RAILROADS AND RECEIVERS.

Utah Northern and Oregon Short Line
Beyond Union Pacific Control.
L. FL. Goodman, general passenger and
ticket agent of the Southern Pacific, re
turned from three weeks trip East last
Saturday and was on duty at his office yes
terday. He attended meeting of passen-
ger agents in Chicago, and is apparently
satisfied with the existing condition of
affairs. There are no indications of a
smashing of rates this summer.
He says the National encampment of
| the Grand Army of the Republic at Louis
vile next September will be largely at
tended by Eastern people. 1t is too early
to make any predictions about the attend
ance from the Pacific Coast, but round
trip ticket from California TO Kentucky
will be sold at the present cost of a ticket
one way.
News came yesterday that John NJ
Salt Lake receiver for the Utah Northern,
the line extending from Ogden to Butte.
| The CALLS dispatches had stimulated
among railroad men keen interest in the
proceedings and the appointment was not
unexpected.
Mr.. Egan is also receiver for the Oregon
| Short Line. The courts at Portland, st.
| Paul and Salt Lake now sustain him. 1t
| is presumed that the roads which he repre-
sents will henceforth be operated as indie
pendent lines wholly beyond the control OF
the Union Pacific. The receiyership OF the
Union Pacific now controls only the main
! line from Ogden to Omaha and the Kansas
Pacific line from Kansas City to Cheyenne
via Denver. Mr.. Goodman hea rs that the
| Kansas Pacific interest is also seeking a
| separate receivership.

erty to her was destroyed Supposedly by
Hunter), and the executors of the estate,
Messrs. Tilden & Tilden, presented will
which conveyed the bulk of the property
to number of foreign heirs, and alleged
that the deed was not valid.
Mrs. Hunter Immediately instigated a
suit against the executors and heirs to
prove that the deed was in existence up to
the time of her husbands death and to
determine its validity. and at the same
time to contest the will and determine the
legal right of Mr.. Hunter making a will
after deciding the property to his wife.
On January s, 1885, Judge Seawell rem
dered a judgment acknowledging the ex-
istence and validity of the Iced and gave
her all Of the property, obliging the
executors to surrender their claim upon
the estate.
After the decision was rendered the heirs
proposed a compromise, stating that they
would give up all claims to the estate and
abandon their appeal from Judge Seawell's
opinion and abide by the decision of the
court, if Mrs. Hunter would pay each of
the heirs, Ellen M. Stewart. Jane H.
Crichton, Elizabeth Methven, Margaret c.
Wilkie, George Methven, Mary Craik and
Betsy Webster $4,000 each, which was
agreed upon by both sides in the case and
the matter is now on the way to ultim ate
settlement.
In Judge Seawell's decision one clause
stated that it was not obligatory on Mr..
Hunters part to follow the instructions in
regard to the requests to charities, but Mrs.
Hunters wishes in regard to the matter
have already been concluded.
The entire matter of the compromise has
become a matter of court record by being
submitted to Judge Coffey for approval.
The final papers denying the right of ap-
peal were signed by Judge Sanderson last
Saturday and entered upon the records of
the court yesterday.
F. s. Stratron, the attorney employed by
Mrs. Hunter to demand her rights, is
highly pleased over the way matters have
shaped themselves, and considering the
amount of money involved in the case and
the number of heirs interested it has been
disposed of in speedy and efficient
manner.

ACTOR EMMET'S CASE.
His Wife Does Not Desire to Prosecute
and 1t Is Therefore Con-
tinued.

Joseph K. Emmett and his friends ap-
peared bright and early at Judge Camp
bells court yesterday morning. Mrs. EN-
met was represented by Attorney William
H. Cook, who announced that his client
did not wish to prosecute. AS she was
unable to appear in court personally Judge
Campbell consented to a continuance of
one week.
Mrs Emmett still refuses to receive Wis
itors. From a personal friend it was
learned that the bruise on the side of her
head was rapidly healing and that she
would be out in few days.
A reconciliation has been effected with
her husband. From the first Emmett has
expressed the greatest contrition for his
unfortunate attack. As Mrs. Emmett had
expressed herself as desiring that her hus-
band might not be prosecuted this result
was not unexpected.
Mr.. Emmett has been much annoyed by
the stories that have been circulated con-
corning his wife and himself.
81 don't care what they say about me-"
he said, "but have heard that some SEN
sational rumors were afioat and might get
into circulation and thus do my wife a
gross injustice. wish to say that what
ever occurred on Saturday night land I
remember nothing of it) was caused solely
by the fact that 1 had been drinking ex-
cessively. Judging from what | have
heard [ must at the time have been abso-
lutely insane. There is no other cause
that [ can assign for having done this, as I
love my wife dearly and know that nv
affection is returned

AMBULANCE OVERTURNED,
Serious Accident to Thomas
Scott, the Driver, at the
SutrO Baths.
Three Of the Windows, the Glass
Door and the Medicine Bottles
Broken.

