In the event that any party or parties desire a special train to be ran on extra fast time, at passen- ger train speed, by which we mean that the train shall leave ahead of the passenger train on the same day and not to be overtaken en route by said passen- ger train, we will run such train and charge for the extra service .In addition to the regular charge for freight train service above described, as. follows: From Sacramento to Omaha, Kansas Oity, Council Bluffs . or points usually mado common therewith, excepting St. Paul and Minneapolis, (1,200 per train of not more than , ten cars; from Sacramento to Chicago and points usually made common there- with,includingSt. Paul and Minneapolis, $1,600 per train of not more than ten cars. The maximum load for each of the cars in the fast train to be 22.- 600 pounds, that is to cay.no extra charge for the fact service will be made if the load of none of the cars inthe special train exceeds 22,000 pounds. If any of the cars are loaded so as to exceed 22,000 pounds, an additional charge for the fast service will be made. Idonot give jou what this charge will bs, for the reason that we do not wish to carry cars at this fast time ifloaded in excess of 22,000 pounds. The high rate .of speed will make it dangerous it cars are overloaded. We shall reserve the right to re- fuse to carry them in the special fast train or make an additional charge to compensate for the extra risk. Inthe event that there are more than ten cars in any special train, the charge on each car in excess of tea cars for fast train service will be as follows : To Omaha, Council Bluffs, Kansas City and points com- mon therewith, excepting St. Paul and Minneapolis, $86 per car. To Chicago and points usuillymade common therewith, including St. Paul and Minne- apolis, $100 per car. Inorder to get the fullbenefit of this arrangement yon will see that it will be necessary to make solid trains for each destination. We know, however, that this is likelyto prove im- practicable at times— that it is very probable special trains will be made npof cars for different desti- nations. Inwhich event, where tbe cars aie to radiate in different directions from a common point, say Council Bluffs, the train charge for fast service to Council Bluffs will apply on the cars in said train. If fast time should be required east of Council Bluffs on any of the cars in said train, the lines east (Of Council Bluffs will carry the cars on their passen- ger train at their proportion of the passenger-train rate. . For example, if any such train should include five cars, or less, for Chicago, and fast time should be desired east of Council Bluffs, the roads between Council Bluffs and Chicago would carry those five cars by passenger train at their proportion of pas- senger-train rate, the understanding being that no one road can, under any circumstances, carry more than three loaded fruit cars on one passenger train. If tbe number of cars in such train for Chicago should be fix or more, they would be runepectal, on fast time, and charged for the fast time the same as for a full train of ten cars, in addition to the regular proportion of tbe regular freight-train rate. With respect to rateg to Atlanticseaboard cities, the lines west of Chicago will accept their proportion of a rate of $400 per car, of trainloads of not less than ten cars, provided their proportion shall not be less than $300 per car. This will require a rate of what are known as Trunk lines, running east of Chicago, of $100 per carload from Chicago to New York and other cities. . As yet we have not been able to obtain such a rate, and it is doubtful whether we can do so. I am informed by yon that it is also doubtful whether full trainloads for an Eastern seaboard city can be obtained. If that were possible it is not likelythat the lines east of Chicago would run them on fast time. They probably could not perform the service in lees than forty hours between Chicago and New York. ; , I have asked and.shall endeavor to obtain from all lines east of Chicago a rate :' First, on single cars by ordinary freight train. Second, on single cars by ordinary passenger train —not their fast passenger trains. Third, a ons-hundred-per-car rats, for trainlots of not less than ten cars to any one destination. I have explained fully to you the difficulties in the way -of obtaining any satisfactory rates from the lines east of Chicago. Itis not improbable that we shall fail in that endeavor, and in that event you will have to make your own arrangements for forward- ingfrom Chicago to eastern points/ As I explained to you and Mr. Porter, in every case where all the cara in the special train are not consigned to one consignee at the same destination, the charges for special train service will have to be prepaid, or an agency will have to be established by tbe shippers at the end of the special train run, and the money for that service paid at that point. , I leave to you tbe matter of explaining to those whomyou represent the difficulties we have found in endeavoring to meet the views of the California Iruit-Bhlpperf. Yours truly," \u25a0 J. C. Stubbs. Mb. Blowehs, Agent California Fruit Union, Chi- cago, 111. \u25a0 \u25a0.' \u25a0 ' . It will "be remembered that Mayor Pond, in hie reply to the memorial signed by a large namber of taxpayers, on the enbject of needed public im- provements, said that he regarded the paving of Uarket street with a smooth, noiseless pavement over a concrete bed as one of the most desirable of contemplated improvements, and that he believed the property-owners fronting on that street would be willing to bear one half the expense of the work on that portion of the street lying between the car tracks and the csrb, the railroad companies having already signified" their willingness to repave the portion lyins between their car tracks. The idea has met with the approval of most of the property- owners, and in order that no time shall be lost in bringing about the accomplishment of so