A NEW RAILROAD.
Mayor Carlson Believes in One From
Salt Lake to Los Angeles.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. Mayor
William Carlson of San Diego, who has
been visiting friends in this city for
several days, thinks that Southern Cal
ifornia and Salt Lake City will soon
be connected by a railroad. He be-
iteves that the Nevada Southern road,
which runs from a point on the At
lantic and Pacific northeast twenty-si
miles to Marvel, will be allink in the
proposed Salt Lake and Los Angeles
Railroad. He said:
"A railroad is already in operation
from Salt Lake City southwest to Fris-
co, Utah. From the latter point to
Marvel the distance is 250 miles, and
Of this distance 100 miles have already
been graded. 1t will not take over So
100000 TO connect Frisco and Marvel.
My fight with the opposition stockhold-
ers in the Nevada Southern Railroad
is not settled yet, but the recent de-
cision of the Supreme Court in favor
of President A. w. Forter of the Dono-
hue Railroad, in which it decided that
for a certain purpose holders of stock
must be bona fide owners of the same,
makes me feel very sure of winning my
case"

LIVELY FREE FIGHT.
Sailors on the British Ship Elliott
Mis Up Things.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. There
was a lively free fight this afternoon
aboard the British ship Elliott at Green
street wharf As a result, one of the
combatants is now in the Receiving
Hospital and another occupies a cell
in the Harbor Police Station
For several days the crew of the yes
sci have been asking to be paid off
The captain, however, intends to keep
his men, if possible, and has refused
to let them go. The sailors, therefore,
he says, seize on every opportunity to
make a disturbance with the hope that
he will release them from their con-
tract. To-day Frank Robinson, a ring
leader among them, complained about
the quality of the bread that was being
given them to eat, and he went into the
galley to carry on the discussion with
James Williams, the cook.
The latter functionary is an old-fash-
ioned Barbadoes negro chef and prides
himself on the excellence of his kitchen.
Robinson threw a loaf of bread at his
head which hit his opponent in the
face. The two men then mixed up and
in the struggle a pan of vegeta BILE
soup was upset down the white man S
neck. Ten other members of the crew
rushed into the galley and began to
play football with Williams. They hic
him with every available object
smashed his plates and broke up all
the gridirons in the galley. The cap
tain then hailed Officer Campian, who
arrested both Robinson and Williams.
The former was sent to the Receivine
Hospital 10 have his sca1ded back and
head dressed

STEAMER NATCHEZ.
Meets With a Serious Accident Be-
low Vicksburg.

VICKSBURG (Miss), Feb. THE
steamer Natchez met with a serious
accident at ) o'clock this morning, twen-
ty miles below this city. Captain
Leathers and First Clerk Morris reached
this city at 10 O'Clock in a buggy from
the scene of the accident.
Captain Leathers states that while
making landing the boat struck the
bank. The great chimneys and stacks
and rigging all went down with a crash.
One stack went overheard and is under
the boat. One of the chimneys fell di-
rectly across the Captains room, in
which he and his wife We're sitting. but
fortunately did not crash in the room,
as the bulkheads were double thickness.
The other stack struck one corner of the
pilot house and crashed in through the
decks. The shock opened many of the
forward butts, but struck no timbers as
far as could be seen, but caused the hull
to take considerable water. The tug
Joe Seay went down this evening with
barge to bring up the freight. The
NatcheZ will return to New Orleans and
be docked for repairs.
