There are some doubts as to that but it is
the most plausible theory. Eight of the
forward cars were derailed. but those in
the rear did not leave the track
As the produce and merchandise were
wanted in the city right away, and espe-
cially the meats, the doors of the refrig-
eratOr-cars we're early thrown open and the
meats carried down the hill on the shoulders
of stalwart butchers and placed in wagons
TO be conveyed TO the various markets Of
the city.
The hay which had already been un-
loaded was soon carted away.
A iorce Of hundred men were at work
on the wreck in a short time after the scci-

many rear cars as were on the track in the
rear of the Monterey freight and started to
get them to a side track about a mile and a

As she passed through the Bernal cut,
near the old st. Mary's College. the first
passenger train of the coast division uf the
Southern Pacific, which is due at 6:35 A. NJ
at Fourth and Townsend streets, came

The Strange Story of a Woman Ar
rested for Burglary.
Cunegunda Montijo, young and rather
attractive Mexican oman, was arrested at
Vallejo yesterday afternoon by Officer Egan
and brought to this city, where she was i'm
prisoned and charged with burglary The
complainant was Edgar Whteman, who ac-
cused the woman of having entered his room
at All Fourth street two or three days ago
and of having stolen some of his property.
The wOman's friends say tina. Whiteman,
who is patrOlmau of the Sailors Union,
lived with her, and had promised to marry
her.
He obtained marriage license last
September, but she postponed the ceremony
from lime TO time on account of his intem-
perance. and finally left him and secared
employment IN Vallejo.
She came to this city two days ago to OBJ
tain her clothes and found that a new lock
had been put on the door She broke open
the door and took her clothes and her
sewingmachine. She thinks that White
man had her arrested with view to COM
pellinG her to marry him.

A SHARP WOMAN.
How Widow Made Use of What
She Heard Railroad Men Say.

Cincinnati News Star.
a few years ago widow and her daugh-
ter were occupying a section in Pullman
sleeper on the Missouri Pacific Railroad.
The section next to this lady happened to
be occupied by a couple of the directors of
that railroad. The partition between the
two sections was so thin that it was not
difficult for conversation carried on in one
section to be heard in the other. The lady
traveller heard the two directors discussing
plan of consolidation whereby the stock
of the Missouri Pacific was bound to be
greatly enhanced in value. 1t was then
worth but TWO or three cents on the dollar.
She was on her return trip to her
home in Hartford. Conn. The conversation
OF the two directors preyed on her mind.
She revOlved it over and over again until
her home was reached, about which time
$1,000 note due her was redeemed She
sent for her attorney, detailed TO him the
conversation she had heard and said she was
almost resolved to invest the $4,000 in Mis-
souri, Pacific. The attorney, mistaking her
announced resolution for IRONY laughed,
but the woman Of wealth persisted.

shall have just as much to eat as | have
always had aud just as much to wear. If
the plans betrayed by these two directors
work out | shall make a good deal of money

The attorney obeyed tho instructions of
his client, invested the 5000. and in less
than n month the proposed consolidation
was consummated and the Hartford widow
realized for her 5000 Investment $3.50. 600
AT the first blush this incident is set down
as proof of luck, but there was no luck
about it. IL was simply an unexpected ex-
hibiti0n of what in WaIl-street vernacular
is termed nerve" on the part of quick
cared and quicker witted woman. Not one
person in 10000 would have given any heed
to the conversation referred to, and not one
of thousand who might have heard and
needed and who happened to have the
money, as the widow had it, would have
dared invest 1t. These incidents and illus
trations might be expanded until volumes
were filed. The evidence would be cumula-

MANSIONS SCHEME.
A TWenty-ACre California
for the Park.
He Wants to Reproduce the Entire
State in Miniature With Water
and Vegetation.

