and three Baltimore & Ohio tracks form
an angle. When the West Newton accom-

dinkey engine hauling a big train OF empty
cars came up at full speed and plunged
into the passenger train. The engine
crashed into the middle coach and drove II
off the line. turned it bottom upward and
hurled it to the creek bank below. where
1t landed on its top, with trucks upper
most. The rear coach was thrown upon its
side, and the ten or twelve passengers in II
made their escape from the windows above
them. The car took fire and, while work
men rushed from all departments of the
Edgar Thomson steel works, those wedged
in among the ruins were suffering intense
agonies of terror lest they should be
burned. Fortunately, however, all were
rescued before the flames reached them.
The injured were removed to the hospital
and everything done to alleviate their suf-
fering.
The cause of the wreck is yet a matter
Of uncertainty. 1t will be thoroughly in
vestigated by the railroad officials. Dodds,
the Waterman, says he showed the red

Won n premium of $500. 600.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 19.--An official
of the Union iron works states that up TO
the time the new cruiser Olympia left port
on the first attempt at a trial run the
cruiser had cost the builders 81, 300 above the
contract price. 81, 79s. 900. and there still re-
manned over 500. 00 for the contractor to
expend for furniture, deck smoothing,
mounting turret guns and giving final
touches. Then, too. the breaking of the
pump bolt on the first official trip caused
an expenditure of $4,000 more by the build
ers. The builders now estimate, however,
that the cruisers remarkable speed in ex-
cess of the contract requirements has won
a premium Of probably 100000. so there
will really be a handsome profit.

SAW A A LIGHT.
People of an Ohio Town Puzzled Over q
Phenomenon i'm the Heavens.

FINDLAY, o., Dec. 19.-The people Of this
place saw a phenomenon last night. Almost
due west in the sky appeared a column Of
intense light reaching almost to the zenith.
1t was unwaering and stood out in daz-
zling b~rilliancy against the dark sky. An
other strange feature of the occurrence was
that the column extended from a mass Of
Pickering light at the horizon, from which
occasional sparks or meteors would seem
to shoot out. The base began to disappear
In about thirty minutes and the top of the
column was the last to fade away. Being in
the sky due west 1T Is not probable that
1t was the aurora borealis.

The vote, which was one of the heaviest
ever poled In the city, shows a decided
Republican gain. The Democracy carried
the city by $4,000 in the last presidential
election, and in the county election, last
month, several of the Democratic candi-
dates had majorities of 1900 in the city,
which were only overcome by the Repub-
lican vote in the county.
The weather to-day was all that could be
desired for an election day, and the full
vote Of both parties was polled. In several
Of the downtown wards, where the heavy
l~odging-house vote resides, the contest was
very bitter, and scraps" were of frequent
occurrence when the police were not at
hand. In all other portions of the city the
voting progressed without incident.
The jury in the Coughlin trial did not
vote. The members of the jury peered from
the windows Of their warm room in the
Revere House early in the morning, and
concluded IL was too frosty a Journey TO
the polls. The entire twelve men would
have been compelled to make a round of
the city in order that each might vote.
Only In one instance could two have voted
at the same polling place. The jury in the
Prendergast trial Jared a little better. Such
chhOC VI d. CdItu 10 vote were allowed
to do so by being accompanied 10 the poll
ing place by bailiffs. Seven of them voted,
the remainder being kept at the hotel.
Late tonight the Republican city central
ommitte decided to contest the election of
Hopkins. 1t is claimed that the police re-
turns, on which the above returns are based,
show 600 more for Hopkins than were &C
tually cast. 1t is claimed by the
that an honest official count will give the
election TO Swift. Even If Swift is not
seated, the Republicans claimed 10 be salts

OF the last mayoralty campaign. when Car
ter H.. Harrison's majority over Allerton
was Is, 100. The Democrats are jubilant over
their victory.
Chief Of Police Brennan. just before mid
night. issued an order to all captains and
lieutenants of police. instructing them to
have all judges of election report at once
at the City Hall in person. bringing their
ballot boxes with them. The judges IN the
outlying districts paid no attention 10 the
order. but those in the downtown precincts
came dragging their boxes into the City
Hall shortly before L O'Clock. Chief Clerk
Taylor, OF the board OF election commits
sioners. was taken entirely by surprise by
the order OF Chief Brennan. and declared
thai he knew no reason why such order
should be issued. nor any reason why the
boxes should be brought to the City Hall,

How Express Messenger Richard

Five Bullets Fired Into His Body-Chi-

of $+,000-0ther Crimes.

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 19.-Train robbers
last night boarded the east-bound Southern
Pacific train which left Houston. Tex, for
New Orleans at 10 o'clock, and which ar
rived here at noon to-day. The robbers shot
and killed the express messenger, John c..
Richardson, and managed to escape with
several money packages. containing an un-
known amount. The robbery occurred some
where between Houston and Dayton, Tex,
but the actual point where the outrage was
cannot be stated. Messenger
Richardson was undoubtedly shot from be-
hind while at his desk, for there was a
large bullet hole in the rear of the skull
when the body was found, and his form
was lying on the floor of the car at the side
Of the chair which he always occupied. 1t
is presumed that after the first shot was
fired into the head of the messenger he
fell to the floor, and the robbers thereupon
turned over the body and fired four more
shots into the inanimate form in order to
make sure of their work. They then pried
open a small safe with a Ratchet and took
such of it's contents as they could con-
veniently carry. leaving several bags Of
silver in the safe.

During the night recently coyote
came up to the ranch house of D. S.
Thomas, near Arizola, where the
families of the men employed on the
ranch, Samuel West and Manuel Ma
rino, were sleeping out of doors, the
West family on the east side of the
building, the Marino family on the
north. The tracks of the animal
showed that it passed the cot where
the Vests were sleeping. Going to
the north side the voracious beast
seized by the arm a little girl about
six years of age, dragged her from the
cot and around the house i'll the direc-
ton whence he came,
The outcries of the child quickly
aroused every one, and they were not
long in determining the cause. Mr..
West ran into the house and got pis-
tol. As he came out OF the door Mrs
West called that the beast was passing
her cot. The cries of the child, how
ever, were sufficient to locate its
whereabouts. Going close Mr.. West
placed the muzzle of the pistol against
the beasts side and fred The ami
NAL released its hold and fell dead.
The child was severely bitten and her
face was considerably bruised from
contact with the ground as she was
being dragged. -Arizola (Cal Oasis.
