THE CAR CROWDED AT The TIME
No Clew as Yet to the Identity of the
Person Who Caused the
Accident.

William II. Crocker, the president of
the Crocker- Woolworth Bank, had a mar
row escape from bullet fired into a train
in which he was travelling to his summer
residence at Burlingame on Friday after
noon.
With his wife he had taken the o'clock
train from the Third and Townsend street
depot. The car in which he sat was
crowded with society people on their way
home TO their country residences near
Burlingame and San Mateo. Just before
the train reached the station at Twenty
fifth and Valencia streets the passengers
were suddenly alarmed by The crashing
OF one of the car windows by a missile
thrown or fired from the outside. Mr..
Crocker was busy reading paper at the
time and the small particles of glass from
the shattered window were scattered over
himself and Mrs. Crocker.
For short time great excitement pre-
vailed in the car. Investigation failed to
reveal any missile that might have caused
he damage. Tue appearance of the hole
in the glass and the absence of any trace
of a stone indicated almost conclusIvely
that the & lass had been broken by bull
let.
Mr.. Crocker last night was inclined to
make light of the matter. He readily
gave an account of the accident, but he
added that the police had not been noti-
lied of the occurrence nor had any effort
been made to investigate the matter. Il
mad really almost forgotten about the af-
air." he said, until you called 1t to my
mind. OF course many of the passengers
were frightened, but obody was injured.
Immediately after the crash we made
an attempt to discover just what had
caused the mischief. Although we
searched very carefully we were unable to
discover any stone or other missile that
might have been thrown by hand. The
fine glass had been scattered about, but
no trace was to be found of the object
that had broken the window. The train
was crowded with Burlingame and society
people. and il was a very fortunate thing
indeed that none of the passengers re-
ceived any injury"
The local officials of the Southern Pa
cific Company were reticent about the
matter. 1t is believed that they are max
ing quiet investigation of the affair, and
it is not i'm probable that they will dis
cover the identity of tho person whose
carelessness or maliciousness c,me so near

Thousands of people who seemed to have
lost their youth by disease aud suffering
have found it again through the mse of DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, the
most perfectly natural and scientific rcjuve
nator of the physical forces ever known to
medical science.

A SAILOR KILLS HIMSELF.

william Schnittke Ends His Life With
Carbolic Acid While Despondent.
William Schnittke, sailor lately en-
ployed on the United States revenue cut
ter Corwin, committed suicide last ever
ing by swallowing dose OF carbo.lc acid
at the threshold of Miss Wegener's room
in Peat's lodging house, 304 Third street.
For the past few months the suicide had
been without EN- mployment and was fnan-
clally assisted by Miss Wegener. A short
time ago The young woman was taken ill
and in consequence was unable to divide
her meager income with him. The sailor,
according TO Miss Wegener. at her sugges-
tion endeavored to obtain employ ment on
land, and failing became despondent.
Last evening lie called at the young
woman's room, and finding she had no
money for him excused himself from the
room, saying that he would return in a
few minutes. This he did, but the sound
of falling body in the halfway heralaed
his return. Miss Wegenar,- on hearing
the noise, hurried from her room and
found the sailor full length on the floor in
an unconscious condition. She immedi-
ately summoned help and it was then
found that the dying man had taken car
bolic acid. An emetic was administered
but the corrosive poison had taken too
strong a hold on the tissues of the de-
spondenr man and he soon died. The
body was removed to the Morgue. 1t is
not known whether or not the deceased
had any relatives in this country.

CHARGED WITH ARSON.
S. j. Riley, Drunken Laborer, Saved

S. j. Riley, Drunken Laborer, Saved
by Girl From Being Burned
to Death.
S. J. Riley, laborer out of work, was
arrested last night by Policeman R. j.
McGrayan on charge of arson.
A subsequent investigation by Nc
Grayan led him to believe there was no
foundation tor the charge. but as Riley
had been booked he will have 10 remain il
prison till Fire Marshal Towe makes him
self conversan: with the facts.
Riley lives in small house, 933L Fol-
som street, owned bv Captain Dunievy
1t is in the rear of 933. About o clock
last night a still alarm was sent to Engine
Company that there was fire in Riley's s
house, and at the same tiAne Police m an
McGravan was notified by a small boy
that Riley had set fire 10 his house.
When the engine company and McGrayan
arrived they found that the incipient
blaze had been extinguished by Belle
Largue, girl Is years of age, who lives in
the house in front, thereby saving the
house from being destroyed and Riley
from being burned to death.
The young girl saw the fire ana promptly
broke in the door, seized q quilt and grab
blng burning coaloil lamp from the floor
she threw it outside ana then threw the
quilt on the flames on the floor and
stamped them out.
McGrayan learned from Riey's wife
that he went home helplessly drunk and
fell on the floor. There was a rickety ia.
ble near his head, and unthinkingIy she
placed The coaloil lamp on the table while
she locked the front door and went to the
butchers shop. 1t is supposed that after
she left Riley attempted to rise from the
5or, and in doing SO knocked over the
lamp, which exploded.

Now that J. J. O'Bren & Co. have salts
factorily adjusted their business affairs,
the association with them of Mr.. T. r.
Bannerman as their financial and con-
fidential man gives strength to the con-
Germ. While Mr.. Bsnnerman has filled
several important positions in San Fran
cisco, his reputation is not merely local
one, having acted as private secretary to
Postmaster er-GeDeral James, and been
prominently identified with several busi-
ness enterprises in the East.
Here he served for time with the
Hipernia Bank, was for many years
cashier of the firm of O'Connor, Moffatt
e Co. and later was one OF the executors
OF Mr.. OConnor's estate. He is popular
alike with the public and the employees Of
the establishment.

The Cuban Bond Deal.

Evidence is daily accum Mating of
the existence Of a scheme fora gigan-
tic bond deal under the name of Cuban
independence. It's latest form is that
influential capitalists, both in this
country and in Europe, propose to
take the bonds of the Cuban republic
to an amount necessary to reimburse
Spain for the loss of the Island, and
enable the new government to get a
start, provided the United States will
take control of the CUBAN custom
houses, and see that the revenues are
collected and the financial affairs prop
erly conducted. The proposition has,
it is stated in the Washington Post,
been presented to President Mckinley,
Il means a United States guarantee of
the proposed bonds. The Proposition
sounds we'll. It would be a good thing
if Spaing would relinquish her sover.
eighty to Cuba, and, subject to the con
sent of the CubaGs, deliver the island
to the United States for fifty millions
of dollars. The people of this country
would approve the transaction. But
"reimbursing Spain for the loss Of the
island means the redemption of Span
ish war bonds amounting to over three
hundred millions Of dollars, to secure
which Cuban revenues are pledged to
the b%Ondholders. 1t is these bondhold-
ers, and not Spain. that are to be REIN
bursed. Their bonds are not worth
more than Is cents on the dollar, which
would make the entire debt worth only
seventy-fve millions OF dollars. If the
government of the United States should
give even one hundred and fifty millions
of dollars to reimburse Spain. the bond
holders would get it all and reap a pro
fit of seveDty-ive millions of dollars.
What a corruption fund they could
spare out Of this with which to employ
lobbyists at Washington. And what q
scandal it would be then to buy Cuba
