THE NEVADA SOUTHERN.

Maps of the First Two Sections Filed In
lnyo County.
Inyo independents: Yesterday G.
Mulholland filed in the land office at
Independence maps of the first and sac
ond sections of the Nevada Southern
railway. This is in reality the Los An
geles and Sal. Lake railway. Thirty
miles OF the road are already completed
and in successful operation. The road
is constructed in the most substantial
manner, and the engines and other roll
ing stock are all first class. A new
locomotive was put upon the road
recently that is one OF the finest
engines yet built in America. Work
on the road is going ahead steadily
and contracts are already made for de-
livering coal at Los Angeles in 1894
from the Utah coal fields. No road yet
built in Southern California excites
more interest than thie line, or ia re-
garded as of more importance. At Los
Angeles, Pasadena, San Bernsrdino and
other towns meetings of all the leading
bankers, merchants and property own
ers have baen held in the past two
weeks, heartily endorsing the road and
promising material aid. Through Ne
vada and Utah similar meetings have
beed held and the same hearty indorse-
ment and support offered the enter
prise.

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties Of perfect lax
ative; effectually cleansing the system
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in SOC and 81 bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup of Figs,
and being we'll informed, you will not
accept any substitute if offered.

BUSY BEEKEEPERS.
THE PROCEEDINGS AT THE ASSO.
CATIONS MEETING.
The Society Considers Acting as Par-
chasing Agents-some Technical
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS from
tho Horticulturists.

The second session Of the Los Angeles
Bee Keepers association was held at the
chamber of commerce yesterday morn
ing.
In the absence of the president. M. d.
Boyce, the vice-president F. w. Black
ford, presided. One of the import mat
ters that was brought up before the
meeting was the consideration OF the
proposition that the association act as
a wholesale buyer of bee supplies and
furnish them to memb bers of the associ-
alton at prices much lees than they can
be obtained for now.
A committee of three, DR.. Millard, l..
HI. Bannister and Elon Hart, was ap-
pointed to further investigate the propo-
sition and correspond with eastern man.
ufacturers and report at the next meet
ing.
Several gentlemen present spoke on
the subject of adopting new cans and
cases in which to market the crop. The
cans now in use are oil cans, and the
general opinion seemed to be that q
change was desirable and necessary.
Attention was called to the fact that
in several sections of the country cer-
tain horticulturalists were evidently dis
posed to antsgonize the bee men in their
endesvors to extend their business.
The active members of the association
at present are:
G.. w. Bodbeck. B. s. K. Bennett, G.
A. Millard, James Jaynes, L. H. Bannis
ter, Eion Hart, j. A. O'Dell. John
House, Allan Barnett, Frank M. Hub
bard, Chris Hoppe, M. d. Boyce, Charles
Bergk, f. W. Dietrich, Christian Han
sen, Anton Bessley, George W. Rowley,
A. I. McAtee, Joseph Clark, N. Lever
ing, F. W. Blacksford.
Every beekeeper in the county, in
fact, all interested in the honey bnai-
ness, are requested to send in their
names to the secretary of the associa-
tion, G. w. Brodbeck, 2231s South
Spring street. Nearly every important
industry in Southern California is rep
resented and protected by strong and
influential organizations, and there is
no reason why this one should not be
organized as well.

Mr.. Batchellor made q short speech.
He said if the convention thought that
he hai done right in the past he desired
the suffrage of Its people. Several per-
some had accused him of taking money
from the county committee. This was
not true. He might be a horse or a
chicken thief but he would never take
money from the committee. One of the
gentlemen running against him had
stated that he had been guilty of such
action, and while he did not like to run
against such kind of people it was a
matter of principal with him, and were
il. not he would decline the Office.
Again did another discussion take
place over the manner OF voting, it be-
ing desired to appoint tellers to pass
through the room and collect the ballots.
Mr.. Severance WAS upon his feet again
and moved to reconsider the vote which
called for the present method of ballot
might just as we'll put in 25 votes as two.
The method was wrong. This motion
was lost. Meanwhile the tellers pro-
eeeded to collect the ballots.
Major Kinley moved that hereafter
each delegate be allowed to vote but
once.
The chair said that this motion was
out of orner. unless all the previous
votes and motions relating to it be recon-
sidered.
A. G. Hinckley moved that oil such
motions be reconsidered.
This served to excite the delegates
again and nearly everyone jumped up
and cried for the question, personal
privilege or to ask for information.
Motions and counter motions followed
each other with lightning rapidity.
Mr.. Hinkley held his ground and
arose to question of personal privi-
lege. He declared that he was opposed
to the method adopted for voting. He
had cast his vote, and he wanted to
know that it would be honestly counted.
Another general talk took place,
which was cut short by the chair stat
ing that the number of delegates and
proxies would be ascertained in order to
detect any attempt at ballot-box stuff
ing.
Mr.. Batcheler, in arising to point of
personal privilege, stated that he would
not accept the position if elected under
the present system of voting. It was
not fair, and he did not think it deter
mined the choice of the convention.
Mr.. Wolfe moved that the members
come up to the front and cast their bal
lots. No attention was paid to this mo-
tion, and it was decided to proceed to
count the ballots.
Another discussion took place over
aome members whoshad just entered the
hall, voting. Several OF them were al
lowed to vote after which the polls were
declared closed. The count resulted as
follows: For Mr.. Batcheler, So; Mr..
Fawcett, SO; Mr.. Luchell, 2, and two
proxies scattered.
Mr.. Batcheler declared the entire sys-
tenn of voting to be farce.
Mr.. Bruce, who had crossed over to
the side OF the room where the opposi-
tion was, moved that the convention
declare its belief in Mr.. Batchsler's
honesty by declaring him its Unanimous
choice. This was received with yells by
the Batchele- aggregation.
Before any action could be taken Mr..
w. w. Lowe of Long Beach, arose and
called attention to the fact that Mr..
Batcheler had not received q majority
of all the votes, as had been previously
agreed upon, and that second ballot

connected with the Homer railroad

port OF the committee on credentials.
There were several mistakes in the re-
port over certain delegates, 80 it was

There was some unnecessary discus
sion after the motion had been passed,

and the committee retired. On it's re-
turn, however, the report was adopted.

Charles Cameron of Broadway Att

 Hut Win Recover.
 Charles Cameron, residing at 85 Broad way, attempted to commit suicide by ssphy yxiation at his home yesterday after noon. Cameron, after an alteroation with his wife, who keeps a restaurant at the aame address, went to a room upstairs and, after carefully tucking paper into all the crevices, turned on tho gas and lay down upon the bed. He was discovered in an unconscious condition about 5:30 o'clock and Dr. Converse was hastily sum- moned. After working over him for some time, he recovered sufficiently to be able to be sent to the almshouse. He will re- cover.
 For some time past Cameron has been suffering from some mental deranRement in consequence of an injury received by 6 derrick falling on him while at work st Hoggson & Pettis' about year seo. This, with the fact that he has been uusble to secure any work for several months. are believed to have been the cause of the rash act. @
