A DEPLORABLE ACCIDENT.
CONDUCTOR f. J. DAVIS KILLED
AT WOODLAND.
Literally Cut to Pieces by the Cars
Of His Own Train, Which
Were Being Switched.

Shortly before 6 O'Clock last evening
one Of those awful and deplorable ac-
cidents which sometimes occur hap
pened at Woodland, resulting in the
instantaneous death of Conductor F. J.
Davis. who had been in the employ of
the Southern Pacific Company since
1882
Conductor Davis was in charge of the
accommodation freight that runs be-
tween Red Bluff and Sacramento, and
which is due here about 1 o'clock p. m.
When the train reached Woodland
last evening there was some switching
to do and Conductor Davis was super
intending it in person. 1t was neces-
sary TO shunt a number of cars onto a
sidetrack, and Davis, standing on the
track on which it was desired to switch
them, himself gave the engineer the
signal to kick them back
Immediately after giving the signal,
Davis turned directly around and start
ed to walk down the sidetrack in the
same direction the cars were going.
Brakeman Russell was Oh top of the
cars and saw Davis walking ahead of
them but expected to see him step
from the track as the cars drew near.
AS Davis made no attempt to step
from the track. Russell realized that he
had forgotten he was on the track down
which the cars We're coming and called
to him to look out.
The warning came too late. The fore
most car struck Davis, knocking him
to the track and across the rails, and
the wheels of the five cars passed over
him, literally cutting him to pieces, and
scattering the remains some distance
along the track.
The action of Davis in turning around
and walking deliberately down the
track until the loosened cars struck
him, is believed by the trains crew to
have been occasioned by absent mind
ednesS, or forgetfulness. He had been
in the employ of the railroad company
for over fifteen years, and had the rep
uation of being one of the most careful
men on the road and it is believed that
for the moment his mind was drawn
away from the work in hand, and that
that momentary lapse proved fatal.
Davis had resided in Sacramento for
many years and had hosts of friends
here. He was married but had no
children. and his wife, who lives on ]
street, between Third and Fourth, was
Frustrated with grief when news of her
husbands death reached her.
The mother of the deceased survives
him and lives near Penryn, in Placer
County. He leaves two sisters, one of
whom is in the employ of one of the
newspapers of this city
The Yolo County Coroner will hold
an inquest on the remains this morn
i'm pd hav oh ri
morrow afternoon.
Davis was a native of Dubuque, Ia,
and was SO years, 10 months and days
old.
The train arrived in this city at 1:3O
o'clock last evening, and the crew We're
unit in saying that Davis only was
in fault and that the engineer had cut
off the cars in response to his signal

BICYCLE ORDINANCE.
Proposed Amendments to It to be
Suggested.

Considerable comment has been made
concerning the pending ordinance be-
fore the City Trustees of Sacramento
regulating the speed of bicycles in this
city. There appears TO be a wide dif-
ference of opinion on the speed and
the bell questions. The ordinance pro-
vides for continuously ringing bell
at all times. Wheelmen say that will
be hardship. but that bell to be
rung continually twenty feet before
reaching a crossing and while passing
over it either day or night will be right.
Also they object to the proposition that
crossings shall be made at not to ex-
coed FIVE miles an hour. They say six
is the San Francisco limit and the
streets there are more crowded than
those of Sacramento. They add that
there is no limit in San Francisco as
to speed between intersections, and
there should be none here, as the slow
ing down to make the crossings at six
miles regulates that
1t is to be said that the ordinance as
it is, came from a wheelmens commit
tee, which acted after long study of the
matter and the Street Committee of the
Trustees after much deliberation ap-
proved their recommendations with
some amendments of its own. 1t Is
probable. however, that there will be
some changes asked of the committee
For instance, that the continuously
ringing bell be changed to "continu-
ally; that the obligation to ring be APP
piled only to a distance twenty feet
from a crossing on approach and while
going over an intersection and when
ever meeting a pedestrian, and that in
stead of five miles an hour over cross
ings the figure shall be six, as il IS
in San Francisco 1t is true that there
is no limitation in San Francisco upon
speed between crossings, but it is prob
able that the eight mile limit on bust
ness streets win be retained That *,
the Trustees committee will be asked
to retain il, as bicycles are ridden FAR
more on business streets here than IN
San Francisco. simply because business
streets are so rough there that IT, is
very difficult to send a bicycle wheel
over them, while our streets are invi.-
ing.

