4 RECORD OF A DAY SOUTH OF THE TEHACHEPI PASADENA NEWS NOTES Completion of the Electric Road to Los Angeles THE ANNEXATION QUESTION Interesting Meeting of the Shakespeare Club I. O. O. F. Church Services—Plans for the New Raymond —Hotel Arrivals. Interesting Items PASADENA. May 4.—Cars are now running tegulaily on the electric road to Los Angeles, and many are already avail ing themselves of this method of reaching the city, although the patronage ot the road will be very largely increased when it is more generally known that it is now in regular operation throughout the length ol the line. The entire road has been Operated from the Pasadena power house since yestcr-. day, and although the work of construc tion is not yet complete at the power house the machinery is all in place, and the finishing touches can 06 applied later. The roof is not even entirely constructed over the great building that houses the machinery, nor is the cement Moor laid, not to speak of many other projected and necessary matters of construction, yet the machinery is running apparently as smooth!ly as conld be desired on its foundations of stone and cement, inde pendent ol roof or floor. There are three boilers of the Sterling pattern and two Cross compound condens ing engines of 600 and .'!U'J horse power, respectively. The three dynamos are of 500' volts pressure each, one being the Westinghouse multi-polar, the other two the Ellison bi-polar uynamos of the latest and most improved patterns. Tbe building for housing the cars is still incomplete, but is sufficiently ad vnced in construction to show its im mense size, and after viewing the cars it is evident that a very large building is required to contain them. They look al most like railroad cars as they come Hy ing up the street, the bell ringing loudly, frightening horses which are not used to smch huge street cars. That this line will be the direct cause of a very considerable accession to Pasadena's population goes without saying—in fact, it is said that several families that had made arrange ments to locate in Los Angeles have al ready changed their minds and will sittle in Pasadena instead, owing to the con venience of the electric load, by which they can go and come at all hours of the day and evening. The opening of the road is to be cele brated in an informal way on Monday afternoon, when the city "council and prominent citizens of Los Angeles will be brought up to Hotel Green in a special car, where they will meet the city officials and a few representative citizens of Pasa dena. NORTH PASADENA Discussing the Proposition of Joining the City of Pasadena PASADENA, May 4.—The peoplo of North Pasadena are evidently awake to the advantage of being within an incor porated city, a call having been made for a meeting on Monday, the 6th Inst., at 7 p.m. at the Washington school build tug, when the matter of uniting with Pasadena will be discussed. At the recent meeting called by the people of Altadena to consider the mattet of Incorporating, North Pasadena was well represented and the almost unani mous voice of that meeting was in favor of annexation to Pasadena, though there was some difference of opinion as to whether the time had come for such action, some few maintaining that North Pasadena could get along very well for some time to come without the additional advantages secured by incorporation, especially since this involves additional taxes. However, it is said by those who have been making inquiries among the resi dents of our northern suburb that the sentiment in favor of union with Pasa dena has been growing steadily, and it is now quite generally conceded that the benefits to be secured, such as good street improvements, sprinkling, lighting, po licce and fire departments and free mail delivery, will more than counterbalance the slight additional tax. Shakespeare Club PASADENA, May 1. -At the meeting of the Shakespeare club yesterday afternoon Mrs. Parker read a paper on German Home Life, which was listened'to with close attention, being both interesting and well written. She touched upon the German's frugality and cleanliness, his Sreat love for music and the excellence of is schools—points worthy of imitation — but as for the position of the women of the peasant class, as farm hands, doing the plowing, harvesting, etc., this is cer tainly not so greatly to his credit. "German music, as compared with other nations," by Mrs. Frank Wallace, was an interesting sketch, followed by examples of music rendered in illustration of her paper, by the following young ladies: Miss Stoutenbery, Italian "song, Deh! Non Voler; Miss Jones, English song, Sally in Our Alley; Miss Wilson, French (piano) Valse Caprice; Miss Car ter. German song, The Erl King.

WIDEAWAKE POMONA A Bunch of Late News From the Valley City POMONA, May 4.—The full board of city trustees met Thursday evening. T. •'. Tanner appeared for the Orange Grove street railway company and asked for further time to decide what the road would do in regard to paving between its tracks on Second street. Trustee Graber reminded Mr. Tanner that considerable time had already been granted, but the board voted to allow ten days' more. W. A. Lewis stated to the board that his company, with whom the city holds a lire insurance policy for $2000 on the city hall, would take up the old policy, which cost (40 per year, and issue a new one for $20 per year, half the old rate. Also that a rebate of $11 would be made on the old policy. The trustees took ad vantage of the offer. The committee to look after a new irri gating flume on Alameda street was granted further time. A. ,T. Stewart was gianted the contract for street sprinkling for two years, at the rate of $2.1S per Jay for team and driver, [ and $2.58 per night for the same. The bond of $1000 of Marshal Lorbeer was approved. A committee was appointed to see to purchasing a new sprinkling cart. The city marshal asked for an extra night watchman, and a committee was appointed to look after the matter and see whether one was necessary or not. A resolution was passed declaring that City Attorney Owen owing to his having acted as attorney for G. H. Waters in his suit to compel the board of trustees to seat him as a member from the First ward, was unqualified to represent the board in the case. The chemical tire engine has arrived from the cast and will be tested in a few days.

