Horse-Cars Collide, Resulting in a Pecu-
liar Accident.
A 5 O'Clock last evening there was a crash
on Montgomery street superseded by rapid
clatter, resembling that made by the small
boy while playing on a paling fence with
stick. The noise was caused by the tongue
Of California-street horse-car having been
run into the front window Of Car 10 of the
Montgomery-stree line. Both had tried TO
pass the intersection at the same time and
the result was disaster. AS Car Is pro-
ceeded on its course the tongue broke every
glass on the west side and fragments of the
brittle plates were showered over the pas
sengers.
1t is said the California-street line has
the right OF way at that point on account of
having to descend hill, but the driver ON
the Montgomery car would not stop and he
gan cursing the other driver before he
reached the intersection
The only casualty resulting from the ACCT
dent was to a gentleman passenger. who had
his tongue split with piece of a glass.

In looking over papers left by Gosch a

of waiting for her husbands return. The
epistle closed with much love and was
signed "Will;elmina Gusch."
This has led Mrs. Goschs relatives to be-

Attaches.

Deputy Coroners were called upon yester-
day to handle seven bodies, and in addition

The present week promises to eclipse the

STRANGE IF TRUE.
The Wonderful Transformation
Of Picture of the Virgin.

The following strange story comes from
Tegucigalpa, Honduras 1t is given with
out word of change from the original text !:
"A respectable lady of this city, who is
now dead, ordered some few years ago from
abroad several pictures, among which there
came an image of the Virgin. There being
stain on the lower part of the picture it
was stored away. After several wears had
elapsed the image was taken out again, and
lol in place of the stain large tree was
plainly to be seen. 1t Is superfluous 10 saw
that this was a source Of much surprise and
attracted no little attention.
another lady Of the same family became
afterward the owner of that wonderful pic
ture, which she has taken to the States and
had it photographed.
"All that Is to be seen In 1t now is large
tree leaning somewhat toward the right.
while on the opposite side the head of the
Image can be seen very plainly yet. Through
the branches OF the tree one can distinguish
the head OF man and pair Of hands in a
duplicating attitude,
The picture Is worth seeing, for 1t Ia n
rare curiosity indeed, and 1t is even " orth

magic of chemistry was caused that wonder
