5 4 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, AUGUST 17, 1895. NEWS OF THE CONST. First Rails for the San Joaquin Road Laid at Stockton. WITNESSED BY CROWDS. No Special Ceremony Attended the Driving of the First Spike. ARRIVAL OF MEN AND TEAMS. Work on the Grade to the Stanislaus to Be Commenced on Monday. STOCKTON, Can., Aug. 16.—The first ties were laid for the Valley road this morning, and by noon 100 yards of them had been laid just south of Mormon Chan- pel, from the point where the barges are aischarging rails. Three lengths of rails had also been laid up to that time, but no spikes had been driven, as the workmen were not ready for spike-driving until this efternoon. There was a crowd of workingmen about, v watching the progress of track- g and anxious to secure work. The force this morning on the road was small, but in the afternoon a larger force was put on, The track starts on a curve and then runs between the tiers of piles and ties and paraliel with the grade of the regular track, which is several feet higher than the elevation of the level space on which the track material is piled. One of the con- struction-cars, built by J. Hammond & Co. of San Francisco, was placed on the track, and, as it passed along, the distance sepa- rating the rails was gauged with the regu- lar instrument used for that purpose. The gang foreman began immediately after the noon hour to lay the rails on the curve when they had been poanded into shape for this purpose. A gang of five or gix heavy men would stand on the center of the rail while it was resting on raised ties, and while their weight thus sagged it down others turned their attention to the exposed places with sledgehammers. All this was watched by the crowd of spec- tators that had assembled to see the driv- ing of the first spike on the road. The driving of the first spike was not done until after the return of Secretary Wilbur from luncheon. It was mnot per- formed with any ceremony, but as a pure maiter of .business. The first spike was driven next to the bulkhead where the ck commenced. All this time the busy men on shore and on the barge were piling up the ties. and unloading the rails for track-laying. The scene was full of life and augured well for the future active use the road will have. Track-laying is slow work, and as soon as the rails are laid in the material yards a Jarge force will be put to work in making the regular road. This is high above the former grade of Edison street, and has now been packed so hard that it makes an excellent driveway. The Southern Pacific Company has com- menced ing switches on the east side of its track for the purpose of running the engines of the Valley road from its track to the line of the latter company. The switches begin a little south of Scotts ave- nue and extend to the southand east to de of the Valley road, not very far from Union street. These switches will be completed before the track of the new voad is laid that far. The representatives of the firm that has secured the contract for grading the section between Stockton and the Stanisiaus River are expected here to-morrow, and operati will on Monday begin outside of the city limits. A grading and con- tracting outfit, consisting of eighteen six- mule teams, passed through - Livermore to-day on the way to Stockton to work on the Valley road. This is the force that Grant Bros., the contractors, are sending here to begin the work of grading on the section Letween this city and the Stanis- laus River. The graders have been busy cleaning up odds and ends of work on the Valley road. The crossings at street corners have been graded, as provided in the franchise from the City Council. On Monday next the contractors will commence work on the grade between Mormon and Stockton channels. There wid be considerable fill- ing in to do there, bui the contractors have plenty of earth for this purpose and the haul is a short one. The Corral Hollow Railway employes are not letting any grass grow under their feet. Surveyor Atherton and party re- turned to Stockton last night, after having finished their cross-sectioning of the line between Stockton and the San Joaquin River. The road crosses the track of the Southern Pacific Company midway be- tween this city and French Canyon and continues east south of that line, passing beyond Lathrop to the river, where the ‘bridge will be located, about three-fourths of a mile below that of the Southern Pacific Company. Yesterday the force in the city was kept busy unloading the cars of rails that have arrived for this road. Avrrested for Forgery. STOCKTON, Car., Aug. 16.