The Old Track.

Aid. Zimmerman offered an amend
ment regarding the taking up of the
main track on Fourth street. chang
ing the limits from Spring to Rock
street, and from Carroll to Record
street, but allowing side tracks to the
linseed oil mill and the tub factory,
on the easterly side of the street, and
also the opening of Spring street near
the Oil mill property by the conveying
to the city of the portion OF the street
owned by the company.
Mr.. Cray stated that the property
OF the company is covered by a blan-
ket mortgage, and could not be con-
veyed without consent of the trustees
of the bond holders. He also stated
that to take up the main track as sug-
gested would prevent all switching by
the factories, when an engine brings
in a car and takes out one. Two
tracks are needed for this.
Aid. Zimmerman said that all that
is wanted is fair deal for the city,
Aid. Peterson said that there would
be no trouble about switching near
Rock street.

ment would SO hamper the road as to

Depot Location.

Aid. Peterson said that the depot
location agitation had been abandon
ed, owing to the lack of support of
many of those who had at first fav-
ored the change. He asked Mr.. Win
ter what assurance he could give that
the depot would be located where
marked on the plat.
Mr.. Winter said that he regarded it
as certainty that the depot would
be located between Main and Wal
nut streets. 1t had been said that the
depot might be placed further south.
This had never been suggested among
the officials and the, speaker would
oppose it, as he did not consider it the
right place for the depot. He consid-
cred the point marked on the map as
the only place for it, and no other
place had been considered. Unless
something unforeseen should come up,
it would undoubtedly be placed there.

tered Last Night.
Sometime last night a burglar en-
tered Mcconnell & Cummins' store,
but failed to secure anything, SO far
as known. He got in by removing a
large pane of glass from the side door
to the basement, and was careful not
to break it, but leaned it up against
the area. Going up stairs, he over
looked SIS in change on the office desk,
covered only with blotter, and
tried to pry open the money drawer
just underneath. Failing in this, he
unscrewed screw on each side of the
drawer, and seems to have been
frightened away at that point. There
were only five pennies in the drawer,
and they were unmolested. There is
no clue to the intruder.

San Francisco, September 17.-Thre(
vessels are at the quarantine station at
Angel Island. They are the Pacific
mail steamer City of Rio de Janeiro,
the Honolulu packet S. c. Allen and
the British ship Merioneth, from the
port of Rio de Janerio The govern
ment authorities on the island are hard
at work fumigating passengers, bag
gage, freight, ballast and vessels. The
utmost pains are being taken to pre-
vent the introduction of cholera from
Honolulu or the Orient.
When the Rio de Janeiro left Naga.
saki, the cholera was prevailing, and
in two weeks there had been II cases
and 81 deaths. The steamer did not
go to the dock at Nagasaki, but every
thing that she took on board was trans
ferred to her by boat In similar man
ner she took goods that had come by
steamer from Shanghai At Nagasah
it was stated that no whites had taken
the cholera.
At Yokohama there was cholera, but
according to the captain il was not in
the city but inland In two weeks
there had been II cases and 80 deaths.
The steamer took cargo at Yokohama
consisting of silks and curios. No
whites had suffered with the cholera at
Yokohama.
On arrival at Honolulu every precau-
tion was taken. The steamer anchored
in the outer harbOr, and did not have
any communication with the shore ex-
cept by boat At the time the ch1aera
was increasing. The statement signed
by Ellis Mills, the consul general, gives
the number Of cases as 5S and the num-
! Der of deaths as A. The steamer did
not use water from Honolulu even for
washing the decks. While in the outer
harbor the steerage was fumigated
with sulphur. According to the state
ment of the City of Rio de Janeiro's
surgeon, there was no case Of the dis
| ease on the vessel from the time she
| left Hong Kong.
After listening to this statement and
| examining the papers offered in sub
| sanitation, DR.. Chambers gave il as his
| opinion that as more than seven days
had elapsed since the steamer left Hon
olulu there was no possibility Of the
cholera being carried after all the fu-
migation and in spite of all the precau-
tions taken He went 10 see tie Board
of Health and was Overruled by that
! body. which recommended the holding
of the steamer and her fumigatiOn at
| the island. The steamer went to Angel
Island quarantine station without even
| delivering her mails.

TRACING DUKANT,
The Chain of Evidence Prepared by the
Prosecution.


Prosecution.
San Francisco, September 17.-Slow-
ly the prosecution Is taking Theodore
Durant up to the Emanuel Church door
with Blanche Lamont The couple
have now been traced TO "The Mission
to the corner of either Valencia and
Twenty-frst streets, or Valencia and
Twenty second streets. If they got of
the car at Twenty-second street they
were withing three hundred feet OF the
church door. The next move IN the
prosecution will undoubtedly be to
bring out the testimony Of Martin
Quinlan, who says he saw Durant and
the young lady at Twenty-second ana
Bartless streets. Then Will proDaDly
come the story of Mrs. Leake, who saw
them enter the church, and then the re-
luctant tale of Organist King, to whom
Durant appeared, dusty and tustered,
and said he had been overcome by gas.
After this there is still the paWnbro-
ker's story of the attempt TO pawn the
dead girls rings and other bits OF cor
rOborative evidence to bolster up the
main case.
And after all that is over the defense
will begin the work of tearing the
whole fabric to pieces, of rending the
chain link from link, in proving the in
nocence in the face of an apparent
guilt. or of leaving the whole case 10 De
clouded with doubt and conjecture

of all that is piled up against them are

The Jersey Lily Seeksa Divorce From Ed
ward Langtry.
San Francisco, September 17.-Mrs.
Emile Charlotte Langtry will to-day,
through Attorneys Dunn & McPike,
says the Examiner. file an action for
divorce from her husband, Edward
Langtry, in the Superior Court of Lake
county. where the famous Jersey Lily
has considerable property. Her grounds
for divorce from Mr.. Langtry are speci-
fed as desertion and failure to provide
Tor his wife and daughter, a girl OF IA
wears. The complaint further alleges
that there is no community property
and REQUESTS the custody Of the child,
Jeanne be awarded 10 the mother. 1t
is understood that there will be no con-
test.
Several days ago dispatches from
New York announced that the firm Of
Howe e Hummel had mailed Dunn &
McPike papers to be filed in court, ask
ing for a divorce on behalf Of the Jersey
Lily. When seen upon the subject,
Nlessrs. Dunn & McPike seemed reluct-
ant to say anything about the case, but
now that the papers are here and TO be
filed. Mr.. McPike declares that there
is nothing to conceal.
Attorney McPike says that Mrs.
Langtry is expected to return to her
home in Lake county soon, as she has
grown very weary of her histrionic
ventures. The place will be made the
center for a gay throng, and will be-
come the rendezvous for people OF dis
tinctiOn.
From this it is believed that Mrs.
Langtry has definitely decided to aban-
don the stage. 1t is not known that she
contemplates a new matrimonial ven
ture should her prayer for a release
from the bonds which unite her to Ed
ward Langtry be granted. She is eX-
