The San Francisco call., 1896-01-15

about two-fifths of the canal has been COM
pleted, leaving third of mile or SO yet
to be dug out. The width of the canal is
400 feet
Near Park street in Alameda stretch of
the canal was scooped out, there being no
connection with tidewater. A $4,000
drawbridge was placed over that isolated
section of the canal, and there the project
was compelled to await developments and
further appropriations.
The new appropriations were granted by
Congress, but the money has been almost
entirely directed to other uses than the
opening of the canal, and the scooped-out
section of the waterway, with its pictur-
esque drawbridge, has remained without
even threat OF competition to the South
ern Pacific Company. The stretch of canal
at the bridge was filled with fresh water.
and that becoming stagnant was menace
to health until an outlet six feet wide was
dug. Last winter the six-foot stream was

OF the work now being accomplished under
the $4,000 appropriation.
Not only is it getting the advantage of a
deep ana safe waterway for its own steam
boats, which do not run beyond the foot
OF Broadway, but it is also having its wide
and solid roadway along the narrow-gauge
treStle quit up by the dredging operations
for which the Government is paving.
In order to dredge ont the bed of the
creek 1t IS necessary to dispose of the mud
and IN order to build up solid roadway
like that now being constructed along the
narrow-gauge line it is necessary to get
earth from somewhere. The creek and
narrow-gauge line running side by side,
the combination of circumstances was IA
Vorable and the Government contractor
was induced to pump the mud out where
the railroad company wanted it.
The stretch of land thus jutting out into
the bay mile or two is the property of
the railroad company, while the expense OF
hliing 1t IN Is borne almost entirely bv the
Government in paying for the dredging.
lit makes no difference to the Govern
ment, said local engineer, what is done
with the mud taken from the bed of the
creek so long as the disposal of it is salts
factory to the Government engineers. This
method of disposal being satisfactory to
the Government the railroad had only to
deal with the contractor and pay him 2 or
3 cents yard for pumping the mud on to
their right OF way. OF course it's nothing
directly out OF the Governments pocket,
but 1t is good thing for the railroad and
the contractor.
If the railroad company has used its
influence in any way l think it has Used it
to bring about such happy com bination
OF circumstances and to have the dredging
done in the right place and at the right
time. Anybody can see that it is better
for the railroad to have the dredgers at
work in the lower creek just now than in
the Alameda canal at any time"
There is little prospect that the tidal
canal will be known in the present gener-
alton, but the building ap of the railroad
right OF way along the narrow-g gauge tres
tie, seemingly greater undertaking, has
been nearly accomplished.
The San Francisco call., 1896-01-15
BUILDING At THE GOVERNMENTS EXPENSE,

The last appropriation of 5000 600 made
by Congress is being used for the Oak
land harbor Improvements, but the i'm
provements now under way are such
that the Southern Pacific Railroad Com.
pany gets the greatest benefit, while
there is little or nc advantage to the resi-
dents OF Oakland or Alameda in any bet
ter facilities for transportation.
Not only is the railroad company profit
ing by the improvement OF the lower chan
mel, in which its creek boats run, but it is
making use of the Government dredging
operations TO build up the solid earthway,
as wide as Market street or wider, along
the line of the narrowgauge trestle.
The railroad company may not be using
any influence on the Oakland harbor work,
as the officers maintain, but however that
is, the improvements are of q character to
benefit the railroad without giving any
advantages to competitive transportation
When the tidal canal was first projected
Oakland and Alameda thought that the
day of their deliverance from commercial
bondage had come. The ships of the sea
were expected to soon be as close to those
cities as TO San Francisco, and the mer-
chants on the mainland side of the bay be-
came iubilant over the prospect of actual
seaport advantages. But the canal is net
yet complete. and there is no indication of
the time when the work OF construction
can be resumed.
The dredging was begun years ago, and

REPUBLICAN DELEGATES,
A Plan of Proportional Rep
resentation for the Con.
vention.
Reduction of the Total Number Is
dvocated-General Committee
to Meet.

