14 R P AT P T R S TR THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, APRIL 15, 1897 RAILROAD INTO TH SIERRAS Tracks Already Laid the Mother Lode Country. in WILL BE A HUNTINGTON FEEDER. Bonds to the Amount of Over Three Millions to Be Issued. STAGING INTO THE YOSEMITE TO BE REDUCED. Benefit to a Great Mining Section Oakdale and Coulterville the Termini. Construction work on a new railroad in the “‘mother Jode counties of the Sierras has actually begun, and within the next few months a standard-gauge railroad 124 miles long will be in operation from Oak- dale, Stanislans County, to Coulterville, Mariposa County. Some time ago W. Bullock conceived the project of constructing an electric line as a feeder to the Valley road. The road was to be known as the Sierra Pacific and was torun into the heart of the mining sections of Calaveras, Amador and Tuol- umne counties from Stockion. Rights of way were secured and other preliminaries were arranged, but for some reason the enterprise was not matured. Meanwhile others, inciuding Prince Poniatowski, bacame interested in the idea of ovening direct rail communica- tion into this district, and the result was that Bullock transferred his rights of way and other privileges to the new parties, who incorporated and organized under the title of the Sierra Railroad Company of California. Without flourish of trumpets those back of the new company began work about ten deys ago, and to-day two miles of track uave been laid and more than five miles of the new road have been graded. The constraction work is in charge of the Ericsson Bros., who have instructions to h it with the ntmost rapidity. The proposed !ine will pass through Jamestown, Argels and probably Sonora. At the latter point there are some differ- ences over right of way. and shouid these not be arranged to the satisfaction of the projectors the line will be puit around the town. For most of the remaining por- tion of the road the right of way is virtn- ally secured. At no point will there be more than a 2 per cent grade, and this will be for a short distance only. Two great objects it is claimed will be accomplished by the building of this road. It will give re: and direct access to the mining country, which has hitherto been reached only by a circuitous and incon- venient route, and will, among other im- portant things, permit of timber being | brought into the mining camps at a com- paratively low cost. Sidney D. Freshman of New York is the president of the company and John M. Bonner is secretary. There is 10 be a meeting of the stockholders shortly, when the present board of directors and officers will be replaced by an entirely new body of men, from the president down. An important step in connection with the enterprise was the recording yester- day by Jesse W. Lilienthal, the attorney for the company. of two chattel mortgages a8 security for $3,720,000 wortn of bonds to be issued by the company to raise funds for the prosecution of the work. The issue of bonds was authorized by the directors at a meeting held on the 10th of April. It will also reduce the staging into the Yosemite Valley to one-third of what it is to-day, even by the most favorable route. Although it is claimed that the new corporation is entirely independent of the Southern Pacific, it is admitted that it will serve as a jeeder to that system, con- necting with the east side branch of that company, as already stated, at Oakdale. It is understood that when the Sierra Railroad is in operation all the Yosemite tourist travel will bediverted from the present Southern Pacific ropte, via Ray- mond and Wawona, to the new line via Oakdale, as most of the long stage ride, now part of the trip, will be avoided. One isrue of the bonds is to be for $1,860,000, pavable in gold, to run for forty years, 10 bear 6 per cent, and for the pay- ment of which a sinking fund isto be provided. These are secured by a first mortgage on all the proverty, rights and privilezes of the company now owned by it, or which may come into its possession. The other issue is for the same amount, also bearing the same rate of interest and to run for the same period of time, and 2re to be known as income bonds, that is, the interest is to be paid from the inceme of the road, but must not exceed 6 per cent. This is secured by a second mort- gage, covering the same property that is epecified in ihe first mortgage. The bonds are already printed, and 1t Is understood that they are virtually alresdy disposed of. Including both morigages, the line will be bonded for about $30,000 a mile. The Anglo-California Bank is to be the depository of the sinking fund, Preparing for the Convention. The Ancient Order of Hibernians, Board of Erin, is preparing throughout the State for its annual convertion, which is to take place in this City next month. Within the next fort. —_— NEW TO-DAY.

