COOK JOHNSON INDIGNANT.
He Refutes Some Charges About the
City Jail.

City Jail.
The head cook of the city jail, William
Johnson, is greatly indignant at the
charges rejecting on the cooking, etc.
made in letter to the HERALD of Tues
day. emanating from James O'Sulliv an 4.
In an interview with a HERALD re-
parter, Cook johnson said::
In Tuesdays issue of your paper no.
ticed card from one JAS. O'Sullivan on
the treatment prisoners receive in the
city Jail. will state in the first place
that Mr.. O'Sullivan should be the last
man to say anything in regard to bad
treatment. know from my own knowl-
edge that the last time he was amongst
us he was treated good deal better than
he deserved.
He said that he was an old soldier,
and that he was suffering from the
many wounds ne received fighting for
the stars and stripes, and that he only
took little tonic once in while to re-
lieve pain; that he was no drnnkard,
but little sick; that was all there was
to 1t.
The jailor took compassion on him
and placed him In nice warm bed in
the hospital, and instructed one of the
TRUSTEES to attend to him and get him
whatever he wanted.
Now, in regard to the treatment the
prisoners receive here, let me state that
it is good. The food is good, we'll cooked
and healthy, and plenty of it. The jail
in itself is not first class by any means,
but it is kept as well and as clean as
ia possible. The bedding and blankets
furnished are as good as could be ex-
pected in any Jail, and as whole the
prisoners are satisfied with their treat
ment.
Voluntarily I make this statement
myself, without any inducement or aid
from anyone"

ABOUT THE RAILWAYS.
THE SOUTHERN PACIFIC AND ITS
PLANS HEREABOUTs.
A Couple OF Foolish MIstatements Cor
rccted-Tke, Southern Pacific to
Kfverside - News Notes
OF Interest.

A morning contemporary which is
noted for its reckless disregard of facts
in It's treatment of railroad news, has
lately published two stories which are
so misleading as to require correction.
In it's yesterdays issue il made the
statement that the Electric Railway
company would likely purchase that
portion of the old Rapid Transit road
which extends from Ramona to Also
street in this city, for the purpose OF
getting into Pasadena.
Mr.. ]. A. Muir, superintendent of the
Southern Pacific company here, yester.
day pronounced the story absurd and
without the slightest foundation.
Some days ago the same paper an
nounced that because it was somewhat
embarrassed financially the Southern
Pacific company had decided to abandon
its extension of the Rapid Transit road
to Riverside and had removed its work
men. ~
In the first place it had no men at
work to remove. Grant Brothers, the
railway contractors, had a lot of horses
and mules at pasture at Puente, and
some time ago shipped them to q point
where they were needed. This was the
basis and the only one for the Times
story.
As matter of fact the Riverside ex-
tension will be built as fast az right OF
way can be had. In some places the
company has been forced to commence
contracts to take land for right of way
rnsItr~ he k~,~ ofk
1t can be stated on the best of official
authority that the Southern Pacific
company will carry out as fast as pos
sible all its projects in Southern Cali
tornis, including the double loop to
Riverside and the double tracking work
on Alameda street. The latter work
will cost upwards of $50, 900.
While all of its purposes are not ma.
ture enough to be published it can be
stated that the company's plans in
Southern California are very extensive
and include the expenditure OF many
millions of dollars.

The birthplace Of ChoIera.

A European authority on cholera be-
Geves that cholera can be e1terminated
by going to the root of the evil. This
disease is endemic at the delta of the
Ganges River in India. in a low
nrea of about 1900 square miles,
caused by the putrefying remains OF
animal and vegetable life cast into the
river by the inhabitants and constantly
aoating about. Formerly the fellaheen
of Egypt inferred their dead on the
borders of the river Nile, and the bodies
were then washed out into the stream
during the annual overflow of the river,
and were carried down to spread dis
ease throue hout the delta. Since an
end has been put to this custom, the
plague no longer harnesses the country.
1t would doubtless be difficult, if not
impossible, to restrain the natives OF
India, inhabiting the region of the
Ganges, from casting their dead into
the waters of the sacred stream ; but
the author thinks this difficulty might
be obviated by compelling the people
to cremate their dead and then throw
the ashes on the bosom of the river
