FATAL ACCIDENT.
A Woman Crushed Beneath the
Wheels Of a Car at Stockton.

STOCKTON, May 27.-The near ap-
proach to a collision between an electric
car and train No. 1924 of the South
ern Pacific at the intersection of Main
and Sacramento streets was the cause
of the death of Mrs. Will Reynolds at
little before 10 o'clock this evening.
The train was an extra for the East
in charge of Conductor J. J. Becker,
and was switching in the yards on Sac
famento street, and was moving south
toward the Main street crossing.
Mr.. and Mrs. Reynolds We're on car
l6, going east. They had been down
town doing some shopping, and only a
few moments before left friends at one
of the uptown stores.
The street car was in charge of Con-
ductor Morrill, and Motorman Norris.
AS the two cars approached each
other it was seen that collision was
almost Inevitable. Norris turned the
current on for speed, and took his car
across the track with only about twenty
inches or two feet to spare.
Mr.. and Mrs. Reynolds, who were
seated on the south side of the west end
of the car, noted the near approach of
the box car, and believing that a coll
lision was certain, thought to save
themselves by jumping The street car
was moving about as fast as Norris
could make it, and as the two jumped
Mrs. Reynolds slipped and fell. Before
her husband could get her out of the
way she was caught beneath the wheels
