UNION-STRRET LINE.
Stockholders Meeting - Exten.
siOns Of the System.

The annual meeting of the stockholders Of
the Preside and Ferries Railroad Company
was held yesterday afternoon at the COM
pany's Office on Union street The meeting
was largely attended, and the reports OF the
officers showed that the company has taken
a new lease Of life The stockholders pro-
ceeded to the election Of Board Of Dhec-
tors, and reelected the incumbentS, with
William Is. Cliff as President, and John 3.
Leighton Secretary.
The stockholders considered the subject
Of extending the CQmpany'S lines, and an
nOunced that the extension 10 the Pres do.
for the building of which bonds were some
time ago issued, is progressing rapidly.
The extension viii run out Union
to Baker, down Baker 10 Greenwich,
and down Greenwich TO the reservation.
The new road has been constructed
out Union from Steiner almost as
far a. Baker. The Superintendent Is con-
fident that he VIII be able TO have the road
in operation by April.
1t IS still question whether or net the
old dummies, which ran down Steiner
street t. HarbOr View, will be abandoned.
They run in a different direction from
that which will be taken by the new
extension to the reservation. it is thought
that the dummies will be continued in ser
vice In order 10 note whether their opera
ton Will pay after the new route is COM
pleted.
There is also another proposition which
ii is understood the Board Of Directors Of
the road has under cOnsiderati on, and that
is the extension of the cable line eastward
to the ferry, doing away " iih the horse
cars, which now connect with the dummies
at the end Of Montgomery avenue. This
proposition will eventually be accomplished,
and the company viii have continuous
system from the ferry 10 the Preside, aud
ly this means the offlcrrs hope t3 obtain a
more lucrative patronage than heretofore.

Murphy's Ftmbsdell

Yesterday The defense In the Sidney Bell

the prosecution forces.
Judge Murphy, however, from his en-
trenched ramparts, fred one of his heavy
artillery pieces, directing his aim over the
beads of the Bell party at WIN Clemens.
What damage the ammunition did will not
be known for several days, the fuse being
cut slow so as not to ignite the Murphy
bombshell until Monday morning.
The bomDsIei in question is in the form
of a citation 10 Clemens commanding him to
appear on Monday before the Judge to
show cause why he should not be committed
for contempt for talking on tie thorough
fares Of the city and county of san Fran
cisco in a manner calculated 70 hurt the
senslbllties of a lofty, learned and pure
MINDED jurist. Some people have the
audacity 10 predict that the bombshell has
nothing in it but the fuse and that it will
sizzle itself to sleep.
