FINALLY FILED A REPORT.
Southern Pacific Complies With the
Railroad Commissions Order.

Southern Pacific Complies With the
Railroad Commissions Order.
The Railroad Commissioners have waited
since last August for the annual report
from the Southern Pacific Railroad Com
pany, and now they have really received
it and are agreeably surprised, for the act
of submitting report is an undeniable
acknowledgment by the railroad company
of the right of the commission to de-
mand it.
The report is for the year ending June
80, 1896, and. though it shows but small
profit, it is a satisfactory improvement
over that of the preceding year, which
closed with deficit.

revenues and expenses:

the opening mile and seventy yard run.
Strathrol, q new horse in these parts, at
first held the place of honor in the bet
ting, but he soon gave way to st. Lee, who
was hammered down from 3 to to to 5.
He was poor last at the nrst turn, but
overhauled one after another of the six
starters and in hard drive beat Strathrol
out a scant head. Mamie Scott showed
the way 10 the stretch.

winner was to in the betting. Dolore,
heavily played, was third.
Edward Corrigan's jumper, Captain
Rees, was top-heavy, even-money choice
for the mile and half hurdle affair, but
appears to have not yet gained his sea-
legs, for he finished Door third. Colonel

showing the way as the bend for home

the second choice, refused to break when
the barrier went mp and was left.
The gay and festive Libertine was in
fine fettle yesterday. and the concluding
seven furlong spin was Juicy plum for
him. Going to the post l to 8, he galIoped
the head off Cesarian, beating Mr.. Sinks

race not to be sneezed at. The time,

NEW PESTHOUSE.
A Hospital for Contagious Diseases to
Be Located on the City and County
HosDftal Lot.

Hospital Lot.
The Board of Health settled the ques-
tion as to where the Pesthouse is to be To-
Gated in summary manner yesterday,
the recommend alton of the Hospital Com
mIttee that the building be located within
the City and County Hospital grounds
being accepted without dissenting voice.
DR.. Hart, chairman of the committee,
stated that the decrepit old Pesthouse had
been examined and that it was beyond re-
pair. He said that to spend money on 1t
was to waste public resources.
DR.. Williamson offered a resolution, that
was passed by the board, instructing the
Superintendent of the City and County
Hospital TO select a site on the hospital
grounds IN the northern part for new
building to be known as the hospital for
contagious diseases. He was also ordered
to have plans and specifications Tor the
structure drawn up at once.
Health Inspector Stout recommended
that the buildings at 43 Jessie street, 182
Stevenson, 81 Natoma and 19 Clementina
be condemned and destroyed. He also
recommended the condemnation of the
shanties on the lot at Fell and Broderick
streets.

M|DWEEK IHEATER NOTES
The Tabers Give an Interesting
Performance of Twelfth
Night
Laughter and Tears in Tennessee's
Pardner" at the Colum bia
Theater.

Theatrical managers are resigned 10
their fate this weak, for on the eve OF
Presidential election it is scarcely to be
expected that the theaters will draw as
usual. Some of the houses are doing a
satisfactory business. but on the whole
the audiences are slim.
"Twelfth Night" received its first pro-
duction during the present engagement OF
the Tabers at the Baldwin Theater last
night Robert Taber gave finished and
interesting piece of acting as Malvolio.
Like Henry Irving he took the part seri-
ously, making the poor duped steward q
gentleman, whose delusions and disillusions
arouse at least as much pity as rdicule. One
is so used to seeing Malvolio burlesqued into
a mere buffoon thatit was treat 10 hnd the
role acted with delicacy and intelligence.
Mrs. Taber was delightful Viola, natural
and simple and intensely IN earnest. as usual
The end of the cast was we'll acted. That
mischief loving trio, Sir Andrew. Sir Toby and
the festive maid, succeeded in winning plenty
of responsive laughter from the audience.
The parts were played, by Hawley Francks, u.
w. Anson and Katherine Wilson respectively.
"Tennesses Pardner," at the Columbia
Theater, is a play in which Scott Marble has
been peculiarly happy in catching the delicate
human character drawing of Bret Harte. Jane
COrcOran gives CHARMING 1mpersonatlon OF
Tennessee Kent, the Eastern girl who comes
to seek her father in the Western mining
camp, and finds that he has gone beyond
human ken, while his rough mining friends
had gone on writing TO Tennessee and sending
her money. purporiing to come from him. The
scene in which she is told of her fathers death
by Caleb Swan is full of natural, simple
pathos. Indeed there is a good deal OF this
sort of sentiment in the play, although 1t is
relieved by plenty of laughter.
