MISS WILSON'S PLUCK.
She Saves Many Passengers
From Death or Serious
Injury.
sIGNALED JUST IN TIME.
The Train Brought to a Standstill
Within a Few Feet of the
Wreckers' Distractions.

PASADENA, CAL, April 26.-Miss Lou
Y. Wilson, a 20-year-old heroine, frustrated
a dastardly attempt to wreck the passenger
train leaving Pasadena on the Southern
California Railway at :2S o'clock last
night. When the train was within two
blocks of the spot where two huge powders
had been placed upon the track the brave
woman forced her way into a neighboring
residence, seized lighted lamp and sue
ceeded in signaling the train to a stand
still Just in the nick of time.
Miss Wilson, who is a daughter Of S. Jay
Wilson of this city, was returning to her
home on Elm steeet, in the suburbs of
town, at about Z 80 clock. She attempted
to shorten her journey by going few rods
along the track of the railway. A short
distance from the Elm-street crossing she
encountered some obstruction, over which
she stumbled and fell, and, feeling about
in the dark, she was Mortified to discover
two huge powders and quantity of side
walk planking placed upon the track with
the intention of wrecking the passenger
train, due at the crossing at 1885. The
headlight Of the train she could then see
at the Los Robes station, two blocks
distant.
With rare presence of mind Miss Wilson
rushed into an adjoining yard and burst
into the kitchen of neighboring house,
seized lighted kerosene lamp and rushed
out, followed by the inmates of the house,
who believed she was demented. She
reached the track just in time to signal
and stop the eastbound train within forty
feet of the obstruction.
The materials used to wreck the train
were obtained from the residence of c. c.
Brown OF Elm street, the powders having
been used as ornamental projections to his
drive. Los Angeles detectives are now
working on the case.

EMPLOYMENT FOR MANY.
Hundreds of Men and Teams
to Be Engaged in Its
Construction.
TO BE COMPLETED IN A YEAR.
1t Will Supply Water for Irrigation
Purposes to 100000 Acres
of Land.

FRESNO, CAL, April 26.-P. G. Baker,
who has been given the contract for con-
structing the great Sunset canal in the
southern and western part of this county,
has received word that the bonds to pay
for the work, amounting to 81, 900, have
been sold to New York banking firm.
Work will be begun by the 1st of May and
500, 900 month will be expended, giving
employment to 1000 or 1900 men and hun
dreds of teams.
According to an agreement with the firm
that has bought the bonds their represen-
tatives will be allowed to inspect the work
as it progresses and report as to whether
or not the money is legitimately expended.
The canal at its largest part will be twenty
eight feet deep and 400 feet wide. 1t will
irrigate 800, 900 acres and will be completed
in twelve months.
The Sunset irrigation district is the
largest in the State. Work has been de-
layed by the trial in the United States
Supreme Court of the test case carried up
from Modesto, but the buyers of the bonds
are willing to take the risk of having the
construction begun, although many of the
residents of the district are taking legal
action to prevent the collection of the
assessments, which are heavy.

THE CARSON MINT CASE.
Detectire Grant TestiJtcs against the Ac-
cUsed EE- Meter.


CARSON, New, April 26.-No important
witnesses were placed on the stand in the
Jones examination to-day.
Detective Grant, who said his real name
was Gallagher, proved that the bars of the
counterfeit melt were cast in the molds he
found in the mint, and thus showed that
the bullion was not taken out of the mint
when the substitution was made.
The assayer and bookkeeper were placed
on the stand in the afternoon, and testified
that Jones was a poor man when he went
to work in the mint and that it was diff
cult to collect from him at that time,
although he has had plenty of money
since. The record of melt 164 was also ex-
hibited showing that Jones had at all
times had access to it.
1t was learned during the course of De-
tective Grants examination the officers
first became suspicious of Jones by learn
ing of his lavish expenditures of money.
F 1t was shown that he came to Carson
"broke," and was soon living in luxurious
style and spending money freely in Carson
and San Francisco. Inspector Mason,
United States Attorney Jones and the wit
ness had taken him into a private room,
charged him with the shortage, and asked
him to account for his wealth He said he
had made $4,000 in stock gambling, but
when asked to name his broker he declined
to do so.
The defense will claim that the Savage
deposits, which were only 1917 fine in gold,
are identical with the spurious melt, and
were substituted by silver administration.

