14 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 24, 189s. REGULAR TRAINS ON THE NEW ROAD The Inauguration of the Daily Passenger Service. : VALLEY RAILWAY NOW A COMPETITOR. Its Half-Rate Passenger Fares Surprise the San Joaquin. FIRST TRAIN LEAVES STOCKTON UNHERALDED. People of the Valley Leok Forward to a Fight That Will Change 0!d Conditions The first regular passenger train of the San Francisco and San Joaquin Valley Railway went down the valley of the San Joaquin yesterday. 1ts departure from Stockton was not attended by any demonstration; there were no crowds to bid the handsome train bon voyage as the engine, screaming a warning to all, rushed from the channel passenger depot on its southward flight to the land of grapes and oranges. The en- gineer opened the throttle, the bell clanged clear on the morning air, passen- gers waved adieus to their friends, and that was all. The depot agent was at his post with his assistants, eyerything ap- peared conventional, a plain business-like affair, or would be so regarded in railway circles, and nobody gave *“Number 1"’ a second thought.” It was just a train leav. ing as other trains had done at the same place. But this incident is typical of the whole management of the people’s line, the popular “Valley road,” which has cut passenger fares in halfand reduced freight rates in the great San Joaquin Valley 23 per centum. The men who in the face of tremendous odds made the enterprise a possibility and then a grand success cared little for demonstraticns about their work. All they wanted was to succeed and to be able to say to the people, ‘‘every promise we have made has been tulfilled.” In this spirit the work was pegun and carried out, and now when the first regular passenger train goes into service the event so full of meaning to California is allowed by the Valley railway managers to pass with as little ado as if it were the mere printing of tickets. So the pioneer of the regular passenger service left Stockton and sped down the valley. Only people who knew all about it, who had watched every line published in the newspapers about the progress of the Valley railway 1n their eagerness to learn what directly concerned their wel- Ifare, stopped and saluted the train. In the field the farmer and his men for- got their task for a time as the streak of smoke on the horizon told them of the approaching train, and they watched the speck grow, with a long cloud stretching afar over plains of wheaten stubble and meadow lands and orchards until, at last, the first regular passenger train was near. They cheered and waved their hats as 2 welcome and a mark of good wishes, and as the train passed away in the dim horizon to the scuth they heaved a sigh of relief; for this fleeing procession brought hopeand new courage. It opened . tc them the outside world, which before was denied by high rates and fares that were forbidding. But now there was an assurance of a new order of things—a daily train to carry people up and aown the great valley at exactly half the former cost. The train made good time to Fresno, the temporary southern terminus of the road, where it was met by a large number of people. It wasnotso full of passen- gers, indeed, as the railway deserved; put then, this was the first trip ana the public was not aware of its presence. Returning in the evening from Fresno the tramn was *‘Numoer 2,” the first regu- lar passenger train from the valley to Stockton. It carried the lastof the ex- cursionists who attended Fresno’s citrus fair, whose tickets expired yesterday. The ride was all that could be desired, a well-constructed, high-class roadbed unit- ing with an elegant and high-grade equip- ment to make it comfortable, and even an inducement for passengers to travel over the Valley road again. The first regular passenger train to make connection with the San Francisco steamers at Stockton will be in service to-day, and thet is the opening of a daily passenger service between this City and Fresno at one-half the old rate. The pas- senger may leave San Francisco in the evening, enjoy a bountiful yet dainty din- ner on the river steamer and a delightiul night sa1l. In the morning he can have breakfast on the boat and immediately afterward take the train at Stockton for Fresno, where he will arrive at 1p. &, in good form for luncheon. —_—— STOCKTON OFFICE BUSY. The Agent There Prepares for a Rush of Business. STOCKTON, CaL., Dec. 23.—The local office of the Valley road zave out Monday NEW TO-DAY. Eczema easy Grew Worse under Treatment of Best Physicians.

One of the best physicians in the city attended her, but she continued to get worse all the time. He finally admitted he was at his wits’ end. Ithen got CUTICURA REMEDIES, and in a few days noticed a great change in her con- dition. She continued to improve and to-day 1is entirely cured, has nice head of hair, and is livelyand hearty.

