THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WED DAY, JULY 31, 1895. HISTORY OF A DAY IN CALIFORNIA AND HER SISTER COMMONWEALTHS. VALLEY ROAD PROGRESS, The Grading South of Mormon Channel Nearly Com- pleted. ALL THE WORK BEING RUSHED. A Speclal Effort Being Made to Commence Track-Laying This Week. | | | STOCKTON, Car., July 30.—Within a | week the grading of the entire roadbed of " the San Francisco and San Joaquin Valley | road will be completed south of Mormon | Channel and the contractors will be ready | to start on the section between that body of water and Stockton Channel. | Tavlor street from El Dorado to Edison streets is now ready for the rails and ties, and the latter street is graded up to within 500 feet of the channel, where the steel drawbridge is to be constructed. Work will be commenced at once on the eastern | end of Taylor street to the city limits. This will be necessary. as the first track will probably be laid from the Southern Pacific Company’s line on Sacramento treet, in order to make use of the engines t are now being put in order on the near the Southern Pacific freight All preparations are being made to begin | track-laying as soon as the grading on the portion south of Mormon Channel is com- pleted. Track-laying will probably be | commenced this week, and the contractors are working with this idea in view. They | now have 185 men at work and €5 teams, | and intend to put on more teams this week. | They will have their contract for the work | south of the channel completed long be- fore the time specified in their agreement with the Valley road expires. Their grade in some parts is quite steep, in many | s being as much as four feet above | cial grade, as Engineer Storey has determined to prevent the tracks being | flooded in event of high water. Everything is now ready to commence | dnving piles for the trestle across Mormon | Channel, above the present Lincoln-street | drawbridge. This work will be pushed to | early completion. Just as soon as Thorn- ton & Co. finish the grading south of the channel they will begin on the other sec- | tion, which they claim can be finished in a third less time than the other. There is a great deal of filling to be done along Edison street, but the contractors are dredging to secure the necessary earth for this purpose. Dne of the contractors said to-night that this section counld be fin- ished easily within two weeks from the time of commencement. This portion is that which connects with the water front along Stockton Channel, which the direc- | tory of the road claim the Corral Hollow people are trying to shut them out of. | Chis trouble wili be obviated by the grant- | ing of the 230 feet additional in front ofi the sheds of the steamboat company. This | the City Council ow pledged to do. | The contractors who are doing the grad- ing inside of the city limits intend to put| in a bid for grading the track between East street and the Stanislaus River, a sec- tion of some twen ve miles, Thereisa | great deal of adobe soil along this line and the sooner the work is commenced the | easier it will be for the contractors. Alto- gether it is estimated that there will| be about 150,000 cubic yards of earth to move along this twemy-‘ five miles of road. If the men who have the contract for the inside work are suc- | cessful they can begin work without an hour’s delay, as they have their force ready to vegin. The bids for this portion to the Stanislaus River will be opened in | 8an Francisco on Monday, and the Stock- ton people are very anxious that the focal | men should be suctessful. Chief Engineer | Storey and the superintendent of construe- | tion went over this portion of the road early this week. | ENGINEER STOREY'S REPORT. He Tells of the Work Done on the FValley Road. The directors of the San Joaquin Valiey Railway met yesterday at 321 Market street. Among the more important pro- | ceedings werea report from Chief Engineer | £ | Storey, on the progress of operations on | the new railroad and action upon con- | tracts for a trestle bridge in Stuckton, and | a telegraph line down the valley. The board purchased 700 tons of rails, | 56-pound quality, from a local bank. | These rails were brought here from Eng-| land for a railroad enterprise some years | ago, bat that corporation fell by the way- | gide, leaving the rails with a bank that | had advanced money on the project. They ! will now be used for the side tracks on the | Vailey road. The price at which they were secured was much below the present market rate. { A contract for a trestl> over Mormon Slough in Stockton was let to John Worthington of this City. The trestle will be built at once, some of the material for | it being already at Stockton. and it isto serve as a crossing for a continuation of Mormon Channel at a