LONG BEACH May Day Well Celebrated — Some Social Events LONG BEACH, My 4.—May day, al though lowering, did not stop between 200 and 300 peoplj. principally young people, from driving in here from the out lying towns—Downey, Clearwater, Nor walk. Garden Grove, Westminster, and quite a number were from Santa Ana on wheels and wagons; came to spend the day. The rain came down pretty hard during the same night, and did some damage to the new-cut hay, besides causing the grain to lodge some. But on the whole the benefits from it will more than coun terbalance the comparatively small loss. Many new buildings are going up, and a great many houses have also been taken for the season. The school census for the districts of Long Beach and Cerritos are completed, and the number of children in the two districts under 17 years of age foot up over 5 0. Of these 377 were between 5 and 17 years of age. Cerritos has made again over last year of 36. Dr. W. L. Cuthbert took the Long Beach and Professor Gar wood the Cerritos census. The Y. P. C.

May 4. — A Mexi can who cume in from the woodchoppers' camp at Hesperia yesterday, was run over by a Santa Fe switch engine at 11:30 last night, and his body ground to a pulp between the wheels. The Mexican had been drinking heavily during the evening, and the circumstances go to show that he had lain down on the track and fallen asleep, and was thus caught under the en gine. The locomotive was hacking down First street with a box car ahead, and the presence of the unfortunate Mexican was first discovered when the wheels were bumping over bis body. The engine was stopped and an investigation showed that his body was scattered along the track for a distance of 100 feet. Almost every hone was broken or smashed, and the body was mangled in a most shucking manner. The coroner's inquest held this morn ing exonerated the trainmen of all bamc. it being found that the Mexican had been thrown out of a saloon early in the evening, and there was but little doubt that he had lain down on the track and fallen into a drunken stupor, and was lying there wncn the engine approached. City Treasurer George W. Coo Icy has tiled his resignation of the office to which he was elected less than a month ago, and that too l>y the largest majoity of any man on the ticket. Tho res ignation is the result of a peculiar combination of circumstances, out of which the resignation appeared to Mr. Cooley to be the only honorable escape. At the first of the year Mr. Cooley leased his extensive hardware business to his brother Frank Cooley, and Frank Keller. The latter were to have active control of the business, the capital of course still being Mr. Cooley' S, but he re tired from toe active management. Since the election his attention has been called to tho law which prohibits a city officer from doing any business with the city or being in an way interested in any contract. Wnile Mr. Cooley's busi ness is entirely out of his hands, there is no denying the fact that he has an inter est in it, and if he continued to hold the office of city treasurer the lessees could undertake no city contract. In leasing the business Mr. Cooley had agreed, uf course, to use any influence he could to help the business along, and he felt that holding the office was breaking the obligation to the lessees uf the busi ness. Hence his resignation. It seems probable that Mr. R. T. Blour, the incumbent ; will be continued in that position by the city trustees. Theru is a jolly row brewing over the re sult of the voting contest at the mer chants' carnival, which closet! last night. During tho two nights of the carnival votes were received for the young lady making the best representation on tue stage, and when the icsult was announcd last night Miss Eva Boley, representing one of the bicycle stores which was largely interested in the carnival (it was given by the Cycling club; was declared the winner with forty-live votes. Miss Cora Kurtz came second with forty-three, and Miss Emma Davis third with thirty nine. Now it develops that some mer chants who wanted the "ad" of winning in the contest kept tab on the votes put in for their representative aud say that more were deposited than were an nounced for the winner. The upshot of the matter is a state of affairs Which the officers of the Cycling club do not particularly enjoy, anil they have been forced to admit this morning that all the votes were not counted, be cause they were in a hurry to get. Ihrotigh and did not think the uncounted votes would change the result. The Cycling club peoplo are hunting for somebody wise enough to find them a way out of the difficulty. Juan Ferra was sentenced this morning by Judge Campbell to serve thirty years in San Quentin fur the murder of Chicken Jim, the old Frenchman who was so brutally murdered at Colton by Emclio Garcia and Ferra. Ferra did not strike the old man, but he planned the robbery by which he and Garcia were to be possessed of the old man's gold, and stood by while Garcia stabbed Guilminot, and then assisted in looting the house. Garcia is now at San Quentin under sentence te be executed June stb. It was on Ferra's testimony that Garcia was convicted, and Ferra nlead guiltyTo murder in the second degree. A strong case had been worked up against them independent of Ferra's confession and both might have been convicted uf mur der in tne first degree if Feira had stood a trial. He will be taken to San Quentin Monday. • Senator Shelby M. Cullom of Illinois spent last night in this city. A commit tee went over to Redlands In the evening to escort the distinguished visitor to town. An informal reception was ten dered at the Stewart hotel, after which Senator Cullom was taken to the Arrow head club and entertained for an hour. Later in the evening he returned to his private car. side tracked at the Santa Fe depot, and left this morning for San Francisco. AT SANTA ANA A Multitude of Rumors Chasing Around the Orange County Seat SANTA ANA, May 4.