—W. 8. Had- v, who has been employed by D. R. Oliver of this city, was arrested ona charge of forgery by Deputy Sheriff Black. Hadley was arrested on a telegzram re- ceived yesterday from San Bernardino where it _is alleged the forgery was com- xixiflted. He was found by the officer at odi. Hadley came from the East to California last winter. He remained in the neigh- borhood of San Bernardino and E.oa Angeles for a few months, when he re- moved to San Francisco. ¥rom there he came to Stockton about two months ago. At the jail today he first denied that he knew anything of the alleged crime, but later he confessed. ANGELS CAMP BENSATION. Two Suits Which Have Caused Exoite- ment in Social Circles. ANGELS CAMP, Ca ., Aug. 16.—A civil and a criminal proceeding bronght in the Justice’s Court have caused a sensation in local business and social circles. A. L. Morefield, who conducts a mineral bathhouse here, and who is well known il several Western States, brought suit against John B. Botto of Vallecito to re- cover $290 claimed to be due for treatment of the latter’s daughter for insanity, Prior to being placed in Morefiela’s care the young woman had been in Dr. Clark’s private asylum at Stockton. The case came up before Justice Cooley yesterday, and the jury awarded the plaintiff $60. Now Botto threatens to br n{ criminal proceedings against Morefield for practic- mi‘ medicine withou a license. he other action which caused a sensa- [} tion was that of Michael Arendt, a wealthy merchant of this place, who caused Mrs. Morefield to be arrested this morning on a charge of battery, allezed to have occurred at a Sheriff’s sale last week. He purchased some property which formerly belonged to Morefield, and last night, when he was on the property, so he alleges, Mrs. More- field turned a water-hose on him. The matter will be aired in court next Tuesday. iR SEQUEL OF A RENO MURDER. An Attempt to Secure an Estate for Mrs. Hartley’s Son. RENO, Nev., Aug. 16.—Attorneys] Den- nis and Mayenbaum to-day filed in the County Clerk’s office a petition to have one-half of the estate of the late Senator M. D. Foley set aside for the benefit of an in- fant son of M. Alice Hartley. Mrs. Hart- ley shot and killed Foley in Reno a year ago, and is now serving a term of eleven years in State Prison for the crime. The petition sets forth that a written paper signed by Foley and attested by wit- nesses has been found in Foley’s banking- house ia Salt Lake City, acknowledging himself to be the father of Mrs. Hartley’s child, which was bora after Foley’s death. If this is proved the child will be legiti- mized to the extent of giving him half of the estate, which is estimated to be worth $300,000. ——e SANTA BARBARA SCANDAL, A Constabie Charged With Drinking and Other Irregularities. SANTA BARBARA, CaL., Aug. 16.— Cwsar Lataillade, one of Santa Barbara’s Codncilmen, was arrested for inebriety by Constable McGrath a_week or more ago, and spent a very bad season in confine- ment in the calaboose. To-day Lataillade made a_report, charging McGrath with having headquarters at a saloon, drinking and other irregularities, and advising his removal from the force. The report was referred to a special committee. The officer has been suspended pending an investiga- tion. CLEMENS AT VARCOER, The Writer and Lecturer Tells the Object of His Trip to Australia. Intends to Pay Dollar for Dollar on All the Claims of His Creditors. COUVER, B.C., Aug. 16.—Samuel L. Clemens (Mark Twain), who is about leaving for Australia, in an interview con- cerning the purpose of his long trip, said: My run across the continent, covering the first 4,000 miles of this lecturing tour around the world, has revealed to me so many friends, of whose existence I was unconscious before, and so much kindly and generous sympathy with me in my financial mishaps that I feel that it will not be obtrusive seli-assertion, but an act of simple justice to that loyal iriend- ship, as well ast0 my own_reputation, to make & public statement of the purpose which I have held from the beginning and which is now in process of execution, It has been reported that Isacrificed for the benefit of the creditors the property of the publishing irm whose financial packer I was and that I am now lecturing for my -pwn benefit. This is an error. I intend the le tures as well as the property for the creditors. The law recognizes no mortgage on a man’s brain, and & merchant who has given up all he has may teke advantage of the rules of insol- vency and start free again for himself; but I am not & business man, and honor is & harder master than the law. It cannot compromise for less than a hundred cents on the dollar, and its debts never outl 1 had a two-thirds intere firm, whose capital I furni had prospered 1 