San Francisco and Fresno, but, in reality, the first regular passenger train, con- necting with the steamers of the Califor- nia Navigation and Improvement Com- pany leaves this city at the Weber-avenue end at 7:20 o’clock to-morrow morning. Since the opening of the citrus fair at Fresno the Valley road has been running regular trains. For the present the time schedule on which the excursion trains have been running will be in effect as already published in THE CALL. The cut in fare from the Southern Pa- cific rate of $5 90 to $3 75 is the occasion of considerable comment, and passengers from here down the valley are looking for actual competition. The freight business of the new road has already assumed large proportions and the bid for passenger patronage 18 signifi- cant of the fact that it is intended to cap- ture that. The coaches of the Valley line are among the best in service, and no puins will be spared for the comfort of passengers. Last night's boat from San Francisco will arrive early to-morrow morning, and the start of the regular pas- senger train, which has been clamored for here for some time, will be made for Fresno at 7:20, arriving there at 11:50 o’clock. Returning it wiil leave Fresno at 1:10 p. and reach Stockton at 5:40 o’clock. The success of the excursions given promises much for the popularity of the new line, and the local office here sees a busy passenger traffic ahead. A TARIFF CONFERENCE. All the Industrial Bodies of the State to Meet and Discnss Legislative Needs. A tariff conference has been calied by the Chamber of Commerce of San Francisco to meet at the hall of the chamber Thursday, January 7, 1897. This is at the suggestion of the California deleggtipn in Congress to consider the tariff required by the various industries, manufactories and commercial interests of the State. Invitations have been extended to all the county Boards of Supervisors and all industrial bodies to send personal repre- sentatives or a formulated -tatement of what tariff is required to develop to a greater extent the growing industies of California, This consensus of public opinion will be the basis of action for the delegation in Congress in framing the new bill. Itis hoped there will be a generous re- sponse on the part of all commercial and manufacturing bodies, and that there will be an intellizent discussion of the matter. CHRISTMAS DIVOROCES. Homes Made Happy by the Granting of Legal Separations. Christmas divorces are in order. Sev- eral were granted yesterday, and others are expected to-day, while more are un the calendars of the different departments of the Superior Court, to be disposed of be- fore the close of the joyful holiday season. Among the legal separations granted yesterday were the following: Stefano Carreale from Emelia Carreale, desertion; Antoinette Beil from Henry W. Bell, failure to provide; Mary Mitciell from Samuel K. Mitchell, cruelty; Addie Alexander from Bernard Alexander, neg- lect; Robina White from Charles I. White, failure to provide. In the case of Heinrichs against Hein- richs the husband is ordered to pay $40 a month alimony pending the trial. Divorce suits were filed yesterday as fol- lows: Emil Schlitt against Elizabeth Schlitt, Emma McMullen against W. H. McMullen, Margaret Root against Hepry W. Root, Laura J. Sharp against William J. Sharp. — A SMUGGLER CONVICTED. Sam Brown Was Guilty, But P. Panta- ges Secured an Acquittal. The case of Sam Brown and P. Panta- ges, charged with assisting in opium smug- gling, was concluded yesterday in the United States District Court. Brown was convicted on one count and Pantages was acquitted. Last month Customs Of- ficer Holmes arrested Brown on Twelfth and Mission streets with 185 tins of opium in two sacks and a basket, Brown’s two companions escaped. A few days later, Pantages, the owner of a restaurant on | Fifth street, was arrestad on suspicion of being one of the escapes. It was not alone upon suspicion, for the informer, George Peters, told the customs officers that Pantages was one of the parties who was to sell to him, Peters, the drug that was siezed. Brown’s defense was that he had been requested by two men to help carry two packages, the contents of which he was in ignorance. Pantages succeeded in prov- ing an alibi. HIS HUMOR SAVED HIM. A Charge of Peity Larceny Against John Reid Dismissed. John Reid is something of a humorist, and that fact led Judge Joachimsen yester- day to dismiss a charge of petty larceny against him. The complaming witness was Charles Haape, 1070 Howard street, and he ac- cused Reid of stealing a pair of trowsers from him. Aiter hearing the evidence the Judge asked Reid if he had anything to say wuy sentence should not be pronounced against him. “If your Honor please,” said Reid, “I don’t see how you can make this case stick.” “Why?” asked