BRYAN AT JACKSONVILLE.
Held a Reception in Church After Ser
yices-Talks to Students Today.

Jackson vile, Ill.,, Oct. 25.-It was a
Bryan spent in this city, where for six
years he prepared himself for his after
life. In the morning he attended SER
vices at the State Street Presbyterian
church. II was probably the largest
congregation that Rev. A. B. Morris has
addressed in that edifice. Long before
the hour that the congregation generally
assembled the church was crowded, and
in front of the building many of the citi-
zens of Jacksonville waited for over an
hour in order to get a glimpse of the
former citizens. When he did arrive
there was general craning of necks,
and one of the admirers of his opponent
cheered for Mckinley. The sermon did
not touch upon any of the political issues
and, barring the usual prayer for the
welfare of those in high Offices, no one
would have known that a man of national
reputation helped to make up the con-
gregation.
After the sermon an informal recep-
tion was held from the pew which Mr..
Bryan had occupied, and as soon as pos
sibe the nominee was taken out by
side door and driven rapidly away.
Mr.. Bryan spent the day at the home
of DR.. Hiram X. Jones, where he lived
during his residence in this city. There
were few callers, but outside the house
a large crowd gathered and stared at the
few visitors who were admitted to grasp
the hand and exchange compliments of
the day with the candidate.
Tomorrow Mr.. Bryan will address the
students of the college in which he
studied. At 10 o'clock those who desire
to hear him will assemble in the chapel,
and he will speak twenty minutes.
At 2 p. m. he addresses a large meet
ing in the city park on the issues of the
day. He will depart for Alton at 4:30,
arriving there at $3.50. and will put in a
good share of the next four hours there,
expounding free silver doctrines. AT
1890 he leaves for Lincoln, arriving there
Tuesday morning

was removed and was found to be in a
much diseased condition. He is now
resting easily and will most likely recov-
er. but can not play this year again, and
is strongly advised never to go on the
gridiron again. The physicians say had
he played in yesterdays game with

ALL WANT A CINDER ROAD.
But 1t Will Probably be Built From Here
to Stockton.
The Capital City Wheelmen Will
Set the Ball Rolling Right
Away.

There was large attendance at the
Capital City Wheelmen's meeting last
eV ening, at the clubs headquarters, to
discuss the advisability of constructing
a cinder track from the city to Folsom.
In order to feel the pulse Of the club a
resolution to the effect that it was the
sense of the meeting that such a road
should be built, without regard to direc-
ton, was carried unanimously.
The attention Of the meeting was then
called to a road scraper, with which, it
was asserted, the road could be built at
cost not to exceed 500 for each
twenty miles. The scraper could be
purchased for $275, or rented for half
that sum, SO that a road might be built
quite a distance at nominal cost.
communication was received from
j. A Woodson Of the Executive Com
mittee, requesting the wheelmen to at
tend the exhibition of the School of De-
sign after the close OF the meeting, and
urging that immediate action be taken
to further the building of the road,
and secure funds by levying an
assessment on individual mem
bers, and appointing Committee
On Ways and Means to secure subscrip-
tions from keepers of public houses
along the proposed line of the road.
AT this point new turn of affairs was
taken, and it was urged by several
members that the track should be built
TO Stockton instead of to Folsom and
that by so doing it was believed the
Stockton wheelmen would respond, and
enter heartily into the project.
1t was asserted, and the assertion was
roundly cheered, that a macadamized
road would shortly be constructed be-
tween Sacramento and Folsom, which
would be the equal of any road the club
would be able to construct.
The Stockton idea seemed to strike
the members and many expressed their
appreciation Of the scheme. It ended
by motion that the proposed road be
built to Stockton, instead of to Folsom,
which was carried without dissenting
voice
Frank Dwyer then moved that Com
mittee on Ways and Means, to consist of
Messrs. Frank Miller, W. E. Hale and
II. Bennett, be appointed to act in con-
junction with the Executive Committee,
and to report at the next regular meet
ing on the advisability of buying or
leasing a scraper also upon the laying
out of the track, ana that they formu-
late a system of raising revenue to COM
mence and push the road to completion.