should have lect two-thirds of the profits, Asitis, I expect to pay all the debts. My partner has no re- souzces, and I do not look for assistazice from im. By far the largest single creditor of this firm is my wife, whose contributions in cash from ber private means have nearly equaled the claims of all the others combined. In satisfac- tion of this great and just claim she has taken nothing except to avail herself of the oppor- tunity of retaining control of the copyrighis of my books, which for many easily understood reasons, of which financial ones are the least, we do not desire to see in the hands.of strahg- ers. On the contrary, she has helped and in- tends to help me to satisfy the obligations due to the rest. The present situation is that the wreckage of the firm, together with what money I can scrape together with my wife’s aid, will enable me o pay the other creditors about 50 ver cent of their claims, It is my intention to ask them to accept that as a legal discharge and trust to my honor to S‘nv the other 50 per cent as fast as1earnit. From my receptions thus far on my lecture tour I am contident that if Ilive I can pay off the last debt within four years, after which, at the age of 64, I can makesa fresh and unincumbered start in life. 1donot enjoy the hard travel and bioken rest inseparable from lecturing, and if it had not been for the imperions moral necessity of Ennng these debts, which I never contracted, ut which were accumulated on the faith o: my name by those who had a presumptive right touseit, I ehould never have taken to the road at my timeof life. I could have sup- ported myself comfortably by writing, but writing is'too slow for the demands that I have to meet. Therefore, I have begun to lecture my way around the World. 1 am going to Australia, India and Soath Africa, and next year I hope to make a tour of the great cities of the United States. Inmy preliminary run throngh the smaller cities on the northern route I have found a reception, the cordiality of which has toucheéd my heart and made me feel how small a thing money is in comparison with friendship. I meant, when I began, to_give my creditors ell the benefit of this, but I begin tofeel that I am gaining something from it, t0o, and that my dividends if ot available for banking pur- phrrsvs may be evea more satisfagtory than theirs.

MADERA, CaL., Aug. 16.—George Darby committed suicide early this morning by shooting himself through the head. Darby had some trouble yesterday with Charles A. Lee,a rancher, from whom he had rented some land on the crop-payment plan. There was some dispute over the amount of the amountof the hay which was raised on the premises, and the two decit:ed to settle the matter by measure- ment. While in the act of measuring the stock of hay, Darby got the advantage of Lee while the latter was on his knees and struck him over the head several times with an iron square before Lee overpow- ered him and took the square from him, wounding him on _the scalp with - severai blows.

NEWS OF LOS ANGELES, Injunction to Prevent the Sale of Electric Lines Dis- solyed. One Fatally and the Other Seriously Wounded in the Affray. EACH EMPTIED HIS WEAPON. A Demand for a Retraction of Slanderous Accusations Caused the Trouble. PORTLAND, Or., Aug. 16.—Dr. Amos Holmes and Dr. Robert K. Ausplund of the Portland Hospital engaged in a shooting affray in the former’s office at noon to-day. Each emptied the contents of a revolver at the other. Holmes was wounded in the left breast and leg, but will recover. Aus- plund will die from the effects of a- bullet near the heart, a second in the right arm and another in the back of the head. Dr. Holmes was for along time in charge of the surgical department of the Portland Hospital. Ausplund was infermed that Holmes circulated reports at various times that he (Ausplund) was in the habit of kissing the nurses. This aroused Aus- piund, and he demanded a retraction. The men met on the sidewalk, and Holmes in- vited Ausplund into his office. There a quarrel arose .and Ausplund threatened Holmes" life. -Ausplund’s ante-mortem statement says: ‘“Holmes has long been persecuting me; ing disrespectfully about meand my friends. I bore. the ireatment till T was almost driven to desperation, Smarting under the injustice of Holmes’ treatment I drew up a retraction of all the slanders Holmes circnlated about me, which I in- tended vo-have him sign. “Before noon I met Holmes, just ashe was going to his effice in the Dekum build- ing. Istopped him, and, handing him the paper, asked him to sign it. He invited me into his office, saying he wanted to read what I had written before attaching his name to- the paper. I followed