A NEW NECTION.
The st. Louis and San Francisco
Will Build Through lts Line.

The st. Louis and San Francisco
Will Build Through lts Line.
A San Francisco paper publishes the
statement that the st. Louis and San Fran.
cisco railway proposes to Immediately
set about the completion of its road from
it present terminus in Indian Territory
to Albuquerque. If the statement is
true, and it purports to be given on good
authority, it means a new through con.
nection from Southern California to St..
Louis.
The road was originally designed for q
through route to the Coast. The Allan
tic and Pacific was part of the
system and it was completed from
Bsrstow as far as Albuquerque,
where it joined with the Santa
Fe. The latter entered into an arrange
ment with the Atlantic and Pacific by
which it was to have use of the line, but
the St. Louis and San Francisco did not
part with it's rights, and whenever its
connection is completed it can carry out
it's share of the agreement, and run
trains over the Atlantic and Pacific track,
The St. Louis and San Francisco sys-
tenn as at present constituted consists of
1,457 miles of track. running out from st.
Louis in various directions. The main
western line is 437 miles in length, and
runs from st. Louis through Missouri
and corner of Arkansas down into In
dian Territory. Its present terminus is
Sepulpa, small village about ten miles
beyond the Arkansas river. From this
point on the surveyed route was in almost
a straight line through Indian Territory,
the Panhandle of Texas and part of
New Mexico to Albuquerque. The re-
port states that the road has contracted
to build 1000 miles of track. but the
unfinished portion does not measure
more than 800 or 900 miles.
When completed, this will be about
the shortest route possible between this
city and st. Louis.

ssThe Bunch of Kevs.v

The celebrated Bunch of Kegs Com
pany, from the Broadway theater, New
York, will be the attraction at the Los
Angeles theater the first four nights of
next week, opening on Sunday night.
Though now on it's eighth season, there
seems to be no indication Of this attrac-
ton waning in public favor. Everywhere
is it greeted by large and enthusiastic
audiences. OF the performance the San
Francisco Evening Bulletin says:
Judging from the appearance of the
audience at this house last evening the
drawing power of Hoyt's farces
is undiminished. The house was
literally packed to welcome the
reappearance OF the Bunch of Keys. The
gallery was such as delights the actors,
for there is to be found the test of a play,
Ii the gallery is full and enthusiastic, the
play is success; and go on the same
principle the Bunch of Keys is an unqual-
flied success. Frank E. DUNN, who
plays Grimes" is fully equal to his
predecessor, Garfield; and the ladies,
who are all new, dress prettily and sing
sweetly. AS q whole the Company is as
good as any presenting the same play
before. The Bunch of Keys is SO well
known that further mention is unneces-
sary. There will be matinee tomor-
row."
