STOCKTON. CAL, June 23.-J. S. Will
bur, superintendent of construction of the
San Francisco and San Joaquin Valley
Railroad, has arrived in the city for the
purpose of attending to the preliminaries
for starting the work of construction.
During the day Mr.. Wilbur has been
familiarizing himself with the route of the
road as granted in the franchise by the
City Council, and before this time next
week the course of the new railway can be
traced by line of stakes which Mr.. Will
bur and the men under his direction will
shortly begin setting.
This completed, the only thing holding
back the work inside the city limits will
be the arrival of material. This will be
here within twenty DAYS at least, so that
the people of this city may expect to wit
ness great signs of activity with the next
month.
The company will also establish perma-
nent headquarters here for those engaged
in the work of construction. This city will
be the general headquarters during the
building toward Bakersfield, and the
material will all be delivered here by
reason of the water facilities. The rooms
in which to locate the headquarters have
already been secured.

SAN JOSE, CAL, June 23.-The Taber-
nacle Society opened its art exhibit in the
Notre Dame Institute yesterday afternoon.
The object of the society is to supply
needy churches with what is necessary for
the celebration OF divine services. There
are thirty beautiful, complete sets of vest
ments exhibited, and the display reflects
much credit upon the membe of the So
ciety.
Aside from the sets of vestments there
are 453 exhibits, divided as follows: Stoles
%, ciborium covers 4, abs II, SUPPLIES 13,
corporals 45, purificators ia, amices A,
lavabos 20, pals %, alta cloths 2. collars

In an adjoining room the Notre Dame
Ceramic Club has an exhibit of its work.
The exhibits will remain omen until Tues
day evening.
The Tabernacle Society has been organ
lied but two years, and, under the direc-
ton of it's president, Mrs. Judge o Conner,
has done great deal of good. The
Ceramic Club was organized but short
time ago, and the displays by its members
shows much beautiful work.

constructing free road into the valley.
In driving to Elk Grove they found the
road through Sacramento County sadly in
need of systematic reformation, and found
that although Sacramento County has
natural material sufficient to insure the
best grade of roads, San Joaquin possesses
far better thoroughfares, presumably be-
cause the adobe nature of the soil in the
latter county makes better roads an abb
solute necessity.
In San Joaquin County the roads are
Systematically surfaced and graded in true
lines; it was learned on inquiry of Super
visor Henderson of that county that the
thoroughfare was known as Cherokee Lane
and that it's universal excellence was due
to the fact that it had formerly been toll
road turned over to the county. Since it's
acceptance there had been practically no
work performed on it; yet, it was in good
condition and fully demonstrated the fact
that it was remunerative to the former toll
company to build excellent thoroughfares
as the people sho wed preference for their
road even though assessed toll rate. 1t
also fully demonstrated the fact that road
properly constructed in the first place was
by far the most economical, as the cost of
maintenance was slight.
From Stockton to Knights Ferry the
road was composed of adobe soil which,
although excellent in summer, would no
doubt in winter be nearly impossible. At
knights Ferry there is an inclosed bridge
over the Stanislaus River which, the mem
bers of the bureau declare, is simply
abominable, some genius having conceived

again joined by Civil Engineer Maude, who
had been delegated to make the trip down
the canyon of the MERGED River and report
as to the feasibility of establishing State
road into the valley by that route. Engi-
neer Maude left the other members of the
bureau in the valley. and accompanied by
j. NJ. Hutchings, who is thoroughly con-
versant with the entire country, started on
foot over country whose roughness would
daunt any one but an enthusiast. He car
ried a camera and aneroid barometer for
the purpose of taking views and elevations.
After hard day climb over rocks and
through the tangled scrub of the noun
tains, Mr.. Maude arrived at Hennessy's
ranch, where he found it necessary to cross
the river. This was accomplished by
means of boatsman's chair suspended on
wire cable reaching from bank to bank.
The chair was hung on an ordinary we'll
wheel and the passage was accomplished
by drawing himself hand-over-hand to the
other shore by means of the cable, while
beneath the river roared and tumbled in a
mass of foam over the jagged rocks. At
this point the services of Antonia burro
of pronounced type, were secured, and he
was loaded with an assortment of provi-
sions and blankets.
The second days journey brought Mr..
Maude to the cabin of Thomas Twaddle, a
miner, who treated the weary tramps in
the typical hospitable style of '49. 1t was
again found necessary to cross the river,
the passage being accomplished in rough
apology for boat. whose bottom was
formed of a roughly hewed slab with fence

SPOKANE WOMAN MISSING,
Mysterious Disappearance OF
Mrs. Olivette Warner in
Chicago.
Diligent Search of Relatives Falls to
Reveal Trace of Her Where
aboutS.

