THROWN OUT OF A
SCENIC RAILWAY CAR
FOUR PERSONS INJURED AT
THE CHUTES.
Occupants Land on the Roof of the
Zoo and Are Conveyed to the
Park Hospital.

An accident occurred on the scenic rail-
way at the Chutes last night that caused
injuries to four persons and created in
tense excitement among the throng OF
visitors. Rumors were quickly af1oat
that very serious results had followed the
collision of running car with another
that was standing on the track. But the
rumor was soon dissipated by the fact
that the four persons occupying the
standing car were thrown onto the roof
of the low building used as the Zoo.
Mr. and Mrs. ]. S.. OReilly of Vallejo
and Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Wessling of 1515
Geary street were the injured persons,
the most serious hurt being the sprained
arm sustained by Mrs. Wessling. The
others were bruised about the legs and
generally shaken up, without lasting
hurts.
The car they occupied was INSTRUCTED
by something thrown on the track and
was struck by the one coming down be-
hind it. The force was not strong enough
to demolish the car, but lifted 1t bodily
off the track and dumped me occupants
out Their escape from more serious in
jury is marvel, though in the conduct
Of the railway all precautions are taken
to prevent accidents.

man is now practicing his profession In
this city. -,

In the Federal or Superior Court or the
United States Supreme Court: That Is
certainly a fair proposition. However, II
that we can do to help the Chief along in
this painful complication we might also
extend that favor.
There is a whole lot of quibbling and
hair-splitting about the arsenic In the
candy and that purchased at the Owl
drug store. The latter is known to have
been in the powdered form, while that In
the candy was announced to have been
cry stalls You mark my words, when the
public accusation is made the people will
learn that the drug placed In the bon
bons was in the powdered form. That
will be all right, too 1t can go along
with the other stupid blunderS that have
been made in the case.
1T is a surprising sight to see Lees
using his utmost power to railroad this
woman to Delaware to stand trial for her
life. He ought to get somebody to blush
for him. What is the matter with our
courts? Why, over in that benighted land
they are still living under the blue laws
They don't allow street cars to run on
Sunday and they cling to that brutal relic
of barbarism = the whipping post to
which colored people and tramps are par
ticuiarly sentenced and carefully beaten
with a '-nine-tails. Just think of 1t.
If you and 1 were to be so unfortunate
as TO go there with our San Francisco
customs we would stand good chance Of
getting few welts ourselves that
Wouldn't do us any good. It's too bad
though, that they overlooked Dunning.
That kind of dissipation might have put
a little of the fear of the Lord in him.
I'VE have no misgiving as to the out
come of this affair On the contrary we
propose to have some fun with the Chief,
and before he gets through with the Bot
kin case we will teach him some things
he has been unable to learn in his forty
years of experience"

WHO WILL SUCCEED MORSE ?
Directors of the German Hospital to
Appoint the New Surgeon on
Tuesday.

Much interest centers in medical circles
as to who will be appointed to fill the po-
sition of staff surgeon of the German
Hospital-the place made vacant by the
recent death of DR.. John F. Morse.
During Morse's recent fatal illness and
since the lamented physicians demise DR..
P. de Vecchi. consulting surgeon of the
hospital board, has kindly filled the po-
sition of staff surgeon. Cognizant of DIR.
de Vecchis skill and ability, and with the
interests of the hospital at heart, the
board of directors were anxious that DR..
de Vecchi present himself as candidate
for the position. This honor on account
of the stress of private practice, DR.. de
Vecchi was obliged to decline.
The candidates for the vacant post in
clude DIR. Fehleisen, DIR. Max Solomon,
Dr. Conrad Well, the present Police Sur
geon; Dr. Levison and DR.. Kugeler.
Drs. Fehleisen, We'll and Solomon have
the greatest following, and the contest
between these three gentlemen will prob
ably be a heated one Many friends of
the hospital predict that the position will
be awarded to DR.. Fehleisen.

fund outside the regular Red Cross
fund was started to be contributed to

The idea is to keep the men from
patroniAing the saloons as much as
possible, and ice for the drinking water
is very necessary to make it appeal to
them. 1t is hoped 800 may be raised
for this purpose, the first twenty-f five
dollars raised to be forwarded ut once
to Chaplain Clemans.
It was voted to forward at once to
Mrs. Lichtenberger at Chickamauga

st. Paul have decided to allow her to
do and will care for her expenses.