desirable an improvement, Sir. F. W. Sharon has caused to be prepared, and is now actively engaged incircu- lating, the following petition: The undersigned, owners or agents of the owners of property on Market street, between East and the MratherlT line of Eighth streets, representing, re- spectively, the frontage of property in feet set op- posite their respective namos, on said street, would respectfully represent to your honorable Board that it would be desirable and advantageous to the public to improve the roadway on Market street, between the points named, with a good, durable and noise- lees pavement constructed on a concrete founda- tion* The advantages of such a pavement on Market street are obvieus and may be summarized as com- binicg comfort and cleanliness to storekeepers and pedestrians, admitting of less liability to accidents, affording easy and rapid transit, accommodating the rapidly Increasing volume ofbusiness by facilitating heavy traffic, saving wear and tear of horses and vehicles, etc., besides making said street a credit to the city and equal in many respects to the finest ave- nnce and thoroughfares of Washington. The undersigned are informed and bslieve that t uch a pavement can be constructed at a cost of not to exceed thirty cents per square foot, and would contist of nine inches of concrete for a foundation, with two inches of Santa Oruz bituminous rock, or, ifdesirable, place stone blocks, hid in cement, of a widthof five feet or less, next the curb. Further, that Bach pavement commends itself to ocr support as combining all the advantages desired durability, elasticity and noleelessness— the bene- fits accruing therefrom far outweighing any consid- eration of the expense to be incurred in substituting this pavement for the present stone block or cob- bles. The stone blocks or cobbles can bs removed and made serviceable in making repairs to other etreeta, and thus the outlay oa the part of the city and county would be partially offset to the extent of their value. The undersigned respectfully state that, as under the law, the street railroads that have franchises on Uarket street, as on other streets, are required to keep the fpaee between their rails, between their tracks, and for a space of two feet on either side of their outer rails in order, and pave said space as di- rected by yonr Honorably Board; that about one naif of the expense would be entailed upon the cor- porations now using said street, the residue of the roadway from the curb-line to a point two feet from tfee outside rail of the railroad tracks nearest the curb being that portion of the street to be improved and kept in order by the city and connty. The undersigned, being desirous of assisting in the iEauguration of public improvements, are willing to eveume such poxtion of the expense as will satisfy your Honorable Board that no personal o * selfish considerations actoate your petitioners, beliering that the actual coet to the city and couuty of matins; this improvement will not exceed the amount it would cost to keep said street Improved in the man- ner heretofore pursued, deducting the .value of the stone blocks. The ondereigned .further represent that tbe esti mated cost per front foot on each side of Market street will not exceed >G, Including crossings; an 1 they hereby stipulate and file with this petition far aaid improvement an agreement by which they bind themselves individually to pay, on cornoletiou o< said improvement, a sum not to exceed $3 on c icb foot of frontage represented by each pauy to said agreement, the amouut of liability of each Dirty to ' be limited to the irontage so represented by the said party, to- wit : Now. therefore, this agreement wltneeseth : That the undersigned owners or agents (duly authorized) of the owners of the property fronting on Market etreet, between East and the southerly line of Eighth rtreet*, herein represented by frontage in feet set opposite our respective names, do hereby stipulate and agree, that when the Board of Supervisors of the cityand county of Ban Francisco shall provide for and cause the roadway of the said Market street be- tween the points named, in said city and county, to be paved with concrete and Santa Oruz bituminous rock, or, ifdesirable, with stones next curbing, as recited in the foregoing petition, on those portions of {said street which are required to be kept im- proved at the public expense, that, in consideration thereof, and upon the acceptance of said work by the said Board of Supervisors, as being fully performed according to the specifications and to the satisfac- tion of the Superintendent of Public Streets, the tm dersigned promise and agree, and separately and in- dividually bind themselves to pay to the Mayor of said city and county, or to any party or parties enti- tled thereto end authorized to collect the same by the said Board of Supervisor?, tbe sum of $3 for each foot of frontage of the property represented by them respectively inthis agreement; and said payment by any one of the parties hereto of the said amount of <3 for each and every foot of frontage owned byor represented by said party to this agreement, shall operate and be a discharge to said party so paying fromany other or further liability hereuuder. The petition has already received a large nam- ber of signatures, and as most of the property- owners have already expressed themselves in favor of the proposed improvement, itis believed that there will be no difficulty in procuring the signa- tures of all interested. If the Supervisors will then give the necessary authority, and there is very little donbt that they will do so, the whole of Market street, or at least so much of it as lies be- tween East and Ninth streets, can be repeved with a smooth, noiseless pavement before the end of next Fall. Daniel McCarthy, keeper of the Record Stables on Market street, has written to the Mayor offer- ing $100 toward a bituminous rock pavejient. * Petition in Circulalion bt Which Owners o!

