HAS A MAJORITY OF SHARES
OVER S2,ooo,Ooo PAID UNION
 TRUST COMPANY.

The Iong-talked-of and much-discussed purchase of the San Francisco and San Joaquin Valley Railway by the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway is an ac- complished fact The Call in its dis patches of yesterday from Topeka, Kans., where the stockholders of the latter road are holding their annual meeting, an- nounced the fact that the purchase of the Valley Railway by the Santa Fe had been formally approved. Such is the case, and the purchase is confirmed by Captain A. H. Payson, second vice president of the Valley road, who stated yesterday that the requirement of the Valley road by the Santa Fe was a fact.
 Captain PaySon affirmed that he him. self had received no formal notice of the purchase of the road but he knew it had been consummated because the money for 22 ,9lS shares of the stock had been paid to the Union Trust Company by the Santa Fe people and the stock had been trans ferred to them. The purchase price was s100 a share, making the sum paid yester- 176O shares of the Valley road stock, so that the total cost of the road to, the Santa Fe people at the price of $10O a share will be $4057,S00 The Santa Fe road made arrangements with the Union Trust Company whereby they were to be in- formed of the ratification of the purchase by telegraph and were to pay for and transfer the amount of stock in their pos session at the price agreed on.
 The purchase of the Valley road, or at least of a controlling interest in the stock, gives the Santa Fe lines an entrance into San Francisco. This means the consum- nation of long desired deal on the part of President E. P. Ripley. Prior to the meeting of the stockholders the purchase of the Valley road had been practically agreed on, and the formal ratification al the Topeka meeting came not in the nature of a surprise, as it was a foregone conclusion that such would be the case
 Captain Payson said that he could not speak for the future policy of the road He does not think, however, that at pres ent there will be any change in the off, cers and directors of the Valley road

Private Masquerade Given by La Estrella Parlor of the Native

The private masquerade given in Native Sons Hall Thursday night by La Estrella Parlor, Native Daughters of the Golden West, was a decided success as to att tendance of maskers and onlookers. There were quite a number of charming cos- tunes and as usual at affairs of that character many that were grotesque and many very plain. In the grand march there were nearly one hundred couples. The award of prizes was:

and Superintendent James Agler says that it was a pure accident and that neither of the engineers is to blame.
 "As far as I am able to judge" said he, mo one is to blame for the col lision. We have been very busy here for the last four months, having 8 large force of men employed changing the tracks and widening the mole. This is the first accident that has oc- cured. The signal was given for the Berkeley local to stop, and the engi- neer applied the brakes; but the tracks were just like glass from the sea water which had been blown on them by the heavy wind. The result was that

 Engineer Hart and Fireman Purvis on the switch engine jumped from the cab just before the collision and es- capped injury. Fireman Worthy of the local train stayed with the engine, and was not hurt. Two of the gravel-cars were bent almost double by the shock, and the heavy granite rocks with which they were loaded were scattered all around. The coaches of the local were only damaged to the extent of few broken windows.

Oakland Office San Francisco Call,
 90S Broadway, Dec. g. "HE storm was incidentally re-
 sponsible this morning for a very
 serious train wreck on the broad
 gauge pier. The Berkeley local crashed into a gravel train, and both locomotives were seriously damaged. J. W. Jonathan, a horsetrainer, who was in the last car of the local, was thrown down violently, and several of his ribs were broken. Engineer Sulli- van of the local met with an injured knee, but there were no other acci- dents.
 The mole is being widened to admit of extra tracks, so that a twenty minute broad-gauge service can be in- augurated. Many gravel trains are constantly going up and down the pier, and this morning one should have switched off the Berkeley track, but was little late. The Berkeley local received a signal to stop, and obeyed it, but the tracks were so slippery with salt water that the train slid along the rails with all the wheels locked. Both engines were badly smashed,

i, Every now and then q protest goes up
against dehornin9 'cAttT9s the motive
put forward is that Of humanity, says
the Wisconsin, Farmer In,Ahe case Of
breeding bulls, we. are impressed with
':he belief that dehorning should not be
done, although it is mot motives Of hu-
manity that creates this belief. Mere
~ as a belief, without 'pfetEHse thatit
is an aseertained fact, we think that
breeding qualities are likely. to be i'm
paired by, the sacrifice of the horns in
the case of horned breeds. Neither
would we. dehorn pure-bred cattle
grown as breeding stock, but when
horns are one Of the characteristics Of
the breed, we would leave them there:
When it comes to the question of ami
mails that are to go to the feed lot they
should be dehorned every time. a herd
crowded together, as in the feed lot, will
commit more cruelties and suffer more
cruelty, Il dozen times over, by reason OF
having horns thah-any that may be-
caused by the few moments of pain
which result from the operation o. de.
horning. Indeed, from our observation
Of the operation and of the behavior OF
animals while undergoing it, we are Of
the opinion that the pain attending i,
is very much exaggerated in the popm
lar mind. No evil Consequences fol.,
it, and even the milk function in cow.
which is so easily disturbed, suffers M
disturbance worth mentioning whrr
cows in full milk arc operated upon.
Those who make these occasional pro.
tests pay no attention to the Fact tia:
castration, spaying and the docking u
lambs are operations at least as painful
and for centuries more common thai
dehorning: Perhaps this is just 1t,
point-that they are common. All cat
tie should be dehorned before goinr
into the feed lot. 1t makes them qt:i,.ttr
and more thrifty, the stronger tyr::m
nize less over the weak, and M the "a!
tie have more room in the same space
when the horns have been removed. H.
order to avoid the SUPPOSED pain u,'rI.d

The smoke made by Pittsburgh coal
will probably soon be prevented by a
Pittsburgh expert. Arrangements
have been made by mechanical ex-
pert for the installation Of a smoke
preventer plant in an electric station
at one Of the city institutions in Gin
cinnati, and exhaustive tests will soon
be conducted under his direction. The
scheme is simple, cheap and effective
The amount of oxygen lacking in coal
to make perfect combustion is sup
piled by chemical, which is automat-
ically sprayed with water by fan
over the glowing Goals Of the fire.
The water assists in the more perfect
combustion Of the coal and the gas
given off is more highly volatile than
the carbonaceous or smoke gas, and
the particles Of carbon in going
through it are consumed. 1t is claimed
that the amount of heat which is pre-
vented from going up the chimney as
smoke, and which is practically saved,
win almost equal the slight cost Of the
chemical. This chemical is kept in
small tank and the only addition
necessary to the plant is a small blow
