Captain Hicks-Beach Rides the Winner in the Pony Dash. BAKERSFIELD, Caw., April 15.—The British Club pony races run here to-day were a brilliant success. Three thousand cople attended. The day wasmadea holi- ay, banks and business houses being closed. A The most interesting event of the da was the three-fourths mile dash, in whic Captain W. Hicks-Beach, late of the Eng- liskr army, rode the winner. Lord Sholto Douglas, son of the Marquis of Queens- berry, went to the front in the third race on his mount in a driving finish. All horses entered were mounted by their'own- ers, or gentlemen riders. Charged With Murder, A Coroner’s jury charged J. D. L. McGaughey with the murder of Dr. J. E. Plouf yesterday.

Actlon on the Bituminous Rock Question Postponed for a Week. The Board of Supervisors yesterday passed the Church-street franchise, and now the Market-street Railway Company will build the line according to the provi- sions of its application. There was no ex- citement in the chamber while the issue was up for discussion. The franchisé was put through by a vote of 8 to 4. Supervisor Hobbs read a minority report in which he protested against the passage of the franchise at the present time on the ground that the proceedings would be ille- gal, owing to the manner in which the franchise had been advertised. The franchise is to construct a street railroad on Church street from Sixteenth street to Ridley and along the latter street to Fillmore. Mr. Hobbs claimed that the board had no jurisdiction in the matter. He explained that under the act of March 23, 1893, regulating the sale of railroad and other franchises in municipalities, after being advertised as to the fact that the ap- plication for the franchise had been made and that the board proposed to grant the same character of the franchise, terms of its continuance and the route to be tra- versed, the franchise was-then sold to the highest bidder. The Supervisor held that the application | of the railroad for the franchise was drawn not only as an advertisement, butasa com- plete order, and apparently ready to be put on its passage before the board. It contained limitations and conditions which were not authorized by law, and which defeated the object of the law. The treet Railroad Company had everything its own way, and could do just about as it pleased in running over the streets it de- sired, dictating the route and the terms of the franchise. A portion of the report read as follows: It makes the franchise worthless to any per- son except the Market-street Railway Com- pany,” read the report, “and therefore renders ail the proceedings under the advertisement absolutely void, and any action of the board at | this time will be illegal. The law distinctly | states the advertisement must state the terms, | that is, the number of years the franchise is to run. This nowhere appears. This Obievnon | alone is fatal. It effectively shuts out all com- | petition and virtually delivers the franchise over to the Market-street Railway Company.” In view of these facts Mr. Hobbs offered a motion to the effect that action on the iirunchisc be suspended till the City and County Attorney had been consulted on the legality of the question, but the motion was lost by the following vote: Noes--King, Scully, Benjamin, Hirsch, Hughes, Dunker, Morgenstern, Wagner—8. Ayes—Dimond, Spreckels, Hobbs, Tay- lor—4. Supervisor Hughes then moved that the | franchise be passed, and Supervisor King seconded the motion, which was adopted | by the same vote as above, and thus the Market-street Railroad Company won | another victory. ‘When the question of the Mayor’s veto on the bituminous rock issue came up those in the gallery and lobby crane their necks and awaited action with eager- ness. They had expected some lively cross firing, but they were greatly disappointed, for Supervisor Wagner at once moved for a postponement of one week and when the roll was called it was found that the solid eight were again in line. They had caucused dur- ing the dayand they were short a vote, and decided to play for time with the hope of securing the desired strength to down the Mayor within the coming week. o’clock came when the solid eight voted for an adjournment. They voted, too, with Superviser Morgenstern when that functionary offered a resolution replacing Ambrose Watson as clerk in Police Court No. 2 and appointing his own son, A. T. Morgenstern, who has just come down from the country, after May 1.