A LIVELY OCTOGENARIAN
The Eighty-Fifth Birthday Of John
B. Phelps.
Waterman Of the appraisers Building.
Worked on Many Of the Oldest
Downtown Structures.

1t is not vouchsafed to many men to
celebrate their eighty-ffth birthday under
conditions which made that anniversary
memorable in the life of John B. Phelps
yesterday. He is Waterman at the APP
praisers building, and the remarkable
vigor which he displays for man of his
advanced years has long been subject for
comment among his acquaintance.
Mr.. Phelps was born in Hartford County,
Connecticut, on February Z, 1910. He was
apprenticed to a brickmason, and after
learning his trade thoroughly went to
Syracuse, n. Y, where he entered into
business as contractor. In 184S he de-
cided to come to California. and on April
16 of til at year he entered the Golden Gate
on the bark Britton.
1t is unnecessary to say that Mr.. Phelps
went to the mines in pursuit of wealth.
He saved several thousand dollars and
then went East, returning, however, a few
years later to engage in the building bust

L the San Joaquin Valley when say all hail to
! the valley railroad. Let me congratulate you
/ upon your awakening. l Tor twenty years, in
connection with many an old pioneer, have
looked over this fertile valley, with its rich
alluvial soil, so peculiarly adapted to irriga-
ton. We have turned our faces toward the
rising sun and beheld the snow-capped range
of mountains kissing the eastern Sky-th1s
grand range of mountains, with her peaks and
canyons, being natural reservoirs, as it were, TO
hold back the storms OF winter to feed the fer
tile plains in summer. We have spent our
energies as best we could, though in small
way, in developing this country, and we have
at least demonstrated the wonderful results OF
the union of land and water. We have pro-
duced phenomenal results in the way of pro-
duction. Our products have elected the admi-
ration and applause of the civilized world.
With all these natural grand opportunities
to-day's genial sun looks down upon dis
heartened and respondent people. Why? Be-
cause our substance has all been consumed in
transportation.
Possessing the natural advantages of level
plain, with no rivers of importance to bridge,
perhaps the cheapest place on the globe to
build and operate a railroad over, we are pay
ing the highest freight that is paid in any
country.
We have figured, schemed and prepared all
manner of propositions for relief. We have APP
pealed to the people OF San Francisco, but up
TO the present time our appeals have been in
vain.
BY habit and the natural drainage of the
country and long conviction we have felt that
San Francisco was ours and we were hers.
But do you know for fact, although sad one,

ness in this city. He laid the bricks on
many of the old downtown houses, and
worked for two years in the construction
OF the United States Mint building on
Fifth street. About ten years ago he
secured a position as Waterman at the
United States Appraisers store, but was
removed by Collector Hager on account of
his age. The Waterman assured Mr..
Hager's successor that he was not intirm
by. reason of his years, and he was reap
pointed to the position which he still holds.
8 II feel like young man yet, said Mr..
Phelps yesterday. ~ believe will see the
dawn of the twentieth century, anyhow"
His life was an eventful one. He was
the survivor OF party of thirty-one men
who were killed in powder explosion at
Syracuse, n. Y, forty years ago, and re,
ceived frightful injuries from which he did
not recover for many years; He was ship
wrecked once, and had other adventures
which he relates with becoming modesty.
The old Waterman lives at 24419 Sixth
street. Mrs. Phelps, who has passed her
SEVENTEEN year, is living at berkeley with
her daughter, the widow OF United States
Senator James T. Farley, whose record is
well known to California Pioneers.

grounds of neglect and failure to provide, ETC.
l Will not say what was in the wind, but con-
graduate San Francisco upon her awakening,
and will say the people OF this valley will take
new hope and will cooperate with your people
in forwarding the great enterprise which must
rebound to our mutual benefit.
Were to speak of the possibilities of this
country, your people who do not know it as /
do would call me dreamer. Yours ETC.,

ing of the citizens of this place, held last
evening, the following resolution was adopted
and the secretary instructed to forward q copy
to the secretary of the San Joaquin Valley Rail
road:
WHEREAS There is talk of an opposition
railroad coming through our county, and as it
is to the best interests of the citizens of this
place that 1t should come as close as possible to
the Southern Pacific line, therefore it is
RESOLVED, That the cordial cooperation of the
citizens of Turlock is pledged to the enterprise

E. r. Preston, Secretary: The following resolu-
ton was offered by Supervisor Schneider and
adopted by the unanimous vote Of the Boardlof
Supervisors:
Resolved That the Board of Supervisors of
Contra Costa County and the people of said
county are in hearty sympathy with the people
OF San Francisco in their effort TO have a COM
peting railroad through San Joaquin Valley and
Contra Costa County to deep water on the bay
1t was further ordered that the clerk of the
board forward copy of said resolution to Claus
Spreckels and the Associated Press.

