HAS PLACED THE BONDS COLONEL JOMES' MISSION AT LAST SUCCEEDS Construction to Bcgiu Soon on tU Slonterej and Fresuo Kfilli oad. If hope didn't aprmg eternal the human or in some other part of man's anatomy Fresnana would have loat faith long ago in the project known ai the Monterey and Fresno railroad. Whenever the memory this nridee cent dream had about faded from the minds of our people its proatine fresh- nesa waa restored by the startling announcement, published in Bome paper, that "OoSonol Jonea bad gone Eaat to make another attempt to place the boids of the Monterey and treano Railroad Company At tho espiration of a month or two Colonel Jones would again wandor wemly weataard with those bonds atill in his maide pocket, and hope would set to ttork springing in ita patient and geiif eel way in the breasta of the people at both ends of th nroposed Jme.

Judging from a dispatch ycaterday'B Cull, however, Colonel Jonea has at last made a trip Eaat that has not proved in vain, for it ia stated therein that the Colonel baa Bucceeded in floating the bonds of the company. Thia ia excellent news if true, anil it is to be hoped that it will be speedily confirmed. Fresnocoaatycsn easily accommodate another railroad, and Colonel Jonea 1 proposed line would contribute no Btuall degree to the development of the coanty The dispatch referred to is aa follows "Word was received here- yesterday from Now lork tbat the bonds of the Monterey and 1'roano Railroad Company had been placed with an eastern syndicate At the regular annual meet ing of the company to beheld in Janu arftho nams ipill by changed and the whole project will be altered materially from the first intention of tho present company The board of directors, however, will remain about the same. "The work of construction IB to commence about March 1st, or juat as aoou ae tae hue can be permanently located torn San Jose to San Juan. The per maiient survey will be altered and will save out Monterey entirely.

The syndicate proposes to run tho road from San Jose down the Santa Clara valley to San Juan, where it will join the line to Holhster ts at present located, thntn-e running through the Panoche pass over tho Coast range to Froano city, making a distance of about 164 milea Whv anch a great change should occur could not be learned, but by Ihoao beatm- ormed it IB aupposed to ba on accoi nt of anticipated trouble with a company formed here lately to try to undermine the present company and procure ita water-front franchise from the city for other purposes. "Colonel Jonea, the president of the railroad company, has mada twenty- threo trips acroas the continent In the past four yeara in the interest of this and haa been in the Eaat eontmu onaly for the past eleven montha trying to place the bonds of the company. He haa begun construction three different times. At the laat attempt he succeeded in getting abont eleven milea of the road graded, but owing to the failure of tho construction company work wag abandoned September a year ago," THE FIRLMEHS BALL.

Mr.

Whiah had alwaya been ambitious to go on the stage aud was in great de mand at the colony entertainments at which he frequently recited. lie waa also something of a musician and spent a good deal of his spare time at the school house organ He finally became tired of the humdrum colony life and decided to go East He worked his passage back to Chicago, whence he had homo to California, and Biibaeqnently went on the stage. Like moat arti a ta he haa had hia upa and downs, but he baa worked hard and ia devoted to hia profession. Mr. Whisb, haa an excellent baaa voice and IB a natural comedian.

Supervisor Letcber made the motion and Sayre seconded it. Clerk Johnaon informed Auditor Barnum of tho board's action, but Mr Barnum has referred the matter to the district attorney for an opinion. Mr. Barnum IB of the opinion that such a transfer cannot be legally made The supervisors of course say it can, and point out that it haa been done beforo They have been feeding the salary fund from the general fund all aloug and hold that if ia perfectly regular tt transfer moneys back to the general ant when neceaeary.

He stated that idiota, Indiana and women were indeed exempt from such a tax and he had no doubt that the neraon addressed waa a Bhming BPBCI men of the first named ciaaa of individ uala waa he wouii have to send an officer to bring him to Treano in order that bia mental comh tion might be inquired into, A few days later the writer of the "funny" letter appeared at the apses Bor's office and introduced himself.