The creditors of the embarrassed whole- sale liguor firm of Coblentz, Pike & Co. developed a disposition yesterday to deal leniently with the house rather than to force it to the wall, and there now appears to be a fair chance for it to survive the disaster and avoid insolvency. This 1s practically the only new de- velopment in the unfortunate firw’s effairs since the publication in yesterday’s Cavr of its financial troubies. T.e creditors have agreed that aggresive measures at this time would result more seriously for themseives than they had previously anticipated. Besides, the friends of Boaz P.k:, who since the re- cent death of Joseph Coblentz has had sole charge of the business, have come to the front for him en masse, and are using every influence to obtain tor bim a chance. Th 'm’s liabilities at the present time will foot up nearly $100,000, but an ex- amination of the books shows the firm has good bills outstarding which will about cover this amount. Mr. Pike's 1opulanty in the busines would have much to do with the leniency being accorded him. Besides, if an im mediate adjustment shou!d be demanded, scarcely over 25 cents on the dollar could be realizea by the creditors, whereas, by exhibiting a little patience, they might realize consiaerable more. At least, this is the couclusion they have reached of their own accord, and Mr. Pike was notified yesterday tnat he might continue to con- duct the business until further notice. This means that no obstacles will be thrown in his way until afier the probate proceedings ir: connection with the Cob- ientz estate are sufficiently under way to determine whether or not there will be any legal entanglements. A SPEEDY MISSION CAR It Struck Eaward L. Levey's Wagon and Crippled Him. Witnesses Who Testified That the Motorman Was Coniused and Made No Effort to Stop There was another interesting session of the Edward L. Levey suit against the Market-street Railway in Judge Bahrs’ court yesieraay. Yestercay's testimony tended to estab: lish the plaintiff’s contention that the car was going at a rate of speed greater than is allowed by law, and that no warning of the car’s approach was given by ringing a bell in accordance with the requirements of the city ordinance. In regard to the law to compel the ring- ing of a bell, 8. M. Shortridge offered in evidence the city ordinance on that ques- tion. Attorney Charles L. Ackerman ob- jected on the ground that this matter had not been specially pleaded. Argument on this point was rTeserved until the testi- mony is ali presented to the jury. Eugene Brackett, a teamster, testified that he was on Mission street, going toward Erie, when he saw Mr. Levey’s team approach the track. At that mo- ment the car was from 150 to 300 feet from the wagon, going at a territic speed. thought it was equal to filteen miles an hour. The bell was not rung and no warning was given. The car crashed into the wagon while he was looking. There seemed to be no attempt to stop the car. He thought the gripman was confused. A. Gunnison, driver of a drayage team, testified that when the accident occurred he was on Mission street, near Erie. He saw tbe horses on the track when the car was sixty feet away. It was plunging along at the rate of something more than twelve miles an hour. He heard no bell, and could not perceive that any effort was put _fortn by the gripman to slow down. The speed was not noticeably diminished until after the collision. After it struck the wagon the car went fifty feet belore it was stopped. The man in the wagon, Mr. Levey, was thrown ueadlong to the gronud. Joseph H. Nicholls, a milk-dealer, was sworn as a witness on behalt of the de- fendant. He was not asked in regard to the excessive speed of the car. In fact, 1t Wwas noted that none of the witnesses for the railroad company were called on to give opiuions on that point. Mr. Nich- olls said that he was standing on the front dummy of the car when the catastrophe occurred. He saw Mr. Levey on the ground and agreed with a remark by Mr. Shortridge that it was a miracle the man was not killed. The witness said he re- membered hearing the bells of the car ringing for the purpose of warning the occupant of the wagon. He slso heard several men shout for the driver to look out, but couldn’t say whether he shoutea ornot. He thought that the car went not more than six feet aiter striking the wagon. John Bunker, a paver, testified that he was repairing the track on Mission street, tween Kourteenth and Erie, and that he was not injured by the car as he thought he would have been if the car had gone any great distance alter striking the wagon. It is expected that the argument of counsel will be heard to-day and that the case will go to the jury this evening. —_————— CHOSEN FRIENDS' ELECTION. The Second Day’s Session of the Order Closed the Meeting. The secona day’'s session of the Chosen Friends was held yesteriay, at which the following officers were elected: Grand councilor, M. Boehm, San Francisco (re-elected); eraud assistant councilor, W. H. Savage, Sun Pedro; grand vice-councilor, D, J. H grand recorder, 8.

