REWARD FOR A DREAM.

I ost in the month of September,
An exquisite Dream and Belief;
It either was dropped on Life's highway,
Or stolen by Time, the arch thief.
If found, please return to the owner
It's value is small save to her;
AS reward, all her earthly possessions
She offers without a demur.
'Tis so small that the owner could
hold it
In one human hearts little space
SO great, all earth shone with its
brightness
And looked like a glorified place.
If found and returned in good order
The offered reward will be paid;
But the finder is cautioned against
delay
Dreams exposed to the air sometimes
fade,

He Was Caught by the Loco
motive and Scalded by
Escaping Steam.
A COSTLY ENGINE CRIPPLED.
There Was a General Wreck of Roll
ing Stock at the Foot of Sixth
Street Yesterday.

A broken rail on the track at the foot OF
Sixth street caused smash-up Yesterday
forenoon to engine 1915, belonging to the
Southern Pacific Railroad Company, by
which Fireman G. E. Smith was badly
scalded about the arms and chest.
The engine was hauling twenty-five cars
out of yard No. 1, preparatory to
making up a freight train for the East,
when the disaster occurred. 1t had pulled
out of the yard and was proceeding along
the southern track with the object of get
ting on one of the main lines and then
backing up to connect with other freight
cars on different line, when suddenly the
engine jumped the track, dragging with it
the tender.
effect of turning tender and engine round
on the same principle as a ship swings to
her anchor, and in doing so turned the en-
CINE round until its rear end came in con-
tact with the first and second car, thereby
completely demolishing the first one and
crushing in the second, throwing both off
the track.
The engineer, H f. Windrick, Jumped
from the cab and saved himself in jury. but
the fireman was not so fortunate. He was
caught between the engine and tender and
held fast. while the escaping steam played
upon his arms and body.
Assistance, however, soon came, and he
was removed from his perilous position.
Fortunately, the train was moving at
slow rate of speed; otherwise there would
have been a general wreck of freight and
cars.
The wrecking engine was soon on the
ground and removed the demolished en-
CINE from the track, while men with bars
and sledge-hammers proceeded to break
up the tender, as it was too badly damaged
to be removed as whole. The same APP
plication of destruction was followed out
with the first car. This being empty, the
sides were crushed in, while the end was
driven through another empty car which
was standing on spur track close by, de-
molishing its side also.
The second car, which was loaded, sank
deep into the black sand, and to remove it
engine 1900, one of the most powerful of
| yard monsters, had to come out, and after
| putting and snorting for fifteen minutes
finally succeeded in hauling it on to the
track, from where it was taken back to
| the shed.
| A gang of tracklayers were set to work,
and after a few hours labor everything
| was in shape once more for traffic.
The damage was only nominal from 8
corporation standpoint, as the engine can
be repaired and new tender and freight
cars take the place of those that were
smashed.

Miss E. Palmer of Santa Rosa recently
accom- plished the feat of riding over
Mount st. Helena on her wheel, some
thing which has never even been at
tempted by a lady cyclist heretofore.
There is but one house on the fourteen
mile journey, seven of which are shaded
but uphill while the other seven are un-
shaded, over steep, dusty roads, on this
side OF the mountain. She was pretty
well exhausted from the trip, as she had
tried to ride as much of the distance on
her wheel as possible. She is very proud
of her feat, and we'll she may be, as any
one who has been over the stage road up
and down the mountain will agree that
for lady to make the trip alone and on a
wheel is truly remarkable. She says she
felt somewhat nervous all the time, as she
was unaccomp panied. Miss Palmer was
given quite a reception at the hands OF
her friends when she arrived at Calistoga-

