CENSUREO The ROAD,

Taken to Task for I'm
proper Tenders.
The Supervisors Asked to Compel the
Car Lines to Have Safety
Devices.

The Southern Pacific received another
hard rap yesterday when CoToner's jury
impaneled to inquire into the death of
John Figone. who was killed by Kearny-
street car on Tuesday last. returned YER
dict strongly censuring the railroad for
not using proper tenders. incidentally
the Supervisors were asked to take some
steps for the safety of the citizens.
l.. Hirst testified that the accident hap
pened about seventy-tive feet from the
California street crossing, and said he did
not hear the motorman ring the bell.
said the front wheels OF the car passed
twice over the boys body.
Crawford, the motorman, said he was
looking straight ahead and did not see
the boy until he was struck. He reversed
the current after golng about eight feet,
causing the car to go back about three
feet. He was looking straig hit ahead and
did not see the boy, neither did he ling
the bell.
The Jury, after being out something
over an hour, returned the following YER
diet:
THAT John Flgone came to his death
through accident caused by his own care
lessness in having been run over by car
11O3 of the Market-street Railway Com
pany. on Kearny street, between Sacra-
mento and California, on July IA, 1896, at
about IL 80 A. NJ, and We believe that the
tenders used on the said car and the cars
of the Market-street Railway Company
and other systems of the City are faulty
and lacking in the necessary construction
requisite for the saving of human life in
such cases.
1--WE, therefore. feel it is imperative
that the Supervisors should compel the
Market-street Railway Company and
other street railway companies of San
Francisco to adopt at once, in the interest
of public safety, the improvements so
sadly needed.
1--WE further find that the motorman
and conductor on said car No. 1lO3, at the
time of said accident, were blameless. !"

BONNELL WAS DISMISSED
There Was a Story of Discrep.
ancy in Redington & Co.'S
Books.
The Firm Lost Nothing, but the Bon.
nell Brothers, Manager and Cash.
Ter. Left the Store.

Following the withdrawal of Allison C.
Bornell from the position of manager of
j. d. Redington & Co., the wholesale
druggists, rumor was current yesterday
that there was something wrong in the
firms accounts. The amount, so far as
could be learned, was not less than $25. 900.
Last Tuesday Mr.. BonneII was at his
desk, but at noon he left and did not re-
turn, for his position was then made va
cant. AT the same time James E. Bonnell,
the cashier, and brother of the manager,
was dismissed.
Allison Bonnell had been a trusted en-
ploye OF the firm for more than fifteen
years, and it is said that so fully did he
enjoy the confidence and esteem of his
employers there was recently serious talk
OF making him a partner in the concern.
James BonDell declined to 90 into par
nculars last night. He declared that his
brother and himself had withdrawn from
the employ of Redington & Co. to
20 into business for themselves, which
they had intended to do almost imme-
dlately. But he refused to speak about
the rumored discrepancy in the accounts.

The Scenic Railway Runs Better Now
Than Before the Fire.
The effects of the recent fire at the
Chutes can hardly be seen now, and the
big scenic railway is running much better
than at first, it having been rebuilt in sew
eral places where defects existed. On the
14th of July it carried nearly 5000 pas
sengers and there was not an accident, a
fact of which the management feels Justly
proud.
The performances given every afternoon
and evening in the big Casino are growing
very popular, and the able feats of Vir-
ginia Aragon, the wire.walker, and the
daring Marlo-Dunham family, bring forth
rounds of applause. Al Hazard is a clever

One Man Killed by Collapse of a
Frail Trestls Bridge.
Heavy Electric Motor and Freight Car
In the Center when 1t Broke
Like u Card House.

Cleveland, O., Jan. 9.-The Akron. Bed
ford & Cleveland Inter-Urban Railway Com
pany's bridge, which spanned the Thinkers
Creek, Just southeast OF Bedford township,
collapsed shortly after daylight this MORN
ing, and a powerful 1O0-horsepo wer motor.
on which were three tratnmen, and attached
to which was heavily laden Pennsylvania
Company coal car, plunged to the bed OF
the creek, sixty feet below.
William Young, one OF the trainmen, was
instantly killed. He was crushed and ground
beneath the falling cars untilhe was scarcely
recognizable. The other two uanmen,
Haymaker and Gieb, niraculously escaped
instant death. They were both so badly in
dured. however, that they may die.
Fortunately there were no passengers on
the train. the regular passenger car having
passed over the bridge few moments be-
fore the structure collapsed.
The train that took the frightful plunge
was a work train. Its weight was tre-
motor, for which the bridge was designed.
The bridge that cola psed was a frail tres
tie structure, and was built by the A. B. &
O. Company for the traffic OF the road.
The span that crossed the creek was
about rs feet long, and the train was just
about in the center of this span when the
structure opened up, as though it were made
of cardboard, and allowed the train, with
fts human freight. to plunge into the ravine
below.
At 1890 Lyman Haymaker died in the
power house. Charles Gieb cannot recover.
