Work Begun on the santa NIargarita
Road.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 27.-Camps have
been established and work actually COM
menced on the connecting link of the
coast road which is to complete the sec
ond transcontinental line into this city
via Los Angeles and Sanger, controlled
by the Southern Pacific Company. The
contract was let to George Stone & Co.
Of this city for the first sixteen miles
from Santa Margarita south TO San Luis
OblSpo on October 18th. This is the very
heaviest work and involves an outlay of
81, 100000.
Inc entire distance, from Santa Mar
garita to the southern extremity Of the
coast division down to ElWoOd, on the
Ventura division via San Luis Obispo, is
rs miles, and from Santa Margarita TO
San Luis Cbispo is sixteen miles. In the
latter short trip there are no less than
5000 feet Of tunnel distributed over seven
tunnels, which must be cut through
solid rock. The largest tunnel at the
summit of the Coast Range will be 800
feet long, and commences three miles
south OF santa Margarita. 1t is for this
heavy tunneling that the outlay will be
required
When once the tunnels are finished the
remaining III miles will be easily and
rapidly finished so that nothing will be
done on that part OF the work until the
drilling Of the mountains is nearly COM
pleted. 1t is estimated that about fifteen
months viii be required to carry out the
contract In the whole sixteen miles
there are no bridges and cuiv6rts have
all been put in by the Southern Pacific
Company.
As the read is to be used for overland
travel, it will be CONSTRUCTED as strongly
as possible and seventy pound steel rails
will be used.

STOCKTON, Oct. 27.-Stamboul got the
worlds stallion record to-day by trotting
a mile in 2:0S3, beating Palo Altos record

ing the time on the next quarter, going TO
the half in 1:0l4, and to the three-quarters
in 1875. Too fast, the horsemen said, but
the stallion had the speed and he went on
strong and game in the face of brisk
breeze, coming to the finish in 2:08l. All
the watches agreed and horsemen shouted
The record is broken" before the Off
cial time was given.
Walter Maben, who drove the great
stallion, was cheered and congratulated
on all sides. Stalnboul will stay here and
go again next week. His quarters were
:30f, :304, :33s. 1874.
Twenty-three trotters were entered to
start against time to-day, and among
them were some very fast horses. The
day was fine, but the breeze was a bit
fresh.

youngsters ready to go, and opened the
work with thirteen starters. The racing

CHICAGO, Oct. 27.-Ernst Kenneth,
wealthy property-owner of the suburb OF
Melrose, was found dead to-day sitting at
desk i'll his library with his head split

have been two of them, did not commit
the crime for money, which was found in
the house, but evidently to gain possess
sion OF some documents the old man had
in his possession. A box containing these
papers was the only thing carried away.
To-day Dietrich Woehler and his wife,
tenants Of the old man, called at his
house to pay their rent. They found the
door unlocked, and, walking in, were
horritied to find the old man sitting in a
chair with his head cleft to the chin and
blood stains everywhere. The crime was
committed with huge corn knife with a
heavy blade fourteen inches long, and so
powerful had been the blow which was
struck that the steel was cracked half
across.
Upon the table stood a bottle of gin and
three glasses. The chairs were facing that

THE PARIS FUND.

Prospect OF the Two sections Reaching
a Settlement.
LONDON, Oct. 27.-The difference be-
tween the two sections of the Irish Par
hamentary party over the Paris fund is at
last on the verge of settlement. This fund
was mostly contributed by Irishmen in
the'United States and Australia in 1888 to
defray the expenses of the Irish members
OF Parliament fighting for home rule. In
1856 part of the fund not Immediately re-
quired was deposited in Paris with Mum
roe x Co., bankers, in the names of Big
gar, Parnell and Mccarthy, us trustees.
Alter the split occurred in the Irish Par
liamentary party and after the deaths OF
Farnell and Biggar, fight arose overthe
ownership OF the fund, it being claimed
by both sections. Wednesday last Arch
bishop Croke sent $50 to the fund for the
relief of the evicted tenants, and in u let
ter accompanying the donation he de-
clared' the fund should be taken from the
hands of the Paris bankers and contided
to three honest men not connected with
either side of the Irish controversy until
the agreement as to its disposal is con-
cluded. Timothy Harrington has signi-
lied that he Internationally agrees to the
Archblshop's suggestion, and adds that
he desires Archbishop Croke to be one of
the three new trustees. If the Met arthv-
ties agree to this there will be little fur
ther trouble regarding the fund.

Los ANGELES, Oct. 27.-The Coroner's
jury in the case of the fireworks explo-

seven persons were killed and number
injured, to-day gave a verdict exonerat-
ing the man who was in charge of the
fireworks on that occasion. The jury
expresses the opinion that the mortars
used for the purpose of firing the bombs
had been tampered with by some person
or persons unknown, and that if proper
police protection had been furnished by
the committee in charge of the celebra-
ton the accident would not have hap
pened.
This verdict indicates that the Jury ac-
cepted the theory that boys poured gun
powder into the mortars before the latter
were loaded by Wilson, the man who dis
played the fireworks.
