Another Railroad Accident

Los BANos, Calif., August 8-The
south bound Los Angeles express left
Che track last night just south of Dos
Palos. throwing the engine and nine
cars into ditch. Engineer Con Ford
and Fireman Wood were scalded to
death. Mrs. S. Niswonger of Fresno
Calf, and II. Moser of San Diego were

mansion court documents from Madi-

the three Di Fatta brothers were nat

Romano was not so sure about his evil
dence. The report of the special envoy

Rumor Unfounded.

! A rumor was in circulation on the
streets yesterday to the effect that Jas.
Abercrombie of Anton Chico had been
shot and killed by man whose name
was not learned.
As 1t Is only six hours ride on
horseback from Anton Chico to this
city, 1t is reasonable to suppose that
If he he'd been killed or wounded some
one would have arrived here ere this
with the particulars.
1t Is believed, however, that the ru-
NOR has no foundation, having been
started By irresponsible persons in this
city. In fact, it was learned late today
that persons iuat arrived from Anton
Chico state that Mr. Abercrombie was
alive and well last evening.

ToWn-Trouble With Wash
lneton Troops, :

MANILA, August 8.-The gunboai
Napidan last week shelled Paete on the
lake near Santa Cruz. The town was
full of people, encouraged to return
after General Lawton's expedition, hav-
ing been assured that they would not
be molested if they would peaceably at.
tend to their business. Lieutenant
Copp, in command of the Napidan
heard that the insurgents re-occupied
the town and the steamer, close in
opened fire with six Founders without
warning. The people fled to the hills
terrified One child was killed and
many buildings damaged. The authorl-
ties express regret on account of the in
cident.
After the taking of Calamba by the
Americans, General Lawton ordered
Captain Otis of the Washington regi-
ment to be relieved of his command and
placed under arrest ON account of his
slowness and the seeming reluctance of
the companies under his command in
obeying the order to disembark from
their eascoes and wade through the
marshes under fire. The men say q
majority were sick and unfit for duty
and were given to understand that they
would not be asked to do any more
lighting.

AMERICANS ARE TOO HUMANE.
LONDON, August San EngIlshman
named Ellis, serving in an American
regiment now in the Philippines, has
written letter to brother in Cardiff,
which is published in local paper.
The writer insinuates that the Amer.

conducted. He says:

PORT AU PRINCE, Hayti, August g.
The Revolutionary Dominican troops,
which had assembled at Aunaminthe,
crossed the frontier and have taken
possession of DajaboD. The garrison
at that place retired to Fort Belar. a
strategic position commanding the
town. The foreign population and the
Haytien consul left the place. 1t is
considered probable that Jiminez, lead
or of the revolution, will attempt I'd
make a landing on the island shortly in
order to join the revolutionary troops
at Dajabon and take direction of the
movement. The Haytien government
is taking measures to prevent Jiminez
from landing.

which comes under the head of Cam
pus," the intellectual side, which is de-
scribed in the department called Glass
rooms" and the athletic side, which
comes under it's own head in the third
division of the book The attempt is
made to give a fairly thorough review
Of these three departments of Yale.
In the first two divisions-the Cam
pus and the Classrooms-th descrip-
tive sketches are largely limited to the
present time The historical side is
confined to chronological tables, which
are designed to give the main facts in
the histories of different students in
stitutions, like societies, publications,
organizations Of all kinds, customs, de-
batting contests and the like, and also
Of the different departments of the uni
versity, the college, scientific school,
professional schools and graduate de-
partments These historical reference
tables, as they may be called, go into
a number of departments that are not
generally covered by such forms of his
tory.
In the portion devoted to athletics
Mr.. Camp, after a general sketch of the
policy Of Yale in the management Of
her athletics, gives history of each
department beginning with rowing. But
the main part of the book Is a descrip
ton Of Yale as it is to-day. The So
cial side is covered by brief sketch Of
a mans course through college, taking
up those things which most impress
one as he goes through his course. 1t
is meant to be. in a way, an autobio-
graphical sketch.
After this the different institutions Of
the place are taken up and described by
sketches sometimes of single incidents
in connection with them. In all these
sketches the aim has been to describe
the condition Of things at Yale to-day
and to give such facts as one would
like who wished to know about the diff
fe~ent Yale systems of education and
how they are applied. THE Campus
was written entirely by Mr.. Welch
with the exception Of the article on de-
bate, which, as announced in one Of
the Introductory chapters was prepar-
ed by Walter H. Clark '96. In the prep
aration of the second part of the book
which was also a purt of Mr.. Welcfs
work, he was assisted by a number of
different men, Prof Schwab wrote the
chapter on yale college," Prof. Corwin
wrote 1.-The Scientific School," Prof
Weir described the art School," while
recent graduates in the theological and
medical schools prepared the material
for those sketches. The third section Of
the book, on athletics, was prepared en-
tirely by Mr.. Camp.
