Frank zehners Condition.

Frank Zehner, the man who was stabbed
night before last by John Kurz in beer
saloon on K street, between Sixth and
Seventh, was removed to the County Hos
pital yesterday morning. He was resting
quietly last evening, but his wound is con-
sidered very serious one and is likely TO
prove fatal. There have been no important
developments in the case beyond those
published in the RECORD UNION yesterday
morning. KurZ claims that he is unable
to remember anything about the difficulty
at the saloon farther than that he was there
and that he stabbed Zehner. He SAYS that
during the evening Zehner struck him in
the head with rock on L street, near the
Garibaldi House. How he came to be in
Zehner's company afterwards he could not
tell.
Yesterday afternoon Michael Bonkratz
called at the station house to see Kurz. He
said that he and kurZ had been working
together as hod- carriers on the new build
ing just west of the Golden Eagle Hotel.
He lived at the old William Tell House,
| and on Monday night when he came home
from work he met Kurg there. The latter
was drunk and struck him twice, where.
upon he knocked him down. Zehner was
| present and wanted to treat all hands, but
| the proprietor put Kurz out and he and
| Zehner went off together. He had not
seen them after that.
| Kurz says that he came to this State from
st. Louis about eleven months ago, and
| has since worked in San Francisco, at Port
Costa and on the snowsheds up the rail.
road. He says that he has never beer
arrested before in this State for any offense

ANOTHER BOOM.
The k-Street Railroad to be Built and
Operated Before July.

Operated Before July
Nothing 80 much assists in building up 8
town as the extension of street railways
into various parts of its suburbs. On Mon
day next R. s. Carey will break ground for
the Kstreet road. This will be branch
of the city railway extending from Tenth
and K, on K, to Twentieth. The rails, ties,
etc., are all on the ground, and the road
will be completed and in operation within
90 days. The road will at first run with
swing cars from Tenth to Twentieth
Shortly afterwards, when more cars can be
procured, the road will be extended to
Twenty-fourth and K streets, and then the
K-street cars will run through 10 the depot
the same as those on II and o. This will
give Is cars on the route from Tenth and K
to the depot, or a car every three minutes,
which will be a great accommodation to
the travelling public. Mr.. Carey is building
three cars at his shops on Twentieth street
for the new road. They will be what is
termed double enders," open, and painted
green, with green lights. He is laying a
double-track from II to K, on Twentieth
street, and during fair week all the cars
will be run direct to Agricultural Park.
Just as soon as the K-street road is COM
pleted the workmen will commence build
ing the road on Nineteenth street, from o
to Y. This road will be operated with
swing-cars, transferring to the O-street line,
and will accommodate a section that is
rapidly filling up with homes.
Mr.. Carey says he expects next year TO
extend his lines II, K and o to Twenty
eighth street.
The new cars will be so constructed that
they can be used as open canopy cars in
the summer season and as closed cars in
the winter.
There was time" Mr.. Carey remarked
to the reporter, when H was considered
the boss street of the town for car-riding,
but o street discounts it now. The cause
of it is the rapidly building up of the
southeastern suburbs of the city. When
the Nineteenth street road is built it will
make splendid feeder for o street, and the
line of travel over that route will almost
be doubled"

LIGHTED WITH ELECTRICITY,
The Warehouse Electric Lights Put In
the Railroad Shops.


W. C. Clark, agent of the Warehouse
Electric and Manufacturing Company,
came up from the Bay few days since,
and put dynamo in the machine shop of
the Southern Pacific Company. The work
was done under the direction of d. Decker,
electrician. Last evening the machine shop
was brilliantly illuminated with fifteen
1000 candle power lamps, and the me-
chanics could see to operate some of the
machines as well as in daylight The only
trouble in the use of an artificial light is
the shadow of intervening objects. The
lamps are placed in such a way that most
of this is overcome. This is a new system
in this city, and is the invention of a
former resident of Sacramento, A. G.
Warehouse, who has manufacturing
establishment in Hartford. 1t is presided
over by his brother, Frank G. Waterhouse,
for many years with w. p Coleman in this
city.
The blacksmith shop has five of these
lamps, which give plenty of light for all
purposes. One beauty of this lamp is that
it does not flicker, but gives constant and
steady light. This is the same lamp that
was placed in the ferry steamer Piedmont
some weeks ago.
