A NEW LINE
ACROSS THE
CONTINENT
Possible Valley Road
Connection.
1T MAY BE THE SALT LAKE

The New Corporation Already
Formed Expects to File It's
Papers in a Few
Weeks.
LOS ANGELES SPOKEN OF AS A
POINT OF CONTACT.

The reticence that enveloped the office
of the San Francisco and San Joaquin
Railway has been dispelled, and now the
officials of that road are willing TO ac-
knowledge that q private corporation
which will build the road over the noun
tains and connect with an Eastern line
Is In process of formation.
Robert Watt, the first vice president OF
the Valley road. said yesterday: Yes, in
q few weeks we hope to see the forma-
ton of n company which will be composed
of local capitalists with the purpose of
constructing a line from Bakersfield to
some point connecting with railroad
which will enable us to have transcon-
tinental continuance. This project seems
to be the logical outcome of the building
of the Valley road. Whether the Eastern
connections will be the Santa Fe line or
not. am not ready to say. There is a
strong likelihood that it will be some
other line. The Salt Lake line which
runs from Salt Lake City to Phoebe is
distant from Los Angeles about 400 miles.
This road may be continued, as in all
probability 1t Will, SO that q junction may
be made with 1t by the Valley road at
Los Angeles
1.-THE new corporation formed for the
purpose OF building this road over the
mountains will be composed entirely of
local capitalists, some OF whom have
large interests in the Valley road. The
expense Of construction of line over
the pass will amount to at least $4,000
600; what 1t would be to Los Angeles |
cannot say. Inc new corporation will
Fe road. but will send it's corps of sur
veyors out as soon as the plans are ma
tured. The construction of this road will,
be very expensive on account of the nat
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1898-09-06

ural difficulties which will stand in the
way of the builders.
1.-The Santa Fe officials have been ap-
preached by our people several times, but
we could not induce them to act. Finally
men of capital came together and they re-
solved to build the road. and unless some
hitch intervenes everything will be In a
fair way toward the contamination of he
plans for the connecting link of another
transcontinental system.
THE Santa Fe is not the only line with
which we may form a junction. From
Salt Lake there is road in process CT
construction with a terminus at Phoebe,
New. / have every reason to believe that
this road will be extended to Los An
geles if we build a line over the pass to
that city. We may make connections
with both the Santa Fe and the Salt Lake
line Parties representing the Salt Lake
Railroad Company have come to us ard
signified their willingness to make a juno
ton with the Valley road at Los Angeles
If we would build a road over the pass:
The new corporation which Will apply
to the Secretary of State for charter
will ask for a franchise to Los Angeles
The significance of this is that the Santa
Fe may not be the line with which the
Eastern connections will be made. At
any rate it gives the Valley road an OPP
ton of one or two Eastern connections
or both, for there is hardly a doubt but
that the San Francisco and San JOAQUIN
Valley Railway may form junction with
the Santa Fe If it so wishes. A dissatis-
faction has been expressed by the Santa
Fe officials concerning their relations with
the Southern Pacific, and 1T. is thought
terms of the Valley road only too will
ingly. But the strongest probability in
regard to Eastern connections looks
toward the junction of the Salt Lake line,
system. At Salt Lake City it joins the
Union Pacific.

Driven temporarily insane by despond-
ency and the excessive use of stimulants.
Thomas Grant made desperate attempt
yesterday afternoon to commit suicide.
He stabbed himself and then jumped into
Islais Creek to make doubly sure of the
job.
Mounted Policeman P. McKenna was
notified about l o'clock that a man had
jumped into Islais Creek, South San
Francisco. When McKenna reached the
place indicated he found Grant founder
ing in the mud. Grant refused to come
ashore, and McKenna did not relish the
idea of wading in the mud after him.
He hit upon the scheme of lassoing him.
and after several attempts, made inef-
fectual by Grants lodging, he succeed
ed in getting the RATA over his Shout
ders and dragging him ashore.
Grant was sent to the Receiving Hos
pital in the patrol wagon, and when his
muddy clothes were removed it was
found that he had stabbed himself sew
two deep cuts over the heart, but not
of sufficient depth to cause serious In
jury. There We're also a number of small
er cuts in the region of the heart, in the
abdomen and on the neck.
After his wounds were dressed Grant
was taken to the insane ward of the hos
was deranged. He declared that he was
tired of life, and would take the first op-
portunity of bringing it to a close.
Grant is about SO years of age. He was
born in Aberdeen, Scotland coming TO
this country with his parents when a
boy. He is a newspaper man, and until
about two weeks ago was editor of the
California Architect and Building News.
Since then he has been on a debauch.
wandering around without any settled
idea.
Il had trouble with the other fellow

severing his connection with the Build

so did l, but he beat me and l had to
quit. I have no home and no friends.
and what is the use of living? My wife

