Drs. Dunn and johnson examined into
| the cause of Miss Coates death after the
body was taken charge of by the Coroner
and found that the death wound was in
the right side and not in the head. Sew
eral ribs were broken and her intern al in
juries were such that death must have
been almost instantaneous.
The latest story as to the cause Of the
accident is that the signals were properly
given by the flagman, but that the con-
ductor of the cable-car get confused and
misunderstood them and motioned the
gripman to come on, and that the gripman
let loose his brakes. Then suddenly it
flashed on both the conductor and gripman
that they would be run down, as the train
was bearing down on them, and they
tried to stop; the gripman again APP
piled the brakes, but they slipped on the
wet track. and the conductor ran to the
front OF his car and tried to brace it back
with his shoulder, because of failure of
the brakes to hold, but it was too late.
One witness said he saw the conductor
trying to hold his car back with his shout
der against the dashboard. 1t is thought
the theory Of the railroad company will
be that everything was moving all right
and with safety. but the car brakes would
not hold on the wet tracks.
Conductor Wilson and Gripman
Josephs were arrested by Chief Schaffer
and Officer Qugley last night and charged
with manslaughter. They were later re-
leased on their own recognizance. There
was report that William a. Belden, the
engineer Of the local, had also given him.
self up, but the report was not confirmed.
The real cause Of the accident was de-
termined later. It was stated on good
authority last night that the rotten cable
of the San p ablo avenue line was to
blame. The gripman, as was usual, let
loose his grip and applied the brakes, but
the grip was caught in a broken strand of
the cable and The car sped forward in
spite of the efforts of the gripman and
conductor TO stop 1t. This cable, it is I'M
dersto cd, has been In use twenty-three
months, and it is we'll known that the
average life of cable Is one year. A
similar accident occurred on the same
road at Broadway and First street about
a year ago, but no one was hurt The
cabe-car jammed into the last car of the
Alameda local by being caught in a
broken strand of the cable. n other harm
was done than to slightly disfgure the car
and coach.
At II o'clock last night the body of Miss
Coates was taken 10 the home OF her
mother by the Coroner. At that hour
young Waste was resting we'll at the Re-
ceivng Hospital under the influence of
sleeping potion. In his waking hours he
mourns so much over the fate of the young
lady that the doctors fear some injury may
come TO him.

AS SHE HAS ALWAYS DONE.
He Is Old and Poor and She Has
Money.
BUT SHE is AFTER A DIVORCE.
She Told Him That She Had Enough
for Both, but Something Has
Gone Wrong.

Emily Taylor has brought suit for d.
vOrce from Timothy B. Taylor, alleging
cruelty of unsrecifed character. and limo
thy yesterday answered with an altogether
novel application.
lie says he is an old man and that he
has been sick and that be is poor and
without means to contest the petition and
charges. which he desires to do, and there
lore he asks the court TO compel his wife
to pay him monthly allowance and also
to give him a substantial sum for counsel
ices, otherwise plaintiff may get judgment
and the good name and credit of petitioner
will be ruined.
This petition was filed yesterday by
Clara Fotz as Taylor's attorney.
Taylor is a physician. and before his
marriage made a living by the practice of
medicine, he says. and by the sale of his
books and pamphlets. lie met his wife in
1891 In San Francisco and she professed to
love him. He told her that. as to marry
ing, he would be unable to support him.
self and wife. She replied that he must
dismiss all anxiety on that score from his
mind, as she had plenty to support both of
them even in luxury. So he did dismiss it,
and on February 3. 1892, they were mar

creasing his practice they afterward came
to San Fran cisco, where Taylor was imme-
diately taken sick with pneumonia, and
was compelled to go up among the hills OF

