ite City trotting park this afternoon
John r. Gentry reduced the harness rec
ord of the state made by Nelson in

second behind The weather was fine
and the track was in excellent condition
which enabled the fast PAGERS to make
the time without effort. Gentry came out
first and paced the quarter in 81 1-2, the
half in LOB, the three-quarters in 135 and
the mile in 2.07 He went steadily and
easily, and seemed to make the mile with
ease. Robert.J had a marvellous burst of
speed on the back stretch, and paced the
three. quarters at a 2.04 gait. The races of
the PAGERS overshadowed the others on
the card and the balance seemed rather
dull. ss

ROW IN DEMOCRATIC CAMP
National Committee Man Harrity Is
Mad.
PENNSYLVANIA DEMOCRATS FIGHT.
ING AMONG THEMSELVES,

Harrity Writes Chairman of State Com
Was Gold Democrat in Last Cam
paign and This May Account for the
Trouble.
Philadelphia, August 29.-Wm. F.
Harrity, tonight sent letter to John NJ
German, chairman of the Democratic
state committee defining his position on
the movement agitated by certain factions
of the party to oust him from the national
committee. After referring to the call
issued by Chairman German for a meeting
OF the state committee at Reading, Pa,
tomorrow tonight, the evening of the
state convention for the purpose of con-
sidering the question of the vacancy in
the membership from Pennsylvania from
the Democratic national committee, and
of:.flling such vacancy. if the same b
found to exist, Mr.. Harrity continues:
The language Of your call practically
assumed that there is no yancancy in the
Pennsylvania membership of the Demo-
cratic national committee, and as a
matter of fact, there is none. / was
elected to that position by the Democratic
national convention upon the unanimous
recommendation of the Pennsylvania
delegation to that convention. / have not
resigned, and have not been removed,
nor is it in the power of any convention,
committee or person to remove me except
in the Democratic national committee it.
self regret to notice, that the indica-
tions are that some of the Democratic
leaders, among them some who are
officially connected with the organization
of the party, are bent on course which
they mistakenly think will benefit them
selves, regardless of it's effects upon the
party itself or it's future.
"The attack made upon me by some of
those within the Democratic party in
Pennsylvania is unjustifiable and in the
main, it is prompted by selfish, unworthy
and malign motives.
If at any time in the future the Demo-
cratic national committee, the only body
having jurisdiction of the qualification of
its members since the work and life of
the campaign committee to which it had
delegated its power in the premises,
ended with the campaign of 1856, shall
think it proper to further consider the
matter, I shall cheerfully submit to it's
authority and bow to it's decision.
Respectfully,
"W. F. HARRITY."

WRECK NEAR FRESNO.
Passenger Train Runs Into q Washout
and Is DHched-Miracuiou Es-
cope Of The PASSENGERS

FRESNO, CAL, Feb. 2.-Passenger train
No. 40. which leaves Fresno daily at 5 :4(
A. NJ, ran into washout two miles this
side of Borden, about 6 clock this morn
ing, and was ditched.
The train consisted of an engine, bag
gage and mail car, smoker and two
coaches. The engine passed in safety
but the baggage car and the smoker were
overturned, falling to the right side of the
track, while both the coaches were par.
TALLY derailed.
There were about twenty-five passen-
gers on the train, but not one was seri-
ously injured. Six or seven received
bruises or sprains, while the remainder
escaped with severe joIting.
The railroad men in this city, when
they heard OF the particulars of the acci.
dent, looked upon the escape of the pas
sengers as little short of miracle. Such
luck, they said, might be expected in one
out of thousand wrecks.
The speed OF the tram, which was going
ct the rate OF forty-hve miles an hour, un-
doubtediy prevented an awful catastrophe.
Had 1t been running more slowly, in
which case the engine might have been
disabled. the cars would have telescoped

he train was ditched near culvert.
Engineer John Taylor says that when he
arrived at the culvert he felt the engine

its weight.
Then the cars gave lurch and jumped,
breaking loose. The engine kept the
track and Engineer Taylor hurried on to
MADEIRA to get assistance. The coal in the
tender was stacked by the shock.
The track gave way on the east side and

ditched. The baggage. car and the smoker

When Express Messenger Simpson felt
the car going over he seized the hand hold
over the door. The door flew open and

some distance in the water, escaping with
a good shaking up and few bruises.
Had he renamed in the car he m light

was the worst damaged of the cars, ex-
cepting the baggage.

feet of water. There were five passengers

All escaped with q few bruises.
The rear OF the passenger-coach next to
the smoker was twisted from the track
and the steps were broken off all round,
the end of the car lying fiat on the
ground.
The last coach was badly wrecked, the
forewheels coming off and moving back
about six feet. letting the front of the car
fall almost to the ground on the track.
The damaged cars were put back on their
trucks In few hours and the train then
proceeded.

In the Senate this morning President
Simon declared m otion to proceed with

Dispersed BY Soldiers.