the astonished Judge. “You can’t make a suit out of a pair of trowsers,”’ replied Reid. “The point is well taken,” said the Judee. “The case is dismissed, and you can enjoy your Christmas at home."” ROCHE GETS $4000. Substantial Damages Awarded to a Street Sweeper Who Was Run Over. In Judge Hunt's conrt yesterday a jury gave a verdict in favor of Thomas Roche for $4000 and against William A. Reding- ton & Co. M:. Roche was engaged in his occupa- tion as a street sweeper when he was run over and severely hurt by a driver em- ployed by Redington & Co. 5 The injured man sued for $10,000 dam- ages on the ground that he was incapaci- tated for manual labor of any kind. The case was sharply contested by Attorney Charles F. Hanlon for the plaintiff and Attorneys Van Ness and Thomas on be- half of the defendant. Stay of execuiion for thirty days was granied and notice of appeal was given. FOUR TALSE FIRE ALARMS A Man in Search of Amusement Risks Prison Fare. A witless practical joker turned in four false alarms within an bour last evening. The first box to call out the department was 152, Brannan and Eighth streets, at 9:10 o'clock. Twenty minutes later box 182, Sixth and Townsend streets, was sounded. Box 186, Fifth and Bryant streets. rang in at 9:50 and fifteen min- utes later the department hurried, in answer to a call from box 365, to Division and Alameda streets, Not a spark of fire could be found and in consequence the department is con- fident tuut some man in search of amuse- ment proceeded to have it and ran the risk ot landing behind prisoh bars. —————— ‘WaTcHEs, Diamonds, Jewelry, at greatly reduced prices; building to be removed. 5and 7Third ste | BUTTE'S PLAVERS ARE NOW IN TOWN Montana Football Team Ready for the Olympic Match. They Are Not Giants, but Have a Fine Reccrd of Big Victories. O.ympic Has Borrcw d From Other Teams to Restremgthen H r E.even. The Butte football team of Montana ar- rived in this City shortly after noon yes- terday on the belated Oregon eapress and went at once to the Baidwin Hotel, where the men will have rocms during their ten days’ visit in this City. A party of Oiym- pic clubmen met them at the Sixteenth- street station in Oakland and escorted them to this side of the bay. No ill feel- Gene Sheehy, Olympic’s Big Guard. ing whatever is entertained against the Reliance Club, though Butte recrets it could not once more try conclusions with tie old rival. The party consists of fifteen players, one cof whom, George McMillan, is man- ager, and a special newspaper correspond- ent, B. St. Charles, representing the Ana- conda Standard and the Butte Miner, two morning journals of Butte City. The regular captain, big, red-haired Jim Hooper, the old Michigan guard, could not come with the team because of an at- tack of rheumatism. He delegated to Percy Benson, the old Califorma captain, tne important duty of directing the team. 1f, however, he recovers in time he will be here to play in the Christmas game with the Olympics or_in the second game, to be played on New Year’s day. De Gay Stivers, with all his medals and tropbies and insignia and decorations pinned upon his coat and vest, came this year as one of the plnyers. If anvthing should happen to Percy Benson, De Gay Stivers will lays aside his medals and go into the game himself as quarter. De Gay is the man who made a great vow last year never to cut his long hair until Butte should have defeated Reliance. The maidens of Butte pleaded with De Gay and his locks were sacrificed and his vow was broken. Mrs. McMillan and Mrs. Gillis came to this City in advance of their athletic hus- bands to see them play for Butte. Yesterday afterncon the Butte men put on their suits at the Olympic Club and practiced signals and lively movements 1or a balf hour on the Central Park grounas, where they will face Qlympic at 2 o'clock Christmas afternoon. The Butte team is not a ieam of giants. The men are lighter in weight than the Olympics, but they have a good record. ere is the record of Butte’s games this season in the order in which they were played, all being overwhelining vic- tories for the Montana team: Omaba University Club.

Stanford University.. University of Californi stanford University Relance Aihletic Cltb. Reliance Athletic Ciul The two teams will face each other on Christmas afternoon as indicated in the line-up given below. The stripped weights of the Butte men are reliable and recent. The stripped weights of the Olympic men may in some cases vary a couple of pounds or so from these figures, but are practically as here given. The Butte team averages 171 pounds to the man stripped, and the Olympic team averages 173 pounds stripped, a difference of weight too little to be considered, were it not ti¥at Olympic's greater averdupois 1s concen- trated in the three centermen.

