Next spring the Haywards Electric Rail-
way would commence TO double several
miles of its track on the San Leandro road.
William Meek, one of the directors, says
that his company has a franchise for
double track from High street to San Lo-
reno junction, and also franchise from
the Board of Trustees for a double track
through the town OF Haywards. The county
franchise Will expire in about a year, and
as it was applied for in good faith, the COM
pany will build a double track.
With the county franchise and the town
one utilized, gap of about three and a
half miles would be left between San Lo-
renZo Junction and Haywards, with only q
single track, but Mr.. Meek thinks that if
application were made to the Board of
Supervisors for franchise for a double
track over this portion of the road, the
same would be granted.
With the extra track intended to be laid,
together with the franchise from San Lo-
renZo Junction to the town limits, the com
pany would then have double track over
It's entire length from Oakland to Hay
wards, and this viii make it the most COM
plete street-railway system in Alameda
County.
Thinks She Ate Poisoned Mush.
Mrs. Carrie A. Libby, San Francisco
woman, died suddenly at the residence of
the Hustedens at Berkeley early this morn
ing. She went to the house last night and
complained Of being sick and asked TO be
allowed to stop for the night. Before re-
firing she told her friends that her sick
ness might have been caused by some
poisoned mush. She stated that she had
eaten some mush early in the day at the
home of Mrs. Maude Brand at West Oak
lon hnc aTd ? cd e-af
which had been used previously for pre-
pairing phosphorus mixture with which
TO kill rats. She thought some of the
phosphorus might have got mixed with
the mush and caused her sickness.
As there were none of the usual symp-
toms of poisoning observed, nothing more
was thought Of Mrs. Libby'S complaint
but early this morning the woman died
before medical assistance arrived. After a
cursory examination, DR.. Roweu dis
credited the poison theory, and gave it as
his opinion that the woman had died of a
tumpr. The peculiar circumstances of
her death caused the Coroner to decide on
holding an inquest. The deceased appears
to be a woman about 80 years of age, and
from an address found in her pocket it was
seen that her home is at 2222 Hyde street,
San Francisco. An inquest will be held
tomorrow.

Endeavorers at Peace.
Everything seems to be in a satisfactory
way toward the settlement of the diff
culties of the Christian Endeavorers.
There was meeting of the executive COM
mlttee of the Christian Endeavor Society a
few days ago, when the alleged opposition
OF the Endeavorers to the ministers was
discussed.
1t was agreed that the fact that no ret
erence was made in the bylaws to the ad-
mission of clergymen to the conferences
was an oversight and was not intended as
an affront. An amendment to the BY
laws remedying the defect was proposed
and decided upon. In accordance with
rule, the proposed amendment will be held
in allegiance for a month and will then be
put to final vote.
Collins Out on Bail.
The third trial of Michael Collins for the
killing of Phillip Boogar will be set for
February of next year. The crowded
criminal calendar in Judge Tricks court
would not admit of an earlier date. AS
the two former trials the jury has dis
agreed, and this afternoon Attorney George
knight made an argument in favor of ad-
hitting Collins to bail. Judge Frick took
the matter under advisement and before
court closed made an order that bail should
be granted.