FAIR MUSIC AWARDED.
Mechanics Institute Turns Down Frit

Mechanics Institute Turns Down Fritz
Scheel-The Fish Exhibit.
The directors of the Mechanics Institute
met last night at 81 Post street, and chose
music for the coming home products fair.
Fritz Scheel, who conducted orchestras
here for some time last year, had made
application to furnish music for the ex-
position. The directors considered his
offer, and then rejected it in favor of one
m ade by Gustav Hinrichs, a musician
now engaged at the TivolI.
The character of the fish exhibit was de-
termined. There will be three large tan ks
filled with different interesting food fish
displayed by the Fish Commission. a par
ticular feature will be the salmon exhibit,
which will show fish in all stages of de-
velopment, from the spawn to maturity.
Deep-sea fish will be shown frozen in blocks
of ice.
The art department will be in charge oil
Henry Raschen, and he will endeavor to
obtain as loan exhibit all the old mas
tiers in the possession of private persons in
this City and elsewhere in the State.
Messrs. Leggett, Hendrix and Head
were appointed a committee to arrange
for opening exercises, which it's the inten.
ton to make very unique and attractive.

of great interest to wheelmen who use the
Hill roads of that county, and II similar
legislation is enacted in other counties it
will do away with favorite practice of
wheelmen of tying a brush or limb OF a
tree to their wheels to be used as drag in
lieu of a brake. 1t provides that 1t shall
be unlawful for any person or persons to
drag over or upon any public highway of
Santa Clara County any bush, limbs of
trees or other articles used as brake or
drag for retarding speed attached TO any
bicycle or any other vehicle or convey
ance The maximum penalty for it's vio-
lation is $50 fine, or imprisonment in the
County Jail not to exceed twenty-five
days.
1t has been very general practice
among wheelmen to descend steep grades
by attaching a drag of some sort, but the
drag had tendency to tear up and de-
stroy the road surface and raise large
clouds of dust, and several bad accidents
have been narrowly averted where teams
became scared when the cyclist with a
drag attached attempted to pass. During
the last year light bicycle brakes have been
perfected which accomplish the purpose
for which they are designed, and it is
really easier for a wheelman contem-
plating billy trip to provide himself
with one of these than to cut and attach a
bush or treo limb.

VICIOUS DOGS MUST GO.
Carriers Will Not Deliver Mail Where
Unfriendly Animals Are
Kept.

Several times during the past few weeks
carriers have had occasion TO complain of
vicious dogs along their routes. On two
occasions the gray-coated public servants
have been severely bitten, while others
have only escaped a similar fate by virtue
of extra 1eetness OF foot.
There is a remedy, however, for such
evils. and John Mears, superintendent OF
the City division, proposes to enforce it.
Section 624 of the Postal Laws and Regu-
lations says:
Carriers are not required to run the risk
of being bitten by vicious dogs in deliver
ing mail matter. Persons keeping such
dogs must call at the Postotfice for their
mail, or if they wish it delivered at their
houses must render it safe for the carriers
to approach the premises"
The trouble complained of by the car
riers exists principally north of California
and west of Montgomery streets. No less
than fifteen property-owners have been
served with copy of the above regula-
ton within the past ten DAYS, and unless
they comply with its requirements they
will be forced to call at the general deliv-
cry for their mail.

CAPTAIN JAcoBsoN's ESCAPE.
Harbor Commissioners Meet-A Re
quest From a Japanese for
Special Wharf Rates.

The Blairmore is within 100 yards of
Watson's Point and there is now not q
shadow of a doubt that she will be
raised. At low water almost her entire
decks are bare and in consequence the
divers will have no difficulty in removing
the matches. The work of taking out the
ballast will begin to-day and at the same
time it is expected that the bodies en-
tombed in the hold will be recovered. Once
the ballast is removed and the ship made
alright it is thought that she will come
up on an even keel of her own accord.
Captain Jacobson of the schooner
Jennie and Edna had narrow escape yes
terday. He fell overheard at low water
and stuck in the mud. The water almost
covered his mouth and he was in danger
of strangling when John Olson. chief mate

over his shoulders and pulled him out.

had been made and the warrant wa:
ordered back for rectiication.
]. ]. Moore & Co. asked for reduction
IN the wharfage charges on the British
ship Sir Robert Fernie. The firm ass ert:
that the vessel was unnecessarily delayed
in discharging. The Commission ers
thought differently and the application
was denied.
J. S. Klmball & Co. have small house

transact much of their business connected
with their steamers. 1t is against the rules

near future his boats might touch at San
Francisco. He was told that there was
one uniform rate, and that all were treated
alike. The rate was given him and also {
