Railroad Incorporated.

The Amador RAILROAD Company of
California was Incorporated yester
day, with a capital of 81, $50, 100, of
which s35, 900 has been paid in. The
incorporators are Joseph l.. Scotchler,
Charles b. Mills, John G. Sullivan,
James f. Peck, all of Berkeley; L. N.
Harvey of Oakland and I. Harnes and
Louis A. Berger of San Francisco.
1t is the intention of the capitalists
interested in this enterprise to &C.
quire the lone and Eastern Railroad,
and to build standard gauge line
from the Martell depot eastward and
northward to Bartons, distance of
thirty three miIes.-S.F. Chronicle,
Sept. 30.
Concerning the projected extension,
we have it on excellent authority the
promoters are in earnest about the
matter, and have already taken in
itial steps looking to this movement.
Charles Erickson, we'll known rail
road builder, was up along the pro-
posed route last week, with view of
getting something like an estimate of
the probable cost of the enterprise,
and presenting the same to the COM
pany There are no engineering diff
culties of any consequence to contend
with beyond those usually met with
in mountain rail- oading. The grades
are not severe. The present line is
too short haul, making the operat-
ing expenses heavy. 1t would cost
little more in the way of wages to run
forty miles than it does now with one
third of that distance. And this is
quite an item. The people of the
eastern section will hail with delight
this promise of railroad facilities
being brought to their doors. 1t
means everything for that country,
which has really been losing popu-
lation for the last few years, owing to
the suspension of the lumber industry
and the bringing in of mining sup
plies from outside the county, which
were until late years brought exclus-
lively from the timber region of
Amador. Those identified with the
railroad are men of means, and
abundantly able to furnish the necess-
airy backing to put the road through. |
1t would take all of two years to
build the extension.

SIMPLE, PRIMITIVE TOOLS
1t will not be necessary to buy many of the
tools suggested until after more advanced
work is undertaken. Some of the tools may
be picked up about the house. For example,
a long nail sharpened to a point an awl or
two, old crOquet mallets with the handles cut
off to convenient length, hammer usually
employed for metal work, one end being fiat

One woman who has an inventive mind Of
her own, employs an anvil made out of an Or
binary log of wood, that is sawed off fiat
at one end and made concaye at the other, on
which the metal is rested. This little device
ris held between the knees and makes a very
substantial support.
Just simple little bread board covered
with cloth to prevent the nail from getting
dull and to keep the metal from bending is
a serviceable device. ~
An old kitchen table on which to work is
another important requisite. A pair of metal
shears is necessary, also a wooden rule.
FIRST STEPS FOR THE NOVICE
The simplest article for the novice to be-
gin upon:is a brass candle shade, and for this

WORK UPON THE METALS
First experiment designing On paper so
that the diagram will be symmetrical in all
its details and suitable to the shape of the
shade. Secure the metal to the covered board
by tacks. one in the centre and several along
the sides to keep it firm. Then follow the
design, driving the nail in at close intervals
all the way along. The first tool to use is the
awl or end of pointed nail; hit lightly and
do not drive the nail in too deeply Small
holes are best for all save the outline, where

this purpose. 49,.
i THE FINISHES AND POLISHKS :
After the shade is put together it is ready
to be FURNISHED with, a desirable metal pol

as the old heirlooms have, dip the brass or
copper into vinegar and salt, leaving it there
for several hours and exposing it to the air

RULE AGAINST PLAYERS.
National Baseball Commission Hands
Doun Many Decisions.

The National Baseball Commission held a
long session yesterday in the ST James Building
preparatory to the regular spring meetings Of the
American and National leagues to-day. Most
Of tho time was spent in considering the cases
OF outlaw players. and number OF decisions
were handed down.
The case Of Jimmy sebring, the right fielder
of the Chicago Nationals. who jumped his con-
tract to take the management of the Williams
port Club. of the outlaw Tri-State League. was
regarded as the most important that con-
tidered. The commission decided TO give Sc
bring twenty days in which TO submit defence
of the charge of contract jumping. If he fails
10 do so he will be declared an outlaw. The
Chicago club was informed OF the action taken
Richie. pitcher OF the Holyoke Club, made
personal application TO the commission TO have
set aside his sale TO the Brooklyn club. The ap-
plication proved to be something of a boomer
ang, as the commission decided that he was a
contract jumper and was ineligible to play with
any club under the national agreement
Riesling another pitcher formerly of the
Brooklyns, sought TO be reinstated but the COM
mission decided against him Owens. also at
one tlrne with Brooklyn, had his application for
reinstatement turned down. Otto c. Diemeneer
formerly of the Toledo club got the Same a.
cision.
John F. Hagen. who jumped the Baltimore
cruz 20 play with the York team, appeared per-
sonaIIy 10 urge reinstatement. This was denied
MIN also, hut the commission decided that in
this case there were extenuating circumstances
and he was granted the right TO renew his petit
ton AT the end OF the present season without
prejudice.
The commission imposed a fine of s25 on the
Columbus club of the American association for
violating the rules in selling Brown to the Bos-
ton club while he had been drafted by Cleveland
The fine was imposed in order TO enforce strict
adherence TO the laws OF the agreement
The claim Of the Memphis club against the
Giants for $3.50, the purchase price of Charley
Baob, was disallowed. Babb is now manager of
the Memphis team He was purchased by New
York from Indianapolis.
The regular spring meeting OF the National
League viii begin at the Hotel Victoria to-day
and the American League viii convene at the
Fifth Avenue Hotel. There will also be a meet
ing Of the National Association of Minor League

NEW BELMONT STAKE.
Borough of Queens Handicap to
Open Second Spring Meeting.

Inc Westchester Racing Association has an
hounced new handicap to be run at Belmont
Park on Monday. May g. the first dav of the
second spring meeting. It will be known as the
Borough of Queens Handicap 1t is for three
year-olds and upward. with IS 900 added, at one
mile and a sixteenth. The stake will close on
March 7, the same data as the other fixtures
specially interesting programme will be an
nounced on Memorial Day, May 80. which will
include the Amateur Cup for gentlemen riders
the Whitney Memorial Steeplechase with $4,000
added the Crotona Handicap. for three-year-
olds and upward and the fortieth running of the
Belmont, for three-year- olds, of $4,000
The announcement of this new stake means
that the Metropolitan Handicap at one mile will
be run usual the opening day of the first
spring meeting. The novelty of split spring
meetings at Belmont Park and Gravesend has
already accomplished something in the addition
of one new stake which will be worth close TO
$4,000 The Brooklyn Jockey Club will prob
ably follow suit with another one for its second
opening.
Dates for the spring and summer meetings at
the tracks that make up the Northern circuit
have been announced and cover the period from
May 10 to August 2, with an interim of three or
four weeks. which will be filled in by Kenilworth
The Ontario Jockey Club Will be first in the field
as usual and will race from May 10 to June =
The Hamilton meeting will be a longer one than
usual and will run from June TO 16 Wind
sor begins on the day Of Hamilton's closing and
continues to July T. Fort Erie will race from
July IL TO August %. This Will leave clear dates
from June 10 to July II for Kenilworth, as the
Windsor meeting at Detroit is rather too far
away to be considered a rival of Kenilworth ex-
cept so far as the patronage of the horsemen Is
concerned.
While the dates for Kenilworth have not vet
been announced, it is likely the same schedule s
last year will obtain. This would mean a con-
hict with Hamilton for half dozen days, but
the interests Of either track would not he ma
