DETAILED BY
 A BROKEN AXLE EnQineer Ed s. Lincoln Has a Narrow Escape From
 Death. Caught Between His Engine and Ten der With Freight Cars
 All About.
Oakland Office San Francisco Call

5oo BrOadWay, Feb. 4.
 A bad wreck occurred this afternoon about half past clock near Hercules Contra Costa County, by the breaking of an axle on the tender of a freight train and Engineer Ed s. Lincoln of I403 Ninth street, Oakland, Is laid up in Fabiola Hospital with his right ankle badly frac- tured, besides other bruises too numerous to mention. That he was not instantly killed is a wonder. to all who know the full details of the accident. That no one else was hurt Is almost miracle, as the fire man and head brakeman are always point another brakeman is there to help load freight or do the switching
 Train 22, the local freight, was within a dozen miles of the end of it's run when the accident happened. The usual time was. being made when the axle of the tender dropped off without warning throwing the end of the tender down. The cars following piled up on 1t in an in- Stant in a great mass.
 In his effort to stop the train Engineer Lincoln nearly lost his life. AS he shut off the steam the derailed cars jerked his engine, throwing him from his seat He was caught between the engine and ten der and was unable to move.
 The train was soon stopped and the and the company surgeon and wrecking crew went to the scene of the accident. The tracks are numerous there, and all trains were switched by with but little ueidy. 1InCOlH was pldCeQ aDOarQ the first one and brought to this city to the Fabiola Hospital, where he was cared for.
 Inquiry at the hospital tonight showed that Lincoln would be laid up some time, as his injuries are very severe. The bones are badly shattered, besides his muscles are strained in all parts of his body. He is able to talk and says his fireman stayed at his post. The bump ing of the train from behind as he shut off the steam is what unseated him and caused him to get caught as he did.
 The fireman was thrown into his coal bin, but not hurt. The cars went all over everywhere, but the engine remained on the roadbed. The cars had piled them selves upon the engine and one another in such a manner as to make it almost impossible to remove them. The wrecker worked the greater part of the night in clearing away the debris To-night,s . through trains were but little delayed by the accident

THEIR LITTLE
 HOME VACANT Owners of Property at Pleasanton Have Dis
 appeared.
Mrs. Phillips Left Without Any Provision for Her
 Estate.
The Little Girl Who Stayed With Her Has Also Dropped From
 Sight.
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,

Soo oiOdoWdy, CD. {.
 The people of Pleasanton are anxious to know what has become of Mrs. Phillips and little child, who lived for a long while at the corner of Second and Neil streets in that town. Their little cottage has been deserted, and no one is able to find the late tenant.
 About twenty years ago Mrs. Phil lips and her husband came to this coun- try and acquired a little cottage, where they lived for many years. He was an engineer, an expert at his profession and seldom out of employment. He be- came a slave to liquor, commenced to abuse his wife, and in consequence they separated. This happened about ten years ago. He went away, and Mrs Phillips remained in possession of the cottage. The woman was very reticent, and no one was able to learn anything about her antecedents or her business. She had no confidantes and no associ- ates, and although she occasionally did housework for her neighbors, they were never able to learn anything of her life's history. She rarely left her little cottage, and was never known to have visitor, and, although she lived in
 
 were few. A short time since some one appeared who wished to purchase the little cottage and lot, and the neighbors were surprised to find that the inmates could not be found. There was no trace of Mrs. Phillips or the child, and when the townsfolk compared notes no one could be found who had seen Mrs. Phillips for the past two months. As soon as 1t became known that there was a chance to sell the property real estate dealers started out to find the owners, but have so far been unsuc- cessful.
 On one occasion Mrs. Phillips told a friend that the little child did not be- long to their family, but was the daugh- ter of a dear friend and that is all she would say. No one is able to throw any light on her whereabouts or plans, and the house Is locked up, the blinds are down, and, while there is no reason to suspect tragedy if the house were explored, still there are many who re- gard the little cottage as a place from which to keep away after dark.

FOUL PLAY
 IS SUSPECTED Death of an Italian Woman Under Peculiar Cir
 cumStanceS. She Struggled in COnvulsions for Nearly Forty Eight
 Hours.

BERKELEY, Feb. 4-Deputy Coroner Streightif is Investigating the case of Mrs. Steiva, an Italian woman, who died here last Monday under very pecu- liar circumstances.
 Last Friday evening she called on one of the neighbors and complained that her husband was trying to kill her. After talking few minutes she fell into what was apparently an epileptic fit, and ef- forts to revive her proved unavailing. Her husband soon arrived on the scene and took her home with him, but re- fused to send for a doctor until Sunday morning, when the neighbors threatened that if he did not call in physician they would do so themselves. He then sullen- ly compiled and called in Dr. Hoagland, who diagnosed the case as epilepsy, but as the woman had already been in that state twenty-four hours he could not speak positively, and Dr. Woolsey was also called in.
 The two physicians did all in their power to rally the sufferer, but their ef- forts were futile, and she died early Monday morning. pr. Hoagland gave certificate to the effect that his patient had died from epilepsy, and her hus- band immediately made arrangements with an Italian undertaken in San Fran cisco for the disposal of the body This aroused the suspicious of the nefghDors, and they at once began an Investigation of the case
 ? It was discovered that Steiva was in the habit of abusing his wife, and this coupled with the fact that he had hesi- tated in calling in physician and had the body taken to San Francisco led them to suspect foul play. The case was then laid before Deputy Coroner Streightif, and he will make the fullest Investigation possible under the circum- stances
