era. In 1894 only seven companies have
reported as having built any freight
cars. the output being 17,029 cars. In
1893, 51,2l6 freight cars were built by
forty.three companies. There were
fifteen important building companies
which did not turn out a single car in
1894, ten Of these having built about
5000 freight cars and over 300 passenger
cars in 1893. Five companies built NO
cars in either of the last two years, but
three companies built 3ySl8 cars in 1890,
and 1880 in 1891. Three other COM

COULD NOT ATTACH THEM.
DepOSitOrS Must ALI Have an Equal
Opportunity.
WritS Levied on the Assets Of the Pa.
ci6e Bank Declared Inconsistent
With the Statutes.

The Supreme Court has decided the at
tachment suits brought by II. II. Crane,
T. Y. Gator and others against the Pacific
Bank in August, 1893, by affirming the de-
cision of the lower court, which dissolved
the attachments.
These attachments were levied upon the
assets of the bank, and were obtained by
some of the depositors TO secure to them
the payment of their deposits The at
taehments were dissolved as soon as the
case came to trial, however, and from that
Judgment the depositors appealed. Quite
an extended opinion is fled by the Su-
preme Court Commissioners who heard
the case.
1t is not in conformity with the intent
OF the California statutes, the opinion
states, to allow few creditors, more favor
ably situated than others, to rush in and
secure to themselves the assets of bank,
keeping ont at the same time numerous
other creditors, with just as meritorious
claims, who, by reason of being more incon-
veniently situated and having fewer
chances to hear OF the impending collapse
OF the corporation, had not filed their
claims nor secured attachments as the
more favored creditors had done. The
commencing of insolvency proceedings,
the opinion continues, is not mere signal
for those creditors who can to rush in and
secure to themselves everything in sight;
the law expects all creditors to meet and
TO decide upon some course of action by
which all may be equally benefited.
The contention was made that the right
OF attachment is a statutory right, to be
exercised under any circumstances, but in
the Bank Commissioners act there is a
clause which repeats all laws so far as they
are inconsistent with its own provisions.
The writ of attachment was the right of all
depositors before the doors of the bank
were closed, yet as soon as the bank be-
came lnsolvent all creditors had equal
rights To allow favored few to attach
the assets to the detriment of the many
the court holds to be inconsistent with the
statute, and the order dissolving the attach
ments is affirmed.

doris and extending 200 feet on Point Lobos
avenue, and running back 900 feet on Fifth
and Sixth avenues.
The administration building fronts on
the avenue. On the right of the entrance,
on the first floor, are the offices of the
superintendent and the resident physician,
and on the left are the reception-rooms,
drugstore and laboratory. There are also
consulting and dining rooms and library
on this floor. The officers rooms are on
the second floor of the administration
building.
From the administration building pa
vilions extend 600 feet on Fifth and Sixth
avenues, each being separated by an annex,
while corridors of communication are so
arranged that patient can be wheeled to
any part of the building without meeting
with the slightest elevation. These corri-
doris, which are ten feet wide, give excel
lent facilities for interior service, espe-
cially for the kitchen and sickrooms.
Another corridor of the same width leads
from the kitchen to the bath pavilion,
forming a true vitreous gallery which will
constitute covered promenade for the pa
tients in damp weather. 1t is $50 feet long.
There are three separate liying-rooms in
the kitchen pavilion which has been fitted
up in the most approved manner.
The operating pavilion contains two
operating rooms, a room for the admins
tration of anesthetics, a recovery room
and room for the doctors with an adioin-
ing cabinet. Another pavilion is contem-
plated on the southern side OF the oper-
ating pavilion, also for surgical purposes.
The bath pavilion is at the end of the
gallery leading from the kitchen. There
may be had medicated, sulphur, steam and
salt water baths, the water coming direct
from the ocean. Rooms have been pro-
vided for massage and rest. Over the
baths two wards have been set apart for
invalids.
On the second floor of the different pa
vilions are the general wards, each one
holding twenty-five beds, besides two
private rooms, an isolating-room, clothes
room, nurseroom, tea kitchen, etc.
The power-house and steam pavilion is
near the southern well, where is also found
an artesian well, lis feet deep, with
capacity of 5000 gallons an hour. On top
of the power-house are four reservoirs,
holding Al, 900 gallons of water.
The buildings will cost 500, 900.

