THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, MARCH 135, 1895. JUST ABOUT THE WEATHER. The weather-guesser was _all right in his prognostications yes- terday so far as sunshine was con- cerned, but there was a general desire for more warmth in the at- ere. The prediction for to- v is that fair weather will pre- vail.

ANOTHER BIG SUBSGRIPTION. FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS FROM MILLER & LUX FOR THE VALLEY ROAD. SURVEYORS GO OUT MONDAY. IT Is PROBABLE THAT Two PARTIES ‘WiLL TAKE THE FIELD AT ONCE. When the promoters’ committee of the valley road got together yesterday after- noon one of its members stated that if the committee would defer giving out the list of new subscribers for a little while he thought he would be able to report one of such dimensions as would be calculated to arouse a feeling of enthusiasm among the friends of the enterprise. ‘While the com tee did not see fit to comply with this suggestion the anticipat- ed subscription made itself apparent just tion and expended in making a survey and a tract of land was also purchased at Mar- -/ tinez in order to secure access to deep water. The survey extends through the Sacramento Valley and the Beckwith Pass, and it may prove useful in the event of future extensions of the new road. WHY A WEDDING WAS DELAYED, La Grippe Attacked Both the Intended Bride and Groom. A singular case of misfortune has over- taken a young lady and gentleman who ar- rived in this city on the 4th inst. and reg- istered at the Cosmopolitan Hotel under the names of Patrick Fahey and Miss An- nie Hammill of Sonora, Tuplumne County. After a courtship of seven years they came here to be married by the Rev. Father Lynch of St. James Church. The proprie- tor of the hotel, who is a brother-in-law of the intended groom, together with his good wife, began to make arrangements for the marriage of the young lady and her affianced when suddenly the bride-elect was stricken with the grip. She was al- most on the point of death for three days, | but medical aid brought her around and | on the fourth day her friends thought that | she was in sufficient health togo to the | altar. Unfortunately the watching and ty of the would-be groom proved too for him and he was also attacked with the grip. Yesterday he was pro- | nounced out of danger and'the day of the | wedding- will be set for some time next week. | Mr. Fahey is a well-known cattleman of Tuolumne County and his intended bride |is a resident of Sonora. Their many HENRY MILLER, SURVIVING [Drawn by a “Call™ artist from a photograph.] PARTNER OF MILLER & LUX. the same. A short telephone message from John T. Doyle told the story. It was as follows: Miller and have signed papers to sub- seribe $50,000 to the valley road. Just at this juncture, when large sub- scriptions are not as frequent as the com- mittee would wish, this one mentioned was particularly timely and indicated, as oneof the directors said, that there were many of the moneyed men of San Fran- cisco who would yet come to the front if they were only given the necessary time to consider the proposition in all of its phases. There are still a number of corporations, firms and individuals who have signified their intention to take stock in the road, but who have been prevented, by one rea- son and another, from so doing, but the progress still being made is of a nature which gives the projectors of the road much encouragement. President Spreckel is not concerning him present about the money *“We will raise all we need,” he confi- dently asserted yesterday as he hurried into the new offices of the company to give some directions about their completion. The subscriptions announced yesterday and the total list received up to date are as follows: is one of those who If very much at Miller & Lux. §50,000 500 500 5,000 ,000 g 300 Mose Gunst..... 1,000 Thomas G.

