upon the sentiment OF the people in the
sections of the State through which the
proposed road will penetrate, as outlined
in the newspapers of those regions.
The TulaTe County Times alludes to the
pledge of right of way and terminal faclll-
ties made by the Visalia Board OF Trade
and says that G. B. McCord and w. ID.
WOrSwick have suggested TO the people OF
Tulare, WOodville and Porterville, in
Tulare County, that if they Will hold out
the proper inducements he route might be
changed so as 10 take in those towns.
The Hanford Sentinel says that "the
outlook for right OF way and grading from
Bakersfield through Kern, Kings aud
Fresno counties is good, and there is little
If any. doubt about securing it at an early
day. A franchise will soon be applied for
a0d the preliminary work will be per-
formed as expeditiously as possible"
The Visalia Delta gives assurances on
behalf of the interior in an editorial.
which is in substance as follows: 1.-The
proposition to build railroad from Stock
ton to Baker sfield, through the San
Joaquin Valley, is again engaging atten-
ton. Business men of San Francisco seem
disposed to pick the matter up where II
was dropped two years ago. If they will
make the promises made then the interior
Will do the resi-, and the road will be built
and become a profitable investment from
the day it commences active operations
Visalia and Tulare County can
afford to assist this project literally, and
will do so when assistance is required
and will guarantee assistance now or any
time"
AT the conclusion of an article concern
ing the road the Iulare County Times
addresses San Francisco as follows:
"Wake up. San Francisco! The interior
is ready TO do its share toward building
the Stockton and Bakersfield Railroad.
and live leader is all that is necessary to
make it a success"
Antioch has appointed a committee of
ten to confer with the committees of other
counties. And other towns give like indl-
cations Of interest in the projected road.

directors Is not legal BODY, was not created
according to law, and therefore can be re-
moved. II this is done the old board of di-
rectors Will step into authority as a matter OF
course, and we have The guaranteed pledges of
majority OF that board that If the new board
Is onsted the members of the ola board will re-
sign one at time and the vacancies shall be
nlled by men OF our choice. This action will
any way"
Members OF the committee of seven have re-
ceived hundreds Of letters from depoSitOrs who
live at a distance asking II any one is buying
The bankbOOks and ffering them at any figure,
from 10 cents on the dollar up TO 80 cents.
II is the opinion of the members OF the COM
mittee OF seven. who have taken pains TO make
close and careful investigation, that II the az
fairs OF the bank were wound up into IiQuda-
ron at once the depositors would receive 80
cents on the dollar.

Enthusiastically. 1.-THE noblemeD in ,laran
often have public tournaments to decide
which Is the best feneer, and the pubic
go wild over it. Then the noblemen get
excited and the combat becomes rather a
duel, where lives are rskpd. The people
in Japan love the sword; it is our IA
tional weapon. and they feel more real
confidence in il than in guns. All over
our country the people are now practlcine,
as we are doing in San Francisco. Some
OF the ancient swords in japan are so
sharp they will cut iron as if it were a
melon, and our people cannot abandon
their love for such fine weapons"
1t appears that in Japanese fencing the
receipt of three continuous blows Cd the
head, arm or torso constitutes defeat, but
when the contestants are well matched
the fight may last over half an hour. And
it is during the peaceful repOse Of Sunday
afternoons that the trays Of the Sh oobn
Association wax hottest.

Bank Depositors Will Bring Suit.

Peoples Home Savings Bank depositors to
push their claims and secure liquidation Will
file suit in the Superior Court within the next

Attorney Harry W. Hutton, who is one of
the sufferers by the collapse of the bank, will
take charge of the case.
THE suit must be fathered by one or more OF
the stockholders" said Mr.. Hutton yesterday.
This Is one of the legal requirements. But
there will be no difficulty about that, as we
could secure the cooperation OF dozen stock
holders II we so desired. However, one Will be
sufficient.

Read what the London Times thinks
of the financial situation in the United
States:
The symptoms are curiously like those Of Last
year. We need not apprehend such a serious
crisis, however, because business prices In the
United States are already 80 low that they can
not be much lower. Tho drain of gold 10 q re-
minder that the United States, in spite Of ita
vast potential resources, is a relatively poor
country, dependent for floating capital on the
older European countries.
The United States Is In the position Of push
ing manufacturer with a business continually
developing with money borrowed from his
bankers. Those who finance him ind It pru-
dent to keep watchful eye on any decline in
his prosperity and still moro on any signs Of his
entering upon rash courses.
The secret of the continued paralysis is the
uncertainty regarding the future Of silver and
the tariff. II is certain that the worst act that
congress is capable of passing, and 1t has con-
siderable capacity in that direction, could not
harm American industry 80 much as the state
of uncertainty that the country has been kept
In. The descent of the United States from its
high position Of o few years ago in commerce
and finance shows how sensitive plant Ia
commercial prosperity.

Some Spring Weather.

