ITISNOT INITS INTEREST The People Want a Coast Rail- road Down to Santa Cruz. VIEWS OF LEADING CITIZENS. The Silurians of San Mateo Counted Upon to Fight Against Bonding. HALFMOON BAY. people of Halfmoon April 22.—The all along the ay and €03 e of San Mateo County are a solid | phalar opposition to the boulevard proposed to be built on the east side of the county. One of the oldest residents, a gentleman who has been thirty-five years in Halimoon to a CALL represen- tive in substance: “The boulevard qu tion now agitating the county if carried would be a great detriment to us v to the coast side. It would be y wrong and totally unfair to tax the western porti would not run within fifteen miles of us. ‘Why? For the simple reason that it would naturally divert and draw all the traffic to the San Mateo side, and would not benefit Halfmoon Bay or Pescadero in the least. The west side has been fighting for years to get a coast railroad which should go right along by the ocean down to Santa Cruz, and eventually join the Santa Fe system. There are five districts in San Mateo, with five Supervisors, the First District of which is the center, Colma, Su- pervisor Jacob Bryan; the Second, San Mateo, Supervisor Brown; the Third D: trict, Redwood City, Supervisor P. H. Mc- Evoy; the Fourth District, Halfmoon Bay, Supervisor Peter Bu d the Fifth District, Pescadero, Supervisor H. B. Adair. Ii the county were bonded for a boule- vard the scheme would have to be put to a vote of the people, and would include v bit of taxable proper 1 the county the bonds. To car t the scheme ion would have to be carried s vote. Three-quarters of t side of the de there are enough voters to make even a decent But the hope of the coast side lies n the knowledge that in the interior there for a road which | | kin or the imagery of an Emerson. The | entire drive is simply a succession of pano- | ramas, so varied and yet so beautiful as to | make the best descriptive writer pause be- | fore attempting to sketch them. There are hills which are almost perpendicular | in their ascent; gulches, hundreds of feet | deep, in which giant redwood trees mingle | with the great white flowers of the dog- wood, the crimson of the red currant. the | ereamy tints of the ironwood and all the other glories of a virgin forest growth. The variety of timber is almost endless, the foliage a dream of color and the air as pure ana balmy as the breath of a babe. | In ascending, the hills rise above the visi- | tor like majestic giants robed in perennial | verdure. From the summit the visitor | gazes down into richly cultivated valleys, | fields of grain and tiny brooks of silvered water. The tourist is only twenty miles, as the crow flies, from Ban Francisco, yet he is in a miniature Switzerland minus the | ice and snow. | Theride from San Mateo to Halfmoon | Bay is just thirteen and seven-eighths miles in length, and every foot of it fur- nishes a scenic feast for the lover of nature. For a considerable part of the route the visitor drives by the series of Crystal Springs Lakes, eleven miles in length, and at one place crosses them. The huge dam, 110 feet high, which con- sion cattle on Government land and in tak- ing care of them his father had to live in a mud house, called in Spanish a casa de lodo. Asked how these were built he re- plied that first posts were set in the ground on four corners and willow saplings p}nced at close intervals all around. The inter- stices were then filled up with good o}d- fashioned adobe mud. Layers of tule tied with rawhide formed the roof, and the casa de lodo was an accomplished m:g. Don Pablo Vasquez was asked, jokingly, if he was any relation to the dead bandit of | that surname, and he replied, seriously : “Yes, he was my first cousin, but I never saw him in my life.” He has in his pos- session a copy of the Costanso diary of 1769, when Don Gaspar de Portola was Gov- ernor. The original diary is in the Sutro Library and relates chiefly to the discovery of San Francisco and the settlement of the Santa Clara Valley. Don Pablo has also in his possession several very rare and valuable Spanish documents over 200 years old. Festooned with foliage of every kind, smothered in an indescribable wealth of roses, and the windows hidden by creepers, | the visitor who pauses on the bridge at | Halfmoon Bay looks down on & deserted | house still in good preservation but utterly | abandoned. It was built years ago on the | bed of the creck which is spanned by the day. Last month the creamery bought over 400,000 pounds of