THE ANGLERS LUCK.

Result of Casts Made at Point Reyes
and ShellvilIe.
The largest crowd of anglers ever seen at
Point Reyes lined the banks of Paper-mi
Greek last Sunday.
One gentleman counted ninety-four rods
between that point on the stream where
the railroad bridge spans the creek and
what is known as the White House. The
distance between these points is about
mile. The sport certainly did not warrant
any such an influx of midwinter anglers,
as only four fish were caught, and the
lucky disciples were Louis Butler Frank
Dolliver, e. Cross and a young Spaniard
who had never seen Point Reyes before.
The general belief is that the steelheads
arrived and left again with the floods,
leaving only some stragglers behind that
were late in reporting on duty. Those
noted disciples who fished and caught
nothing were: T. Marcus, Professor
Terry, 4. Batteu, A. Smith. r. Mcmillan,

Supervisors in the matter of appointing
a mortgage clerk for the Hall of Records.
Glynn appointed James Maloney to the
place, but on Monday the Board of Super
visors declared the place vacant and APP
pointed T. McGregor to fill the position.
Yesterday morning Recorder Glynn and
James Maloney visited the chambers of
the Supervisors trying to have the action
of the board set aside. Glynn claims that
he has the appointing power, and even if
the board did not confirm his appointee it
had no legal right to make any appoint
ment. He said he had the same fight with
the last Board of Supervisors, and pro-
duced an opinion from City and County
Attorney Creswell, which held that the
power to appoint mortgage clerk resided
with the County Recorder. On the
strength of this opinion the last board
allowed Glynn to appoint his own man.

More Trouble Among the Big
TranScOntinentalS.
UNION PACIFIC MUDDLING.
Leaves Matters in Worse Condition
Even Than Before.
WILL NOT OPEN THE SHORT LINE.
The Rock Upon Which the Association
Split Stands Yet in the Way
Of Harmony.

CHICAGO, Feb. 5.-Western passenger af-
fairs have gone to the bad all at once and
are now in worse muddle than they have
been at any time during the past six
weeks. The Union Pacific is the cause of
the difficulty, and to say that the repre-
sentatives of the other lines are weary of
the manner in which that line acts is put
ting it very mildly. To begin with, Gen
eral Passenger Agent Lomax of the Union
Pacific announced to-day that his line did
not intend to open up the Oregon Short
Line, as was announced on Saturday. 1t
was first claimed that the resolution offered
in the meeting by Mr.. Lomax opening up
the Oregon Short Line was misunderstood
by all the other lines, and in reality the
Union Pacific had no intention of opening
up the line. The other lines intimated
very positively that they had not misun-
derstood the resolution, and the Union
Pacific then claimed that it had been en-
trapped and that in any event it would not
open up the Oregon Short Line. This an
nouncement sent matters back with jerk
to the original position, the boycott against
the Union Pacific by the Rock Island and
Burlington was again declared in force and
matters were worse than at the beginning,
for everybody was full of wrath, and signs
of an agreement were far less numerous
than symptoms of fight
The Union Pacific then demanded the
insertion of a rule in the rate sheet giving
the impression that rates from Missouri
River points to San Francisco and other
California points were applicable only over
its line. This was virtually asking the
other transcontinental lines to admit that
the Union Pacific was the only road be-
tween the Missouri River and California.
The other lines lost no time in refusing
this proposition, and there the matter rests
for the present, but the situation has been
further complicated by the announcement
of the Missouri Pacific that it will not be-
come member of the Western Trunk
Committee until the Union Pacific has
Joined it.

giving each locality several complete suits
of under and outer clothing for adults and
children of both sexes.
As the Government makes no provision
toward supplying shipwrecked people with
clothing, of which they often stand in need,
the relief association laboring for this OBJ
ject is highly commendable institution,
relieving alike the unfortunate persons
rescued, and also the crews of the life-sav-
ing stations, who are often driven to share
their own apparel with the shipwrecked.
The association is conducted by charit-
able ladies, who have worked industri-
ously for years supplying the stations along
the seaboards of the United States. They
receive no remuneration for their services
other than the gratitude of the many
they have helped in this manner.