point where the waterway is not navigable. The contract for erecting a telegraph line along the railway was presented by | Attorney E. F. Preston and_ accepted by | the board on terms proposed by the Pacific | Postal Telegraph Company, as previously | announced in TaE CALL. In his verbal report the chief engineer | stated that the work at Stockton was pro- | gressing very favorably, and within two | weeks the road will be graded to the city | limits. Then contractors will be ready to | continue the grading through the open country over the first division to the Stan- islaus River. The two locomotives in Stockton that arrived last week were care- fully inspected by Mr. Storey, and he ex- pressed himself as delighted with them: Machinists are connecting the pipes and other parts of the machinery, which work will be finished this week, and then the | first two powerful engines of the Valley road’s equipment will be tested. It won't be long until they are puffing and scream- ing through Stockton, for there is work ahead for them in stringine out the “twenty miles” of steel rails, redwood ties and other material for track purposes, and that will be started at the furthest within two weeks from now. In his report Mr. Storey reviewed the vast amount of work performed by the Apollinarss “THE QUEEN OF TABLE WATERS." Supplied under Royal Warrants to Her Majesty the Queen of England, and to His Royal Highness the Prince | grandmother. | sons, Ralph H. and F. B. Abbott. of Wales. three sarveying parties, all of which has appeared in THE CaLn. He also gave his views from a personal inspection of the staked-out x-o.adl to _the Stanislaus River, over which he walked last week—a dis- tance of twenty-five miles. The route was the best that could be chosen and led up to a most feasible crossing over the river. Speaking of the Corral Hollow raiiroad’s franchise in Stockton, in which there were many things to harass the Valley road Mr. Storey said: “We came out of the fight no better off than when we went in, except for a promise by the Council. If the prom- ise is kept and the Council can deliver the goods, we will be allright; but [ am afraid they will not be able to do for us what they seem to want to do. They granted the iranchise as asked for by the Corral Hol- low people, but promised to give us 200 feet more ground on the water front. I undersmn\Fthnt objections to giving us the extra 200 feet of franchise are already being made, and before the sixty days elapse, which time muet ensue before the franchise can be granted us, many more objections may be made and the project defeated. We cannot help it, but regret indeed that Stockton should at this stage of the work hamper us.” ABDUCTION AT SAK JOSE Mrs. Rothe Took lllegal Posses~ sion of Her Five-Year- Old Boy. Her Husband Complained Against Her for Violating a Court Order. SAN JOSE, Cax, July 30.—William A. | Rothe, a motorman on the First-street | railroad, last night swore to a complaint | before Justice Gass charging his wife with | abducting their 5-year-old boy.

Shamp, who found his wife entertaining Dean in the house ata | rather late hour in the morning, was re- leased on §500 bail this morning. Mr. and Mrs. Shamp are not on very amicable terms, and of late the wife has been re- ceiving the attentions of Dean. Last Sun- { day morning Shamp was awakened by | hearing Dean in the house, and a fight ensued, in which Shamp had decidedly the best of it. The ln\lsbnngimmadimely came to town and swore {o a warrant charging Dean with burglary. Dean’s examination is set for August 6. Robber Devine Held for Trial. SAN JOSE, CaL., July 30.—John Devine was examined before Justice Herrington of Santa Clara this morning on a charge of robbery and held to answer before the Superior Court.

Imprisoned for Contempt. SAN JOSE, Car., July 30.—Rube Ruiz was tried before Justice Dwyer and a jury this morning on a charge of beating C. C. Stroud out of a board bill and acquitted.

SUISUN, CaL., July 30.—Last Sunday a return game of baseball was played be- tween the Winters and Suisan nines. Be- tween two players, George Morris of the former nine and Frank Larkin, Suisun’s catcher, ill feeling has existed for some time, as the result of cross-firing on the diamond. After the game was over and while re- turning to town, they met on the railroad and a quarrel ensued. Morris, in his ex- citement, struck his antagonist on the head with a bat, rendering him uncon- eemus.x Morris was placed under arrest by Deputy Sheriff Downing, and the Suisun player was carried to his home. Larkin lies in a critical condition to- night, and his recovery is considered ex- tremely doubtful. bR e Mysterious Stabbing at Woodland.t WOODLAND, Cav., July 80.—A stabbing affray took place at Grand Isiand this afternoon in which Harry Curtiss, the nephew of W.

