Scenes and Incidents of the Final
Parting

The scenes and incidents at River sta

were at least 10000 people there. They oc-
cupied every bit of ground on or near the
place. They stopped traffic, human and
commercial, and stood in passageways and
everywhere else where they could get a
foothold.
They were on the veranda of the station
building, on its roof, inside and outside of
it. They were in the cars reserved pre-
sumably for the soldiers, on the steps of
those cars and on top of them. The vast

CITY JAIL PRISONERS TO HAVE
A SPECIAL DINNER
Seamore's Concealed Weapons Gets
Him in Jail-Childrens' Contribu-

Day Jailer John Collins has arranged a
special Christmas feed for the inmates Of
the city prison, and the menu is very invit-
ing There will be roast beef and pork, veg
etables OF various sorts, mince pie, jelly
cake, cookies, crullers, celery, Mocha and
Java coffee, pickles and cheese. Cigars and
cigarettes will be the windup.
There is one man who will not enjoy the
Christmas dinner very much, for it means
that he will have to pass twenty-nine addi-
tional days in the Jail. This is James f.
Seamore, He was formerly barkeeper in
Sacramento, but finding business bad, he
came to this place in search Of employment.
The police officers saw him frequently in
the company of gamblers and other disrep-
utable persons, and arrested him on sus-
picion. When searched a revolver was
found on Seamore, so a charge of carrying
concealed weapons was filed against him.
Seamore explained to Police Judge Owens
yesterday the circumstances of his being in
Los Angeles, and said that while he had
never intended to use the revolver he had
carried it. The court was evidently not in
a Christmas humor, for he gave Seamore $50

Captain Payson, acting for the Atchison,
Topeka and Santa Fe railroad secured an
option, through Thomas Magec, several
weeks ago. The property is wanted for the
Santa Fe for the purpose of freight termi-
nal, and the final consummation Of the deal
yesterday secures to the new competing rail-
road corporation what is believed to be the
most advantageous site for a freight ferry
the bay. The consideration is not men,
toned in the deed, but the amount paid for
the property is said to be in the neghbor-
hood of 100000.
Now that the Santa Fe has acquired the
title TO the property, Engineer Storey OF
the Valley road will shortly give his at
tention to the matter of devising plan
for the utilization of the ground to the best
advantage. The plan of the Santa Fe
at the present time is to transfer its loaded
freight cars between Point Richmond and
it's Spear-street yards on barges hauled by
tugs. Wharves will have to be built for
this purpose, and as soon as Engineer Storey
and the Valley road directors determine
what is needed in that direction they will
submit a plan to the harbor commissioners
and ask that the improvements be made
without delay. The company will endeav-
or to have it's freight terminal ready for use
by the first of July. The tracKage arrange
ment which is to permit the Santa Fe to use
the line of the Southern Pacific between
Mojave and Bakersfield will go into effect on
that date, and it is believed that on the
same day the Santa Fe will begin the opera
ton of the Valley road by running through
trains to San Francisco.

BETRAYED HIS BROTHER
And Eloped With His Young Sister
in-LaW

An injured husband Charles r. Chapman,
visited Pasadena yesterday morning, accom-
panied by his lawyer, j. Noonan Phillips.
Mr.. Chapman's mission was if possible to
find his missing wife, who had left his bed
and board in company with his half brother,
C.. H. Davis.
Some suspicion OF the husbands arrival
must have reached the guilty couple, as the
birds had flown when Chapman reached the
rooming house at l5S East Colorado street
where Mrs. Chapman with her paramour
had taken lodgings. Some few belongings
had been left behind in the hurried flight
Among these was a bundle OF love letters
which had passed between Davis and Mrs
Chapman previous to their eopement Mrs
Bean the landiady, refused to deliver these
to the young husband, whereupon he applied
to Judge Rossiter, who issued the necessary
writ. Chapman took possession of the
letters and belongings, bringing them to Los
Angeles with him.
What makes the affair more strange is
the age of the people concerned. Davis is
nearly 4j, his wronged half brother 23 and
the foolish wife not yet 20. Chapman has
determined not to forgive his spouse, and
will take immediate steps toward securing
n divorce.

Yesterday. Capt. Braun distributed two

which was also given a generous supply OF
oranges. The latter, thirty-seven sacks IN
all, were donated to the army by DR.. and

here in the city through the generosity OF
the Santa Fe company. Many persons called
at the shelter and at the Spring street mis-
sion all day and all went away bountifully
supplied for a Christmas feas. and many
pathetic incidents occurred during the CIV
ing and receiving. Several days ago an old
lady called and asked that she, might be
supplied with few necessaries for the one
day of all the year when everybody should
be well fed and happy, and she was prom
ised that her Christmas dinner should be
good one. Her address was taken and the
resolution made by the captain that the
poor old soul should have a happy sur
prise The address was lost, but the old
lady was not forgotten by motherly Mrs
Dunham, for a box was neatly packed for
her, the contents consisting of a chicken,
bread, vegetables, sugar, butter and some
oranges, and then Ensign Bulge was dis
patched to find her As luck sometimes will
have it, he found what he was looking for.
He ran against the old lady on the street
inside OF five minutes and she was informed
OF the box waiting for her. She immediate
ly bent her steps to the shelter and when the
captains wife gave her her portion of the
Christmas cheer she broke down and cried
for joy.
Great preparations are being made for the
