The alarm from Box 2S6 at 3:55 yesterday
morning was for n fire in a three-story
frame building at 2719 Folsom street. ownei
by Mrs. Mary Phillips, and occupied by her
as dwelling. The fire was caused by an

Joining building at 2721 Folsom street,
owned and occupied by j. T. Sullivan. Both
buildings were completely destroyed, the
total loss being $780,
Assistant Chief Kennard of the Second
Division of the Fire Department reported
that while the firemen were engaged in ex-
tlngulshing the flames on the first building,
1t became necessary TO stretch the fire. hose
across the Southern Pacific Railroad track,
which crosses Folsom street Mt this point.
While the fremen were working, one OF
freight trains of the Southern Pacific Com
pany was heard approaching, and District
Engineer kennard sent a man with a lar
tern down the track TO signal the train to
stop, but no attention was paid and the
freight train dashed by. cutting the hose in
three sections. According to the story OF
the fireman and the District Engineer, the
flames were almost under control in the first
building when the hose was cut and the
stream on the fire stopped. When the
water was thus cut off, the flames in the
light frame building broke out afresh, and
before new hose could be secured, had
spread to the adjoining building thereby
causing loss of $500 Both houses were
insured

A RUNAWAY TRAIN.
Exciting Time With Santa Fe Freight
at Pasadena. Cal.

Exciting Time With a Santa Fe Freight
at Pasadena, Cal.
A thrilling event took place on Tuesday
morning on the Santa Fe road, which. had
it happened fifteen minutes later, would
have in all probability resulted more disas-
trously.
About $50 o'clo freight train pulled
into Pasadena from Los Angeles. Ten of
the cars were sidetrac6ed south of the sta
ton. The locomotive, with four or five
other cars. then steamed up toward Col
orado street to do some shifting. All of the
crew happened to be on this section Of the
train, and one of the brakemen, on looking
back, was startled to see the detached sec
ton that had been sidetra2ked slowly
moving southwark. The cars forced them
selves safely through the frog switch on the
main track, and then the speed was swiftly
accelerated on the steep grade down toward
the Raymond.
1t did not take the tranmeu long to COM
prehend the situation. The conductor or
dered the engineer to give chase. The steam
was reversed and soon the big locomotive
was laundering down the grade in the rear
OF the cars. The whistle was blown almost
necessarily to keep the crossings clear The
Raymond and South Pasadena were passed
IN rapid succession before the people who
were attracted by the unusual commotion
could understand what it all meant The
race continued until Lincoln Park was
reached. Here the runaway cars were over
taken, but 1t was found impossible to couple
them to the forward portion of the train
while moving SO rapidly, so the brakemen,
one by one, made a flying leap from car to
car and soon had the train under control.
The chief danger lay in the fact that the
80 passenger train out from Los Angeles
was moving toward Pasadena. and that if
the runaway cars were not stopped before
it hove in sight collision would almost
necessarily result. 1t was only a few mill
utes after the cars were stopped near the
Garvanza bridge that the passenger train
came along.
Whatever negligence the crew may have
been guilty OF in not properly braking the
cars at Pasadena seems to be atoned for In
their gallant actions later. The passenger
train was DELAYED nearly an hour in conse-
Quence.-LoS Angeles Times.

THROWN INTO BOILING SPRINGS.

New Light Upon the Fate of the Christians
In Japan Two Centuries Ago.
Any one who reads books on Japan will
remember that he is told, if he ever visits
the harbor of Nagasaki. that he must look
at the lofty rock otPappenberg, descending
sheer for some hundreds of feet into the
deep water. He Is further Informed that in
the seventeenth century, when there were
many Christian converts in Japan, thou
sands of them were cast into the sea from
this cliff. DR.. Reiss. professor in the
University at Toxic, has recently been in
vesiigating the records of this Christian
rebellion. He has shown quite conclusiyely
that the rock of Pappenburg was not used
for the purpose described to tourists. No
mention of throwing the Christians over the
rock is made in any of the contemporaneous
records, and DR.. Reiss says that it would
have been absurd to have dragged the pris-
Oners to that distant place.
What happened, however, was even more
frightful anu the scene was quite different.
The rebellion occurred in Shimabara,
whose interior has for its most conspicuous
object a volcanic mountain mass called
Onsenga. which is said to have one of thu
largest craters in the world. while its slope
and bas, are full of boiling sulphur springs

traced the outline Of a tree destroyed by

from appearances perhaps once measured

heart of any lumberman. The stump was
measured last week by Edward A. T. Gala

for veracity in 1S49. when his description of
the sequoias of California was published in
the Eastern papers, in which the statement
was made that his employees had driven
