alton Should Be Either for

Daniel of Virginia, and Cockrell of
Missouri, ex-Congressman Bryan of
Nebraska, SnOdgrass of Tennessee. be-
sides others.
The meeting was devoted largely to
introduction and the exchange Of views
as to the lookout for the approaching
convention. The opinion was gener-
ally expressed that there would be no
question as to the absolute control Of
the convention by the silver forces, to
which was generally added a determi.
nation to see that nothing happened to
in any way weaken the control. There
was more n less individual discussion
OF Mr.. Whitney's attitude among the
delegates. 1t was noted that there was
no expression on the part Of any one
favorable to yielding anything to the
gold standard element.
Should Have One Thing or the Other.
The opinion Of the gathering ON this
score was we'll summed in a dramatic
remark by Senator Harris.
II am" the senator said, zone of
many thousands of Democrats and of
many hundreds of delegates. I can't.
of course, speak for all, but l can speak
for myself. I want no compromise.
We should either have a declaration for
the free coinage of silver ON terms of
equality of gold. at the ratio of l6 to |,
SO plain that no human being can mis-.
understand it, or we should have an
equally plain pronouncement for the
gold standard. I think l know which
it will be-"
The formal proceedings consisted in

fer with the executive committee of the
national Democratic committee, con-
sisting Of Senator J. X. Jones or Ar

ton under which this committee was

confer with the executive committee

The San Francisco call., 1896-06-19

1t is common belief that General Di-
mond was fairly well to do in the sense of
worldly possessions, although he was not
by any means millionaire. He owned
stock in various enterprises and controlled
a large interest in the shipping and COM
mission house of Williams, Dimond & Co.
He was generous man in every sense of
the term.
He gave freely to his comrades of the
Grand Army, and contributed to the sup
port OF many local institutions. In club
circles he was particularly we'll known.
He belonged to the Pacific Union, the Bo-
hemian and the Union League.
His death will be greatly regretted in the
National Guard, as he always manifested a
deep interest in the welfare of that organi-
alton. In respect to his memory armory
flags throughout the state were half
masted yesterday. In due time an official
order announcing his death will be promul-
gated from general headquarters at Sacra-
mento.
The body of General Dimond, after the
embalment, will be forwarded to San Fran
cisco attended by proper escort. The
car bearing the casket will leave New York
to-day and is expected to reach San Fran
cisco next Tuesday.

THE SHER|FPS EXPENSES
Whelan's Estimate of Funds
Needed for the Coming
Fiscal Year.
An Increase of 5000 Explained by the
Larger Number of Prisoners
on Hand.

Sheriff Whelan made his estimate of the
amount of money that will be necessary to
run his department. for the ensuing fiscal
year yesterday, and sent the same to the
Auditor.
Mr.. Whelan asks for $500 more than was
allotted him last year, and explains the in
crease by saying that he has larger num-
Der of prisoners to look after, and that in
reality the estimate is lower than that of
1886 because many items have been cut
off and the amounts put into the susten-
ance fund. The itemized estimate is as
follows:
Salaries of office, etc.: Sheriff, $4,000; Under
Sheriff, $240O: book keeper, $4,000; Sheriff's
seventeen deputies at $500 each, $50, 500

BUILDING TO
THE YOSEMITE,
Construction of the Merced
River Railway to
Begin.
CONTRACT FOR GRADING.
First One, for Forty.Six Miles,
to Be Signed Tuesday
Next.
WILL BUILD FROM MERGED.
The New Road Will Tap the Mother
Lode and Rich Timber and
Quarry Districts.

