HORRIBLE ACCIDENT.
Minnie Kiavon Literally Scaiped ut tn
Union Steel Works.

Nj innfe kiavon Literally Scaiped ut the
Union Steel Works.
A frightful accident occurred yesterday
afternoon at the works of the Union Steel
Screw Company. at the corner of Case and
Payne avenues. The victim of the accident
was Minnie Klavon, fifteen-year-old girl
who lives with her parents at Is Dayton
street. In the department where the screws
are planed there is shaft revolving about
fifteen inches from the floor. This shaft
makes about 800 revolutions minute. All
of the female employees at the works are
cautioned to keep their hair done up in such
manner that it will not get caught in any
of the machinery. In fact the necessity of
this precaution has been so realized that
rule of the establishment now exists which
compels all girls employed in the works TO
keep their hair done up.
Yesterday afternoon, just five minutes
after work began, Minnie Klavon had not
braided her hair according to the require
ments, but was doing so. She had braided
the hair on the left side of her head and was
about to braid the hair on the right side
when she stopped to pick up something on
the floor Just beneath the revolving shaft.
As she stopped her flowing hair was caught
in the revolving shaft and with one-half of
the scalp of the girls head, it was literally
torn off. The accident was over in an in
slant. The hair wound about the shaft,
tearing OIL piece OF scalp nine inches III
length by six in width. La some mysterious
manner the two smallest fingers of the girls
right hand were also cut off. The feature Of
the accident is entirely inexplicable.
The girl was Immediately taken to the
office of DR.. Capener. The only stinulant
which DR.. Capener used was few ounces of
whisky. He then sent for the severed pieces
| of scalp, and after disinfecting it began sew
| ing it back in its place. He observed that
the temporal, perietal and part of the occ-
pital bones were denuded. He placed be-
| tween seventy-ive and one hundred stitches
in the wound The accident was very pain
ful, but the girl stood it with remarkable
nerve. She did not lose consciousness at
any time and talked intelligently about the
accident after it was all oyer.-Cleveland

An Interesting lame.

The Colonies Beat Out the Senators In
an Interesting Game.
SACRAMENTO. Sept. 26.-The Oaklands
made their temperance to-day and upheld
their reputation for kicking. D0nahue
failed to materialize, and Sheehan Of the
Record-Union ofiiciated as umpire. Mr..
Sheehan being new to the business the Colo
nels took every opportunity to delay the
game and give their pitcher rest.
Sheehan's base decisions were splendid,
and when he did err on balls and strikes it
was generally in favor of Oakland, and yet
Dooley and CantilIion kicked when fairly
called out on strikes. Had the umpire in
flicted much-deserred fines upon them they
would not have been so boisterous.
Nothing but hard luck kept the Senators
from winning, as they outbatted and out
fielded their opponents, and base hit would
have won the game several times.
Cobb pitched a good game. keeping his
hits well scattered. but his fine support
kept the Senators from scoring. He struck
out eight ba;smen and gave but two bases
on balls.
Harper pitched a better game than Cobb,
allowing but i've hits and striking out eight.
His Gases on balls were costly, two out of
four scoring. McHale and Lehman, who
have been relnstated, gave their respective
pitchers fine support. The former threw
out three runners at second.
Ward, the Senators new player, made
fine impression, .gett1Ag two hits out of
three times up. He ga fine coaeher and
outfeider.
Bowman played good game at first, but
Hoffman error was responsible for a run.
In the first inning Dooley reached first on
balls. went to third on nweeney's single, and
scored on Dungan's sacrifice.
In the fifth Cobb hit for n single went I'm
third on Cantillion's safe hit and scored on
Hoffman's error of McHale's throw. Can
tllion scored on Dooley's single.
In the seventh Mcdonald was given first
on balls took third on wild pitch and
scored on N. O'NeiPs sacrifice.
In the eighth Ward took first on balls,
went 10 third on hits by Cedar and Reitz
and scored on Hoffman's hit. Cedar scored
while Hoffman was being run down at first
In the ninth, after two men were out,
Roberts scored on long drive for four bags
The Senators would have scored in the
fifth had not DoOley twice deliberately
blocked the runner. Attendance 800. The

SAFE IN PORT.
Arrival of the Ship Gretna After
a Long Passage.

There was great Joy among the marine in
surance men OF the city last evening when.
shortly after o'clock, they learned that the
news was posted on Change that the Brit
ish ship Gretna was entering the port. She
left London for this port nearly seven
months ago, and since then was only spoken
once, and that was on April 18th. when she
was in latitude 15o south, longitude $40
west.
For some weeks she has been given up as
lost and the pilots on the George Peabody
were surprised when they saw her loom up
through the haze outside the bar yesterday
afternoon late. Pilot Boyd boarded her and
brought her in. Captain Webster made a
very comprehensive report of his unpreee-
IDENTIFY long voyage to the exchange, from
which it is learned the vessel left London
on March Sth, and the same night, off the
Nose, lost an anchor and six fathoms of
chain.
Between latitude 4So and ago north stormy
weather was encountered, with violent
squalls, during which the cargo shifted and
the vessel was thrown on her beam ends. All
hands were sent below to right the cargo.
Off the river Platte bad weather with terri
bly, hard hail squalls was encountered, and
tremendous seas broke over the ship, doing
considerable damage. From June LIST to the
10th very stormy weather was experienced,
attended by terribly heavy squalls with
sleet and hail-stones.
There was high cross sea, and the YES
sci was almost entirely under water from
the seas that broke over her. Two of the
boats we're smashed, Others were damaged
and considerable damage was done on deck
Seeing no improvement in the weather, and
having lost so much canvas and his boats,
on June 18th the captain determined to
make for this port via the Cape Of Good
Hope and Australia. instead to put into the
Falkland Islands to reft. Eleven of the
crew were then off duty from the extreme
c0ldness Of the weather. Nothing of par
ticular interest occurred during the re-
mainder of the long passage. The Gretna
brought 1882 casks Of cement for j. ID.
Spreckels & Bros.
During tile month OF August the Gretna
sailed 5132 and during the present month
$685. miles. The total distance sailed in the
passage was 26o76 miles.

man. In his southern tour Pond will be