milk and the value of the products was about $1500. Another prominent industry is that of R. T. Knapp, who is the patentee and manufacturer of a side-hill plow, so neces- sary in the mountains. Itis used forland- breaking, vineyard, orchard and general farming work. Mr. Knapp established water works in 1885 and enlarged his sys- tem this year. He has a reservoir holding 1,000,000 gallons three miles from town and distributes water all over through 10-inch mains. It isfine spring water. The gen- tleman is a strong temperance man and has erected a drinking fountain for general use and presented it to the town. THE MO088 BEACH HOUSE. Seven miles from Halfmoon Bay on the beach and the road to Colma, in the town- ship known as the *“Colony,” thereisa lovely resort known as the Moss Beach House, where good bathing can be en- joyed, and sea moss, abalones, shells and curios can be collected and gathered ad libitum. The location isone of extreme loveliness, and the resort is owned by a most progressive German, J. F. Wienke. Cottages surround the house and stages connect it with Colma. The legal and judicial interests of Half- moon are represented by Mr. John Pitcher, Justice of the Peace,a pleasant and uni- fines the waters of the reservoir, is 60 feet { bridge, and is to-day a picturesque home, | versally respecte1 gentleman.

The waters average a depth of ninety feet in the middle and are the home of the game trout and the equally plucky black bass. Spanishtown, or Halfmoon Bay, was orig- inally settled about forty-five years ago, mostly by Spaniards, as its old name im- plies. It has two churches, both liberally supported, the one a Methodist organiza- tion and the other Roman Catholic, known as “Nuestra Senora de Pilar.” There are lodges of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, the Freemasons, United Ancient Order of Druids, Ancient Order of | = . A GLIMPSE OF THE TOWN. great many ians who would vote t the boulevard if it did not run their property, and benefit them pecuniarily. So the only thing to squelch the proposition. is to let the proper owners on the other side of the coun beat them: S. Mr. Fer d Levy thought that it would be estly unjust to tax any of the citizens for a road that would be a detri- ment to them. He also remarked that when the ocean side wanted to run a coast rail- road the opposite side of the county re- ceived the scheme with arctic frigidity, and that it was only natural that the coast people should oppose a plan which would cost them money and hurt them if carried through. Frank H. Owen, proprietor of the Coast Advocate, a paper entirely devoted to the interests of the county, said regard- ing the meeting recently held at Redwood City: “It was held to talk up a proposi- tion to bond the county for funds with which to build a boulevard from San Fran- cisco to the south line of Mateo County. It was conceded at this meeting, as it is by all who have given the matter any thought, that bonding the county is the only way to obtain the necessary funds.” He doubted, however, whether the people weuld vote the bonds. Oppo- sition from the coast side was both feared and expected and it would be very decided unless the scheme embraced a good road from San Mateo to Pescadero. Without that every one would object to the building of a road along the bay. The coast wanted roads as much as any other section of the county and demanded that its needs be considered in connection with those of the bay side. The present highway was a disgrace and was good only when the weather was good. A smooth road was demanded from which tourists and visitors could enjoy the ex- quisite mountain scenery between San Ma- teo and Halfmoon Bay and the delightful journey to Pescadero, eighteen miles fur- ther on. If the whole county was to be taxed, the whole county should receive the benefit of the project. It will be seen, therefore, that Mr. Owen is as practical as he is progressive. He only wants fair play, and would be glad to see a boulevard con- structed as long as the coast was not left out in the cold. A road was wanted over which every draught horse could haul a ton winter or summer. It would not cost more than the county could afford and would pay for itself in actual cash, to say nothing of_ satisfaction, within three or four years. It will be seen, therefore, that just at present San Mateo County is a house slightly divided against itself, but it would seem only just that if it be bonded to make a boulevard the coast line, if equally taxed, should be equally benefited. There