the same. A short telephone message
from John T. Doyle told the story. 1t was
as follows:
Miller and Lux have signed papers to sub
scribe $4,000 to the valley road.
Just at this juncture, when large sub
scriptions are not as frequent as the COM
mittee would wish, this one mentioned
was particularly timely and indicated, as
one of the directors said, that there were
many of the moneyed men of San Fran
cisco who would yet come to the front if
they were only given the necessary time to
consider the proposition in all of its
phases.
There are still number OF corporations,
firms and individuals who have signiied
their intention to take stock in the road,
but who have been prevented by one rea-
son and another, from so doing, but the
progress still being made is of nature
which gives the projectors OF the road
much encouragement.
President Spreckels is one of those who
is not concerning himself very much at
present about the money.

HEAVY DRY GOODS FAILURE.
The Philip Kennedy Company Turned
Over to Creditors.

Financial embarrassment has overtaken
the Phillip Kennedy Dry Goods Company
and the business has been turned over to
the man agement of the firms creditors.
The liabilities are footed up to about $40,-
600. There is large balance still due on
notes amounting to $35, 900 which were in
dorsed by J. J. McDade and Mathew
Nunan, which balance the sureties will
now be called upon to pay.
A complete schedule of assets and LA
bilities has notsyet been made, but it is
thought that there will be nothing left'for
the creditors except the dimished stock
now on hand.
The crash came when the wholesalers
refused to fill any more orders unless ac-
companied by the cash equivalent. Then
a demand was made upon the sureties on
the notes for large amount, and these
gentlemen Immediately took possession OF
the store on the strength of the notes they
had indorsed for Mrs. Kennedy. The
agreement under which the notes were in
dorsed was to the effect that they should
be paid off at the rate of $1,000 a month,
which was not done The notes were held
by Murphy, Grant & Co.

WHY A WEDDING WAS DELAYED.
La Grippe Attacked Both the Intended
Bride and Groom.

La Uflppe Attacked Both the INTENDED
Bride and Groom.
A singular case of misfortune has over
taken young lady and gentleman who ar
rived in this city on the 4th inst. and reg
istered at the Cosmopolitan Hotel under
the names of Patrick Fahey and Miss An
ME Hammill of Sonora, Tuolumne County.
After courtship of seven years they
came here to be married by the Rev. Father
Lynch of st. James Church. rhe proprie-
tor of the hotel, who is brother-in-law of
the intended groom, together with his good
wife, began to make arrangements forthe
marriage of the young lady and her
affianced when suddenly the bride-elect
was stricken with the grip. She was al
most on the point of death for three days,
but medical aid brought her around and
on the fourth day her friends thought that
she was in sufficient health to go to the
altar. Unfortunately the watching and
anxiety of the would-be groom proved too
much for him and he was also attacked
with the grip. Yesterday he was pro-
nounced out of danger and the day of the
wedding will be set for some time next
week.
Mr.. Fahey is well-known cattleman of
Tuolumne County and his intended bride
is a resident OF Sonora. Their many

same time the fact should be considered that
the labor of the State should be put to work
and this is one way in which it could be done.
we nave enough of unemployed here to do the
work and hope they will get it.
Thomas Cazneau, who has heard more
complaints of theatrical and travelling men
about California only having one railroad,
than any other man in the city, says:
The valley road is good thing both for the
state and city. While some people may think
the granting of terminal facilities at China
Basin to the new road involves selfish motives,
l cannot overlook the fact that California is
big enough to have, and ought TO have, four or
i've railroads, and too much cannot be given
by the State to bring this about. Every time
such proposition is considered 1t helps San
francisco and the State TO the extent that 1T
stlrs up public sentiment and relegateS siluri-
anism to where it belongs Let US have the
valley road, and as many more as the State can
accommodate.
f. w. Dohrmann, president of the Mer-
chants Association, is in hearty sympathy
with the road and is happy over the fact
that the Legislature took the position it
did in granting the tide lands of China
Basin to the road. Hesaid:
I am glad the Legislature took the stand it
did and gave the road terminal. There is one
thing would like to see, and that is that the
work of construction be given to people who
have lived in California for six months and not
less. We have enough people here out OF work
to build the road but just as soon as word goes
forth that the road is to be built there will be
rush for California of other unemployed labor.
This should be counteracted at once. The road
itself win not mean an immediate relief of the
present financial strlngency, but will be a
wheel within wheel, which will have ten
dency to bring about better times. Let us have
the road by all means.
@Charles Steps, president of the Alma
Mining Company, said:
The giving of the China basin tide lands to
the valley road by the Legislature seems to
meet with favor. know that l am satisfied,
for it is a good thing for the State and San
Francisco. We need roads here and that is the
way to get them.
Joseph King, Supervisor of the First
Ward, says:
While believe the road a good thing for the
city and State, 1 am opposed to the donating
OF anything belonging to the people TO a cor
poration. China Basin belongs to the people,
and do not see that the Legislature had any
right to lease or give that land to any one. As
far as the road is concerned it will be good
thing for the city, and also the State, but do
not like to see the peoples property given away
like that.