In connection with these communica-
tons it is proper to state that the commit
tee desire the public to know that there
are many letters received which they find
1t impossible to answer, aad which will be
referred to the proper individuals as soon
as the road is incorporated.
An effort made yesterday to secure the
views of the members of the committee
and of prominent business men of the CITY
regarding the most practicable route for
the road shows some diversity of opinion.
They are given herewith:

what should like to see, and what would
cost less, would be canal from the san
Joaquin River to Bakersfield. That would
regulate freights for all time.
Louis Sloss of the Alaska Commercial
Company-I am in favor of raising 81

question of the route. Those most deeply
interested in the road have not had time
to go into that matter; but we cannot
build In any direction without going into
rich country, and the road will help to
populate it.
f. W. Van Sicklen of Dodge, Sweeney q
Col cannot go into the question OF the
route, while am member OF the finance
committee, but 1 will say that this will
be only the beginning of system that

one OF those who believe that a line can be
drawn from the British possessions through
Helena to Ell Paso and that every foot OF
the territory west of that line will eventu-
ally contribute to and draw from the Pa
cific Coast. When this city assumes its
natural position it will be the third city in
the Union numerically and commercially.
Any complete railway system in California
would require a line the entire length of
the San Joaquin Valley seeking tidewater
at Oakland or the vicinity and going up
through the Sacramento Valley, and also
main line through the Santa Clara Val
ley directly into San Francisco.
A. l.. Scott of Miller, Sloss & Scott
think the road should be built from Oak
land to Stockton and on down the San
Joaquin Valley.
J. Blum of Loewe Bros, PIG California
street-Build as nearly parallel as posi-
BILE to the line of the Southern Pacific, be-
cause they have picked out the best route,

it is to be built for competition, the road

directly.

The road should go by Stockton. should

Isaac Upham, of Payot, Upham & Co.
Really, have been SO busy figuring on the
financial end of the proposition that have
had no chance to think of routes 1t has
never been preached in the meetings of
the committee, and l, personally, haven't
the slightest preference in the matter.
Claus Spreckels-Have we decided on a
route? No, decidedly we have not, nor
even considered one seriously for that
matter. There has been a good deal of
talk about the route from Stockton to
Bakersfield, but the committee has not
discussed the matter, and if another and
more desirable course should be found it
might be adopted. When we have enough
money in sight to begin building, then it
will be time to talk of routes. BY day after
tomorrow we shall have 100000, and
then we may incorporate. Then the rest
of the sum necessary to begin building will
be raised, and the question of route come
up.
J. B. Stetson of the North Pacific Coast
Railway have no opinion as to the best

Without several subscription lists in the
hands of committeeman who failed to re
port, the sum of $SO,5OO was added to the
fund for the San Joaquin Valley Road yes
terday. This leaves the small balance OF
$64, 500 yet to be raised to complete the 81
100000 which it was announced would be
secured before the project was incorpor-
ated. But the members OF the committee
are not likely to remain content with the
$1,000 eco; in fact, It is pretty well under
stood that a strong effort will be made to
raise the entire $1,000 0O0, and the forcible

FLAWS IN THE FUSION TICKET
DIR ParLhurst Dissatisfied with
some of the Nominees.