THE CITY SUED.
Daniel Meyer Asks for Judgment
on His Bonds Of 1859.

Daniel Meyer has commenced suit in
San Francisco against the City Of sac
ramenio for SS4.200. with interest from
February l, 1898, at per cent, and
costs.
The suit is TO recover the value of los
bonds of 1859, payable on February J.,
1898. 20 OF them being for 81 ,0e). n
for $500 each. i for $500 each and )
for 5000 each.
The rapers in the suit came up yes
terday morning and the summons was
served on Mayor Land for the city.
When seen yesterday by a Record
Union" reporter he said he did not
know what the move meant unless ii
was that the bondholders were getting
frightened. anticipating an adverse de-
cision of the Supreme Court, which is
expected about the 18th inst in the
case now before it. He thought it was
intended TO tie up the amount of money
sued for which would be unfortunate
If the present suit for interest is decid-
ed in favor of the city. it will save to it
about $1S7 900. said Mr. Land, and the
amount of bonds remaining due could
easily and speedily be wiped out.

FICTION rs. FACTS IN WAR

The unavoidable absence of Rich
ard Harding Davis and Stephen
Crane from the battle of Waterloo
will always be deplorable by stu
dents of that memorable ard deci-
sive conflict in the worlds history.
In the light OF recent events, we can
only regret that the magnificent en-
gagement was not postponed until
our great war correspondent could
have handled the disposition of the
troops and the commissary arrange
ments of the contending armies in
the columns of the yellow newspapers
and up to-date magazines.
That far-away look in the eyes of
the great Napoleon and that air of
abstraction In the demeanor of the
great Wellington just before the
battle opened, which were noticed
by their staff officers and which his
torfaEs have vainly endeavored to
explain, may be easily accounted for
now. Napoleon was not worrying
about his absent general, rs may be
supposed, but wondering if Rich
ard would come up, and Wellington,
instead of fretting over the weight of
the army's artillery, was depressed
over the absence of Stephen. But
the armies were restless, the die was
cast, and the conflict could not, at
the last moment, be postponed with
out causing a general disturbance of
the European money market and
creating great uneasiness in London
and Paris.
Charles O'Malley and his faithful
attendant, Mickey Free, have done
much to repair the loss inflicted
upon humanity by the unavoidable
absence of the great war correspond.
ents Of our times, They have ac-
complished much in the way of strip |
ping the engagement of those i'm
pertinent and annoying facts which
are ever in the way of the writer
and lover of pure fiction, and Victor
Hugo, with that disregard for obsta.
cles which marks the true genius,
supplemented the work of his prede-
cessors by furnishing a deep ravine
for the battlefield, which nature had
thoughtlesily neglected to provide,
in order that the defeat of the French
might harmonize with the general
design of his romances But these,
though the efforts of masters in their
day, were but weak conceptions
when compared with the effects
Richard or Stephen might have pro-
duced upon coming ages had they
been anywhere in the vicinity of
Brussels after the ball.
The official reports of the. final
triumph of the allies over Napoleon
and the histories based upon them |
are dry and uninteresting In com
parlson with the vivid description of
a skirmish in a banana patch before
Santiago furnished by Richard and
Stephen.
Former writers, even though ID
spired with such zeal and courage in
the discharge of their duties as to
seek news at the cannon's mouth,
and though sharing the perils and
hardships of the common soldier,
were not gifted with that wondrous
talent for describing things that
never occurred except in their own
minds which made the names of
Davis and Crane household words
throughout the length and breadth
OF this land.-Inter Ocean.
