STRUCK BY A TRAIN.
Dead Body of a Man Found at a
Street Crossing at San Jose.

SAN JOSE, Oct. 26-The dead body
of a man was found this morning lying
at the Hedding-street crossing of the
Southern Pacific Railroad track. The
body was moved to the Morgue, where
it was identified as that of Thomas
Shannon, who had served a term for
vagrancy in the County Jail early this
year.
The Coroner's jury decided that
death was caused by being struck by
a passing train.
The man was supposed to have been
drinking yesterday. The ribs both
front and back, were broken, his collar
bone was broken, other bones pressed
against the lungs, and the bowels and
stomach ruptured.
The body was about twenty feet from
the track when found, where it was
probably thrown by the pilot of the
engine. He is supposed to have been
hit before midnight by the freight.
The officers doubt if the mans true
name is Shannon. Nothing is known
of his history He was about 80 years
of age, with brown hair and reddish
mustache. Some statements were made
that he claimed to have come from San
Francisco.

The Schooner Novelty Brings Down
Twenty-three Passengers.

ABERDEEN CWash.), Oct. 26.-The
schooner Novelty arrived Sunday from
st. Michaels with twenty-three return
ing miners, nine of whom have been on
the Yukon several years. They all tell
about the scarcity of provisions at Cir
Gle City and Dawson, and give that as
their reason for leaving for the winter.
They nearly all have claims, and bring
money back with them, but were very
silent as to amounts.
The following is the list of passengers:

Henspeter II. Henspeter, Martin l..
Nelson Harry Sanders, F. d. Warner,

Doyle, all of St. Louis, Mo-; H. Jacobs,

naming three could not be learned.
Mesrs Corcoran and Leahy are old
Montana miners, and went UP on the
Cleveland in August, but could get no
farther than Minook, their supplies be-
ing landed there. There were three in
their party. and they located seven
claims on Dawson, Alder and Laura
Creeks, leaving their partner. named
Murray, to look after the claims this
winter. They say that they have but
little faith in the Minook district, and
look on it as simply boom. They re-
port that Ex-Governor McGraw and the
Bigelow boys of Seattle are located at
Rampant City, where they are in the
real estate and mining claim business.

FATAL ACCIDENT
AT OREGON CITY.
A Bulkhead Gives Way From the
Pressure of Water.
Carrying Ten WOrknen Down With the
Flood and Broken Beams.
Two Men Crushed to Death and
Five Others Injured, Four Seri-
ously-The Three Others Fight
Their Way Through Broken
Timbers and Water to Safety.

OREGON CITY (Or). Oct. 26.-Jacob
McComb and George Stor.ch were killed
and five others injured in an accident
at the power station of the Portland
General Electric Company at noon to-
day.
Ten men We're working on a bulk
head, when the timbers gave away
from the pressure of water, and all
were carried down with the flood and
broken timbers. McComb and Storich
were crushed against the timbers and
killed, While five others We're seriously
injured. Three of the workmen es-
capped uninjured.
The bulkhead is sixty feet long from
the power station on the east to the
east wall of the boat canal on the west
At the lower end of the new extension
of the power-house another bulkhead
had been made, and it was desired to
take out the old one. so as to let the
water to the turbines in the new ex-
tension
The work on the old buIkhead had
removed much of the foundation, and
the men were to-day taking off the nuts
and cutting the bolts, intending to re-
move the entire old bulkhead wall to-
night, but it broke prematurely. Tons
of timber and a fall of water forty feet
high overwhelmed the men without a
moments warning, and those who es-
capped held their breath and fought
their way through broken timbers and
the water to the surface.
The dead are: Jacob Macomb, George
Storich.
Seriously injured: Carl Newburg,
head cut; Harvey Little, head cut and
arm bruised; Thomas Smith, spine
hurt; w. w. Smith, leg broken.

dynamite rammed down in the road
bed. That would have done it.
Il don't say that we have any evil
denee that such was the case, but when
/ sent word to our detective, Mr.. Hum
phreys, to make Investigations along
that line, he told me that he had reason
to suspect something of the sort be-
fore. So 1 ordered that a thorough in
vestigation be made.
You must bear in mind that an hour
before this wreck another and heavier
train passed over the road in safety
that thirty minutes before that train
went up on the other track, and noticed
nothing wrong. and that nobody heard
any report. Whatever caused the acci-
dent, it is certain that the engine went
clear over the obstruction, and was in
jured after it left the track"
This view was corroborated later by
a special engineer who had come with
the party. He examined the engine, and
found that all its injuries are what are
considered superficial among railroad
men,

CHICAGO WHEAT MARKET.
WEAK AT THE OPENING, BUT
STRONG AT THE CLOSE.
A Gain of One Cent Per Bushe1 for
December, and One-Eighth
of a Cent for May.

CHICAGO, Oct 26 = Wheat was
weaker for about ten minutes after the
opening, when local speculation became
firm, and it advanced 11sc from the
lowest point. The trading was chiefly
in December, and to this future was
confined the advance The opening
sd decline at Liverpool, and plentiful
rains in Nebraska and Kansas. On
the other hand, receipts were light.
One feature of the days trading
which had a marked effect on final fig
ures was caused by a disposition Of
shorts in wheat to cover and to put
them out for May, and as a result of
this the spread between those two
most effected widened to 5sc.
A weakening feature during the fore
noon was a reported decline at con-
tinental markets, but when the pubic
cablegrams giving the close at Paris
and Antwerp came to hand it was
found that the reductions were not as
great as had been privately reported
The rain in Kansas and elsewhere Of
the day before was said to be spreading
in this direction, but it was to be ac-
companied or Immediately succeeded by
much colder weather This augured no
good TO the belated crop, and caused
some buying.
The receipts at primary markets We're
very close to the quantity on the same
date of the year before. To-day they
were 161S,00O bushels; last year, L
173000 bushels. Bradstreet's report cf
the worlds visible supply made an in
crease since last week of 4,3l3,oOo
bushels. 1913 900 bushels of it on this
side, and 100000 bushels in and afioat
for Europe.
The market grew quite strong toward
the close. St. Louis reported that all the
contract wheat there, about three
quarters of a million bushels, had been
sold out The local crowd had gotten
short and attempted to cover, but there
was very little for sale. December
opened unchanged at about from 9313Gp
933sc. and declined to 93c. It rose
afterward to 941sc, fell back to 93l4c.
and near the close sold up again to
941bc. closing at 94ssG9412c. May
ranged from 90;A 0913sc. and closed a.
913,c. The net gain for the day IN
December was 1c, and in May only 1sc