Reputed Flerce and Viclous Brutes Apparently Awed by Thelr Surroundings. SANTA BARBARA, CAL,, July 30.—Gay pennants floating and flags waving pro- claimed the opening of the unigue exhibi- tion at the fair grounds to-day. The entire Spanish-American population, which the day before had given the bicycle races luke- warm attention, turned out in full force, and with it came a fashionable society at- tendance, drawn thither by the desire to witness the reproduction of a spectacle of the historical town—a genuine bull-baiting, such as was once a weekly occurrence in the old Plaza de la Guerra. The entertainment opened with prelim- inary exercises of breaking wild broncos, a display of fine horsemanship and skillful use of the lasso by Spanish-American va- queros. Then the great event of the day was her- alded by the plunge of a great Durham pull into the arena. The animal was big and strong and fierce iooking enough to promise rare sport for excitement lovers, but after one look at the thousands of faces staring at him over the fence he cow- ered to one side of the arena in fear and terror. Then Guadaloupe Rosales, clad in a gen- uine matador costume of scarlet plush waistcoat and knee-breeches, trimmed and embroidered with silver braid, said to be a professional bull-fighter from the City of Mexico in reduced circumstances, with Jose Espinosa, in pink and white, and Vi- cente Valenzuela, in red and white, ad- vanced upon the bull, launting gay scarfs in his face. The fierce beast, the terror of the place where he was reared, the savage and invincible man-eater from thn S8an Marcos rancho, turned tail and ran, hotly pursued by the matadors. Horsemen next descended upon the ani- mal with lassos and threw him to the earth, where a stout cinch was fastened around him, and Espinosa attempted to fulfill his boasted promise to ride on the bull’s horns. The bull rose to his feet, with head hanging to the ground, placing Espinosa in an attitude far from gracefal, and obstinately maintained this posture for five minutes. His ear was violently twisted and he began to prance, and the first move threw the rider in the dust. The now thoroughly enraged animal dashed about the arena, bellowing and plunging, first aiming at the horsemen, then at the men on foot. For a time the spectacle was quite up to the ancient standard, with the brilliantly dressed ath- letes shaking their scarfs in the animal's eyes, then skillfully dodging or running to cover when the bull made a fierce direct attack. But the animal’s fury soon sub- sided and’ it was only by repeated throw- ing with the lasso and jerking him about the arena at the end of ropes and battering him on the nose with a plank’ that the brute was maintained in a fighting temper. Once one old vaquero on horseback, old Chemango, jumped to the ground and en- eaged in the sport, doing the best work of the day but exposing himself so recklessly that on one occasion he was thrown to the ground and rolled over by the enraged ani- mal, but regained his feet unhurt, The next feature of the programme was the baiting of a small white heifer, weigh- ing perhaps 400 pounds. Of the work done with this poor little animal the least said the better. It was finally permitted to escape from the pit with a bleeding nose and bathed in sweat. In the alleyway leading to the stalls she was designedly knocked down by a vaquero. The second bull brought into the pit was a small black and white Jersey, plainly appalled by its new surroundings—the din of music and the shouts of the spectators. All attempts to make this little creature show fight were useless until he was thrown to the ground; and Espinosa suc- ceeded in riding him several times around the pit amid laughter and applause. The animal resented this indignity by making afew fierce dashes at its tormentors, and was finally driven out. The programme contluded with an exhi- bition of fancy horsemanship by boys and young men and picking up gold pieces from the ground while riding at full gal- lop. George Van Robbins distinguished himself by graceful and skillful riding. A New Daily Newspaper. SANTA BARBARA, CaL., July 30.—A few days hence a new daily newspaper will see the light in Santa Barbara. Itisto be christened the Daily News. It will be a six-column paper, independent in politics, edited by Frank Sands. The business management will be in the hands of George P. Tebbetts, the former proprietor of the Independent. Itisnot yet settled whether it will be a morning or evening publica- tion. FOUND DEAD AT SFA. Story of the Strange Death of the Mate of the McNear., NANAIMO, B. C., July 30.