alton to generation and perhaps from CEN
fury to century, the hard material was
worn away to the depth OF two feet or
more, while at the top OF the sloping
stone was still deeper niche, wherein its
head reposed as it lay keeping its sleep
less watch ON the waters Of the pool
Around this depression and strewn on the
floor of the cave itself were the remains Of
many victims, q considerable number of
whom had not been devoured In every
case, however, the larger bones were bro
ken, and from this circumstance Otter
judged that, although it was the custom
of this dreadful reptile to crush the life
out of all who were thrown to it with a
bite of its fangs, yet, like that of other an
imals, his appetite was limited and it
was only occasionally that he consumed
what he had killed
The sight Of these remains were SO IN
pleasant and suggestive that even Otter,
who certainly could not be called soueam-
ish, FASTENED to descend the rock. As he
passed round it his attention was attract
ed by the skeleton of man who, from va
rious indications, must have been alive
within the last few weeks. 1t was clad in
priests cloak, of which Otter, who was
trembling with cold, hastened to possess
himself. As he picked up tho robe with
one hand he observed beneath 1t bag of
tanned OK hide that doubtless had once
been carried by the owner of the cloak
Perhaps he had food in this thought
Otter, Though what he who comes to
visit the water dweller should want with
food cannot guess. At the least it will
be bad by now, so will leave it and be
gone. Only a vulture could stay for long
in this house of the dead. !" Then he start
ed forward.
For few yards more he had light to
guide his steps, but very soon the dark
ness became complete. Still the cave was
not difficult to travel, for everywhere the
rock was smooth and the water shallow
All that he needed to do was to walk
straight on, keeping touch of the side of
the tunnel with one hand. Indeed he had
but two things to fear-that he should fall
into some pit, and that he might suddenly
encounter another crocodile, ''for doubt
less, thought Otter 'sthe devil was mar
ried''
But he fell into no hole and saw no
crocodile, for, as it CHANGED, the water
dweller of the People of the Mist was q
bachelor 9a So
When the dwarf had travelled up steep
slope for rather more than half an hour,
to his intense joy he saw light before him
and hurried toward it.. Presently he reach
ed the farther mouth of the cavern that
was almost closed by blocks of ice, among
which q little water triekled. Creeping
through an aperture, he found himself
upon the crest of the impossible precipice
at the back of the city, and that before
him vast glacier of green ice stretched
upward on which tho sun shone glo-
riously.

ALL KINDS OF SPORTING,
Crews That Are Training for
the May Regatta at Ell
Campo.
A SprIntIng Match Between Cham
pion Anateurs-The Gun and
Wheel.

The amateur oarsmen who have entered
for the May regatta were well represented
on the bay last Sunday in their different
craft Several short spins resulted among
the single-scull oarsmen which were wit
messed by a number of people who had
gathered on Long Bridge, at the foot of
Third street. The four crews now in train
ing are divided into squads, Nos. 1 and
training on Monday, Wednesday and
Friday evenings, and crews and 4 on
Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. even
ings, thus working each crew on alternate
nights.
The crews in training are as follows:
Crew No. bow, Bob White; forward
waist, Frank Simpson; aft waist, Clarence
Staples; stroke, John Bird. Crew No. 2
Bow, Fred Kohler; forward waist, Tum
SUDDEN; aft waist, E. Miller; stroke, Nc

G. Mcclellan.
The clubs that will be almost certain to
enter crews for the great aquatic struggle
are: South Ends, Acme, Olympic, ST..
Mary's, Ariel, Dolphin, Pacific, Triton,
Stockton of Stockton, Amity OF Stockton
and the Vallejo of Vallejo.
The outdoor athletes of the Olympic
Club are very anxious to see a match race
of 100 yards distance arranged between
Gill, the champion Splinter of the
Olympics, and Scoggins and Barnes OF the
University of California for the champion
ship of the coast. Scoggins has been
credited by his friends with having covered
100 yards in even time, but the Olympic
boys would rather believe that 1917 seconds
is Scoggins' best time under favorable
conditions.
However, Manager Kennedy of the
Olympic Club and Captain Koch of the
University of Berkeley have agreed to
give the sprinters chance of testing their
running abilities, and match viii in all
probability take place on the afternoon of
the Goth inst, at the Olympic grounds, the
day on which the Berkeley athletes will
be given a rousing benefit by the clubs of
the Pacific Association.

