PASSENGERS ESCAPE INJURY.
Serious Loss of Life Prevented by the
Slow Running of the
Train.

STOCKTON, CAL. Dec. 6.-The passen-
ger train from Oakland. due here at Sis
o'clock, crashed into gravel train on the
Taylor-street crossing of the San Joaquin
Valley Railroad last evening, and but for
some Intervention of fate the loss of life
must have been great.
The Valley road switch-engine was en-
gagged in switching cars during the even
ing and had just uncoupled for the pur-
pose of going after car on the side track.
The Southern Pacific train came dashing
along, and, striking one of the heavily
loaded cars squarely between the trucks,
doubled it up like piece of tin. The
wheels of the fore truck were turned in
such position that they could be reached
from the cab of the locomotive. The
ground for yards around looked as though
there had been a shower of ballast
Brakeman Hawkins of the Valley train
claims that when he saw the passenger
train approaching he waved the stop signal
with his lantern, but Engineer Sheehan
claims that he waved it only when the
engine was upon the cars. and that it was
not danger signal anyhow, inasmuch as
it was white light. The cars belonged
TO the Southern Pacific, so the loss will fall
upon that company.
The fact that the train was ahead of
time and running slowly was all that pre-
vented a general demolishing of the pas
senger coaches. AS it was it struck the
gravel car with sufficient forcs to snap the
coupling pins in two places. The South
ern Pacific trainmen have been so used to
dashing through the city with only their
own trains to look after that they proba-
bly, thought that the right of way was
theirs.
The pilot of the engine was crushed to
splinters and the passengers were badly
frightened, but none sustained any injuries.
