The Railroad Company Has Violated

The Southern Pacific Railroad Company
and its alias, the Market-street Railway
Company, are denounced along Kearny
street from Market TO the base of Tele-

house keepers and all who reside or do
business on the thoroughfare unite their

their rights and Ignoring the laws enacted
for its government.
The cause of all The wrath is the COM
pany's failure to run ears on the street.
Months have passed since the last car was
seen on the throughfare and no one seems
to know when the corporation will resume
It's function as carrier.
There is no doubt liz the minds of the
people that the company has legally for
feiled its franchise by failing to run its
ears on Kearny street, but no one is
anxious. so great is the popular dread of
the monopoly, TO take up arms against it.
impromptu indignation meetings are held
every day by merchants and hotel-keepers,
whose receipts plainly indicate that their
trade and patronage is being turned into
other cham els.
