THE soLRDAD CANYON COLLISION.

The HERALD yesterday gave very
elaborate and detailed account Of the
railroad accident which occurred on
Wednesday night at the little station
town of Ravenna, in the Soledad cafion.
By this collision one Of the best known
and most valuable citizens of Los An
geles lost his life. Mr.. George R. Shatto
has lived here for about eight years,
and through his energy and enterprise
and his shrewd business sagacity
amasHed a considerable fortune. The
violent and sudden taking off of SO nota-
BILE citizen was naturally subject Of
general concern and earnest comment
yesterday. An inquest has been held into
the facts connected with his death, and
the verdict of the jury lays the blame
upon the absence of orders TO the train
which crashed into the cars at the sta
ton. This verdict is equivalent to lay
ing the blame nowhere. 1t seems there
is no rule requiring the notification
OF a train on time that there is delayed
train ahead but that it is usual for the
delayed train when occupying the track
to send out 1agman to warn the COM
ing train that the track is not clear, II
this rule were properly carried out there
could be no such accident as that which
occurred Wednesday night. But it ap-
pears from the evidence that the flagman
was either not sent back to signal the
coming train soon enough, or that he
did not 20 far enough so as to give the
engineer of the approaching train suffi-
cient time to stop it before the collision
took place. 1t seems to us that the cor
oner ought to have directed his inquiry
with particulsrity to this part of the
affair. 1t is evident that no collision
would have occurred had the oncoming
train been warned in time that the track
was occupied. The question is
therefore narrowed down to the inquiry
as to who is responsible for the
failure to do SO. There is where
the blame for the accident lies,
and the public ought to know who
is responsible for this breach of
duty, with its dreadful consequences.
OF course accidents will occur on rail-
roads for which no one can be justly
held responsible. 1t is enough that the
public should be subject to such risks.
But whenever avoidable accidents occur,
and valuable human lives are sacrificed
or imperiled, whoever is responsible for
them ought to be held to rigid account.
and carelessness, and to place the public
in constant and unnecessary peril.

have always shown for the day Of rest.
Timid and unthinking people may be
alarmed at seeing the worlds fair open
on Sunday, but their fears are ground
less. Though such action may have
great influence in banishing the Mosaic
and Puritan conceptions OF the Sabbath,
yet it will not be, as many fear, the
death-knell Of the Christian Sabbath.
II will rather be the ringing out of the
glad announcement that the Christian
Sabbath, baaed upon the teachings of
the Master, is beginning to be under
stood. and, as time goes by, it will be
found out that by 80 much as it is better
than the old conceptions by SO much

TURNER HALL.-Hon. @. @. Stephens
will deliver lecture on next Monday
evening under the auspices OF the Los
Angeles Liberal Union, on the subject OF
the life of General Tomas de Torque-
mada, the founder of the Spanish inqui-
sition. The subject and the lecturer
both will attract attention. Mr..
Stephens has been a member of the Cal

time member of the upper house OF
the Arizona Legislature, where he dis

abolition of riparian rights in that ter

WE ARE panied to announce the un-
looked-for death Of another citizen of
Los Angeles who has attained wide and
honorable distinction. Mr.. P. j. Flynn,
who officisted as assistant city engineer
during the past term, died last night
after very short illness. During the
past year or so he has labored very as
Hiduously in preparing book on hy-
draulic engineering. This work was re-
ceived with great favor by the profes-
sion, and has been pronounced one OF
the most exhaustive and valuable treat

Hon. JOHN II. WISE, who has received
the appointment of collector of the port
OF San Francisco, has thrown the num-
berless applicants for position under him
into CONSERVATION by declaring that he
will make no changes for the present.
He says that there are only six positions
OF Importance that he could make vacant
in any event, and he will be very delib-
crate in filling them, because, as he says,
it is easy enough to appoint men, but
very difficult to get rid of them il they
turn out to be incompetent. He says
that many of the places in the customs
department come under the civil service
rules, and he does not propose to ignore
those rules. As there are some 800 ap-
plications on file for positions, we may
we'll imagine that Mr.. Wise's pronuncia-
mento has come like thunderclsp from
clear sky upon the ardent hopes Of
these anxious walters.