Grand total “We have more than enough subscribed to carry the total above §2,500,000,” said Vice-President 3hittier, ~‘but the names of some of the subscribers have not yet been reported. so we can’t give them out.” *Henry Miller, who was one of the parties to the splendid subscription of $50,000 made yesterday, was seen in his office in the afternoon, and expressed himself as heartily in favor of the new road. ‘It doesn’t matter to me where it starts from nor where it goes,” said he, ‘“‘so we get a road from under the control of a cor- poration which has no sym};‘mhy for us. e consider that our house has helped to build up this monopoly, and the only pros- ect now left is to get a competing road eading in some direction. ““It is very humiliating, this position in which the business men of San Francisco have been placed. We intend to give this $50,000 not from any Enrucular county but from our main oflice here. We believe that sum is a fair proportion of the obliga- tion for our firm to assume.” Mr. Miller said that he was well pleased with the concession secured from the State, but was sorry to see that only three Sena- tors from this vicinity had proven loyal to the interests of the city. It is probable that at least one surveying party will take the field Monday, eithér on this or the opposite side of the bay. Chief Engineer Storey said yesterday that he thought two parties would take up the work, He is only awaiting instructions from the board, and that body is likely to take action as soon as Attorney Preston and John D. Spreckels return from Sacra- mento. A plan is on foot, it is said, to turn over the assets of the San Francisco and Great Salt Lake Railway to the valley road, and the maps, moneys, profiles, etc., are al- ready in the possession of Engineer Storey. About $40,000 was raised by this corpora- 4 in a manner that met with enthusiastic ap- | friends will learn for the first time why the wedding did not take place at the date an- nounced when they left home. —_————— HEAVY DRY GOODS FAILURE. The Philip Kennedy Company Turned Over to Creditors. { - Financial embarrassment has overtaken the Phillip Kennedy Dry Goods Company, and the business has been turned over to | the management of the firm's creditors, The liabilities are footed up to about $40,- | 000. There is a large balance still due on | | notes amounting to_$35,000 which were in- | | dorsed by McDade and Mathew | | Nunan, which balance the sureties will now be called upon to pay. A complete schedule of assets and lia bilities has notlyet been made, but itis thought that there will be nothing left'for the creditors except the dimished stock now on hand. The crash came when the wholesalers refused to fill any more orders unless ac: companied by the cash equivalent. Then a demand was made upon the sureties on the notes fora large amount, and these | gentlemen immediately took possession of | the storeon the strength of the notes they | had indorsed for Mrs.; Kennedy. The agreement under which the notes were in- | dorsed was to the effect that they should be paid off at the rate of $2000a month, which was notdone. The notes were held by Murphy, Grant & Co. YERBA fiwmmms. THE LODGE AND ITS FRIENDS MAKE MERRY AT ODD _AELLOWS' HALL, | | | AN EXCELLENT PROGRAMME OF SONGS AND SPEECHES FoL- 'WED BY DANCING. Yerba Buena Lodge No. 15, 1. 0. 0. F., entertained its friends last night at the fraternity’s hall, Seventh and Market | streets. The occasion was one of great rejoicing, the onlv drawback being that the seating capacity was insufficient. The following programme was rendered proval: Organ voluntary, J. C. Howe; overture, *‘Caliph of Bagdad,” juvenile or- chestra of Metret’s Institute; recitation, selection, Miss G. H. Cahalin; vocal solo, selection, Miss Della Delano; fancy dance, Miss Sadie Smithson; piano duet, Miss Gussie Menke and Mrs. ]% . Merritt; reci- tation, Miss Edith Wellington; barytone solo, Edward C. Boysen; specialties, J. Bockman; denticon “solo, S. Thors; re- marks, W. H. Barnes, P. G. M. Worthy of special mention was the per- formance of the juvenile orchestra, which was encored three times. Proficiency was manifested in almost every number of the programme. One feature of the entertainment that figured lsrgelg to its success was the humorous address made by J. 8. Swan, who for half an hour kept the audience convulsed with merriment. 3 After the programme had been rendered the hall was cleared of chairs and dancing was indulged in until midnight. Among the ladies and gentlemen pres- ent were: | Francisco and & { Tieve that Iam uns “CHINA BASIN I THE PLACE" WHAT PROMINENT CITIZENS SAY OF THE VALLEY ROAD TERMINAL. LET THE WORK BEGIN SOON. A SUGGESTION THAT ONLY CALI- FORNIA LABOR BE EMPLOYED IN CONSTRUCTION. The clang of the hammer that drives the first spike in the valley railroad will arouse an echo that will be heard through- out the State. It will be one that the peo- ple generally will hail with rejoicing, for while heralding the beginning of a new and noble enterprise, it will also be the death-knell of railroad monopoly through our mountains and valleys. Now that the grand obstacle has been overeome, the main question for San Fran- cisco to consider is the terminal. From interviews made by CALL represen- tives yesterday, the consensus of opinion was favorable to China Basin as an advan- tageous point. The cogent reasons are | given by leading representatives of all the industries of the State. If it were put to a vote the basin would win by a large majority. Relative to the construction of the road, | those who know most about it say that | there are Jaborers enough in the State al- | ready to do the