Biddle, Los ‘Angeles; grand seniry, Mrs. 3. E. Clark, Oakland, and grand trustee, C. T. Dennis, San Francisco. ‘Two hours of the afternoon session were occupied over the question of holding biennial sessions hereafter., In yester. day’s proceedings it was decided 1o hold biennial sessions, but on motion of M. M. Glenn of Sacramento 10 reconsider the vote of yesterday on the ground that the majority of tihe delegates did not under- stand the subject a reconsideration was bad, and aiter a protracted wordy war the motion was again carried, and the result was hailed with considerable enthusiasm by its advocates. The grand councilor’s contingent fund of $1000 per year was not disturbed, but the grand recorder had bis saiary raised from $100 per month to $150. After disposing of the reporis of com- mittees the officers were installed, and the leglgnd Council adjourned until'April 22, A ball and_reception was given in the large hall of the Odd Fellows building in the evening. ———————— A Verdict of $10,000. OAKLAND, CaL., April 14 —The Booth trial was concluded to-night. The jury went outabout 5 o'clock, and after jonr hours they decided on a verdict of $10,000. The suit was brought bv Frank Booth against the Consolidated Railroad Lines of F. M. Smith for killing his two :mz girls on Eighth street, &nc Oak- lan He | WON ON A NEW POINT OF LAW Santa Rosa Will Have to Pay Her Water Works Bonds. Imporiant Decision Rendered by Judge Morrow in the Cir- cuit Court. It Means the Saving of About $150,000 to the S:ligmans of New York In giving judgment in favor of the Sel- 1gmans of New York for $11,000, principal and interest due on bonds issued by the city of Santa Rosa, Judge Morrow on Monday last passed upon a novel point in law raised by Jesse W. Lilienthal, the at- worney for the New York bankers. It was claimed by Lilienthal that where a tax had been levied and collected for a specific purpose, no taxpayer had the right, subsequ-nt to such levy and collec- tion, to intervene for the purpose of pre- venting the application of the money so raised to the payment of the indebtedness for which tie fund was createa. ‘When the city of Santa Rosa decided to construct its own water works instead of purchasing the plant of Mark McDonala and those interested with him, it author- ized the issuance of $165,000 worth of bonds, which were bought by the Selig- mans. The first lot of bonds matured in Decem- ber, 1895, and were duly paid, and also in- terest on the entire issue to that date. In the meantime five or six different suits were brought by McDonald to re- strain the work of construction on the new plant and to restrain the city from paving the interest on the bonds and the bonds when they matured. The suits were first brought in Santa Rosa. Then on the plea that the judges there were biased Judge Daingerfield of this City was selected to try the case. -After that application was made (o remove the case from Sonoma to Marin County on the ground that the Sonoma County judges were taxpayers and, therefore, in- terested in the matter to be aajudicated upon. The matter was then transferred 10 the court of Judge Angelotti. Last January Lilienthal, as attorney for the bondholders, brought an action in the i Federal court for the amount due his | clients, making the city of Santa Rosa the | defendant. The defendant was ty davs to answer. given After the answer Judge Morrow for judgment on the plead- ings. Previous to this McDonald asked leave | to intervene on the ground that the city of Santa Rosa was in collusion with the bondholders, would not honestly defend the suit, that the bonds were illegal, and that whether or not the city was honest he, as a taxpayer, had sufficient interest 10 intervene. At this stage of the proceedings the at- torney for the plaintiffs made the point that, lrrespective of any contention made by the intervenor and regardless of the truth of anything he alleged, when the bonds were allowed to be issued and the tax had been levied and collected for the purpose of paving those bonds, 1t is 100 late for any Mxpaver to complain. Judge Morrow decided the case flatly on this point and gave judgment for piaintiff. Yesterday McDonald filed a bill in equity to restrain the execution of the judement. The next proceeding of the plaintiff will probably be to ask for & mandamus order- ing the City Treasurer to satisfy the judg- ment out of the funds in his hands raised by means of the special tax levy. THE BALBOA BOULEVARD About $10,000 More Will Necessary to Com- plete It A Subscription in the Nature of a Pleasant Surprise—Many Men Wish 10 G» E st Contributions to the boulevard fund are flowing in, but rather sluggishly. A pleas- ant surprise, however, was worked yester- day hy the sending in of the following let- ter with the corresponding inclosure: William M. Bunker, Chairman Citizens' Relicf Commiltee of” Unemployed -DEAT 1 please find check No. 5671 10 your order for $241 31, the balance of a fund on hand con- tributed Iast year by the wholesale mercharts of San Francisco for their annual picnic and summer holiday.

FoLGER, Treasurer Merchants’ Pienic. 1t is estimated thatabout $10,000 will be required to properly complete the boule- vard from the Aimshouse to Ingleside. The financial sratement issued yesterday by Treasurer Daniel Meyer shows that after the deduction of the payroll of the preceding dav the balance of credit to the fund was §616930. The total amount spent up to that time was $14,805 15. There were 453 men at work_yesterday, excluding the drivers of the sixty-six teams. A workman named Williston had his band badly crushed yesterday while en- goged in running the iramcars. The Alms- house surgeon rendered him assistance and the man was soon at work with hus arm 1 a sling. Forty new tickets were given out at the headquarters, corner of Sacramento and Leide:dorff streets. I'wenty recently ls- sued and not called for will be destroyed s00n if not used. The Golden Gate Park Driving Associa- tion is planning for a great racing day in aid of the fund, and for the same purpose Henry A. Butters of South A rica will lec- ture at Y. M. C. A. Hall Monday, April 19, at r. M. The tickets (vrice 50 cents) may be obtained from the boule- vard committee or at the hall on the evening of the lecture. President Leffingwell said yesterday that many of the men are desirous of go- ing East, where they have homes. Others think there will be work along the Mis- sissippi River, owing to the recent floods. The railroads, however, have offered only a fare of $33 to the Mis<ouri River.