—The bark McNear, Captain Petersen, just arrived from San Francisco, brings a strange story of the death of Thomas Whitmore, a na- tive of New York, aged 47, who shipped as first officer, but was presumed to have left the vessel just prior to sailing. The captain states that Whitmore came aboard on the morning of July 9, and was then apparently intoxicated. He failed to put in an appearance at dinner, excusing himself on the score of illness. At1e. M. a tug came alongside to tow the bark to sea, but the mate could not be found. After a careful search of the vessel the cap- tain concluded that Whitmore had gone ashore and accordingly shipped a new man, and left a little later the same aiter- noon. The trip was uneventful till fifteen days out, when the horribly decomposed of Whitmore was found in the lower hold. The condition of the body was such that it was impossible to make an examination, and it was at once committed to the deep. it ety ROMANCE OF TWO CITIES. August Edler Denies That He and Miss Parks Ave Wedded. SALT LAKE, Uram, July 30.—Some months ago it was announced in the Salt Lake and San Francisco papers that August Elder, an eccentric law student of this place, had wedded Emeline Parks, a daughter of Judge Parks of San Jose. Edler now claims that the alleged wedding in Ogden was a ruse, but that he and Miss Parks was married by a mutual six months’ contract. That is to say, in May possible to get at the boitom of the trouble. | of this year Edler went to Sen Francisco and they made the contract to marry m six months, provided neither tired of the agreement. 1% is said the girl’s father, who is wealthy, has tried to get her away to Honolulu, ‘and is strongly opposed to the whole scheme, Miss Parks lives at 931 Howard streer, San Jose. BRI TRS SAN RAFAEL THIEVES. Captured While Endeavoring to Dispose of Their Booty. SAN RAFAEL, CaL., July 30.—George Bruce and a man whose name is unknown who broke the lock and eatered a freight- car of the San Francisco and North Pacific Railroad at Ignacio station last Tuesday were captured by Sheriff Harrison to-day. One was captured at Bloomfield and the other at Tomales. They took from the car seventy-five pairs of ladies’;shoes. They started out to dispose of their goods, goin; through a country where the %eople 0 nof read the newspapers. But Sheriff Harri- son haa notified all officers throughout the county, and was notified Sunday that a man who represented himself to be a tram was disposing of ladies’ shoes on the roa from Petaluma to Tomales. He immedi- ately went to Tomales, and on reaching there quickly found one of his men, who had twenty-seven pairs of shoes. The other man iad gone on to Marshalls, where he was taken to-day. They will be bronght before Justice Rodden to answer the charge of burglary. CLAIMANTS FOR REWARDS, Quite a Number Already Tak- ing Credit for Brady’s Capture. Considerable Trouble Antleipated in Making the Proper Appor- tlonment. SACRAMENTO, Cirn., July 30.—Now that the long-songht-for Brady has fallen into the hands of the law, there is every prospect of a first-class row over the divi- sion of the reward. Despite the fact that the provisions under which the reward is offered are for arrest and conviction, and there is no ab- solute certainty that he will be convicted, there are a number of claimants who have already begun squabbling over the amount each should receive. In the foreground is Sheriff Johnson and his deputy, who, although they failed to secure the bandit personally, will, without doubt, be strong claimants in the divide. Justice William Johnston and Deputy Sheriff A. McDonald, who displayed their griv and courage by rushing in beneath the bridge and effecting the capture, are said to be entitled to a generous slice, and De- tectives Thacker, Snyder, Gibson, Gard and Ahern will also probably present strong reasons why they should be remem- bered. All the evidence connecting Brady with the various robberies isin the possession of the latter officers, and although the ar- rest was made through the Sheriff’s office | the formier have only to stand pat and Brady will be a free man and the reward will not materialize. 1t is also claimed that Constable Fitz- patrick of Suisun, who was in the Sheriff’s office. when word was received that Brady was in the locality of Richland, and who by invitation accompanied that official in the subsequent case, also intends putting in a bid, and there are others too numerous to mention. It seems to be the universal opinion tnat Detective Ahern, who did splendid work in locating Brady, and who followed him with the tenacity of a blood- hound, is fully entitled to the lion’s share, as it was entirely due to him that the cap- ture was efiecw&. MISS HART AT HOME. No ZTruth in the Report That She Had Eloped With Laugenour. SACRAMENTO, Carn., July 30.— The published account of the alleged elope- ment of Miss Sue Hartof this city with Assemblyman H. W. Laugenour of Wood- land 1s denied by the girl’s mother. The young woman is too ill to receive visitors. To a CALL reporter her mother said: “My daughter is utterly prostrated by the cruel reports that have been circulated about her in connection with the missing Assem- blyman. She has gone from one nervous chill to another ever since the visit of her aunt this morning, who was the first to inform her of the published account.”” Mrs, Hart, who is the widow of J. K. Hart, half-brother of General A. L. Hart and State Senator E. C. Hart, admits that her daughter visited San Francisco last week, but denies that she had anything to do with Laugenour’s departure, or that she is even acquainted with him. BRADY HAS NOT CONFESSED. The Story Said to Have Been Started by Reward-Seckers. SACRAMENTO, Car., July 30.