PASADENA, Oct. 21.-The electric road
ie making rapid progress in construction
between this city and Los Angeles
and II nothing interferss cars should be
running around the loop formed by Fair
Oaks and Raymond avenues, Chestnut
street and Bellevue drive by December l.
Work on reconstruction on North Ray
mond avenue was completed yesterday,
which finishes the new line entirely
around the loop. with the exception OF
abort piece ON Chestnut. On Fair
Oaks avenue, north from Chestnut
street as far as the Painter hotel, the
roadbed was relaid soms time ago and
the regulation rails put down. 1t will
only be necessary to put up the over
head wires to run cars ae far ae the
hotel and this will probably be done as
soon as the loop ie in order.
What further moves the company ex-
pect TO make have not yet been made
public, but there Ia no doubt work will
be actively carried on Transforming all
the present horse car lines into electric
roads.
The company has acquired by pur.
chase all the exciting lines. including
the Fair Oaks line, Colorado street
line, and Highland lines. which latter
will furnish direct connection with the
Mt. Lowe mountain railway, thus af-
fording passengers an opportunity to 90
straight through from Rubio to the CEN
ter OF Los Apgelep by electricity.
Material for the Pasadena power
house, which will be located near the
Raymond station, has arrived, incud-
ing part of the machinery, which has
been placed in storage until the
building can be erected. The big
Arroyo Heco is the largses piece of work
finished it is expected the entire line
will be ready for operation. The con-
tractors were much delayed with the
structure on account of the strike bat
are now puehing the work rapidly. The
provisions incorporated in the franchise
as agreed upon, allowing the company
the privilege OF carrying packages not
exceeding 80 pounds, will enable them
TO inetituts a. package delivery both
In Los Angeles and this city and it is
understood they propose to put this
feature into operation aG soon as the
road is running as possible.
The electr people claim they will be
able to carry passengers between the
business centers oil Pasadena and Los
Angeles in So minutes or less time than
il now takes the steam roads, to which
must be added the time consumed in
getting up town from the stations. 1t
is proposed to accomplish this by rum
ming at frequent intervals during the
busy part OF the day, cars which will
make no stops OF any kind between the
two places except where required to at
railway crossings.
he benefit TO Pasadena from such a
system, ii conducted in frst-class
manner, cannot be estimated. The
greatest increase will be noticeable in
values on outside property reached by
the road. The population which lives
in this city and does BUSINESS in Los An
geles will be largely increased.
MYSTERIOUS PHOTOGRAPH.
There is in Pasadena one OF the most
interesting and mysterious photographs
which was probably ever taken. If one
were OF spiritualistic turn of mind he
might account for the picture which the
negative developed az q part production
from the spirit land. To an every day
materialist there is, however, a technical
explanation which might be given. The
photograph was inc pected by the HERALD
reporter THE morning and is certainly
mystery. II was taken with an ordin-
ary kodak at Catalina last summer, the
view being on the beach in front of
Captain Banning's house. At first
glance there is nothing apparent-
ly strange about the photograph
which consists of group OF three, two
ladies and gentleman sitting on the
beach. second inspection will, how
ever, reveal the mysterious part. Di-
rectly behind the group. extended at
full length on the pebbles, is perfectly
dslineated outline OF skeleton, the
eyes. nose and mouth showing perfectly.
The photograph was taken by an anna.
taur during the latter part OF the sea-
son and the negative was only devel-
oped few daye ago, when the fourth
gruesOme addition TO the group was dis
covered. The picture was taken in the
bright sunlight and number of people
were present at the time, to all OF whom
the sppariton 10 deep mystery. 1t hes
been extensively exhibited in this city.
THE CHURcHEs.
The Univsrsaist church was filed

to listen to q sermon by tie pastor. Rev.
Florence Kolock, upon the life of Prof.

who, by his freedom OF thought and
speech, created such stir in the relig-
Qua world. His beginning from an un-
known, unfrisnded youth was traced

evening. Raw. S. S. Palmer of Oakland
preached the morning sermon and Rev.
H. a. Ketchum of Berkeley in the even
