incoming Northern Pacific coast train
The sleeper Sycamore, carrying TWEEN
ty-eight members of the Connecticut
delegation, in charge of NJ. H. Kane
came through, the members not having,
time to make the detour to the yell
lowstone National Park. The sleeper
left for the East via the Omaha last
night. Both the transcontinental lines
are making preparations for the recep-
ton in st. Paul of the long list of En-
deaVorers which must pass through
here en- route for their homes. The
New Jersey delegation, in charge Of T.
E. Davies, which left the Park yester-
day, will reach here at 8:35 tomorrow
morning. The st. Louis people will
come as far as Minneapolis in charge
of w. H. McClain on the 23rd, early
in the morning.

Massachusetts, H. N. Lathrop, $50 a.
M, Sunday, Aug. 1.
This. business, which comes in most
ly on the Northern Pacific, owing to
the fact that the trip included a five
or six days visit to the Yellowstone
Park, will be divided up here and at
Minneapolis, where the various Chicago
lines, according to the hustling quail
ties of their travelling passenger agents
in San Francisco, will take their shares
The Omaha will take number of them
to Chicago, while in one bunch some
400 will go down over the Milwaukee.
The other lines will have plenty too,
and in some cases an extra train or
two may be found necessary.

could be arrived at better after plans
and the approximate cost of the i'm
da oHs secured a NV Not unfit fh{a Soaid
the company say what it would or
would not do in the matter. He sug-
gested that the council direct the city
engineer to prepare plans and esti-
mates in order that the cost could be
determined. This would be much bet
ter than to rush ahead and pass an
ordinance which as a business PROPOSE
ton could not be accepted. The COM
pany would willingly operate a depot
loop line, but not in the manner as
provided in the aldermanlc ordinance.
All cars necessary would be operated,
but not all the lines mentioned in the
ordinance. In place of the Thompson
depot loop, Mr.. Goodrich suggested an
Independent line starting from Fifth
and Robert streets on Robert to
Third; on Third to Sibley; on Siblcy
to Fifth; on Fifth to Robert; on Robert
to Eighth; on Eighth to Wabasha; on
Wapasna to Fifth, to place of begin
ming. In answer to a direct question
by Mr.. Kirke as to the acceptance Of
the present ordinance, Mr.. Goodrich
said the company would not accept it.
The depot loop was not acceptable,
neither was the Broadway loop, but the
stumbling block was the proposed
change on Selby avenue hill, and Oil
this really depended the entire PROPOSE
ton. He was not prepared to say, but
thought off hand the company would
be willing to spend about 900 in
either constructing viaduct or tun-
mel. Nothing definite, however, could
| be said until after figures had been
made on the cost Of the change on
Selby avenue. If the amount the COM
pany would have to stand was too
large, then the line would have to be
fixed up and operated as it was now.
In answer to the statement that the
company had refused all propositions
from the city and had never made one,
Mr.. Goodrich said this was not correct.
The company stood ready at once to
accept the Shepard ordinance, or would
run line up Third street
through the park and on Nelson and
harrington avenues. Corporation At
torney Markham interrupted to say
that the company should be made to
put the Selby avenue line in good
shape. He for one was in favor of
not allowing the change to be made
from a cable to an electric, for the
reason that it would, under all cir
cumstances, be better for the people
to stick to the cable, providing it was
operated with reasonable and good
service.
Mr.. Arosin inquired if the ordinance
was passed and the company, as had
been stated, should refuse to accept it,
would. proposition be sent to the
council by the street railway officials?
To this Mr.. Goodrich said the COM
pany could not make any definite prop
osition until the cost Of the proposed
Improvement on Selby avenue hill was
determined. After that had been ar
rived at, the company would send in O.
proposition touching all the matters al.
luded to in the ordinance. After some
discussion it was decided by the COM
naittee to recommend the ordinance as
amended to pass, and a special meet
ing of the assembly will be held this
evening at 1880 for that purpose. The
ordinance as amended will then go
Immediately after to the aldermen for

A frightened horse belonging to Ru-

nue., created a scene of excitement or
the Robert street bridge at o'clock
last evening by trying, in the course
Of a runaway fight, to jump over the

and Officer Zacher managed to fore
stall the equine's high driving feat
by catching the bride as the animal
reared to his hind legs for the plunge
into space. The horse ran away from
Fifth and Cedar streets, where it had
been left for moment by it's owner.
In turning the corner of Robert street
a collision with a telegraph pole tore
one of the hind wheels from the wagon,
but the horse continued at break-nech
speed toward the bridge, scattering pc
destrians right and left. AS the horse
ran out on the bridge, the approach
of a street car from the opposite Gi-
rection caused him to swerve onto the
foot walk. A short run on the walk
bewildered the horse, which made one
vain leap at the railing before he was
caught by the policeman.

Brilliant Production of an
Original Drama in the
Cpen Air.
GreCian Romance Given Life In a
Picturesque Mountain
Canyon.

SONOMA, CAL, Oct. 9.-The vintage
festival OF the Vale OF Pansies, a beauti-
tul spot IN the open air on Rhine farm,
the estate of the Gundlach, Dressei and
bundschu families, took place tonight
and is thing of the past. The enter
tainment. which was of a classical ma
ture. was excelently rendered. The
feature of the evening was the production
OF Grecian drama written by Benjamin
Weed, principal actor in the rendition
and principal of the Sonoma High School,
In the play goatherd is in love with &
vintager's daughter. The young lady in
forms her ardent sui;or that she cannot
marry him because of the failure OF crops
for three years past. An appeal is then
made to Bacchus the god of wine, who
promises to do all in his power to help the
young people.
the role of the goatherd was assumed
by Mr.. Weed, and Mis-, Eva Gundlach i'm.
personated the yintager's daughter
Following the scene in which Bacchus
pledges his aid comes one where other
goatherds appear and discuss the actions
of the lover and guess why he has been
negiecting his herds. In the hills and on
large rocks to the rear are nymphs, and
one of the most beautiful features of the
enter ainment IS their singing when they
promise TO assist the lovers. Back OF
them blue and red lights burn.
the lovers wait in anxiety for the
vintage season TO come, and many tim es
meet and discuss their love affairs. The
drama ends with the ripening of a boun.
teous crop OF grapes. When the time for
testing the grapes comes, a beautifully
decorated wagon trimmed with grapes
and vines is drawn by many vintagers
ard the trees and surrounding hills are
brilliantly illuminated by many colored
lights.
Fifteen vintagers took part in this act,
and their chorus songs were very pleasing
The Vale OF Pansies is the most pictur-
esque spot in the Sonoma Valley. 1t is
situated a short distance north OF the
mansion OF Carl Dressed. 1t is small
canyon running north and south
and on both sides are densely wooded
noun tains forming an excellent back
ground for the play. The night was per-
feet and Llna's rays Illuminated the
valley.
After the production of the drama the
200 guests partook of refre hmcnts.