Fatal Result ;of,the Fallins off tbe Walls. : , .ofaWarebeoie,

Three alarms offire within a space of one b«'fhoar last evening caused considerable excitementamong our citizens. This excitement was height-

ened ina few minutes by the rumor, which rapidlybecame 'current,* that an explosion at 1 Fourth andBerry streets had {caused the "death of twenty peo-ple.

"knocked off work." Fifteen minutes

later the floor commenced to sag and the wallsto expand. At that time a namber of men wereDSBEing along • tho.east side of the warehouse be-tween a train of stationery cars and the

'sheds.

Several of them were unable tomake their escapebefore the fallingmass was upon them. FrederickA.Baddaty, a boy of thirteen years, whose fatheris employed as watchman at the warehouse, was so,badly crashed that he died before reaching the Re-ceiving Hospital.

James p'Leary had his left ankle eevarelywrenched.

Henry Aungst, a erain piler, who was standingon the platform just outside the warehouse, heardthe cracking of

STANFORD UNIVERSITY.

The following letter, written by J. C. Stabbs,General Traffic Manager of\the Southern PacificCompany, to Mr.Blowers, agent ofthe CaliforniaFruit Union ,at•Chicago, and by the latter for-warded to the Fruit Union headquarters in thiscity, is self-explanatory :•;

v Grand Pacific Hotel, May7, 1837./Dear Sir:The verybest arransement Ihave beenable to make for rates and service on deciduousfruits for the ensuing season from California fruitshipping points (by which, we mean fruit-shippingpoints on the roads comprised in the Pacific systemof the Southern Pacific Oompany, whose traffic mat-ters are represented by the undersigned, which doesnot Include ths Vaca Valley and Olear Lake Railroad,Northern Divisionof the S. P. B.E.nor SacramentoValley Bailroad) isas follows:. • .. . gSH

To Omaha, Council Bluffs, Kansas Cityand pointsusually made common therewith, excepting St. Pauland Minneapolis— byordinary freight train, $1 10 per100 pounds; regular passenger train, $2 10 per 100pounds. ToChicago and points usuallymade com-mon therewith, Including St. Paul and Minneapolis—by \u25a0 ordinary freight train, $1 25 per 100 pounds ;by regular passenger train, $2 50 per 100 pounds.

