AN ACCIDENT AvERTED,

Due to the Presence of Mind of Sig
nal Man ut Oakland.
OAKLAND. July 1.-THE presence of
mind of signal man prevented a terrible
accident this evening. Train No. 81,
which leaves the mole at O. clock every
evening for Stockton and way stations,
stopped at First street and Broadway as
usual, and then started out for its desti-
nation, without waiting for the signal
which would notify the engineer that the
line was clear. Just before reaching
Webster street, whore the broad gauge
track crosses the narrow-gauge, the Sig
mailman discovered the narrow-gauge
train crossing the Webster-street bridge
and that collision was likely to occur.
The buildings on the corner prevented
the engineers of both trains from seeing
the danger, and they were drawing mo-
mentarily nearer together. There was
only ono thing to do, and that was to
throw the;derailing switch, which was but
q few feet in front OF the broad-gauge en-
CINE, which was rapidly gaining head
way. This operation was the work of an
instant, and with a grinding, rumbling
sound the huge machine slid Off the rails
and came TO standstlll.
The severe joiting which the sudden
stop gave the passengers was the only
damage done, the narrow-gauge train
slipping BY few seconds after the engine
LETT the track Had the two trains crashed
together terriOlo loss Of life would have
resulted, as both were crowded with pas
sengera.
About half an hour was consumed by
wrecking crew in getting the derailed
engine back on the track, when the train
resumed its journey.

REDpING, July 1.-THE neighborhood
Of Whitmore, a beautiful little mountain
hamlet on the Tamarack road, ten miles

house and while there the two had some
words and without any warning as to his
intentions, Lewis pulled out 43-callOer
pistol and taking deliberate aim fired at
his brOther-in-law, seriously Wounulng
him. \ OF satisfied with this he sprang
upon his helpless relative and with q
large dirk knife cut his brother-ln-law 5
neck from ear to ear and made his es-
cape.
Ii was some time afterward when neigh
bors happened by the place ana dis
covered errilI's body lying in pool of
blood. Word was sent at once 10 Mill
willie, and late in the evening the officers
and Coroner here were notined, and they
left for the scene OF the tragedy.
Lewis took TO the woods, and the local
officers are now out pursuing him. There

NEW YORK, July 14.-The French liner
La Normandie, which arrived from
Havre this morning, had a decidedly
eventful voyage. j ust after her departure
from Havre one of the firemen, Francois
LIE Elem, was instructed to open one of
the coal bunkers. He did so, using
naked light. AS soon as the hatch was
opened there was rush of gas. which in

were stretched along the deck. The
passengers were quiet and orderly under
the circumstances, aud there was no
panic. Of course the crew worked all
night, and toward morning had the fire
well under control. At 9 O'Clock the fire

CRUSADE OF BLOOD.
BARBAROUS PRACTICES IN THE
SOUTH SEA ISLANDS.
Whites in State of Terror Over the
Terrible Crimes Committed
by Sayages.

SAN Francisco, July 14.-A special to
the CAL from Victoria, b. c., says: After
almost years cessation of their bar
barous practices, the head-hunters OF
Solomon Islands have again deserted the
plantations and embarked in crusade of
blood. The white traders are in terror,
and missionaries are returning by every
steamer to Australian cities.
SO terrible are the crimes committed by
the head hunters that trade is tempo
rarily paralyzed. and in despair the white
residents of the South Sea Islands have
applied for protection 10 the British Com
mander-in- Chief in Australian waters.
The tirst-class cruiser Orlando was, when
the steamer Miowera left Sydney for this
port, preparing to teach the ferocious
islanders saluIary lesslon.
The latest victims of the sayages were
the ships company of the Sydney trad
ing schooner Amelia, Captain d. Kerr,
his mate. Samuel Smith, and eight or ten
men. They sailed in the Amelia from
Rubiana in the middle OF April, and
have since been missing. under circum-
stances that, unfortunately, leave no
doubt as to their fate. When they failed
to return to Rubiana in May, Nathaniel
Wheatley OF that place organized q
search for them, and succeeded in pick
| ing up part OF a deckhouse, the hatch es
and other wreckage of the Amelia in
Planche Channel. Then he instituted in
| quiries among the natives. and learned
that some weeks before raid had been
made by the head hunters from kendova
Island by Lur-Conga men, and that dur
ing the raid the trading schooner was
met with and her crew despatched with
out having chance for their lives.
The natives who gave the information
said the schooner was stranded on free
when the massacre took place, but Wheat
ley afterward found that this was untrue

style, and after butchering all on board,
the vessel was looted and then cnt adritt
Captain Francis Guy, it will be remeffl-
bered, met similar death in the same
locality only one year ago. Kerr and
Smith had but recently purchased the
Amelia, and were engaged collecting
copra for the Sydney market.
Captain Williams, of the steamer kelloe,
has reported to Admiral Bridge that head
hunting and other outlawry is on the in
crease. and that upwards of 200 mon of
Rubiana are now on q bloody expedition,
having promised to secure upwards of
fifty trophies" before returning to the
island.

Thurston jail to answer to the charge of
numbering George Parker. son Of Fire
Chief, the last great chief of the Omahas.
The crime occurred last night on the
Omaha reservation, near the tribes cele-
bration grounds, and it was only miracle
that saved the two policemen from being
burned at the stake by the 800 Omahas
that were near at hand. The policemen
are both Winnebagos-Fra Ewing and
Black Elk.
Ewing now claims that the shooting
was accidental, but other reports state
that he made the assertion that he just
wanted TO kill al Omaha. The two tribes
are very unfriendly. People from the
reservation will call attention to this
crime TO prove that Beck's Indian police
are not the proper persons to be given
firearms. The Omahas are wild over the
murder and a tribal war is possible.

that the Pope's recent encyclical, while

that Rome is the only church, and union
must be upon her dogmas. Any corpor-
ate union with Rome is impossible so
long as she retains her distinctive errone-
Gus doctrines. lie added:
"There is set forth in Scripture way
into which all believers IN Christ should
lead ana hold the !aith in unity Of spirit.
l have often thought our primitive
church does present 10 the Christian
world the very position here set down by
ST. Paul himself. The word of God, the
two creeds, the two sacraments, the his
toric episcopate. are the foundation stones
OF churches in unity. Whatever unity
we obtain must be unity III adversely.

us now, an interdenomiuationai endeavor

from the low, deep groans emitted by the

suppose that the people who want their

is certain that to-day was a counterpart of
its predecessor, aud the Roosevelt fiat

that it's successors will be the samo.
