THE SEA HIS MURDERER
Fisherman Riley Pounded TO
Death on the Rocks.

Pursuant to instructions from the Cor
oner, Constable c. NJ. Stetson spent New
Years day investigating the death Of the
fisherman, Riley, who was found dead on
the beach near Point Iona. The result Of
his investigations, says the San Diego
Union. is best told in The statement OF
Riley's partner, who was with him at the
time the boat was swamped. Ii is as fol-
lows:
4 have known Riley ever since we were
boys. After his discharge from the navy
he came to my place and engaged in fishing
with me- Wednesday we were returning
from Coronado Islands. About daylight
we were off Point Iona; it was very thick
outside and We could not see but two or
three boat lengths ahead. | heard the roar
Of the surf aud told Riley, who had the
helm, that he was too far north, and we
changed places, he taking the ropes. | then
stood away on another tack to avoid the
kelp, but too late AS We run into it we
dropped the sail and tried TO catch the kelp
with our hands TO stop the boat but we had
too much Roadway, and the wind blowing
strong on shore drove US further into the
mass. When we saw the boat was bound
TO 20 over, Riley, who was a splendid
swimmer, began taking off his clothing, and
succeeded in getting off his rubber boots and
oYeTcOat as the boat swamped. l cannot
swim a stroke, and as We went over
grabbed the oars and at the same time held
on to the side Of the boat. Riley struck out
through the waves for shore and yelled at
him to take an oar, but he replied
that he could make it all right. and
for me to keep them, as | could not
swim. / put one under each arm and
padded away in the direction taken by
Riley, who was then out Of sight in the fog.
A terrible sea was running, and after
reached shallow water the surf would pick
me up and dash me on the beach, knocking
me almost sepseles. | finally managed to
crawl nearly to the lighthouse, where
Keeper Israel found me, almost dead, and,
carrying me to his house, finally succeeded
in restoring me-"
Riley had evidently made for the point of
rocks iutting ont from the extremity OF Point
Iona, on which ordinarily n moderately
good footing can be secured, but, unfOrtu-
nately, that morning a wild sea was run
ming over them. and he had been dashed
against them and literally pounded to death
after being cast upon the beach. The blood
had scarcely ceased oozing from his wounds

ON A FAST TRAIN.
The Rather Exciting Experience of q
Commercial Traveller.

The Rather Exciting Experience of a
Commercial Traveller.
The speed Of the Empire State express is
responsible for many incidents which would
probably not come to light in the case Of
other trains. The latest is the exciting ride
of a commercial traveller from Rochester to
Buffalo.
The gentleman in question arrived at the
station just in time TO purchase ticket and
rush to the train-room door to see the heavy
train pulling out. He ran across the tracks
and succeeded in catching the rear platform
of the last coach. He expected, of course.
to secure an entrance to the coach, but he
was disappointed. The vestbuled platform
was secure against his efforts 10 get in, and
as it was the last coach and there was no
occasion for the conductor or any other per-
son 10 enter that vestibule, his presence was
not discovered.
The noise of the train prevented him from
making himself heard. The speed was too
great 10 permit him to get off; he soon re-
allied that he was in such the same prediea-
ment as the careless spectator who allows
his feet TO became entangled in the ropes
at a balloon ascension. The train does not
stop at Batavia. and the commercial trav-
eler was obliged to "h0ld on for dear life"
for an hour and a quarter as the fastest train
in the world whisked him across the cOun-
try in dangerous proximity to switch bars,
stationary freight cars and passing trains

Over Two Thousand Were Built in the

From the returns of locomotive building
by the private shops - that is, all other

up to this date. the output is less than it
was last year. We can compare the prod
uct OF but thirteen works in the two years,
but these include all of the large works.
These show 2123 engines built in 1891,
against 22i0 in 1890, a falling off of little
less than per cent. This is better than
we had anticipated from the current re-
ports, which have generally been thai the
shops were slack.
The fact seemed to be that within the
last two or three years the capacity of the
private shops has increased so greatly that
what is now but very moderate business
for them would have kept them running
nights short time ago. All but three Of
the shops from which we have comparative
figures fell off this year and there were
special reasons why these three should have
increased their output. The total output of
fifteen works this year two of which did
not report last year, is 2300.-Railroad Ga

Prothonotary Newmyer, of the Supreme
Court, Yesterday received another lot of the
opinions handed down last Monday in Phil
adeiphia. Among the cases were those of
the appeals of the Commonwealth from
Common Pleas No. in the matter of the
assessment of mercantile tax on bottlers,
brewers, distillers and wholesale and retail
liquor dealers. The latter had appealed
from the assessment made by the Mercan-
tile Appraiser, and claimed that their
lice nse fee was all the State tax they would
be called upon to pay. The lower court
sustained their appeal The Supreme Court
affirmed the lower court, and Justice Will
Jams, in his opinion, said that the court be-
low had reached a correct conclusion.

SELECTING THE SITE.
The City May Be Able to Lease the

NOTHING DEFINITE HAS YET BEEN DONE

The report was circulated yesterday that
the city had leased a site for a new Central
station on the Oak Alley Reformed Presby-
terian Church property. The present Cen
tral station must be vacated April l.
But il is not settled by good deal that
the next Central station will be in the Oak
Alley Church. Mr.. Black, of Black &
Baird, the agents for the property, said yes
terdav shat the city authorities had been
negotiating to rent the church for term of
wears. but nothing definite had been
reached. The contract must first have the
approval of Councils before it becomes
final
Would Rather Sell Than Lease.
THE owner of the property, continued
Mr. Black, ''lives in the East, and he would
much rather sell it. The city couldn't buy,
because no appropriation had been made for
ii. If the owner can't sell, of course, he
will rent it as the next best thing. The po-
lice department got our terms. but they
must be approved bv Councils The church
property NAV vet be sold, and it is very
premature to say that it will be used for

Should the Oak alley property be secured
the question will arise, whether the city
will erect a new building or adapt the old
one to prison uses. The transaction is as
vet in such embryotic shape that nothing
definite on this end of it can be secured.
CITY officials differ somewhat on the ques-
tion of whether the erection of new build
ing the coming wear is feasible Mayor
Gourley, when asked about 1t yesterday,
said:
No Money for a New One.
"The erection of new Central station
building is entirely out of the question for
the coming wear There is no way to raise
the money necessary for such an improve
ment. A municipality, like an individual,
often wants more than it can have. We
ments next wear and $500, 600 on a new
Central station, but we haven't got the
money. / have not talked TO Chief Brown
on this subject, but L understand he has
not contemplated putting up new build
ing, but simply renting the place and using
the old church for police station"
Ii Chief Brown desires to erect new
police station" said Controller Morrow,
''he will have TO amend his estimates of
expenses before the Mayor sends them to
Councils. The Chief has asked for no
money TO build such a structure, only re-
QueSting S15 900 TO rent a suitable place.

well to pay for a new building next year as
the wear following"
Chief Brown is confined to his bed with a

day.
