RIVERSIDE, Feb. 27.-There is q mis-
understanding as to how the franchise
lately applied for by the railroad COM
panies now stands as to the city trus-
tees. 1t was understood when Mr..
Muir for the Southern Pacific pre-
sented q petition for franchise rum
| ming north of and parallel to the motor
line over First street, swinging around
onto Market street, tl-at he withdrew
the other two petitions, the one for so
years and the other for % months, over
the present motor line. This is not
the case, though. Mr.. Muir verbally
promised that if the last franchise
asked for WAS granted his company
would relinquish all rights on First
street, which doubtless would be the
case. But as matters now stand, the
ordinance for the frat franchise asked
for 80 years over the motor line, was
passed to a second reading, and was
then laid on the table until the next
meeting of the trustees. The 23
months ordinance was passed to Sec
ond reading, and the petition for the
new line north along First street, un-
accompanied by a franchise, was placed
on file. The petition of the Santa Fe
people for franchise over the streets
now occupied by the motor road, unac-
companied by an ordinance, was also
placed on file. So the four PROPOSE
tions are all subject to action by the
| trustees.

day from Darlington, Mo-, on their

A motion was made in the superior
court this morning by w. J. McIntyre,
the attorney for the plaintiff, Tewks-
bury, We. the Good Hope Mining COM
pany, asking that the order appointing
q receiver for the Good Hope mine be
vacated. Judge Grove, for the defend
ant, consented, and q telegram was
sent for A. II. Naftzger at Los Angeles
to come up. The effect of this is that
the property will be turned over to the
Good Hope Mining company, and the
receiver will be discharged. Judge
Noyes would not grant the order until
Mr.. Naftzger was In court, that he
might be instructed what to do in the
premises.

and recitations was rendered, after
which suitable refreshments, abund-
antly supplied by the invading host,

the pastor and his family, who very
much appreciated this token of good
will and kindness on the part Of his
people.