ELKINS OUT ON THE BAY.
Senator Perkins Entertains the Distin-
guished Visitors From Across
the Mountains.

Senator Stephen B. Elkips of West Yir-
ginia and Congressman Charles T. Joy of
Missouri were the guests of Senator George
c. Perkins on the State tug Governor
Markham yesterday. Included in the
party with the distinguished visitors were: :
Irving NJ. Scott, Mrs. S. B. Elkins, Davis and
Blaine Elkins, Mrs. E. Ina Ryer, Mr. and Mrs.
w. B. Hamilton, .. S. Grant Jr, III. E. Hunting
ton, Charles Webb Harvard, Milton J. Green,
Harbor Commissioner D. T. Cole, c. F. Bassett,
George Puppy, Hon. r. B. Carpenter, Captain
w. L. Merry, M. G. Perkins, Fred Perkins, Cap.
tain Pike and Thomas Tierney.
A wagon-load of provisions was emptied
on the tug, and shortly before IL o'clock
the Governor Markham steamed away
from La Rue's wharf and headed for the
Union Iron Works. Here the party dis
embarked and an hour was consumed
going through the shops and inspecting
the big battleship Oregon. Then a spin
was taken around the bay, the Markham
going as far as the heads. When the sun
was over the forearm the tug tied up at
the wharf of the Pacific Yacht Club and
the tempting viands of the commissary de-
partment were discussed. Luncheon over
a tour was made through the beautiful
grounds of the clubhouse, after which the
Markham was headed for home.

.HURRYNG ON THE WORK.
Directors of the Valley Rail-
road Push Matters
Rapidly.
A COMMITTEE ON THE TIES.
Building Materials and Rails VIII
Be on the Ground in Sixty
Days.

The directors of the San Joaquin Valley
Railroad held protracted meeting yester-
day and found everything connected with
the great enterprise over which they pre-
side in most satisfactory condition.
They withdrew request for franchise
along Commerce street in Stockton, upon
the recommendation of Chief Engineer
Storey. This was intended for spur track
across Mormon Channel few blocks from
Taylor street where the main line runs.
On going over the ground more carefully
second time it was deemed most advis-
able to eliminate the Commerce-street
spur, and perhaps later on to substitute it
with more useful switch along Mormon
Channel.
The question of purchasing ties and tie
plates was fully discussed. Some differ
ence of opinion arose as to which would be
the better ties, 7KS inches without tie
plates or 6x8 inches with tie plates. No
conclusion was reached upon it and
Directors Whittier, Payson and Stetson
were appointed committee to investigate
the matter and report to the board as soon
as possible.
The size, quality, resisting powers of
different timbers, etc, for ties will be con-
sidered by the committee without delay,
and Immediately report is submitted the
directors will ask for bids on ties and pos
sibly tie plates for twenty miles of track, to
be delivered within sixty or seventy days
at Stockton.
"By that time" remarked Director Isaac
Upham Yesterday, 1.-The rails will be here
from New York with the spikes, locomo-
tives and construction-cars, and building
viii be started right off. The 10000 tons
of rails, with all necessary ties and irons,
will continue to arrive in good time there
after to keep the construction work going
on steadily. We ought to have the road
from Stockton to Bakersfield finished and
in full running order this year. OF course
there may be trouble in places to get
through land, but that obstruction can
only be temporary and at most could de-
lay the work for very short time"
Several letters from cities and towns in
the San Joaquin Valley regarding rights of
way, subscriptions, meetings with the di-
rectors, etc., were read and acted upon.
They have been noticed from time to time
in the CALL. The answer to all was that
the board will in the near future go down
the valley and consider the many liberal
offers of citizens with due consideration.
A letter from the Shandon and Chuluar
railroad promotion committee, asking for
branch road to Shandon, situated about
twenty-five miles southeast of San Miguel,
in San Luis Obispo County, was considered
by the board. The people of Shandon
claimed that a road to their promising
town would pass through 100000 acres
of rich arabic land that would contribute
considerable support to the line. For the
present, however, ali efforts are concen-
.trated on the direct line from Stockton.

The Disbarred Attorney Won a Suit
Before Judge SeawelI.
In Judge Seawells department of the
Superior Court yesterday morning the case
of c. B. Williams against Joseph Cuneo

which declared that he should not act as
