SAVED BY AUTOMATIC BRAKES.
Runaway Train on the Pixies Peak Cog
Railway.


Runaway Train on the Pixies Peak Cog
Railway.
The first accident ON the Pixies Peak
cog railroad since it was opened five
years ago occurred few days ago. The
side bars on the driving wheel of the
engine broke, rendering the compressed
air brakes useless. The engineer and
fireman saved themselves by jumping.
The conductor stopped the passenger
car, no couplings being used on the road
by applying the automatic brakes. The
engine rushed down the 25 per cent
grade at terrific speed, and jumped the
track on curve, when the boiler ex-
ploded.
The train was special, carrying Gen
eraI Manager Frederick Harrison OF the
London & Northwestern railroad, and a
party of English railroad men and
ladies.

General B1ack,s Decllnation.

CHICAGO, Sept. o. General John c.
Black has written a letter declining the
nomination for governor by the gold
standard Democrats. He says: 'I am
convinced by my Investigations in this
state that the election for governor lies
between Messrs. Tanner and Altgeld.
The only effect on the election of my
candidacy would be to- diminish the
chances of one or the other of these gen.
tlemen for election. Men differ in their
opinions as to whose chances would be
most seriously inn paired"

UNDEEM1NED BY WAVES.
A Heavy Section of Wall Tumbles Into
East River.

a heANy SecIlOn OF w All 1umDAeS Into
East River.
New YORK, Sept. 9.-The undermin-
ing of the rear wall at the East River
end of Fifty-second street caused about
500 feet of the street and about 100 cubic
feet of the wall to topple into the river
with crash that startled the neighbor-
hood for several blocks around yester-
day evening. At the very edge of the
enormous pit made by the cave-in stands
the towering wall of cigarette factory.
The roar of the landslide brought
hundreds of people to the scene, and it
was with great difficulty that the police
kept the crowd from rushing blindly
upon the dangerous ground to view the
wreckage. The wall that broke away
was about fifty feet away from the river
brink to the level of the street. Its en-
tire face, with the exception of narrow
piece near the south sidewalk, was
washed away and what did not slip into
the river was piled up in a confused
mass at the rivers edge.
Tons of earth and cobblestones fell
upon a boat house and crushed two
skiffs like couple of eggshells.

creased since the League of Progress started
its work some months ago. 1t is very
likely that a petition will be addressed to the
Board of Trustees next month asking them
to submit the question to vote of the peo-
Pile at the coming election. 1t will be
necessary to get the signatures of one-fifth
of the qualified voters OF the corporation
to petition. The Trustees will then, in
obedience to the law, include in their eec-
ton proclaim alton call upon the people
20 vote on the proposition. If two thirds
or more of all the votes cast are Tor re-
incorporation the matter will be settled.
The need of a local government for
Livermore that has power to regulate and
compel street and sidewalk improvements
and that can if it wishes acquire public
works such as. light and water works is
more .learly realized than ever.
One of the objections raised to reincor-
poration is that the county Supervisors
might put a license tax in incorporated
towns. but Supervisor Bailey says that he
does not think Livermore need fear that
the county will try to put any license tax
on incorporated towns. Such thing has
never vet been done in Alameda County
and Mr. Bailey says he does not believe 1t
ever would be done.
Trustee A. w. Feidler is unreservedly in
favor of the town going forward one step.
He says the town has outgrown its old
charter and should recognize that fact as
soon as possible.
Reuben Hunter is heartily favorable to
the proposed move. "We are away behind
the times,' he said. "Let us disband alto
gether or else reincorporate. Ii we want
people TO come and invest here we must
show that we have some confidence in our
selves.
Madison Best declares that if the town
goes ahead reincorporation will be an abb
solute necessity. The majority of the
business men and property owners are in
favor OF the town going ahead, and it now
looks as if Livermore, owing to its near
ness to Corral Hollow, will rapidly in
crease in Importance.

Masqueraded Man.
OAKLAND, CAL, March 30.-A young
girl giving the name of Fannie kearney
was arrested on Washington and Sixteenth
streets shortly before o'clock this even
ing charged with masquerading IN male
attire. She was taken TO the City PRISON
and is held as an ordinary drunk.
Attention was first attracted TO her on
Broadway about 5 O'Clock. She was
dressed in light suit and had light soft
felt hat on a head of bnshy black hair cut
short. Her walk, small hands, and feet
encased in low-cut ties caused comment,
aud when talking to a man she was with
the voice was very feminine. Her general
figure was another reason TO believe she
was masquerading. Detective Shorey
questioned her escort, who said 1t was
man from Sacramento who was going
home. AS they were still on the street
an hour later he arrested the woman,
but let the man go. Later the man re-
turned 10 the prison with some fruit for
her, but refused TO give his name.

savior by making her his wife.
