About a week ago a petition sign: ed by every business man in Nevada City was sent to A. N. Towne, General Superintendent of the Centarl Pacific Railroad, requesting a be made in the. running of the swiny train from Sacramento to Colfax, for'the general convenience of the traveling public and in order that our people might receive their lettersfrom-.below early enough to answer them, by return. mail when necessary. ~“We have received: the following reply to the petition: CentraL Paciric RarLeoap Company, GeneraL SuPERINTENDENT’S OFFICE. San Francisco, Jan. 28, 1882. Me-srs. Brown & . Catkins—Nevada City, Cal.—Dear Sirs: :—The petition addressed to Mr. Towne, City, received. You request’a close connection at Sacramento with the 8 o’clock train from San Francisco. If we did this it would break the conDan. McCarthy’s little dog caught and killed fifteen rats in a store-room on Commercial street, yestegday morning. — The Tidings says the Lingard theatrical troupe took money out of this town. Our contemporary is mistaken if it thinks they carried away j as much as they brought here, 4 F. M. Schmidt requests the Transcript to express the gratitude he feels towards those friends and neighbors who were so kind to him during the illness and after the death of his child. The bullion output of the Idaho quartz mine of Grass Valley, for January (a long month, or five weeks) was $75,000. The usual dividend of $7.50 per share will be paid, and > enough will be left toy carry over a large surplus. { Prof. Dare, the tight-rope walker who made a tour of this county recently, was severely, and perhaps fatally hurt at Hollister Monday by the giving way of the rope at one end. He fell thirty feet and suffers from concussion of the brain. The Sacramento Bee has a telegram stating that one Francisco Avilla was convicted of burglary at this city on Monday. As no sucir] case has been before the Superior Court here, the Bee must have’ got us mixed up with some other town. i ements What We aaid. eee The Nevada TRANSCRIPT is the authority for saying that Senator George wrote the article denouncing B. B. Faller as a “‘land pirate.” Senator George, himself, is the authority for saying he did not write that article.—G. V. Tidings. What this paper really said was, “It is reported here that Senator George wrote the commuuication.” It was a respectable citizen of Grass Valley who reported it in this town, and many good things were said about the Senatur on the supposition he wrote it. The communication was one no man in the State need be ashamed of fathering, so far as that part of itis concerned. —— Had the Toothache. T.-H. Carr, Secretary of the Nevada County Land League, yesterday received from the State Secretary at San Francisco a letter explaining the failure of Mr. Healey, the Irish envey, to keep his -lecture engagement in this city last. week. He was greatly afflicted with toothache at thé time, and could not travel: The State Secretary says that Mr. O'Connor has pesitively agreed to stop here on his way East, and that our citizens shall have at least ten days notice of his coming. In Jail. Again. ~ That chronic old nuisance, Wm. Montgomery, Esq., was picked up s on Commercial street. yesterday morning in a half frozen and bleeding condition and:put into the County Jail. The only way to break him of his vagrant ways is to sentence -him to jail for the rest of his days ~ and make him a high private in the . chain-gang. He is a public pest when at large. . Fell Down Stairs. Yesterday afternoon R, N. Smoot the blind man came to the TranSCRIPT office on business. As he started down stairs to go home. he missed his footing when three steps from the top and fell headlong to the bottom. He was considerably bruised, but fortunately escaped ‘without-any serious injuries. ‘Money in the County Treasury. ‘counted the money in the. County ‘Yveasury, and found the amount on ‘deposit to be correct, as follows: — Gold $80,585, ditver $679.83, currency $4,400 ; total $85,664.83. . Fn emer @ BE sch lgn sacded ‘A new stock of Sages in fringed Valen_ £16t. ‘Sacramento would break the con. must Grass Valley witha population Waar is the attraction’ now at the Southern Pacific line, and’would compel all passengers, mailand-express to lay over at Sacramento till the evening train, and then remain over night at Colfax before reaching . your ge ¥ou also mention that you think the time could be increased at least one-third. This is impossible, on account of this being a mixed train and doing all the local freight work between Sacramento and Colfax. We would be very glad to give your people an earlier connection at Colfax, but under the circumstances do not see how we can possibly do so at present, Yours etc., J. A. FILLMore, Ass’t. Gen’l, Sup’t, When the petition was being circulated a number of our people expressed a decided opinion that no notice would be taken of it, and that it was useless to attempt to have a change made, as it was inevitable that they must be inconvenienced so long as the C. P. Co. so decreed, All admit that at no period has the time-table been so detrimental to their interests as now—not even when the old stage line was in vogue. In one respect a certain port on of our people were mistaken when they stated that the petition would be treated with contempt. Mr. Towne is a gentlemanin every respect and . would not for