He likes football. He was the means of first establishing it in Butte last season, and the whole mining town now centers its loyalty and athletic enthusiasm in the Butte team. Every- bedy that can play tries to get on the team. Naturally some football players, taking advantag» of the courtesies and favors shown a gridiron hero, go to Butte to engage in business, assured of a good reception and of a more favorable open- ing than lhe{’migm get elsewhere. The three Perham brothers are carpen- ters and have lived in Butte a_year and a half. Slater, formerly of the Unisn Iron Works, has been a miner at Butte for nearly five years. Prahm, the new center, is a miner and has lived at Butte for the last four years. Hall, guard on the Prince- ton Varsity in '92 and ’93, and sub- gua:d in 91, left Princeton without graauating; later he did some football coaching and in Chicago broke Hickock’s record by putting the sixteen-pound shot 44 feet 3 of an inch. He was graduated from the iaw department of the University of Michigan last June and about three months ago established himselt with a law firm in Butte. He is the giant of the team. Jones played formerly at the Uni- versity of Nebruska, but has resided in Butte for & year, working in_a smelter. McPherson has been a Butte miner for the last five years. Benson was captain and quarter of the University of California team last season. He has been employed in a mining office at Butte for a year. Dygert, formerly of the Michigan Varsity, was undecided where to locate | after leaving collage, and was persuaded a year ago by his old college mate, jim Hooper, captain of the Butte team, to hang out his lawyer's shingle in Butte. McMillan, formeriy of the Stanford Var- sity and later captain of the Reliance, went to Butte over a year ago to accept the managership of the sporting woods department of a store there. Gillis has been a mining engineer at Butte for the last three years. Laswell is a bookkeeper and used 10 play on the Multnomah team at Portland, but moved to Butte a year and a half ago to accept a more lucrative position. | Such is the Butte team. Its opponents this season have not questioned its ama- teur standing. Now for the Olympic team the way it appears to Butte: McCormick of the Oregon was end at the Aunnapolis Naval Academy last sea- son. Erskine is a recent arrival from | England, where he played the Rugby | game. Sheehy was on the Santa Clara | College team last season. Ames of the army was West Point’s center last season. Smith captained Olympic last season, was tackle on the Califernia Varsity in 1893, and before that played at Cogswell Col- lege. Sexton vlayed tackle for Reliance all this season and tackle for Oiympic last | season. Porter has played with Olympic several seasons, was haitback on the Cali- fornia Varsity in 1894, and_ used to play with Amherst College. Nolan of the army was end for West Point last season. Code was quarter for Stanford last season. Morse has played with Olympic several years. Searight is a Stanford Varsity balfback of this season. Stickney is an old Harvard tackie and halfback, and came here this season to coach Olympic. Felton Taylor is a member of the Rehance team. The three other subs were devel- oped principally this season by Olympic. Such is the team that is representing the Olympic Club. Last night the Butte team attended the California Theater in a body. This fore- noon the visitors will take a long drive through the park and to the Chff. This afternoon they will engage 1n final prac- tice at Central Park and in the evening | will attend sorce theater. ! After the New Year game, also with | the Olympics, Butte will leave here for | Portland, where the finai maich of the season will be played with the Portland | Athletic Club. Immediately after that | the players will return to Butte and dis- | band. | Next _year the Butte team has planned | to go East, and will meet the Univer- sity of Pennsylvania, the Univesity of | Michigan, the Boston Athletic Ciuband the Chicapo Athletic Club. A match had been arranged with the University of Pennsylvania for this Christinas. It was to have been played at Butte, but had té be cancelle? on account of the cold weather. When the Butte team left home four days ago the thermometer registered 12 degrees above zero, but three weeks before that it was between 30 and 38 degrees below zero for five consecutive days and the wind made the weather particularly disagree- able for football on a frozen field. Ca N e Wants to Play Berkoley. Manager McMillan of the Butte team telegraphed last night to the University of Californias Varsity team in Los Angeles to see if arrangements could not be made for a Butte-Cahifornia game at BSanta Monica or Los Angeles some day between Cbristmas ana New Year's, The Berkeley eleven are to play the Los Angeles Athletic Club in Los Angeles on Christmas day, and the Butte manager hopes a second game may be arranged so that the Montana players can go south be- fore the final game bere with the Olym- pics.

Scott in the Turk-stréet Temple last even- ing. Dr. Scott is the editor of the So- cialist. The staze was tastefully decorated with mottoes and emblems of the Socialist varty. The American and the Socialist ensigns were displayed on each side of the platform. The meeting opened with a short introduction by Alfred Grimes. the chairman, after which a solo by Professor Cheapuy followed, at the close of which a reading was given from the Coming tion by Secretary Theodore Lynch. Dr. Scott reviewed the three basic prin- ciples of socialism, which he claimed form a base for the great social move- ment and upon which rest largely what- ever there is of human interest and at- traction for the great majority of man- kind. Right economics, good order aris- ing from good organization and govern- ment and good morals or ethics are essentially necessary to form a compact, harmonious base or foundation for society to rest upon and are apsolutely indispen- sable to the welfare of the commonwealth as they are characterized bv the funda- mental principles of strength and excel- lence. Continuing, the lecturer said: ‘‘Liberty as related to economic: needs a broader definition than our statesmen are wont to give it. Many men are inclined to regard as heresy the doctrine of common owner- ship of land.”” He pointed out the natu- ral, humanitarian and altruistic features of the socialist movement and added: ‘A divine law obliges man to love his neigh- bor as himself, and this law the socialists are trying to obey.”’ ————— The first Anthropological Society, for the study of mankind considered with reference {0 the animal history of the rac2, was founded in London in 1863, NEW TO-DAY.
