Supervisors Are Asked to Grant Per- mission for the Operation of a Steam Road on Illinois Street. RS ey The San Francisco and San Joaquin Val ley Railway Company yesterday filed a petition for a franchise to enter the city, a privilege such as is now enjoyed by the Southern Pacific Company. The petition asks that the corporation be granted “the right and privilege of constructing, maintaining and operating a steam railroad of standard gauge and the | ary sidetracks, switches, curves, , therefor, for the carrying of passen- | gers and freight thereon and thereover | for hire, upon that certain street in the | city and county of San Francisco, State of California, as follows: Upon Illinois street from the rorth line of Fourth street | D R e RS SRR O to the north line of First aveénue South | for a double track, the center lines of | tracks to be thirteen feet apart. placed | equi distances each side of the center line of the stree The petitioner alleges that it form part of a transcontinental system of rai roads and that it has more than fifty miles of railroad actually constructed and in operation. A franchise is asked for the term of fifty years from the 26th day of February, 18 When asked concerning the application for a franchise Chief Engineer Storey of the Valley road said: “Five vears ago we petitioned the Supervisors for a franchise to run our tracks over lllinois street, from | Fourth street to the city limits. As we | a were in no hurry about the matter, but | wished merely to declare our future in- tention, we permitted the petition to be pigeon-holed. ow we are ready to take the matter up. ‘It is at present intended to run a spur south of the China basin to Butch- ertown, so as to tap not only that dis- but the Union Iron Works, the sugar ¢ and many other important manu- | fa. ries in that vicinity. Later on, if it Is decided to extend the line southward, this spur will become part of our main'line. We do not anticipate any trouble in secur- ing the franchise, as there is very little public improvement along the line al- ready sur it is nearly all mud flat.” _———e——————— BURYING A FORGERY.

Her owner, Barnett Fithian, his pretty wife and their guest, George Loughbor- ough, were allowed to come ashore yester- day. All agree that there wads no ground for scandal in the return of Miss Kate Clement of Oakland, who came back sev- eral months ago. Seasickness and the de- pression following the South Sea climate are responsible for the dissolution of so- cial partnership, according to the return- ing navigators, and so far as the gossips are concerned that will have to end it. The Rover was formerly the schooner r,” Her Gallant Owner and His Pretty Wife, Who Voyaged to the ‘South Seas. Baranoff. She was purchased by Mr. Fithian, a Santa Barbara capitalist, and + D e e R R S S B R R day the captain laughed at the story, and as the best evidence that there was noth- ing in it said that he was still in command and as contented as could be. Mr. and Mrs. Fithian and Mr. Lough- barough secured apartments at the Palace as soon as they were landed. All ex- resséd extreme surprise that there had en so much newspaper talk over their cruise, and particularly that there had been any suspicion of scandal connected with the homecoming of Miss Clement. “Why,” said Mr, Fithian, “we had a delightful time, marred only by the loss of Miss Clement’'s charming society. She was seasick nearly all the time on the outward voynfie. 'he heat of the tropics increased her illness, so that she was mis- erable all the time. She did not want to Spoil our trip. so she insisted on returning home from Tahiti on the mail packet. It renamed the Rover. Lust August, with a crew of eight men and a sailing master, his wife, George Loughborough and Miss Clement, Mr. Fithian set sail for a pleas- ure cruise to the South Sea islands. Since the departure many stories, more or less sensational, purporfing to have come from the party, have been published. Miss Clement’s uncxpected return furnished food for gossip, but she steadfastly re- fused to tell why she had left the Rover. Later came a yarn that the owner of the boat, in a state of unusual eXuberance, had driven the salling master overboard at the point of a pistol, and that the navi- gating officer sought refuge from the bul- lets of his master's gun under the keel of the gallant craft.
