ran away
she told neighbor that he had never
spoken cross word to her since they
were married. Mr.. Haller went to Los
Angeles and got his child, but will make
no effort to get the wife. 1t go happens
that on the same day that Mrs. Haller
got to Los Angeles she was met by Por-
ter, and from there it is not known
where they went. Porter had been
working for Haller about two months.
There might have been double elope-
ment but fate intervened. While Porter
was laying his ropes to skip out with
Mrs. Haller, the man Henderson
was also working little
scheme to elope with woman.
from Etiwanda, but as she missed the
train she failed to meet her dearly be.
loved Dave in Los Angeles along with
Mrs. Hsller and "Billie" Porter.
Mrs. Haller is only 20 years old, and
has been married about four years. She
and her husband came from Los Ang eles.
where Mr.. HRller was in business and
stood high in the esteem Of those who
knew him.

TOO MUCH MORPHINE.
ARTHUR MORGAN's DEATH FROM
THAT CAUSE.
He Acquired the Habit in q Peculiar
Way-His Progress from q Dose
OF Half Grain TO Twenty.
Result OF the Inq uest.

Arthur H. Morgan, aged about "a
years, came to his death by taking 20
grains of morphine on Sunday last at
his residence, 1882 Newton street, and
finally expired about s pm. Monday.
The coroner and proper officials were
not informed of his death until yester-
day morning. and Immediately on hear
ing the news Coroner Gates repaired to
the residence and empaneled Jury.
Two homeopathic doctors had been in
attendance upon Morgan since early
Sunday afternoon, but it seems that
none of them ever reached the conclu-
sion that his chief ailment was an over
dose OF morphine. Such was the testi-
mony before the coroner yesterday.
Morgan, however, died without ever re-
gaining conaciousness, and his wife
called in the coroner.
Morgan was a postal clerk on the
route between this city and Ell Paso,
and had been for several years. Los
Angeles was his lay over point and he
moved his family here, which at the
time of HE death consisted of wife
and three children, who lived comfort
ably in net cottage at the above num-
ber.
Morgan was a total abstaiher from
intoxicating drinks, but according to
the coroner's testimony had within the
past year become confirmed morphine
iend by singular coincidence.
1t is said that his wife, about year
ago, was very siek, and the only allevi-
alton she could fnd was in morphine,
and that the physician left parceled
doses of the drug for her to take at in
tervals, which operated to quiet her suf-
fering and put her to sleep.
Morgan was at first suspicious OF the
drug, and being devoted to his wife,
thought it was having pernicious
effect upon her, and one night deter
mined to test it he took about half
grain, and q few moments later fell back
in his chair in delightful eleey. 1t was
the most pleasing sensation he had ever
experienced, and at last he had found q
panacia for the restless hours he often
experienced when returning from long
"run," tired out in limb he could find
no sweet sleep that knits up the raw
elled sleeve of time" But simple
taste OF the insidious opiate at once
launched him into the repose of forget.
fulness. He learned to love the drug
for its deadening kindness, and under it's
influence he suffered no more from Sleep
less nights. From quarter of grain
he had lured his appetite to 20 grains,
and it was that fateful draught that
killed him.
Coroner Gates held the inquest and
the jury rendered verdict according to
the above facts.

tions for the consideration of the con-
vention:
First-That the orange growers OF
Southern California adopt the same eys-
tenn as Florida.
Seoond-That we establish standard
car OF sizes, and any deviation there
from be subject to q change in prices.
ORANGE BOXES.
Secretary Collins thought the matter
OF determining the sizes of boxes should
be adopted at once in order that the
contracts for them can be let as soon as
possible.
Mr.. Evans of Riverside advised the
convention not to vote this plan at pres
ent. as he had been informed that the
largest mills in the state would be un-
able to get out boxes this size this sea-
son, and in any case the price would be
advanced.
At later date 1t could be told If the
increased size would pay for the increased
price.
A member objected most decidedly to
this view Of the millmen and thought it
was suspicious. He thought that al
most any mill would be glad to get the
order for boxes for 5000 carloads and
furnish them at any size desired. How
ever, he did not believe the change in
the box should be made this season.
Mr.. Holmes of Riverside favored in
creasing the size. He thought this
would put us upon more of an even foot
ing with Florida and there could then
be no moro OF the cry of fraud because
of less oranges to the box.
G. J. Griffith thought that action on
the matter had better be postponed until
further organization should be effected.
After the subject was thoroughly can.
vassed in all its details, it was decided
to bring 1t up for final consideration at
the meeting OF delegates on August goth.
An adjournment Immediately followed.

The noted trotting stallion NICK inney,

Mr.. Charles Durfee, his owner, had him
operated upon by DR.. Whittlesey.
McKinney's condition Ia due to the
careless handling OF him by grooms.
He is somewhat obstreperous at times
and his handlers have used chain
halter on him. By jerking and pulling
on this, one Of the links bruised the
flesh on his lower jaw and In time this
affected the jaw bone, inducing necrosis
and resulting in hole being formed
right through the bone.
The horse was placed on the operating
table by DR.. Whittlesey and cocaine ap-
piled, and then the cavity in the bone
was scraped and treated. 1t is hoped
that healthy condition OF the bone
will result and that the hole viii s5e

Pile could be relied upon TO sanction the
action of the convention, for the subject
had been thoroughly discussed among
them and they were in favor OF ii.
Delegate +. @. Story from San Gabriel
said that the people in that vicinity
shipped about 900 carloads OF oranges
annually; that they had been losing
money on them, and they had resolved
to protect themselves hereafter. Speak
ing for them he would say that they
would readily subscribe to the stipula-
tions Of any agreement looking to their
common protection.
A number of other delegates made
brief speeches pledging their Localities
to the articles of common union, and
this ended the formal reports.
Chairman Chamblin said he was
much gratified at the liberal and pro.
gressive spirit displayed. 1t was plain
to him, that the only thing needed
among orange gfowsrs was an energetic
and persistent spirit to assert their
rights.
In his opinion nothing short of the
absolute control of their product would
inure to the benefit of the orange men
OF Southern California. 1t WAS only by
