CAUSED BY A LAMP
The Residence of Major w. 1. Wallace
Burned Last Evening.

The Residence of Major w. L. Wallace
Burned Last Evening.
The two-story frame dwelling of Major
w. l. Wallace, in the block between
Sixth and Seventh, Q and p streets, was
almost gutted by fire and water last even
ing.
Alarms were turned in simultaneously
from boxes II and IL, and the engineer at
the Water Works being in quandary,
sounded No. IA on the whistle. The de-
partment easily located the fire, however,
as it brilliantly illumined the sky in the
vicinity.
In very short time three lines of hose
were stretched, and the firemen made
short work of the blaze. In the mean
time several persons ran into the lower
rooms in the house and succeeded in saw
ing some of the furniture.
The upper story was entirely con-
sumed, and the lower portion of the
dwelling badly damaged by fire and
water. The department worked with
venting the flames from communicating
to several houses and barns that were in
close proximity to the one burned.
The fire started in the upper story.
Mrs. Wallace and the children were
downstairs, when they heard something
fall on the floor overhead, and before
they had time to learn what had hap
pened, one Of the rooms was in flames.
Mrs. Wallace says there was a lighted
lamp on the table, and the probability is
that it exploded.
Major Wallace estimates his loss at
about $1,000 or $500. He is insured for
only $1,000.
Hundreds of people gathered at the
scene, and there was considerable con-
fusion in the streets and on the side
walks, the electric lights not having yet
been lighted.

IT WAS THE HEAT.
No Doubt as to the Cause of the
Railroad Accident.
An Investigation Shows That One of
the Rails Was Warped by
the Intense Heat.

Yesterday Messrs. Curtis and Wallace
of the Department of Maintenance of
Way of the Southern Pacific Company
made thorough inspection of the trestle
and track near Webster Station, where
Mondays sad accident occurred to the
San Francisco train. They reported the
result of the inquiry to Division Superin-
tendent Wilder at Oakland, through
whose department the California Pacific
branch is now managed
General Superintendent Fillmore also
visited the scene Of the disaster, and has
made a statement to the San Francisco
press, and it appears therefrom that the
accident was caused, as first supposed
by one of the rails having been sprung
by the intense heat that prevailed on that
day.
Il am of the opinion says Mr.. Fill
more, ''that the accident was caused by
the expansion of rail. Heat was TO
blame and nothing else, as far as 1 have
discovered. When rails expand SO much
that they touch at the ends and then keep
on swelling one of them bulges up at the
middle. y train passing over such q
bulged-up rail has tendency to push it
sideways, that being the only direction
in which it will give way This practi-
cally amounts to spreading of the rails
and lets the locomotive down on the ties.
I'm this accident the expanded rail was
Oft the treStle-wOrk, and ii was there that
the engine and cars were derailed. The
engine ran on the ties probably 700 feet
and for most Of the distance dragged the
train with it. The throwing Of the cars
from the trestle could have been avoided
if the engineer had Immediately reversed
his machine and tried his best to stop. If
this had been done the train would have
been stopped before it would have been
possible for a car to get over the guard
rail and into the ditch.
1.-THE engineer, however, is not to be
blamed, for when he felt the cars drag
| ging and realized that his engine was off
| the iron he made up his mind that the
trestle was going down. He did Just what
would have been proper under the cir
cumstances-pulled the throttle wide
open and put on the air brakes. His pur-
pose was to make the cars drag so heavily
that the engine, by an extra effort, could
break the coupling and get away from the
train to a place of safety. When the
coupling broke, though, the four cars
went off the treStle.
''No amount of track inspection could
have prevented the accident. The trestle
is new and strong, as is proved by the
fact thatiit stood the strain that was put
upon it, and does not now need repairs
The rails were also in good condition and
well laid. On the whole, the accident
was one of those unforeseen occurrences
that no power on earth could avert

AN OLD TRICK,
But Newly Played by a Low-Down
Thief.

