hope that this rumor will crystalline into
fact. We have such a poverty OF choice at
present in the way of theatrical amusement
that we begin to think our public are en-

The petition asking Congress to appro-
pirate $50, 900 for the purchase of lot and

A man jumped or fell from the narrow

several yards. The train was stopped and
the man placed on board and taken to Park

He received some severe cuts about the
head and was badly bruised about the body
lie said his name was William Siegler, and
stated that he lived in Los Angeles, where
he worked as a carpenter and had family
residing, but he could give no further par
ticulars about himself. He seemed to have
lost possession of his mind, and for time
was under the impression that he was still
in Los Angeles.

The carpenters in this town are divided.
Some are working eight and others nine
hours.
The contest at the coming election has
narrowed down to who shall occupy the of
ices of Marshal and Assessor.
1t is stated that the Peoples party will
not call convention. as that strong ele-
ment is satisfied with the non partisan con-
yentlon held last Monday evening.
The difficulty in the schools seems to have
blown completely over, as nothing is heard
OF it, Many supposed that it would cut
figure in the election, but they were dis
appointed, as the matter was hardly men
toned and not once discussed In either con-
vention.
In all probabilities the town licenses will
be raised when the two new Trustees take
their seats. Messrs. Richard and Hayward
are nominated by both parties, and the plat
form of each party resolves" that the Ii
cense for selling liquor, when not unlawful,
be raised to not less than $50.

business at the opening of the second week

must have something to do with its draw,
especially that depicting Shenandoah Y al

tenant Bedloe sacrificed his life for the
benefit of the Union cause. 1t has been
painted by master-hand, and the treat

Mid Week Notes of Business at the Diff
ferent Theaters.
The Bush-street Theater is showing
beggarly account of empty benches, not
withstandlng the rather creditable perform
anee of paul Kauvar"-atl least, ereditable
in all that Mr.. Steele Mackaye has given
mis- dramatis persona to do. The first
two acts are the best. When the action
is shifted to La Vendee the interest falls off
materially. This is the time selected for
verbal explanations which ought to be
evolved by the action of the play. and in
this fact lies the weakness of the scenes.
In fact it is difficult to make popular
drama out of Dickens Tale of Two Cities"
as has been attempted in this case. There
is no chance for relief. As Yorick, in the
person of Lawrence Barrett, says in the
Howells' adapted Spanish play from Este
banez, Everything is drowning in sea
OF blood, and the attempt to make COM
edy element of the domest tic chickering's of
Potin and his wife is so feeble as to be
ridiculous. Haworth should not travel
with this play. Ii has no relish of popular
salvation in it. At the finish of the mat
inee yesterday Manager j. ]. GotIob had
his orchestra play the national anthem,
1.-THE Star-spangled Banner" at the finish
of the performance, and this practice will
be continued henceforward.

ACROSS THE BAY.
Oakland Ag0g Over a Certain
Railroad RumOr.
Alex Laidlaw's Despoiler-A Driving Associa-
tion Talked of-Closing Of the Free
Library and Branches.

In view of the dispatch received from
Boston yesterday to the effect that the visit
to that city of President Manval of the
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad
had some reference to the early building
of the road to California and the extension
of the Atlantic and Pacific to San Francisco
Bay at a very early date, it is a significant
fact that party of railroad surveyors left
Oakland yesterday afternoon for Concord,
Contra Costa County, to re-survey the line
OF the California aud Nevada Narrow
gauge west from that point to Wagner's
ranch, and as soon as that is completed
will go Jack to Concord and make a survey
from there eastward into the San Joaquin
Valley.
The rumors that ''there is something back
of it besides the California and Nevada
company" seem to be well founded. Work
has been kept up on the road during suit
able weather all winter. and it is now COM
pleted twenty-three miles east of Oakland
and nearly to Wagner's. The heaviest
piece of work yet to be done is the 1000-foot
tunnel, but aside from that it is not diff
cult, and it would not take very long time
to put the road through to Oakland from
the San Joaquin Valley. For the past year
it has been suspected that some trans
continental road is behind Captain Smith
of the California and Nevada, but he has
always evaded questions or turned them off
with the answer that the road would be
built through some time. but he was not in
hurry.
In view of the present activity in build
ing on the road, it has been said in answer
to questions that they want to push the
road through to Walnut Creek in time to
bring down this summers crops. The fact
that the road has no special terminal faeili-
ties has been used as an argument that the
Santa Fe would not come in that way; but
on the other hand it is said that a COM
pany that could and did purchase four
blocks in the heart of Chicago, with two
and three story buildings on them which it
tore down to erect freight houses in their
stead, can find land on the bay for terminal
facilities I,.her il them
