Killed bu a Freiaht Train.

SACRAMENTO, Feb. ia freight train
coming in from Davisville tonight struck
a man on trestle in the Yolo tule basin,
killing him instantly. His body fell into
the water and was carried away before the
train hands could recover it. The man
had been sitting on one of the lower beams,
evidently emptying sand from one of his
shoes, and rose above the rails just as the
train came upon him. The empty shoe
and stocking and his roll of blankets were
recovered. The railroad authorities have
men out on the overflow in boats searching
far the body.

Dead on the Beach.

NANAIMo, B. c., Feb. 15.-This afternoon
the body of Thomas McGuffie, wealthy
rancher, was discovered on the beach at

SEATTLE, Feb. 15.-The Chamber of Com
merce has for some time been at work on
the provisions for suitable site for the
military post to be established on Puget
Sound and has secured 600 acres on Mag
noha Bluffs, the site recommended by
General Otis in his report. This site COM
mands the entrance to Seattle harbor and
the whole approach to the upper sound,
and to the Government drydock on Port
Orchard directly across the sound. Forti-
hcations near Port Madison, on the west
side OF the sound, would, with the Magno-
liza Bluffs forts, enable artillery to com
mand both approaches to Port Orchard and
Washington. This site will be offered to
the commission of five military officers
which will decide on the location.

made to Desmond that if he would
make confession duplicating the
others he would be allowed to 60 free.

THE ELECTRIC Acknowledgment
tatives of the Washington, Alexandria
and Mount Vernon Railway Company,
appeared before the District commits
sioners yesterday afternoon and ap-
piled for permit to lay the track ofthe
road in Washington. According to the
act of August 2S, 1894, the company is
authorized to construct q double track
street railway, commencing in B street,
between Seventh and Eighth streets
northwest, at point to be designated
by the commissioners; running thence
westward along B street to Thirteenth
and~a-ha street. thence northward to
E street by single track, then south
ward in Fourteenth street, using the
Belt Line road to the Potomac river.
The Representatives of the electric
railroad company, informed the
commissioners that it was the de-
sire and intention of the officials of the
road to commence the work. Accord
ing to the charter, the work shall begin
within one year of the passage of the
act and be completed by August %,
1896. The permit was withheld, the
matter being taken under considera-
ton. The motive power is limited to
either the underground cable or under
ground electric power, and the install
ing of this system will necessitate the
tearing up of the streets and the chang.
ing of much of the subsurface work OF
the District in the shape of sewers and
water mains. The commissioners will
ascertain the extent of this before is,
suing the permit. The company fur
nished drawing of the proposed groov.
ed rail which will be used, and asked
the approval of the commissions for its
use. This the commissioners also with
held. The maximum width of the
groove used by all street railways in
the District is one inch, while the pro
posed rail had groove of one and
seven. sixteenths in width.

COMMITTEE NEETINGS.-A meeting
of the committee on steets of the City
Council was held last night when q
number Of papers which had been re-
ferred to them were considered. The
application of the Alexandria Chemical
and Fertilizer Company for permission
to construct bridge across Queen
street for the purpose OF connecting
their warehouses received the commit
tees endorsement. The electric rail-
way company were notified to pave
King street west OF Fayette to the ter
minus of their road within five days
from April Is. The petition for the
construction of o railroad track from
Wilkes street into the Smoot tannery
was favorably endorsed, as was also
the petition ofthe Misses Henderson,
for permission to erect frame build
ing on Patrick street between Primes
and Duke. The petition of property
owners on Prince street for grading and
repaying that thoroughfare from FAR
fax street to the Strand was laid over
in order to await the action OF the
Court of Appeals. 1t was ordered that
the pump at the corner OF WasnihS -,
and Franklin streets be repaired. The
resolution providing for the construc-
ton of bnlkhead at the foot of Kihg
street was laid over. 1t was deemed
inexpedient to report favorably on a
resolution for the purchase of S street
sprinkler by reason of the cost of water
and horses. 1t was decided to repair
the pump in the court bounded by
Prince, Alfred, Columbus and Duke
streets.

The RACE TRAcKs.-A dispatch
from Washington says: President
Jones, of the Old Dominion Jockey
Club, returned from Memphis yester-
day. He did not file an application for
either membership or racing license
with the Western Turf Congress. La
canvassing the license prospects with
delegates, he learned that the Western
Congress did not care to grant licenses
in the Jockey Club territory, and so be
came back without making public the
object OF his mission.
bob" Lynn, the Virginia Jockey
Gu s delegate, was not so diplomatic
as President Jones; Mr.. Lynn sought
admission to the Congress Immediately
upon his arrivalin Memphis, and it was
the application of the Virginia Jockey
Club and not the Old Dominion that
was turned down by the Congress.
Had the Virginia Jockey Club secured
Western license it could have con-
tinued its present meeting till the end
of the year. Now it must either close
down in a month or join the outlaws.
Three owners now racing at Alexan-
der Island expect to make entries OF
outlawed horses to one or more st.
Asaph purse events Saturday. In the
event of their entries being thrown out
they will seek to enjoin the club on the
score that they have transgressed no
laws of the State and are accordingly
eligible to race upon any course in the
State.
Old Dominion Jockey Club stockhold-
ers are greatly exercised over the posi-
bility of the Jockey Club revolving the
VirgIuia's license. The close of st.
Asaph would send the New York and
Brooklyn delegations home, leaving
only corporal's guard of Washington
clerks to patronize the sport and for
eign book at Alexander Island.
''If the St. Asaph people need more
affidavits and depositions to strengthen
their case with the Jockey Club" said
President Jones yesterday evening, Il
will get them a CARLOAD Their shut
ting down would entail loss to my
track of from g, 500 to $4,000 a day, in
books, gate money and foreign book
receipts"
Officials of the st. Asaph race track
say that the application for membership
in the Turf Congress at Memphis was
made without their knowledge. Their
relations with the Jockey Club, they say,
are perfectly satisfactory to both par
ties, and so far as they know will so
continue. However, the approval and
protection of the Turf Congress will
work st. Asaph no harm, they under
stand, as that organization and the
Jockey Club maintain amicable rela-
tions with each other.
