Edible Oils

In Egypt and the Soudan, in India and
all through the east an enormous trade
is carried on in vegetable oils, which
take the place of our butter and margar-
Inc products. One of the principal edible
oils is obtained from the ground nut,
known in France as "arachide Oil" Over
100000 hundred weight of these nuts are
annually imported into that country for
its production. Belgium also takes vast
quantities Arachide Oil Is an excellent
soap maker, besides being an edible oil,
and when cotton oil is high in price will
compete we'll with it in this branch of
industry. In Europe alone there Is al
ready very large consumption of 1t,
to be counted in tens of thousands Of
tons.

Two Of the passengers on the wrecked
train, w. F. Barnes and B. Fl. Vincent
accompanied by two of the railroad men
| arrived in the city at $40 last evening
having driven from the scene to Saugus
distance Of eighteen miles, in time to
catch the southbound Santa Barbara
train. Their story of the wreck is sub
stantially like that given in the tele-
graphic dispatches.
The engine jumped the track on a
curve the forward trucks going first and
the drivers spreading the rails. The
locomotive ran along the ties for about
fifty feet and then plunged down the
forty-foot embankment dragging the
cars after It, Fireman Heller was on
the running board of the engine wiping
the bell when it left the track. He
jumped and was painfully injured, sus-
tanning scalp wound. abrasions on the
face and strained back.
Engineer Ferguson stuck to his post
and went down with his machine. AS
quickly as the forward trucks left the
track he applied the emergency air
brakes and by the promptness Of his
action undoubtedly saved the lives OF
the passengers. AS the engine and ten.
der reached the bottom of the embank-
rnent it turned completely over, and in
so doing Engineer Ferguson was thrown
violently from the cab and fell fifty
feet from the track safe and unhurt
save from bruises and a good shaking
up.
The engine was completely wrecked
the cab being smashed to splinters. The
mail car was pulled clear from the track
ut right angles and head on down the
embankment The two baggage cars
followed and the forward trucks of the
first of the coaches were off the track
but did not leave the ties. But few OF
the passengers in the Pullmans appre-
ciated at first that an accident had taken
place. Owing to the prompt action OF
the engineer in applying the brakes, all
that was felt in the rear cars was a
slight jolting.
The accident occurred about two and
half miles south Of Ravena In the
Soledad canyon, and Is the most disas-
trous experienced by the company on
that portion of its line for years. The
monetary damage will run up to between
SIS, 900 and $4,000. In recognition OF
the vaborous deed of Engineer Ferguson
in staying at his post the passengers
collected a purse Of $45 and presented it,
together with the following statement.
We, the undersigned, passengers of the
Southern Pacific train No. II, which was
wrecked between Ravena and Lang at
II a. M, February LIST, 1898, do hereby ex-
press our appreciation Of the heroism Of
Engineer Ferguson and Fireman Heller
In unfiinchingly staying at their posts of
duty when the accident happened, The
presence of mind displayed by the engi-
neer in throwing on the emergency brake
instead Of deserting the engine, undoubt-
edly saved many lives and untold suffering.
We sympathize with them in their inju-
ries, and extend these few words, as we'll
as the accompanying token, in apprecia-
tion Of their valor. Such aatinns daaAxva
