FATAL ACCIDENT AT PENRYN.-At an
early hour Thursday evening, as locomo-
tive was returning to Rocklin from the hill,
without 4 train, it struck q wagon and
double team that were crossing the track
despite the fact that the engine had whis-
tied for the station at the usual point, and
her bell was ringing. The engineer did not
see the vehicle until it was too late to stop.
The wagon was occupied by Pierre Servain,
farmer of that vicinity-who had been
attending the trial of case in which he
was interested, in Justices Court in Pen.
ryn-his wife and child and friend named
|. Baptiste. Servain was so badly injured
that he died shortly afterwards Baptiste
was severely bruised about the head and
the other occupants of the vehicle were
| tritiingly hurt. One of the horses of the
team was killed, and the wagon democrat
| lied. Coroner's inquest was held in the
case of Servain yesterday by Justice Camp
| bell, and the jury found that deceased came
| to his death through his own carelessness,
hand that the railroad company was not to
blame.

| SACRAMENTO AND YoLo BRIDGE-It is
deemed necessary to do some pile-driving
to strengthen the draw pier of the Sacra-
mento and Yolo bridge, and pile-driver
| has been put in position to perform the
| work. 1t will be done mostly at night, so
as to interfere with travel as little as posi-
| BILE. The draw will be opened this evening
after the arrival of the o'clock train, and
will remain open until o'clock tomorrow
morning. 1t will also be open tomorrow
night during the same hours, and possibly
Monday night. Residents of Washington,

| ing Washington an evening visit, will do
well to bear the fact in mind.
