RESULTED FATALLY.
Engineer James w. Hanford Dies of
His Injuries.


His Injuries.
James w. Hanford, the veteran en-
gineer of the Sacramento and Placerville
Railroad, will never again pilot train
over that road, which he had traversed
almost daily for thirty years, death
having resulted from the terrible
injuries he received by the accident
that occurred on Friday near Diamond
Springs, owing to his locomotive being
thrown from the track by coming in col
liSiOn with a COW.
When he was brought to the Railroad
Hospital on Friday evening it was not
thought that his injuries would prove
fatal, serious as they were known to be;
but he lived only during the night, pass
ing away early Oh the following morning.
His death is thought to have been caused
by the inhalation of steam, and not from
the exterior scalding of his body.
Deceased had passed almost lifetime
in service OH the Placeryille Railroad,
having been a fireman on that line in
1861. With the exception of a few years
he had been constantly in the employ of
the road. Prior to engaging in railroad
ing he was miner in the vicinity OF
Folsom, but abandoned that calling when
the placer diggings began to give out.
For several terms he was Chief Engineer
of the Pacific Division, Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers, and was honored
and respected by all his fellow-employes.
His family consists of his wife, four
sons and two daughters, all of whom are
grown. Mr.. Hanford was a man of un-
usually domestic habits. AS soon as he
returned from his daily run he went
straight to his home, where, in the So
ciety of his wife and children, he spent
all his unoccupied hours. His home life
was very happy, and his death leaves
aching hearts in that household where
but recently all was joy and sunshine.
Deceased was native of England and IS
years of age.
This afternoon, at O'CLOCK the funeral
will take place from the family residence
at Seventeenth and @ streets.

RAIDED AGAIN.
N. Zemansky's Store Once More
Visited by Thieves.
They Ransack His Safe, and Make a
Haul of Cheap Jewelry and
Some Coin.

Burglars broke into the Golden Rule
Bazaar store, kept by n. Zemansky on
the corner of Third and j streets, about
l:30 o'clock yesterday morning, and got
away with about $3.50 worth OF jewelry
and Sl45 in cash.
They obtained entrance by forcing the
double doors on the Third-street side of
the store, and finding the safe unlocked
easily secured the jewelry, which was
deposited therein.
Mr. Zemansky stated yesterday that
he had taken the cash drawer, containing
Sl45, from the safe and secreted it under a
pile OF wrapping paper in the office, but
the burglars discovered it aud took the
money.
The jewelry taken consisted of twenty
seven cheap watches, valued at $3.50, and
ten dozen rings, worth something over
Sl00, according TO their owners valuation.
The thieves also carried off an iron box
from the safe which contained notes and
papers representing several hundred dol
lars, but Zemansky does not think they
can dispose of the latter.
Special Officer May came along just as
the burglars emerged from the store and
gave chase, but they succeeded in eluding
him, running toward X street and thence
up the alley between and X to Fourth,
where they disappeared. May says he
could have shot the burglars as they ran
through Third street, but he dared not
shoot, as there were several pedestrians
in the way, and he was afraid of shooting
some innocent person.
1t seems to be very poor month with
Zemansky that he is not victimized in
some way by crooks, sneak-thieves or
sharpers. The haul made yesterday
morning, however, was about tho heav
lest that his place has suffered.

DIR. F. G. DURANT.
Sudden Death of Prominent Physf-
clan of Folsom.

The news of the death of DIR. T. G, Du-
rant of Folsom on Saturday morning,
from paralysis, came as sad surprise to
that gentleman's many friends in this
city and elsewhere, as he was generally
supposed to be in the enjoyment of ex-
cellent health. His more intimate friends:
however, were aware that he had long
been sufferer from kidney trouble.
The deceased had lived for many years
at Folsom, where he had wide practice
and the insidious stroke that caused his
death came upon him on Friday while in
attendance on one of his patients.
A few years ago DR.. Durant was ap-
pointed physician at Folsom Prison, and
from there ne went to San Quentin in the
same capacity, returning a year or more
since to his private practice at Folsom,
lie was gentleman universally esteemed
for his many excellent qualities, and es-
pecially in the community where he had
lived SO long he will be greatly missed.
Deceased was prominent in Masonic
and Knights of Pythias circles, and this
morning delegations from the Folsom
lodges of these orders will escort his re-
mains to Elk Grove, where the funeral
will take place at 2 O'Clock this afternoon.
that being the former home of Mrs, Du-
rant.