are thousands of San Franciscans and Californians generally who have lived here for over a score of yearsand who think they know all about the natural beauties and the glorious scenery of the State. Yet not one of them, perhaps, ever rode over the mountains from San Mateo to Halfmoon Bay. To describe the ex- quisite beauty of the hills, gorges and canyons would require the pen of a Rus- | United Workmen and Native Sons. The leading hotel is the Seaside, kept by Mrs. 8. Cerrero and her husband, who is a chef de cuisine of rare ability. Another hotel, “The Occidental,” will shortly be opened | and is now being furnished for the recep- | tion of guests. | Halfmoon Bay is a charming summer | resort, for itaffordsamusement of all kinds. | The ocean y1elds every spegies of fish to be found in the San Francisco markets, and within four miles there is excellent moun- tain trout-fishing. The visitor can get sal- mon trout without leaving the city, and | game of all kinds is abundant in the hills. | Then comes the beach drive of nearly | although without doors or windows. The | owner was a Mr. Rockefeller, a cousin of | the Standard Oil king, but his home, | almost on the level of the creek, was one | day menaced by a winter flood. As the | waters rose the bank cut away from the | foundations and got behind the house. In | an effort to save the piano the instrument | was raised on wooden trestles four feet | high, but the flood was relentless and ac- | complished its work of ruin, leaving the house a relic of an unwise site, but to-day standing as primly as ever, environed with willows, clematis, and an unkempt wealth of bushes and flowers. Heavy-bearing fruit trees, now in blossom, surround the doomed house, and the scene suggests Goldsmith’s “Deserted Village.” Halfmoon Bay points with pride toa good grammar school equipped with five excellent teachers. The youth of the com- munity has no right to complain of a lack of educational facilities. A month ago the Sunday ten of these machines were cavort- ing madly around the streets with more to hear from in the near future. stone near Halfmoon Bay and petrolenm and bituminous rock are only waitinga railroad to make their existence felt most profitably. There are timber, endless masses of granite, tanbark and other crude staples all waiting for the coast railroad. §INorth of Halfmoon Bay is essentially a vegetable country, although adapted to various kinds of agricultural products and dairying. Handicapped as the farmersare with the necessity of hauling their crops by team over the heavy mountain grades, the section north of San Pedro Mountain | bas shipped 17,000,000 pounds of cabbage to the Chicago market and sold nearly as much in San Francisco in a single season, besides enormous quantities of green peas, beans and root crops, for the growth of which the soil and climate are particularly adapted. As to milk, butter and small fruits the supply is practically inex- haustible in a district where the grass is green for nine months in the year and in which four crops can be raised every twelve months. A curious relic of early days is an adobe house built in 1850 by con- tract by Francisco Barriesa. Among the prominent merchants is the best dips in Monterey, Coronado or Santa Cruz surfs. Halfmoon Bay never having attained railroad facilities is naturally peopled by conservative citizens. But though con- servative they are in the main progressive and full of energy, looking to a boom in the New California of the future. ‘Where there are so many solid citizens in this little comriunity it is difficult to know of whom to speak first, but the old- est settler is entitled to the honor and he is to be found in the person of Don Pablo Vasquez, for forty-seven yearsa resident of Halfmoon Bay, and the son of the foreman of the Mission Dolores ranch, established by Junipero Serra long before San Fran- cisco was ushered into existence. He tolda representative of the CALL yesterday that the Franciscan fathers used to run the mis- seven miles with bathing that is equal to | PICTURESQUE CHIMNEY ROOK. Ferdinand Levy of Levy Bros., who has lived here for twenty-three years and con- ducts a store for general merchandise, be- sides owning a large warehouse full of agri- cultural implements. He is always ready to push the interests of Halfmoon Bay and is especially interested in the success of the vroposed coast railroad. In addition to the other interests of the firm Levy Bros. carry the agencies of four first-class insur- ance companies, But if there is one industry