WIDELY DIFFERENT REPORTS
Concerning the Performance of the
New Cruiser Charleston.


SANTA BARBARA. Cal, May 12.-The
cruiser Charleston left this port this morn
ing. steaming south for 60 miles, and then,
turning North, went ahead under full head
of steam, making an average of 1s3 knots
with a development of $500 horse power,
with 107 revolutions of the engines. This
record was maintained for II minutes, and
was the first official record taken of the
cruisers speed in connection with the horse
power development. 1t establishes the fact
that she is one of the fastest modern night
ing machines ahoat, inclusive of the entire
class OF cruisers of the American or foreign
navies. 1t is expected that the Charleston
will leave port early tomorrow morning and
probably run ncrth.
Secretary Tracy's information.
WASHINGTON, May IA despatch re-
ceived by Secretary Tracy today, from Santa
Barbara, Cal, says the trial of the Charles
ton, made today, was failure. owing to the
starboard engine slides heating. There was
no trouble with the port engine. Mr.. Tracy
said the announcement thai the trial was a
failure" was perhaps susceptible of a
wrong Interpretation, the failure being ow-
ing to certain conditions which could, no
doubt. be remedied easily.

MORE ROOM NEEDED.
Sacramento the Greatest Railroad Center


Sacramento the Greatest Railroad Center
on the Coast.
Sacramento has become the most i'm.
portant railroad center on the Pacific
coast. and the Southern Pacific officials are
beginning to find it exceedingly difficult &c
handle their immense business with their
present facilities, and are looking about for
more room for yard and sidetrack pur-
poses. From railroad point of view Sac
ramento is a great deal like Indianapolis
IN that 1t Is great center where freights from
all portions of the coast are collected and for
warded to the East. Traffic has increased
marvelously during the past few wears. and
at this time between sixty and seventy
trains arrive at and leave This CITY daily.
There is heavy travel between Texas and
all points south to Oregon and Washington
Territory, while on the other hand many
people are leaving the northern country
and going to Oklahoma.
So far the passenger traffic is taken care
OF without difficulty, but the handling of
the immense amount of freight which
reaches here has become a yery serious
question with the railroad people
All trains for the East are made up here
and great deal of yard-room is needed
AT present the work is done on a very linn
tied number of side-tracks. Along the CITY
front. from to X streets, there are seven
or eight tracks, and from K to NJ there are
only three. From l street north four
tracks run around back of the shops, and
join the main line again at Sixth and D
streets. This is all the yard-room the COM
panY now has in which to make up trains,
and it is entirely inadequate. Other suit
able land can be had, but it is all low, and
the cost of filling it up to grade would be
great. 1t is said that Mr.. Haggin has of
Tered the railroad company all the land

it is presumed that they would prefer hay

NOT YET SETTLED.
The Matter of tho Custody of Ida Cham
bers Again Heard in Court.

The hearing of the motion to vacate the
order of the Superior Court giving the GUS
tody of Clara Chambers, a minor, to Mr..
and Mrs. w. NJ. Bucklin, drew a large
crowd of persons, chiefly ladies, to Judge
Van Fleets Court. yesterday. Mrs. Twitch-
ell, one of the Protestant Orphan Asylum
Directors, at whose instance the motion
was made, presented a petition setting
forth that the parents of the child are dead,
and that for two years prior to March 10Th,
the little one had been in charge of the
Orphan Asylum. On that date, however,
the Bucklins procured an order Of adoption
from the Court, without having notified
petitioner or any of the Directors of the
Asylum. Petitioner held that the Court
had DO jurisdiction to make such an order,
and that no persons other than the Mana
gers of the Asylum had right to give con-
sent to the child's adoption. Wherefore,
petitioner prayed that the order of adop-
ton be set aside and annulled. and that the
child be restored to the charge and man.
agement of the Orphan Asylum.
The petitioner was represented by Grove
l.. Johnson. and the other side by S. S.
Holl.
1t was shown by the testimony of the
Ma.ron of the Asylum that Mrs. Bucklin
was permitted, about two months ago. to
take the child to her home for visit. Mrs,
Twitchell testified that the Bucklins had
adopted the child unknowingly to the Asy-

This afternoon at half-past o'clock there
will be a game of ball between the San
Francisco club and the Sacramentos. It
will be the first appearance here of the for
mer club, which now stands at the head of
the League, and an exciting contest is
looked for. 1t will also give an opportunity
for persons in this city not inclined to wit
ness ball games on Sunday, but who would
go at any other time. The hour has been
set at such time that most of the business
houses will be closed, and large attend

leave the depot-one at $50 and the other
at 3:l5 in the afternoon. The admission
will be Is cents, and Is cents extra for those
who ride on the train.
In the San Francisco nine there will be
many familiar faces, such as Powers, Han

Meegan. The former will::no doubt receive
hearty welcome by the Sacramento peo-
pie, having once held down the first bag for
the Atlas in brilliant manner. He is vet
the same Powers, and one of the best

A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.
LITTLE FRANKIE J0ESIsK MEETS
AN AWFUL DEATH.
Freight Cars-Serious Acct
dent to ". H. Goyan.

| An accident occurred on the railroad yes
terday at Eighth street and the north leyee
which sent a thrill of horror through the
community, and caused many fond parents
| to clasp their children closer to their hearts
last night and utter fervent prayers for
| their protection from like misfortune.
1t seems that about one o'clock freight
| train No. s entered the city from the east
| and had slowed down, as usual, at the
point mentioned, when frankie Joes;nk,
the twelve-year-o son of an engineer on
the railroad, attempted to climb upon one
of the cars. In the attempt he missed his
footing and swung in under the car, and
then losing his hold upon the guard the poor
child fell upon the track and was shock
ingly crushed beneath the wheels of the
cars. The little fellow had scarcely time to
even utter an outcry, ere his head was
severed from the body and his left arm torn
off at the shoulder.
The train was stopped as soon as posi-
BILE, and crowd of people gathered at the
spot, only to be shocked by the sickening
spectacle that was presented as the man.
Sico lcIudlLs VI Tie CUllU were RdIQeFeu To-
gether. The strongest hearts suffered
pangs of pain, and when the child's father
arrived it was found necessary, so terrible
was his grief, to conceal from him the real
condition of his little ones remains. Both
parents are said to be heart broken over
the terrible occurrence, and certain 1t is
that the hearts of the community are filled
with sorrow at their awful affiiction.
In this connection it may be timely to
read a warning lesson to other children
who are in the habit of climbing on cars
along the railroads within the city limits.
1t is said that score or more of bows
make daily practice of jumping the trains
in the vicinity of yesterdays accident, and
it is a miracle that other accidents have not
occurred. Several cripples are noticeable
among the number who try TO board the
incoming trains.
At the Coroner's inquest last evening the
jury returned a verdict of accidental death,
resulting from the boys own carelessness.
The employees on the train were fully ex-
onerated from blame

Yesterday morning about o'clock q

noise in entering that he awoke one of the

The thief deliberately took from the
