The directors of the San Francisco and San Joaquin Valley Railroad met yester- day. Reports of the rapid progress made in construction and equipment were re- ceived from the various ccmmittees and departments as progressive, and the di- rectors expressed themselves as highly pleased. In 2 few days a fourth call on the stock will be issued to subscribers. With all the work so far accomplished only 30 per cent of the total subscriptionhas been called in. The extra 10 per cent-constituting the fourth call will carry the road almost to Fresno. With the 30 percent already paid in a great deal has been done. route from Stockton to Bakersfield has been located finally with the exception of a gap in the vicinity of Visalia and Han- ford, and maps of the engineers’ lines are now complete in the office. Chief Engineer Storey gave an outline yesterday of what had been done in the way of construction. . ‘“We have a road now to the Stanislaus River.” said he. *‘This is a line twenty- five miles long. Tt is graded and the rails are laid, and, besides, there are fully two miles of sidetracks laid—in all twenty- seven miles. Now when you have a clear run of twenty-five miles in a locomotive, you begin to feel that you are traveling over quite a railroad. The track between Stockton and the river is being covered with sand to con- serve the bed before the winter rains set Meanwhile the grading camp is quite a distance below the Stanislaus, and the | graders are pushing southward ata lively rate, so that the road will. very soon be graded to the Tuolumne River. “Tne long and high bridge over the Stanislaus is pretty well finished. Work- | men are driving the piles and piers, while another large gang is working on the bridge timbers in the yards at Stockton. The piling is nearly finished and then the timbers will be ready to ship down to the river and placed in position. The piling and trestling over various overflow places oon the completed section, of course, have been done and the tracks laid over them. The steel sections for the drawbridge over Mormon Channel in Stockton are arriving daily, the piling for the concrete piersand approaches is assuming shape, so that the bridge will be up in a short time.” In addition to all this work the com- pany has several trainsof carsand three locomotives in commission, immense quan- tities of building material, including ties, rails, irons, ete., and several cargoes of supplies on the ocean between New York and this port. Two new boarding cars left San Francisco yesterday for Stockton. One of these is a dining and cooking car for the men, capable of accommodating The whole were waved | | | shrewd sp SAUSALITO, CaL., Dec. 3. ty-five horses in and abount this place have been attacked by influenza and dis- temper.

The weather reports to-night indicate an unusually heavy snowfall in the Blue Mountains for this season of the year, and the snowfall is general over the stock country, embracing Baker, Grant, Mal- heur, Crook, Klamath and Lake counties. | VIGTORIA MAN'S MANI Amos de Cosmos Pursued by Countless Assassins and Wraiths. A Once-Noted Statesman Whose Ec- centricities Were Familiar to British Columbians. VICTORIA, B. C., Dec. 3.—Many years ago William Alexander Smith, having be- come weary of that patronymic, prevaiied upon the Legislature of California to give him the new name of Amos de Cosmos, an appellation as singular as the man himself and in signification the very reverse of his racter, for he was of a thoroughly un- able disposition, fierce in his manner peech, and eccentric to a degree. For many months he has been at death’s door, but while his bodily strength has been restored his mind is so far diseased that the Supreme Court to-day appointed guardians to his estate on an application that he be declared insane. He has by ulation acquired great wealth. Mr. de Cosmos labors under the delu- sion that it 18 dangerous for him to walk the streets of Victoria, for not alone does he encounter would-be assassins on all hands, but certain ‘‘shades” pursue him, preventing him irom seeing his enemiex. To prevent attack from the outside he per- in bolting the doors and windows of house, and when he retires to his room h | he locks the door and rolls the bed against it. Lights are constantly kept burning; revolvers, swords, guns and a variety of weapons are kept in readiness for imme- diate use. Not long ago a friend called at De Cos- mos’ house and found it securely bolted. He rang at the door and having waited for some minutes, Mr. de Cosmos made his appearance, sword in hand, denounced his friend as a_thief and ordered him away. There can be no doubt asto the insanity of the man. . Amos de Cosmos came to this country during the gold excitement of 1858, and has since been a resident of Victoria. He much-traveled and well-read man, and at in the last Legislative Assembly of British Columbia. On one occasion, it is claimed, while speaking against a measure at the close of the session, he held the floor for ninety hours. His opponents were wont to ad- dress him sarcastically as ‘*:Bill Smith,” but *‘Bill” was venomous and invariably managed to hit back with withering force. He also represented British Columbia in the Dominion Parliament during the regime of Sir John Macdonald and that statesman used to say of him: “That Smith, with his admixture of Greek and Latin, is a smart fellow, but the devil himself could not work with him.” De Cosmos established the Victoria Colonist in DECAMPED FROM CHN Justice of the Peace Seeley Left Many Creditors in the Lurch. Deserted an Estimable Wife and Fam- ily Without Providing for Their Support. SAN BERNARDINO, Car., Dec. 3.