Yesterday morning the south end Of
the Terminal tunnel, which terminates
in Twenty street, was badly in
jured by cave-in of the roof of the
tunnel, about 20 feet from the south
end of the passage. The accident oc-
Cured just as the rear end of freight
train had passed by, some of the de-
bris falling on the last car. Several
tons of earth and stone fell from the
roof, carrying with the mass the heavy
timbers which gave the roof but weak
support. Several bOX-cars were stand
ing on the side track of the tunnel and
were damaged. The debris is piled up
on both tracks and has delayed traffic

away the obstructing earth and stone
and build stronger supports to the roof
The cavern was caused by the damp
condition of the ground, but has been
on the point OF falling for some time
owing to the weak support given by the
timbers underneath. The place where
the roof gave way is between the south
opening Of the tunnel and the lower
end of that part of the roof underneath
the Riverside bar mill. which was
arched with brick at the time the tun-
mel was cut through. The north end or
the tunnel was cut through heavy rock
and there is no danger of any cave-in
occurring at that part. The south end
has been shaky ever since the tunnel
was put through, owing to the unsub-
sJantial condition 81 the ground over

Apprehension has been frequently
felt by the workmen in the mill over
the tunnel, who feared that the tunnel
might cave through at any time and the
mill so with il. This fear has been
| felt. especially when the ground would
be Jared by the working of the heavy
machinery of the mill. This accident
will probably lead to measures to pre-
vent the occurrence of a more serious

CHILDREN'S FRIENDS.
Gratifying Decrease in the Number
OF Calls on the Society.

The Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Children held its monthly
meeting last night at School Superin-
tendent Erlewine's office, President
Van Norden in the chair. officer Healy
submitted a report of thirteen cases
investigated, corrected or on hand, the
smallest list since the society was form
ed, which the members take to be a
good sign of the effectiveness of the
work of this charity, and as proof that
its influence is felt and respected.
There was "a long and interesting
consideration of several cases of chill
dren needing the care of the society
and homes where they can be properly
reared. That, in fact, is the chief
problem that confronts the society at
every meeting-how to provide good
homes for the children it rescues from
cruelty and associations that would
eventually make them of the criminal
class.
The routine business of the society
was light, and the evening was given
over mainly to consultation relative to
special cases and of helpless little ones.
The society resolved, after long con-
sideration, to respectfully ask the court
having jurisdiction, to leave the Pugh
child with its foster mother, if under
all the circumstances known to the
court it can find it within it's power
to do so, as the society. from knowl

PLEASED WITH CALIFORNIA.
WHAT EASTERN CHRISTIAN EN-
DEAvORERS SAY.
They Speak Enthusiastically of
Their Reception by the
Sacramentans.

The Christian Endeavorers who came
from the far East to hold their annu-
al convention and sample the proven
biaI open-heartedness and hospitality
of California We're evidently we'll pleas
ed with their experience.
The current issue of The Golden
Rule" published in Boston, shows
what the Christian Endeavorers said
about California when they got home.
Pages are devoted TO descriptions of
the big meetings and of the points
which struck the visitors as most in
teresting and attractive in the
land of the setting sun. Clippings
here and there from the enthusiastic
account of the affair are as follows:
Soon we began to come to decorated
stations. The first at which We stopped
was Auburn Flowers! Everybody's
hands were full of them. They were
pinned on every ones coat The stems
were stuck into hats and pockets.
Great spikes of gladiolas We're thrust
into our hands. Flowers of speech also,
in the shape Of a beautiful poem. neat
ly printed on cardboard. Yes, and fruit
of all kinds, luscious figs and peaches
and plums and the rest of California's
bounty.
Was ever a greeting heartier than
Sacramento gave us? The station
swarmed with dy-handed young
folks. They pressed into the cars with
their beautiful burden of flowers. An
impromptu reception was held. Purple
and gold electric lights swung every
where. Palms and gigantic stalks of
bamboo adorned the station walls.
From this point on. through all the
lovely Sacramento valley-and what a
paradise it seemed after the dreary
deserti-the California Endeavorers
We're always with US, for the San
Francisco young people had sent the
van of their Reception Committee even
to the State Capital.
The restaurants of San Francisco
were the constant admiration of those
delegates who took a room for their
lodgings, and then broWsed around for
their daily food. The amount and va
riety of good wholesome food that was
we'll served for - and 30 cents was
cause for daily wonder.
"One delegate complained that he
had to stop buying fruit because they
would insist on giving him a dozen to
sixteen peaches for a nickel"
