what had been struck until he had
stopped the engine, which he did at
once. On getting down and going
around to the front end he found the
body of a man on the engine and a
lot of flour and meal. A moment
later Conductor Wagner, who was in
charge of the train, came forward.
The latter then ordered witness to
remain there until he CWagner) went
back to the station, and later, upon
receiving a signal from the conduc-

sary fiagman having been previously
sent to protect the train. Witness
then gave testimona as to the plac-
ing of the bodies in the depot. Wit
ness further stated that the train was
running at from 40 to As miles per
hour and that he had whistled for the
crossing and that the fireman was
ringing the bell.
Fireman Paul A. Buissno, who was
also in the cab at the time, gave cor

AN OLD LANDMARK
Young Americas Engine
House Abandoned.
ITS ROLL OF VOLUNTEERS.
1t Was Once and for Many Years the
n.o Only Defense Against Fire in
the Mission.

On the north side of Sixteenth street. he
tween Valencia and Guerrero, is rather a
picturesque old stone structure that has
seen its best days and will soon sea its
very last days.
1t is the old engine house that once shell
tered the engine and reel and other para
phernalia belonging to the first Mission
volunteer hre company. Subsequently the
paid Fire Department occupied it for a
number OF years until the floors began to
give way and the old building showed such
Signs OF physical decay interiorly that the
department wisely gave over the structure
TO the rats and cobwebs. and finally deter
mined TO tear it down and build a new
engine-house.
And when they do tear it down one of
the landmarks of Mission Dolores will dis
appear. Among the archives in the Ex-
empt Company's quarters on Brenham
place. opposite the Plaza, is silver trowel

James McGinn'S Will Denied Pro.
bate by the Supreme Court.
The Supreme. Court has affirmed the
Judgment of the lower court in the case of
James McGinn.
1t appears that McGinn, who died in
San Francisco on February g. 1888. left a
Will bearing date of September 26 1887, by
which be bequeathed the whole of his es-
tate. valued at over S60.0O0 10 his widow
and children by second marriage, max
Ing no provision whatever for the six chill
dren he had by his first wife.
1he will was contested on the ground
that undue influence had been brought to
bear on McGnn to cause him to execute
such will, and that McGinn was not of
sound and diSposing mind at the time he
executed that will.
1t was shown that prior to August 8.
1887. McGinn, who was of very iTaseible
disposition and excltable temperament,
complained often Of pains in the head lhat
almost drove him frantic, and on August
3, 1887, he was seized with a paralytie
stroke from which he never entirely recOy-
cred to the day of his DEATH
The court decided on the evidence pre-
sented that McGlnn was not of sound
mind at the time. and denied probate of
the will. An appeal was taken to the Su.
preme Court from this decision, and from
an order denying a motion for a new trial.

A CLOGGEE SEWER.
A Timber Jam Causes the Sewerage

During the last winter the sewers on the
lower END of Market and adjacent streets
overdOwed at the manholes, causing con-
siderable damage and inconvenience The
examination conducted by the engine 70 rs
to devise a system of sewerage showed
the cause of this to be a ver.able timber
jam within sixty feet of the large outfall of
this district at the west end of the WASH

The timber forming this obstruction
was lOosened from the Clay-sireet sewer.
and fioated into the firstangle. catching on