—There seem to be more uncertain rumors floating around this city that no one seems to know the straight of than was ever known before. First it is rumored that the Southern Pa cific Railway company has bought the franchise of the Santa Ana, Orange and Tustin Street Railway company, and a connecting line will be built between this city and Long Beach. And then it is said the Blade Publishing Company has sold out to some one from some place,but no one seems able to substantiate the facts, and so it goes. It is a certainty that there are grounds for the rumor that the Southern Pacific Company has gotten hold of the street railway company for the reason that the time tables of the Tustin and Orange lines have been changed so as to connect with the outgo ing trains on the Southern Pacific road and Southern Pacific tickets are sold from Tustin to Los Angeles over the street car line and the Southern Pacific road for the same that is charged from this city to Los Angeles. This new time card goes into effect Monday morning. The more the people talk about the paving of the street car line the more they become divided on the subject. It is not a one-sided question by any means. The sho. tesc way out of the difficulty is to allow the street car company to go ahead and pave to their own plans, which is to tamp the "cement, clay and gravel from near'l ustin in their car track for a foundation, and then put on a two-inch layer of asphaltum. If this proves to be a nuisance the city can or der it done over again, and if the street railway company don't comply with the order of the board tbe city can do the work and charge it up to the road. If any part of that portion already paved proves a failure the city will have to father it and make god any defects that may here after appear, while the street car company has to loot its own bills. The property owners have voluntarily clone what is done and now ask the city to com pel the railway company to do "as they have done, while the property owners got a five years' guarantee, but the same con tractor would not guarantee the street car track five minutes paved with the same material. Mrs. Key. Oeorge E. Dye of Los An geles is in our city visiting old friends for a week or two. The teacberu uf the public schools went to the Santiago eonyon today for a good old-fashioned picnic. Or. J. Q, Bailey sued George R, Smith lo* $01 for professional services rendered Mr. Smith's daughter Which Mr. Smith claims he has paid once but swears he will not pay again.

Information reached hero today that French sheep herders have invaded the government reservation in Trabuca hilis, this county, with thousands uf sheep, against the orders of United States Dis trict Attorney Denis of Los Angeles. Every year the government has had trouble with these sheep men to keep them, with their bands pf sheep, off tho reservation. The reservation consists of about 50,000 acres of mountain land which the government has reserved for park purposes. FAVORITE OF FORTUNE The Remarkable Record of Mr. B. L. Holt of Mary ville, Ho. B, L. Molt of Maryvlile, Mo., is a favor ite of fortune, for twice within twelve years he has on an investment of $1 each time, drawn $15,000 iv the oldest and only reliable lottery in America. Mr. Holt held one-half of ticket No. 75,414 in tbe drawing ol the Louisiana State Lottery company, held at New Orleans in March, 1883. This ticket drew the capitol prize of $30,000. Whole tickets were at that time worth $2 each. Mr. Hull, who had purchased a one-half ticket for $1. re ceived (15.000, the other half going to a gentleman in Savannah, Ga. At the drawing of the Honduras National Lot tery company, the successor to the Louis iana State Lottery company, at Puerto Cortez, Honduras, O. A., on January 12, 1805, tiie capital prize was won by ticket No. 80,236, one-firth ol which was bought by Mr. Holt for Sl. But let Mr. Holt tell his experience with tho Louisiana State Lottery company and its successor, the Honduras National Lottery company, as he recited it to a Spurting News repre sentative who visited him. Said hei "A little over twelve years a.'O 1 bought my first ticket in the" Louisiana State Lottery. I did not despair when I exam ined the list and found that I had not drawn anything, Vil persevered. On my third investment of $1 I drew $15,009. There was no delay in the collection of my ticket. It was paid promptly. I con tinued to buy tickets regularly each month with varying success, winning iv small sums far more than I over invested. But I did not again succeed in winning a part of the capital prize until last Janu ary. 1 found the Honduras National Lot tery company as fair and prompt in its dealings as the old Louisiana St ite Lot tery and on January 2'ltli I received a draft fur $15,000. Such a record is a guar antee that the Honduras National Lottery company is all that it claims to be. I will continue to play the lottery as long as I live, and expect to win ahotner capi tal prize before 1 die. 1 had $20 worth of tickets in the February drawing and drew $104. That's not bad. is it?
