Seventy arc d Child Met With
a Terrible Death in
Alameda.
Suicide of Carpenter Who Left a
Family of Six-Progress of the
Nun cipal Campaign.

ALAMEDA, CAL, March 4.-Willam
Winn, a little boy about seven years DID,
was instantly killed by train on the
narrow gauge road this afternoon, near
his home on Encinal avenue. He was
playins on the street with another boy
when the train came in sight, and he said
to his com panion: 'See me get on that
train" At the same time he ran toward
the rapidly moving train and was drawn
or thrown beneath the cars and cut to
pieces. Bits of flesh were strewn along
the track and the body was terribly
mangled. From the account OF the boy s
playmate it would appear that the acci-
dent was due solely TO the dead boys tool-
hardness.
George E. Blake, carpenter, living at
24l5 Central avenue, who has been on a
PROLONGED spree, killed himself last mig ut
by taking a dose OF tincture OF opium
mixed with whisky. Blake was of intem-
perate habits, and his family of five chill
dren and wife have suffered greatly from
that fact. Three times previously Blake
attemp pied suicide after a de bauch like the
one which preceded his last and success

The money in the city treasury was
counted to-day, and it was found hat
there wa S sos, 600 on hand, there being just
78 cents more than the books showed was
charged to the Treasurer.
There is feeling of salts faction among
Alsmedans over the appropriation of
$500, 600 made by Congress for the continu
ance of the har Dor work. 1t is hoped now
that it will not become necessary to again
suspend operations.
As the municipal campaign progresses
it becomes more and more evident that
politics will cut little or no figure In it.
In the discussions OF the merits of the
various candidates one hears absolutely
no stress laid upon party.
On Saturday the Good Government Club
will hold its primaries and put its ticket
in the field and a lively contest is ex-

200 mem bers of the club, and most OF

the fight. The polls for the primaries
will be held at Linderman's opera-house
and will be open from 2 to $3.50 P. NJ.
Commencing this morning (Friday)
trains will be run as usual over the broad
gauge line. For several days they have
not been operated across the Alice-street
bridge, which has been UNDERGOING re-
pairs, but have gone around by East Oak
land. The bulk of the travel has been over
the narrow-gapge and that line has been
taxed TO accomm odate the passengers.

he became deIirious and DR.. /. Cohn was
called. The doctor treated the boy, but he
gradually became worse and tonight he
lied.
DR.. Cohn reported the case to Coroner
Baldwin and an inquest will he held to-
morrow. The two boys have always been
friends and the fatal blow struck was,
so it is said by Clyde, to be simply boy

force than was anticipated and in a place
not intended.

Finds That Il Was Due to Apoplexy
Coroner Hawkins yesterday investiga-
ted the case OF John Fenton, whose death
was reported to him as an accident, and
came to the conclusion that the certificate
of the physician who attended Fenton
was sufficient. DR.. Newman attended

Mrs. M. A. Driscoll, the stepdaughter of
the deceased, stated that when Mr.. Fen

He had been residing with her for six

her mother died, and they were on the
best of terms. After he was taken Ill she

The Alcazar Company Gives an
Amusing Performance, Ct
"By Proxy"

Fanny Rice and her company gave "a
Flower Girl of Paris" at the Colum bla
Theater last night for the first time in this
City. The work is described as an operate
costume comedy, and TO some extent JUS
titles the description. for the greater part
of the music consists of "gems" culled
from op ras, ranging from Dorothy" to
"RigoIetto," and the costumes, of the
powder. paint and patches period, are
for the most part exceedingly handsome.
Miss Rice should modify her flower cos
tune in the first act, though, for it makes
her look like bank whereon the wild
thyme blows.
The plot of "a Flower Girl OF Paris"
although easy to follow, has a good many
intricaces which give opportunities TO the
star for the display of her viyacity. Miss
Rec also sings good deal more than was
the case in 1.-THE French Ball."
Most of the mem bers OF the supporting
company have congenial roles in I" A