CHICAGO, ILL, June pa case
shrouded in mystery and embracing the
disappearance of wealthy Western woman
was reported to Captain Elliott at the Cen
trail station yesterday afternoon. The
woman who has so mysteriously disap-
peared from sight was Mrs. Olivette O'Neal
Warner of Spokane, Wash. The disap-
pearance of Mrs. Warner has tied up an
estate valued at 100000, in which she
owns one-sixth interest.
Warner, together with five others, came
into possession of mining property in
Washington valued at the above figure.
Last March the missing woman was
thrown from horse and sustained in
juries from which she as disfgured. The
following month she came to Chicago for
treatment and entered private hospital
She correspondent with her brother, David
ONeal in Spokane, but her mail was al
ways sent to the general delivery, the
brother not even knowing the name of the
hospital in which she was being treated
After her departure from Spokane nego-
tiatlons were entered into with syndicate
of Canadian capitalists for the sale OF one
OF the mines owned by the estate. The
purchase price was to be $50, 900, and all
the arrangements for the sale were COM
pleted. The papers were drawn up and
signed by all the interested parties except
Mrs. Warner. The money was deposited
by the Canadian syndicate in a Chicago
bank, where it now is, to be paid over as
soon as Mrs. Warmers signature was af-
fixed to the papers.
About four weeks ago Mr.. O'Neal re-
ceived letter from Mrs. Warner, stating
that she was ready to return home and
would do so as soon as money was sent her
for that purpose. Mr.. O'Neal at once
mailed her New York drafts for $500, to
the general delivery at Chicago. In due
course of time the letter containing the
draft was returned to Mr.. O'Neal un-
opened. Since that time Mr.. O'Neal, who
arrived in Chicago Saturday, has heard
nothing of the missing woman. This
morning two detectives were detailed on
the case.
The missing woman was described as 35
years old, tall and very extremely good
looking. She is the wife of Dr. Warner.
Spokane doctor, who is now in Florida,
and who is not yet aware of the mystery
surrounding his wife.

on board the ships, having been recon-
mended for the work by the captain, Mr.
Reed, he being an old shipmate of Will
hams. Sturdy, it is said, had friend of
his own for the job, but not liking to
dlsoblige his captain, accepted Williams.
However, he is said to have sought the first
opportunity to interfere with the bum
boat man, and this occurred when the latter
visited the ship a few days ago for the
purpose of collecting the money due him
from the men. He had given them credit,
as is the custom with a crew newly
shipped, for amounts aggregating $5S7.
The collection was in progress quietly, it is
told by Walter Jacobs, Williams partner,
when the business was stopped by Mr..
Sturdy, who peremptorily orderd Williams
lover the SIDE"
Among naval people this was equivalent
to charging him with a crime, something
Williams did not propose to let go undis-
puted. He hesitated and asked the ex-
ecutive the reason for his extraordinary
action. Mr.. Sturdy declined to enter into
any explanation, merely saying when
Williams demonstrated that it was too
hard to lose $500, that "a man who would
boatman was obliged to go over the side a
branded man, as his knowledge of the navy
assured him he would be in the opinion OF
every man aboard the vessel. He came
over to this side and narrated his treat
ment to his business associates. The mer-
chants were not only surprised, but
angered, because any Of their representa-
tives stood in danger of like summary
action, which would be a reflection on the
character of the business community.
Williams is known to have brooded over
the affair, and his wife says he did not
sleep for several nights. This had its
natural consequence, and she feels sure he
became gradually unsettled in his mind
and took the drug in desperate endeavor
to solace himself, fatal results follow ing.
The deceased belonged to the Workmen,
Knights of Pythias and Redmen and stood
very high not only in the estimation of his
brother members, but in the community
as a whole.
The commander of the Olympia, Captain
Reed. is thorough officer. and notwith-
standing his stern demeanor has tender
spot in his heart, especially toward those
he served with during the war. Recently
he went on board the Hartford in drydock
and while looking about at the repairs being
made and work being done by ship
carpenters and calkers his eyes for a
moment rested on one of the latter men, an
old man, seated on a calker's box towing in
oakum. He paused moment, then went
up to the mechanic and as he laid his hand
on his shoulder remarked: "Creemore,
don't you know me? Inever expected to see
you on the face of the globe again after the
day you passed over the side of the old
Ironsides with your head split open with
the chain shot"
Then for a few moments an affecting
conversation took place between the two
men, one now the commander of the finest
cruiser afoat and the other eking out his
daily existence in a far different manner.