IRON TRADE IMPROVING.
In the Bessemer Pig Metal, Hotoere,
There Is o. Decline,

In the Bessemer Pig Metal, However,
There Is a Decline.
NEW YORK, N. Y, April 26-The Iron
Age to-day says: The feeling in the iron
trade is undoubtedly better, but the newly
acquired strength is not yet herculean. To
some extent the actual advance in price is
asked because the start has been made from
lower level than sellers have been willing
to acknowledge.
Advices from Pittsburg and the valleys
indicate weakening in Bessemer pig to a
shade under $40 in the valleys. But it is
pointed out that the quantities offered are
not large. Possibly this reaction may stop
should any serious labor trouble arise over
the wages of the blast-furnace men in the
valleys.
There has been very little doing in the
soft steel market, but inquiries are coming
in now for the third quarter and for the
second half of the year Chicago reports
that orders for 10000 tons of billets are in
sight. Very little business of magnitude
has been done in any department of the
finished iron and steel trade in any part of
the country. Bars and sheets are held at
higher figures by agreement.
Quite lively business has been done in
Southern pigiron, our Cincinnati CORE
spondent noting sales of about $4,000 tons,
of which $4,000 tons were done by one
house. Chicago, too, reports heavy bust
ness, both in local and Southern irons.
The leading Southern furnace companies,
according to our correspondent, have actu-
ally made sales at an advance. In other
markets the matter has not apparently
progressed quite so far.

Democrats of Vest Virginia to Dodge
the Sitrer Question.
WHEELING, W. VA, April 26.-The
proposed Democratic State convention to
commit the party in West Virginia on the
silver question will not be held owing to
the strong opposition that has developed
among the leaders in the State to the
proposition. The opponents of the plan
do not base their opinion so much on an
enmity to free silver as they do on the fact
that they regard the idea of declaration
on the question, either one way or another,
in advance of the national convention Of
next year as unwise from a party stand
point. Senator Faulkner, ex-senator Cam
den, Postmaster General Wilson, and other
acknowledged leaders of the party in West
Virginia, having so expressed themselves
publicly, and most of the Democratic
papers having declared opposition to the
scheme, it is said now that it will be aban-
doned. Quite number of free silver
Democrats are still of the opinion, how
ever, that some action should be taken,

DENVER, Colo, April ga special to
the Republican from Albuquerque, N.
Mex, says: Some ten days ago the re-
ceiverS of the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad
Company petitioned the District Court of
the Second Judicial District of New Mex
leo, in which court the receivers were ap-
pointed, for authority to borrow $3.50, 900 to
pay the rental on the line of the road be-
tween The Needles and Mojave in
California. This petition was violently
resisted by the United States Trust
Company of New York, which trust com
pany represents seventeen millions of the
eighteen millions first mortgage bonds of
the road. The trust company objected to
the issuance of receivers certificates, which
would displace the first mortgage lien,
which secures the payment of these bonds.
The matter was argued for several days
and finally compromise was effected, the
trust company STIMULATING that the re-
ceivers might borrow $751; 900 and issue re-
ceiyers' certificates for the same, and what
promised in the beginning to be a long
litigation ended in this way.

The young man gave his name as W. FL.

father had disappeared four months ago

County Clerk of that county, one of the
strongest counties in the State. The Re-
publicans, after a hasty examination of
Clerk Soudons books, declared that he had
overcharged SIC, 900 in fees and had put the
money in his pocket. The statement was
used as campaign thunder, though it
turned out to be untrue.
But the charge severely wounded Mr..
Soudon's pride. He had been elected by
5000 majority, the largest ever given in the
county. He was candidate for reelection.
The Democrats won, but the majority was
cut to below 1000. Soudon imagined him.
