Fearing a Collision the Engineer
and the Fireman Jumped to
the Ground.
ONLY A MEXICANS WAGON.
1t Was Stuck on the Track and Looked
Like Giant Locomotive in
the Fog.

SAN BERNARDINO, CAL, Oct 3O.-The
accident to the Santa Fe limited, which
happended last night, was attended by a
peculiar incident The engine ran until
exhausted with no one in the cab, and the
crew and passengers behind were not aware
of the fact until the engine stopped dead.
Engineer James Lumsden took the linn
| tied out from this city for the run over the
hill leaving at 1925 P. NJ.
After he had passed Irvington, seven
miles north of the city and some distance
this side of Keenbrook, the train was
bowling along at from thirty to thirty-five
miles an hour, and on rounding a curve
the engineer and fireman discovered some
thing just ahead that, at hurried glance,
they took to be another train bearing
down upon them, and but a few feet away
collision in which there would be an
awful loss of life seemed inevitable. AS
the coming train seemed so near the engi-
neer and fireman did not wait to reverse
the lever or release the air, but dashed
across the cab from their respective seats
and leaped to the ground. expecting the
crash of the two trains before they could
land on the ground.
But the obstruction was only a Mexican s
wagon loaded with wood. His team had
pulled the load until the wagon stood
squarely across the track and the horses
had been unable to get it over. In the
darkness and with some fog hanging low
the wagon was mistaken for the down.
coming train, and the men had jumped, as
they supposed, for their lives. When the
fireman recovered he found the engineer
almost unconscious with a leg broken so
badly that the bones protruded.
Disentangling one of the uninjured
horses the fireman, realizing that the
engine could go no great distance followed
up the train on horseback and overlook it
at a distance of about two miles. He then
returned TO San Bernardino, where he
secured a conveyance and returned with
medical aid to the injured engineer.
Another engineer was sent up in a hack
and the train resumed it's journey. For
about an hour the Santa Fe officials were
kept in suspense as to the whereabouts of
the train.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Oct. 80. 4 Com
mander P. n. McGifin, who was wounded
while in command OF the Chinese ship
Chen Yuen during the battle at the mouth
of the Yalu, was in Pittsburgh last night
on his way to New York from Washing
ton, Pa, where he spent several days with
his parents. In an interview he said:
1.-The japanese are about as sick of their
entangleme with Korea as the Korean
Government is with Japan. The latter
country always had more friendly feel
ing toward China than any other country,
and even to-day is more ready to enter
trade relations with China than with anv
other power.
1.-THE Japanese Government has got the
disease commonly known as 'swelled head ,
which will only be reduced and cured by
a good thrashing received from some other
power. This, think, is coming, and is
likely to be administered by Russia"
Commander McGiffin thought the late
war would be beneficial in opening more
seaports, increasing imports and stimulat-
ing foreign commerce. The defeat is not
regarded as final, and reopening of hos
tinties may be expected. He added:
China is not telling the outside world
what she thinks about Japan or what she
intends TO do, but you may be sure the
matter is not settled"
He said that he intends to return to
China as soon as his wounds heal.

burglary attempted in Hatps Grain
Warehouse Without Success.
NAPA, CAL, Oct. 30.-The safe in the
office OF Hatt's large grain warehouse here
was worked on by burglars some time be-
tween 6 o'clock last evening and clock
this morning, but the operators were prob
ably frightened away as they failed to get
the safe open.
When Albert HIATT arrived at the ware
house this morning he found one of the
front doors open, and on looking further
saw that safebreakers had been at work
during the night. Two holes had been
drilled about half way through the inside
door. The drill must have been broken
in the last hole, as it had almost pene-
trated the steel door, for with little more
work the bolt would have been reached,
when it would have been an easy job to
force the bolt from its place.
Captain HIATT thinks the burglars must
have gained access to the building some
time during the afternoon and secreted
themselves among the grain bags. The
Sheriff is now working on the case. About
two years the large safe in the HIATT ware
house was blown open with dynamite and
small amount of money secured by the
robbers.