INGERSOLL'S DEPARTURE.
Rev. DIR. Koehne Delivers a Sermon
on the SkeDtic.

Rev. DIR. Koehne Delivers a Sermon
on the Skeptic.
Rev. DIR. Koehne delivered an able and
very interesting discourse at the Congre-
gational Church last evening, taking for
his topic IngersolPs New Departure"
or the famous agnostic's lectures on
Shakespeare.
DIR. Koehne said he did not wish to de-
nounce skepticism as bad thing, for he
recognized doubt and infidelity among the
essentials of progress, but he denounced
any effort on the part of agnostics or
skeptics to detract from the teachings of
the Bible.
He said Ingersoll had taken up Shake
speare in the place of God. He had done
good in sweeping from the church the un-
believers, but he failed in his attack upon
the Bible because he had arrayed himself
against fact, and stood forth as one man
against humanity, setting his foot upon
the human heart.
The pastor took his text proper from
the. sixth chapter of st. Mark, sixth
verse: And he marveled because of
their unbelief. And he went round about
the villagers teaching"
DR.. Koehne held his hearers in close at
tention, and made very impressive ar

SATURDAY NIGHT WHISKY.
1t Seems to Have Been Responsible
for a Cutting ARRAY.
William Rankin Assaulted on the Yolo
Bridge and Stabbed by
Morris Powers.

About half-past o'clock on Saturday
morning William Rankin. an engineer,
was attacked by man named Morris
Powers and stabbed in the side.
the knife struck Rankin on the left
side, near the stomach, entering several
inches and making an ugly cash. The
wound was not considered fatal, but is
a serious one.
A RECoRD-UNIoN reporter yesterday
interviewed Rankin, who rooms in
Washington. The latter said that he, in
company with a Washington saloon
keeper by the name of Patterson, started
over the bridge toward this city, but for
some reason they turned back and en-
countered Powers.
Powers was a stranger to Rankin, but
the latter he says addressed him in abus-
i've terms, and said he would "cut his
heart out 20 Powers was evidently
drunk, but not so much so as not to
know what he was doing, and when he
approached Rankin the latter says he
could have knocked him down, but de-
cided to catch his arms. He caught Pow
ers by the arm, but it seems the latter had
his knife ready, and Immediately struck
him.
After the cutting Powers remained on
the Yolo side until yesterday afternoon,
when he came over to Sacramento. He
was followed by Constable Frommelt,
who, together with Captain Bradley, ar
rested him about o'clock and locked
him up in the City Jail.
Rankin says he knows of no reason
why Powers should have attacked him,
and could give no explanation of the
affair.
Rankin lives in San Francisco, and has
lately been engaged in putting up ma
chinery at various places, working last
at bakersfield. He was summoned here
few days ago as witness in the Palmer
murder trial, and was soon to have re-
turned to San Francisco.

G.. Robinson.
Many sorrowing friends of Miss Clara
G. Robinson, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
E. /. Robinson of San Francisco, attended

the residence of Henry Burnham, at Sl9
l street. The services were conducted by
Rev. George A. Ottmann, rector of st.
PauPs Episcopal Church, and a choir

Mrs. Pinkham, Horace Crocker and
Richard Cohn rendered the music. The
pall-bearers were: Scott Ennis, Frank
Trainor, Clark Williams, John Vogei-
sang, William Howe and William Hen
bricks.
The wealth and beauty of floral offer
ings were significant of the love and
esteem in which the deceased young lady
was held in this community, where she
was born and reared. She was young
lady of singular loveliness of character.
and her death, coming as it does Just as
she was entering the threshold of woman
hood, is a sad blow to her parents,
relatives and friends.
