not heard from the county treasurer for
week past, and that with great regret
he was obliged to express the opinion
that Mr.. shorb's health was in euch q
desperate condition that he might never
be able to leave the hospital in which he
is being treated for complication of
physical troubles. The whole question
is peculiarly sad one, and calls for
great tact on the part OF the board Of
supervisors, the most delicate and con-
siderate way of meeting the difficulty
suggesting the appointment OF Mr..
Shorb's nephew and deputy, Mr.. J. NJ.

In q Mandamus Suit Against
Plucky Auditor Teale.

II is now definitely settled that q
writ of msndamus will be asked for by
the board of education to compel the
city auditor to approve the demands of
the three of its members who took q
trip north to Investigate heating sys-
TENS for school buildings.
A mem ber of the board said yesterday
that Attorney Trask, who. by the way,
is also member OF the board, was now
engaged in preparing the necessary
papers. As soon as possible, the pro-
ceedings will be commenced.
City Auditor Teale still refuses to ap-
prove the demands, and says he will not
do otherwise unless ordered by the
court. In letter to the board last
week, published in the HERALD, the au-
ditor gave as grounds for his action that
no member of the board can lawfully
expend money from the school fund by
travel.

ton said, in response to inquiries con-
cerning the Southern Pacific Railroad
company's new mortgage: THE new
mortgage will be the frst lien on all the

The company built during the last two

no lien, and the new mortgage will be
the fret lien on this mileage. The
balance of the new bonds will be issued
gradually and only as the con-
otruction OF new mileage requires.
This action is in line with the general
policy adopted by almost all the large
companies at present, to merge all mort
gage liens unified, for consolidated
loan which shall cover the whole Bye

EAGLE Pass, Tex, Aug. 27.-A SER
ious fight took place between armed
bodies of opposing political parties at
Puerto del Armen. near Nadodores. The
Galanists were the attacking party, but
were repulsed with severe loss. The
total number of killed on both sides is
IS. General Francisco Trevino with $50
men is short distance from Piedrasne-
gras waiting the arrival of Governor
Reyes. Manuel Rosas and Jefe Politico
of this district arrived in Piedrasnegrass
and attempted to release all the opposi-
tionists confined in Jail. The latter,
however, refused to accept their liberty.
The prisoners say they viii remain in
jail until General Reyes comes. A re-

tween the federal troops and the Car
denas men at point on the road from
Santa Rosa to Abosola. 1t is said there
were not less than 120 men, mostly
soldiers, left dead upon the field. It is
quite expected that Trevlno will enter

At the fight at Purto del Armen, a
pass in the mountains close to Natadores,
on the road from Cuatro Ciennages to

force and fought furiously. Finally the
Galanmen were driven off and retreated
