An Engineers Marrow Escape From
Flying Machinery.

OAKLAND. Oct. 3.-Much damage was
done to the electric plant of the Pied
mont power house this morning by a belt
slipping from pulley wheel.
When the belt released the resistance
from the wheel 1t whipped around at the
rate of 275 revolutions minute and
smashed everything within its reach. The
wheel flew into pieces, one of which was
found 200 feet away. F. w. Nelson, the
chief engineer, cannot understand why
he was not killed, for he stood IN the cor
ner of the dynamo room while broken
machinery and blocks of cement were be-
ing hurled in all directions He. however,
met with no more injury than being COW
cred with dust.
The pit in the concrete floor in which
the pulley revolved, was filled with
broken concrete and wood, and the roof
overhead was torn for its whole length.
None of the generators suffered and the
damage to the machinery is estimated at
about $1,000. Traffic was suspended until
noon but by utilizing the power from
other power-houses, traffic was resumed