Paddock, drugqist, 1720 JIanpow HE WAS NOT INDICTED fj al "i THE GBAND JURY ON THE 1 TVEIZER CASE. His Accusers Toimed Blaekmailei Seliweizei tt ill Prosecute lliem CiuiiiuaUy, The paragraph in the grand jury'a an attempt at blackmailing baa been made, is a complete exoneration of i 3harlea Schweizer, Hia name is not bnt everybody who has fol- owBd the case knowii that the para- iraph mentioned refera to the attempt Tbe EEPOBLICAIS was the first paper to DUbheh an account of the plot against Mr. and it is the first to pub- his vindication Tho people who mow him were aatoHnded when they icard that he waa charged with having hired a man to ki'l Solomon Lehmann, and would not believe it, and their con- hdonce in him la lustmcd by the report of the grand jury. Mr Sehweizer'aaccufiera-- John Harrison, Demoraia and SamKalBton must told an entirely different alary to the jury from that which they told on the streets, for had one half of what they alleged been found true, the jury could not have failed to indict bchweizor. Though Mr Schweizet's honor la untarnished, a grievous wrong has been done him, and no cannot afford to let tho perpetrators of it escape.

Hia attorney, Mark Walser, stated to a REPUBLICAN reporter last evening that Harrl- Bon, Demoraia and Ralaton would he charged with attempted blackmail They will be proceeded against at once, and the result will show whether a man's character can be blackened with impunity. It ia also the intention of Mr fechweizer to sung a damage against the San Francisco Cull, wb ch virtually him of being the man who shot atLeninann on the night of June 10th last. Sow that the investigation la over Mr. Schweizer feels more at liberty to talk. Ho of course denounces his accusers and utea circumstances ahow how absurd the charge agamat h-rn waa.

Tha very night Lehmann waa shot at Schwewer waa in his Btors with Wickersham and others Horaea in which he and Mr. Wickeraham were interested were running at San Jose and they were eagerly watting to hear hotr the animals bad acquitted themselves. No one thought "Mr Schweiaer acted otherwise than natural The attempt to saddle the crime on dead man John Barter-- IB also condemned the severest terms It was stated, it will be remembered, that Barker had been hired by Schweizer to 1. i do the shooting, Ihe fact IB Suhweizer never mot Barker nntil about two 73 montha after the attempt on Lehi toann's life, when he was introduced to him in the presence of Constable 3 Slmw anu Roy Martin. Barker un- i donbtedly had hia faults, but he was 1 not a man to play the role of hired aa- 1 sassm and no ono who knows him be- i lieves the defamatory statements that i have been made against him.

Everybody hopea that the men who were concerned the infamoua scheme 1 to blast the reputation of a citizen who 1 had alwayn enjoyed the esteem hia fellow citizsns ill be speedily brought to justice, and if the recommendation of the grand jury IB carried out it will not ha long before the raaeala are behind the 1 bare. ROADS AND STREETS. Some Suggestions to the New Board of Supervisors. EDITOR RpponiicA-f --It haa been the custom this city and county when a road or street wae plowed up and graded to wait nntil the raina were over and the favored ones who do the work had got through with their winter plowing and had nothing else to do but to work -J on tho highways Aa loose, dry dirt will not pack, the consequence haa been 1 that we have had, in such cases, dubt knee deep all Bummer long, and the roada and streets so worked npon have been far worse condition than if they had been let alone. Is it not titne to stop thia fooJish business and make our roads when tna dirt IB wet or at leaat moist, BO aa to pack solidly and thus ua good roids aud streets? We hope that our new supervisors will go at the making ol new roada and the repairing of old ones at once, EO that we have good solid roadways through the summer, instead of looao dirt and dust Much more uas could also be advantageously made oE the wagon ECraper.

Br going over tho ronde with that afler a ram, when the ground haa become partly dry, only retaining moisture enough to pack well, the chuck-holea jfetfj will be kept protty well filled up aud the ground dries a tolerablyBtnoothrbad meured, Wo have not been very favorably impressed with the sample we have bad of "pcientinc" road making Our people will be far better pleased with a common sense and honesty in the making ol our roads and streets than with, the exhibition of "science" lately givea us, RASCHMAN, Fresno, December 31, 1896.