—There is absolutely not one word of truth in the re- port that Brady has confessed to com- plicity in any of thg train robberies, or, in fact, in any other robbery, save that of the black mare he took from the Rio Benito ranch when escaping from the close pur- suit of Detective Ahern. The story, it is claimed, was started here by parties inter- | ested in the reward, for the purpose of swelling the amount, as there 1s a stand- ing reward offered by the railroad company and Wells, Fargo & Co. for each train- robbery that occurs. WILL INTERVIEW BUDD. Friends of Percy Henderson Will Inter~ cede for Him. SACRAMENTO, Carn., July 30.—Gov- ernor Budd will be visited to-morrow by a delegation from San Francisco consisting of ex-Assemblyman Bettman and Sena- tors Toner, Dunn and Percy Henderson, who will try and get him to use his influ- ence with the Board of Health to get Hen- derson appointed Superintendent of Cem- eteries. Henderson lays his failure to re- ceive his appointment from the board to the opposition of the Civic Federation, and hopes to get the Governor to interfere in his behnllg They hope to have an andi- ence with him to-morrow morning, when they will argue the matter. More Fruit for London. SACRAMENTO, Car., July 80.—The fifth shipment of California fruit was for- warded by the California Fruit Transpor- tation Company by special train to-day, consisting oglten carloads of pears, peaches, lums and nectarines, consigned to W. N. hite & Co., Covent Garden, London. ot i e UKIAB’S CONSTABLE BEATEN, He Has a Desperate Struggle With an Insane Man. UKIAH, Cav., July 30.—A warrant was sworn ou', before Justice Sullivan yester- day for the arrest of Joseph Seabolstoffer, charging him with insanity. Seabolstoffer lives near Low Gap, and had burned his house and barn. The warrant was placed in the hands of Constable L. L. Harbert, who went out to brin&m his man. The Constable found him this morning at the scene of the fire. Constable Harbert tried to get Seabolstoffer to accompany him to Ukiah, but the wily fetlow could not be fooled, and immediately began to beat the Constable with a heavy cane. A blow over the eye felled Harbert, who drew hir re- volver and fired, hitting his man in the leg. A rough-and-tumbe scuffle followed, 1n which Constable Harbert came out best, but was compelled to use his revolver as a billy. Seabolstoffer is now in jail awaiting is examination, [VENGEANEE WAS PROMPT, A Double Tragedy Enacted in a Lower California Seaport. MURDER OF AN OFFICIAL. His Assassin Shot Down Within Flve Minutes After the Cowardly Act. SAN DIEGO, CaL., July 30.—Antonio Banuet, chief of the Custom-house at San Quintin, Lower California, was shot and killed at Rosario, forty-eight miles below San Quintin, yesterday morning. His slayer was Juan Barrosc, an employe of the Custom-house. Within five minutes Barroso also lay dead on the body of the man he had murdered. He was killed by Justice of the Peace Policarpio Espinoza, in whose office the tragedy occurred. Last Saturday Banuet received word that a quantity of plunder, supposed to be con- traband goods from an English smuzgling schooner, had been found on the beach north of Rosario, and that thieves were taking it away. He sent Barroso to pro- tect it, and soon after went himself to help bring the stuff to San Quintin. Yesterday morning he ordered Barroso to take a telegram to San Quintin, and the latter refused. A bitter quarrel resulted, and Banuet, not desiring further trouble, turned on his heel. Barroso sprang to a rifle standing in a corner and shot Banuet in the back, killing him instantly. Judge Espinoza was the only witness of the cowardly shooting, and he attempted to arrest Barroso. but the latter refused to be taken, and drew a revolver and fired several times at Espinoza. To escape be- ing riddled Espinoza ran around the house and there met a rurale with a loaded rifle. Snatching it, he returned and shot Bar- roso dead in his tracks. the murderer fall- ing upon the body of Banuet. Espinoza gave himself up, and the bodies were taken to San Quintin, where they arrived this morning, and were buried this afternoon. Espinoza is at San Quintin, and will be taken to Ensenada for trial. He pleads self-defense, and is sus- tained by all the people of that section, who say that Barroso was a notoriously bad man, who had threatened to Kkill Banuet two years ago. He also tried to kill the woman with whom he lived. Banuet, on the other hand, was highly re- spected. He leaves a widow and five chil- dren in destitute circumstances.