New York. oct. 11.-Dr. Parkhurst is
sued a statement this evening regarding
the political situation in this city in which
he says he is sadly disappointed with the
outcome Of the efforts that have been made
at fusion. but he will. nevertheless, sup
port part of the ticket. He says in part:
Excellent, surprisingly excellent as the
fusion ticket is IN certain portions Of its
personnel, no one who has been for any
considerable time a resident ia this city
can examine the ticket without instantly
discovering that the influences largely op-
erative in its construction were distinct
~ indifferent, not to say antagonistie. to
all that works for the best interests Of the
city, as generally interpreted.
. Personally / prize the present situa-
ton as an eloquent object lesson of the
debasing effect of having the citys inter-
ests sateguarded by men, who, whether
as republicans or as democrats, look
upon positions of munipal trust only as
legitimate game with which TO stock the
political larder. l do not like to seem
presumptuous, but venture to think that
We should be in a better plight to-day IL
after having discovered the dickering
propensities OF the partisan conferees the
subcommittee Of hye had stood up in
Gentlemen, there Is no wisdom in our de-
batting these matters unless We can meet
one another on broad and generous
platform and consult together with an
city.
Some OF your are purchasable by
judgeship, some of you by city clerkship
some of you estimate your tender de-
votion to this city in terms Of Sunday
beer. We are not in the dickeiing busi-
ness, gentlemen, our preference is 70 deal
with men who do not want to so around
tagged with a cost mark. You must eX-
cuse US from further attempts at media
tion.'
'Srhe responsibility Of failure would then
be distinctly seen TO rest squarely upon
the shoulders of the politicians, and so
would have been a stinging blow to that
whole brood of small manipulators.
There is no abatement in either the
cheerfulness or the heartiness with which
1 am still prepared to camp on the trail
of the striped beast. We will not be mu-
nicipaAy safe until she Is dead, for SO
long as she Is able even to lash her tail
she will continue to be the
nucleus around which the , law
less and disgruntled will always
crystalline m the hope Of subordinating
the God-fearing and the law-abiding to
their behests. On this point the intelligent
conscience of the city of New York is
agreed. 1t is perhaps the only point just
now upon which a. Is agreed, and If we
will stick to one another and to this point
of agreement we can win.
Though / repudiate a portion of the
fusion and though j shall not neglect to
scratch one or more names on the fusion
ticket, yet that fact is no scabbard into
which / shall thrust my sword that is al
ready red with the tigers blood"

GROVER REPORTED KILLED.
THE FAKE YARN CAUSES A FLOOD
OF inquiries.

The President in Good Health and No
Attempt Made on His Life-He
Leaves Buzzard's Bay Late in the
Afternoon on the Yacht Oneida,
Bound for Washington-The Whole
Trip TO BE Made by Water This
YeRr-Mrs. Cleveland and the
Children to Follow by Rail Next
Week.
Buzzard's Bay. Mass. Oct. ia rumor
was current in several sections of the
country early this morning that Presi-
dent Cleveland had been assassinated and
food of inquiries poured in upon the
telegraph offices here in consequence.
There was no foundation whatever for the
rumor. The President was all right at
breakfast time and went fishing about 9
o'clock, nothing unusual had happened at
Gray Gables, and the family characterized
the report of the assassination as too alb
surd to be noticed
The President has concluded his vaca-
ton. so far as Gray Gables is concerned,
and left this afternoon at 5:15 o'clock on
the steam yacht Oneida, as the guest of
Thurber accompanied them. Mrs. Cleve-
land, the children and the other members
OF the family Will leave next TUESDAY IN
a special car. The Presidents entire jour
ney to Washington will be made on the
Oneida, trip never before made, as the
President generally sails only as far as
New York, where a train is taken to
Washington. They will proceed leisurely
along the sound, and may possibly stop
and nsh If the weather is favorable. The
President plans not to arrive in Washing
ton before Monday, and possibly not until
Tuesday.
In speaking of his vacation this year,
the President said it had been most en-
Joyable one. The weather for the most
part has been exceedingly pleasant and
fishing, both fresh and salt water, was
never better There have been compare
lively few callers of a political or office
seeking character and the President has
had most of the time to himself. One
thing is very certain, and it was corrobo-
rated by Private Secretary Thurber to-
day, that is, that in no time in seasons
past has the President been called upon
to attend to such a volume of government
matter as this year, and while he has ap
peared to do considerable fishing, he has,
on the other hand, been very busy ana
has often times kept at work until mid
night or after. The President has en-
toyed excellent health this summer and he
plainly shows 1t. In fact, he is fully rested
and in the best of health and spirits and
in splendid. condition to take up the man
agement of affairs at Washington.