The above rates are'carload rates, and the mini-mum charge willbe for20,000 pounds per carload.

In the event that any party or parties desire aspecial train to be ran on extra fast time, at passen-ger train speed, by which we mean that the trainshall leave ahead of the passenger train on the sameday and not to be overtaken en route bysaid passen-ger train, we will runsuch train and charge for theextra service .Inaddition to the regular charge forfreight train service above described, as. follows:From Sacramento to Omaha, Kansas Oity, CouncilBluffs.or points usually mado common therewith,excepting St. Paul and Minneapolis, (1,200 per trainof not more than ,ten cars; from Sacramento toChicago and points usually made common there-with,includingSt. Paul and Minneapolis, $1,600 pertrain of not more than ten cars. The maximumload foreach of the cars in the fast train to be 22.-600 pounds, that is to cay.no extra charge for thefact service willbe made if the load of none of thecars inthe special train exceeds 22,000 pounds. Ifany of the cars are loaded so as to exceed 22,000pounds, an additional charge for the fast service willbe made. Idonot give jou what this charge willbs,for the reason that we do not wish to carry cars atthis fast time ifloaded in excess of 22,000 pounds.The highrate .of speed willmake it dangerous itcars are overloaded. We shall reserve the right tore-fuse to carry them in the special fast train ormake anadditional charge to compensate for the extra risk.Inthe event that there are more than ten cars in anyspecial train, the charge oneach car inexcess of teacars for fast train service willbe as follows:ToOmaha, Council Bluffs, Kansas City and points com-mon therewith, excepting St. Paul and Minneapolis,$86 per car. ToChicago and points usuillymadecommon therewith, including St. Paul and Minne-apolis, $100 per car. Inorder to get the fullbenefitof this arrangement yon will see that it willbenecessary to make solid trains foreach destination.We know,however, that this is likelyto prove im-practicable at times— that itis very probable specialtrains willbemade npof cars for different desti-nations. Inwhich event, where tbe cars aie to radiatein different directions from a common point, sayCouncil Bluffs, the train charge for fast service toCouncil Bluffs willapplyon the cars insaid train.If fast time should be required east of Council

Bluffson any of the cars in said train, the lines east(Of Council Bluffs willcarry the cars on their passen-ger train at their proportion of the passenger-trainrate. .For example, ifany such train should includefive cars, or less, forChicago, and fast time shouldbe desired east of Council Bluffs, the roads betweenCouncil Bluffs and Chicago would carry those fivecars by passenger train at their proportion of pas-senger-train rate, the understanding being that noone road can, under any circumstances, carry morethan three loaded fruit cars on one passenger train.Iftbe number of cars in such train for Chicagoshould be fixor more, they would be runepectal, onfast time, and charged for the fast time the same asfora fulltrain of ten cars, in addition to the regularproportion of tbe regular freight-train rate.

With respect to rateg to Atlanticseaboard cities, thelines west of Chicago will accept their proportion ofa rate of $400 per car, of trainloads of not less thanten cars, provided their proportion shall not be lessthan $300 per car. This will require a rate of whatare known as Trunk lines, running east of Chicago,of $100 per carload from Chicago to New York andother cities. .As yet we have not been able to obtainsuch a rate, and itis doubtful whether we can do so.Iam informed by yon that itis also doubtful whetherfulltrainloads for an Eastern seaboard city can beobtained. Ifthat were possible itisnot likelythatthe lines east of Chicago would run them on fasttime. They probably could not perform the servicein lees than forty hours between Chicago and NewYork. ; ,Ihave asked and.shall endeavor to obtain fromall

lines east of Chicago a rate :'First,on single cars byordinary freight train.Second, onsingle cars by ordinary passenger train

