D = o. BRAKEMAN KILLED.

One More Unfortunate GONE TO His Doom.
Edward F. Wolfensberger, brake
man and extra conductor on the local
freight on the Somerset and Cambria
branch of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad, was so frightfully injured
yesterday afternoon at Somerset that
he died in a few hours.
The freight on which he was brak-
ing was standing at the station, and
the passenger train pulled up. The
freight parted to allow the passengers
right of way. After the passenger
train departed the freight was backed
together, and Wolfensberger attempt
ed to make the coupling. His foot
slipped ON the rail and he fell across
the track. The wheels Of the car ran
over his body diagonally from left to
right, cutting off both legs, smashing
the lower part Of the right side Of his
body, and severing the right arm
about the elbow.
All who witnessed the accident were
paralyzed with horror, but in mo-
ment the trainmen set to work gather
ing the mutilated parts together, and
they were at once put on board an en-
CINE and taken to lockwood, the un-
fortunate mans home.
Wolfensberger lived until ten min
utes after ii o'clock. He was con
scious until within twenty minutes Of
his death aud talked freely about the
accident. It was his opinion that the
mishap was occasioned by his gum
shoes catching on the rail.
Deceased was son Of David Wolf
ensberger, proprietor Of the lockwood
Ehouse. He was about % years Of age
and had wife but no children.

REDONDO BEACH.
FOUNDED SINCE THE COLLAPSE OF
THE BOOM.
The Work of Manufacturing a City Going
Steadily On--A Model Seaport and
Pleasure Resort, Backed by
Abundant Finances.

Redondo Beach has been founded
since the collapse OF the great boom in
Southern California. There has been at
no time here any inflated or fictitious
schemes, but the work of manufactur-
ing city has gone steadily forward.
That nature has kindly prepared the
way for seaport and city is made clear
when we take cursory glance at the
geographical and Typographical facts
presented. Geographically this ls the
natural gateway from the sea to the
large and growing city of Los Angeles,
on account of its proximity, and more
patent still, the wonderful formation of
the ocean bed right in our front. A
deep csfion is traced from the location of
Redondo wharf sheer out to the deep
sea. The bottom is firm and not SUBJ
ject to change by reason of the shift
ing sand. The sea end of the piers
as now completed, shows depth at low
tide of ffty-three feet. With such q
condition of the water front, what is
there to prevent this being port for
the largest ocean vessels? That it is
already properly appreciated by the sea-
going people is made manifest by the
fact that marine traffic OF both sail and
steam vessels is steadily increasing.
All the steamers of the Pacific Coast
Steamship company's southern line
stop regularly at Redondo.
The Atlantic and Pacific steamship
line between New York and San Fran
cisco makes this port the entrepot for
Southern California. The initial steam
er. the Progress, is now en- route from
New York, and will soon arrive at our
dock to discharge large consignmenta for
Los Angeles. Sailing vessels of all
descriptions found on this coast come in
here to discharge their burdens. Their
principal traffic heretofore has been in
lumber, ties, coal and heavy iron work.
The town was incorporated as a city
the 18th of April last. when board Of
trustees, treasurer, marshal and city
clerk were elected.
The number Of inhabitants at that
time within the city limits was 1900
more or less, and the incorporation
seems to have acted as an impetus to-
ward the building up and settling OF the
place.
The frat really important work pro-
iected by the Beach company were nat

SAN PEDRO.
A BRIGHT DESCRIPTION OF THI
BUSY SEAPORT.
The Charms of Ocean Views and En-
couraging Increase of Commerce.
Bonds to Be Issued for
Street Improvements.

The Bay of San Pedro is an exact du-
plicate in every particular of that justly
praised marine picture, the Bay of Ma
pies, except that it is, like everything
else on the American continent, on a
vastly enlarged scale. 1t is not a land
locked harbor, however, but it furnishes
an anchorage ample for the navies of
the world, sure and safe at all times.
What is known as the timer harbor"
is the narrow estuary or inlet putting
into the shore on the westerly side of
the bay between the San Pedro head
lands and Dead Mans island. The
channel at its mouth is only about $50
feet wide, but continually broadens
until, at a distance inland OF two and a
half miles, it has become an estuary
covering many thousand acres, needing
only the judicious expenditure by the
government of reasonable sum to make
1t land-locked and perfectly protected
body of water. thirty feet deep
at low water, and susceptible of
furnishing system of docks as
much greater than the famous
Liverpool docks as the latter is superior
to the system at Redondo today. 1t is
only about twelve years eince the grow
ing needs of commerce and the pressure
OF competition induced the Southern
Pacific Railroad company to extend its
line from Wilmington down the west
side of the channel to San Pedro. at
which place the large wharves and
warehouses are now located. This re-
suited in complete transfer of shipping
business, and San Pedro became at once
live seaport town.
At that time the depth of water on
the bar was variable and between one
and two feet at mean low water. The
bar was bare sometimes at spring tide
low water. A few days since a vessel
drawing 13 feet inches came in over
the bar at spring tide low water, show
ing an increase due to the improvements
of twelve feet; adding the tide
vessels now enter drawing 16, and,
at times, Is feet draft. 1t is
certain tina. with the work to be done
with the trif1ing appropriation just
made by congress the entrance will be
easy Tor ships drawing 20 feet at low
water. This harbor is now the CONNER
cial outlet Of the principal portion Of
Southern Callfornis and Arisona. The