ANOTHER Big
SUBSCRIPTION.
FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS FROM
MILLER & Lux FOR THE
VALLEY ROAD.
SURVEYORS 60 OUT MONDAY.
IT Is PROBABLE THAT Two PARTIES
WILL TAKE THE FIELD
AT ONCE.

When the promoters committee of the
valley road got together yesterday after
noon one of its members stated that if the
committee would defer giving out the list
of new subscribers for little while he
thought he would be able to report one of
such dimensions as would be calculated to
arouse feeling of enthusiasm among the
friends of the enterprise.
While the committee did not see fit to
comply with this suggestion the anticipat-
ed subscription made itself apparent Just
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-03-15

"We have more than enough subscribed
to carry the total above s., 100000" said
Vice-President Whittier, but the names
of some of the subscribers have not yet
been reported. so we can't give them out !"
Henry Miller, who was one Of the parties
to the splendid subscription of $4,000
made yesterday, was seen IN his office in
the afternoon, and expressed himself as
heartily in favor of the new road.
1t doesn't matter to me where it starts
from nor where it goes, said he, $50 we
get road from under the control OF a cor
poration which has no sympathy for us.
We consider that our house has helped to
build up this monopoly, and the only pros
pect now left IS to get competing road
leading in some direction.
1t is very humiliating, this position in
which the business men of San Francisco
have been placed. We intend to give this
$4,000 not from any particular county
that sum is fair proportion of the obliga-
ton Tor our firm to assume"
Mr.. Miller said that he was well pleased
with the concession secured from the State,
but was sorry to see that only three Sena-
tors from this vicinity had proven loyal to
the interests of the city.
1t is probable that at least one surveying
party will take the field Monday, either on
this or the opposite side of the bay. Chief
Engineer Storey said yesterday that he
thought two parties would take up the
work. He is only awaiting instructions
from the board, and that body is likely to
take action as soon as Attorney Preston
and John D. Spreckels return from Sacra-
mento.
A plan is on foot, it is said, to turn over
the assets of the San Francisco and Great
Salt Lake Railway to the valley road, and
the maps, moneys, profiles, ETC., are al
ready in the possession of Engineer Storey
About $40, 600 was raised by this corpora

ton and expended in making a survey and
a tract of land was also purchased at Mar
tlnez in order to secure access to deep
water. The survey extends through the
Sacramento Valley and the Beckwith Pass,
and it may prove useful in the event of
future extensions of the new road.

whiskers on his chin" will for the first
time be shown to San Francisco audience
at Morosco's Grand Opera-house. Amos
Howe is the name of the granger, and
Frank W. Bacon, young San Josean, will
interpret his part and eventually straighten
out all the complications and troubles in
the play of "The Estate of Hannibal
Howe"
The piece is four-act comedy-d by
Judson @. Brusie, a member of the present
Assembly from Sacramento, and is the
second dramatic effort of the young states
man. Some two years ago, during idle
hours, he wrote play which he called
1.-The Assemblyman" and in it tried to
teach political lesson. The hero was
political boss, who, strange to say, had no
vices and was endowed with virtues galore
He produced the piece in his native city,
himself appearing in the role of the re-
former. 1t ran for a week and BRUSHES
chilled, but one bit in it made him decide
to keep on perSevering as dramatist.
One small character in it, Silas Null
ford, is taken from actual life, and though
one that the dramatist had not considered
of much importance it made the hit of the
piece. Milford was patterned upon an
old farmer whom he had known intimately
when a boy. So Brusie sat down and wrote
play with the farmer as a central figure,
and on its production by local stock
company last January the play-goers of
the capital city gave it pronounced stamp
of approval.
Bacon, who was for some years news
paperman in San Jose, Mountain View,
Mayfeld and Napa, seemed to have been
nodded for the part, and in the language
of an enthusiastic critic, ''scored the sue
cess of his career. He has given an ind1-
viduality and strong new flavor to the part
of the humane, impulsive, loving old
farmer that is artistic work in the highest
sense. He has to deal with part easily
made ridiculous, but he carefully avoids
going too far"
Some of the old mans experiences with
the Salvation Army are novel and touch
ing. For instance, when he meets "Lieu-
tenant Good" who will, by the way, be
played by the ex-Rev. Mr.. Harris, and sees
him trying to take drunken man home,
he has long and interesting talk with
