sincere in their belief that the railroad
company has inflicted upon the people
grevious wrongs, for which it should
be punished. However, to only few
Of these several grades of railroad enc
mics does Mr.. Huntington's statement
refer. He does not hesitate, however,
to say that some of the class who think
they have a grievance had for years
been given, not paid, money for some
purposes other than for doing what was
necessary to benefit the roads. Some
few of the daily press, he adds, and he
thanks God that they are few, had been
receiving subsidies not to say or do
anything to injure certain personal in
terests. Others had been receiving
money for a number of years and giving
no return, and these he struck from the
payroll, and that constituted their
grievance.
1t is always well to understand the
relations of witness or assailant to the
thing or interest assaulted, in order to
judge of the animus that actuates, and
hence the reference of Mr.. Huntington
becomes very important in probing the
motives Of many Of the people who as
sault the railroads. One of the chief
of the enemies is Sutro, who is remem-
bered in Washington as a peddler of
Sutro tunnel stock, which he also sold
in Paris and London, where, Mr. Hunt
ington naively remarks, they would
very much like to see him. 1t is then
related that some three years ago Sutro
desired the railroad people to extend a
street line to his attractions" at the
beach, his hotel, baths, gardens, games,
etc., to say nothing Of his monstrous
caricatures upon art displayed at that
point. Pe wanted that line built some
seven or eight miles in length, to be
operated for fye-cent fare. If the
Market-street Railway Company would
not do this, he threatened to spend
the money necessary to defeat any
propositions the Central Pacific Com
pany might promote at Washington.
Sutro was told that the road would
be built some time, in probability, but
Sutro demanded that it be built 'at
once" and that if it was not done he
would open fight. This he has done
and that is Sutro's grievance.
The witness adds that nearly all the
people fighting the company are doing
called a mass meeting, which fell fiat.
No merchants or commercial people at
tended it; men of affairs were conspic-
uous by their absence, and the wage
earners mechanics and honest toilers
were not there. These and similar
truths are so well known to readers of
current news in California that it is
useless to indulge in further reference
to them.

shall cease, but the peddling of them by
outcry ought to be put a stop to. In
these columns such law has been
asked for years by the people of the
city.
In another matter the indications
point to an attempt to take a step back
ward. The proposition is before the
Trustees to farm out the office of Pound
keeper and to abandon the scalp pre-
MUM. Two years ago the Humane So
ciety was asked to take friendly super
vision of the public pound. 1t did so,
and the result has been that a thor
oughly efficient Poundkeeper has been
secured. The pound, before a bowling
disgrace and a public nuisance, is now
neat, clean, well and humanely admin
istered, and everyone of the old COM
paints about it has ceased. In fact, for
the first time in twenty years the pound
is decently kept and the animals inn
pounded killed with the least possible
cruelty, and the greatest possible dis
patch.
1t is now proposed to cut off the scalp
premiums and reduce the pound keep
ing to the salary basis, a payment SO
low that it cannot be maintained de-
Gently and the Office Of Poundkeeper
be exercised as it should be- Some two
thousand dogs alone have been killed
within the last year. This army of
NANCY ours and it's increase would be
running in the streets to-day if a beg
carly salary only had been the incentive
for duty doing.
On what it is proposed to pay to keep
down the dog nuisance, grounds can
not be rented, food supplied to the ami
mails, and employees carts and horses
had. Before this pound reform is
rushed into, we beg the committee hav-
ing it in charge to look at the other side
of the question, and to consult the HUI
name Society that has worked the re-
form that has been accomplished.

Mr.. Jacob H. Lashorn, who has
been employed by the B. &. o. r. r.
as brakeman for several years, met a
sad death at Dufffelds Wednesday
evening last. Mr.. Lashorn, who
lives near Kearneysville, had gone to
Dufields to get medicine for his wife
and child, who had been very sick
for several days. After securing the
medicine he went to the station and
attempted to board west bound
freight, No. SO, missed his footing
and fell beneath the wheels, the en-
tire train passing over him. His
body was horribly mingled. Not
withstanding the terribly mutilated
condition of the body, he lived I'M
consciously about fifteen minutes.
MI. Lashorn was about 81 years of
age, and leaves a widow and two
children to mourn his sad demise.
Coroner Eichleberger, of Uvilla,
viewed the body and deemed an in
quest unnecessary, IS there were
several witnesses to the accident.

his father, Mr.. Samuel Morningstar,
was a courier with Gen. Jackson
when the latter was shot, and that
the general gave DR.. Mcclure one of
his stirrups and his father the other,
and the doctor afterwards gave the
other one to his father. The saddle

and Mr.. Morningstar prizes them
very highly.