him. After seemingly carefully looking over its contents, he said that before signing the retraction he : wanted me to accompany him to Dr. Richmond Kelly’s otfice, as he desired to justify some of the remarks, All this was only byplay on Holmes’ part, as he wanted more time. ‘No sooner-did T consent to the latter stipulation, than he whipped out a revolver and began firing at me. I immediately reached for my: weapon. After discharg- ing one chamber, my - pistol-arni” became disabled from one of Holmes’ bullets; and I changad the pistol to the left hand, firing until T-dropped.” Holmes’ statement is. to the effect that after - discussing “the retraction Asplund said: 1f you do not sign - the paper, one of us must go into eternity ?”’ \ = “I then got out of my. chair,” said Holmes, “and ordered the doctor out. of my office. - He threatened to kiil me. Not fearing him, I struck him wunder the chin. Ausplund at once’ drew..a pistol and fired two shots, whereupon I-opened fire. At the fifth shot the doctor exclaimed, ‘My God, I'm killed.! He fell through the open door into the hallway. Ireloaded my pistol. As I stepped into the hall Ausplund, who was prostrate on the floor, fired another shot, which struck me in the leg,” Holmes was removed from his position as manager of the surgical department of the hospital yesterday. Since then he has been very irrifable. Before the meeting with Ausplund he had a quarrel with Hos- pital Director T. A. Wood, who says that Ausplund’s stepping up just at the time he did probably saved his (Wood’s) life. Holmes is 40 years old, a native of Oregon, and studied in France and England. He is prominent in his profes- sion and a married man. Auspiund is 81 years ‘old, 8 Swede by birth, and was formerly a barber in this city. He gradu- ated a year ago. Once he was a student with Holmes, His condition is very eriti- cal to-night. FAVORED: BY McBRIDE.

The couple left Los Gatos in a buggyand went to Saratoga, where they were duly married by Rev. Mr. Cross.

SN RAFAEL HERDINES, Two Brave - Girls = Rescue a Companion From the Water. All Would Have Been Lost but for the Opportune Arrival of Assistance. SAN ‘RAFAEL; CaL., Aug. 16.—Miss Butler, a young lady from Fresno attena- ing the Dominican convent at San Rafael; was to-day saved from death by drowning by two schoolmates, Miss Blethen and Miss Sosa. Miss Butler was bathing at Point San Pedro where, with a number of college mates, she had gone on a picnic, when she was carried into the current. She called for help and Miss Blethen and Miss Sosa jumped into the current, which was run- ning very strong at the time. They were excellent swimmers and soon reached Miss Batler. They were trying hard to hold her above water, when Drivers Jewell and Ackley, who brought the party down to the beach, heard the cry for help and ran to the res- cue. Jewell jumped from rock ‘to rock but could not reach them until Ackley finally sécured a branch of a tree and threw it to him. The branch was long enough to reach the almost exhausted young ladies; and Miss Blethen, who was nearest to Jewell, grasped it, and then as- sisted her companions to reach the shore. But for the timely arrival of the drivers all three girls would have been drowrned. When Jewell reached the bank Miss Blethen was holding Miss Butler’s head above water with one hand, while with the other she was attempting to swim. Miss Sosa had the half-drowned girl raised nearly out of the water, and, though al- most exhausted, was putting forth all energy in trying to get her companion to the shore. Miss Butler was unconscious when carried upon the beach, she having twice sunk below the surface of the water. She did not regain consciousness for some hours afterward. Miss Sosa was much ex- hausted, but regained her strength quickly after reaching the shore. She is an expert swimmer, being born in the islands, where they swim from childhood. Miss Blethen isalso an expert swimmer. Miss Butler will be all right in a few days. — MILL VALLEY IN LINE Its Picturesque Hills to Be the Scene of “A Night in Switzerland.” A ‘Magnificent Electrical Display a Feature ‘of .the Proposed Entertainment. * MILL VALLEY, CAL., Aug. 15.~The people of Mill Valley; not to be outdone by neighboring cities, are arranging to_give, in the near future; an entertainment en- titled “A Night in Switzerland.”” The hills. and “mountain -will be 'decorated with thousands of Chinese lanterns arranged in various ‘designs, and red lights -and fires works will be: displayed 'from the ridges above Mill Valley.. .. : A feature of ‘the entertainment will con- sist-of ‘a large display of many colored ‘electric lights, forming ‘designs of ‘much brilliancy- and beauty.

