BAKERSFIELD, CAL, April 27.-At the
meeting of the directors of the Valley road
and the executive committee representing
Bakersfield, held in the Kern County Land
Company's building tonight, all parties
had an informal talk over the prospects of
bringing the road to this city. What was
said was not official, but. coming from
President Spreckels and his associates, is
considered in that light.
They stated that if the road came here,
all that would probably be asked was a
right of way into town, depot site, and
right of way out of town, perhaps in the
direction of TETON Pass. This has been
considered the most desirable route out OF
the valley, and this semi-official statement
of the choice of route is no surprise to resi-
dents here.

SAN BERN.4RDLNo RATE WAR.
County Buildings Insured at One Fourth
the Compact Rates.


SAN BERNARDINO, Call, April 81
In the insurance war which has been
raging here for three days the outside COM
panies won a dear victory to-day, when
they wrote all the county business at one
fourth of the compact rates. This is a
stand-off for the victory by the compact
companies, who yesterday secured all the
city school buildings at shade less than
one-fourth of the old rates.
All the special agents who have been
here to direct their respective forces during
the war will leave Monday and rendezvous
at Los Angeles, ready to move on double
time to the next battlefield. About nine
teenths of all the risks in town have been
rewritten, the prevailing premium on COM
mercial business being one-half of last
years rates.

SAN LUIS OBISPO, CAL, April 81
Gentle showers have been quite general
over the county during the past few days,
insuring to certainty good crops in every
section. The total rainfall amounted to
over % of an inch. The hay crop is very
heavy and the grain yield east of the Santa
Lucia Range will be the largest in five
years. In the Arroyo Grande Valley the
corn and bean crop just being planted
never had better prospects. Fruit of all
kinds is coming on in abundance. Apri-
cots and peaches were slightly injured by
late frosts, but the trees are fairly well
loaded. The farmers are all jubilant.

WATsoNYILLE CITIZENS WIN.
Hard-FOught Case Decided against

SANTA CRUZ, CAL, April 27.-Judge
Logan this afternoon rendered decision
in the opening of the Second-street (Wat-

that city. The Board of Trustees ordered
the street opened and levied an assess
ment. Objections were raised by property
owners, and the matter was carried into
court.
Judge Logan in deciding against the city
says that the objectors, although ready
with testimony, were not heard by the
Trustees, which was contrary to the law,
which specifies that all persons having OBJ
jections are entitled to hearing. The
suit was to restrain the Street Superintend-
ent from collecting assessments.

BURGLARS WERE In AMBUSH
Ferry Line Natchman Quickly Seized
Bound, and Gagged.
Four Armed and Masked Men Rifisd the
Offices and Safes Of Money and
Valuable Papers.

The wharf office of the washington
Steamboat Company better known as the
Ferry Line, was invaded at an early hour
yesterday morning by four masked burglars
end the safes and ticket drawers broken
open and over $500 in money and quantity
of checks and valuable papers were stolen.
The watchman, James Fonschen, was
sitting in the rear of the office, when he
heard the gates rattle. The rafting was
repeated several times, and he finally went
to the door leading to the dock and opened
it,
AS he stepped out he was seized from
either side and his arms pinioned, a hand
slapped over his mouth, and pistol muZzle
pressed against his head He was auickly
bound and gagged and thrown on a pile OF
soiled linen belonging to the steamer
Wakefield.
The burglars then went into the office
occupied during the day by Agent johnson
and Ticket seller Cooksey and attacked
the safe. After working with the comhina-
ton short time il was opened and looted
They then invaded the office occupied
by General Manager G. w. Ridley and
blew open that safe, taking whatever they
desired therefrom. After scattering tickets
over tue OIilce, lHe lInefeS went out ana
nothing has been heard of them since.
After considerable difficulty Watchman
Fonsehell unlocsed his bonds and gag and
made his way 10 the steamer Wakefield
and reused the engineer. II was then about
4 O'Clock, and an alarm was immediately
sent out TO the police and the company Of
ficers Detectives Weldon and Horne are
working on the case.

Inspector Hollinberger has several clews
which VIII be closely followed, and he hopes
to land the men, who are believed by some
to be the highwaymen who held up" Mr

The boat theory is strengthened, in the
minds of the police, by the statement of

time the robbery occurred.

CONCLUDES THE CASE.
Decision Of the Court of Appeals Concern
ing the Market Property.

Decision Of the Court of Appeals Concern.
ing the Market Property.
The decision Of the court of appeals in
thecase of the Washington Market Company
VS. the District of Columbia, closes efforts
that have been made by the company since
1871, TO secure possession of the property
on Louisiana avenue.
1t adds that the Commissioners Of the
District cannot lawfully contract to trans
fer to any person or corporation the use of
any real estate. Such action would trans
cend their powers.
Furthermore the commissioners cannot
contract to pay any money for which special
appropriation has not been made.
The company's claim was supported by
a letter from Gov. Henry d. Cooke ap-
proving its taking possession of the land
and by a letter from Gov. A. r. Shepherd,
approving its plan of conducting business
and saying that its use OF the property had
been approved by the board under him.
1t was also claimed for the company that
an act was passed specifically giving it
control Of the property, but the court holds
that the word corporation in this act plainly
applies to The District corporation, not the
market company, and supports the view
by showing that the act gives powers, such
as are given to the District government,
but never TO private enterprises.
