STRUCK BY A TRAIN.
Mrs. I. 8. Moore Badly In
iured near Pasadena.
HER SKULL WAS FRACTURED
She Was Walking on the Track anu
Did Not Hear the Whistle
Sound.

About 9 80 o'clock yesterday morning
Mrs. I. s. Moore, the wife OF an employee
of the San Pedro Lumber Co., residing
on Adella street, Pasadena, was struck
by the local train from San Bsrnardino,
on the Southern California railroad, a
short distance from the Pasadena depot,
and received such injuries as to,render
her recovery extremely doubtful. The
train left Pasadena for this city at 9 :23
O'Clock, and on approaching the sharp
curve about four blocks from the station,
the engineer, Harry Knott, saw lady
walking along the track. He blew his
danger whistle sharply three times and
attempted to bring his train to stand.
still, but in spite of his precautions the
engine struck the unfortunate woman,
who had evidently failed to hear the
warning, and threw her on one side
of the track. As soon as possible
after the stoppage of the train, Conduc-
tor Joe Rapp and several OF the passen-
gers ran to the spot where the injured
woman lay, and she was picked up and
carried back to the depot, where she was
examined by physician. 1t was found
that the lady's right foot was badly
crushed, and thai her skull was fractured
just above the right temple. The train,
after short delay, was dispatched on
its journey, and the matter having
been reported at headquarters on its ar
rival in this city, special was
SEM out to Pasadena for the pur-
pose of conveying the injured lady
to this city for treatment by the
company's surgeons, Drs. Ross, Nor
rison and Wing. The lady had not re-
covered Consciousness when the special
arrived at the First'street depot on it's
return Journey, and her husband, who
had been informed of the accident, was
one of the first persons to enter the car
As it had been reported that the injured
lady was the wife of butcher named |
Holland, although the description of the
lady's appearance Tailed with that OF
his wife, Mr.. Moore received al
terrible shock on recognizing the
form stretched upon the cushions.
Mrs. Moore was carried from the car and
conveyed in an ambulance to ST. Paul's
hospital, where Drs. Ross and Morrison
were in attendance. 1t was found that
in addition to her external Injuries the |
lady had been severely hurt internally,
and owing to her extremely low condi-
ton the operation of amputating the
maDgled foot was deferred for several
hours. At 2 O'Clock, however, the two
surgeons concluded to perform the oper.
alton, and their patient withstood the
trying ordeal in manner which caused
them to express more sanguine hopes of
her recovery. At late hour last night
she was resting comparatively easily, but
her condition was still very critical.

The West End Board of Trade met on
Wednesday evening at the usual hour,
about thirty of the members being
present.
A. NJ. Ellsworth complained Of the
Temple.street fire company; also that
the fire alarm box hss been moved from
Union avenue, thickly populated dis
trict, and placed in front of the engine
house.
E. E. Galbreth believed the company
had done the best it could; that the
trouble did not lie with the fire company
that there should be additional fire.

that the proper source is the Fire Com.
missioners, and the matter should be
brought before that body. Col. G. E.
Daley said he had watched the opera
tion of the fire company and that he was
sgreeably surprised at the service rem
dered. The matter was referred to the
fire committee.
The special committee on the regrsd-
ing of Temple street reported that nothing
had been accomplished in the proposed
compromise by protestants; that those
opposed to the regrade had presented
nothing since the last meeting.
]. Mills Davies, chairman of the etand-
ing committee on streets, said that he
had talked with Colonel Morford, Street
Superintendent, in regard to the present
manner of constructing street cutters,
and that he reported that changes could
not be made by him; that the matter
was controlled by the City Engineer;
also that he called the Street Superin-
tendent's attention to the present condi-
tion OF the streets, and requested that
something be done. The Superintend-
ent said that 81 men had recently been
taken off the force, and that his men had
been working day and night, and that
with the present force the streets will
not be put in proper condition in six
months.
The matter of putting in wator meters
was discussed and strongly advocated by
those using them. G. II. Libby thought
that the proper course would be to get
the Council to take action in the matter,
and, if nothing could be done, to welcome
the Chicago or any other water COM
pany. Charles .Luckenbach said that
the City Attorney stood ready at any
time to make test case, if any one

factory here to be ready for the crop OF
1891. And right here it ought to be said
that the reason for deferring the build
ing of the plant here beyond this year,
was that Mr.. Oxnard feared there was
too much of Mr.. Gird's land in the raw
state that would have to be used, and to
avoid the possibility of even temporary
failure it was deemed better to have the
land well cultivated this year prepsr-
atory to the beet crop for manufactur-
ing purposes and at this time
nearly two thousand acres have
been rented for corn this year. This
crop is regarded as the best to insure the
thorough pulverization of the sod and the
decay of the vegetable matter and its
interminging with the soil.

