been astemptsd towards carrying out
this idss. OF late, however, the matter
has eaker more tangible shape and it ia
highly probable that q big hotel will be-

A perty Of eastern capitalists Hna are
interested in the Hshsme ware on: from
Los Angeles today. aud drove up to
Altadsna to ipapost the aite OF the pro-
poEed hotel. which 10 near the terminus
OF the Terminal railroad, afford
ing ample and eGsy access to
Pasadena and Los Angeles. The con-
templsted construction OF the electric
road up Lake avenue will add another
feature to the location. II the gentle
men who have the scheme in hand at
present fully decide to take bold OF tho
project, there will be no lack OF funds,
and the hotel will be made to equal
anything in the south.
A high.class hotel at Altadena Ia sure
to come. 1t Is only q matter OF time,
and a short time at that. The interest
taken in the present project revives the
Monk hill or Washington heights scheme
for placing mammoth hotel on that
commanding knoll.
MAN RUN OVER.
An old gentleman by the name OF
Hall was knocked down and run over on
South Raymond avenue this morning,
by a team belonging to William Stan
ton. Mr.. Hall WAS crossing the street
at the time, and in getting out Of the
way OF one vehicle ran in front Of the
Stanton carriage and was knocked
down. In falling, his head struck the
pavement, cutting his scalp quite
severely. He was at once taken into
Pirtle's drug store and the wound
dressed. Fortunately the skull was not
fractured, and no serious results are an~
ticipated.
SOME NEEDED IMPROVEMENTS.
At tie last meeting Of the city coun-
Gil Street Superintendent Buchanan re-
ported upon several street improve
ments which are much needed for the
benefit OF the city, generally, and it is
to be hoped the council will take prompt
action in the case.
Among other improvements urged was
the extension of Iona etreet, be-
tween Lincoln and Pasadena avenues.
north of Orange Grove. For distance
OF three blocks here there are no cross
streets and no way of getting off from
Cypress or Mercer streets except by
Orange Grove avenue. Another WAS the
extension of Iona street between Madi-
son avenue and Moline, there being no
cross streets from Colorado to California
street, a distance of @ mile. 1t is GER
tainly disgrace that such a condition
of affairs should be allowed to exist.
Another needed extension is that of
De Lacey street between Kansas and
Day ton, where the city has already ex-
pended 5000 with no results as vet.
Villa street should be continued between
Vernon and Lincoln, where q bad con-
dition of affairs exists. In all the cases
mentioned neigh boring property would
be much benefited and there should be
no difficulty in securing the necessary
land without recourse to the courts.
THE ELECTRIC RAILWAY.
The Pasadena and Los Angeles Elec
trio road is becoming very much OF a
fact. and from present appearances the
citizens of this city will be racing in and
out OF the Angel city without the aid
of steam in very few weeks.
The difficulty with the South Pasa-
dena franchise has been patched up,
and tho road has a better route than the
one at first contemplated through Lin
coin park.
In this city work is progressing rapid
". All the poles are up and new rails
in place around the loop formed by
aymond, Chestnut, Fair Oaks and
Belleview, also down Fair Oaks to the
city limits. The new power house near
the Raymond hotel ia nearing complies
ton, and several carloads OF machinery
have arrived from, the east and ia now
being put in position.
General Manager Clark was here from
Los Angeles today looking over the plant
and inspecting the new work. The
company claims that the service be-
tween Pasadena and Los Angeles will
be frstolass, and that quick time will
be made. especially ON cars which will
be run through at intervals without
stops. The new cars which will be put
on this line are OF the latest constr d ction
and are built for speed.
SERIOUS ACCIDENT.
Quite serious accident occurred al
the Santa Fe station last evening. Mrs.
Armstrong, of Lamenda Park, who hae
been visiting friends in the city, was
about to take the 6 O'Clock train for
homo when she stepped on a loose
board on the platform and was thrown
down. At frat it was supposed that she
had simply rprained her hip. A later
examination however, proved that the
limb WAS broken. She WAC at once
placed on the train and taken on to her
home at Lamande Park. Mrs. Arm
strong ia in her Goth year and the acct
dent ia very serious affair.