I Windows Are Broken and the
Furniture Inside Badly De-
molished.
DRIVEN OUT WITH sHoTGUNs.
Members of the Party Expelled and
Threatened With Criminal
Prosecution.

BFLLFFONTE, Pa, Oct. 30.-Two stu
dents have been expelled from the State
college and fourteen indefinitely suspended
for hazing, and in addition most of them,
or NAV be all Of them, may get into the
criminal courts before the affair is entirely
at an end.
AS is usual at the opening of each col
leqe year the higher men undertook to
initiate the freshmen by giving each one q
good hazing. Among the freshmen were
two brothers who had taken room and
board in the family OF Daniel Shivery, in
the village near the college. These the
students were unable to catch until one
night recently, when a large crowd of the
higher-cIass men got together and sur
rounded the house of Mr.. ShIvery and de-
manded the surrender into their hands OF
the two young men.
The demand was refused, whereupon the
crowd opened fire with one of the college
cannons, which they had surreptitously
taken with them and which had been
loaded for the occasion with stones, old
tomato cans and other rubbish. Windows
were broken, furniture inside the house
was badly demolished and the outside OF
the house was badly defaced and be-
smirched.
Two shots we're fired, by which time all
the inmates of the house were badly fright
Sned, except Mr.. Shivery and one of the
students. They were equal to the emer-
gency. Each of them hastily secured a
double-barreled shotgun and sailed forth
into the crowd, demanding its immediate
withdrawal, under threats Of being fired
into if II refused. Acting with discretion
the crowd began TO withdraw, attempting
TO take with them the cannon, but this
Mr.. Shivery held as a ransom until his loss
and damage may be made good.
The names OF most of the students TAX
ing part in this nights work were known
and reported to the faculty. Two of the
mum Der, the ringleaders, were expelled,
and under such a cloud that they will be
unable TO enter any OF the colleges in the
United States, and fourteen others were
suspended Indefinitely.

months of the year. When the fish have
been marketed and the last hide has been
sold and the game law closes the markets
the fleet drifts back and the Mcleod Lake
population falls back into the same simple
life that has been led Tor quarter of a
century.
The lake is in itself an insignificant little
body of shallow water, occupying space
in the heart of the residence portion of the
city that might be designated on the city
map as four or five blocks. 1t is located
Just west of Ell Dorado street, the Van
Ness avenue of Stockton. and is an off
shoot of Stockton channel from a point
Just northeast of the Sperry mills.
The lake was of course there long before
Stockton was founded, and in the near
vicinity of its unsightly banks are many of
the most handsome residences of the city.
While the touch of civilization has trans
formed the once barren country about it's
banks into a beautiful city, the line of
demarkation between the days of old and
modern progress is shown at the water S
| edge.
Upon its muddy waters float hundred

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 3o-The
Alaskan-Can&dian controversy threatens
to rival the Venezuelan boundary affair in
importance. The CALL correspondent learns
that the matter was preached at the Cabi-
net meeting yesterday, but was held in
allegiance until superintendent Dutfield of
the Coast and Geodetic Survey finishes his
computations and Uncle Sam ascertalns
precisely "where he is at" When this
line is distinctly marked. the Secretary of
State will take the matter up with Sir Ju-
liam Pauncefote.
The publication in last Mondays CALL
seems to have awakened California mining
men who have interests in Alaska to the
importance of securing protection against
British-Canadian encroachers, as a dozen
kilograms were received yesterday at the
Coast and Geodetic Survey, and several at
the State Department.

ton should be favored by their presence
can only be accounted for from the fact
that the tules and sloughs offer induce
ments to the fisher and hunter. Taken as
whole, the presence of the arks gives the
lake miserable appearance.
The ladies of the city once moved to
have it cleared, but met with no success.
The people will not move an inch. King
Acker has spread the idea that they are in
Government waters and no legal effort has
been successfully made to GUST them.
Whenever an officer comes in sight the
King runs up the stars and stripes and
looks defiance at the intruder. Their
courtesy in allowing the late Fourth of
July committee the use of the lake for the
water carnival is to them large enough
favor to lost for years.