The executive committee OF the Repub-
lican State Central Committee met yester-
day at 49 California street,
P B. Cornwall presided, and the follow
ing members were present: ]. FL. Ma
honey, ]. D. Spreckels, J. c. DAILY OF
Ventura, y. A. Hale of San Jose; Frank
McQuade, who acted as secretary; w. w.
Montague, Henry P Sonntag, Asa R.
Wells, A. C. Palieri, N. Cooney, a. Ruef,
H. L. Dodge, David Kerr and Edward
Sweeny.
On motion of ). H. Mahoney the chair
man and secretary were instructed to pre-
pare an apportionment of delegates and
to formulate call for the State Repubi-
can primary election, both to be submit
ted at the committees next meeting, to be
held on February Is.
The general committee will be called
together on February 30, in a hall to be
selected by Secretary MeQuade.
1t was the sentiment of majority of the
executive committee that proportional
representation be figured on the Budd and
Estee vote, and also that the number of
delegates be reduced. At the last conven-
ton there were S4S names on the roll, and
now 1t is pretty generally believed that 600
names would be quite sufficient to represent
Cornwall and Secretary McQuade on the
Estee and Budd votes there would be 500
/ delegates, figuring IN one delegate for every
200 votes and one additional for each
county.
Another reason advanced for this pro-
posed reduction is that no Governor will
have to be elected by the next State con-
vention, and consequently there will be less
interest in the transactions, which means
that fewer men will seek the honor OF sit
ting in the convention.
Four cities are making a fight for the
convention-Sacrament Santa Cruz, San
Jose and Oakland. Some members of the
committee are inclined to favor San Fran
cisco, but as delegates would find here so
many attractions to tempt them away from
the convention, it IS understood that q
smaller city is preferable to the majority.
San Jose has many warm and enthusiastic
supporters, even at this early date, and
seems to be making more of a stir than
her competitors are making. Mr.. Hale
had a little to say il favor of his city yes
terday, and appeared hopeful that his
! town would win.

A SeIf-HeIp Society Has Been formeo
in Eureka, Humboldt
County.

A. Crocker, member of the Humboldt

ters at Eureka, Cal, is in the City at the
present time preparing to make a tour OF
the woolen-mills in and around Stockton,
Marysville ard Petaluma, with a we" 10

ticabie to erect a mill in Eureka.

our city something to dc" said MI
Crocker yesterday, ''and if it is good busl-
ness Judgment to erect and prepare Tor
operation a woolen-mill we witt put up
sufficient capital to begin work.

to Park street, and with the turning of the
drawbrldge it has been possible for them
TO go on up into San Leandro Bay and out
again TO the open water at the south. Such
are the conditions on the map.
With that extension OF the head of Oak
land Creek navigation, years ago, the sister
cities across the bay from San Francisco
obtained the highest degree of commercial
freedom and were forever released from the
previous conditions of subiectlon to rail-
road mOnopoly-on the map.

obtain favorable facilities OF transportation,
has been permitted, instead of carting his
goods four miles from the foot of Broad
way, to land the merchandise few hun

that, too, has been only on the map.

RICH,s RECORD.
Admitted in San Diego That He Had Eloped
With Mrs. Charlton.

SAN DIEG0, CAL, Jan. IA sensa-
tional story is behind the elopement of
"B. A. Miller and sister" on the steamer
Excelsior. Rich lived in San Diego nine
years ago, and left four years ago for Kan
says. He married eleven years ago and
has three children-all girls. About the
ist of last November his wife died under
suspicious circumstances after an illness
of three weeks. The cause of death was
given as consumption of the bowels. Rich
collected $1,000 insurance Epon her life
Two weeks ago Rich turned UP in this
city accompanied by the handsome and
richly dressed woman who ACCOMPANIED
him to San Francisco. This woman is
Mrs. Ed Charlton, and her husband Is
steward of the State Deaf and Dumb Asy-
lum at Olathe, Kans. Rich knew that the
only living relative of his dead wife lived
in San Diego, but IN spite of that he came
here and the other day ran across his rela-
tive on the street. He was accused of
eloping with Mrs. Charlton, but he denied
it and insisted she was not with him
Later. however, he admitted it and asked
his accuser what she was going to do about
it. However, Mrs. Charlton promptly
dropped out of sight and the couple evi-
IDENTIFY scented trouble, as they took pas
sage on the Excelsior Immediately after
ward and kept their going a secret from
| the landlady of their hotel.
To inquisitive persons who asked who
Mrs. Charlton was, Rich said she was his
housekeeper and caring for his three
daughters. His girls, however, are i'm
Lawrence, while the two boys accompanv-
ing the runaway couple are Mrs. Charl-
tons children; one is Z and the other IL
years DID,
When Rich bought passage for himself
and Mrs. Charlton he told the agent he
had just come up from settlement near
the Mexican line, but he had not been ont
| of the city. He told friend before leay-
ing that he thought some of going TO
South America.
While Rich is not wanted here on any
charge an officer here has been inyestipat-
ing his case and believes that the man will
be called upon to explain his wife's mys-
terlous death. 1t is said that the woman
was ..em balmed, which might remove the
| traces of arsenical poisoning if such there
were, but steps have been taken by the
Kansas authorities to exhume the BODY
and make an examination.
Rlch IS paper-hanger, but is quite
stylish and has good clothes, the proceeds
oil the insurance money. Mrs. Charlton
also dresses styilshly and is handsome.
Rlch is 80, light complexion, feet Z or
inches tall, weighs 100 pounds and good
locking. Mrs. Charlton is rather above
medium height, dark and heavily yelled.