But Newly Played by a Low-Down
Thief.
One of the many thieves in the city
yesterday played an old game at an M
street residence. He came to the front
door as ifin haste, and to the young lady
who answered the bell he brusquely
said:
81 want the sacks for the cokew
what sacks do you mean ?"
why, the sacks to bring the coke in
that has been ordered here"
Supposing the man to be coal-yard
employe, he was directed TO go to the
cellar and ask for the sacks of a servant
there, which he did, and went off with a
load sufficient to keep him in beer for a
day, at least.
Three hours later the rascal returned.
and was met by the same lady, and in
the same brusque manner lie exclaimed
to her:
''I've come for them coal oil cans"
"What cans?"
''Those in the basement"
What do you want them for?n
"A special purpose. It's all right"
''Well, you can't have them until the
master Of the house comes home" There
upon the thief ran TO the basement, seized
upon all the oil cans he could grasp. and
ran off by the rear yard entrance. He
was pursued a short distance but lodged
and escaped.
The fellow is known and the people OF
the house are resolved upon his capture.
The occupants of the residence are pre-
pared to identify him and unless he
has already skipped, the meanest kind OF
thief Will be Jugged presently.

when Mr.. Judd was Chief Engineer.
Did Judd bring any charges against
you, or run to the newspapers with the
yarn?" asked Daroux.
mo; he did not,' replied Renwick.
When Renwick had finished Daroux
announced that he would close his case,
unless the Trustees or Judd wanted to
hear some more testimony. II can get
500 witnesses if you want them, and will
give me time" he said.
All hands said they had heard enough.
Judd then denied that he had ever heard
anything about the valve from Renwick.
The latter had not reported the matter to
him.
Daroux next had himself sworn. He
wanted to say something in regard to that
valve. When he came on watch he did
not discover that anything was wrong,
but at o'clock in the morning when he
started the Holly pump, he found that
the valve was out. The next night Rem
wick told him that he had forgotten to
report it to him, but said he had told
Judd about it.
HAD HEARD ENOUGH.
Daroux then stated that he would
like to have the board investigate the
published charges alleged to have been
made by Judd, to the effect that there
was too much politics about the Water
Works, and that Daroux was the real
Superintendent, and not Mr. Conklin.
but Mr.. Judd says he didn't say all
that" said Mayor Comstock.
Well" said Daroux, 1--WE will put Mr..
Sheehan, the Bee reporter, on the stand,
and see what he says. l would like to
have Mr.. Sheehan sworn"
Attorney Baker objected and Mr.
Conklin said he did not care TO hear any
more testimony.
Trustee Mclaughlin thought that, mas
much as the charges had become public,
they should be investigated.
Mr.. Sheehan was then put on the wit
ness stand and testified that Engineer
Judd had said to him substantially all
that was published. He said he was not
unfriendly to either Judd or Daroux, and
did not solicit the interview
This closed the investigation, and after
Attorney Baker had made a statement in
Engineer Judd's behalf, Mr.. Conklin
moved that the charges be dismissed and
that Daroux be exonerated
Mr.. Mclaughlin seconded the motion
and it was carried unanimously.

VIVA FOR9"
A Remark that Brought Upon Chon
Long q HoodIumss Wrath,

%OHs 1t "raCns
Yesterday morning a Chinaman named
Chon Long, employed in a wash-house on
L street, between Third and Fourth, came
into the Police Station with blood flowing
from two ugly wounds in his face One
was on the left cheek, and the other on the
right side of the head about three inches
above the eye. City Physician Nichols
was summoned and dressed the wounds.
The assault, it appears. was committed
by white man, whose name the police
could not learn at the time. He and two
companions were passing by the wash
house, when he took a notion to throw
a missile into the house. 1t struck and
broke a crOckery bowl, and the China
man came out TO demonstrate with the
man. The latter drew a pistol and struck
him two blows with the butt end of it,
knocking him down. Both blows lace
rated the flesh.
A complaint was sworn to charging
John Doe with battery, and the police
were hunting for him at last accounts.
1t is said that the wieIder of the pistol
was one of the special officers in the en-
plOy of the State Capitol Commissioners,
whose appointment last winter was sur
prise in political circles, as several reputa-
bic citizens were urged for the place by
the leaders of the Republican party. His
name is Charles McCarty, aud one of his
companions is named Green. Another
report is that one of McCarty's associates
hit the Chinaman. But whichever of the
trio it was, the police should have no
difficulty in finding him-indeed, they
should all be held to account for the as
sault.
After the assault upon the Chinaman
the same parties beat defenseless China
woman.