work, and that it would be | licy to invite an influx of men from ast with the expectation of getting vment. From the following interviews it will be seen that the matter has been thoroughly discussed i phases. : ) 0.F. von Rhein & lifornia street, real estate, said: i I think the railroad should be a San Fran- | cisco enterprise, and that its terminal should be i ancisco. That isabont all thatI | to say about the matter at the | me. | mis, real estate, 324 Montgomery nid 2 cet the China Basin as the terminal e road we have got the cream of the ss. As it lies between Second and | is it is convenient in every par- Of course the company will have to | build iges and make the proper extensions, | which will cost money; but there is plenty of | rock on Rincon Hill easy of access with which to do that at 2 minimum cost. It will give the company an opportunity to land their freight as cheaply as though the road went to San Jose, Oakland or Alameda. That part of it would make no difference to San Francisco. | That location, in my opinion, is the key to the situation for us and will place us on equal terms with the Southern Pacific Company. It is_indefinitely superior to any landing that might be had at North Beach or anywhere else on this side of the bay. It will also give equal facilities for using the Lombard-street dock ion railroad, as well as in crossing At the present time I could not guess -t the road is going to San Jose from the in or across the bay. Behrend Joost, the president of the San | Franci San Mateo Electric Railroad | Com | 1 have no hesitancy in giving my orininn of | the matter, from the simple fact that I have in- | terests sufiicient to entitle me to speak. Those | i . 1 know, are in common with the in- | the people of the State at large. The position, as it were, of the China | \lers it the most available locality for 1 of the new road. It is close to present C.B street, Tf point for Thol bt and the the term Mission Creck and deep water, and is sheltered from the heavy northern storms of the winter. At that point American and foreign ships could take grain directly from the cars and | thus save the expense of a double handling. It | would also be a handy landing from San Mateo | or San Jose. The road itself will not be only a San Joaquin Valley road, but aroad for San Mateo, Santa Clara and Santa Cruz counties. I | believe in the greatest good to the greatest | number. My interests, of course, are in San Mateo -counties, but I be- | fish in what I am saying. In speaking of the benefits along the line, I re- fer to what may be done in branch lines or 1s 1 would propose (0 be | com! ies of electric lines, that | would run by the house of nearly every farmer, | conveying produce and passengers to the main line. The motive power wonld be cheaper than steam and the system wonld save hauling and | develop the country rapidly. Alexander T. Vogelsang, attorney-at- law in the Mills building, said: The workshops and freight terminal of the | new road will have tobe south of ('hannel{ street, of course, but the passenger traffic must be handled from the foot of Market street. How will it get t Why they cannot sto) it. The public will demand it, that's all. passengers are landed south of Market street the people will have to ride into town on the street cars of the Southern Pacific Company, and that will never do. But I desire to say right here that by all means I want the road to g0 through Stockton. Frederick Kaufman, grocer and real estate man at the southeast corner of Mis- sion and Fifth streets, said: My interests are at both ends of the road, you might say; that is to eay, in this eity and Fresno. 1am so glad that we are going to have the road that I never thought of ter- minals until I saw the map in the CALL this morning. That convinced me that China Basin was far and beyond anything else that could be suggest I am looking forward to an era of prosperity now which has never be- fore visited the people of this State. This road is simply Bfm" of the grand forward move- ment, and 1 only hope that no mistake will bo made in the beginning of this enterprise. James B. Allen, the hatter, who came very mnear defeating McGlynn for City Recorder, said: As long as the road gets in San Francisco it suits me. The competing proposition is what we want. It would certainly make a great difference to me in freights. M. McGlynn, president of the Labor Council, said : The construction of the road would give labor to the unemployed, and that is what pleases me most. The working classes say: “Let us have the road.” They are the workers, as well as the voters, and why should not their interests be subserved as well as others? Robert Trewin, the steward of the Re- ceiviniHoS}nml, was one of the first men to pitch a tent at the present site of Fresno during the building of the Southern Pa- cific from Merced south. He was employed as a carrenter, but afterward located at Bakersfield, and was the originator of the Pioneer canal, now known as the Carr & Haggin itrigating ditch. He says: I believe the new road will be a good thing for the State and San Francisco. I lived a num- ber of vears in the San Joaqiin Valley and I know the facilitics of that section. They are practically undeveloped, but the new road will dojit. ItIooks to me, but of course I am not a railroad mean, as though the line pmfoud would be built down through San Mateo, Santa Clara and San Benito counties and reach the valley through Pacheco Pass. In this way it could secureconnection with the Monterey and Fresno road, which might, under the eircum- stances, become a branch of the valley road. About the terminel? Well, I don’t know. It U. 8.