§ Supervisor Dimond made a vigorous | protest against this action of the board, | saying that he knew of no good reason | why Le should vote for the resolution. | But the solid eight did, though no explana- tion was offered, and the motion went | through on the run. | The report of the Committee on Streets, ‘oi which Adu!fh Spreckels is chairman, | was signed by Hughes, as acting chairman. | Morgenstern, Dunker and Benjamin took | aslap at Mayor Sutro. In the matter of | the petition of the Sutro Railroad Com- | pany for an extension of one year’s time | for the completion of the railroad under | the franchise, the committee reported in | favor of granting three months’ time and in the report it was said: The testimony taken as to the material nsed | in the construction of said road to be of Cali- | fornia material did not show an earnest desire | on the part of the Sutro Railroad Company to | comply with the conditions imposed, and this | concession has been made becsuse of the offi- cial position of the grantee, as we!l as in defer- ence to the annoying pertinacity with which the application was passed. The following resolution was then passed "by the board: = s | . That an extension of three months’ time is { hereby granted the Sutro Ra{lroad Company in | whieh to complete its street railroad under all | the conditions and restrictions heretofore fm- | posed, and such other conditions nnd restric- i tions as are or may be imposed by this boatd. i+ The Committee on Health and Police re- ported that arrangements had been made to put into service the Receiving Hospital ambulance presented to the city by Mrs. Herman Oelrichs and Miss Virginia Fair {from 7 A. M. to 7 p. m. after April 22, at a cost to the city of $90 a month. The ambulance will be put into night and day rovision will be evy. The report made in the next tax was adopted. Sgyervisor Taylor, from the Committee on Finance, reported adversely, owing to to the lack of funds, on the claim of Pro- fessor George Davidson for$300 for services rendered the city in connection with the establishing of a board of engineers to de- vise a sewerage system for the city. * Col- onel Mendell and Irving M. Scott were also appointed on the board, and they select- egg\:ianson & Grunsky to do the work, and after the sewerage system had been planned and carried out the board was abolished in January, 1893. The report stated that much disrespect and injustice had been done these men who had given their time to advance the interests of the city. Supervisor Benjamin, from the Commit- tee on Health and Police, reported at length on the question of disposing of the city’s garbage, and ordered the clerk to advertise for proposals for a franchise. The report was adopted. 5 upervisor Dunker from the Committee on Fire Department reported to compel the factory on the rear end of rden street to comply with the orders of the chief engineer to abate the nuisance caused by smoke and cinders from the chimney, and a resolution was passed to that effect. g : _A resolution by Supervisor King, ap- pointing Frank H. Powers special counsel far the city and county to collect, by suit or otherwise, the delinquent taxes. for the year 1894 that remain unpaid from June 1, 1895, fixing his bonds at §10,000, and allow- ing him 5 per cent of the amount for his services, was referred to the Finance Com- mittee. __The report of the Recorder showed that the reuf ts of the office for the month amounted to $5046 75, and the expendi- tures $3623 58. Theodore alley, between Stockton street Thus the hours of the afternoon until 6 | and Noonans alley, was ordered expunged from the map. The board then adjourned. ELKINS OUT ON THE BAY. Senator Perkinsg Entertains the Distin- guished Visitors ¥From Across the Mountains. Senator Stephen B. Elkins of West Vir- ginia and Congressman Charles F. Joy of Missouri were the guests of Senator George C. Perkins on the State tug Governor Markham yesterday. Included in the party with the distinguished visitors were: Irving M. Scott, Mrs. 8. B. Elkins, Davis and Blaine Fikins, Mrs. E. Ina Ryer, Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Hamilton, U. §, Grant Jt., IL. E. Hunting- ton, Charles Webb Harvard, Milton J. Green, Harbor Commissioner D. T. Cole, C. F. Bassett, George Pippy, Hon. R. B. Carpenter, Captain W. L. Merry, M. G. Perkins, Fred Perkins, Cap- tain Pike and Thomas