RAILROAD ACCIDENT.
Freight Train Wrecked Near Baden-A Car
Load Of Sheen Killed.


Load of Sheep Killed
SAN JOSE, Sept. 23.-1he Herald this
evening says: The trains bringing the
circus from San Francisco were detained up
tile road this morning so that 1t was mpos-
sible to give any afternoon performance.
The cause of this great disappointment was
railroad accident between Baien and
Colma at between and 3 o'clock this morn
ing. The north bound freight, due at Baden
at 2:25 o'clock, pulled out and after it had
gone some distance it was discovered that
eight cars loaded with stock had brOk en-
from the rear of the train. The conduct or
started back after them, but before his
train got to them three more cars broke off
and went wild. They found the eight cars
and collision resulted, in which there was
a great destruction of rolling stock and he
slaughter OF carload OF sheep. This
blocked the road for more than two houIs
and all trains were delayed.
The circus train Is run in two sections the
first carrying among other things the tents,
and the second the animals. The first sec
ton got past the scene of the accident
before it occurred, but the second WAS
caught on the other side. BY the time the
road was opened this section of the circus
train had lost its right of way and had to
make progress as ordered from time to time
from headquarters. 1t was expected here
at As o'clock p. NJ, too late 20 make it

THREE TIMES BURGLARIZED.
The Residence Of a Sacramento Judge Visited
bv Thieves

The Residence Of Sacramento Judge Visited
by Thieves.
SACRAMENTO, Sept 23-A most daring
burglary was consummated last night at the
residence of Judge Catlin. 1921 II street
Shortly after midnight the Judge was
awakened by sounds as OF groaning He
arose and went downstairs. where he ascer-
tanned that the sounds came from the sleep
ing-room of the house domestic. On enter
ing the room Mr.. Catlin discovered the girl
speechless. He could learn nothing from
her, but, remembering a recent experience,
he concluded there we're burglars in the
house, and made a hasty search. from base
ment to garrett. All the outer doors. both
to the rear and in front, were wide open.
Catlin could find no burglar, and then went
for DR.. Cluness Jr., who administered an
emetic to the seryant-girl, and after awhile
she was able to give an account OF her eX-
perience. She says that man entered the
room and shook her, and when she awoke
demanded to know where Judge CatlIn
kept his money. The startled girl replied
that she did not know anything about the
Judges money. "If you don't tell me, I'll
give you some OF this" exclaimed the rob-
Der, holding up a vial of laudanum and SELF
ing her by the throat he forced the mouth OF
the bottle between her lips, and when she
endeavored to avoid swallowing the poison
he choked her until the deadly draughtwent
down without her will. Then the scoundrel
lett her and proceeded to the Judges room.
He ransacked the apartment thoroughly,
opened the bureau drawers, turned down
the bedding and the top mattresses and left
nothing uuturned in the room.- Nothing
was found that the thief regarded as worth
stealing, of portable nature, Judge Catln
being absent from home. Last nights rob-
berry is the third event of that kind that has
occurred in the Catlin residence within
three weeks past All that Miss Rodgers
recalls is that the robber was tall man.
The rascal was apparently an old hand at
the business. as is indicated from the fact
he not only carried poisOn with him, but he
took care to open all the doors in order that
he might more readily escape in case Of de-

AT Martinez.

MARTINEZ, Sept 23.-The thirty-frst an
nual fair Of Contra Costa County Agricul-
tural District, No. %, has been in progress
all this week. The attendance has been
steadily increasing and the number Of eX-
hibits is also large. The display Of fruit
and produce OF the county, although not as
large and varied as in previous years, is very
creditable. The exhibition of horses. cattle,
hogs and sheep is very small; In fact very
little interest seems to be taken by the
stockmen in the fair this year. A number
Of improvements have been made and bet
Ter accommodation provided, but producers
and breBdprS do not seem TO care to make
display. The Tace-tTack is in fine condition
and the races so far have been excellent.
The attendance to-day was much larger
than at any time this week. Tomorrow
will be 'children'S day." and a large crowd
is expected. The stock parade will take
place at 10 o'clock in the morning. On
Friday the annual address will be delivered
by L. w. Davis Of Santa Rosa, Master of
the State Grange.
The races to-day were for the two-year-
old stake and the free-fgr-all in the 40
class. The two-year-old race was between
Cook Harms chestnut mare Lurline, by
SteinWay, and j. Durham's bay mare Glide
away, by Conductor. 1t was the best race
for the class ever seen on the track, the two
ANNALS travelling around the course almost
like double team until near the wire, when
Lurline went forward, winning both heats
and the race. Time, 2:45-2:48A
For the free-fOr-all race there were four
entries, j. C. Galinder's brown stallion Alb
bottsford Jr., A. B. Tennent's bay gelding
Aloha, H. G. Cox's bay mare Hattie B, and
W. NJ. Johnson's grey gclding Tom. The
race and first money was won by AbbOtts-
ford Jr. in three straight heats, never being
