the Texas Pacific, arrived in the city
yesterday from San Francisco.
"MITIR is MELLOW"

The above is the heading with which
the San Pedro American of Thursday
caps an interview with the astute and
amiable superintendent of the Southern
Pacific company at this place. Mr.. Muir
| in the talk makes some very eXtraordin-
airy statements, which bespeak for the
reporter who took them down either re-
| markable accuracy or a more wonderful
| Imagination.
| In the course of the talk Mr. Muir is
reported as saying: II may state to you
| that it is no longer d secret in railway
circles that the Terminal railway has
been sold to the Vanderbilts, and the
Salt Lake road is an assured fact within
the next twelve months. You are prob
ably aware that the Santa Fe is now
building this (San Pedro) way and is
already within four miles of Compton.
1 believe that it will become necessity
to remove our car and repair shops from
Los Angeles to San Pedro Immediately
after work on the outer harbor is COM
menced."
| This was shown to Mr.. Gibbon, vice
president of the Terminal railway, who
denied most positively that his road had
been sold to anyone, or that negOtia-
tions had even been commenced with
| the Vanderbilts.
Mr.. Muir, in his interview, then de-
scribes all that the Southern Pacific in
tends to do for San Pedro, and even as
serts that Mr. Huntington, "who has
great influence in the house and not a
little in the senate, will endeavor to
double the appropriation of this year.
Our main effort will be made toward the
development of the inner harbor."
Oh Uncle Coils! Isn't it nice in San
Pedro? With Mr.. Huntington getting
into a perspiration from his efforts to
help the San Pedro harbor project, and
Mr.. Muir aiding the Salt Lake road to
hurry along so as to share business, and

NOTES

S. A. Perry has been appointed divi-
sion superintendent on the Santa Fo
with headquarters at Winslow, in place
of John Denair, who is in the hospital
at Prescott recovering from his injuries
received at the tunnel fire at Williams
some ten days ago. The appointment
is but temporary. Mr.. Denair will re-
sumo his position as soon as he is able to
get about again. Mr.. Allen will then
be given the position of trainmaster at
the Needles.
The last bit of right of way for the
Southern Pacific's new track through
Riverside was secured last week with
William Houlding, the last of the prop
erty owners, who accepted the terms
offered. The "cut-off" will now soon be
completed and then Riverside will prac-
tically be on the main line.
Harry Hillyer, who has for some
years been in the employ of the Santa
Fe at San Bernardino. has been promot-
ed, with headquarters at Albuquerque,

the Denver and Rio Grande left yester-
day for San Francisco.

WAR OF BILL POSTERS
One Company Pastes Paper on An
others Boards and Arrests Follow


The war between the Los Angeles Bill
Posting company and the Wiltshire Post
ing company, which has been on for
some weeks, and which was made the
subject of a long petition to the city
council by the latter company reached
the police court yesterday. 1t is claimed
by the Los Angeles Posting company
that the other concern has been trying
to drive it out of business, and. in it's own
protection, it was compelled to have two
of the employees of the rival company ar
rested.
The bone of contention in this partic-
ular case is the bill board on Broadway.
near the intersection of Franklin street.
| This is claimed by both companies, but
the Los Angeles company secured 1t first
and claim to have a lease on it. They
put up bills of the Burbank theater, but
soon afterward some person covered
these bills with paper of the Wiltshire
company, which announced that that
space was ito let" The Los Angeles
company replaced the other paper and
watched the board. and a few days later
it was again covered with the Wiltshire
company's paper
AS result, warrants We're issued for
the arrest of John Davis and George
Whitehead, employees of the Wiltshire
company. The cases We're tried before
Justice Morrison yesterday. That
against Whitehead was dismissed. but
Davis was found guilty of misdemean-
or, it being proved that he had done the
work complained of. He will be SEN
fenced Tuesday at 10 a. m. AS he claims
to have been acting under orders, it is
not probable that very severe penalty
will be imposed. Before the trouble be-
tween the two companies is ended it is
probable that it will reach the superior
court in the form of a damage suit.

Mr.. Edwin r. Trip, the postmaster, at
Middlcfeld Center, n. Y, recently had a
dangerous experience which left him in q
helpless state. His system was so much
shattered that it was feared he might never
recover.
In an interview with n reporter Of the
Republican, regarding this experience which
had attracted considerable attention, Mr..
Trip stated:
. "fn March, 1892, I was taken with what
sfterward learned was locOmotor ataxia, and
was unable to walk, and kept getting
worse until | lost the use of my arms. ]
doctored with two skillful doctors but re-
ceived no benefit, and also used a galvanic
battery but kept getting worse and the doc
tors told me they could do no more. This
was in May and June, 1892. l gave up all
hope Of ever having the use Of my limbs
again, and did not expect to live very long.
| was unable to dress or undrCss myself, and
could not get around the house unless was
moved in a chair.
"I think il was in June that read Of the
case of man in Saratoga Co., n. Y, who
was taken very much rs myself He had
taken Dr.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People which contained in a condensed form,
all the elements necessary to give new life

The well known and oft cited Incl

Lincoln, is in exact point. He said "lt
was just after my election in 1860,
| when the news had been coming in
thick and fast all day and there had
been great Hurrah, boys!' SO that
was well tired out and went home to
rest throwing myself upon il lounge in
my chamber. Opposite to where l lay
was bureau, with "a swinging glass
upon it, and, looking in that glass,
saw myself reflected nearly at full
| length, but my face, | noticed, had two
| separate and distinct images, the tip OF
the nose of one being about three inches
from the tip of the other. l was little
startled and got up and looked in the
glass, but the illusion vanished, On
lying down again saw it a second
time, palmer, ii possible, than before,
and then / noticed that one Of the faces
was little paler than the other, l got
up, and the thing melted away, and in
the excitement of the hour forgot g..
| about it-nearly, but not cutie f,r o..

it, ard Il few days after ! tried the ca

thing came back again, but never sue
oeeded in bringing the ghost back after

ously to show it to my wife who was
somewhat worried about it. She thought
it was sign that was to be elected to
second term Of office, and that the
paleness of one of the faces was an omen
that | should not live through my sec
Ond term.
How often have heard him repeat
this couplet, always in an earnest,
|
preston on him, as If he recognized a
law from which there was no escape
that bound him, like spell:
There's divinity that shapes our ends,