SANTA CRUZ, Car., July 30.—The an- nual encampment of the Christian churches of California commenced in this city: at their beautiful resort at Garfield Park to-day, under the most favorable auspices. Every train carried into this city its tull quota of delegates. All the tents on the grounds, and there isa large number of them, are engaged, something which has never happened in the history of the encampment. The church, which numbers 15,000 members in California, is represented by delegates and pastors from all parts of the interior of the State. The Tabernacle, an immense building, octagon in shape, has been improved con- siderably the past year. The outside has been repainted and the interior renovated.

G0LDNEA ST HONCA It Is Discovered by Two In- mates of the Soldiers’ Home. Assays of the Ore Show That It Runs One Hundred Dollars to the Ton. SANTA MONICA, CaL., July 80.—Two old-time miners on the Pacific slove, who are also veterans of the late war and in- mates of the Soldier’s Home, four miles south of this city, have been putting in some of their leisure time prospecting for gold in the mountains north of there with the result of finding some fine looking quartz, assaying more than $100 to the ton. They began sinking on the ledge, which was a well-defined cropping, a year or more ago, and from time to time resumed work until they have attained a depth of thirty feet, at which depth the new ore was found. i The ore-body is about six inches in width and is running perpendicular with the walls, which are lime and porphyry. The ore is black and white spar, inter- sperced with plyl'iwl of iron. . They have a so‘rut it to the test of paint and mortor, and some beautiful colors ‘were obtained, which were visible to the naked eye. There is a great deal of float a:mttsinm gorie below, and it was by }s means that the ore was traced to its origin. ‘he new find has stimulated the discov- erers to continue work as rapidly as possi- ble, and to this end they are putting up a cabin at a spring in the vicinity of the claim, and hereafter will camp on the grg\lmd. ‘or mnnw&m 0 ting in these mountains been TOS| i‘l’ld ged in, but with no results like the present, and many have gome out to see the new discovery and look for more. e A Santa Eosa Suicide. SANTA ROSA, CaL., July 30.—Henry Moller, an old resident of Santa Rosa liv- ing on Second street, killed himself by sending a bullet through his brain this afternoon about 2 o’clock. His wife wasaccustomed to go for adaily walk and was away from home when the deed was committed. She returned from her walk, and finding the house locked up forced an entrance through a window. This window opened from a small closet and on going into the adjoining room she found the lifeless body of her husband with a reyolver still clasped in his hand. The only reason assigned for the deed is despondency. Moller was well known in Santa Rosa, having resided here since 1871. g Sl Modesto Votes for Bonds.

The subject of Professor Ross’ lecture in the afternoon was *‘Present Condition and Complaints of the Farmers.” Six sepa- rate dangers to farmers were pointed out, and it was shown how each of these may spring from either the farmer himself or others. The actual condition of the farmer of the present day, as shown by statistics, was given, showing that out of every hundred farmers tbirty-four are renters, nineteen mortgagers and the remaining forty-seven really own their farms. The growth of the mortgage was carefully analyzed, bringing out the fact that farm- ing lands are gradually being concentrated into the hands of the few, and that the farming occupation was tending toward the English system of landlord and tenant. The point which he did not undertake to determine was whether this was a condi- tion inevitable under the competitive sys- tem and therefore permanent, or one due to temporary causes and destined soon to pass away.