worse, and has since continued sick and
unable to earn livelihood. AL he has in
The world for his maintenance apart from
his wife is pension OF S12 a month for
service in the war. His wife, on the other
hand, has ample means, he says.
The odd spectacle of a husband applying
to the court in an endeavor to compel his
wife 10 support bin and 20 pay his lawyer
fees in contest of her suit for divorce is
presented under section JIG of the code,
which says that wife must support her
husband. when he has not deserted her,
out of her separate property when he has
no separate property and there is no COM
munity property and he Is unable from in
trinity TO support himself.
The husband declared that he made an
attempt TO earn the necessaries of life for
both of them, but that i'll health prevented
him; also that he had a true regard for
his wife. and denies the charges of cruelty,
but on the contrary declares that he has
performed all the obligations of husband
so far as be was able.
The court was asked to grant an order
upon plaintiff to show cause why she
should not grant the request The order
was made by Judge Slack, returnable
on Friday.

LIABILITY OF THE STATE
For Accidents Caused by the Col
lapse of Defective WharVes.

The Supreme Court has reversed the
Judgment of the lower court in the suit
brought by A. CHAPMAN. as assignee Of
the firm of John RUsenfeld's Sons, against
the State.
The suit was brought to recover S1266 AZ,
the value of quantity of coal belonging
TO the plaintiff that was dumped into the
bay by the sudden collapsing of Mission
street wharf. 1t was sought to make the
State responsible for the defective con-

ever, were KIN ocked out; the court below

State. The plaintiffs appealed
Ii is held by the Supreme Court that the
demurrer was improperly sustained. The
court decides that there was cause of ac-
ton. In that there was undoubted respon-
siblllty on the part of the State to carry
out its contract with persons patronizing
wharves for the shipment of goods in the
legitimate carrying on of their business.
The case is remanded for trial.

Qrt l1otes.

The Society Of Washington Artists open
their fourth annual exhibition in Cosmos
Club tomorrow and will continue it until
April IA.
The Cosmos Club house since its renova-
ton is greatly improved, and the pictures and
group of sculpture casts display to much better
advantage than ever before anywhere in the
city.
In water color and pastels there are sixty
five pictures by not only such well-known
artists as W. II. Holmes, Miss Bertha E. Purie,
]. H. Moses, Z. H. Miller. E. c. Messer, and
Parker Mann, but many OF the younger aspir-
ants for fame.
There are many choice pictures in the col
lection that will not fail to please and add to
the reputation OF local workers.
The sculptures are arranged in a very
effective grouping on a raised dais in the
center Of the water-color room.
Mr.. Dunbar's reputation for portrait busts
is well sustained by the several specimens he
exhibits, and his ability to happily blend the
IDEAL with the real is seen in "Papa's Little
Man."
Theodore Mills presents a statue OF Gen.
T. Z. Spinner. which is good likeness.
Mrs Heideman gives a portrait in relief.
Mr. Nichols furnishes a portrait bust, and
Mr. H. J. EIlicott bust of Mr.. George N.
Dallas of heroic size, and an equestrian model
of Gen. Phil Sheridan.
There are 1873 oil paintings in the larger
salon, all by well-known artists or the men,
bers of the Art League.
AS the private view on Saturday given to
the artists friends and members Of the press,
it was impossible to get anything more than
general impression OF the whole, as many
of the pictures were still unhung or being
hung by the committee.
Taken as a WHOLE the evidence of much
clever and serious work was apparent, as was
also the marked Improvement in the standard
of the work over previous exhibits.
Mr.. E. C. Messer closed his exhibit at " G.
Fischer's gallery. which has been running the
past two weeks, on Saturday morning.
Mr. Messer's work won high praise from
artists and connoiseurs. and for the times the
sales were good. His large picture entitled
1.-THE River Road is sold, and Hon. Freder-
lex Douglass is its owner. Mrs. John W. Pill
ing purchased the one that seemed to please
the popular taste best, 1.-The Passing Gleam,' ~
and several of the smaller pictures were
spoken for.
Mr.. Wills NJ. Sawyer will hold his collectio n
of paintings on view at Mr.. V. Fischer's for
one week, beginning with tomorrow.
MIR. Sawyer spent his vacation last year
making studies of the picturesque in this
vicinity, and original treatment of former
studies augurs well for this.
Last years Summer work forms large
part of this exhibit. Mr.. Sawyer was presi-
part Of the Art League last year.
Miss Alice Archer Sewall who furnishes a
portrait Of her father at the exhibit of the
Cosmos Club rooms, is young woman of
varied accomplishments.
She furnished an illustrated poem for the
Christmas number of Harper's Magazine, also
the illustrations for recent article in the
Metropolitan.

