special 10 tne RECORD-ONION.
SAN Francisco, May 16.-A few min
utes before 10 o'clock this morning Mrs.
Hannah Horgan, residing at 6l8 Eddy
street. was killed by falling girder on
Market street, few doors below City
Hall avenue. The girder weighed about
ton, and fell distance of fifteen feet
upon the sidewalk, striking Mrs. Horgan
in the side and killing her almost in
stantly.
witnesses say the accident was the
result of gross carelessness, and would
not have happened had the most ordinary
care been exercised in properly staying
and lashing the iron beam in place. The
building in course of erection is at 1880
Market street. 1t is one of the single
story structures which ornament that
side OF the street, and which, being in the
fire limits, are required to be put up with
pretense of stability. The girder was
raised upon the wall yesterday, and in
stead of properly securing it the work.
men merely left it resting on the brick
piers that have been built to receive it.
This morning they were engaged in
constructing a scaffold upon which to re-
sumo the brickwork, when, in throwing
the planks about, one of them struck the
heavy iron beam and knocked it off it's
supports. At this moment Mrs Horgan,
accompanied by her daughter, Mrs.
Ahern, was passing by. They saw the
beam falling, and Mrs. Ahern attempted
to drag her mother out of the way. She
only partially succeeded. The beam
struck her on the side and crushed her to
the sidewalk, breaking her back.
The injured woman was taken from be-
meath the beam as quickly as possible and
conveyed to the Receiving Hospital at the
new City Hall, where she expired few
moments atterward. The cries of Mrs.
Ahern, who became hysterical over the
calamity, were heard all over the hospital
Mr.. Ahern is employed in the store of the
Philadelphia Shoe Company. He was
telephoned for and took his wife home.
Mrs. Horgan was about 60 years of age.
John Mccarthy, the contractor, arrived
shortly after the accident. He said he
gave his foreman, man named Thomp-
son, orders to erect a fence around the
front of the building this morning, as re-
quired by law, but he had neglected to do
so. Had this been done the accident
would have been impossible.

The New Warship on Her Official
Trial Trip.
PHILADELPHIA, May 16.-The armored
cruiser New York is on her official trial
trip. With the rain falling in torrents.
she left the shipyards of the William
Cramp & Sons Company at IL o'clock this
mrrning. Not hitch of any kind at
tended her departure, and so methodical
was everything conducted that distin-
guished Russians who were on the battle
ship Indiana were in ecstacy of delight.
The cruiser dropped the lines of the
tugs as soon as the bow turned seaward.
and she proceeded maiestically down the
river under her owD steam. The salutes
of passing craft were returned by the
hoarse whistle of the cruiser, and the
officers and others on the huge craft
waved hats in response to the salutations
from shore. Four hundred persons were
aboard the cruiser, including the naval
Board of Inspectors appointed by the
Secretary of the Navy. Edward S.
Cramp is experimenting engineer in
charge of the trial, and Captain r. A.
Sargent commands the ship.
The New York has been stocked with
provisions for ten days, and has 1000
tons Of coal aboard. Sne looks every
inch fighter, and the fact that she has
been painted adds to her warlike appear
ance. With the exception of an added
length of fourteen feet to the three big
smokestacks, the general appearance of
the cruiser is the same as when she
started on her unofficial trial.
The official trial will consist of two
cruises over a measured course between
Cape Ann, Mass, and Cape Porpoise,
Me. Should she maintain the record
made on her unofficial trip she will earn
premiums of nearly 500, 900 for her
builders.

itate decision of the department to carry
out its long contemplated purpose of
sending new flagship to China. The

mediately to prepare for her foreign
