Another Fatal Result of
Reckless Driving.
OPPOSITION TO THE CHARTER.
Anti-Chinese Clubs and Democratic
Rallies-MinOr Crimes and
Criminals.

The succession of serious accidents
which have taken place of late through
careless driving eliminated last Sunday
in the fatal injuring OF child, and the
issuing yesterday of a warrant for the
arrest of the driver who was the cause.
E. M. Hickey, who resides at 23S South
Alameda street, took his little 10-year. old
son Tom out riding with him last Sun
day afternoon. They were driving down
Seventh street toward Alameda when
Mr.. Hickey noticed an acquaintance in a
window and reined up suddenly to speak
to her. The vehicle which he and his
son were occupying was low two
wheeled cart. At that instant man by
the name of Michael Young, so
Mr.. Hickey states, drove up from
behind at rapid rate in a
two wheeled surrey and crashed into the
cart. The little boy was flung out
over the low dash board under the
horses feet. Before his father could
come to his assistance and draw him from
his perilous position the unfortunate
boys head was crushed under the iron
heels. The driver who had done the
mischief never stopped but went on at
the same reckless rate. All day yester-
day the half crazed father was searching
with a deputy constable for the man,
hourly expecting his child to die as he
lies in eomatose condition from which
the doctors say he cannot rally. When
Michael Young is arrested. if he is the
guilty man, he will be charged, wher
the boy dies, with his murder.

ATTEMPTED ESCAPE.
Thomas Kelly Makes a Break fol
Liberty.

Thomas Kelly Makes a Break for
Liberty.
Thomas Kelly, James Sweeney and
James Wilson, who are supposed to
have done good deal of the holding-up
which was accomplished on the streets a
few weeks ago, were examined before
Justice Austin yesterday afternoon, and
held to answer on the charge of robbery,
on bail of 81 800 each. While their COM
mitment to the County Jail was being
made out, there happening to be at that
time no officer in the court, Kelly left
the dock and walked over to the water
cooler for drink. No one was watch
ing, and he succeeded in making his
way to the door unobserved. He hurried
down the stairs into the street, where he
was met by Deputy Constable Roberts,
who instantly recognized him, and asked
him to give an account of himself. The
man started to run, and Roberts grabbed
him by the collar. At this instant Jailer
Bedford, from the police station,
for some reason took it into his head that
Roberts ought to be restrained and
caught him around the body pinning his
arms. Kelly thus freed ran across the
street: Roberts explained the situation
to Bedford and started in pursuit over
taking the alleged robber at the corner
OF Spring street. He was taken to the
county jail.

A Hack wrecked.

AS J. W. Goodman was driving his
hack up Main street about $3.50 O'Clock
last night he saw approaching in the dis
tance surrey driven by two men who
their way but they turned also, and the
result was collision that completely
wrecked Goodman's vehicle. He sprang
at the horse in the surrey and commanded
its drivers to stop, whereupon one
struck him over the head with whip
and the other produced gun and or
dered Goodman to let 90. This he nat
urally did under the circumstances and
then they drove off at rapid rate and
soon disappeared in the darkness. Good
man pursued them for some distance but
could not overtake them and SO he set
out for the police station, where he
lodged information against the offenders.

An Anti.Chinese club.

An Anti-Chinese Democratic Club was
formed last evening at the corner OF Rose
and Davis streets, in the Fourth Ward,
Mr.. T. Mccarthy in the chair. The hall
was filled to its utmost capacity with the
residents of that locality, and quite
number of ladies were present and took
an interest in the proceedings. The
speakers of the evening were Mr.. w. w.
Fisher, Colonel o. H. Violet, Judge Ling
and Mr.. A. R. Sheet, all of whom ably
discussed the questions of the day. Their
remarks were enthusiastically received,
and the audience, upon the conclusion of
the meeting, dispersed with three cheers
for the ticket. This club has received a
good start, and will rapidly forge to the
front.

Labor Conference.

The Labor Conference met on Sunday
last and decided to present to the people
the following reasons why they think the
proposed Charter should not be adopted /:
First. By reducing the number of
Councilmen from Is to 8, it means CEN
tralizatien Of power.
Second. IT gives the Council the power
to compel 'workingmen and women to
pay license to earn their daily bread.
Third. 1t also empowers the Council
to elect executive officers that should be
elected by the people.
Fourth. 1t surrenders all the public
works of the city over to contractors, and
fails to make any provision against the
Chinese, as does the old Charter.
Fifth. 1t totally ignores the State
eight-hour law.
Sixth. 1t fails to properly provide san
itary and building regulations, and con.
tains other detects and popular outrages
too numerous to mention.

Lots of Lumber Coming,

Los Angeles is to have building boom
this fall that will surpass anything yet
chronicled in her history. Some esti-
mate of how the lumber men are prepar-
ing for what is to be may be gathered
from the fact that fifty-one ships laden
with lumber are to report at San Pedro
by the first of next month. This repre-
sents something like 40.OOO,0O0 feet of
building material

Austin yesterday and discharged. The
affair occurred in front of the Club Thea
ter, and great many friends of BiIly's
were handy, whose testimony quite
overwhelmed that of the officer. Last
evening, while Phelan was on duty in
Climate wn, he was arrested by Deputy
Constable Jenkins on the charge of hav-
ing caused the illegal imprisonment of
Abbott. Phelan quickly procured bail
and was released, but he regards it as
mere effort at retaliation on the part Of
Abbott.

GA Tin SOLDIER, ON the boards
Again.

again.
Hoyt's variety play, A Tin Soldier, was
reproduced at the Grand last night te.
fore a house somewhat meagre below
stairs, but crowded and enthusiastic in
the upper regions. The songs in the
piece we're nearly all new, and much of
the cast was different from that which
appeared here several months ago. Can
field is here, and does "Rats" with as
much drollery as ever. Miss Coe is to
the fore, and looks as handsome and
sings as well as ever. So also
is Miss Kate Davis, who is the most up
roariously funny Irishman on the stage.
The rest of the cast is mostly new, and
not 80 good as the former. The songs
are excellent, and caught the popular
ear almost with vehemence. Miss Davis
was recalled half dozen times. Tie
play is on for the week.

1t is stated that the right-of-way diff
culties that have prevented the opening
of the Wolfskill depot are settled. The
road is not to run through Mr.. Griffith's

is preferable to awaiting the outcome of