SAN DIEGO, June 1.-The feast Of Cor
pus Christi was today celebrated at St.
Anthony's Indian school in the old mis-

pomp and solemnity than since the de-
parture of the mission fathers. The
exercises were conducted by Father
Parron, chaplain of the school, aided by
Father Ubach of this city. Three altare
which had been erected in the valley
were consecrated, the children of the
school participating in the ceremonies.

But They Did Not Love Each Other,
and Hence the Row on 7th Street.
Late last night when the lights in the
store windows were being lowered, and the
Christmas shoppers were fast disappearing
from the business streets, a young colored
man strolled leisurely along It'll street, be-
tween l. and M streets, and with him was
Susan Carter, a good looking young woman.
They walked along as lovers, wholly uncon-
scious Of the lateness Of the hour, and fall
ing to notice other pedestrians. Suddenly
they were stopped by Carrie Simms, another
young woman. who wanted to know why
her lover was out with another girl.
The man. it Is said used violence toward
Carrie, and then he deserted the women,
and left them to the tender mercy of the
crowd and the police. Policeman Scramlin
soon appeared on the scene, and he arrested
both women. This morning they appeared
in Judge KimbalPs court on a charge Of dis
orderly conduct, and Carrie justified her
conduct by saying, Pm engaged to the
man."
Then" said the Judge. you had some
provocation."
And SO am engaged to him." said Car
RE.
Under the circumstances the Judge said he
would not undertake to tell which one had
the greater provocation. and dismissed the
case.

CODINA GLORIFIEs PALLAs.
He Was Assigned to Kill Gen. CampO
but His Courage Failed.

but His Courage Failed.
BARCELONA, Dec. 23.-Jose Codina, the
anarchist who has already confessed that
he threw the bomb that caused upward of
thirty deaths in the Lyceum Tbeater, has
made a further confession, giving details
Of his crimes. He says that he was select
ed by an anarchist group to assassinate
Gen. Martinez de Campos in September
last He. in company with two or three
comrades, including Pallas, went to view
the march past Of the troops it being his
intention to assassinate Gen. De Campos,
who was the reviewing officer He took a
position from which 1t would have been an
easy task to have carried out his project
but when the troops arrived his courage
failed. The reason for this, he says, was
that he realized that II he threw bomb
amid the vast crowd that surrounded Gen.
De Campos he would have killed or wound
ed hundreds of persons. He had the bomb
ready to throw, but the thought of the
many innocent persons that would suffer
restrained him from throwing it. Pallas
as the time set for the assassination drew
near, urged Codina to throw the bomb.
Seeing that Codina nesitated, Pallas an
srily snatched the bomb from him, saying
You're no good"
by the wrangle. and for time he hesitate
to throw the bomb that he had seized. Had
he thrown 1t as he originally intended he
would have killed General de Campos. but
The delay. which allowed the crowd surging
ABOUT the reviewing stand to grow thicker
saved the life Of the general.
Pallas, when arrested, and until his exc
cution. insisted that he alone was respon-
sible for the attempted assassination, and
despite the close questioning Of the authori-
ties. he never by a word BETRAYED that
Codina. or any one else, had anything to
do with the crime. 1t was this fact that
made him hero in the eyes of the anar-
chists. who knew all the facts. His stoicism
and Willingness to accept death rather than
TO betray his comrade led Codina to de-
termine that he would give effect to Pallas'
tnreat that his execution would be avenged
Shortly after Pallas was shot at Mount
Jucich Codina began his preparations to
avenge his comrades death, and the ex-
plosion at the Lyceum Theater followed