Tierney. A wagon-load of Erovisious was emptied on the tug, and shortly before 11 o’clock the Governor Markham steamed away from La Rue’s wharf and headed for the Union Iron Works. Here the party dis- embarked and an hour was consumed going through the shops and inspecting the Txi battleship Oregon. Then a spin was taken around the bay, the Markham going as far as the heads. When the sun was over the forearm the tug tied up at the wharf of the Pacific Yacht Club and the tempting viands of the commissary de- partment were discussed. Luncheon over a tour was made through the beautiful rounds of the clubhouse, after which the i[arkham was headed for home. PHILBROOK IN COURT. The Disbarred Attorney Won a Suit Before Judge Seawell. In Judge Seawell’s department of the Superior Court yesterday morning the case of C. B. Williams against Joseph Cuneo gave Horace W. Philbrook another chance to fight the decision of the Supreme Court, which declared that he should not act as attorney at law. The story of Philbrook’s disbarment, for having used language in a brief which the Supreme Court deemed improper, is well known. Since his dis- barment Mr. Philbrook has been occupied chiefly in trying to get around that de- cision. Before an Qakland court he re- cently appeared as the petitioner in a habeas corpus case forone of his clients who had been arrested. As a matter of course Mr. Philbrook was heard in his own behalf. Later, by means of a nominal assignment of a claim, he at- tempted to get a hearing before Judge Hunt. The case of Williams against Cuneo was on an appeal from the Justices’ Court. The first trial was finished before the disbarment proceedings. Afterward J. Brooks Palmer, a young man in Mr. Philbrook’s office, was substituted in his stead. Yesterday the case was tried by Mr. Palmer, backed by Mr. Philbrook. A uestion going to the veracity of the plaint- ;lff being raised, Attorney Bates, repre- senting the plaintiff, said he had no objec- tion to_Mr. Philbrook addressing the court. Judge Seawell, however, did ob- ject, but suggested that Mr. Philbrook might be sworn as a witness, Thereupon Mr. Philbrook, from the witness-stand, said exactly what disbarred Attorney Phil- brook from the floor could not be heard to say. 7060 T0 MARYSHILLE Company B’s Marksmen Will Compete in a Summer Shooting Contest. They Will Remain In Camp for Five Days—A Book on the Late Strike. The world’s championship for the best rifle score made by fifty marksmen which Company B, First Regiment, N. G. C. of this city now holds, has inspired Company C of the Eighth Infantry at Marysville with ambition, and accordingly an invita- tion for a shooting contest this summer has been sent to Company B, and accepted. The challenge was formally responded to at a meeting held last night. Company B secured the world’s cham- pionship last December at Schutzen Park in a shoot against Company D of the Fifth Infantry at San Rafael—a company that virtually “camps right on the range,” so to speak. It was won by only five points, however, Company B's score being 1846 and Company D’s 1841, but the victors were made doubly proud of their saccess, seeing that they were altogether unac- customed to the apparatus at Schutzen Park, and besides the range being stranlge to the men, the day was very disagreable. Previous to this phenomenal record, the championship had been held by a New York company with a score under 1800. Company B'will go to Marysville to try conclusions, and will remain in camp there from May 18 until May 21. This will probably be all the encampment they will get this summer, as there is no appropria- tion provided for a regimental encamp- ment. The First Regiment is not eager to go into camp this year, as to do_so would necessitate an assessment against each company of $400. That matter rests with Colonel Sullivan at present, thopi:h, but it is generally believed that he will defer to the wishes of the board of officers and not order any encampment at the expense of company funds. : The fifty men going to Marysville are: Captain Irving B. Cook, First Lieutenant George Filmer, Second Lieutenant Benjamin B. Sturdivant, Sergeants A. F. Ramm, H. B. Taylor, A. H. Clifford and W. N.Kelly, Cor- rals J. N. Wilson, B. E. Burdick, A, MeCul- Yooch and L. R. Townsend, Musicians J. Gilky- son ana Paul Rupp,and Privates P.L. Ban- nan, F. Baumgariner, J. Brien, G. Claussenius, M. Claussenius, W. W. Crowley, W. J.

