THE NEW RAILROAD.
The Plans for the New Road Near
Completion.

The plans for the construction Of the
new railroad between Baltimore and
Philadelphia are gradually aEsoach.
ing completion. 1t is intended In the
first place to build aline from Whining
ton to Philadelphia. A consection can
be made with the West Chester Rail-
road, which road, it is alleged, can be
reached by q railroad not exceeding II
miles in length. aud then 1t would be
8 miles shorter than the present route.
They have an idea also Of tunneling
the city, or Of going along Monroe or
Madison street, and crossing the Brandy
wine above the permanent bridge at
Market and King streets. They think
they can issue excursion tickets at a
profit from this city, going and return
ing for fifty cents.
An effort is now being made to secure
control of the D. W. & N. r. B., or its
franchise. The D. W. X. R., has been
secured, and Col. Henry MoComb the
leading spirit in the new enterprise has
secured very large portion of the
stock Of the West Chester Railroad. II
has been stated positively that the por-
ton Of the road between Wilmington
and Philadelphia will he built in less
than one year.

Work Delayed.

For the past week wsrkmen have
ceased building the addition to Diefsn-
DORIS Clothing House, Fourth and
Market streets. When Mr.. C. F. Ru-
dolph purchased the property from Mr..
De Won it was with the understanding
that he bought ths ground from the
store on the northwestern corner of
Fourth and Market streets to the fence
around the yard of the adjoining builo-
ing on Fourth street. The bsioklayers
in building the addition made an Offset
in the rear and this blocked up an alley
which the adjoining property owners
claimed they had used for the past
twenty years and which they still had
the right of nsing. AS the matter
would cause trouble Mr.. Rudolph had
the wall removed, thus causing the rear
of the building to be tan or twelve inches
narrower than it otherwise would have
been. The matter has been SATISFACTORY.

Mayor Kalloch Entangled.

At the meeting of the San Francisco
Board of Supervisors, on Monday even
ing, the Judiciary Committee, to whom
the utterances Of Mayor Kslloch had
been referred, presented long report.
The report reviewed the history of the
labor agitation, charged Kalloch with
having "encoursged the lawless ele-
ment, and endeavored to keep them in
such a disposition and temperament
as to commit an outbreak when
ever it should suit his purposes; that
he has impeached the honesty of the
whole community; accused various
branches Of the city government Of cor
ruption and dereliction of duty and un-
der pretsnse Of counselling the mob
against violence, insidiously advised
them to be in readiness for hloodshed
and the overthrow of the authorities" :"
The committee expressed the opinion
that "Kalloch is unscrupulous, unprin-
ciplsd and devoid Of integeity and of
fidelity to the public interests, and
that the time has arrived for the
people to express their condemna
tion of his acts, and recommend
that something promptly be done to vim
dicate the fair fame Of the municipality
by judicial inquiry into Kallock's
ease" Mayor Kslloch, who presided
at the meeting of the Supervisors, put
the question on the adoption of the re-
port, and it was carried by mani
nous vote. A resolution was then
adopted directing the Finance Commit.
tee to cause judicial proceedings TO be
for the removal Of the. Mayor
from Office.

The steamer Gaelic arrived at San

the Chinese forces having crossed the

together to hear the Abbott English
Opera Company in"Pauland Virginia. "
IL was rendition of varied merit-part
Of it was Of an exceedingly high order
while much fell far below the most
tempered expectations of the audience.
Miss Emma Abbott is o splendid singer
but lacks enc thing-sympathy; her
voice has net that magnetism which
charms an audience and makes 1t feel
in close sympathy with the singer.
Further than this she sang pleasingly
in the extreme, and the singing Of her
numbers in the early part of the con-
cert was b genuine triumph. Miss Alb
bott's vOioe is one OF unusual vocal
volume, and is in perfect coAirol. Hsr
singing, however, in the third act: was
extremely comaon' place, to the sur
prise of all.
Decidedly the best singer in the COM

by the rendition last night was Nine.