MADRID, SPAIN, Feb. 2.-Most of the
workingmen at Aranduez, in New CASTLE,
twenty-eight miles southeast of Madrid
went on strike to-day, ami began march
ing through the streets.
The crowd finally asse m bled around the
town hall. which they pelted with stones,
breaking a number of windows.
The police charged the mob and arrested
number of the rioters including several
women, but in the end the crowd proved
too strong for the police, who, finding
themselves powerless to check the disor-
der, appealed to the military authorities.
The military responded to the sum-
mons of the civil authorities and dispersed
the rioters. Soldiers are now patrolling
the streets.

WARL|kE FLEET
At SAN DIEGO
Five Fighting Vessels Now
at Anchor in the
Harbor.
The Number Will Be Doubled
Before the Water Fete
Opens.
Several British Cruisers to Partici.
pate in the Beardslee Naval
Demonstration.

SAN DIEGO, CAL, Feb. 2.-After lying
outside all night the flagship cruiser Phil
adelphia steamed into the harbor at 10
o'clock this morning and cast anchor in
the stream off the Santa Fe wharf and
within easy hailing distance of the moni-
tors Monterey and Monadnock and the
United States steamships Albatross and
Corwin. These, together with the flag
ship, now compose fleet of five of Uncle
Sans war vessels in port. Admiral
Beardslee came from the Philadelphia in
his launch last night and is now domi-
ciled with Mrs. Beardslee at Hotel del
Coronado, where they will remain until
after the water carnival on San Diego
Bay. February 21-22.
The Philadelphia left Callao on January
II, hnd the first day out passed the British
cruiser Comus, bound from Callao for
Acapulco. The Comus is expected to be
here In time to take part in the carnival.
On Sunday morning, the Oath, the Phila-
delphia arrived at Acapulco, where it
found the United States steamship Ma
rion, which had arrived the evening
before.
Two hours after the flagship had
dropped anchor the bat,le-ship Oregon
steamed slowly into port with flags and
pennants flying and its brilliantly bur.
nished armament glistening in the morn
ing sun. The sudden appearance of so
many American warships caused consid-
cradle alarm among the inhabitants of
the sleepy Mexican city until it was ex-
planned to them that Uncle Sam was still
friendly and that the vessels had simply
arrived within few hours Of each other
by chance. Three days later tine Phila-
delphia sailed for this port and the Oregon
and Marion were expected to leave on the
29th and 30tb, which would make them
due here about Saturday. Then there
will be fleet of eight war vessels in port,
carrying 2410 sailors and officers-bY far
the largest feet ever gathered in Pacific
American har Dor outside OF San Fran cisco.
The Petrol and Adams are also expected,
with one or two more British cruisers.
The presence of the admiral and the
large feet in San Diego harbor insures the
success of the coming carnival, and it
promises to be one of the greatest naval
and military demonstrations ever seen on
the Pacific. The military programme for
the week includes daily drills on the
streets by sailors and marines and an ex-
tended order drill and sham battle on
North Island, to be participated in by 800
sailors and marines under Lieutenant
Ingersoli of the Philadelphia. Admiral
Beardslee is greatly pleased at the prepa-
rations being made for the demonstration
in his honor and expressed himself as be-
ing anxious to do everything in his power
10 make the carnival a success.

TRIPLE TRAGEDY
NEAR TACOMA
John Lindstrom and Two
Sons Found Dead
in Bed.
The Father Believed to Have
Slain His Boys and Then
Himself.
Friends Of the O.d Man Suspect That
His Enemies Committed the
Crime.

TACOMA, WASH, Feb. "A horrible
tragedy was enacted on Sunday night on
Anderson Island, twelve miles west of
this city.
John L:ndstrom, the postmaster at
Vega, killed his two boys, Conrad and
Philip, aged and 10 years respectively,
and then fired bullet into his own brain,
dying instantly.
These are the facts as nearly as they can
be learned until Coroner Hoska completes
his investigation. As Lindstrom had
lately been involved in lawsuits with
neigh bors, some of his friends believe he
might have been murdered, and they
have asked the Coroner to examine into
the case very carefully.
LiDdstrom and his wife owned 200 acres
of land at Vega and 160 acres several
miles back on the island. On Sunday he
went to this latter farm to see if his stock
was all night. He was accompanied by his
boys.
AS usual they spent the night in the
house there. On Monday noon they had
not returned, and Mrs. Linds from, becom-
ing anxious, sent her daughters over to in
vestigate.
They were Mortified at finding their
brothers dead in bed, bullets having been
fired into their heads while they slept.
Across the other bed was the body of
their stepfather weltering in his blood
On the floor lay revolver.
Whether LiEdstrom was the author or
victim of an awful crime remains to be
determined.
If the former, his friends say he must
have been insane. Ten years ago Lind
strom was worth $4,000 in cash and real
estate, but by bad loans and his going as
surety on others notes he lost much
money.
In 1888 be married widow owning the
ranch on which he died. She had five
daughters, two of whom have since mar
lied. The boys were his only children.