Marsden Manson has a~Great scheme for
the adOrnment of Golden Gate Park.
He proposes TO make there a miniature
California In relief that viii occupy about
twenty acres of room. The Park Commits
sioners ike the idea, but it would cost about
$4,000 and the project is still in the air.
My idea originally was 10 reproduce the
United States in miniature in the park, -
said Mr.. Manson to-day. but 1 found that
ii would require 100 much ground.
Water could be pumped from the ocean
TO flush The rivers ana lakes and to fill
the basin OF the tiny San Francisco Bay.
provided the ground chosen is near the
beach In buil1ing it, l would commence
with the Sierra Nevada Mountains and re-
produce them as nearly perfect as possible,
giving particular attention TO Y Yosemite Val

l would have Noun. Diablo leveed off on
The top when the coast range Is finished so
that a good brdseye view of Oakland
and San Francisco and the cities of the
bay can be had from its crest. Twenty feet
would be about the height OF Mount DiabIo
1t would not be impossible to plant in the
ground allotted to San Diego and Los
Angeles counties such plants and shrubs as
are INDIGENOUS to the semi-tTopical climate
of that section, while In Humboldt and Del
NOrte can be reared small specimens of the
redwood, ana Placer, III Dorado and
AmaGor might contribute fir. sprnce

Marin and SonOma will be shaded with
the manzanita and the spreading branches
of the oak. The great deserts of the south
ern part of the State and the granite heights
of lnyO could be easily fashioned in a sub
stantial manner. The Mojave could bristle
with cacti.
'Ihe weather would have the same effect
that 1t has on any garden. Our model
would be nothing more nor less than a
flower garden, and no more difficult TO con-
struct and keep in repair than ordinary

SHIPS FOR DEPORTATION.
Treasury Officials Getting Ready to

1t looks very much as though the Chinese
will have to go.
Only little more than month now re-

city may comply with the provisions of the
Geary law and register themselves. Should
every one OF them dlsobey the mandate of
the Six Companies tomorrow morning and
present themselves before General McComb

could be accommodated.
But there are no signs of break in the
ranks of the Mongolians. and the treasury
officials at Washington have evinced a de-
termination to stand by the action cf the
last Congress in the matter.
Hence wholesale deportation seems
per!l0usly near.
One of the things that seems 10 point TO
deportation Is that Spreckels Bros. have
been communicated with regarding the use
of one of their vessels by the Government
after the time for registration has expired.

The Labor of a Watch.

The little balance wheel of a watch
vibrates five times per second. Imagine
that this wheel, instead of swinging back
and forth like a pendulum, should roll on
continuously over given surface. It's cir
cumference in q gentlemen's watch of
ordinary size is 2A inches, and it makes q
sweep in each direction of about three
courlhs of its circumference. In other
words, it would traverse in ono second a
distance measuring about SB inches. Ac-
cording TO this computation the balance
wheel of a watch would travel in a year

up against the nerve filaments at the front
Of the canals. These are extremely sensi-

seems to establish an excessive irritation,
which is expressed by giddlness and vomit-

should afford relief, as the otoliths then
rest at the back and less sensitive part of

anniversary of the entry of Mr.. +. IL.
Hoose in business ut the Postoffice
Book Store in this city. He has
pushed the business in every honora-
ble way, and has been persistent ad-
vertiser, which, together with his
courteous treatment Of customers and
his reasonable prices, have been the
means of making the business what ii
is today. He has succeeded recently
in procuring the agency Of several
Of the best makes Of pianos and Or
gans, which In the future will add
largely to his steadily increasing busi-
ness. He has done q wonderful busi-
ness in the newspaper and periodical
subscription department. having taken
in over 200 subscriptions to different
kinds of papers amounting to 1886. GO,
and not one of these has failed TO
come to the subscriber. He has had
three prize contests which have been
the means of keeping up lively tr ade
even during dull seasons. His bust
ness represents large variety of lines
including books, stationery, sporting
goods, wallpaper, musical goods, sheet
music, artists materials, window
shades, bicycles, etc, spectacles, news
papers, pianos and organs. Anything
