a highly interesting and instructive lecture
on the subject of temperance at the Granite
church Yesterday afternoon, commencing at

The attendance was very fair, considering the
bad state of the sidewalks. Rev. Mr.. White

HIS LAST RIDE.
mccarthy. Railway Brakeman, Killed
by Street Car.

A very sad accident occurred on Austin
street near 10th street this morning at about
o'clock. in which young railroad brakeman
named McCarty, was injured so badly that he
died while being taken to the Santa Rosa hos
pital A cOrOners jury was empannelled by
Justice McAllister and the testimony of sew
eral witnesses were taken. They stated that
street car, No. 30, Conductor J. +. Fairbaut,
was coming toward the curve at a moderate
rate of speed. The conductor WAS driving as
well as collecting fares. He had stepped
inside the car to collect the fare from couple
of men who got on, and thrown the reins over
the brake handle. There was no one on the
side to collect the fares. While inside, the car
jOlted and left the track and the conductor
ran out and stopped the car and then found
the body of a man under the front wheels.
Thecar was lifted Off him and he was tenderly
raised and placed in the car. He was found to
be unable to speak and 1t was decided to take
him to the Santa Rosa hospital, as he seemed
very much injured. Accordingly the car
started and had reached the little curve on
San Saba street, within 100 yards of the hos
pital, when the poor fellow expired. He was
recognized by officer Ballou, Of the Washing
ton saloon, as being a railway brakeman
named McCarty who had been in this saloon
several times lately. He was employed until
last week as a brakeman on the Arkansas Pass
railway, but had been discharged last week
and began drinking, and 1t is supposed he was
only partially sober at the time OF the acct
dent this morning. He was young man, ap-
parently about "a years Of age, and his friends
say he has two brothers who are employed on
railroads in this section. Deceased was Yer
mOnter in which state he has other relatives
The jury, after listening to the above testi-
mony, adjourned until this afternoon at 3
o'clock, when other evidence will be adduced.
His brother took charge of the remains.
