WANT NO STEAM CARS,
South San Francisco Property-Owners
Protest Against Any Fran
chise.

The property owners of South San Fran
cisco are protesting against the granting of
a franchise to the San Joaquin Valley
Railroad along Railroad avenue. Six
copies of petition were circulated yester-
day for signatures. The intention is to
present it to the Board of Supervisors
Monday.
In the language of the petition, Railroad
avenue lis the main and in fact the only
thoroughfare through that section of the
City, and should by all means be used only
for streetcar and general traffic purposes. !"
The reason for the protest is given as fol-
lows:
For distance of eighteen blocks it has been
graded, severed and paved at heavy expense,
and steps have already been taken to improve
said avenue through to the County line, which,
when completed, will give a broad and easy
entrance to the City from San Mateo County
and will afford the citizens of San Francisco a
delightful and picturesque drive into the coun-
try along the shore line of the bay.
Among the first signers were DR.. David
B. Todd, for himself and the Masonic Hall
Association, of which he is the agent, and
Lowell White, cashier of the San Francisco
Savings Union, which is a large property
owner there, and donated $50 900 to the
Valley road. DR.. M. A. Mclaughlin and
John Puckhab also put down their
names early in the day. DIR. Todd said:
1t was the intention to extend the improve
ments along Railroad avenue to the Five-mile
House this summer and that would have been
done but for the Valley roads application for a
franchise. The CrockeT, Hudson and Hearst
estates were all eager for the street improve
ments to go on. The railroad could run from
China Basin along Illinois street to First
avenue, thence along First avenue to India
Basin, thence along H street to the County
line, tunneling under the hill, or it could go
by way of the marsh.
A request is to be made to Superintend-
ent Vining of the Market-street Railway
Company, asking for the horsecars to be
again put on Fifteenth avenue to the San
Bruno road, "as matter of mutual bene-
fit" 1t is signed HI. Grumpy, G. McCon-

Electric alarms at the South San Fran
cisco police station and engine-house are
being put in by the two Catholic orphan
asyiums at considerable expense. In case
of fire they would thus obtain assistance in
a very short time. Police Sergeant Ros-
kamp could be on hand with his gig in
less than ten minutes from the time an
alarm was sent in. c

No Effect unnn Holmes.

Philadelphia, August SO.-The news
from Indianapolis that the supposed
body of young Howard Pitezel had
been located in the chimney of house
in the suburbs of that city was con-
veyed to Holmes in his cell at Moyem-
ensing prison by his attorney this
afternoon. The attorney had long
conference with Holmes, in relation to
this new phase of the case. He states
that Holmes did not waver in his
claim that Howard Pitezel had been
left in the care of Hatch and Minnie
Williams ON October 10 last. Holmes
counsel said his client is so accustomed
to hearing of startling developments in
the case and has been so frequently &C.
cused of crimes which it would have
been physically impossible for him to
commit, that little matter of the find
ing of few bones has not the slightest
effect upon him.

News From Alaska.

Port Townsend, August 2S.-Kjell-
man, of Madison, Wis, who took a
party of Laplanders to Port Clarence to
take charge of the government reindeer
stations in Alaska, arrived on the bark
Sonoma this MORNING. The govern
ment now has about 1000 head of rein
deer, and they are thriving fast. The
cutter Bear brought over this season
1870 head from Siberia, most of which
are in far less better condition than the
Alaska deer. The herds have increas-
ed 800 head, and only eleven have
died. The stations are supplied with
the following number of deer:
Cape Prince of Wales, 40; Port
Clarence, 500, and Cape Nome, 200.
Some natives engaged in a personal
encounter, and four were killed. One
man who had dispute with another
in relation to the division of seal,
which each claimed he killed, deliber-
ately took an ak and chopped his ad-
versary's head off as the latter was
coming in through an open door. The
other three were killed by shooting and
stabbing.

London, August 28.-At the inquest
today on the remains of Gertrude
Mayston, who was shot and killed by
her husband, after which the latter at
tempted suicide and is now in the hos
pital, the evidence showed that the de-
ceased was formerly member of the
Gaiety company under the stage name
of Gertie Hitler, and that she played in
the United States in 1894 under the
management of Henry E. Abbey. 1t
was also shown at the inquest that she
was the daughter of naval captain,
and that she married a cabdriver.
Jealousy is supposed to be the cause of
the crime, as man named Simpson
was frequently seen with her.
