The Drawbridge was Open 4.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 30.-One Of
the most horrible railway accidents
ever known in California occurred at
lao o'clock this afternoon. when To-
cal train, connecting at Oakland with
the ferry boats from San Francisco. ran
through an open drawbridge, over San
Antonio creek at Webster street, Oak
land. The yacht Juniata had just
passed through draw when train ap-
peared going in the direction Of Ala
media. The draw bridge keeper en-
desvored 10 close the bridge. but 1t
vas too late and the engine with its
tender aud first car, which was filled
with passengers, plunged into the
river, which was quite deep here. The
engineer and Fireman O'Brien went
down with the engine. The former,
when he saw that the bridge did not
close, reversed the lever. Tut the mo-
mentum of the engine was too great to
be stopped In time. The weight OF
the engine and the first car broke the
coupling and left the other two cars Of
the train standing on the track. The
second car ran about one.third OF the
way across the bridge and stopped, but
the lar was sufficient to break open the
front end OF the car, and many per-
sons were thrown Into the water. The
first car which had followed the engi ne
IN the bottom of the muddy estuary,
soon rose, and such of the passengers
"a had escaped were picked up by
yachts and small boats which gathered
At the scene. The trainmen and the
rest Of the passengers lent their aid to
the work Of rescue, and when the
wrecking train arrived from Oakland,
the car was drawn into shallow water
and boats began dredging the creek.
The conductor stated that probably
twenty-five persons had met death
The top of the passenger lcoach was cut
open ss soon as II was raised above
water, and the work Of removing bodies
commenced, ten being taken out In
quick succession. Engineer Dunn was
not to be found and IL is believed he
perIshed beneath bis engine.

Texas Springs Palace Burned

FT. WORTH, May 3O.-The Texas
Springs palace burned to the ground at
1880 o'clock tonight. One life was
lost. The loss is estimated at 500, 900.
Several thousand persons were present
to attend grand ball which was the
fairs closing event. 1t is impossible
to find out whether the loss Of life is
large or not. but many think none
were burned. while many others fear
that at least twenty-five persons
perished and some even place the num-
Der greater. All estimates are merely
copiecturee at this writing.

Mormon Tithing scrip.

II you go into the principal Office OF
the tithing-house, says "A Salt Lake
City letter ia the ST. Louis Globe Demo
crdf. you will see tall, young man

is behind a counter and the counter is

chances through the window, then looks
down at the bills. and goes on thumb
ing them like bank teller. He goes

dies done up just as bills are. with lit
tie bands Of brown paper pinned about
them. Sometimes the young man
doesn't stop TO count. but takes the
amount on the brown slip as correct
and passes out the money. This is
Mormon money. Ii Is the ,tirhing
scrip. 1t is used TO facilitate the hand
ling of the grain. and hay, and live
stock, and produce which come in. Ii
you pick up one OF these bills you will
lind It very much like bank note in
appearance. In one upper corner is
the number Of the bill. In the lower
left-hand corner is the in hoe signo of
Mormonism "A beehive.
The face of the bill reads: Gen

On the back is the denomination again

Salt Lake City. The back also bears
the wording: This note Is not cur
rent except in the merchandise and
produce departments of the general
tithing storehouse." The engraving is
we'll executed and the printing is well
done. The bills vary in color. There
are greenbacks for one department OF
the tithing house, brownbacks for an
other. and SO on. BY using this scrip
the church Is able To create market
for considerable quantities of the tith-
ing. The scrip is given out in dis
pensing charity. 1t Is used for paying
for work on the temple so far as the
workmen can make use of IT, EN-

salaries of allowance partly Ia scrip.
In numerous ways the Mormon money
gets into circulation.

The ReUue Francdisc of Paris had 2
letter from Zanzibar which says that
over a year ago caravan OF 300
Arabs left the east coast to go into the
interior TO trade. They have now re-
turned aud one of the chiefs relates their
adventures. Arriving at kayirondo,
on the northest shores Of Victoria
Nyanza, the Arabs saw that the natives
had good deal of ivory and that they
had no guns. They attacked the tribe.
and before the shooting had gone on
long the natives were willing to do any
thing TO make peace.
After long palaver with the chiefs
the Arabs agreed TO leave the country
upon the payment to them OF 200 tusks
OF ivory and 200 young women. The
natives were glad Ia get rid OF the
enemy even on these hard conditions.
As soon AS they received the ivory aud
the women the Arabs started for the
coast. They had "A terrible time la

Evidence OF somebody's firm belief
IN the old superstition about boring a
hole in a thrifty tree placing therein a
lock OF ones hair aud pairing OF the
nails and then carefully plugging the
hole Ia the hope that as soon as the
deposit became solid wood all fear OF
future headache and other ills would be
dispelled from the mind OF him whose
lock of hair was contributed TO the
tree. came TO light in the quaint town
of Wells recently. While saving shin
giles from a tree that recently stood
near the Boston and Maine station In
that town. William Maxwell came
across just such an exhibition OF
human deposit. The nails and dark
brown hair were firmly embedded In
the solid wood, being separated only
when the machinery converted tho
wood into shingles. The hair and
nails could be traced Ia four of the
shingles cut from that particular part
of the tree. IL Is hoped that the bring
ing TO light of these emblems In so rude
a manner has not broken the charm.