more than another of which Halfmoon Bay is proud it is its creamery. The local paper says in its issue of April 10: “The new Sharpless cream-separator has been set up in the creamery and works beautifully. Its capagity i.s 2500 pounds an hour. The creamery is making considerable cheese now and will while the price of butter is so low, the output being about 300 nounds per bicycle craze attacked the town, and last | There is no end to the deposit of lime- | The oldest settler in the community, without counting Mr. Vasquez, who was born here, is William Pringle, who has a harness-shop and thinks there is nothing like leather. It would require too much space to de- scribe the beaunties of Purissimo Falls, Chimney Rock, Seal Rock and other points of interest; but it would be unfair to close this article without a good word for the Coast Advocate, the paper which is all in all to Halfmoon Bay. The editor, Frank H. Owen, is a native of Oregon, and has been in the newspaper business from his early boyhood. . At four- teen years of age he was apprenticed as a printer, and six months after serving his four years’ “time” became a newspaper editor and publisher, by reason of his em- ployer failing to pay the wages he had earned. The young man was compelled to take the paper in settlement of the debt. Later Mr. Owep came to California and, after marrying, returned to Oregon, where for a number of years he was foreman of the daily Evening Telegram of Portland. Getting tired of working for wages, and believing his talent as a writer would yield a better income than that paid a printer, he went over to Washington, then a Terri- tory, and bought the Chehalis Bee, and soon made it the leading country newspa- per of Western Washington. After engaging in several other success- ful newspaper enterprises, Mr. Owen em- barked in land speculation at a time when all Oregon and Washington was wild over boom townships, and, as might have been expected, lost the money he had made while engaged in the business he was familiar with. Hethen came to California again, traveled the State all over, decided that while this was the garden of the world, S8an Mateo was the gem of the gar- den, and there he has his home. Mr. Owen is a stanch Republican and something of a politician. If he has a hobby it is that of county roads, and believes that the building of first-class turnpike roads are only second in importance in the develop- ment of a country to railroads. He is heartily in accord with the CALL on its boulevard proposition, providing that the scheme is broad enough to build a coast turnpike at the same time. While his newspaper, the Coast Adyocate, is not a large one, it is all home print and always filled with original matter, a feature of which is articles descriptive of the attrac- tions and resources of the county. He has an accomplished wife, who is also a writer of considerable ability. RIOTOUS NEGKOES. They Terrovize the White People in the Town of Bath, N. C. RALEIGH, N.C., April 23.—News has reached here that a large mob of negroes Saturday attempted to take possession of the town of Bath. They are employes at the sawmills and were angry because some of them had been arrested by town officers. They entered stores and barrooms, helped themselves, and threatened people with death. They wounded four deputy Sheriffs, and so terrorized the people that they locked themselves in their houses to save their lives. Telegrams were sent to the town of ‘Washington, sixteen miles away, for aid and a company of troops was put at the disposal- of the Sheriff. Sunday morning the people of Bath started out to arrest the leading rioters. They captured five. One of them named Lanier resisted and fired at the posse, and was shot and mortally wounded. The other prisoners were taken to Washington in a boat. An attempt was made by the negroes to release them, but the attempt was foiled by the arrival of the militia on a steamer. All was quiet at Bath to-day. The ring- leader of the mob, Thomas Renner, is still at large. —_— An Informer Goes Imsane. NASHVILLE, TesN., April 22.—_A Chat- tanooga special says: Sam Frazier, the man who had betrayed his‘companions who had entered into a conspiracy to hold upand rob the train at Greenwood, and which resulted in the death of Tom and Jere Morrow, has become a raving maniac. He was confined in the jail at Somerset by the officials, who at first believed he was feigning insanity, but he has developed an unmistakable case of lunacy and has been sent to the ipsane asylum near Somerset, Ky.