a moment allow a . communication of that kind go unnoticed. It has been answered by the company, and we do not give up the idea that a change will be made by them. when they become fully aware of the true situation. Mr..Fillmore,; Assistant General Superintendent, says in his lettr that ‘‘to make close. connection at nection from the San Jose and the Southern Pacific line,”-ete. —-The citizens in, their petition did not ask the company to do that, but as Mr. Fillmore places a great deal of stress upon the that that if close connection were made passengers, mail and express from the points mentioned would have to lay overat Sacramento till the arrival of the evening train, and over night at Colfax, the people here without adissenting voice would in that event say allright; forit would make no difference to them if there were no connection made between the places referred to and Nevada county once a week. After a careful investigation it.can_be shown that out of every hundred passengers that arrive in Grass Valley.and Nevada City there are not over two who come from any other places than Sacramento and San Francisco. Out of a thousand letters, nine hundred and fifty come from Sacramento and San Francisco. These facts can be verified at the express, railroad and post offices. Such being the case, of 7,000 and Nevada City with 6,000 be inconvenienced to an unreasonable extent for the sake of making it convenient for so small a percentage of passengers, mail and express? We ask Mr. Fillmore-to look into this . matter and then say if it-is right or just to our peopl: that such a state of affairs should exist. Mr. Fillmore says it would be impossible to increase the running time of the local train our citizens complain of: Our merchants who have occasion to go over the route frequently say that all they would ask of Mr. Fillmiore, if he has plenty of time tospare, would be for him to take the train which leaves Sacramento at 2:40 Pp. m. and reaches Colfax at 7:07, and see for himself how -it is run, and that if he did not make a change as soon ay he got back to Sacramento they would pay the running.expenses of the train for the next six months. It is the bardest work in the world for the engineer to fill ‘in his time, so as not to be ahead of the schedule. One of our cisco six times within two. monthssays that at Rocklin after the engine had watered and wooded up not less than en minutes was wasted every time, and going from Auburn ‘to Colfax when no freight. interfered: with the train, that an ordinary plug ‘signed by the citizens of Nevada]. nection from San Jose, Stockton and} Porins, dhck ox att these six trips there has been a general growling and disgust expressed by all on board, and he heard more enrsing any one of them than hehears the streets of this city in six months, All sorts of reasons are assignedjby the passengers as to why the train does not. make better time, and every dishonorable motive imaginaable is charged against the Ce néral Pacific Company. He believes the company is not actuated by any wicked motive, as most of the pasthat the officers are not fully aware of the State of California. He agrees with us in that ifany of the officers of the Company should go over the route they would say they did not blame the people of Nevada county for howling till they were hoarse against such an imposition of a train. : By this train the mait and express arrive here at 9:18 in the evening, arid necessarily it must be after 10 o’clock at night before any letters ing train. Inorder that our people may get the mail at 9:18 the Narrow Guage is compelled to leave Colfax at 7:15, or eight minutes after the arrival of the “hoodlum train,” (as-it is called by everybody.) Thus passengers can not get anything to eat from 2 v’clock until 9:30, or after they reach this city. In the face of a1 these facts, our people most {respectfully request Mr. Fillmore to look into thejmatter and aseertain if*something can not be done. ‘The trouble of reaching this city and Grass Valley ,has never been so great, not even when our people depended wholly upon stages driven from Sacramento, It seems td them that in this age of railroads they should be accommodated more than they are at the present time. As we stated at the commencément of this article, we believe as do many of our people who do not attribute dishonorable motives toward Mr. Fillmore that the change will yet be against the unjust arrangement, and we know it may be kept up till dooms-day without Mr. notice wilt be taken of the— matter, This article will be sent to Mr. Fillmore personally. : A Poor raerase The comedy of “Our Boys” was sengers claim, but is of--theopinion made, Every paper published in this part of the country his been loud in its complaints Fillmore’s attention being called to it, and no butchered in this city Tuesday evenPersonal and Social Items Gleaned Here and There.4 Dr. Webster of Grass Valley was at the county seat yesterday, taking . a birdseye _ view of the political situation here. Miss F, M. Hall until recently a teacher in the public schools of this city, left yesterday ‘afternoon for San Francisco. She expects to go to Kansas City, Mo., to spend the remainder. of the winter.

If all the great bargains offered were to be written up; even the TRANSCRIPT, as large as it is, would be unable to publish the full particulars.
