Another Deep Diver.

Will J. Lawton has no ambition to
rival anybody in Aquatic records for
deep diving, not even the German lady
who p1unges from the height of sixty
feet, holding the championship of the
world, for ladies, in her: special line.
Mr.. Lawton, however, has made some
thing of record. He is a member of
the force employed by Savage & Sco-
field in their bridge construction work
on the Skokomish river. He was up on
staging few days since, engaged in
driving piles. All at once, and with
out warning, the staging begun to give
way beneath him, and he made 1unge
for the pile. CHANGING up he saw the
pile driving hammer suspended in mid
air, about ten feet above him, and, as
he thought, about ready to descend.
He looked down, land the water below
was filled with logs, except about SIX
feet, directly at the base of the pile on
which he was perched. There was no
time to soliloquize. He made the
jump, landed fairly in the water, and
the chill of the ice-cold bath was tenn
pered by the thought that he was out
from beneath the heavy hammer that
fell at the same moment he struck the
water, directly where he had stood. 1t
was narrow escape and the feat is
one that Mr.. Lawton does not care to
repeat.-O1ympian.

MADE A GHOUL!SH FIND
THE BODY OF A CHINESE INFANT
DISCOVERED IN A ZANJA
It Was Girl Baby and Had Probably
Been Murdered by Its I'm
natural Parents

Deputy Zanjero w. T. Mays made
ghoulish find early yesterday morning.
He was examining zanja No. 5 on Main
street, about a quarter of a mile below
Fortieth street, when he was Mortified
to discover the corpse Of child lying
in the bottom of the ditch. There was
10 water running at the time, and the
body had grounded on the bottom o1the
ditch. where it had evidently been
washed.
Mays picked up the body, which proved
to be two-months old Chinese girl
baby. Decomposition had not yet set
in, and the child had evidently been re-
Gently drowned. There was blue cap
still clinging to the little head. This
was the only article of clothing on the
body, and there was absolutely nothing
by which it could be identified. The
infant had blue eyes and light hair.
Girl babies are not in favor among
the Chinese. They are considered an
incumbrance rather than blessing, and
it is not at all improbable that the infant
found in the zanja had been drowned
by it's unnatural parents. This is the
was taken to Kregelo & Bresee's UNDER
taking parlors, where an inquest will be
held today If the infant is a victim
of foul play no efforts will be spared to
run down it's murderers.

STRUCK BY THE TRAIN
A DOWNEY RANCHER FATALLY
INJURED NEAR COMPTON
His Little Son Istantly Killed-Hurl-
ed Into the Air-Horses Dead
and Wagon Demolished

| With a terrific crash Southern Pa
cifc train, running at high rate of
speed, dashed into a farm wagon one
mile north of Compton at II o'clock
yesterday morning, instantly killing the
4-year-old. son of H. Krein, a farmer,
and fatally injuring the father.
Mr.. Krein, who lives about mile and
a half northeast Of Downey, had been
working in a field and had his little
son with him. Shortly before II o'clock
he started to drive home He reached
the railroad crossing about mile north
Of Compton just in time to meet the
northbound train for Los Angeles. Ex-
actly how the accident occurred may
never be known. The engineer states
that he whistled for the crossing and
that Krein drove right in front of the
train. It is known that the farmer was
blind in one eye and hard of hearing,
and the supposition Is that he drove
onto the railroad track without notic-
ing his.danger. r AT
Engineer Arthur Cooley did not see the
team until he was within seventy feet of
IHe CAoSoHs dNu iuHuilS dl Auil speeu.
He promptly reversed the lever and
threw on the air brakes, but the dis
tance was too short to stop in. The pilot
of the engine crashed squarely into the
wagon. Krein's little son was thrown
twenty feet, his neck broken and head
crushed in. Krein was also pitched sew
eral feet. When picked up it was found
that his injuries consisted of three brok-
en- ribs, an injured spine and several
scalp wounds. The wagon was demol-
lshed and both horses were killed.
!, AS soon as possible the train was
brought to stop and, the passengers
poured out. The child, who was already
dead, and it's father unconscious and
covered with blood, were placed upon
the train and taken back to Compton.

STOLE A WOMAN'S PURSE
A Thief Gets Away With $50 Of Mrs
Lemons Money

Mrs. Emily Lemon of 11O Belmont ave-
nue. called at the police station yesterday
afternoon to report that her purse, con-
tanning $50 had been stolen. The lady
had been round the city collecting her
rents. She owns a tenement house at
410 Seaton street and called there. A
family has just moved out of one of the
flats and she went into the vacant part
of the house to see about some needed
repairs. Her pocketbook, which she
carried in her hand. was laid down upon
a box while she went into another room.
On returning she found that her purse
had been stolen by some one who had
lodged into the room and out again.
1t contained $50 in gold besides some
silver. Mrs. Lemon is confident that she
knows who took her money. She gave
the name of the suspected party to the
detectives. st

THE DREYFUS CASE
Furnishes More Sensations for People
in Paris

LONDON, Nov. 19.-The Berlin corre-
spondent of the Standard says: The
murder of the German missionaries must
be laid chiefly to the account of the
Chinese priests and mandarins, who
egged on the mob by the assertion that
the missionaries had gathered at Yen
Chu Flu to celebrate All Saints day.
because that town is the birthplace Of
Confucius. They also attempted to con-
vince the emperor and empress dowager
and they seemed to have succeeded so
we'll that the emperor decided at first
merely to- appoint. a commission to in
quire into the matter.
The Shanghai correspondent Of the
Times says: Two steamers have been
chartered here to convey stores and
material to the German fleet in Kiao
Chau bay. The occupation is apparently
to be more than temporary. The Chi
nese general in command of the forts
decided to retire because he had no
ammunition.

A New Counterfeit

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1s.-The secret
service bureau announces the discovery
of a new counterfeit $40 silver certificate
and also counterfeit national bank
note. The silver certificate is a photo
graphic production, printed on two
pieces of paper pasted together. No at
tempt has been made to color the back
of the note, which is shade of brown
instead Of green. The seal is colored a
bright pink. The note is badly printed
and the lathe work is blurred and in
distinct. The national bank note is on
the First National bank of Joplin, Mo-.
series of 1882. 1t is also printed on two
pieces of paper and the silk fibre in the
genuine is initiated by pen and ink
marks.
