A terrible accident occurred yesterday
afternoon at about half.pasttwo O'Clock,
at the Redington Mining Company's
works at Knoxville, by whioh An en-
ployes Of the company. Thomas Finn,
was instantly killed. Finn Wa what Ia
known a. stationary man. tending the
operations OF the cage that runs up and
down the main shalt, hoistipg up and
down men, caAs, etc. His station was
at the l5O.foot lsvel, and the shaft GO
ing on down still below him $50 feet, or
to q depth altogether Of $50 feet rom
the surface. His duties were 10 stand
at the shaft and signal the engineer
above by bells, and also 10 put on TO the
cage OF the proper times the successive
cars OF ore as they were drawn out 10
him by tho miners for hosting TO the
surface above. The accident occurred
by one OF those strange mistakes that
men make sometimes Of supposing that
q certain state OF things exist whom they
have every facility Of knowing that Il
docs not. Finn thought that the cage
WINS there ready 10 receive o car, and
pushing o carload OF ore out over the
shaft, went down with Il to instant
death, 100 feet below. Finn was .
steady man and much liked. He used 10
work for ]. B. Saul, nea town here.
and about ten months age went up 10
work at Knoxville, though he had been
filing the position in which he met his
death but about q month.-Napa Regis-

named John Eggsr. q native Of Switzer-
land. aged II years. The man was alive
when brought to town, but died shortly
after being taken to the undsrtsker's

was on his way to this city to draw the
State money for the expenses Of the trip
to Woodbridge, found himself needing
sleep, and retired to q berth on the train,
leaving the insane man in charge
Of q passenger. II appears that Of tho
station between Clark's and Reno he
eludsd the vigilance Of his keeper and
got of the train. The Sheriff was APP
prised Of his prisoners absence and was
advised by the conductor TO 60 on to
Reno and take tho Eastern bound train,
90 as to meet the deceased. He did 30,
and q sharp lookout was kept by the
engineer and conductor. Tho engineer
saw the poor fellow on the track and
Stacked up the locomotive, but when
within n few feet Of him he appeared to

c~ow-catcher struck him. He was taken
on board the train and carried back to
Reno. When struck, he said: al guess
this is the last OF me-" Mr.. Bellruds
brought the man into Carson, as in duty
bound 10. Egger must have been struck

Extraordinary Incident

On last Saturday night q fatal acci-
dent occurred on the San Jose Railroad,
three miles below San Mateo. Edward
Seaman. son Of Jeremiah Scanlsp, Of
Petaluma. fell from the freight train,
vas run over and instantly crushed 10
death. No ono saw him fall. He was
last see alive at the depot when the
freight train left that place al 9:30 p. n.
A pointer dog. from the hotel where
Seaman had been stopping, followed
him on board the cars. On Sunday
morning, between 6 and Z o'clock, the
dog was noticed at the hotel. acting In Q
manner 30 unusual that Il attracted at
tsntion. II would 60 from the house
toward the railroad track, then Lie down
and whine piteously. This wa several
times repeated. A man, whose name
We did not hear. was satisfied that some
thing moro than ordinary caused this
singular action, and determined TO solve
the mystery. The dog started for the
track. and along the track. the man
following. Now and then the dog
would lie down and whine a. at
first, and then GO on. In this nan
nsr man and dog travelled along the road
for three miles, when they came upon
the crushed and almost severed body OF
Edward Seaman. lying across the rail.
Tho dog laid down by the body. and
whom Il was removed he kept ~ close to
it,as possible. The body was placed In
a coffin, and the coffin boxed for ship
ment to Pstaluma for burial. Tho dog
took u position on top Of the box and
could not DO induced to leave IL. On