Everything looked particularly favorable
yesterday for the closing of contract to
grade half the new railroad that is to con-
meet Merced with the Yosemite Valley.
Within a week, unless some unforeseen
obstacle should come in the way, the first
shovelful of earth will be turned on the
road into the heart of the Sierras. And
from the hour that event takes place no
time will be wasted on construction of the
road.
1t was stated yesterday by one of the Of
ficers of the company in the offices in this
City that negotia tions were pending with
con tractors, and the expectations were the
first contract for grading would be signed
Tuesday next. This section of the work
covers forty-six miles, a little more than
half the entire length of the road. as the
total distance between Merced and Yo-
semitic is eighty-two miles. The graders
hold themselves ready to begin operations
Immediately, so the prospect of very lively
times at Merced is regarded as certain.
Arrangements have been made for ties
and steel rails, with view to the delivery
of this and other material without delay
soon after the work of grading a roadbed
is in progress.
All building material has been CO n
tracted for, and now the energetic pro-
moters of the Merced River and Yosemite
Railroad are in readiness to 60 to work in
earnest.
The right of way for the entire line, ex-
cepting short gap in the vicinity of
Smelling, has been secured. Owing to an
uncertainty as to the choice of a route at
that point the directors have not yet got
the right of way, but this, it was ex-
planned, would not cause delay, since it
will be some time yet before the graders
will have reached the river. The choice
of two routes for a short distance is under
consideration, and it may be settled Tues
day next.
The first section will tap the mother
lode, the rich mining district in the
Sierras.
1t will also open up a country rich IN
timber and marble and various kinds of
building stone, and when its influence is
felt in developing that region both the
Southern Pacific and Valley roads will have
a valuable feeder in the noun tain line.
The enterprise is coupled with the advent of
the Valley road into Merced, will be a ma
terial help in booming that thriving city.
With part of the Merced River road in
operation construction will be carried on
farther up along the beautiful canyon of
the Merced without cessation till the loco
motive whistles at the gates of the Yosem-
ite Valley reservation will disturb the
echoes of the wonderland. Then it will be
pleasant railroad trip to the Yosemite,
which may be enjoyed by people of linn
ited means.

The PEOPLES BANK SUIT
Hearing Begins Before Judge
Seawell and No End
in Sight.
Attorney Fournoy Explains His Con.
nection With the Pacific Bank
Sale.

Judge Seawell yesterday began the hear
ing of the case of the People against the
Peoples Home Savings Bsnk. The suit
was instituted on the application of the
California Safe Deposit and Trust Com
pany, which corporation holds the books
of about one-fourth of the depositors of
the defunct Peoples Home Savings Bank.
The complaint alleges that s. K. Thorn
ton, Eugene M. Freeman, William H.
Phelps, John F. Sheehan, George Stone
and William P. Taylor, officers and di-
rectors of the savings bank, have mis-
managed the affairs of the institution, and
have not acted for the best interests of the
depositors, or rendered to them a true
sta tement of its affairs.
Attorney John Flournoy was the first
witness called. and he kept the stand all
day. His time was chiefly taken up in ex-
planning the sale of the Pacific Bank
property to the Continental Trust Com
pany, or at least that portion of the trans
action with which he had anything to do.
1t seems that when the bank became
pressed for money, it was decided by the
directors to sell this property, and they
we're willing to accept $120, 600 for it. Both
General Sheehan and Mr.. Flournoy OPP
posed this, they believing more could be
obtained. Flournoy got an offer from R.
D. McElroy OF SIZE, 900, but in the mean
while, the board passed resolution which
bound them to accept $4,000 for the
building. Later, McElroy increased his
bid to $132, coo, but the resolution of the
board so tied things up with the California
Title Insurance Company, who had charge
of the transaction in behalf of the Con-
tinental Fire Insurance Company, that
McElroy's bid could not be accepted,
and subsequently the property was sold to
the former.
1t has been charged that Flournoy did
his best to impede the sale to the fnsur-
ance company, but this he denies, claim
ing he acted only as a friend of McElroy
in the matter and also as friend of the
bank, it being his desire to have the bank
obtain as much as possible for the real
estate.
General Sheehan says that $130,OOO was
a good price for the property and that he
understands that it is now for sale at q
smaller figure than that.
Gunnison, Booth Il Bartnett are at
torHeys for the trust company and r. b.
Carpenter for the bank. The case will be
continued tomorrow.