HE FOUND THE GAME, A Story Told by a Hunter Who Has “Seen the Chase.” HE QUAILED ON THE OCCASION. ‘What Neither Grizzly Bear Nor Moun- tain Lion Could Do, One Enemy Ac- complished—Mr. Timms Got a Bead on the Attacking Force None Too Soon—How He Conquered. T'HOSE WHO CAST A GLANCE AT THE BIG captive grizzly out at Golden Gate Park, and have seen the ease with which he twists iron bars and displaces concrete rocks,can have some ldea astothe powerof the brute: but even thenltis only famnt. A grizzly only really exerts himsel? when he “shows fight,” as the hunters call it. They are getting very scare in California now. but every old-time hunter will tell you that the grizzly is a formidable foe, perhaps the most to be feared antagonist that the hunter rans up against in his checkered career. A hunter’s life is usually supposed to be a healthy Tife, but the wear and tear and constant nervous strain to which the geruine old-time hunters. were put often told severely on their constitutions. As s race they were a fine set of men—honest and true, fearless and generous. But nature is nature in all men. W.F.Timms of Petaluma, for in- stance, Is & good example. In his career he hardly knew what fear was in the mountains with which he was so famillar, but he was brought to bay at 1ast. About fifteen years ago that annoying and wast- ing disease, catarrh, made its appearance, to be followed, of course, by dyspepsia and a score of otherills. Mr. Timis put on a bold face to the wretched state into which his health was getting, until complete nervous prostration put him, meta- phorically speaking, n the dust. Then he quailed. e sought reliet high and low—North, South, East and West he went and sent, searching for some one orsomething to allay his terrible malady, or, rather, complication of maladles, Not very long ago he came to San Francisco and dropped into that grand institution for the cure of all diseases at the cor- ner of Market, Stockton and FEllis streets—THE HUDSON MEDICAL INSITTUTE—and from the ‘moment of his consulting the physicians there ho felt instinctively that he nolonger had reason to fear the result of his battle for life. And late events show that In this he was correct, for he has recently written the following letter, which speaks for itselt: HupsoN MEDICAL INsTITUTE—Gentlemen: For fitteen years I had been atllicted seriously with dyspepsia and catarrh and nervous prostration, and 10 such an extent that life was indeed a burden to me. It required no little will-power to resist the temptation of self-destruction. 1 was treated by & great many prominent physicians, but without any benefit, until T went to the HUDSON MEDICAL IN- STITUTE about & month ago, and have taken treat- ment since that time, and, I am heppy o say, th: with one month's Lreatment 1 have been tran: formed into an entirely differeat man. The change is wondertul. . My catarrh and dyspepsia have ail one: also, my nervous system is in good con- §ition: the extreme despondency and melancholy is removed, and I am exceedingly happy and cheer- ful, and I can cheerfully recommend the physicians of the HUDSON MEDICAL INSTITUTE as skiliful, consclentious and honorable physicians. Yours truly, W. F. Toas. These are broad, straightforward, manly state- ments which have the ring of honesty about them, but they are only of the same tenor as many hun- dreds of bqually satisfactory utterances by those who have been cured at the HUDSON MEDICAL INSTITUTE. Amongst those who have voiced their sentiments of praise heartily may be men- tioned Mr. H. G. Mulkey of Corvallis, Or., who says: “After taking your treatment for ashort time I gained twelve poundsin weight and was wonderfully benefited. * * * I am perfectly well, and shall always speak well of the HUDSON MEDICAL INSTITUTE.” Mr. Fairchild of Stockton says: “Ican’t recom- mend the Institute too highly, for I now feel that T am periectly and permanently restored to health.” Of “The Great Hudyan,” their splendid specific for all nervous troubies, a gentlemsnavEting from San Luis Obispo says: I was permanently cured in three months. I did not believe at first that Hudyan was a wonderful remedy. Iam now convinced that it is. And so the good work goes on and on. And now 1t 1s conceded that the HUDSON MEDICAL IN- STITUTE is one of the greatest establishments in the world for the cure of all curable diseases.
