BICYCLE MEET POSTPONED.
1t Has Now Been Fixed for April
2d-The Eastern Riders

The rainfall yesterday as matter
of course prevented pulling off the big
champion and amateur bicycle meeting
Nevertheless a large number of people
went out to the track, and the c. G. W.
telephone as we'll as the telephone bells
of the Record Union" were kept con-
stantly ringing all the forenoon for
news as to whether the races would
come off
Some of the champions went out to
the track in the early morning, and
tried it, and the declaration was unani-
NOUS that time could be made over it
in less than lbs They were pleased
with it, and We're disappointed at the
necessity for postponement; not near
ly so much so, however, as the c. C. w.
membership, which had labored so hard
for the event.
In the afternoon meeting of the
Race Committee the riders and Messrs.
Thompson, Rucker and Dixon, the
champion managers, was held, and It
was resolved to have the meeting come
off two weeks later, April I'd. There
upon all the riders present, dozen or
more, signed an agreement to ride on
that date Many of them will remain
here and train, they finding the facili-
ties excellent for that purpose. Posi-
bly, two of them Will start East before
the new date. but that is not a Ger
tainty. If they do their places will be
filled by equally as good riders, as by
no means all the Eastern riders now
in the State had entered for the Sac
ramento meeting.
1t Is probably all the better that the
meeting is postponed, for the track
will be much harder two weeks hence,
and closer riding to the pole will be
assured which means faster time and
better riding The program for the
new date will be the same as fixed for
yesterday, which was pronounced one
of the most novel and interesting ever
gotten up. But there may be some
additions to it with the introduction OF
a triplet racing machine, and more
tandems than had been engaged for
yesterday.
The Eastern riders who remain IN
the city will have their headquarters
at the C. c. w clubrooms on Ninth
street, and as they are among the best
posted wheelmen in the world they
will be pleased to give any one IN
formation in that branch of athletics
who may wish to advise with them.
They prove to be stalwart lot of men,
courteous, obliging, and the best hui
mored group imaginable. Many point
will be picked up from them by Sacra-
rnento amateurs in the coming two
weeks

Gray Meet Death in Clip
per Gap Disaster.

"A special westbound freight train was
wrecked near Clipper Gap Station d.
an early hour yesterday morning. Eli
gineer Fred M. Witham and Fireman
Edward Gray were killed, assistant
Fireman P. De Souza and Brakeman ".
l.. Beeler were slightly hurt, and many
cars and the head locomotive were
wrecked. The latter plunged down
75-foot embankment, but the second
one did not leave the roadbed.
Assistant Superintendent Jones mas
tered to the scene on a wrecking tram
and made every effort to save the hfe-
man, who was brought to the Sacra-
mento Railroad Hospital on. special
train, but he died from the scaldlng
at 1890 a. m. yesterday. The story OF
the wreck is best told by Mr.. Jones,
who said
.'The engine struck a horse at point
a quarter of mile beyond Clipper Gap,
but I doubt whether the engineer ever
knew it. The horse had broken from
a shed to which it had been tied by an
Indian. It dragged plank after 1t,
which was tied to the halter, and when
it attempted to cross the track the ami
NAL was held fast there by the plank,
as to hold its head close to the track.
..The engine cut off the horses head
and foot throwing the head fully forty
feet / think horseshoe caused the
trouble. Anyhow, the two front guide
wheels of the large twelve wheel loco
motive were thrown off the track the
other pair remaining all right, but when
the train came to the Clipper Gap
switch the front guide wheels did not
motive was ditched and thrown down
75-foot embankment.
Jntil that moment the engine had
doubtless run as smoothly as ever, so
the engineer had no Idea that anything
was wrong. The other guide wheels
and the drivers of course held it steady.
Engineer Witham was instantly
Killed, and Fireman Gray was SO badly
scalded that he died at 1870 at the
Railroad Hospital Brakeman Beeler
and J. DeSouza, who was learning the
firing trade, were badly confused, but
not fatally in either case. The wreckage
makes a large pile of debris, and when
I left there was a big crowd at the
scene. The second locomotive was
thrown off the track, but it did not
leave the roadbed nor go down the
bank"
Engineer Witham and Fireman Gray
lived at Rocklin, and the former leaves
widow and two children, but Gray
was not married. He was reared at
Dutch Flat.

Any one who is at all intimate
with Mr. Dillingham; knows that in

he felt cocksure of winning out in

Honolulu subscriptions for the Wal.
alna shares.

A proposition was made for the
minority shareholders to contribute
a dollar share from their holdings,
employ counsel and carry the matter
into the Courts. This the minority
40 far have declined to do. One ex-
cuse given being that when they

assurance that the counsellars have
been retained by representatives of
the majority shareholders.

The INDEPENDENT is advised that
the minority shareholders can secure
their rights by litigation, and it is
hardly possible that all the members

terious tie.

Our only answer is, that we made,
the fight in defense OF the said
shareholders upon the supposition
that they would take the necessary
steps to carry the matter into the
Courts, where it is very evident Mr..
Dillingham; is afraid to go.

Colonel Soper and his friends did
not care where the shares came from

the consequence was that Mr.. Dill