CONCERNING CRUSHED ROCK.
Highway Commissioner Irvine RefuteS
MCDOlald'S Statement.
The Prices Established Were Pub
ished in All the Newspapers
on the Coast.

Commissioner r. c. Irvine of the Bu-
reau Of Highways is hot in the collar at
the statement made by John w. Nc
Donald Of the San Francisco Street I'M
provement Company that the Commits
sioners did not notify the San Francisco
contractors that crushed rock would be
furnished from Folsom at fifty cents
yard, and also that Mr.. Irvine pub
licly stated on the morning Of the open
ing of the bids that it would Furnished
for that price and that the contractors
therefore saw that they were captured
by a joker" and that Touhey, having
the tip" had underoid them.
The San Francisco contractors have
been in our office repeatedly and in
quired as to the prices of rock said he,
''and been furnished with all the infor-
nation we had. Perrine's Superintend-
ent, when he was working on Tenth
street, was here also.
Last June the Commissioners went
to the railroad company's Office and OBJ
tained rates of transportation. On July
9th there was joint session of the
Governor, State Prison Directors and
the Bureau of Highways, at which these
rates We're ratified On July Sth the
ished in the Record Union" and on
July 21st they were published in the San
Francisco papers, and copied by the
other papers all over the State, as clip
pings IN the office of the Bureau of
Highways will show.
"On August 9th the Record Union
published the message of Mayor Stein
man to the City Trustees, stating that
the Governor and the Bureau Of High
ways had said the rock would not cost
over seventy cents.
In the evening paper of October 18th
1t was stated that Commissioner Man
son said the cost of the streets around
Capitol Park would not be more than
3 lineal foot. On January II, 1896.
the bureau held joint session with the
state Prison Directors at San Quentin,
and the records appeared in all the San
francisco papers, and the statement
that the rock would be furnished at
10 per cent. above cost was published
an all the papers.
Inc statement Mcdonald saws
made, was made on the evening the bids
We're opened. 1t was not made at the
trustees room, but at a meeting Of the
League OF American Wheelmen. and
the BIDS We're all sealed up hours before
! made 1t. So far as 1 am concerned
Mr.. Touhey had no information that
everyone had not. Mr. Mcdonald sim
ply feels sore because Touhey got AWAY
with him.
commissioner Maude says that the
three San Francisco contractors were
informed by him personally on different
occasions as to the price Of rock and
other matters.

le car shops, preparatory to being put

the car shops, preparatory to being put
on the road
The car is a model of neatness and ap-
parent comfort, and is entirely modern
in every particular. 1t is finished in
Eastern ash, highly polished. 1t is
rounded vestibule, with side doors open
ing into the vestibule compartments
only. One end of the car contains let
ter boxes, under each of which is placed
q revolving square, destined to have
the names of four route Postofnces
pasted upon it. The other end is filled
with asserting cases, bag racks, draw
ers, slides, boxes, pigeon-holes and a
thousand other things for which a lay
man could find no use, but which go
toward making the life of the railroad
Postmaster one of comparative ease,
and almost makes one envy him his
position.
The car is lighted by gas, having six
lamps, with four jets each, along the
top and center, and two on either side
with one jet each, besides double jet
ted burner in each vestibule. The gas
is compressed and carried in three
cylinders beneath the car, the capacity
of which is sufficient to light the car
from San Francisco to New York, or an
ordinary run.
Then again there is a new contr1-
vance, which is nothing less than a
ccmpressed-air signal by which the
Postmaster, by pulling down lever,
telegraphs the engineer that it is time
to stop. If bandits enter his car he is
thus enabled to sound the signal of dis
tress and allow the detective force to
rally to his aid. The new signal seems
to be we'll thought of among railroad
men.
One yestibule compartment contains
baker and heater, in the other one is
the toilet, and IN the middle of the car
is a gas stove upon which the Route
Agent may, at a spare moment, broil a
beefsteak or flip a f1apjack, and thus
keep the wolf away. The car is sixty
feet in length. weighs about S6,OOO
pounds, and Is far ahead of anything in
its line for convenience that has ever
been seen on this coast.
