THE OAKLAND DISASTER.


The Engineer Found Guilty OF Man.
slaughter BY the Coroner,s Jury.
SAN FRANcIsco, June 3.-Several other
witnesses were examined at the railroad dis
aster inquest last night, but their testimony
contained few facts that have not already
been made public. An effort was made to
have the engineer, Dunn, present to relate
the circumstances of the accident, but he
could net be found. The conductor, T. A..
Davis, testified that he knew nothing about
the draw being opened until the engine and
cars went into the water. He did not think
the train was running more than two miles
an hour at the time. The jury rendered a
verdict finding that the victims of the aoci-
dent came to their deaths by drowning,
caused by criminal negligence ON the part Of
Dunn. The verdict further recitss: eve
find Dunn guilty of granddaughter. We also
find that the railroad company does not take
sufficient caution to signal trains when ap-
preaching the drawbridge."

The Exclusive Fast Mail.

1t is now settled beyond doubt that the
fast mail train on the Union Pacific will
carry no passengers after the 18th of
March. The government mail authorities
have demanded the fulfillment of the cen
tract requiring schedule time, but the
great weight of the Pullman coaches at
tached to the flyer have prevented the
Union Pacific from complying strictly with
the contract. 1t has been found impossi-
bic to make the trip uniformly on time with
a heavy train. Accordingly tie arrange
ment now decided on is to run to Green
River with an exclusive mail train. A new
passenger train will be put on, starting
from Omaha enough in advance of the flyer
to reach Green River before the flyer over
takes il. There the two trains will be COM
bined and go on to San Francisco together
In the same way fast passenger will
start from San Francisco before the mail
flyer, which will overtake it at Green
River and go east together. In running
light to Green River each way enough time
will he gained to make the schedule good
for the entire trip. Twelve new mail cars
are to be put on the road of the best mod
ern construction. They will be lighted by
electricity and heated by steam. Under the
new arrangements the mail service will be
more prompt and complete and the safety
OF passengers assured.

WILHELM SEDlMAYER.
The Well Known Tenor Who Recent

The Well Known Tenor Who Recently
Died in New York.
When the Barber of Bagdadn was first
sung at the Metropolitan Opera house in New
York few weeks ago the audience was
charmed by the fine voice of the Cadi. Herr
Wilhelm Sedlmayer sang the part, and sang
it well, on that opening night; but it was the
last part he ever sang Death had his hand
on the cord that was to ring down the cur
tain on his life at the moment when the stage
manager touched the signal for the drop to
fall on the last scene of the Barber of Bag
dad.n
Herr Sedlrnayer was not feeling well when
he went on the stage that night but, true
artist and faithful worker, he did the work
of the night conscientiously and well. He
even seemed to put a touch Of unusual rich
ness and feeling into his tones. The fact that
his voice was never raised in song again gives
this fact peculiar significance His illness
grew worse, became serious, and in less than
a week he died.
Herr Sedlmayer received his early training
at the Conservatory Of Music at Vienna, his
native city. He played important lyric tenor
parts at the Vienna Opera house, but won his
first great success in the comic opera of
'Lortzeing."
From Vienna he went to the Court theatre,
at Munich, and had since sung at all the
principal opera houses of the continent His
last European engagement was at Hamburg,
where Mr.. Stanton engaged him to go to
New York expressly to take the parts of
Mime in the 'Nibelungenring" and David in
''Die Meistersinger," roles in which his sue
cess will be pleasantly remembered by lovers
of the opera.
In private life Herr Sedlmayer was anna
bic and unassuming. His wife, to whom he
was devoted, survives him.

will be constitutional if it does pass. l do
not think we can make crime of smoking
that 1t is vice, however, we all acknowI-
edge. The boy who smokes does not COM
NIT an offense against any one. We can
not go into the household and say YOU
cannot drink tea nor smoke cigar This act
would make sneak thieves of all the boys
they would sneak into back alleys and eel
lars to smoke. I don't think this will ever
become a law. | think if the governor has
any sense he will spoil the face of the bill
l'by writing ''veto'' over it.
| Mr.. Benner-I would like to make an
addition to this bill, so as not to make it
so manly to be able to smoke. I am in
favor of stopping the use of tobacco. This is
the subject have quarrelled with young
people over for long time. 1t is lust as
much a crime for men to smoke as for boys.
BY statistics it has been found that
tobacco has caused insanity and other ner-
Vous affections in men, and it is lust as in
furious to the man as the Doy. WHY does
the father whip his boy! Simply because
ne IS larger and can. The man who resorts
TO the stick is weak, and so it is in this case.
You can't reach the man, but YOU apply the
lash to the boy because you can. Let us
include all evil doors in this bill
| Mr.. .Rlchards-It is sure thing that we
can't pass this bill today, and as several
members are absent think we should post
pone action. There has been some question
as to the constitutionality of the bill. I
don't think anyone would question our
rignt TO pass law restricting the keeping
OF opium joints or other dens. We can't saw
mat you must not cross the street, or not
ride in buggy with four wheels. The OBJ
| ]ect OF this bill is to prevent tho usa of ~ a
weed by children. It becomes necessary
not only to prohibit the selling, but the
using. II 1t IS no crime for him to smoke,

THE CIGARETTE BILL,
1t was Earnestly Discussed by
the Council Yesterday.
DECIDED DIFFERENCE OF OPINION.
Mr.. Benner and Mr.. Richards Do Not Sc,
Eye to Eye-Mr. Bryan's Substi-
tute Bill.

The Council was the only branch of the
Legislature which convened yesterday.
The chief topic of interest was the further
discussion of the cigarette bill.
Mr.. Bryan introduced a second substitute
for G. F. %, relating to corporate towns.
The bill provides that officers of towns
shall give bonds, and gives the officers
authority to establish quarantine regula-
tions. 1t provides that in case any fines
imposed by courts are not paid imprison-
ment may be resorted to. Under it's pro
visions town clerks shall make and publish
annual statements. A town may be disin-
corporated on petition of three-fourths
of the taxpayers and vote of three
fourths of the electors. When such town
has been disincorporated the property
shall vest in the county court in trust for
the inhabitants of the town. and the same
is to be used in Improvement of the side
walks, public squares, parks or cemeteries
of that town.