—not their fast passenger trains.Third,a ons-hundred-per-car rats, for trainlots of

not less than ten cars to any one destination.Ihave explained fullyto you the difficulties in the

way -of obtaining any satisfactory rates from thelines east of Chicago. Itis not improbable that weshall failin that endeavor, and in that event you willhave to make your own arrangements for forward-ingfromChicago to eastern points/

As Iexplained to you and Mr.Porter, in everycase where all the cara in the special train are notconsigned to one consignee at the same destination,the charges forspecial train service willhave to beprepaid, or an agency willhave to be established bytbeshippers at the end of the special trainrun, andthe money for that service paid at that point.,Ileave to you tbe matter of explaining to thosewhomyou represent the difficulties we have found inendeavoring to meet the views of the CaliforniaIruit-Bhlpperf. Yours truly," \u25a0 J. C. Stubbs.

Itwill"be remembered that Mayor Pond, in hiereply to the memorial signed by a large namber oftaxpayers, on the enbject of needed public im-provements, said that he regarded the paving ofUarket street with a smooth, noiseless pavement

over a concrete bed as one of the most desirable ofcontemplated improvements, and that he believedthe property-owners fronting on that street wouldbe willingto bear one half the expense of the workon that portion of the street lyingbetween the cartracks and the csrb, the railroad companies havingalready signified" their willingness to repave theportion lyins between their car tracks. The ideahas met withthe approval of most of the property-owners, and in order that no time shall be lost inbringing about the accomplishment ofso desirablean improvement, Sir. F. W. Sharon has caused tobe prepared, and isnow actively engaged incircu-lating, the followingpetition:

The undersigned, owners oragents of the ownersof property on Market street, between East and theMratherlT line of Eighth streets, representing, re-spectively, the frontage of property in feet set op-posite their respective namos, onsaid street, wouldrespectfully represent to your honorable Board thatitwould be desirable and advantageous to the publicto improve the roadway on Market street, betweenthe points named, with a good, durable and noise-lees pavement constructed on a concrete founda-tion*

The advantages of such a pavement on Marketstreet are obvieus and may be summarized as com-binicg comfort and cleanliness to storekeepers andpedestrians, admittingof less liabilityto accidents,affording easy and rapid transit, accommodating therapidly Increasing volume ofbusiness by facilitatingheavy traffic, saving wear and tear of horses andvehicles, etc., besides making said street a credit tothe cityand equal in many respects to the finest ave-nnce and thoroughfares of Washington.

The undersigned are informed and bslieve thattuch a pavement can be constructed at a cost of notto exceed thirty cents per square foot, and wouldcontist of nine inches of concrete for a foundation,with twoinches of Santa Oruz bituminous rock,or,ifdesirable, place stone blocks, hid in cement, of awidthoffive feet or less, next the curb.

Further, that Bach pavement commends itself toocr support as combining all the advantages desired—

durability,elasticity and noleelessness— the bene-fitsaccruing therefrom far outweighing any consid-eration of the expense to be incurred in substitutingthis pavement for the present stone block or cob-bles. The stone blocks or cobbles can bs removedand made serviceable in making repairs to otheretreeta, and thus the outlay oa the part of the cityand county wouldbe partially offset to the extent oftheir value.

The petition has already received a large nam-ber of signatures, and as most of the property-owners have already expressed themselves in favorof the proposed improvement, itis believed thatthere willbe no difficulty inprocuring the signa-tures of all interested. If the Supervisors willthen give the necessary authority, and there is verylittle donbt that they willdo so, the whole ofMarket street, or at least so much of itas lies be-tween East and Ninth streets, can be repeved witha smooth, noiseless pavement before the end ofnext Fall.

Daniel McCarthy, keeper of the Record Stableson Market street, has written to the Mayor offer-ing $100 toward a bituminous rock pavejient.