titles of hard blue hornblende granite that
could be made available. He also found a
black earth which, properly handled and
thoroughly sprinkled, would make good
wearing surface for roads.
The trails throughout the valley are we'll
built and display wonderful engineering
genius; especially is this the fact in the
zigzag trail leading up to the Nevada
Falls.
In returning from the valley, the route
by way of the south side of the valley was
followed, leading by Wawona. This is
over toll road owned by the Wawona
Hotel Company; the road is in splendid
condition, although in places the grades
are steep. From Wawona the route over
the county road to Mariposa was followed,
and the members of the bureau state that
the condition of the road is one of the
grossest outrages upon the taxpayers ever
perpetrated. The grades are extremely
steep, and what work had been done for
the purpose of improvement had only
rendered them nearly impossible.
A day was passed in Mariposa investigat-
ing the most plausible method of estab-
fishing free read into the valley, for
which purpose $4,000 was appropriated by
the last Legislature. Here the party was

with huge powders, while its serpentine
line would leave the impression that it had
originally been cattle trail. In one
place the road divides, leaving huge
mass of debris in the center, and in places
there are cuts fully two feet in depth 1t
is the opinion of the bureau that there is
no possible excuse to be offered for the
condition of the roads in this locality, as
there is an abundance of excellent ma
terial in the immediate vicinity to insure
the manufacture of a road that would be
unsurpassed by any if intelligently
handled.
From Chinese Camp to Priests the road
is better, and in some places excellent
work has been performed. Especially is
this the case in the vicinity of the bridge
leading across the Tuolumne River. This
portion of the route lay over toll road.
From this point the road winds up the far
famed Priests Hill, where in distance of
two and quarter miles the grade rises 1850
feet, as ascertained by observations tax en-
with an aneroid barometer.
From this place to Crocker's the road
was excellent. From Crocker's the road
ascends until an altitude of 1000 feet is
reached, when the descent into the valley
commences. This is splendid piece of
engineering work, being series of ter

VALLEJO, CAL, June 23.-Constructor
Baxter of Mare Island will tomorrow
begin preparations for the repair of the
sloop-of-war Adams, now lying in rotten
row.
Some time since the Navy Department
decided to refit this ship if it could be done
inside the 20 per cent limit. This means
within 20 per cent of the original cost of
the vessel. This law was made several
years ago as a result of indiscriminate re-
pairs on ships started and carried on for the
sole purpose of examining navy yards with
men for election purposes. Accordingly a
board was appointed by Commandant
Howison to examine and report on the
condition of the Adams. This was done,
her timbers bored and equipment in
spected, and the report was favorable. But
little deterioration had occurred.
Mr.. Baxter will haul her alongside the
quay near the big dock in day or so in
readiness for docking as soon as the Hart
ford shall have come out. This will be
done to get at the ships planking and cop
per below water-line. New decks and fore
castle will probably be laid and modern
guns fitted to her before she resumes active
duty.
There is considerable talk locally, which
is anything but favorable to Lieutenant
Commander Sturdy, executive officer OF
the Olympia. 1t appears that James Will

overdose of morphine while temporarily
insane few days ago, had been conductin:
