from Nc. This time his action, which from
the press stand was identical with that in
the third heat, was considered all right by
the judges. Una Wilkes was third in every
heat.
Pet, Mabel, Beauty and Sunset were the
entries In the roadster race. In what few
pools were sold Sunset was the favorte
over the field for tho first heat, but when
Pet won the heat she was made first choice,
and finally won what money was in the
box. Sunset took second money. and Beauty
third. Time, 2:44-2 :42Ra-2;99h-2:42.
BAD FOR FAvoRITEs.
In the eight days racing, barring the road
ster race, on which little if any money was
bet. the favorites won twelve times and the
field or second choices eleven. One race in
which the field won-the Beaury Molina
Wilkes event-must be deducted, rs all bets
were declared off. This leaves the favor
ties winning twelve times and losing ten.
In several races won by the favOrites, such
as the Sister V-Hazel Wilkes ct al, the bet
ting was at prohibitive odds, such as to /,
on their success; therefore but little money
could have been won by investing in their
chances. When they were beaten they were
beaten hard, AS par example the Peel-Lur-
line race when the Palo Alto stable sold for
$40 against $40 for second choice and $50
for the field. with Lurline the winner in it.
1t is such winnings as these that make glad
the hearts of the field-buyers. Taking it
all round the talent has lost very heavily,
and several race-goers who always invest in
the field are in clover and living Oh the lat
of the land.
Tomorrow the State Fair racing at Sacra-
mento commences. and one of the best
meetings ever held will be inaugurated. 1t
VIII be very interesting to see the contests
between the home two-year-olds and those
that have been campaigned in the East this

OSCAR EHRHORN'S DEATH.
Another Cause for the Same Shown b
Inv the AutOusv.

AnOther Cause for the Same shown Dy
by the AUTOPSY.
The death Of Oscar Ebrhorn. a boy Is
years of age, at the residence of his parents
yesterday morning, has aroused suspicious
in the mind of his brother Max, which have
prompted the latter to ask the Coroner to
hold an autopsy in the case.
He states that his brother worked in a
fruit-store on Taylor street, and that about
three weeks ago boy named p. Boas, who
lived at 1856 Tyler street, attempted to steal
some fruit from the stand. Ehrhorn chased
him and caught him. The elder Boas came
out and severely cuffed young Ehrhorn
about the head.
Since that time he has been very sick, and
the services of Dr. Otto III. Hunt of 7I6 How
ard street were called into requisition. He
pronounced 1t case of brain fever caused
by the blows from the elder Boas, but since
tile death OF the lad the doctor has signed a
certificate OF death setting forth that typhoid
fever was the cause
The brother wants to know why the doc.
tor changed his opinion concerning the
cause Oh death and hence asks for an inquiry.
The father of the boy is Rudolph Ehrkorn,
who lives at 400 McAllister street The
body OF the deceased has accordingly been
removed to the Morgue for the purpose of
holding an autopsy.
The autopsy showed that death resulted
from inflammation Of the bowels,

IN AWFUL SUSPENSE.
Conductor Woods Life Saved in a Wa,
That Seems Almost Miraculous.

Conductor Woods Life Saved in a Way
That Seems Almost miraculous.
One hundred feet in the air, with the falls
roaring beneath him and heavy train rum
bling above him, was the position in which
William Woods, a conductor on the j., NJ.
AMI /. Railroad, found himself recently. Yet
by miracle his life was saved, says the
Louisville Courier-J Journal.
Mr.. Woods had charge of the bridge
freight-traiD, which hauls the loaded cars
from this city to the jefferson yards on the
way to their northern destination. On Fri
day night his train consisted OF about thirty
cars, drawn by Mngul engine There were
two brakemea beside himself, and at mid
night the start was made. Woods was at
the front end of the car next to the engine,
and was climbing down the ladder to step
on the tender. Before ne gained foo,hold,
however, the ladder, which was an old one,
gave way beneath the weight upon it. Like
a flash he disappeared between the cars and
fell through the narrow crOss-tie5 of the
bridge. Fortunately he succeeded in grasp
ing with both hands a projecting iron bar,
to which he hung while the train passed
over him.
Mr.. Woods is not strong man, and be-
fore half Of the train was over his strength
was nearly exhausted He called loudly
for assistance, but the roar of the falls and
the rumbling of the train drowned his
Cries, anu II Is UOuUtlul IL II man passing on
the fooJway could have heard him. Several
times he was on the point of releasing ibis
hold, and had he done so his body would
have been dashed 10 pieces ON the rocks be-
low. But the thought of his wife and chill
dren at home, he says, imbued him with adj
dtional strength at the critical moment, and
he managed to hold on.
When the last car had passed his arms
were stiffened aud almost numb. Besides.
he was weak that he could not draw
himself up between the ties and it seemed
as if lie had only escaped death under the
wheels TO meet an equally horrible fall
upon the rocks.
Just as he had resigned himself to his fate,
and his stiffened fingers were slipping from
the iron bar to which he held, there was q
football on the pine boards above him. Sew
eral glimmerlng lights appeared, and
moment later he was lifted to tue top by
strong hands. The other trainmen, it APP
pears, had missed him soon after ths acct
dent, and five minutes later they had
stopped the train and began searching aloag
the track for him. He had probably hung
there ten minutes before they discovered
him, and had they not done so Just at the
moment they did he would probably have
never been found. The bracing air soon
restored him, and he was able to walk back
to the cabo0se. IL will be several days,
however, before he is entirely himself again.

ArtIncIal Rainfall.

New York Sept. 1.-Colonel ID.
Il. Casper, who has been connect,
ed with the signal service since its
foundation early in the seventies,
is at present stopping in this city.
Talking of the service, he said last
night:
"a curious little clause was tack
ed to the appropriations while it
was before the senate, and went
through the Legislative mill inno~
Gently enough and is now a law.
1t provides that under the diree.
tions OF the forestry division of the
department of agriculture, 1000
shall be expended on experiments
IN the artificial production of rain
fall. There are those who are dis
posed to make merry over this
provision of the appropriation bill,
but really there is nothing 70 very
absurd about it. No doubt there
is plenty OF moisture III the atmos
phere at all times, if only it could
be gathered III the right place and
made to fall upon the earth. Man
has accomplished as difficult things
rs that in the realm of applied sci
ence. Then why not thutl 1t is
not contemplated, however, to pro.
duee rainfall by the growth Of for
ests IN the arid regions. The sue
cess of that method is still disputed
Under the new law 1t is proposed
to find out whether rainfall cun not
be produced by electricity, dyna-
mito explosions or other mechani-
cal agencies, taking the cue from
the fact that heavy cauuouadiug on
Il battlefield or Il Fourth of July
celebration is followed by copious
ralus. The expermenters will
work accordingly. The process of
burning powder to produce rain
bus hitherto been too expensive to
warrant its general use, but possl-
bls cheaper explosives will be
found. It has been proposed,
among other things, to attach
twenty five pounds %oldynamlte to a
toy balloon, aud then send . flock
of such balloons in the mir with
lighted fuses attached" "At any
rate" continued the colonel, lone
way or another, the arid lands OF
the country are bound to be
brought un er splendid cultivation
sooner or later. They comprise
some of the most fertile soil on