Out. Greggains and Ste zoer Fought Well but Ended in a Draw. A G:ood Night's Entertainmeat Usnder the Ausp.ces of the Pacfic Ctub. The sports who witnessed the contests at Woodward's Pavilion last evening un- der the auspices of the Pacific Athietic Club retirea more than pleased with the entertainment. The first event was an eight-round go between a white man named Goff and a colored zentleman named Johnson, but Goff had so much the better of the argument that the bout was stopped in the second round and the decision was given in favor of Goif. Referee Gilbert Pringle was selected to decide the two “‘events of the evening.” The first was a tifteen-round contest between Lon Agnew and Thompson, the colored lightweight of Salt Lake. This was a first-class bout up to the eleventh round, when Thompson fell in Agnew’s corner just as the gong sounded the end of the round. The blow he received was not a heavy | one, but the coon, for reasons best known to himself. thought that he had had | enough of the game and concluded to go | |out by the ea.y route. The gong saved | bim for another round, and in the twelfth he went down turee times, and, although he dropped the last time to his knees without receiving a blow, he remained | down until counted out. It can be safely said that he either showed the white feather or was i fluenced by gamblers to allow his op- | ponent to win. He fought well up to the | time he fell in Agnew's corner from a | slight jab in the mouth. The ‘next and last event was a twenty- round contest between Jack Stelzner and Alex Greggains. For the first twelve rounds Greggains scored a good lead. His blows, 1t is true, lacked steam, but he continually kept his glove on the left siae of Stelzner's face | until a bright red spot made its appear- | ance on his opponent’s jaw. | Occasionally Stelzner landed a body | blow and a left which landed slightly on | Greggains’ nose, but the fireman had cer- tainly all the better of the argument up | to this point of the game. In the thirteenth round the excitement commenced, as the fighting was compara- | tively tame up to this juncture. Stelzner, prompted by his secoiids to move in and | accomplish something, made a charge at | bis clever opponent, and in a rally he | happened to land his right on Greggains’ | jaw. The fireman staggered back and re- ceived a left hook under the ear, which sent him 10 tbe boards. Greggains regained his pins before the ten seconds were up and Stelzner rushed at him like a mad buil. Greggains, who was in a partially dazed state, ducked cleverly from right and leit swings aimed at Lis jaw and saved him- self from defeat by hard clinching, Stelzner slashed at him wildly, but failed to plant his big bunch of fives on a vulnerable spot. The gong sounded and Greggains was given another chance to redeem himself. There was great excitement when the fireman was burried to his cornsr by his seconds. In the fourteenth round Stelzner made another rush at his game, but Alec was too clever and avoided the swinging blows and upper cuis by ducking and | guarding. Finally Stelzner grew a bit { weary, and toward the end of the round Greggains caught him two hard left jabs on the jaw, which dazed the famous traine: of Bob Fitzsimmons. | Stelzner recoversd from the effects of the blow and landed a rignt hook nn Greg- gains’ neck, the receiver landing up against the ropes, almost gone; but Stelz- | mer was so far exhausted that he could | not send home a finish blow and again | the zong saved Greggains. When time was cailed for the fifteenth round and Ste'zner toed the scratch, his left ear iooked like a cauliffiower. It was swollen 10 the size of a baseball, while Gregzains’ left eye was almost Closed, Bowz: men being weak from the fast fight- ing of the previous rounds there were only a few exchanges in the round and no dam- age was done. In the mixteenth round Stelzner made one more attempt toland his right, but Greggains ducked and sent his right across, landing squarely on the point of Stelzner’s jaw and sending the receiver on his back. The excitement now was intense, and evervbody was standing up and shouting for Greggains. Stelzner was down seven seconds, but when he got upand faced the | music be placed his hands over his face | and protected himself from a knockout until the bell came to his rescue. The seventeentl, eighteenth and nine- teenth rounds were uneventful, but in the twentieth and last round Grecgains forced the fignting and opened Stelzner’s cauli- flowe; with a stiff swinging right-hand punch. ‘The bloud flowed down Stelzner’s shoul- ders and Greggains was looking for an opening to send home the final touch when the gong sounded and both men re- tired to their respective corners, tired and satisfied that they had put up a good mill that was satistactory to the club and the spectators. The referee decided that the contesf was a draw, but although the decision was fairiy satisfactory it must be said that | Greggains bad done ali the leading and had taken the offensive from first to last. He certainly had a good shade the bet- ter of the mill, and a decision in his favor would have been received with general satisfaction, The contests were first call all round. Jim Neal, the horseman, was one of the audience at the fight, and when he leit the arena he found some one had picked his pocket to_the amount of $160 in coin and notes, Harry W. Waldon was locked up At the Seventeenth-sireet station on suspicion of being the thief. W. CAMRON MARRIED. Miss Babcock, a Stenographer in the Street Office, the Brid.
