Fires, Explosions, Collisions and D Host
of Other Accidents.
Scarcely less appalling than the list of
elemental casualties is that of the accidents
of 1887, that may be attributed almost
wholly to the carelessness of man, the
greatest sufferer. The year that is passed
will go down in history marked with the
shameful record of Chatsworth, Kouts,
the Tin Bridge and the Woodstock acci-
dents. The worst feature of alEthese ac-
cidents was the dreadful car stove. With
out this terrible relic of the primitive in
railroadinS in our trains, few, if any, of
the more horrible features of these acct
dents would have had to be recorded, and
il IS gratifying to be able to record the
fact that during the past summer many
Of the best American railroads were very
busy ut the work of experimenting with
steam heating of railroad trains, and this
winter not few cars arc kept warm with
steam supplied direct from the boiler of
the locomotive
Not less horrible than the railroad acci-
dents Of 1887, however, were the theatre
disasters, and America may congratulate
herself that none of the greatest of these
calamitieS took place on her soil. France
and England were the sufferers. The
problem of safe theatre building has long
been known to be an intricate one, but it
would seem that only o few more such
appalling catastrophes as the burning of
tho Opera Comique in Paris and the
Theatre Royal in Exeter would be needed
to stimulate some ingenious architect to
It's complete solution.
An accident Of n quite different sort
and more terrible in Its possibilities, for
tunately not realized in this case, was the
explosion of escaped naphtha under four
miles of the streets of Rochester, n. Y;
and the possibilities in this case will come
home to all dwellers in cities, who inves-
tigste the amount of infiammable material
that is carried under their streets and
homes and places Of doing business.

CLINTON, Miss, April 27.-Tne reportof an
outrage committed on Sunday night has just
been received. The promise Of ~, edy death
prevented the party from making it known
sooner. At about midnight eleven masked
men went to the house of Eli Young, a wit
ness for the defense In the Hamilton case,
called him out, tied him wi h q rope and then
severely whipped him. He was told that he
was whipped for lying about Roierirk Gam
brell. Presenting pistols TO his head they de
manded to know what amount he was paid
for testifying against Gambrell. With d, ath
staring him In the face he declared that he
did not receive a cent. The mob then re-
leased him and ordered him to leave ,hs
country within three DAYS. Young recognized
one OF his assailants as u divinity student ut a
Mississippi college.

"A Bau Wreck.

LISCoLs, april 27.-Just after o O'CLOCK
this morning, at IA point two and a half miles
west OF Alma, the Kansas City cannon ball
train struck a weakened bridge. The engine
went across all right. but the tender, baggage
car and mail car went down. The wreck
caught fire aud these cars were burned. The
msil and express matter was saved. Two
passenger coaches and one Pullman left the
track, one Pullman remaining on. l.. A.
Towne, Of Grand Rapids Michigan, was
killed, and five others were injured, more or
less seriously, the conductor, among them.
Charles Eaton, of this city, travelling for a
Kansas City house, il among the injured.
Mrs. Eaton has gone to the scene. The
wounded are being cared for by the company
AZ Orleans. The cause Of the a~cciaelt was
the weakening Of the bridge by heavy rains.
The roadbed was oonstrd,ted ten years ago
and this is the first trouble In that neishbor-
hood from water. The train was on time,
running at the usual rate of speed, or the
accident would have been worse.

trial, after which the court review ed the evi

was an akward silence throughout the court
room, which was finally broken as the Judge
began TO read the sentence, which he pre-
faced by the statement that the jury had
erred in their verdict according 10 the law
and evidence, in ac ordance with which they
should have found a verdict Of murder in the

prisoner, giving the extreme limit allowed by
law: That he be confined in the pcnitentiary

Southern California, which is but little
Better than a desert, il getting n wonder
ful benefit from the brains and energy re-
Gently borrowed into her territory.
Necessity is no less the mother of invcn-
tion now than Of yore. and the people
who nave rome out there must and will
live. Men can live in colder and in hot
tar places than can any other animal.
They have, for fun, remained in ovens
while beef baked and for glory they pass
beyond the polar bear in the regions OF
everlasting ice. TO get water in southern
California, TO live where the sage brush
cannot grow, there has just been com
pleted in a canyon a dam 90 feet high,
built in n curve with its conve side up
stream, its TANKS abutting against the
rocky walls Of the pass, which is about
200 feet wide. The dam is constructed
Of heavy blocks of granite and is practic-
ally an arch bracing itself against the
water il sustains.
The capacity Of the lake thus formed
is 40, 600. 900, 600 gallons. Before the dam
was built this water was allowed to flow
In winter torrents to the sea. 1t is now
capable OF irrigating so, 600 acres of land

1t is said that more than twenty wheat
laden ships are now lying in San Fran
cisco bay ready to go to sea, but unable
TO procure crews. The chief reason given
is the immense growth of the coasting
trade thai has absorbed all the sailors,
because coasters pay higher wages. The
lumber traffic alone between Puget sound
ports and San Diego has taken every
eoasting vessel that could be chartered,
and still the supply of lumber has been
insufficient to meet the demands of the
rapidly growing cities in San Diego and
Los Angeles counties.