—Or- rin F. Seeley, erstwhile Justice of the Peace of Chino, has decamped and various people and institutions mourn his absénce to the extent of $1000. In addition to be- ing Justice of the Peace Seeley was secre- tary of a branch of the Savings Union at Chino, an 1nsurance agent, maintained a real estate and house renting agency, was a member of half dozen orders, and in one way or another managed to hold an inter- est in nearly every enterprise in the sugar factory town, Each of these interests has suffered from his connection with them. Seeley left Chino on November 21, came to San Bernardino, doubled back to Los Angeles and then left for the City of Mex- ico, where he is now located. His pecula- tions will not fall below $1000. Of this the Savings Union loses about $230. People who had intrusted property to him to rent for them are out several months’ rent. He borrowed money indiscriminately and used his credit for all it was worth in every direction. Seeley left a wife and four small children almost destitute, and the little home they occupy is mortgaged for $1030. Mrs. See- ley is very highly respected and this feat- ure of the case makes it blacker for tne rascally husband. The matter has been kept quiet and some of his indignant neighbors started a movement looking to his extradition, but found that the law was against it and Seeley is safe as long as he is across the border. As Justice of the Peace Sceley’s deci- sions were parodies on justice, and because of them he was cordially disliked by peo- ple who had anything to do with his court. Beeley was a hard drinker and the general explanation of his actions is that his hab- its caused him to squander everything and then take to cowardly flight and desert his family. L0S ANGELES NEWS Attempt to Undo the Work of the County Grand Jury. STRIPES FOR RANGOT. The Abductor of Greek Consul Pavlides’ Daughter Found Guilty. CLIFTON MAYNE'S BEQUEST. A Report that He Has Given to His Erstwhile Ward All of His Property. LOS ANGELES, CaL, Dec. 3.—The Grand Jury filed into Department 1 of the Superior Court this morning, to be investi- gated and the legal status of its men:bers duly inquireda into. The matter was brought into court on a motion to set aside certain indictments and the first taken up was that against George Braby. After being sworn, H. E. Storrs, the fore- man of the Grand Jury, was examined by Attrney Le Compte Davis. Mr. Storrs pleaded guilty to being a notary public, but held no other civil or military posi- tions. He described the mode by which the Grand Jury indicted Braby and then was allowed to retire. Albert H. Johnson of Mourovia was the next juror examined. He stated that he was subpenaed n the ordinary way and was, so far as he knew, on the assessment roll of 1894-95. He did not claim absolute knowledge on that point, however. As the investigation proceeded, little in- terest was developed. J. J. Martin of Compton denied being a road overseer, he having held this position temporarily as a substitute. Walter S. Andrews of Sierra Madre, W. 8. Arnold of Pasadena, Herry Brown and John B. Brown were examined in turn without their qualification to sit as grand jurors being impugned. All the Superior Court Judges and Sheriff Burr have been subpenaed to appear and testify in the examination of the Grand Jury. This is a novel procedure in this county. -~ RANGOT FOUND GUILTY. The Abductor of Adrienne Pavlides Will Go to Prison. LOS ANGELES, CAL., Dec. 3.—The case of Edward L. Rangot, charged with ab- ducting Adrienne Pavlides, daughter of the Greek Consul in this city, was submitted to a jury this afternoon. After being out fifteen minutes the twelve men returned a verdict of “Guilty as charged.” The story of the crime was retold. The defense was very thin, and consisted of an attempt to show that the girl had willfully become the tool of Rangot. The prisoner Rangot took the stand, but failed to ex- plain his side of the case. SRR MAYNE'S ATONEMENT. Said to Have Deeded His Property to 3 Della Shipton. LOS ANGELES, Cav., Dec. 3.—Clifton Mayne suffered another hemorrhage this morning, and he now lies in one of the steel tanks of the county jail in a very pre- carious condition. He has given up all hope of seeing either of the Shipton girls. 1t is stated that Mayne has quite a little property scattered about the country, which he has deeded to the eldest of the girls. A Found Dead in Bed. . LOS ANGELES, Caw., Dec. 2.—George Kinney, Deputy City Tax and License Col- lector, was found dead in bed this morn- ing. 1t is thought asthma, from which he has been a chronic sufferer, was the cause of death. He was a brother of Teller Kin- ney of the Los Angeles National Bank, and was 35 years of age. CHOSEN AT LS MGELES Dr. Joseph B. Johnson Elected Bishop of the Southern Diocese.