Radke, R. E. Wilson and§, E. Allen. The champion shot of the company is Charles Perry, who averaged 45 for the twelve company shoots of 1894, and the oldest shot is Corporal Townsend. It was at Sacramento a_year ago last December that Company B first came into promi- nence for good marksmanship. It made the highest score of four companies, for a squad of thirty men, which was 1234, Com- any C of the first making 1226, and the Marysville company scoring 1134. The crack company of the State had until then been Company F of the Eighth Regiment of Oroville. On this occasion it came out third best, Tt is not a usual thing for a militia com- fianiw 50 into literature, but Company B as had the courage to distinguish itself in Eettmg up a history of the part it took at acramento during the railroad strike last July. This history fills a book of 200 pages, isillustrated by about forty p}xow-engrnv- ings and is sparkling with native humor. A particularly interesting sketch of camp life, decidedly characterigtic, is from the pen of Michael Hayes. The book is altogether the work of the men of the company, the writing having been done by a committee, consisting of Lieutenant George Filmer, Sergeant A. McCulloch, Corporal M. D. O’Brien and Private William M. Hayes, a brief history of the company from the time of its or- ganization, March 3, 1854, having been contributed by Captain Cook. It isen- titled “The City Guard,” by which sobriquet the company is known. The police of New York Citx are en- gmed in taking a census and the returns will be tabulated by electric machines, which register the ts and figures by means of perforated cards, no writing be- ing necessary. HURRYING ON THE WORK. Directors of the Valley Rail- road Push Matters Rapidly. A COMMITTEE ON THE TIES, Building Materials and Rails WIII Be on the Ground in Sixty Days. The directors of the San Joaquin Valley Railroad held a protracted meeting yester- day and found everything connected with the great enterprise over which they pre- side in a most satisfactory condition. They withdrew a request for a franchise along Commerce street in Stockton, upon the recommendation of Chief Engineer Storey. This was intended for a spur track across Mormon Channel a few blocks from Taylor street where the main line runs. On going over the ground more carefully asecond time it was deemed most advis- able to eliminate the Commerce-street spur, and perhaps later on to substitute it with a more useful switch along Mormon Channel. i 2 3 The question of purchasing ties and tie plates was fully discussed. Some differ- ence of opinion arose as to which would be the better ties, 7x8 inches without tie plates or 6x8inches with tie plates. No conclusion was reached upon it and Directors Whittier, Payson and Stetson were appointed a committee to investigate the matter and report to the board as soon as possible. The size, quality, resisting powers of different timbers, etc., for ties will be con- sidered by the committee without delay, and immsdiuwli @ report is submitted the directors will ask for bids on_ties and pos- sibg tie plates for twenty miles of track, to be delivered within sixty or seventy days at Stockton. “By that time,”” remarked Director Isaac Upham yesterday, *‘the rails will be here from New York with the spikes, locomo- tives and construction-cars, and building will be started right off. The 10,000 tons of rails, with all necessary ties and irons, will continue to arrive in good time there- after to keep the construction work goin, on steadily. We ought to have the roa from Stockton to Bakersfield finished and in full running order this year. Of course there may be trouble in places to get through land, but that obstruction can oniy. be temporary and at most could de- lay the work for a very short time.” Several letters from cities and towns in the San Joaquin Valley regarding rights of way, subscriptions, meetings with the di- rectors, etc., were read and acted upon. ‘They have been noticed from time to time in the CaLL. the board will in the near future go down the valley and consider the many liberal offers of citizens with due consideration. A letter from the Shandon and Chuluar railroad promotion committee, asking for a branch road to Shandon, situated about twenty-five miles southeast of San Miguel, in San Luis Obis%) County, was considered by the board. The people of Shandon cfuimed that a road to their promising town would pass through 600,000 acres of rich arable land that would contribute considerable support to the line. present, however, all efforts are concen- trated on the direct line from Stockton.