The Story
Of the Bones
An Army Tragedy.
BY JOSEPH SMITH.

Where the New Mexican Sierras look down
upon narrow trail that winds out of a gray
ish green plain into the SCARED and torn foot
hills that form the outer barriers OF the Tule-
rosa range a spur of the hills pushes forward
like an earthwork to dominate the desolate
valley. Crowning this spur was a tall pine
tree, grim and solitary sentinel standing in
the midst of crumbling powders. From the
shadow of the pine the full sweep Of the gray
desolation of the valley filed the eye, from
the base of the mountain below to the point
afar off where the sage-green thirsty earth
rommingled with the blue haze that wrapped
the cliffs and mesas in the enchantment of
distance. From the vantage and shelter of
pine and bowlder the struggling trail could
be seen creeping indecisively round the base
Of the hill into the rough, open pass, to stop
hesistatingly at the edge of pool in the
shadow of the cliff. This pool was the tenn
porary resting-place of thin stream of clear,
cold water. which dripped from crevice in
the cliff. where it took heart to continue its
journey down between the blistered rocks and
thirsty sands, where it struggled feebly be-
fore it surrendered and died.
This tiny stream was the raison d'etre of the
feeble trail. the oasis in that scorched and
blistered desolation that drew to the spot the
feet of the men aud beasts that had worn the
path; for in New Mexico, as ID Judea the cup
of cold water has n value inconceivable to
those who dwell in lands blessed with green
pastures and murmuring brooks.

in black shadows. made all the more dark by
the contrasting light, and the desperate man
determined to leave his trap and endeavor to
get round and back of his foes in the mountains
in the darkness. To go out on the moonlit
valley back toward the cavalry camp seemed
too mady hazardous even to a man in his
desperate dilemma; for he rightly imagined
that that when they learned of his escape the
Indians would scourthe plain for their victim.
As preliminary to his break he fired a.
couple of shops haphazard ut his foes. and his
luck was rewarded by yells Of rage from the
Apaches.
Leaving this impression Of vigilance, Frank
lin took last look at his poor dead comrade,
and shuddering at the thought Of the morrow's
outrage on that body he dropped down from
the powders among the black shadows, and
creeping as cautiously as a wolf worked down
and round the position of the Indians. He
plunged into the woods parallel with the
pass and worked toilsomely along until he
stood on the cliffs above the western end of
the pass, looking toward the Tulerosa
mountains. Two precious hours were lost
in searching for a trail to the plain below,
but once on the plain he ran over the level,
vaguely conscious Of his direction, intent only
upon placing miles between himself and the
Apaches. The gray dawn found him at the
base of the Sierras, many long mile from
the San Bias pass, tired, hungry, thirsty
and lost He worked along into the woods,
and lay down in the shadow of a rock and
slept. He awoke unrefreshed and pushed on,
weak and hungry, but stout-hearted.
How cruelty hot was the sun, and how sore
and dizzy his wounded cheek made him! But
he trudged along sturdily over the dusty,
blistered, sun-cracked earth. keeping a sharp
eye for danger, and vainly searching among
the arroyos and sun-baked rocks for water.
On and on he walked, up and down the
mountains, across the valleys, and hugging
the woods again, in country that seemed at
once familiar and strange to him. Night
overlook him weary and hungry, with a
swollen face a terrible thirst, and completely
worn out. Tightening his belt to stay his
craving stomach. he lay down among the
powders on the summit of the range to sleep;
but sleep brought him oblivion without rest,
for thirst and his wound tortured him through
the weary night. The stars faded out at last
and the burning tyrant OF the day came once
more, and the tired, bloody-faced man started
