Aug. 18.—A report is being circulated here to-the effect @ that ta Fe Railroad Company has been making. inquiries here < relative to the shipments made annually from the fruit belt commencing :F £ from Winters and vicinity and covering the orchard lands to Suisun, £ | with a view of building a railroad through the section named. If carried - | % out it is probable the road will be extended to Collinsville, where the % I santa owns 1500 feet of water front. From this point it is surmised X | 4 that a ferryboat will be run to Antioch to connect with the Santa Fe o ) branch in Contra Costa County. It is stated that in the near future the: () 5N of the projectors will be de known and investigations mad. 5 ¢ to inducements regarding rights ot wa ¢ 9 0 RO BENRETE s < el 4 \s called to the witness his reminlscences and I would help nim.” ( ter continued his ok o) *3adea , Picquart, “since I am terrupted yesterday by ling with this guestion of comment ent of court for the day of Major du Paty de Clam, perm 10 point out to you, gentlemen, cument w ot the propert rttcular Minister.

The Sherman has better steaming coal than was figured on, and that may make a few hours’ difference In her actual time; still the chances are that in no event will she be off the Farallones before noon of the 24th. Naut pert J. T. MeMillan fizures that at noon yesterday (San Francisco time) the Sherman was about in latitude 4 north, longitude 162 degrees 30 minutes west, and was therefore a little over 1800 nautical miles from San . On account of the crowds that assemble in front of the window on the Market-street side of the business office of The Call it is almost impossible nowadays for pedestrians to pass by. A large fac similc of the map shown above is the drawing card, and the attention it attracts indicates the great interest taken by San Franciscans in the course of the good ship that is bringing the valiant California boys nearer home day by day. At night the crowds STRUVES REFUSED 10 COMPROMISE | Preliminary Hearing of Peter Storm. e S WAS RELEASED ON BAIL e ACCUSED OF ATTEMFTING TO MURDER HIS NEPHEW. gt The Case Has Stirred Up a Bitter Family Feud and Trouble Is Expected When the Trial Begins. g Special Dispatch to The Call. WATSONVILLE, Aug. 18.—The pre- liminary examination of Peter Storm. charged with an attempt to murder hi nephew, Lawrence Struves, took place before Judge Hawkins to-day and Storm was bound over to appear before the Superior Court, with bail fixed at $3000. He furnished the required bonds, with George Seitz and Chris Storm as surety. It was thought for a time that the Struves would not actively prose- cute Storm, owing to a desire not to air family troubles in court, but the efforts put forth to effect a compromise are at an end and the fight is on to a finish. The Struves have retained ex-District Attorney Lindsay to assist District At- torney Knight in the prosecution, and Storm has retained for his defense S. F. Geil of Salinas and Rogers & ckoff of this city. Owing 1o the prominence of the Struves and Storms the trial will at- tract considerable attention, and it would not surprise any one if further trouble took place before the case is heard in the Superior Court. BURGLARS MAKE A RICH HAUL IN SAUSALITO Residence of J. W. Harrison Entered and Jewelry Carried Away. SAUSALITO, Aug. 18.—Several bold and determined attempts at house- breaking have been made here in the past few days and the town is in a most excited condition. In one in- stance the thieves secured jewelry and other-valuables estimated to be worth $2000. The poolrooms are blamed for the burgiaries on account of their pres- ence bringing so many rough and un- ruly characters into the town, and the antipathy manifested toward the gam- biing dens by the respectable element e of the condemn 3 nd part of the ¢ being the Diiheconcon <ic lonel said a number big tion of Dreyfu up the doc documents in it a and said —— === = s = = = e = = ments successi referring to the | police reports contained shov 5 § 2 ‘ - : e D e hing se t Dreyfus.

Last Wednesday evening J. W. Har- rison, the San Francisco coal magnate, retired with his family about 11 o’clock, after entertaining a number of guests. At midnight, while everybody in the house was sleeping, burglars effected an entrance through a rear window and secured a quantity of silver plate valued at $1000. Mrs. and Miss Dickens of San Francisco, who were guests of the family, lost a quantity of valuable Jewelry, including several diamonds. Among the valuables was a diamond breastpin valued —at $500. The total value of the bhooty secured by the ma- rauders aggregated $2000. On the following evening Arthur Pig- gott of Wildwood Glen, while lying in bed in the second story of his house, heard somebody on the lower floor and, arming himself, proceeded to investi- gate. As he descended the stairway his coming was heard by the thieves, two in number, who dropped a sack in which they had placed a quantity of Piggott rushed out as they were fleeing, but is not certain whether he hit either of them. On the same night an attempt was made to effect an entrance into the house of Mrs. Tillinghast through thz front door. The noise of a key turning in the lock awakened a member of the family, who lighted a lamp and started for the door. As the door opened e saw one man jumping the fence and another running down the road. The services of two San Francisco de- tectives have been secured in an en- deavor to discover the ‘identity of the thieves who looted the Harrison resi- dence. A close watch Is also being kept by the local authorities for any future attempts at burglaries. - LORD DUNBOYN IS CALLED TO REST LONDON, Aug. 18.—Lord Dunboyne is dead.
