Dan Danderson and Nick Salagas, who
were working on the Sacramento-street
cable railway where it crosses Walnut

serious injuries.
They were repairing the track pulleys,

ever, the cable started to move
Danderson and Salagas were down in the

though not so near as to be dangerous.
Dandersons right foot was severely
bruised, and Salagas had part of his scalp
torn away. They had their wounds dressed

AN AssEMBLYMAN DISAPPEARS.

The Grand Jury Is Said to Have Indicted

 Vacheron Ia Not to Be Found.
 ALBANY, Mag 10. - General conversa- tion among legislators is regarding the sensational story made public that the Al hany grand jury had handed down a sealed indictment against m asscmblyman. The name cannot be divulgcd because the coun- ty officials refuse to mako 1t public or con firm any rumOFs until the arrest is made.
 District Attorney Eugene Burlingame said, "I cannot, under my oath of office, divulgo the secrets of the grand jury room and until the bench warrants arc served I cannot either deny or affirm any rumors. "
 The basis of the rumors Is tho handing down by the grand jury of four sealed in dictmcnts. Che, 1t is said, is against an assemblyman for accepting a bribe. The rumors of the case arc to the effect that one George N. Best appeared before the grand jury and identified check for S2, 900. drawn by him and indOFScd by an assemblyman, to whom ho testified, he gave it to interest the legislator in a cer tain bill relative to ice cutting on the Ilud- son river.

FAIR PLAY.

Alderman Cross. the recognized leader of the republican board of aldermen. has thrown of his mask and openly declares that the effort to secure a city charter is a game of politics. The admission came a little late, to be sure, but nevertheless it might be we'll to file it away in memory, because the genial alderman of the second ward hopes some day to be a candidate for mlyor on A platform of broad citizenship, and record of the fact that he has ac- knowledge1 that the effortto secure a char ter was a narrow partisan scheme may come ln handy.
 We have not read very much of the latest charter, but have seen enough of it to pronounce it an outrage on decency It proposes one additional ward divided on lines that will make the minority for ever the rulers of the majority. The ger rymander is such that the republicans will have majority ia the board of aldermen, even though the democrats are largely in the majority in the city It is shame ss attempt to intrench in power a few D politicians and office holders who, instead of being the servants of the people. are trv:2g to De tue masters.
 The DEMOCRAT firmly believes that by united action on the part of the lovers O: fair play and good government the scheme will fail. Surely the legislature will not force charter on the people of this city without giving them an opportunity to real and study it That would be an out rage

HE FELT HURT.

 Back in the North Carolina mountains the student of custom may still find ma terial for research. The most unique arc the kissing games, which cling to the soil A lot of big climbed, powerful young men and apple checked, buxom girls gather and select ono of their num- Der as master of ceremonies. He takes his station in the center of the room, while the rest pair off and parade around him. Suddenly one young woman will throw up her hand and say:
 I'm a-pinin."
 The master of ceremonies takes it up and the following dialogue and interlo- cution take place:
 Miss Arabella Jane Apthrop says she's a-pinin- What is Miss Arabella Jane Apthrop a-pinin fur?"
 I'm a-pinin fur a sweet kiss" "
 Miss Arabella Jane Apthrop says she's a-pinin fur q sweet kiss. Who is sweet kiss from?"
 I'm a-pinin fur q very sweet kiss from Mir. Hugh WaddIe. (Blushes, con- vulsive giggles and confusion on the part of Miss Arabella Jane Apthrop at this forced confession Mir. Hugh Wad- de walks up manfully and relieves the fair Arabella's "pinin" by a smack which sounds like 3-year-old steer drawing his hoof out of the mud Then a young man will be taken with a sudden and unaccountable ''pinin" 1 which, after the usual exchange of ques- , tions and volunteered information, re- veals the name of the maiden who causes the ''gnawin" and "pinin." She coyly retreats outdoors only to be chased, overtaken, captured and forcibly com pelled to relieve her captor's distress.
 At one of these entertainments there was a remarkably beautiful young wom- m who had been married about a month Her husband was present, a huge, beetle browed, black eyed young mountaineer, with a fist like a ham. The boys fought shy uf the bride for fear of incurring the anger of her hulking spouse. The game went on for some time, when symptoms of irritation de veloped in the giant. Striding to the middle of the room, he said:
 My wife ez booty, n ez nice n sweet ez any gurl hyar. You uns has known her all her life This game hez been a-going on half an hour, an nobody has pined fur her. Pooty soon thar will be trouble"
