Two Rigs Destroyed and a Valuable Colt
Fatally Injured.
NAPA, Feb 13.-There was an exciting
runaway and collision on First street, in the
business portion OF the town, about o'clock
yesterday afternoon, and as a result valu-
able horse was badly injured.
One OF John McCoUd's colts, which was
being unhitched in front Of John BradPs
horsesh9eing- In order that the animal
might be sh0d, broke away from the two
men who were holding 1t. The frightened
animal dashed down First street. and when
in front Of Alden & Co. store eollided with
Or. POrter's horse and buggy. The doctor
had just that minute turned the Main-stTeet
corner. Seeing the runaway and that col
lisiOn was unavoidable, he leaped 10 the
ground. and thus probably escaped serious
injury 10 himself.
The two rigs met with terrific force.

from which the blood flowed freely, and
horses and rig were mixed mp indscrimi-

crowd could eXtricate the herses from the
debris Of the wreck. Both the suky and
buggy were badly broken. Dr. Porter's
horse will soon be all right again, but the
runaway colt will probably die.

PROPOSED CHANGES.
improvements to Be Made in The Railroad
Buildings al Sacramento,

SACRAMENTO. Feb. 13-The Bee states
that the Southern Pacific Railroad Com
Dany contemplate making many changes
IN its property here. 4 new bridge across
tire river will be built and as soon as
IL is completed it is proposed TO remove the
railroad passenger depot to another site,
which has not yet been fully decided upon,
but which very probably will cover the
situation of the Railroad Hospital at
Twelfth and ID streets. IL may be th at the
present depot will be removed in sections
and become part of the new structure, or
it may be that it will be allowed to stand
where it is and be converted into new roll
ing-mills or railroad shops, which of late
years have grown in importance.
The new depot will be a splendid build
ing and Of dimensions far in excess of the
present one.
The Railroad Hospital will be transferred
to another part of the city-very likely to
the block owned by Senator Stanford on +
street, near Agricultural Park and by him
used for many years as stables for his
horses.
The freight-sheds will remain where they
are on Front street, and the change of the
passenger depot site will not affect the
wholesale business quarter of the city.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1S-The dreaded

Already ftty-seyen people are down with

The typhus scourge upon which the
Board of Health stumbled yesterday is in

respected Their Dead Fathers Wishe,

SANTA Rosa, Feb. 13.-The sons and
daughters of the late T. B. Miller. whose
death occurred a short time ago. knew it to
be the desire of their father to leave his
entire estate to his wife. A will to that
effect was to have been made, but it was
neglected.
Under the law the children were entitled
to one-half Of the estate and the widow to
the other half, but the children, as true to
the wishes of their father after death as
they were before, had deeds made out con-
veYng all the property to their mother.
Thus there viii be no contest and the chill
dren will have the blessed consciousness of
respecting the desires of their father in the
disposal of his estate, which has been APP
praised at S27, 0j3.