4 Political Coalition Aimed At.

Under authority given at the national
reform conference" last November call
has been issued for union organizing
convention of reformers from all parties"
to be held in st. Louis Sept. 9. The pur-
pose stated in the call is to adopta national

policies without the intervention Of parties
or candidates, the result Of these elections
to be considered as instructions to the leg

A Fair Defendant and Faulty Papers.

To the dismay Of the Tennessee officials
waiting in Chicago, Judge Clifford has dis
charged Lena Edwards, the handsome
young Memphis, Tenn, girl who is wanted
in that city on the charge of palming off
painted diamonds" on certain unsuspect-
ing business men. The Tennessee officials
had sent officers with requisition papers
and directed them to bring back the young
woman at oil hazards. Judge Clifford de-
cided to iberate Miss Edwards. In doing
SO he decided quite an important point in
regard 70 acquisitions. In regard to
that signed by the governor of Tennessee
that official said: 1T has been represented
that the said Lena Edwards is guilty." etc.
1t seems to me, said the court, chat
this constitutes vital flaw in the reuuisi.
ton papers. The governor should have
said that the girl was guilty, OF that it had
been shown him that she was guilty in
stead of declaring that the alleged fact had
been merely represented to him. There
fore shall discharge the defendant" A
new requisition will be sought and the
Girl rearrested unless she manages to make
her escape.

Cornelius McBlide, the special inspector
who was sent to Oklahoma by Secretary
Noble, talked freely regarding his investi-
cations. He said when he first entered the
territory, and before the opening procla-
nation took effect, he was surprised to
find the indicated troubles between the
various bands of settlers and boomers l1n-
warranted. He had not been there long
before he discovered it WAS not bloodshed
but rascallty the department had to fear.
He further said: Secretary Noble tele-
graphed me to look after the score of
deputy United States marshals who had
gone into the territory. I telegraphcd MIR.
Noble that it was not the
deputy marshals who were to
blame, but higher officials. 1 found
that John l. Ollie. land register, and c. M.
Barnes, receiver, had conIived to allow
their friends aud relatives to come into the
territory before they had any right to, and
enter the choicest land. Gen. w. Fl. Clay
ton, fellow townsman of Barnes, went to
Guthrie the Saturday before the opening,
and Sunday surveyed the section o. land
laid out for the town site of Guthrie and
made the plat. Mark S. Cohn was selected

pointed deputy marshals to guard tie door
of the land Office on the morning of the
opening. ID. 2. Dyer, of Kansas City, eS-
pected to be the FIRST mau to make an en-
try, and in reality would have been were
it not for the preconcerted plan. When
the door was opened at noon the three

| When they had finished entering they had

ter Walton, OF Colorado. This filing also

Mcbride says he recommended the re-
moval from Office of Register Ollie, Re-
ceiver Barnes and Marshal Jones, of Kan
sas. Jones is the only man who has been
removed up to the present time. Mcbride
further said before the opening Clayton
came to him and told him unless the town

lowed to be entered blood would flow in

A Renewed Sensation from Vienna.

A very sensational and improbable YER
sion OF the Meyerling tragedy has just been
published in the Vienna papers. 1t is that
Archduke Rudolf and the young Baroness
Vetsera were brother and sister. Til
runner rests on the report that Emperor
Francis Josef, years ago, made love to
BARONESS Vetsera and the heroine of the
Meyerling tragedy was born to them; and
when the facts were told to Archduke Ru-
dolf, he was SO affected by the revelation
OF the horrible secret that he suicided.
The only basis for the story seems to be
the report that when the news of his sons
death first reached the emperor he ex-
claimed: My son, my daughter" The
story has recalled and renewed mach
gossip
