ENGINEER SAM CLARKE'N MONUMENT
1t Has Been Erected in the Cemetery
at Stockton.
The Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
gineers Well Pleased With
It's Execution.

The resting-place of Samuel Clarke,
buried beneath his engine when the
first train out of this city during the
memorable railroad strike in July, 1894
was wrecked by some of the strikers
over in Yolo, is now ornamented by a
beautiful and imposing monument in
the cemetery at Stockton.
The monument was but recently com
pleted by Stockton firm, and on Mon
day it was formally accepted by COM
mittee, consisting of I. Jordan, Will
lam Hatfield and Emile F'rick, from Lee
land Stanford Division, No. 2S3, of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers,
who went to Stockton for that purpose
The sum of 5000 was raised for the
monument, and the sarcophagus was
purchased to mark the spot in which
the martyred engineer lies buried. The
monument is of Barre granite and the
base and curbing of the lot of Califor
MIA granite. The design is by the Stock
ton firm of Dickson, Woodruff & Cra-
mer, and all of the work except the carv
ing of the Barre granite was done by it.
The eastern portion of the monument
was brought from Boston by the South
ern Pacific Railroad free of expense to
the engineers. 1t stands fully 6 feet
high, and is 6 feet inches by feet 2
inches at the base, and the cap is 3
feet inches by 2 feet. On the broader
side of the die appears the following in
scription:

A NEW YEARS GIFT.

One That Was Received by a Well
known Local school Teacher.
Miss Sarah NJ Jones, Principal of the
Fremont School in this city, and a grad
uate of OberIin College, Ohio, received
on Monday as holiday present, a docu-
ment that greatly surprised and equally
gratified her. 1t was the broad parch-
ment of that noted institution of learn
ing, awarding it's graduate of many
years ago, for merit, success and credit
reflected upon the college, the degree
of Bachelor of Letters.
The recipient had no knowledge, prior
to the vote of issuance, that she was to
be thus honored-nor indeed any ex-
pectation of the distinction, more es-
pecially as so many years have elapsed
since she was graduated from the halls
of Oberlin.

Serious Accident TO George Hanlon,
the Elderly Farmer.
The sad news was brought to the city
last night by Charles Z. Spencer that
George Hanlon, the well-known and
widely farmer whose home is
on the old Placerville road, about three
miles from Routier Station, met with
an accident yesterday that may cause
his death in a few hours. Mr.. Hanlon
is about 70 years of age. which makes
his chances for recovery very slight.
1t seems that one of the gates on the
farm required repairing, and Mr. Han
lon undertook to do the work himself
The gate is a very high one, and he was
about ten feet above the ground when
he lost his balance and fell over back
ward
He struck on the back of his head and
shoulders, swapping the ligaments of
the neck, and was unconscious last
evening. 1t was feared he would not
be able to survive his injury Mr. Han
lon has resided at his present home
forty-one years, and is known to old
residents all over the county

It was the intention of the engineers,
says the Stockton Independent" of
yesterday, to have the acceptance of
the monument attended with some de-
gree of cremony, but, as the completion
was delayed until after the commence
ment of the rainy season, the ceremo-
nies were dispensed with. The commit
tee eaccepted the monument, assuring the
local marblemen of their entire salts
faction with the work
After the acceptance the grave was
decorated by the committee. The gem
tlenen left on the afternoon train to re-
port to the division which sent them
here. They promise to send to the local
firm of marblemen some testimonial of
the appreciation of the engineers for
tie work

BY the strangest coincidence, says the

They began to hunt around, and found

Charles Crowley. business manager
of the Phoenix (Ariz) Gazette gives the
following as the reason why Gen. Crook
retired: when Crook started after Ge-
ronimo i'm the seventies, he took only
small force of soldiers, but large force
of Indian scouts. When he got down to
Sonora, Mexico, to where Geronimo had
retreated, these scouts turned traitors
They threw away the provisions, filled
up all the water holes they came across
and in other ways heightened the hard
ships of the campaign. On account of all
this, when the men finally overlook &c
ronimo, they were half starved and near
ly famished Crook saw this and so did
Geronimo, for the scouts had told him.
It's all right to curse Geronimo, but no
man who knows anything about him will
deny that he was a Shrewd, clever scoun-
drel. He was quick to take in the situa-
small force, told the general he would
either have to make terms or be annihi-
lated. Crook, under those circumstances
decided to make terms, and, according
to the dictation of Geronimo, promised
as a United States soldier and a gentle
man not to make war upon the Indians
any more. Crook, thinking of his men
and not of himself, for Crook was not
man to think of himself very much,
made the promise and was allowed to es-
cape. When he came back he was re-
tired at his own request and Gen. Nelson
A. Miles succeeded him.

a call for more margins meant serious

he covered his white felt hat with water
and, rushing back into, the corn pit, he
waved his dripping hat in the air, shout
ing: 'Hurrah, boys, the rain has come. -
The attack was so sudden there was no
