An extra freight going west on the Den

The switch was left open. The first Sec

baggage cars and one passenger coach.
Engineer John West and Fireman Dem
ny Donahue were instantly killed. The

to be rescued through holes cut in the
coach. Some were bruised and cut, but 1t
Is thought none were seriously injured.
All the passengers on the wrecked Sec

seeing the open switch, blew his whistle,
reversed the engine and stuck to his post.
But for this prompt action many more
would have been numbered among the
dead. The accident occurred at dan

where little more momentum would
have precipitated the entire train into the
water.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 2S.-The ac-

commenced today.
Nineteen runs, at speeds varying
from 5.S3 to 1877 knots over the measured
mile course off Bluff point were made in
order to determine the speed revolu-

Everything worked very satisfactory
except in the thirteenth run, when the
boilers primed while steaming at elev-

slowed down while the water carried
over was drained from them.
The four consecutive hours trial takes
place tomorrow morning, back and forth
over course running northwest from
Hunters point to Red rock, twelve miles
In length. The required speed for this
