1t was deemed advisable that all the
trades in the council receive their working
cards from the council, and thus insure
uniformity. Cards will be issued quar-
terly. The matter of business agents was
not finally decided. 1t was the opinion
that two or three would have to be con-
stantly employed, who will look after the
interests of all the trades in the council.
When the business is in better working
order, the shop steward" system may be
adopted. That is, on every job select one
man who will be held morally responsible

Perfecting the Plans Upon Which They
Will Conduct Their Business.
The second meeting of the recently
organized Building Trades Council was
held last evening and the delegates were
highly pleased to admit the delegate of
the Lathers' Union into the council. AS
published recently in The CALL, the car
penters will present protest at the next
meeting OF the Supervisors against the
employment of police officers as carpenters
in repairing the police stations. They ask
that money be appropriated for the en-
ployment of a carpenter. The Painters
and Decorators Union will also present a
similar petition that regular painters be
employed in the painting work for the
Fire Department. At present the regular
firemen are doing all OF the painting IN
and upon the engine houses. The council
last evening indorsed both of the petitions
and protests.
There was considerable discussion rela-
tive to that part of the bylaws which will
deal with the working-card system and

one that 1t created sensation, and big

Society circles of the Italian colony are

EZETA HEARD FROM AGAIN
Nearly Killed Himself Running
Away When the First Shot
Was Fired.
The Marion and Alert Both Damaged
in South American
Waters.

Ezeta and his filibusters have been
heard from again.
The United States steamer Alert ran
across the Barclay Golden near Panama,
and the officers of the American vessel are
still laughing over the generals fasco. 1t
appears that when firing began at point
near Acalutla Ezeta nearly broke his neck
in getting behind the sacks of coal tha t were
piled on deck. His sword got between his
legs and he measured his length on the
deck. His head went into an open ven
tilatcr and his frantic efforts to escape
every time rife was fired from the shore
nearly cost him his life
The news from the Alert came in a
private letter which arrived yesterday. 1t
is dated at Panama and gives all the move
ments or the sloop-of-war. On her way
to Callao she was caught in a cyclone and
considerably damaged. The letter states:
'We were a sad-l ooking wreck when we
reached Callao. Head booms and fore top
gallant mast gone and twelve feet of the
bow crushed in. But after forty-slx work
ing days of good hard endeavor every
thing was made shipshape again.
Another vessel of the navy was in trouble
and the letter treats it in this way:
'The Marion arrived a few days before
we sailed. She came in under canvas. her
engines having broken down. It will take
her six or eight weeks to get into good
order again, and then the chances are that
she will have to go back to Mare Island"
According to the communication the
Alert will go to Puenta Arenas from Pan
anna, thence to Amapala, La hibertad. San
Jose, Acapulco, Manzanillo, San Bias.
Mazatlan and Pichiluque Bay. A few days
Will be spent in each port, and from
PichiIuque Bay the warship will come to
San Francisco.
Speaking about Ezeta the writer saws:
The Barclay Golden arrived here on
Monday, bringing EZeta and his party of
despeladoes. Their expedition turned out
to be fizzle. They landed two or three
men at Salvador, a few miles below Aca-
Julia, but they were driven off by a few
soldiers. While the shooting was going
on Ezeta hid behind the sacks of coal piled
up on deck, and he did not show up again
until the tug was out of range. Eighteen
cases of arms were seized by the Colom-
blan Government and the general only
escaped by the skin of his teeth Ezeta's
Jig is probably up, and his followers have
lost faith in him since he ran away at the
first rife shot and nearly broke his neck in
the ventilator. There will be no reyolu-
ton in Salvador"
When the Zealandia was at Panama
EZeta wanted to take passage for San
Francisco. The captain refused him a
passage, as he was afraid of trouble at the
first Salvadoran port. The chances are.

A Runaway Locomotive Had Many Sleep
Ing Passengers In Tow.


Ing Passengers In Tow.
Early one morning the engineer and
fireman Of the Santa Fe overland train,
bound east, when near Cajon pass, i'm
agined they saw something OH the track
right ahead. Thinking the train was
about to be wrecked they both jumped
The engineer was rather badly hurt, but
when the fireman picked himself up out
of the dust he found that the engine had
made kindling wood Of d wagon to
which two horses had been attached.
Their driver had seen the headlight Of
the engine and had jumped in time to
save himself, and the animals them
selves were cropping the dried grass
along tho roadside, which showed that
they had Rot been greatly disturbed by
the accident.
But the train, with nobody at the en-
gine's throttle, was plunging away
through the darkness, the passengers
asleep in their berths, utterly uncon-
scious that they were being drawn by a
wild locomotive.
The fireman, who had been left be-
hind. thought he would try to overtake
the flying train on foot. Then he changed
his mind and, jumping astride one Of
the horses. he set out after the runaway
train. He knew it must stop shortly, as
it had to climb very steep grade, and
if the fire under the boilers was not kept
up the supply of steam would not fur
nish sufficient pressure to keep the
wheels going around. The vagrant train
did stop mile and half from where
the accident occurred. There did not
seem to be any reason for an Interrupt
tion of the journey just at that point,
and so the conductor and brakeman hur-
ried ahead with their lanterns to ask the
engineer what had given out
When they found the cab empty, of
course the trainhands were very much
mystified. They asked each other a good
many questions, and were engaged in
looking up theories to account for the
strange disappearance of the engine
crew when the fireman came Looping
along ON the horse he had borrowed.
After explanation had been made, he
turned his horse toward this city and
brought the first tidings the railroad
people had of the missing train. A hack
was sent out to the scene with another
engineeS and as soon as steam was
raised the overland went ON over the
hill through Cajon pass. The same car
riage brought the injured engineer to
