Notes.

The passengers on the Santa Fe train
which left here Monday morning at s &c
for San Bernardino had narrow es.
cape from being in terrible catastro-
phe. A freight train had preceded the
passenger, and was switching in Pasa-
dena as the latter was approaching Gar
vanza. While this was going on, tour
cars loaded with lumber and freight
broke away, and, rapidly acquiring mo-
mentum, commenced descending the
grade toward this city and the passen-
ger train. The engineer and brake
man rose to the situation at once, and
set out in pursuit. 1t was an exciting
race, the cars were heavily loaded and
rapidly gained way, and the engineer
had to ..throw her wide open," and at
one time despaired OF catching the cars.
Just east of Lincoln Park, however, the
engine caught up with the cars. and
coming within jumping distance, the
brakeman leaped onto the first car, and
setting the brakes on all four of them
brought them to a standstill, just in
time to prevent their collision with the
passenger train, which was just about
to leave Garvanza.