Thomas Scott the driver of the Receiy-
ing Hospital ambulance, met with a seri-
Gus accident yesterday afternoon which
will keep him in bed for several weeks.
About o'clock there was a call for the
ambulance to go to the Sutro baths. Wal
ter Rivers, an accountant from San Jose,
had been taking in the sights accompanied
by his little boy. While bending over to
view the panorama of the world scaffold
on which some carpenters were working
bent outward and one of the planks be-
came detached. The plank struck Rivers
a violent blow on the back of the neck,
knocking him almost senseless. The call
for the ambulance was to take him to the
Receiving Hospital.
Steward Alexander accompanied the
ambulance, and while he was in the baths
with the stretcher one of, the employees
suggested to Scott that if he would turn
the ambulance round and drive down
another road he would get close to where
Rivers was and obviate the necessity of
carrying him up the long flights of stairs.
Scott was turning round when one of the
horses SHE'D at post and backed up, over
turning the ambulance. Scott Jumped
from his seat on the down side, but before
he could get out of the way the ambulance
struck him and knocked him down and
then slid over him. Three of the windows
and the glass in the door were broken, and
the jagged pieces of glass cut SCOTS face
and head terribly. He was picked up in a
semi-conscious condition.
The patrol wagons from the Central
and North End police stations were sum-
moned to the baths, and Rivers and Scott
were taken to the Receiving Hospital.
Rivers had his confused neck attended to
and was sent to the Golden West Hotel,
where he was guest.
SCOTS injuries were serious. There was
a slight fracture over his right eyebrow
and long, jagged wound. Behind the
left ear there was long, deep wound, and
there were several cuts on his scalp. Both
his hands were also injured.
By the overturning of the ambulance
the medicine bottles were all broken, and
the interior looked as if it had been struck
by a cyclone

A REFORM PLATFORM.
Presented by Rev. DIR. Scott at the Meet
ing of the Fabian Club Last
Evenipu

Evening.
The Fabian, Club last night discussed a
platform which, in the opinions of its
members, might be adopted by all the re-
form parties. Rev. DR.. Scott had been ap-
pointed to draft such platform and his
presentation of it led to general discus
sion which showed that in the main it met
with the approval of the entire club. 1t
recommended the adoption of the initiative,
referendum and imperative mandate as
the first plank. The second favored paper
currency with national credit as a solution
of the money problem. 1t recommended
that the government be authorized to con-
troll transcontinental railroad. Equal
suffrage was another provision to which it
was thought all reform parties would sub
scribe. The platform recommended the
institution of postal savings banks and the
sixth and last plank favored municipal
management of public utilities as water
and gas.
In the five-minute discussion which fol-
lowed, one of the members proposed the
single tax, but it was conceded that there
might be objections to it.
The club is composed of about fifty
members. The Fabian Club of London is
its model. and its object the discussion Of
economic questions. 1t is pursuing these
which are held weekly at the headquarters,
513 Van Ness avenue, are public.
The American branch of the Socialist
Labor party has invited the Fabian Club
to furnish a speaker for the Septem Der
meeting, which it will do, but it has not
yet been decided who will represent the
club.

Morosco's Opera-House,

Like most of Moroseo's productions, "The
Struggle for Life'' is full of telling scenic
effects. The picture of New York harbor by
moonlight is very pretty, the cathedral scene
is also good and the scene where the hero is
seen struggling for his life in great city sewer
is particularly effective.
In ''The Struggle of Life" Miss Hall is more
intense than ever. She represents an outcast,
Madge Wilton, and she is pursued by the
villain, John Lorley, who has two of the lowest
wretches in his pay to make away with her.
Some of the scenes take place in the ''re-
treat" which is supposed to be one of the worst
dens in New York, where people are lurcd in
to play cards. and being overcome with strong
drink are robbed and dropped through hole
in the floor into the sewer. Walter Sanford
played well as the sailor pretending
to be drunk in the den. Julia Blanc took the
role of Mollie in a spirited and amusing way.
Harry Benrimo made up excellently as the
was entertaining as Casey. All the other parts
were in good hands

There was comedy and laughter in the AL
cazar last night The comedy was ''Humbug'
on the stage. in which the members OF the
Daley troup took part, while the large audience
furnished the laughter, produced by the mirth-
provoking situations in the farcical production
of Fred Marsden.
The dialogue is bright to the point, and al
most every sentence is provocative of laughter.
1t can truly be said that there is not dull line
in the whole comedy. Miss Nannary's rem
dition of the role of the widow was all that
could be asked for while Margaret Marshalps