Johnson, rector of Christ Church of Detroit, Mich., was to-night elected as the Bishop to preside over the new Episcopal diocese of Southern Cali- fornia. The primary convention met this morning at 10.30 o’clock. The convention has a most unprecedent-,| ed degree of interest to the people, as the division of the State into two Episcopal dioceses had been considered for several years and had been accomplished only at the last regular convention held at Min- neapolis a short time ago. The church was filled this morning, and there was a larze number of prominent business men present, who evidently hold deep interest in the new shepherd.

Unpaid County Officers Threaten a Gen- eral Walkout. PORT TOWNSEND, Wasu., Dec. 3.— The wheels of the county government came to a standstill here to-day when the Board of County Commissioners met and refused to allow claims for county officers’ salaries because the Auditor has hereto- fore refused to draw general fund warrants on the ground that the county has reached the legal limit of its indebtedness. When the decision of the Commission- ers became known the offices in the courtbouse were locked and abandoned and all flocked to the Commissioners’ room, where the entire afiernoon was spent in a fruitless discussion. Unless matters are adjusted to-morrow the county officers threaten to strike. St Fresno County Citrus Fair. FRESNO, Car., Dec. 3.—The Fresno County Chamber of Commerce to-day completed arrangements for holding a citrus fair in Fresno the last week in De- cember. It is expected that exhibits will be sent from Tulare and Kern counties. Fine exhibits will be made by Fresno County. This will be the first citrus fair ever held here. S g Captured Near Guerneville.

A special session of the Council was beld last night and many speeches were made in support of the petition. The ordinante was repealed and a committee of business men, armed with an order for his release, waited on Mr. Flickinger at the jail with a brass band and escorted him to the principal hotel, where he was wined and dined at an elaborate banquet. Speeches were made extolling the late prisoner for his heroism in accepting mar- tyrdom for a principle. ) = GAS COMPANIES CONSOLIDATION. Arguments in the United States District Court at Chicago. CHICAGO, Iry., Dec. 3.—The case of Pitt Barrows, who wants a Federal court injunction to prevent the consolidation of the Chicago gas companies composing the famous trust, came before Judge Showal- ter this morning in the United States Dis- trict Court. The morning session was wholly occupied by the plaintiff’s opening argument, and Attorney Lowery had not finished when the court took a recess. He continued his argument at the afternoon session. He said his client was not op- posed to any plan which could rehabilitate the Chicago Gas Company according to law. The plan which was now in contem- plation, he asserted, was not such a plan. In it the word “‘conolidate’’ appeared sev- eral times, and such consolidation had been expressly forbidden by the decree of the Illinois courts confirmed by the Su- preme Court. To-morrow ex-Attorney- General Hunt will present the case for the | gas company. —— DENVER BROKERS CONSERVATIVE. Estimates Place the Average Daily Sales of Stocks at Three Million. DENVER, Coro. Dec. 3.—The trading in gold stocks on the several Colorado exchanges was not so heavy to-day under ruling prices. The slightest advance in bids resulted in plenty of offers to sell, showing that holders of stocks purchased last week are ready to unload whenever a profit can be made. The high-priced gold stocks are evidently held largely as investments, and few sales were made at materially advanced rices. The demand for stocks seems to e as great as ever and beyond the power of the brokers to fill. It is not possible to obtain accurate fizures as to total sales. Curb sales, office sales and those made on the regular calls are aggregated, and the brokers do not choose to give correct figures of their daily transactions. Estimates place the average daily transactions of all the Colorado exchanges at 3,000,000 shares. SO AT THE MATHER IN CHICAGO. Mrs. Pabst Did Not Go to Proposed. CHICAGO, Irn, Dec. 3.—Mrs. G. B.

