There Is trouble and nearl-burning in the

the old adage that 1.-The course OF true love
never runs smooth" has again been exempl-
fed.
The family consists of Mrs. Essie Lardner;
her daughter, Mrs. Harris, and son, Harry
Lardner. Mrs. Harris is a handsome blonde
and was divorced from her husband recently.
Thomas Burke, young clerk, is an intimate
friend of Harry Lardner. and while visiting his
mothers house fell victim TO the charms OF
his sister, Mrs. Harris. Mrs. Lardner did not

REVIEWS THE WAR.
Western Union Against
the Postal.
Another Attempt to Force Its Rival
Off the Atlantic and Pacific's
Right of Way.

The Western Union Telegraph Company
has carried its quarrel with the Postal
Company to the United States Circuit
Court of Appeals.
Both companies claim that they have
authority to construct and operate lines
upon the right of way granted by Con-
greSs TO the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad
Company.
The Western Union obtained its right
by contract with the railroad. The Postal
claims equal privileges by virtue of the act
of Congress under which it was incorpor-
ated, and asserts that the Atlantic and
Pacific had not the power to grant the ex-
elusive use of its right of way to the
Western Union.
Suit was brought against the Western
Union and the ATLANTIC and Pacific Rail-
road Company in the United States Circuit
Court for Southern California by the Pos
tai Company to settle the dispute.
Judge Ross. before whom The case was
tried, decreed: THAT the Atlantic and
Pacific Railroad Company acquired by its
grant right of way across the public
lands of the United States 200 feet in
width and extending in this State from the
Colorado River to the town of Mojave, for
the purpose OF con structing upon it rail
road and telegraph line. That the Postal
Telegraph Company, under the provisions
of an act of Congress, approved in 1866, has
the right to construct and maintain its
telegraph line upon this right of way that
the contract between the railroad COM
pany and the Western Union Telegraph
Company is, so far as it restraints the At
laDtic and Pacific Company from granting
to the Postal Telegraph Company rights
and privileges demanded by it, null and
void. and the Atlantic and Pacific Rail
road Company is directed to grant the
Postal and Telegraph Company all the
rights and privileges demanded by it,
The Western Unions appeal from this
decision was filed yesterday. The COM
pany contend that the court erred in de-
Gliding that the Atlantic and Pacific did
not receive the fee of the land in the right
ot-way, erred in deciding that it received
only an easement over the way. 1t as
serts that the court erred in deciding that
the right-of-wav was not an exclusive in
terest. but subject TO the entry of the
Postal Telegraph or any other telegraph
company organized in the United States.
The Western Union also appeals on the
ground that the decree of the court takes
from it its private property without due
process of law and that the court erred in
deciding that the contract between it and
the A tlantic and Pacific had its value i'm
paired by legislation enacted subsequent
TO the execution of the agreement.

ARE UP.
kearny-S Street Line About
Completed.
The Work of Removing the General
Offices TO the New Quarters
Proceeds Very Slowly.

The work of erecting poles and string
ing the wires for the Kearuy-street cleo
trio line goes rapidly on despite the unfa-
vorable weather, and it is probable that
this portion of the work will be completed
to-day. There is little probability that the
entire line will be in operation before the
latter part of next week, however, as three
cars for use on this line have not yet az
rived and are not expected for several
days yet. so the officials stated yesterday.
The line will be open first through TO
Broadway aud return.
An ingenious method of stretching sup
porting wires at the junction of Kearny
and Market streets has obvated the neces-
sity of erecting any poles at that point.
The line followed by the new route will
be along Kearny street to Broadway, to
Powell street and thence TO the end of the
line, returning via Stockton street and
MONTGOMERY avenue to Broadway.
There yet remain MS a good deal of work
10 De done on Kentucky street. which will
be taken uD as soon as the men can be
spared from the work on Broadway. 1t is
understood that some delay will be expert
enced in the delivery of cars already
ordered for the various electrical lines.
This Is occasioned by changes made In
their construction determined upon since
the Mission and Third street lines have
been put into operation. 1t had been in

the new line; but they have been found
to be impracIicable, and so orders have

The extension of the service across
Channel street and into the Putrero will
not be attempted until all the work on
this side has been completed. When that
is done provision will be made for prob
ably every third or fourth car crossing the
draw bridge, while the others will start on
the return trip from Third and Townsend,
as at present. A system of transfers will
be utilized such as is now in use at that
point for passengers who may not happen
to be on a through car
The law department of the Southern
Pacific is about the only one which was in

vailed. Saturday the force of Secretary
Willcuit of the Market-street Company
will be moved, while the land department
is being delayed by the absence of neces-
sary shelving. The ticket department and
telegraph Office will probably be the last to
move. but it is thought everything will be
in fairly good running order by the last OF

BOUGHT FOR SlOO.
The Story of a "Native Daughter"
Lately Landed.


Collector Wise few weeks ago was
asked to land a Chinese girl who asserted
that she was a native of The State. AS is
usual in such cases the Collector made in-
quirieS concerning her and became con-
WINGED that she was an impostor. He told
her aud her friends that she would have to
60 back to China. A day or two later
Hong Cling procured writ of habeas cor
pus for the girl and when Commissioner
Heacock examined her he decided that
she had right to land. The native
daughter was taken to Chinatown, where
she is at present. and Hong Cling was ar
rested for Gaping in the Police Court.
Collector Wise took no further interest in
the matter until yesterday, when he re-
ceived the following in terestlng communi-
cation:
