SAVED By PRESENCE OF MIND.
An Engineer Saves His Train by Run
ming at Full Speed over a Cave-in.
From the New York Tribune.

rTOu the new 1OTk ITlDun6.
Wilkesbarre, Pa, July 1S.-Had it not
been for the cool head and ready hand of
Frederick Titus, engineer of Lehigh Val
ley freight engine No. 800, himself, his
crew of six men, the engine and four
freight cars would now be lying at the
bottom of an old mine hole. Titus this
morning found himself in a predicament
so terrible that were he to experience it
again, he says, he is afraid his nerve
would fail. Titus was at the lever of the
big engine as she ratified down the heavy
grade on a long slide running toward
Miners Mills, a small town near here
He was pulling four empty freight cars,
and going at a speed of twenty miles an
hour. The track was wet from an early
rain, and the big driving wheels of the
engine slipped on the rails. Titus kept a
sharp lookout ahead for danger, and
stood ready to whistle down brakes at
any moment.
Suddenly, as he glanced down the track.
his attention was attracted by dis
turbance in the road-bed only a few
hundred feet ahead. He was surprised to
see large holes appear, and as he looked
the entire surface for distance of sew
eral feet sank out of sight, and the edges
on each side of the hole continued to
crumble. He Immediately realized what
had happened. The place was honey
com ped py ola mine Workings. and one or
the gangways, hundred of feet below, had
fallen in, taking down the surface with
it. The rails and ties alone remained
straight and symmetrical, and the hole
was all the time growing larger.
In less time than it has taken to write
one of these lines, all this passed through
the mind Of the engineer, and as il did he
acted intuitively, perhaps, for he said
afterward he had no time to think
Grasping the throttle he threw it open,
putting on a full head of steam, at the
same time opening the sand tube to give
the wheels a firm hold. The big engine
sprang forward like a sprinter, and gain
ing speed with every inch of advance,
shot across the chasm swiftly and safely,
but none TOO soon, for barely had the last
car cleared the edge when the rails and
ties fell with crash into the big hole
After the train had been brought 70 a
standstill, the crew hurried back TO the
scene. The hole by this time was fully
thirty feet across, and the bottom could
not be seen. Titus said that be knew
there was not room on the down grade 10
stop the train before IL reached the cave
10. and he felt the only safety was in
skimminR across. A large force Of men
are 90 work repairing the damage.

Wheeling Notes.

Notoes
Mr.. Spier. speaking of his plans for a
grand bicycle park in this city, states
that he is constantly receiving the best
of encouragement for the venture.
Over o hundred letters have been re-.
ceived by him from eastern men who
are favorable to the Nroposition. Yes
tarday the mail BIZ Ight letters from
such well-known bicyclists as Evens of
Lansing, Michigan, Tyler, Bliss, Sanger,
Cartwright. snd others.
The universal sentiment is that il ac-
commodations such as Mr.. Spier pro.
poses to have can be secured here they
will all come for the winter in place Of
going south.
Yesterday one of the largest joint
runs ever known in the state was held
at Centerville between the Garden City
cyclers of San Jose, the Acme wheel
men of Oakland and the Bay City
wheelmen OF San Francisco.
The Olympic wheelmen of San Fran
cisco have 50-yearo old man, DR.. H. G.
Massie. who has made the century in

Oscar Osen has decided not to leave
the Garden City wheelmen of San Jose.
The Garden City cyclers of San Jose
have issued a challenge to the Bay City
wheelmen of San Francisco for q race to
lake place between the kindergartens of
these two respective clubs. The race
will be for $50 prize, half put up by
each club, and the contestants to be
only members OF the recognized kinder
gartens. The distance of the two clubs

ON LOCAL DIAMONDS.
Tho Wilson's and Keatings Put Up q
Great Game,

| Tho Wilson's and Ksatings Put Up
Great Game.
Something like 500 fans attended the
games at Athletic park yesterday and
saw two OF the most interesting games
OF the series.
The tirst game, between the Stars and
Ell Telegrafos, was an interesting game
from start to finish. Ksymer pitched
magnificent ball, having 15 strike-outs,
and GrotzinRer put up fine game be-
hind the bat.
| The features of the game were the
batting of Warner W. Chapman and A.
| Thomas and the fielding OF King.
The second game was one OF the best
games that was ever played at Athletic
park, for both clubs put up a great gam g
in the field, with the exception of ALE n
of the Keatings who seemed to be play
ing football instead of baseball.
The Keatings shut the Wilson's out in
the fret inning, and the Keatings,
through the timely ee.bagger of Allen,
and a nit by Hart secured two in their
half.
The Wilson's secured two in the Sec
ond inning through the poor judgment
of the Keatings in the field.
The Keatings were shut out in the
third and fourth innings.
The Wilson's got another in the third
inning by timely hits OF Whaling and E.
Moore.
Then the Keatings. through their
Sensational fielding, shut the Wilson's
out until the eighth inning when they
managed to get two more through this
poor throw of Smith and an error by
Grotzinger.
The Wilson's shut the Keatngs out
the rest of the game.
The Koatings 40 doubt would have
tied the score in their half of the eighth
inning had the umpire given the right
decision which, as it was. no doubt gave
the game to the Wilson's.
The Keatings will give them still
harder rub for supremacy the next time
they meet.
The feature of the game was the SEN
sationai fielding OF both clurs, especially
OF Lowe, who played professional game
at short, and the batting of Allen and
Rhodes.
The first game next Sunday will he
the Stars vs. Ell TELEGRAPH.
Following is the official score Of both
games:

GOSSIP ABOUT HORSES.
Rey Ell Santa Anita Makes Poor
Showing.

Rey ell Santa Anita Makes Poor
Showing.
Local horsemen feel certain pride in
the string of runners owned by Lucky
Baldwin, from the fact that these
famous horses are at homo at certain
portions of the year at Baldwin's ranch,
in the San Gabriel valley. The fl rst ap.
pearance OF Rey ell Santa Anita, the
famous Derby winner, at the Bay Dis
trict track was, therefore, something Of
disappointment to local horse lovers.
The colt ended a poor third in race
with five starters and was beaten by
such horses as Polsski and Gilead. In
the pools Rey ell Santa Anita sold
great favorite and the talent went down
in humiliating shape, though there
were very few winners to crow eve. their
superior judgment, which was, in fact,
merely luck.
The Bey District track is drawing
great crowds and the crowds are seeing
some great races. Coast records are be-
ing broken now and then and world
beater may develop before the close of
the season.
A fellow named Patton was discover.
ed during the week who has been sell
ing bogus tickets at the track for some
time. The management knew of the
job, but had been unable to locate the
smooth Individual until the 7th, when
the tickets which were printed for the
9th and not used on account of there
being no races, were used. Patton did
not know OF the deal and was selling
perfect limitations only they were date ed
the 9TH.
Yo ell Rey, once valued at nearly
$50 900, and looked upon az a record
maker, is making very poor showing
ut San Francisco. The colt has an ugly
disposition and no driver has been able
to get speed out of him thus far during
the season.
Clacquer is winning some OF the short
distance races at Bay district lately
against horses that have rather higher
records like Hal Fisher, Red Dick, Lodi
and others.
The Texas pacing record for 2.year-
elds was lowered on the Sd by Symbos
leer who, in match race with John
Carpenter went the full mile heat in
Gall.
PolaHki is improving greatly. dis
emily defeat thus far this season at Bay
district has been by Artist.
The plan for having some good winter
races in Los Angeles has not been en-
tirely given up but there are many
Things against it and the chances are
that the plan will fall through.

TO be the policy of the Russian govern
ment to get into it's own hands ali the
railroads east OF Moscow, which are
those most important strategically; and
this acquisition will leave only about
1900 miles Of private road in that terri-

The growing Importance OF Los An

standpoint is again exemplified by the
establishment OF another line of popu-
lar. personally conducted excursions be.
tween this city and st. Paul and Mime
apols by the Santa Fe route. Many
important intermediate points will also
sofa. such as Ottumwa, Oskalooss, Mar
shalltown, Mason City, Austin, FAri-
bault and Owatonna.
The first excursion over the new line
will leave Los Angeles on Thursday,
November 10Th. and every Thursday
thereafter, occupying improved Pullman
tourist sleeping cars, which SO through
to st. Paul and Minneapolis without
change, and accompanied through to
destination by a special conductor.
Westbound the excursions will leave ST..
farl and Minneapolis every Saturday,
and the fine accommodations afforded
by the new line will have a tendancy to
stimulate travel in this direction from
the blizzard-blown states of the north
west.
No change will be made in the run
ming of the Santa Fe route personally
conducted excursions to St. Louis, Chi
cago and Boston, which will continue to
leave Los Angeles every Thursday as
heretofore.
THE NEW COLORADO TUNNEL.
The Busk tunnel, 1894 feet long. re-
Gently completed at Hsgerman Pass, in
Colorado, has furnished in the short
time Of its operation some interesting
phenomena in ventilation. According
to recent statements by Chief Engineer
b. H. Bryant of the Busk Tunnel Rail-
road company. the west end of the tun-
mel is 1872 feet higher than the other.
Consequently 1t acts as a chimney, and
unless a strong wind is blowing from the
west tho draught is from eset to west.
AS a rule the tunnel will be free from
smoke in 40 to 60 minutes after a west
bound train cutters it, and after sufficient
time has elapsed for it to clear, the east
portal can be seen when entering the
west end. All engines handling west-
bound trains burn coke in passing
through the tunnel, but notwithstand-
ing this precaution men are sometimes
overcome with smoke or gas. This re-
suits from the fact that when q train
Poo9co sh0 Wonb-UUuuu,
with the engine working hard and
throwing off large quantities of smoke
and gas, il men are working within 1000
feet or 30 OF the west end of the tunnel,
all smoke and gas thrown off by the en-
gine are carried along by the air current
past the men to the outlet. Sometimes
an engine throws off an unusual quantity
OF injurious gas and an entire gang OF
men will be rendered unconscious by it,
as has happened three or four times
since the line was opened last Deem
Der. No satisfactory explanation OF the
cause has yet been secured.
