How . Young I.ady's Foot Blocked .
Railroad,

A young lady took . car which
brought her to the foot OF California
street, and there took q seat on the dunn
my car, which bore her to the vicinity
Of her home on Octavis street As abe
left the car and was crossing the track
on the southern side, her foot slipped
and turned and was caught fast in the
track where the wire cable passes. Some
imperfection in the rosdbed had caused
the narrow aperture to expand, and the
young girls narrow foot was intrappcd.
The engineer of the east-bound dummy
saw the obstacle on the road in season
to check his swift-spproaching car, and
alighted with the conductor and several
passengers OF inves ugating mind, who
endeavored to release the slender foot,
but their efforts were vain. Another
car and another brought up in funeral
row, and constant re-enforcements In
the way of passing pedestrians cheered
and enGvened the scene. An attempt WAS
made to pry the iron rails forming the
cable channel further apart, but they
firmly resisted all efforts. Everybody
had suggestion: Push your foot
forward )" "Puil it back )" Tip it
sideways" "Lift your heel higher"
The unhappy girl was almost iainting,
but she persevered III her efforts to ex.
tricats the offending member. BY this
time travel OH the road had virtually
ceased. The last car had long ago
passed. and was steadily approaching to
fall into line at the rear OF the singular
PROCESSION. Dnwii-tnwr passengers FRET
ted and famed, or slswly climbed the
hill in disgust. On every street corner
groups OF waiting people berated tho
laxity OF street-car management. Re-
porters from all the downtown dailies
were proceeding westward to learn the
meaning OF the large crowd reported to
have assembled i'll the Western addition
From the scene of tine accident ENJOYS
had been dispatched to the railroad
shops to bring Appliances for taking up
Q section of the road. At this juncturo
tall, brawny Englishman, in the dress
Of q mechanic, forced his way through
the throng, and, in CHEEKY voice,
marked yths Derby shire dialect, asked:
