PULLMAN CAR UPSET
ACCIDENT TO A SOUTHERN PA
CIFIC TRAIN NEAR YUMA
TWO PASSENGERS INJURED
But Neither Seriously-The Conductor
Severely Cut by Glass-Might
Have Been Worse

The Southern Pacific train which arrived
here at 9:20 o'clock last night brought in
several passengers who were severely in
jured in an accident which happened to the
train near Yuma yesterday morning in
which one sleeper was ditched and so badly
wrecked that it had to be left where it
fell, while the train proceeded to this city.
The accident was a most peculiar one.
There was a weak place in the track over
which all of the train except the last
sleeper passed safely. That car, which was
heavier than the others. caused spreading
of the rails and left the track. At that
point the track is on an embankment, and
the car was jerlxed off the right-of-way and
plunged down the embankment, breaking
the couplings, and as the air brakes were
uncoupled the brakes were automatically
applied and the train stopped. The passen-
gers were badly frightened, but only two
Of them were injured.
In falling over a seat Anton Asmuth, who
was coming to this city with his wife from
Milwaukee, had his leg SO badly wrenched
that he will be confined to his bed for ten
days or more. Miss Augusta Thomas,
from the same city, was also bruised about
the head and body.
The Pullman conductor was more seri-
ously injured than either of the two pas
! sengers. He was in a narrow passageway
near the end of the car, and in falling
broke a plate glass window and was Sc
verely cut by the glass. The two passen-
gers were taken to the Van Nuys hotel as
soon as the train arrived here, where DR..
Barlow dressed their injuries.

WAS NOT BATTERY
Dog Catchers Acquitted Of Assaulting
a Woman


VIII vacher and Ed Tierney, deputy dog
catchers, were tried in Justice Morrison's 8
court yesterday on a charge of battery pre-
ferred by Mrs. Banning. who resides on
Vine street. The catchers were out look
Ing for dogs and saw Mrs. Banning's pet
summing itself on the front porch. They
caught the animal in their nets, when a
son of Mrs. Banning interfered. This
brought the lady herself on the scene and
she took hand in the encounter, during
which one Of the dog catchers pushed her
away. She tripped and fell to the side
walk, but was not injured. The court de-
cided that such action on the part Of the
defendants did. not constitute the offense
of battery and he therefore declared them
not guilty.
There is much doubt as to whether the
dog catchers, who have been considered
special policemen heretofore, have any
more police authority than has any other
citizen. Their appointment was made by
the chief Of police acting under authority
from the council. Some time ago the city
attorney gave the police commissioners an
opinion in which he stated that In order to
be given police powers an officer, whether
regular or a special policeman, must be
elected such by vote Of the commission.
At that time O number of special police
men made new applications and were
elected but 1t is believed that the dog
catchers did not do this. II such Is the
case their stars as special policemen do not
give them any authority whatever to exer-
else the functions Of peace officer The
matter is being quietly investigated by the
commission and decision will be rendered
at the next regular meeting of that body.

brilliant ideas that persons may find them
selevs in possession of that will add to the
beauty of the pageant will be duly appre-
ciated by the committee at headquarters.
A meeting Of the executive committee
was held last evening, and considerable
important business transacted. 1t was re-
ported that work on the floats began yes
terday at Washington gardens. The
caballeros and lancers, who form pic
turesque features of the parade, will begin
to organize this week. A program Of events
was adopted, to be ratified by the commit
tee of thirty. There will be a great de-
mand for confetti. cascarones and paper
streamers, and the committee suggests to
merchants the advisability Of putting in
supplies to meet the demand.
Bids are coming in rapidly for the official
program, stationery and buttons, and they
will be opened Tuesday. March 18th. De-
signs and bids for the official badge will be
received up to the 18th inst.
The publishing of the poster was awarded

Fawcett Robinson was added to the float
committee and A. B. Benton to that on

ATTACKED WITH A DIRK
Patrolman Rico Narrowly Escapes a
Woman's Assault

Patrolman Rico narrowly escaped seri-
GUS injury and possible death at the hands
of drunken woman who gave her name
at the police station after her arrest as
Ella James. last night at Third and Main
streets. She made a desperate effort to
stab the policeman with six-inch double
edged dirk while he was in the act of ar
resting her for drunkenness.
The woman occupies room on the third
floor of the Wells-Fargo building at Third
and Main streets, and last night, while
drunk, she sent for a messenger. John
Neal, a district messenger, responded and
remained in her room for more than an
hour. She piled him with wine and both
became intoxicated. The landlady or
dered him out of the house, but the wo-
man objected. The police were sent for
and Patrolman Rico responded. AS he en-
tered the woman's room he found her
backed up against the door. She turned
upon him and suddenly raised her arm
and as she did so the officer saw dagger
in her hand. He seized her and the knife
dropped to the floor. She was arrested, as
was the messenger boy, and both were
taken to the police station. The knife will
be used as evidence against the woman.

PHILADELPHIA Bribery

PHILADELPHIA, March 10.-During a
meeting of the common council today

water works to a private corporation. and
he further charged that members who
were voting for the bill were getting from
$1,000 to 5000 for their votes. His sensa-
tional disclosures resulted in indefinite
postponenient of the bill. Later commit

the charges, and also directing the COM

AT THE THEATER

BURBANK THEATER.-Forty years
ago a dramatization of T. 8. Arthur's story
entitled "Ten Nights In Bar Room" was
put upon the stage in New York City. II
was a moving temperance tale, an object
lesson, so to speak, in the evils of exces.
sive drinking and while the language OF
the piece Is didactic, the incidents are
realistic to a degree and the pathos Is OF
that homely kind that touches the popular
heart. The play succeeded and 1t has ever
since been a stock piece which could al
ways be depended upon, like Uncle Toms
Cabin" to draw a good audience at inter-
walls In any cheap-priced house. Last
night 1t was put on at. the Burbank and
very well played. 1t will be repeated to-
night.

THE CEREAL CROP
One Fourth Still Remains in Farmers
Hands

WASHINGTON, March 10.-The consol-
idated returns of the different crop report
ing agencies of the department of agricul-
ture, made up to March 1st, show the wheat
reserves in farmers hands on that date to
have been the equivalent of 1928 per cent
OF last years crop, or about 121, 900 900
bushels. This is SO 900 600 bushels in excess
of the farm reserve reported year ago.
but the result of special wheat investiga-
ton made by the department last fall
would indicate that the crop of 1896 was
larger than the department had reason to
believe at the time. The proportion OF
the crop of 1897 shipped beyond county
lines is 507 per cent.
The corn in farmers hands as estimated
aggregates 7S3, ,OO0, 900 bushels, or All per
cent Of last years crop, as against l 1154 200. :
900 bushels, or 81 per cent. on hand on
March 1, 1897, and 1.072. 900 900 bushels, OF
1913 per cent. on March l. 1896.
OF oats there are reported to be about
272 900 900 bushels, or SS.9 per cent. still in
farmers hands, as compared with 31S ,OOO,-
600 bushels, or 44.2 per cent, on March /
1897.

ROCKY PRACTICES
An Alleged Fence Escapes Because a
Witness Was Absent

Owing to the carelessness of the district
attorneys department in disposing of the
one witness by whose evidence they could
hope, to establish case against H. c.
Kaufman, the latter will not be tried on the
felony charge of knowingly; receiving stol-
en- property. for which he was arrested sew
eral days ago, His arrest was made on the
statement of William Rocky the burglar
now in the Folsom penitentiary, who told
the officers where he had disposed of a por-
ton of the goods he had stolen. The goods
were recovered at Kaufman's place and he
was arrested for having purchased them.
as they were of such value as to make 1t
improbable that a man like Rocky could
have come by them honestly. The exam
ing trial of Kaufman was set for yesterday,
but as Rocky had pleaded guilty and had
been taken to the penitentiary his evidence
could not be secured, and the case against
Kaufman had to be dismissed.

o. A. Stein Is Too Poor to Provide for
His Family

o. A. Stein, who was arrested several
days ago on complaint of his wife, who
charged him with failing to provide for her
and their three children, was tried in Just
ice Owens court yesterday and acquitted.
There was not the slightest doubt as to'his
having failed to provide for the support of
his family, for he admitted 1t, but he
claimed that his earnings were so small
that he could not support them. He is a
wheelwright by trade and has been living
near Eighth street and Central avenue.
He proved that for the past three months
he had not earned more than SIS per month
He and his wife had parted by mutual con-
sent some time ago, because he was NOT
able to support her, but when he failed to
send her even portion of his earnings for
their children she caused his arrest. Just
ice Owens decided that 1t had not been
shown that Stein could support his family
and discharged him from custody.
