Wahmuth, a fireman, was found in the cab of his engine at the Alameda Point yards this morning at 6 o'clock. George Elliott, an engineer, who had come to take charge of the locomo- tive, made the grewsome discovery as he climbed upon the tender of the big ma- chine. Wahmuth was employed on a switch :ngine and went to work last evening at o'clock. He was then apparently in his usual good health and performed his la- bors during the night without any com- plaint to his cabmate, Engineer Oliver Lane. When the switching crew com- pleted its work this morning at 4 o'clock the locomotive was left standing on a siding in the vards to await the arrival of the day crew. Wahmuth, as was his habit, remained with his engine, intend- ing to take the first train from the pier to his home at 1218 Broadway at 6 o’clock. He was noticed by Dave McLean, a work- man at the yards, at 4:30, busying him- self about the locomotive, wiping and | polishing the brass and steel fittings in | the s | fireman w That was the last time the s seen alive. When Engineer George Elliott clambered into the cab at 6 o'clock and ascertained, to his horror, was a corpse he notffied Deputy Coroner James Fowler and the body was conveyed to the local Branch Morgue, Wahmuth was but 23 years of age, and had been in the employ of the Southern Pacific Company for nine months. He was always strong and rugged;_ and, ac- cording to members of his family, had never suffered an ill day since his child- hood.

WASHINGTON, March 11.—In agcord- ance with notice served yesterday the diplomatic representatives of every one of the South and Central American countries now in Washington assembled at the State Department to-day to dis- cuss the Intercontinental raflway pro- ject. Acting Secretary Loomis presided over the meeting, and introduced ex-Sen-/ ator Henry G. Davis, a member of the permanent intercontinental rallway com- mittee. Davis gave a most.hopeful character to the undertaking and said he brought word from Andrew Carnegie of his will- ingness to advance the building of the raflway in a financial sense at the proper time. The work undertaken by Charles M. Pepper, the special commissioner, was ina dorsed by all present and, Pepper being personally known to most of the repre- sentatives, they pledged themselves to write immediately to their respective governments recommending that they facilitate in every way FPopper's inves- tigations. According to surveys which have been cab. made, there will be required for the com- | pletion of the intercontinental system not less than $200,000,000. There is a little over 6000 miles of railroad already constructed, while surveys estimate a total distance of over 10,000 miles. Carnegie has long been interested in the project, as has ex- Senator Davis of West Virginia, R. C. Kerens of St. Louis and other capitalists, Senator Elkins is also reported to be in- terested n the matter. Whether or not steps have been taken by these gentlemen in the direction of organization cannot be learned.