Augonnet of will be a good thing for San Francisco and the State, but just whether those lands should be given or leased by the Legislature I cannot say. W. W. Jones, manager of the Fruit Auction Company at Battery and Jackson streets, said: I have been & civil engineer a good portion of my life and consequently favor railroad hulld’inf‘ I believe railronds should have all the facilities they require for terminals. I think the valley road will benefit the State at Jarge and San Francisco in particular, but as to the giving or leasing of the lands for & term- inal [ am not prepared to speak as I have not given the matter suflicient thought to warrant an expression. Frank Dalton of Dalton Bros., commis- sion men, who was prominently spoken of as a likely appointee for Harbor Commis- sioner and who isan ex-president of the Produce Exchange, sai 1 believe it is a good thing to have competi- tion in every line of business. The leasing or granting of State lands to a railroad is & stimulant for competition. Every new road we get here, whether through State grants of terminals or not, helps to build up the State and city. That is what we need, but at the ~ same time the fact should be considered that the labor of the State should be put to work and this is one way in which it could be done. We have enough of unemployed here to do the work and 1 hope they wil?gel it. Thomas Cazneau, who has heard more complaints of theatrical and traveling men about California only having one railroad, than any other man in the city, says: The valley road is & good thing both for the State and city. While some people may think the granting of terminal facilities at China Basin to the new road involves selfish motives, I cannot overlook the fact that California is big enough to have, and ought to have, four or five railroads, and too much_cannot be given by the State to bring this about. Every time such a proposition is considered it helps San Francisco and the State to the extent that it stirs up public sentiment and relegates siluri- anism to where it belongs. Let us have the Valley road, and as many more as the Statecan accommodate. F. W. Dohrmann, president of the Mer- chants’ Association, 1s in {earty sympathy with the road and is happy over the fact that the Legislature k the position it i did in granting the fe lands of China Basin to the road. He/said: I am glad the Legislature took the stand it did and gave the road a terminal. There is one thing I would like to see, and that is that the work of construction be given to people who have lived in California for six months and not less. We have enough people here out of work to build the road, but just as soon as word goes forth that the road is fo be built there will be a rush for California of other unemployed labor, This should be counteracted at once. The road itself will not mean &n immedeate relief of the present financial stringency, but will be a wheel within a wheel, which will have a ten- dency to bring about better times. Let us have the road by all means. Charles Stepps, president of the Alma Mining Company, said: The giving of the China basin tide lands to the valley road by the Legislature seems to meet with favor. Iknow that I am satisfied, jor it is a good thing for the State and San Francisco. We need roads here and that is the way to get them. Joseph King, Supervisor of the First Ward, says: While I believe the road a good thing for the city and State, I am opposed to the donating of anything belonging to the people to & cor- poration. and I do not see that the Legislature had an far as the road is concerned it will be a good thing for the city, and also the State, but I do not like 1o see the people’s property given away like that. “AMOS HOWE™ IS COMING. A TYPICAL CALAVERAS FARMER WILL APPEAR IN BRUSIE'S NEW PLAY. To BE PRESENTED TO LocAL THE- ATER-GOERS NEXT MONDAY EVENING. Next Monday evening a type of an old- fashioned, big-hearted farmer from Cala- veras County, ‘“with a little bunch of Frank W. Bacon, the Effective Young Actor. [From a photograph.] whiskers on his chin,” will for the first time be shown to a San Francisco audience at Morosco’s Grand Opera-house. Amos Howe is the name of the granger, and Frank W. Bacon, a young San Josean, will interpret his part and eventually straighten out all the complications and troubles in the play of “The Estate of Hannibal Howe.” The piece is a four-act comedy-drama by Judson C. Brusie, a member of the present Assembly from Sacramento, and is the second dramatic effort of the young states- man. Some two years ago, during idle hours, he wrote a play which he called “The Assemblyman” and in it tried to teach a political lesson. The hero wasa political boss, who, strange to say, had no | vices and was endowed with virtues galore. He produced the piece in his native city, | himself appearing in the role of the re- | former. It ran for a week and. Brusie's | aspirations as a playwright were somewhat chilled, but one bit in it made him decide to keep on persevering as a dramatist. One small character in it, Silas Mul- ford, is taken from actual life, and though one that the dramatist had not considered of much imfi\orcance it made the hit of the piece. Mulford was patterned upon an old farmer whom he had known mtimately when a boy. So Brusiesat downand wrote a play with the farmer as a central figure, and on its production by a local stock company last January the play-goers of the capital city gaveit a pronounced stamp of approval. Bacon, who was for some years a news- aperman in San Jose, Mountain View, Mayfield and Napa, seemed to have been | molded for the part, and in the language of an enthusiastic critic, ‘“‘scored the suc- cess of his career. e has given an indi- viduality and strong new flavor to the part of the humane, impulsi loving old farmer that is artistic work in the highest sense. He has to deal with a part easily made ricdiculous, but he carefully avoids going too far.” Some of the old man’s experiences with the Salvation Army are novel and touch- ing. For instance, when he meets ““Lieu- tenant Good,” who will, bfi the way, be ¥layed by the ex-Rev. Mr. Harris, and sees him trying to take a drunken man home, he has along and interesting talk with the lieutenant, and finally aids him to take the inebriated one to a place of rest. —————— Ocean Steamer Passengers.