Grant will be taken before the Insanity

A dispatch was received at military
headquarters yesterday from the War
Department designating four companies
of the Eighth California Regiment
for garrison duty at Fort Vancouver,
Washington. Assistant Adjutant Gen.
eral Field at once wired the department
asking that the number Of companies for
Vancouver be increased to six, as 1t would
be inconvenient to properly assign eight
companies for duty in and around San
Francisco. An answer is expected to-
day, and in all probability the request
will be granted. Colonel Henshaw and
Lieutenant Colonel Darlington will go
to Vancouver with the battalion assigned
TO that post. In the event that six COM
panies are sent to Vancouver, the other
six will be assigned as follows: One to
Alcatraz. two to Benicia, and three to
Fort Point.

Seventh California regiments, which task
Danes, will require considerable labor
and time. The men are to be granted
a furlough of thirty days after their ar
rival at the State rendezvous, and they
must report. at the expiration, of their
furlough, unless they have physician S

will be considered as deserters. During

A CRUSHING BLOW
TO MRS. RICHTER
NEWS OF HER HUSBANDS
DEATH PROSTRATES HER.
The Gallant Captain Lies Buried in
the American Cemetery Near
Manila.

In the lonely cemetery of the American
army, near Manila. in the far-off Philip
pines, are buried the remains of Captain
Reinhold Richter of the First Regi-
ment of California, who fell in battle for
his country's cause, and upon a bed of
sorrow in a little cottage at 6 Chatta-
nooga street, in this city, lies his wife,
overcome with grief.
The announcement of Captain Richter s
death in yesterday mornings Call, with
the touching tribute to the gallant sol
der and the pathetic description of the
funeral by Sol n. Sheridan, was the first
positive information that Mrs. Richter
had received of her husbands fate. Up
to this time she had hopes that the
wound which he had received at the bat
tie near Manila would not prove fatal
but she heard nothing as to his condi-
ton. To relieve her anxiety a telegram
of inquiry was sent to Washington on
Saturday and the answer came back
from the adjutant general of the United
autographed on August % a full list OF
officers and men wounded at Manila UP
to that date, and Captain Richter's name
was not among them"
This naturally raised Mrs. Richter S
hopes that her husband was alive, but
her hopes were cruelty blasted in the
news which came yesterday morning. The
blow to Mrs. Richter was crushing one
and completely Frustrated her. All day
yesterday she refused to see any one or
to be comforted in her great grief The
only persons admitted to the house were
a few intimate friends.

DRAGGED TO PRISON.
An Indignity Offered Respectful,
Citizen by Deputy Pound
Keeper.

Ine overbearing actions of another
deputy poundkeeper will be called to the
attention of Judge Mogan this morning
and several citizens will testify against
him.
w. ]. Foster, a barber at 1125 Market
street, owns three fox terrier pups, and
yesterday afternoon he was playing with
them in front Of his shop when William
Robling. deputy poundkeeper. lassoed
the pups. Foster objected, and taking
hold of the net, released the pups and
threw them into his shop.
Robling and another deputy seized
Foster. Robling in the presence of a
number of people produced a pair of hand
cuffs and fastened them on Foster
wrist. He was then driven in the pound
wagon to the City Prison, where a charge
OF interfering with an officer was booked
against him by Robling. He was released
shortly after on 500 cash bail.
Foster attributes the enmity of the
deputies to him from the fact that about
month ago he swore out a warrant for
the arrest of one of their number for
using vulgar language toward him in the
presence of several ladies. The warrant
was a John Doe" one, as he did not
know the name of the deputy, but he has
learned that Tyrrell. who was SO heavily
fined by Judge Mogan Saturday for a
similar offense, was the man.
