PASADENA

PASADENA, May 19.-(Regular Corre-
spondence.) Electric railway matters are
still much talked about, but it is princi-
pally in the way of rumors, some of which
have not much foundation. 1t is said that
a certain supreme court decision has been
found which has bearing upon the case
in hand to the effect that in a certain city
where a monopoly was given. an attempt
was afterwards made to take 1t away, and
the court held that the bonds of the COM
pany having been sold on the strength of
the benefits to the company by reason of
its exclusive rights the bondhoders must
be protected and the monopoly could not
be taken away without their consent.
This would seem to be very queer law,
and 1t is very probable that no such de-
cision can be found. 1t is even stated that
the electric company is considering ser
ously the advisabiliiy of Withdrawing
second time the offer made to the city for
lighting the streets in reutrn for monop-
oily of the street car privileges. 1t is said
that some change is in the air, but just
what it is is not so easy to determine.
THE REGULAR RUNAWAY
The usual runaway accidents occurred
both yesterday and today, that of last
evening being the most serious of the two.
Mrs. w. S. Derby was driving on South
Fair Oaks avenue, near Glendale street,
about o'clock, when her horse became
frightened at a passing electric car. With
her in the carriage were her mother, Mrs.
Sperry. and her two children. The horse
upset the vehicle, throwing them all out,
and severely bruising Mrs. Sperry while
the little girl, Marjory had her leg broken
just below the knee. The others escaped
with trf1ing injuries. The horse was badly
cut and the carriage considerably dam
aged. The little girl was taken into the
residence of Thomas Banbury, near by,
and later removed to her home. where the

more damage. AS it was, the team man.

ON South De Lacy street broke loose from
its moorings in Mills alley, near the post
office, and dashed out to the north on to
West Colorado street where the momen-
tum gained by the heavy dray to which
the horses were attached prevented them
from turning the corner, and consequent
ly they went straight ahead, headed for
the big window of the board of trade
rooms, which they narrowly escaped en-
tering rather hastily. The tongue of the
wagon crashed into the glass, shattering
it into hundred pieces. but the horses
were not hurt, though they were thrown
down on the sidewalk. AS they came
through the alley they colided with the
wagon of the Anchor dairy and made a
wreck of it, though no one was hurt.

creditabe display of the work done in

collection of articles made at the school

work, clay modelling, fret work, cabinet
work and many other interesting and use
ful branches of work, all of which is
very creditable to the students and shows
the practical character of the school.
which, while it places the academcal de-
partment first, yet gives much attention
TO the training of the hand and eve and
the education Of the perceptive faculties
leading to the various trades and useful
occupations. The exhibit is worthy OF an
extended visit as showing what this in
etitution is doing.
MAIL ROBBERIES
1t is now pretty conclusively shown that I
instead of the mail boxes of Pasadena be-
offered for payment by a stranger a few
days ago, the checks were obtained in Los |
Angeles, and there is evidence to show |
that there were others implicated in the I
robbery.
Or the two checks mailed to Los An
geles firms by Mr. Ely, the one for s1O6 !
was received by Mr.. Clement. to whom it .
was addressed, by the last delivery Mon |
Gay. The other check fell into the swim
dler's hands and was presented for pay
ment at the San Gabriel Valley bank here
but another endorsement being required
the forger withdrew and did not return.
1t Is now known that all three checks. to-
wit: the Weston & Herlihy and the two
Ely checks, went into Los Angeles by the
noon mail They were received AT the
main office there and sent to a sub-sta
t1on. Here is where the work came in bv
which they We're obtained and some inter-
esting points will come out soon.