Flowery May certainly beat the rec-
ord this year. Early in the month in
many parts of the Union there were
great heat and droughts exactly at the
time when there should have been rain.
1t was SO warm that winter clothing be-
came unboarable, even by those who
had lived long enough to know the de-
ceptive character of hot weather in
May. Day after day there was no change
In the dry dullness. Then about the
middle of the month Chicago and Mil
waukee had their terrific lake storm,
1t was the worst since that melancholy
date when part of the Milwaukee water
crib was washed away and SO many
workmen lost their lives. In the May
lake storm this year 80 persons persisted
No sooner had the shipping interests
on the lakes begun to take heart again
than the fury Of the wind and rain be-
gan over New England and the middle
belt. Here 1t rained for days, while the
rest Of the country was smiling and
sunny. At the same time it was a very
cold rain, the thermometer ranging 10
degrees below the normal for the time
of the year.
Pennsylvania got the worst of it. Her
diversified surface, the great number Of
woodless mountain streams, make this
state peculiarly liable to foods. The
Johnstown disaster occurred May 81,
1889. Within few days Of that date,
five years after, came the next destructive
storm and food. From the coast to the
mountains Of the Keystone State the
storm extended. Never but once in the
history Of the signal service bureau was
there SO heavy q rainfall as occurred In
the region Of Philadelphia. Eight
inches Of rain fell. Every mountain
brook became raging torrent, swelling
the Allegheny, Juniata, Delaware, Sus-
quehanna, Schuylkill and other streams
till they overfowed their banks, carry
ing away bridges, houses and river craft.
The greatest financial loss was occa-
stoned by the breaking of the huge lum-
Der booms at Williamsport, on the Sus-
quehanna, and Lock Haven. on the West
branch, 25 miles away. At Williams
port the loss was $3, 600, 900. At the
Philadelphia suburb of Manayunk, on
the Schuylkill, the loss was estimated
at $500, 900. At unfortunate Johnstown
the Conemaugh river flooded cellars,
washed out railroad tracks and occa-
stoned losses of about $780, 900. The
losses of life are variously placed at
from 10 to 30 persons. In such disasters
the exact number Of people who perish
is hardly ever ascertained.

A writer reports that the japanese
have become 30 progressive and western
ized as to be ashamed of their narrow
oriental eyes, and they are besieging .
certain surgeon in Toxic in numbers to
get him to perform an operation on their
optical muscles SO they can look with
wide open lids and not with slanting
glances. The writer says that simple
cut and few stitches are all that are
necessary, when the Jap goes on his way
rejoicing. This story is fit to go along
with the fairy tale of the COW that gives
black milk.

missed From tho Force.
The Board If Police Commissioners,
last Monday investigated the charges
preferred against Officer Howard Feas-
Ter. Chief Dolan charged him with
neglect of duty in failing to meet Ser.
geant WEIGH and make his report as the
rules require. Feaster declared that he
was at the appointed place November
9th, and Welch was not there. The fol-
lowing day he admitted missing his re-
port but said he was home caring for
his wife who was i'll, He on that day
called up the police station and asked
to be excused on the ground that his
wife was sick. He made the 1875 report,
however.
Sergeant Welch testified that he
waited some time for Feaster, but he
did not show up ut the appointed time.
Several persons testified to the illness
of Mrs. Feaster
Thomas Jennings said he saw Feastcr
looming out the gate in the rear OF the
saloon at Fifth and Church streets. The
officer was in full uniform. This was a
d revelation to the commission. Under
the examination Of Commissioner Law
son, Feaster finally admitted that he
was in the saloon and said he drank a
| glass Of beer.
The board then hunted up the act Gre
ating the commission and turning to
section z, found this passage in relation
To officers drinking while on duty:
mo policeman shall while on duty
enter any drinking saloon or other
places where liquors are to be sold, to be
drunk on the premises, except in the
| discharge of their duties under penalty
of immediate dismissal"
There was nothing left for the board
to do but fire the officer, and Feastei
was dismissed from the force.
The board then took up the charge
against Officer Paul Ward, who wa!
charged with wlnging John Adams
with pistol ball while Adams was flee
ing. from arrest on the charge of wife
beating. Ward was mulcted in a fin,
OF one weeks pay, and will reimburs
Adams for the time he lost from hi

Cokesberry, two miles from Port
Deposit, in which Maggie Pitt was seri.
ously aud perhaps fatally injured.
1t seems the woman had been living
with Horace Cooper up to Il few months
ago, when she left him and went to live
with Perry Gibson, Upon several oc-
customs she had been threatened. Yes
terday morning he went to the house
and fired at her three times with u PTS
toll, all of which took effect. One ball
entered the back and came out the
abdomen, another entered the chest
below the heart and third took effect
in the thigh. Cooper then went to his
home, secured douDlc-barreled breech-
loading gun, and with a quantity of
shells paraded the road. Besides being
we'll armed he is very powerful man,
and no one would attempt 10 arrest him,
as he threatened any one who should
dare approach him.
Later in the day the constable and
town officer went to the scene, but he
had taken to the woods which lines the
country for miles around and they Were
unable to apprehend him. Up to u late
hour Monday he was still at large. The
woman's condition is critical.

the cnAMnEeED NAUTILUS.
oliver Mendell Holmes.

This is the ship OF pearl which poets feign,
Sails the unshadowed main;
The yenturesume bark that filings
On the sweet summer wind its purpled
In CULTS enchanted, where the siren sings
And coral reefs lie bare; 80.
Where the cold sea-maids rise to sun their
streaming hair.
Its web of living gauze no more unfurl;
Wrecked is the ship of pearl
And every chambered cell
Where its dim dreaming life was won't to
dwell
As the frail tenant shaped ,hist growing
shell
Before thee lies revealed,
Its irised ceiling rent, its sunless crypt
unsealed.
Year after year beheld the silent toll,
That spread his lustrous coil;
Still, as the spiral grew,
He left the last years dwelling for the new,
Stole with soft step its shining archway
through,
Built up its idle door,
Stretched in its last-tound nome and
knew the old no more.
Thanks for the heavenly message brought
BY thee,
Child of the wondering sea,
Cast from her lap, forlorn ..s
From thy dead lips u cleaner note is born
Than ever Triton-blew from wreathed
horn
While on my ear it rings.
Through the deep cares of thought hear
a voice that sings
Build thee more stately mansions, 0 my
soul,
As the swift seasons roll
Leave thy low-vaulted past
Let each new temple, nobler than the
last,
more vast,
Till thou at length art free,
Leaving thine outgrown shell by hfes
unTeasting sea