As | WRECK OF THE BARK RIDGWAY, SUFFERING OF THE CREW OF AN AMERICAN VESSEL DUR- ING A GALE. A HEROINE OF THE OCEAN. BRAVE MRs. SIoGREN WATCHED THE WOUNDED FOR THREE Days AND NIGHTS. Among the passengers of the steamer Arawa, which arrived from Sydney yester- day morning were Captain N. P, Sjogren, his wife and four seamen, comprising the survivors of the bark Ridgway, now a dis- mantled wreck lying atthe mercy of wind and tide on the rocks of Bellona Reef. In the terrible experiences which pre- ceded and followed the abandonment of the vessel Mrs. Sjogren, a pleasant little woman whose clear eyes denote a courage- ous spirit, proved herself a true heroine. The Sarah E. Ridgway, a bark af 829 tons burden, owned by J. Ridgway & Sons of Philadelphia and flying the American colors, left Newcastle on January 10.bound for Singapore with a cargo of coal. On January 25 she struck the path of a terri- ble storm and was forced to heave to for several hours. That afternoon the gale raged with great violence and carried away the goosewing, the lower maintopsail and the foretopsail, leaving the ill-iated bark scudding along under bare poles, the sea breaking over her decks, The next day the wind blew still fiercer | and the heavy seas toreaway the mainsail, wrecked the pilot-house and drenched the cabins. Both hatches were swept away and the water poured into the hold. C tain Sjogren called to Olsen, the ship’s carpenter, to come aft and secure a cove: ing for the main hatch. Olsen attempted | 10 obey orders, but just as he reached the | mainmast a mighty wave washed him | overboard. The skipper seized a halyard | and threw it toward the drowning carpen- | ter, but it failed to reach him. A moment | later another comber swept Henry Barley, a seaman, to his death. An effort to save | him was alike unavailing. The hurricane increased in violence, and, owing to the rolling of the bark, orders were given to cut away tHe fore and main topmasts. The sailors bravely responded. Soon the topmasts fell, and, dragging the mizzen topmast down, carried away the bowsprit. The rigging of the foretopmast struck a sailor named Olstrup, breaking his leg and rolling him into the scuppers. As helay there bleeding, brave Mrs. Sjo- gren and two of the crew went to his res- cue. It was dangerous even to be about the decks, but this did not deter theavoman | from helping the men carry the wounded | man to the cabin. There she did all she could possibly do to ease his sufferings. The sea soon claimed another victim. | The mass of rigging impeded the work of | the seamen, and while the crew were en- deavoring to cut some of it away the water | rolled over the port rail and carried a sea- | man with it. Like his mates Albert | Schroeder died within reach of the life- saving line, which the elements prevented | him from grasping. The survivors were appalled, but continued their work almost without hope. The third day the gale died away for a few hours, but the sea still ran very high. In the afternoon a cyclone even worse than the storm they had gone through sprang up. While the crew took to the pumps and worked like beavers, Captain Sjogren tried to keep the vessel headed to the windward, but with little success. In the cabin Mrs. Sjogren was trying to soothe the unfortunate Olstrup. %‘he pitching and rolling of the vessel made it bard for herto kee% her feet, but she steadied herseli as best she could and bravely continued her self-appointed task. The Lifth day the storm moderated and a jury mast was rigged. By this time the bark was close on to Bellona Reef, and as the water was pouring into the hold, threatening to sink the vessel at ar moment, it was decided to abandon he Two boats were lowered. ] Olstrup and another disabled sa laced in the one in charge of the captain. Mrs. Sjogren at once installed hersel nurse, and during the three days that the were adrift on the sea she kept a ceaseless vigil over the wounded. At last the two boats reached Lady Elliott Island, where a landing was effected. There the survivors were taken care of by hospitable people, who gave them accommodations until they took pas- sage for Sydney, at which port they boarded the Arawa for this city.