NEW YORK, N. Y., Dec. 3.—The Board of Trade has decided to hold its meeting to organize the committee of one hundred next Thursday. It is known that a large number of members of the Chamber of Commerce are interested in the plan to form a permanent organization to attract all sorts of National conventicns to this city. Should the Chamber of Commerce take action there will be no question about the possibility of securing a guarantee fund. g = Knows Nothing of the Sugar Trust Suit. ALBANY, N. Y., Dec. 3.—Attorney- General Hancock returned to Albany this afternoon. In answer to an inquiry he said he would hear the attorneys in the application decided against the Chicago Gas Company on Decemter 11. Mr. Han- cock said he knew nothing except what he saw in the newspapers about a reported intention on his part to bring suit against the sugar trust. NEEDS OF STANFORD, President Jordan on the Palo Alto Institution’s Prospects. BIG LEGACIES TIED UP. Progress Temporarily Checked by the Suit Brought by the Government. TERMED NEEDLESS LITIGATION. He Has No Doubt of Ultimate Victory for the University and Its Patroness. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Caw., Dec. 3.—A very unique reception and union was given at Encina last evening. The lobby of the big dormitory was decorated for the occasion, and fully 300 Jadies and gentlemen of the university and faculty members and their wives were present. Several toasts were responded to, among tbem being one by Dr. Jordan on “The Future of the University.”” Dr. Jordan, in regard to the Government suit against the Stanford estate, said that it had always been a question to him why so sudden an action had been brought, and that it had been instituted on more and different facts than were stated in the bill of complaint. Of the ultimate outcome of the litigation, Dr. Jordan said he had never been in doubt; but very few of those pres- ent would ever know the worry, care and self-sacrifice which the suit had demanded of Mrs. Stanford. The past trials of the university had, so the president said, brought about a more loyal feeling and a closer bond of sympathy among students and faculty than could have been accom- plished by any other means. “The settlement of the suit means sim- ply the removal of a burden from the uni- versity which is preventingits expansion,” said the orator; ‘“‘but its growth and en- largement will depend entirely upon Mrs. Stanford, who will make the additions as she sees proper. There will be many other legacies, amounting to nearly $4,000,000, which will have to be paid. Though most of these legacies return to the university, they cannot be paid in a day and will re- sult in further delay.”” Among the departments and additions that must be made as soon as possible, the president mentioned an elaborate chemi- cal laboratory, increase in the faculty corps and departments of work and an aug- mented library. Dr. Jordan said that the latter would be amply vrovided for by the $1,000,000 legacy from Australia, which was conditional upon a successful issue of the suit now in progress. “Notwithstanding the fact that we have many more miilions in prospect than are possessed by any other university in the world, the success of the institution will be as largely dependent in the future upon the spirit and loyalty of the students as it has been in the past,”” continued Dr.' Jor- dan. “The keynote of our advancement will not be so much the enlargement of the university and increase of number as improvement of the student standard.” To-morrow the executive committee will meet to audit the treasurer’s accounts and to discuss the question of a southern trip now being arranged by the Glee and Man- dolin clubs, TROTTING ASSOCIATION MEETS. Board of Review Has More Than Two Hundred Cases to Hear. CHICAGO, Irr., Dec. 3.—The semi-an- nual meeting of the beard of review of the American Trotting Association opened this morning at the Auditorium and will be in session all of this week. There are 210 cases on the docket for hearing. Prob- ably the leading case before the board is that of the charges of the Lincoln Associa- tion against John R. Gentry, J. F. Taylor and Joe Patchen for violating an exhibi- tion contract. A large number of charges preferred against Davies come from the meeting he gave at the Des Moines track last summer. No decisions were handed down to-night. Secretary Steiner said a batch of them would probably be handed down to-morrow evening. The ease in which John R. Gen- wry and Joe Patchen are involved occupied most of the time of the delegates. Palmer | L. Clark, secretary of the Lincoln (Nebr.) association, wants Patchen and Gentry ruled off the trotting turf because of their failure to show upata match race arranged between them by the association. There was no written contract, but telegramsand letters were produced in evidence. An effort was made to induce Mr. Clark to withdraw his charges, with the under- standing that the American Association would make a stringent rule covering such breaches of contract in the future. This Mr. Clark is willing to do, but the associa- tion surprised evervbody concerned by re- fusing to drop the charges. It is the inten- tion to hear the case to the end, and the chances are considered good that1if the two reat horses are not ruled off the turf at east their owners will be severely repri- manded. 2 Lo g BICYCLE RECORDS BROKEN.