KILLED AT CALLAHAN. Henry Hayter Shot to Death by William : Nulls. THE CRIME UNPROVOKED. Murdered Because He Refused to Sign His Name to a Deed. WAS TRYING TO GET AWAY. He Receives a Charge of Shot in His Back While Riding From the Assassin’s Cabin. YREKA, CaL., April 22.—Sheriff Hobbs received the following telegram this morning: “CALLAHAN, CaL., April 22, 8:20 A. M. W. L. Hobbs, Sheriff, Yreka: Henry Hayter was shot to death yesterday even- ing by William M. Nulls, who is supposed to be at his cabinon Sugar Creek. Come to Etna. Nullsis a hard character. A. H. Bar.” Hayter’s dying words to A. B. Chambers were that he (Hayter) rode up to Nulls’ cabin and Nulls came out and told Hayter that he wanted him to sign a deed with him to some mining property being trans- ferred to other parties. Hayter said he would not do it and Nulls said he would shoot him if he refused. They quarreled, and Nulls stepped into the house and got his gun. Hayter was mnot armed and started to ride away when Nulls shot him in the back. Hayter was but thirty or forty feet away. Hayter said that after he was about 200 yards away he fainted and fell from his horse. Recovering later he remounted and rode to James Sullivan’s house, where he died about 5 o’clock this morning. Under Sheriff Radford and others are scouring the country around Callahan for Nulls, who fled to the hills. They are confident of his capture. e Killed by His Father Near Salem. PORTLAND, Or., April 22. — Jacob Swartz, the young man who was stabbed in the neck three weeks ago by his father, near Salem, has died from the effects of his wounds. The father stabbed the son in a drunken rage. CANADIAN ciric \MPLAINT, Officials Say Eastbound Rates Are Being Cut by Iowa Roads. CHICAGO, Itn., April 22.—The Canadian Pacific has lodged a complaint with the Western Lines Passenger Association against certain Iowa roads. The Canadian Pacific alleges they are manipulating east- bound rates in San Francisco. It says the offending lines have made large deals with brokers and are paying them $2 commis- sions in excess of those authorized to regu- lar agents. Chairman Caldwell has investigated the matter and has found that second-class rates are being cut $3 to Chicago through the Missouri River gateway. It is also said that the northern lines have been.of- fending in the manner as flagrantly as any Missouri River line. GRESHAM IN NEW YORK. The Secretary of State Consults With Prominent Financiers. NEW YORK, N. Y., April 22.—Secretary of State Gresham, who came to New York Sunday, spent most of his time to-day with the ex-Secretary of the Treasury Bristow and J. W. Doane, a wealthy banker, who is also receiver and govern- ment director of the Union Pacific Rail- road. Mr. Gresham was closeted with the gentleman, it was said, until the very mo- ment of his departure for Washington. To callers this afternoon and this morn- ing word was sent that the Secretary was too busy to see anybody. Neither Mr. Bristow nor Mr. Doane could be seen to- night. Ll CHICAGO INQUIRER. That Is the Name of the New Democratio Daily Newspaper. SPRINGFIELD, IrL., April 22.—Papers of incorporation were filed with the Secre- tary of State for a new daily and weekly Democratic newspaper in the city of Chi- cago, to be known as the Inquirer, the capital stock being $1,000,000. Among the incorporators whose namesare given are: Judge Samuel P. McConnell, president of the Iroquois Club; Frank Wenter, late Democratic candidate for Mayor of Chi- cago; ex-Mayor John P. Hopkins, Delos F. Phelps and Edward T. Noonan. The policy of the new paper on the financial question has not fet been fully deter- mined. McConnell came out recently for free silver. R R Railroad Speed Record Brokem. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., April 22.—The fastest time ever made between here and Atlantic City and the fastest time ever made by a railroad train in this country for such a great distance was that accom- plished by the special newspaper train on the Pennsylvania road yesterday morning. The train pulled out of the Camden depot at 5:36}% and 45 minutes later came to a stop in Atlantic City. The distance is 58 3-10 miles, and the average speed was 7614 miles an hour. The fastest mile was made in 41 seconds, which is an average of 87 8-10 miles an hour. Thisis the most notable perform- ance in railroad speed which has yet been made. SR v I i Conway’s Suit Against Mitchell. MILWAUKEE,Wis., April 22.