GUARDS NEEDED.
The Railroad on Harrison Street Is
Menace to Life and
Limb.

The attention of the Supervisors is again
to be called to the dangerous, unguarded
condition of the Southern Pacific track on

James McMenomy, an advocate of
guarded crossings, is of the opinion that
the citizens in that vicinity were in favor
OF demanding system similar to the one
adopted by the New York Central-that is,
for the tracks to be laid in uncovered tun-
nels, to be bridged over at all street cross
ingss, thereby making accidents an impos-
sibility.
The property-owners are at present pre-

resulting from the condition of the track,
and this, with other petitions, will be pre-
sented TO the Supervisors, asking imme-
date action in the matter before any more

THE DURRANT CASE IN A MINUTE-BRIEF
REVIEW OF THE PROCEEDINGS.

Twenty-three veniremen were examined In
Judge Murphy's court yesterday morning as
to their qualifications to sit as jurors in the
Durrant case. The venire was exhausted be-
fore noon, the united efforts of attorneys on both
sides failing to land an additional juror in the
box. His Honor ordered another venire of 200,
half returnable Monday, the remainder Tues
day, and it is supposed that the three jurors
necessary to complete the panel may be found
among them. If not, special venire must be
ordered, as only thirty names now 1emain in
the trial jury box, and the Sheriff will go out
into the body of the county for talesmen.

AS we'll as filing the articles, promoters
of the railway deposited $4,000 in the
First National Bank of San Jose as a guar
antee of their intentions to build, equip
and maintain railroad from the Garden
City to Alviso harbor, and line of steam
ers and freight schooners on the bay, ply
ing between Alviso and this City.
Messrs. Piper, Alden, Goodall & Co. of
this City have been the chief promoters of
this enterprise. A member of the firm
said yesterday:
1--WE are building a competing railroad
of our own. Two-thirds OF the capital re-
quired has been subscribed, and now we
are ready to begin the work. Condemning
a right of way will commence as soon as
We possibly can get ready for the legal pro-
ceedings."
1t has not yet been determined whether
the new railway will be broad or narrow
gauge, though it will be used for trans
porting passengers and freight. There
will be several stations on the road where
freight will be handled and people may
take or leave the trains. The best feature
of the enterprise will be its inducement
for fruit-canneries and other manufactur-
ing concerns to locate along the route.
Cheap rates will be assured shippers by
this new line, which will bring products
of Santa Clara within reach of deep-water
ships in the harbor of San Francisco with
out much trouble and at trihing cost.
