went back to the end of the train
to see that the tramps, who had

of them under the last coach. He
went round to the other side to
get under easier. Just as he

that" With this he pulled the
trigger and Blackwell fell mortal

SAL E. NJ
EDWARD JETER, REPORTER.

News was brought here Saturday that
n company had been formed at Carvin's
Cove for the purpose of mining gold and
silver and that operations would begin
Monday, the 2Sth instant. The mining of
gold is a very lucrative business, but
the mining of silver, even if formed in
large quantities in Carvin's Cove, will
never make the cove city, with silver
drug on the market and like all other
commodities continually going down.
Silver as Il money metal received it's
death at the hands of a cowardy Con-
gress and Senate in 1878, assisted by gold
from the vaults of the Bank of England.
Until it is remonetized the money of the
people Will construct more and more the
'crown of thornsn will tighten around
the brow of labor and mankind will con.
tinue to he ''crucified upon cross OF
gold.''
People who live in Salem would deem
it IL favor if the Roanoke Street Railway
Company would reduce their fare on July
3rd (circus day. between Salem and Roa-
noke. The dear people," especially Sa-
lem people, don't mind being imposed on
36i days in the year by having to pay 80
cents round trip fare, but on circus day
they would like to borrow 10 or - cents
from the street car company for red
lemonade, etc. We would mildly suggest
n twenty cent round trip fare ,on that day
for the benefit of good people>at this end
of the line, who would like to see the an
imals.

MT. WILSON RAILROAD
Proceedings in Foreclosure Still Oc
cupying Judge Van DYKE

The Foreclosure suit of the Los Arge-
les Safe Deposit and Trust company
against the Pasadena ard Mount Will
son Railway company again occupied
the attention of Judge Van Dyke YES
ter0ay. The proceedings were of a
technlcal and routine character merely.
1t is generally understood that the.
creditors of the road, with one excep-
ton, have Joined with the bondholders ir,
arriving at an understanding. If the
road can be bought In al foreclosure sale
then they undertake to at once convey
1t to the new company that will be or
ganized and capitalized at $3.50. 900 OF
this amount $500, ,000-in bonds of the
new corporation-will be used, to nav off
the Old boncholders while 100000 will
De used TO settle with the creditors on
the basis of fifty cents on, the dollar.
The remaining $4,000 will be utilized in
making miscellaneous improvements on
the company's properties, which are
much needed.
There is said to be only one hitch in
this program. A short time ago the Off
GERS of the Pasadena and Mount Wilson
road confessed to a judgment for S273.
1884 in favor of NJ. Brownback. and
he then came into the present suit as isl.-
tervenor. 1t is reported that he-while
not actually adverse to the proposed,
plan of reorganization, has not ac-
guessed in the arrangement, aud it is
assumed that he is holding off for bet
ter terms. 1t is also understood. either
rightly or wrongly, that Mr. Brownback
is merely the ffgurehead representr,y
actually the holding of Prof Lowe.

The Supreme Court

The case of Theodore Durrant, who
will, if the plans Of his counsel do not
miscarry die of old age rather than :
convicted murderer on the gallows
was up before the supreme court yester-
day. No argument was made and it was
continued over to the Sacramento term
which will begin a few days after the
United States supreme court has had
opportunity to pass upon the appeal be-
fore it in the same case.
Ray p. Stafford, H. 7. Mathews and
j. b. Barrett were. on motion admitted
to practice yesterday.
The case of the city of Los Angeles
against Pomeroy and Hooker was ar
sued and submitted. The transcript or
appeal makes bulky volume, as thick
as the city directory, and is illustrated
with maps, showing the tract of the

Chapman ard Senator Stephen NJ White
appeared for the defendants, and a very
able presentation of the case was made
