in fearful manner. They then
decamped. All this for two or

Mr.. J. J. Romero, who got home
from trip to the country on
Wednesday, reports that he and
Anastasio Rubio were overtaken
by Alfredo Carrillo and Tax Col
lector Hamilton, with both of
whom he is well acquainted, on
the Rincon road, the other side of
the Santa Ana river, on Sunday,
the let inst, the day after Hamil-
TOMS flight. He asked Carrillo
where ne was going and he replied
| to Santa Ana. Carrillo and Ham,
iltOn after while drove off towards

Yesterday morning, about half
past eight O'Clock, as Mr.. Jesse
Yarnell, accompanied by Miss
Katie Caystile, was driving up
Also street towards Alameda, the
switch engine of the S. P. II. r.
came along, drawing train of
empty cars. Mr.. Yarnelrs horse,
frightened at the locom otive, turn
ed around and started down Aliso
street. Mr.. Yarnell turned round
and again approached the track,
when the animal gave sudden
turn to one side, overturning the
vehicle, throwing the occupants on
to the track in front of the ap.
preaching engine. A crowd of by
ISLANDERS who witnessed the acci-
dent rushed to the spot. The train,
which, fortunately, was not under
much headway, was brought to a
stop, and the horse, having fallen
down, was secured before he could
do any further damage. Miss Gays
tile, who had fallen upon her left
side, was terribly bruised and suf-
fered a fracture of the left hip. Mr..
Yarnell was not much hurt.
An enterprislng young gentle
man named Marcus Jones, who re-
sides near the Plaza, yesterday
tried some experiments in pyro-
technics which will doubtless satis-
fy him for some time to come. He
undertook to bore out the contents
of cartridge with pen-knife, de-
string to use tie copper cone as a
head for his cane. AS result, the
index finger and thumb of his left
hand and the thumb of his right
hand were very severely mutilated,
the damage extending to one of his
eyes, which was badly burned by
the explosion. In explanation of
the casualty he stated that he had
previously soaked the cartridge in
water, thinking that would neu-
tralize its explosive tendency. As
the explosive ingredient in cart
ridges is Illuminating mercury the
accident would have happened If
he had done the boring even while
holding it under water. Mr.. Jones's
sad mishap will doubtless make
others more cautious as to the
methods by which they seek to or
namenttheir canes.