—The trial of the suit against United States Senator John L. Mitchell, whom Sculptor John 8. Conway sued to recover $25,000, alleged to have been promised for work on a soldiers’ monument, to be erected in a local park, began to-day. Senator Mitchell denied that he ever said he would spend $25,000 or $30,000 for such a monument. What he did say was to the effect that he would not spend more than $25,000 or $30,000. Briefly, Senator Mitchell’s version is that he employed Mr. Conway to do the work with the right to discharge him at any time he saw fit. 5 e Wt DOVER, Der!, April 22.—One ballot was taken to-day for United States Senator. It resulted: Higgins 6, Addicks 6, Massey 3, Pennewill 2, Ridgely 10, Tunnel 1. ~ il iny Dugquesnesboro, Pa., Burned. PITTSBURG, PA., April 22.—Almost the entire business portion of Duquesnesbor- ough, opposite McKeesport, on the Mo- nongahela River, was destroyed by fire of a supposed incendiary origin, which broke outat4 a. m. The loss is variously esti- mated at $80,000 to $100,000. Duquesnes- borough is whelly without apparatus, and the bucket brigade offered the only resist- ance to the flames. The high wind drove the fire up the hillside, and everything in its path was destroyed. The town is panic- stricken owing to a lack of water and fire apparatus. Little insurance was carried by the property-owners, the insurance premiums being almost prohibitive. ———— Will Eject Pullman Tenants. CHICAGO, Tris., April 22.—The Pull- man Palace Car Company has begun sery- ing notices upon tenants who are behind in their rents that unless they pay the amount due the company suit will be brought to forcibly eject them from the houses. ¢ One hundred and fifty notices were to- day placed in the hands of Constables to serve upon tenants. Those who have been served with notices say they have no money to pay the back rents. Some of them are in arrears ten months, while others are only two and three months behind. The majority of the ten- ants are discharged employes of the com- pany. Texas and Free Silver. AUSTIN, Texas, April 22.— Abopt seventy-five silverites in the Texas Legis- lature held a caucus to-night in which they swore allegiance to a 16 to 1 ratio. They appointed committees to formulate plans by which an active siiver canvass can be made of the State, and decided in se- lecting nominees for the State ticket two years hence the lines should be strictly drawn as to silver. Ex-Senator now Railroad Commissioner Ragan, was in attendance and spoke in favor of free silver. Governor Culberson was present but took no part in the pro- oeedings. S Aymar Bound Over. NEW YORK, N. Y., April 22.—Samuel E. Aymar, the defaulting bookkeeper of the Shoe and Leather Bank, was arraigned before United States Commissioner Shields at 3 o’clock this afternoon and pleaded not guilty. At the suggestion of the District Attor- ney his bail was fixed at $15000. Aymar was taken to the Ludlow-street jail. In the affidavit of Cashier Cole, on which the warrant was issued, Aymar was charged with having altered the accounts of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company so that it read of $351,801 instead of $371,301. This alteration was made March 1, 1895. R S A 8t. Lowis Bridge Trust Investigation. ST. LOUIS, Mo., April 22.—At 2:30 o’clock this afternoon the Illinois Senate Investigation Committee opéned its ses- sions in East St. Louis to hear further tes- timony on the bridge trust investigation.

Ford has also petitioned the Bishop to interfere. A Railroad Suit Dropped. NEW YORK, N. Y. April 22.—The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad Company has discontinued the action brought against the Mercantile Trust Com- pany to restrain the defendant from selling 6 per cent bonds of the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad Company.

CHICAGO, IrL., April 22.—Alonzo Sny- der has confessed to having systematically robbed the Second Baptist Church for over ten years. He confessed to having taken $2000, but it is asserted the amount is nearer $10,000. Snyder was a general util- ity man employed by the church. The money was taken from collections and pew rentals. The culprit has been discharged and will not be prosecuted. Snyder was once well-to-do, but lost everything in the great fire. si e A Dr. Buchanan’s Last Hope. SING SING, N. Y., April 22.—Warden Sage has fixed Wednesday, at 11 A. m., for the execution of Dr. Buchanan. His wife was with him for over two hours yester- day.
