San Francisco, May 22.-By the deraihng
of an Oakland narrow-gauge tram AZ
o.l5 this afternoon Fireman Jack Hickey
was instantly killed and Engineer Eo-
ward i. Baldwin SO seriously injured that
he died within three hours. The accident
occurred on the long mole which connects
with a trestle leading to the pier where
messengers are transferred to the FERRY
boats for San Francisco.
The train was moving at a gooo rate OF
speed when, according to the account OK
Train Dispatcher Walker, the brake snoe
~ the engine became detached and fell
dou,n before the wheels of the tender,
which was instantly thrown from the
track The engine and tender both fell on
their sides. and the smoking car was also
derailed and piled among the debris. fire.
man Hickey was buried under the engine
and met a readful death, being almost
burned 10 a crisp by the escaping steam.
II was three hours before. his body was
recovered. Engineer Baldwin was badiy
sealded. but lived until he had been re-
moved to the receiving hospital. where
he expired In great agony.
MANY of the passengers In the smoker
were more or less injured by being
thrown against the seats or by bits OF
broke glass. but none were seriously In
jured. -
A sad feature of the death OF Fireman
Hickey is the fact that he was making
his last run for the day and that his wife
| and two children were awaiting him WITH
q buggy in Oakland to take a drive into
the suburbs when they were informed oil
his fate.

Observation-Disclosures
War Revenue Bill Will Be q Law
Before Saturday.
STILL MUCH TO BE DONE
The seosions Passed Over Are Those on
Which q Fight Will Be Made-The
Hawaiian Resolution WI
Come Up in the House.

Washington, May 22.-The present week
will be given almost entirely to the con-
tinuation of the debate on the war
revenue bill and many Of the best in
formed senators express the opinion that
the consideration of the bill will be con-
cluded before the end of the week. Sena-
tor Aldrich said to-day that the bill
will be law before next Saturday. Very
few other senator's take so hopeful a
view and most republicans confess that
they will be ~abundantiy satisfied is the
senate concluded its work on the meas
ure by next Saturday.
While the consideration Of the bill,
except as to objected features, has been
completed, there is still much to be
done before the bill can be said to be
completed. The items which have been
passed over are those which 1t was ex-
pected from the beginning would con-
sumo the greatest amount of time. Inese
include the corporation tax provision,
the inheritance tax, the seigniorage ana
greenback amendments and also otners
of more or less importance. Involved in
the discussion of the ~greenback ana
seignioraSe amendments will be the re-
publican proposition to restore the bond
DloN oAlt ~
that this question will give rise to a dis
cussion that will cover considerable
time, probably two or three days at
least. There is, however, no apparent
desire on the part of opponents of bonds
60 onsume more time than Is necessary
to the proper presentation OF their
views. If Senator Plat of New YORK
insists upon pressing his amendment for
the r%efunding of the outstanding green
backs 1t will result in an extension OF
the discussion of the bill to an almost
unlimited extent. This would open up
the entire financial question and prob
ably would cause the silver m TO
wen resort to flibustering to prevent
it's passage. Upon the whole, the chances
are equal that the bill VIII De oisposeo
of during the week.
There is more or less talk in the SEN
ate about the final adjournment of con-
gress, but opinions differ materially as
TO the time it will occur. Senator HAZE
expressed the opinion to-day that IL
might be reached within three weeks,
while Senator Teller puts 1t at SIX
weeks. With the war revenue bill out
of the way, the appropriation made Tor
the conduct of the war, there will be
very little incentive to remain in session
unless it should by that time become
apparent that the war is drawing to a
close. In that event some senators ex-
press the desire that congress shoulo
be in session in order that the senate
might have an opportunity to pass upor
any treaty of peace that might be ne
gotiated. 1t does not now appear PROB
able, however, hat congress would re
main here any great length of tims
merely for that purpose. The week VII
begin with the discussion Monday o.
the corporation tax provided IN tn'
democratic amendment.

Gen. Wallace said he had never told
this story before except privately to

Brass Collars on Drunkards' Necks.

A colonial gentleman, who now sits
on the Wandsworth and Clapham
Board of Guardians, amused his col
leagues at their weekly meeting by
stating, during discussion upon the
best manner Of dealing with local inc
briates, that they had an excellent
way Of checking excessive drinking in
Manitoba. When a man had been
twice or thrice convicted of drunken
ness in the police courts he was SEN
fenced to wear brass collar, which
marked him out among his fellows as
a person to whom no publican could
with impunity serve liquor. The
drastic measure often proved cure.
On the authorities being satisfied that
the branded individual had served q
sufficiently long term of probation he
was uncollared and endowed with the
liberty of drinks.-London Telegraph.
