GERMAN RAILWAY MUSEUM.

The London Trade Journal says:
"The managers of the Saxon state
railways are stated to be planning the
establishment of a railway museum,
which will be located in reserved
rooms of the general building at the
city of Dresden. A vast number OF
exhibits have already been collected,
particularly of models, printed mat
ter and drawings, which partly be-
long to the very earliest railway pc
Rod, and which for this reason win
probably claim the attention not on
ly of persons conversant with railway
affairs, but of the educated public
generally. When the opening of the
museum will take place is not settled
yet; it is only certain that in tn first
instance the close of the LEIPZIG In
dustrial Exhibition will be awaited,
because a great portion of the objects
to be put into the new museum are
at present on exhibition there"

American engineer has formed syn

ment of the work from the govern

carrying it on. He has obtained from
the government contract to last for
twenty years, with monopoly of the
electric lighting of Bangkok. The

so of which are held by American cit

Germans and by Siamese. 1t is
probable, however, that the capital
will be increased four or five times

converted into a limited company,

General Changes in San
Francisco and North Pa
cific Road.
Superintendent Corballey's Res.
ignation Accepted by the
Directors.
Dividend No 4, ef $3o, Was De.
c1ared-No Change in the Train
Service.

A change in management has been
| adopted for this year by the directors OF
| the San Francisco and North Pacific Rail-
road. The directors met last Wednesday
afternoon. At that time there was the
| first dull thud of the official ak and the
head of one of the most prominent officers
of the road rolled into the list of the un-
employed. Official titles were metamor-
phosed, being added to and sllbtracted
from, and more work was partialed out
among decreased number of officials. 1t
is understood among the employees of the
railroad that the policy of retrenchment
is to be pursued farther and they do not
know exactly where they are at.
1t is feared the guillotine will be run
along the main line and branches and
sidetracked to do some work at way sta
tions and division points.
Superintendent w. G. Corballey is the
man VINO presented his resignation to
General Manager III. G. Whiting, and
through him to President A. W. Foster. 1t
followed the usual red-tape methods and
got finally before the board of directors,
where it was acted upon.
W. G. Corballey has been with the road
so long that he has almost grown gray in
its service. His connection with the sys-
lem began as a peanut butcher. Next he
emerged into public view as brakema
his next promotion brought him a train,
and the honors of superintendent of the
whole system were finally bestowed upon
him, which position he has held number
OF years. There is said TO be not a man.
woman or child. cross-tie or fish-plate
from Tiburon to Ukiah that he does not
know.
| The other changes are as follows:
In addition TO his duties as president
President Foster was also made general
manager. II. G. Whiting resigned as gen.
eral manager and was appointed general
uperintendent. The office of superin-
tendent was abolished. Mr. Whiting s
headquarters will be at San Rafael or
Tiburon. f. K. Zook, chief engineer, has
been appointed assistant superintendent
in addition to his duties as civil engineer.
At the meeting the directors also de-
olared dividend of 80 cents per share, or
$4,000.
The official changes will not in the least
affect the operation of the road. President
Foster said, in fact. that it is the aim of
the company to improve the service. No
action was taken in regard to a reduction
in the price of Communication tickets.

the Southern Pacific.
Delmas & Shortridge yesterday insti
tuted an action at law on behalf of Mrs.
Mary e. Hagarty and Mary Margare;
Hagarty, minor, against the Southern
Pacific Company for $4,000 damages.
Mrs. Hagarty is the widow and Mary Mar
garet is the daughter of Henry Hagarty
who was killed by an accident on the rail
road near Palo Alto on the 9th of last Oc-
tober
The complaint sets forth that on the
date mentioned Henry Hagarty was en-
pioyed by the company as a locomotive
engineer on an engine attached to freight
train, and when the train was near the
station of Palo Alto, by reason of the
negligence and defective manner in
which the track, sidings, switches and
ways of said railroad were constructed, !"
and by reason OF the negligence of the de-
fendant, the engine was wrecked and
Hagarty was, without fault on his part, Sc
injured that he died.
At the time of his death Mr.. Hagarty
was SO years of age and in the enjoyment
of perfect health. He was railroad en-
gineer by occupation, and his services
were then, and for a long time prior
thereto, had been worth and he had been
actually receiving S125 month.

ing Bulls.
How Scientists Stretched Forth HUI
mane Hands to Save Young Seals
From Death.

President David Starr Jordan of STAN
ford University delivered an interesting
illustrated lecture al Golden Gate Hall
last night on 1.-THE Fur Seal, or Sea Bear
of Alaska"
Before touching on the subject of seals
the speaker dwelt at some length on the
extent of Alaska and its picturesque won
ders. He showed views of sublime Mount
st. Elias, towering 10000 feet above the
Arctic Ocean, described the marvellous
volcanoes and volcanic islands of the far
north, and told of the wonderful rookeries
infested by thousands of seals. The talk
was interesting and informal throughout,
and the audience greatly enjoyed the photo
opticon views, which were unusually good.
The speaker gave lucid account of the
expedition of Gerassim Pribilof and in
cluded brief history of the fur-seal
islands, which were bought from Russia
in 1868 and leased to the Alaska Com mer-
cial Company in 1870. He showed how
there has been great decline of the herds,
owing 10 an indiscrimiuate killing.
One of the interesting fsatures OF the
lecture was the educators account of how
he and other scientific explorers went to
great pains to arrange many of the rook-
cries so that the young pups will not be
killed during the fights of the bulls during
the coming season.
During the fighting season among the
bulls" said the speaker, "they trample
thousands of pups to death. On one bat
tlefield alone we counted Ia, 900 dead pups
that had been tramped upon by the an
gered bulls in their deadly combats. We
threw hundreds of big stones over the
rookery SO that the pups will be protected
hereafter
In conclusion the lecturer said he hoped
for an amicable and honorable settlement
at an early date of the many vexatious
questions that have arisen between Great
Britain and this country on the seal ques-
ton

Benevolent Society and Election
of Officers.

quarterly meeting to consider the advisa-
bility OF erecting a new hospital had come

necessary to erect new building. 1t was
recommended that the building fund,
which during the past year had increased
to nearly $40, 600, should be used as a nu-
cleus for the new building and to he added
to every year till the necessity for new
building arose. The recommendation was
adopted.
The cash on hand amounted to $15.-
176 Al, gain over last year of $9846 81.

and $500 from Leslie E. Morgan. The So
ciety had assisted 2700 people with money,
meals end lodging at an expenditure of
$9037 IS. Besides twenty persons had re-
ceiyed free treatment at the hospital at
the society's expense. Work had been
procured for Ala men aud boys and
seventy-nine women and girls. The total
mem bership was now 1882, a gain over
last year of la.
The following officers were elected !:
President, b. Broemmel; first vice-pres
dent, Charles E. Hansen; second vice

right to consider the petition inasmuch as
the law does not grant the court jurisdic-
ton over such organizations.
Deputy City and County Attorney Bro
beck represented the Police Commission
ers and argued in favor of the position
assumed by the demurrer.
Counselor Clarke made no direct reply in
regard to the question of jurisdiction, but
INDUCED in an Grafton touching the acts
of the Commissioners in paying out money
to ]. F. Moran and others. In this he
ignored the claim of the Commissioners
that the money paid to Moran was for the
purpose of defending the suits instituted
against the fund by Mr.. Clarke himself.
Judge Slack said it was clear that the
court had no jurisdiction of such case,
and as it would be impossible to amend
the petition in a manner to bring it
within the provisions of the law the pro-
ceedings were ordered dismissed.
