THE UTAH ROAD.
How 1t Is Proposed to Protect the

HOW H lb PROPOSED 10 fTOteCt the
CITY.
The matter of the application of Col.
Marble, Mr.. Scott and others for fran
chise along the east bank OF the river for
railroad which is to 60 to Utah, is cre-
ating some excitement among those who
own property along the river over which
the line will have to run. One gentle
man who owns piece of land over
which the road will have to pass for 900
feet said yesterday that he had no objec-
ton to giving the right Of way provided
he was satisfied that the proposition to
build to Salt Lake and connect there
with an Eastern line was bonafde, but
he would not give tito some company who
would hold it for speculation or for the
purpose of selling to some other line who
might desire the same route. He sug-
gested that the company be required to
make a cash deposit with the city to
bind it to commence the road in ninety
days and finish the levee inside
of year. In. his opinion this would
prevent speculation and show that the
company meant business.
1t was also suggested that proviso
might be inserted in the franchise to the
effect that if the line is not transconti-
mental, such another company desiring
to enter the city over the same route
could purchase it by paying the expense
OF the building, together with one per
cent. per month on the money invested.
By this means the possibility that the
line would be local would be done away
with.
Colonel Marble and Mr.. Scott were
busy yesterday preparing the ordinance,
granting them a franchise, in order to
present it to the Council on Friday next
in proper shape. The land that they
ask for is strip along the river bottom
below Seventh street.

throwing he got into his buggy and

thought hest to bring the charge OF

THE UNDERWOODS.
A Charge of Battery which Fell tC
the Ground.

the GfOun0s
Mrs. Catherine Underwood of No. 33
Ann street was tried yesterday in Justice
Taney's court before jury on charge
of assault and battery and found not
guilty. The charge was brought against
her by DR.. w. E. Reed of No. Bonsello
avenue, who accused her of having thrown
a rock at him one day about week ago
when the two met on Ann street.
This is an episode in a long story of
quarrels and troubles in which William
Underwood and his wife have been figur-
ing for some time. 1t is claimed that
Mr.. Underwood's mind is affected and
that he is not entirely responsible for his
actions. He is an old G. A. r. man and
has many friends in the city. Over
year ago his petition for pension arrears
was granted and he received the sum of
$1,36O in lump. His wife thought his
judgment in the matter of the proper
disposal of this money was not to be
trusted, and DIR. Reed, who claimed to
have Underwood's interests very thor
oughly at heart, thought SO too. In spite
of the protests of Mrs. Underwood the
money was turned over to the charge of
DIR. Reed, who invested it somewhere in
Missouri. 1t was in the days when prop
erty in Los Angeles was steadily advanc-
ing in value and she believed that it
might be invested with better advantage
here.
Out of the family quarrels there finally
grew suit for divorce, which Under
wood himself brought against his wife,
claiming that she had ill-treated him.
In the trial of the case the matter of the
investment of the money came out, and
there was very acrimonious exchange
of incivilities between the Doctor and
Mrs. Underwood. She declared that
DIR. Reed was false friend and had
made off with the money, thus robbing
her and her children. The suit fell
through, but the parties to it refused to
live together again and have ever since
been separated.
Just prior to this Mrs. Underwood
brought charge of insanity against her
husband and made an effort to have him
sent to Stockton. DIR. Reed again threw
himself in the breach and did his best to
prove that Underwood was compos mentis,
and it was 80 decided by the Commits
sioners. This made the quarrel more
bitter.
A few DAYS ago Mrs. Underwood came
upon Dr. heeu on AM st!eot, Just as ne
was about to climb into his buggy. Her
little daughters were with her. At the
sight of the man who had caused her,
as che thought. all this trouble which
had come to her so late in life when she
was least able to endure it, she lost her
self.control and spoke her feelings.
''There he is," she said to the girls
t'there is the scoundrel who has made
me all this trouble"
She came very near him as she spoke
and the Doctor turned and pushed hel
away. Thereupon she grabbed up 9
clod of dirt-a stone, he declares-and
threw it at him. 1t struck the brim
of his hat. According to her account she
seized his whiskers and shook his bearc
and told him in plain terms her opinion
of him. He says that after the rock

Japanese Funeral Customs.

During my visit to the park ! passed a
Japanese funeral procession that was quite
novel Before reaching the procession my
attention was attracted to what seemed to DO
the spasmodic shouting of quite a number Of
men, and as they passed, noticed that about
every two minutes they all united in shout
ing some words in unison. Between these
times they would chat and laugh together
and stop to bow and talk with any friends
they met, and often, after what would seem
to be an explanation Of whose funeral 1t was
many would join and swell the procession.
Noticing the absence of all females, was in.
