SANTA MONICA.
The Proposed Eisotric Raiiway-Newi
Notes.

The Proposed Electric RaiiwRy-News
Notes.
SANTA MONICA. Dec. .9.-Those who
are interested in the deal, which they
claim is consummsted, as far as prelim.
inares are concerned, claim that we will
have electric railroad connection with
Los Angeles before the summer OF '9o
opens. 1t ia most earnestly hoped that
such fate awaits US in '95, for there is
no Improvement which would mean
more for Santa Monica in every way
imaginable, than for rapid transit be-
tween the metropolis and her favored
seaside resort.
The plan ia to run from the Sisters
hospital over the old Los Angeles and
Pacific track to Santa Monica, and to
connect it at Los Angeles with the cleo
trio consolidated system, and to have
one COZ, .,iinuous line from Mount Lowe to
the sea. with srsh developments along
tiis line as 70 astonieh old timers who
have been used to pretty tall develop
ments in the past.
The recent rains have started every
one to planning Improvements, certain
that now a prosperous season 10 as
sured money will be plenty and that
improvements will we'll repay the money
invested.
There is one public improvement
which ahould now be pushed with all
possin nle speed under the present happy
sunrise OF progressive development,
which is absolutely a necessity. l mean
sewers. In discussing the question all
pet,, Jealousy and private quarrels
should bs cast aside when the matter
comes up for determination. Those
who might be tempted to oppoee the
construction of sewers because of any
real or iancied grievance against any
one person or persona should bear IN
mind that the people will hold him or
them in remembrance and that no
eophistical talk will hoodwink them.
Opposition now should mean political
oblivion. The times command public
spirit and l am happy to state that all
are imbued that way.
The south side people are moving in
the matter of looking after their special
interests, which is good way to go to
work TO benefit their town end section,
and it is to be hoped that their orgsniza-
ton will result in good for that portion
of the city.

VENTURA, Dec. 9.--Ths board Of aupef.

tions OF James Daley and Peter Poole to
be declared elected to the Office re-
spectively, OF justice of the peace and
constable OF Ventura township. Some
time previous 10 the stgeneral election
the board of supervisors decided and
enacted that one justice and one con~
stable were ali that were necessary to
transact the business OF the township,
which consists OF the town OF Nenlura
atone. But on election day four candi-
dates were voted for for each Office,
Capt. Frank Hobart receiving the largest
number OF votes foi justice OF tho peace
and Frank FYce for constable, who were
declared elected. The first named gem
tlemen having received the next highest
number Of votes for the respective
offices now claim that the supervisors
exceeded their authority in tina on act
ment OF the ordinance providing Tor one
iietice and one constable oaly, aud
therefore demand TO he declared elected.
The matter will probably be taken to
the supreme court Of the state f0r final
adjudication.
it was not deemed advisable 10 make
any expenditure for exhibits as suggested
by the chamber Of commerce of San
Francisco, and the supervisors inetrucs-
ed the clerk to so notify that body.

Talking That Results in a $4,000
Suit for Damages
TROUBLE In THE LUTHERAN CHURCH.

Mrs. ROsana SchIHchter SUes IT. IL
Whiting for Accusing Her OF Theft
Other Court Cases.
Mrs Rosana r. Schlichter filed q suit
for $4,000 damages against I. /. Whiting
in the district court today. The ground
on which she asks the damage is defa-
nation of character and running her rep
utation for integrity. The story of the
case as told by the plaintiffs attorney, 5.
B. Isenhart, is substantially this:
In the summer of 1892 the Lutheran
Sunday school gave an excursion and
picnic at Bismarck Grove. near Law
renee. Ice cream, lemonade and other
hot weather dainties were sold. Mrs.
6chIichtsr was among those who helped
TO make change at the cashiers table.
When the event was over an in
ventory of the receipts and
cash on hand revealed q shortage
of about $25. II IL charged of Whiting
that he accused Mrs. Schlichter at tie
time and on many occasions since with
the theft. It il said that only few, if
any, believe the charge. These charges
were never made to Mira face
and she did not become aware Of the
ugly charges that had been going the
rounds about her until few days ago.
Lawyer Isenhart says that while he
dislikes SANDER cases he believes Mr..
Whiting has carried the case entirely too
far and that his plaintiff ID entitled to
damages.
Other Court Cases.
E A WAGNER, administrator of the
estate of Mary Nj. Norman, deceased,
filed a case in the district court today to
recover $2.605 with interest, from Sam
uel ii. Norman, Nancy Norman, and 9TH

$2,6O5 in cash, and that the relatives
have fraudulently refused to turn any
part of it over to him, as the administra-
tor of the estate.
