motorman lost control of the car and 1t
plunged at a terrific speed down the hill as
far as Larrabee street. when 1t left the
track and went over on its side with tre-
mendous crash. The car was crowded,
having forty-fve passengers aboard. among
whom were twenty young people who con-
stiluted the graduating class of the Williams
avenue Grammar School.

moved from the wreck ana taken to the

Il. Blaisdell and II. Z. Doty. the motor
man and conductor. respectively, were ar
rested. BlaiSdell was seen at the City Jail
and said Il did all in my power 10 check
the momentum Of the car. but the brakes
would not hold. The Incline on Mcmillan
street Is very steep and at this point we
are very cautious, but did all | could and
found could not stop the car. When we
struck the curve turning into Larrabee we
were going at pretty good rate of speed
was afraid we would go over, but stood
by my brake until the car turned over on
its side. Then l went into the car to helI
| release the passengers"
Police Officer Dawson. who was on the
front Of the platform when the accident oc.
CURED says: II am satisfied that the
mOiOrman in this case is en- tirely blameles:
for the accident. He had his brake on az
hard as it could be drawn, but he could not
control his car"

PENSION LEGISLATION.
A Speck of War in the Halls o
Congress.


Congress.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-The House re-
sumed consideration of the pen sion appro-
priation BILL
Boutelle spoke vigorously against the
proposed amendments 10 the pension law,
declaring I'm ion veterans were not safe in
the hands of the party about to come into
power. with its headquarters south OF Mason
and Dixon's line. The records of Congress
showed that fact.
Oates replied warmly to Bontelle's re-
marks. saying that his charges were unfOr-
tunate and ill-founded. No gentleman would
charge him oil any other ex-Confederate
with opposing proper pension to any
Union soldier who was worthy Of it. He
regretted that the gentleman from Maine
had exhibited the bloody shirt TO the
House.
Cummings earnestly opposed the proposed
legislation, address ing himself principally
TO the amendment Withdrawing the psn-
sions of widows who had not married with
in five years after the end Of the war.
This legislation he denounced as bull
headed, brutal and brutal hearted.
After some further debate the general
discussion closed and the bill was read for
amendments. The first was that trans
ferring the Pension Bureau from the In
terror to the War Department Points of
order we're raised against this and the other
amendments Of the committee, and without
action on any of them the House ad-
journed.
The Senate bill giving General Doub-
ledays widow $50 month pension was
passed by the House in the morning hour.

LONDON, Feb. 15.-The English delegates
to the Brussels monetary conference have
issued a report on the work of the confer
ence. They state that they have not found
any definite and practical scheme on which
they were able to agree. but valuable in-
formation was obtained on the subject to

A STRIKE is IMMINENT.
Trouble Certain With the Chicago
SwitChmeu.

CHICAGO, Feb. 15.-The Chicago railway
managers have settled down TO the convic-
ton that they are going to have trouble
with their switchmen. They are deter
mined to resist to the bitter end the de-
mands which they are confident will be pre-
sented within a few days.
AT a meeting last week the managers
unanimously agreed to allow No advances In
the wages OF EN- ployes this year and they
say they will adhere to that resolution re-
CARELESS OF consequences.
The switchmen were in session here to-
day and reports from St. Louis and other
points indicate that meetings were held SIM
ultaneously in different sections. II the de-
maDds are refused. as they are almost GER
tain to be. there Is little doubt that strike
will follow.
One OF the managers said this evening
that il they submitted to the demands OF the
swltchmen it would be but a short time be-
fore the other classes of employees would
come to the front with similar demands.
The com panies cannot afford it, and, rather
then surrender, they will go out OF business

WHAT SHE REALLY SAID.
The True Version of the Story of
Marie AntOinette.


Every one has heard that old and popu-
larly accepted story of Marie Antonetie
and the starving peasants. and it is always
told as an illustration of the heartlessness
and carelessness Of royalty concerning the
common people.
II has served its purpose WELL but unfor.
tunately it is not quite true. Mr.. Matteu
Williams gives the correct version. He
says:
eve are told that when Marie Antoinette
was informed of a famine in the neighbor
hood of the Tyrol. and of the starving of
some of the peasants there, she replied, l
would rather eat piecrust than starve.
Some of the tory-tellers, by the way, have
II pastry, others cake. Thereupon the
courters giggled at the ignorance OF the
pampeIed Princess, who could suppose that
starving peasants had such al alternative
food as piecrust.
1.-THE ignorance. however, was all on the
side of the courtiers and those who repeat
the story in its ordinary form. The Prin-
cess was the only person in the court who
really understood the habits of the peas
ants Of the particular districts in question.
They cook their meat. chiefly young veal.
by rolling it in a kind of dough made OF
saWdust, mixed with coarse flour to hold it
together, then placing il in an oven or wood
embers until the dough Is hardened to
tough crust and the meat is roasted
throughout to the proper point Of cooking.
Marie Antoinette said she would rather eat
piecTust than staTve. knowing that those
meat peerusts are given to the pigs, aud
they are nourished by them, and digest
them in spite of the wood sawdust"

Special to THE MoRS1Ss CALL.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-The penal clause
of the Caminettl hydraulic mining bill, as
agreed upon by the conference committee
to-day, now reads as follows:
"And any person or persons. company or
corporation. their agents or employees, who
shall mine By hydraulic proeess-directly or
Indirectly injuring navigable waters of the
United States-in violation of the provisions
of this act, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor,
and upon conviction thereof shall be pun
ished by fine not exceeding $4,000, or by
Imprisonment not exceeding one year, or by
both such fine and imprisonment, In the
discretion OF the court" 1t is provided that
this section shall take effect on the first day
of May. 1893.
The words relating to the working Of
hydraulic mines" are inserted in section "a
so as TO permit consultation with the Debris
Commission, provided the Legislature Of
California passes the bill now pending ere
ating such commission. These are the
most important changes resulting from
the refusal OF the House to concur in the
Senate amendments. and these changes
were obtained notwithstanding the early
surrender of the executive committee Of the
miners on the proposition to pass the bill
WIFI tIb O6Idtc anu utSplL6
the threats to kill it in the Senate by the
other side.
The surrender of the miners executive
committee neutralzed the efforts, not only Of
Congressman Camnetti, but also of Judge
Searls who was sent here specially by it,
When he left he had no hope of getting the
changes in the penal section. but Senator
FELTON, acquiesced finally, owing to ex-Con-
gresham BerrY's telegram giving approval
to the change here tofore telegraphed.
The conference report is signed and will
be presented TO the houses tomorrow, and
will, without doubt. be the law of the land
by Monday next.
Caminett is receiving scores OF kilograms
from California congratulating him upon
his success, as both the miners and the val
ley men appear to be satisfied with the bill
as il stands
