was lent to the information just impaired
by the explanation that the second of the
two collisions referred to was due to the
driver of one of the engines, reliable SER
want noted for his alertness and precision,
with an honorable record of some forty
years service, who being, it was believed,
so disturbed over the 'omens" of the first
occurrence and so engrOSsed with what he
felt would be two other catastrophes,
committed the slight error of judgment
which caused his locomotive to crash into
another coming in an opposite direction.
The statement is given as the conviction
of one who has spent upward of quarter
of a century among railway men of all
classes, and who has known the driver al
luded to for long period of years. So
came about second collision. Surely SUI
perstltion could go no further thai. this
But here is tragic seQuel-a sequel
which, unfortuna tely, will in all probable
ity do much to strengthen tho reprehensi-
Bile beliefs Of these men. Two days after
the interview above mentioned, within
fifteen minutes drive from the scene of
the first collision, an express mail failed to
take the points, portion of the train with
the tender of the engine was violently
thrown across the rails and one poor stoker
killed.. This is what the railway men will
term their third mishap." ''ghere's the
third" they say, and now pfhaps they

were present to encourage the various

cheering, in which the university yell
generally predominated.
A strong wind from the bay had some
effect onthe playing. for though it was lot
often that the ball got above the heads of

4 CAREER ENDED.
Captain w. Sweasey Dies
in This City.
He Passes Away at a Ripe Old Age
After Remarkable Life-His
Large Family. ~

-. .
Captain w. j. Sweasey, who was identi-
fed with the growth of Humboldt County
and witt various movements in early days
in California, died early yesterday morn
ing at his city home, 1904 Haight street.
He was 81 years of age.
Captain Sweasey was born in London,
England, and when q years of age he as
sumed command of a trading vessel sail
in to the West Indies. He came to Amer
lea and settled In the New Harmony COL
ony, whence he came across the plains in
1850 to California. After his arrival in
this tate he went 10 live in Mokelumne
with his young family, and shortly after
ward moved to Redwood City, where he
lad received the title OF "Squatter King"
He was champion of the sQuatters, and in
return the people elected him to the Legis-
latIre in 1852. Riots anu continued troI-
bes were the outcome of this stand against
| the Spaniards and their grants, and event
| ually every squatter had to leave San Ma
| teO County.
| About 1854 Captain Sweasey journeyed
northward through the Sonoma Valley,
| on through Mendocin0 County wilds TO
| humboldt County. There were no roads,
| in many places no trails, and so rough
was the country through which Sweasey
travelled that he often remarked 1t wss O
more trying journey from San Francisco
to Humboldt than from Indiana 10 Cali
fornia. Accompanying him was his family,
all of the children being young and
tender, which added still more to the trials
of his trip. In 1858 he moved into Eel
River Valley, and four years later founded
the largest retail grocery business outside
OF this city.
Through his efforts mainly the Eureka
and Eel River Railroad was built and
sustained. He built the steamer Humboldt
ana managed her for many years.
His interests grew with the years, and
he became part owner of many schooners
plying between San Francisco and Eureka,
secured shares in enterprises in Humboldt
and Sau Francisco and acquired extensive
tracts OF land.
he was member of the constitutional
convention in 1879.
Captain Sweasey left large family TO
mourn him. He had TWO sons and three
daughters, twenty grandchildren ana four
teen decentralization. aud be leaves a
widow also. Four years ago he retired
from business and came to live ia San
Francisco.

PRESS CENSORSHIP.
An Austrian Editor Who Came to

An amusing story of the thoroughness

these lines: AFTER carefully perusins

selves consider it to be perfectly Innocent.

sake as we'll as our own to have our news

FREE RIDES FOR TRAr1PS.
Five Hundred Men Coming to This
City From the North.


Passengers on trains arriving from the
North assert that there are fully 500 unem-
ployed men between here and Siskiyou
who are making their way to this city. 1t
is also said that the Southern Pacific Com
pany is allowing these men to ride on the
regular freight and passenger trains, and
in some instances are putting empty box
cars on the regular freight trains to accom-
modate the tramps.
Attorney Edward N. Deadly of Portland
and Calvert Meade of this city arrived
here from the north on Friday night, and
both gentlemen say that fully 500 idle men
are beating their way to this city.

superintendent that the railroad company
was allowing the men 10 ride on the trains,
and even furnishing them with empty cars
in order to get them to the city.
The reason given was that the tramps
had threatened to burn all the wood be-
longing TO the railroad company unless
they were allowed to ride.

tackled and downed. scoring two points in
favor of the '94 classmen.
The ball was carried back to the 25-yard

His Address on Finance Last Night
Before the San Francisco
Industrial Legion.

M. Y. 10y Of Siskiyou addressed an
open meeting of the San Francisco Indus
trial Legion on the leading topics of the
day in Mozart Hall last night. He re-
viewed the events attending the present
strained condition of financial affairs, and
proceeded to point out the causes leading
to 1t, and also to assign remedy. He
thought that the past and present policy
of tho Government in matters of finance
could be held accountable for the financial
woes OF the country, and asserted that the
people should provide the remedy by Sc
lecting men for our legislative councils
who would make laws for the benefit of
working people as we'll as for CAPITALISTS.
The national ban king system was brought
mistaken policy of the Government.
1T is a crime," said Mr.. 10y, ''for this
Government to pay cent of interest for

shape oflloans, they should be allowed to

individuals should be equally favored if
they furnish good and sufficient security.
The financial stringency is due to the
policy of the Government in the matter of
the coinage of silver, and because it sees

classes, which are after all the backbone Of
the nation. The sporting club of Wall street

CAN SINK ANY IRONCLAD.

Captain Edward L. G. Zalinski, Fifth
United States Artillery. has returned to
his rost at the Preside after an absence
of over year, during which period he has
passed considerable time in Europe.
Captain Zalinski. though conspicuously
identified with army reform treasures. is
best known on account of his connection
with the celebrated pneumatic gun, which
discharges dynamite cartridges with most
destructive consequences to any objec hit
: "By June next" Captain Zalinskf said
yesterday, "three of these guns will be
sent to this coast and three 10 Sandy
Hook. The three for California will be
mounted on the bluffs outside the heads.
Next summer series of complete expert
ments will be made on both seaboards
with these guns, when they win be most
thoroughly tested. :.
The dynamite gun is the invention of
Mr. Mefford Of Ohio, developed and made
practicable by CAPTAIN Zaiinski and
originally manufactured Ivy the Pneum attic
Gun Company of New York. The original
gun of this system was of 2-inch caliber.
