PASADENA

PASADENA Oct. 10.-(Regular Cor
respondeece.) EX-Policeman j. w.
Beebe Of this city was driving in Los
Angeles yesterday afternoon. When
near the bridge across the Los Angeles
river his team became unmanag geable
and Mr.. Beebe jumped out. The two
colts tstched to light buggy being very
spirited animals, dashed on irto the
river bed and became badly tangled up
with the hars,ass and shafts. One of
them was drowned and, it was necessary
to lift the other out with a derrick, so
soft and deep was the sand into which
it had sunk. The buggy was a bad
wreck.
THAT FUNERAL CAR
Fault has been found With the re-
Gently inaugurated practice Of usirg car
No. 81 Of the Pasadena and Los Angeles
electric road both for funeral purposes
and for passenger service. Questioels
have arisen in some minds as to the ef-
feet the use of the car for these two
purposes might have upon public health.
The car is draped for fun neral service, to
take the place of a hearse, by the Lip
pencott Undertaking company. In it the
deceased, clergymen, mourners, etc, are
conveyed to the cemetery. OF course
were victims of contagious diseases
taken ix1 the car there might be danger,
but no such cases are taken. The re-
mains of Frank Grimm of North Men
ton avenue were to have been conveyed
In the car, but were no, because, on
account of suspicious symptoms con-
nected with the death, Health Officer
Rowland refused to permit it. The
En-, o1 w. e..
permit must be issued by the health
officer for all burials and he will see
that the funeral car of the Lippencott
company is not used for the interment
of deaths from contagious causes.
