EXPRESS TRAIN WRECKED.
The Passengers on u Missouri Pacific Have
a Miraculous EsCaue Near Jefferson
City-TwO Men Killed.

Jefferson City, Mo-, Jan. 5-The
MissourPac express train which left
Kansas City at .O:4O o'clock Tuesday
night for st, Louis, was wrecked one
mile west of here at four o'clock yester-
day morning. The wreck occurred on a
piece of track 30 feet above the Missouri
river. On one side was high cliff. on
the other the Missouri river. The
wreck was caused by stone which
had rolled down from the bluff on the
track. As the engine struck the stone,
the engineer Charles Clawson, of Wash.
ington, Mo-, and the fireman, William
Zoll, of Sedalia, jumped on the river
side of the track. The engine rolled
off the track into the river, crushing to
death the two men on the embank-
ment.
All of the cars, with the exception
of the rear sleeper, left the track, run.
ming into the face of the cliff. Had they
left the track on the river side they
would have gone into the water and
many Of the 80 passengers would have
been drowned. None Of the passen.
gers was seriously injured, though
they were bruised by the sudden stop
ping of the train. The train was rum
ming at the rate of 40 miles an hour
when it was wrecked. Traffic was de.
layed several hours.
One explanation for the engine and
cars going in opposite directions is
that the locomotive turned so sud.
denly that the solid heavy footboard
of the cab acted as lever and threw
the tender and cars that followed in
the opposite direction from itself,
The baggage and mail ears were torn

LATEST WINE
DEAL BREAKS
ALL RECORDS
Three Million Gallons
Involved.

During the last three weeks there has
been more activity in the wine business
than for many years and shippers and
cellar men have been working night and
day The deal that started matters go
Ing was the purchase by the principal deal
ers of three million gallons of merchant
able wine from the California Wine
makers Corporation. This sale grew out
Of the fact that the corporation found it
necessary to go out of business owing to
the refusal Of the producers TO sign new
contracts tc sell wine to the corporation
for the next five years.
On top of this deal came the announce
ment of the Southern Pacific Company
that the rate on wines in wood -ould be
advanced from 45 to 70 cents per hundred
pounds to principal Eastern points. In
order to save this difference in freight
the Eastern buyers and the merchants of
this State became decidedly active and
the result was that in the short space Of
three weeks there was shipped from Call
fornia the enormous quantity Of three
million gallons of the juice of the grape,

loads of wine have been sent to the
thirsty Fasteners in that period, and If
all those cars were put in one train they
would cover between seven and eight
miles of track.
fact that this product of the vineyards
brought good prices and put hundreds of
thousands Of dollars Of extra money in
circulation in this State.
The wine that was purchased from the
Wine-makers Corporation went into
strong hands and the consequence Is that
prices are high and steadily advancing.
At the same time the coopers have been
and are enjoying all kinds of prosperity
and wine men are experiencing great diff

WILL ATTEMPT
TO ROUND THE
STORMY CAPE
Effort to Be Made in a
Thirty-Foot Sloop.

A daring attempt to circumnavigate the
globe in a 30-foot sloop is to be made by
Captain c. Baettge of this port. Several
men in small craft have successfully
made the voyage. but Baettge is forced
by the terms Of his agreement to go
around the Horn TO New York and thence
TO Europe. He cannot go through the
Straits Of Magellan. but must actually
round the Horn in his 3O-foot boat, taking
his chances with the terrible weather that
prevails off the cape Of storms.
Captain Baettge was born and brought
up on a ship and ne has been affoat in
every kind of craft from a dingey to a
man-of-war. He has been shipwrecked,
lost overheard, marooned on a desert
island, but never suffered serious injury
until he broke his arm and collar-bone
on his sloOp while repairing her on the
Oakland mud flats
The sloOp that Captain Baettge IS going
TO circumnavigate the world in is we'll
known on the Bay of San Francisco as
the Mabel. She is a centerboard boat
drawing three feet six inches of water.
The centerboard is of steel and weighs
3S6 pounds. With it down the boat draws
ten feet of water and the captain saws
that no gale that ever blew could cap
size her. In December of last year Cap
tan Bdettge ana Captain LoWbe~g were
out in the Mabel when il was blowing 100
of II, but the boat weathered tie storm
and came into port after everybody had
given them up for lost. Since then the

AftOrnRV.

To the Editor Of The Call-Sir: From
time to time of late have appeared in the
newspapers references to Hon. w w
Foote and his conduct and mana cement
of our interests in the Garcelon or Merritt
litigation.
It is doubtless unnecessary, but under
the circumstance 1t surely is not improper
for US to say that during that period we
were men Of adult years. not children;
that we were fully advised by Mr. Foote
Of all that was under consideration; that
we understood to the minutest detail the
terms and conditions of the compromise
agreement which avoided the necessity of
litigation; that we knew before the settle
meut the compensation which he was to
receive and which was well earned; and
finally, that now after the lapse of nearly
nine years since the settlement we have,
as we have always had, nothing but a
feeling of the warmest gratitude and
friendship for Mr.. Foote for the ability as
well as for the loyalty and fidelity to our
interests with which he conducted our af-
fairs and concluded the business.
1t should be needless to add that this is
given to the public without any knowledge
Of. or suggestion from, Mr.. Foote.

FREIGHT RATES INCREASED.
Transcontinental Lines Combine
to Tax the Merchants.

The merchants of the Pacific Coast and,
in fact, the merchants of the entire coun-
try doing business with Oriental points
will shortly be treated to a surprise that
will be anything but pleasant in it's char
acter. All the great transcontinentaI lines
have decided to raise their freight rates
on commodities destined for markets
across the Pacific. This raise will aver
age about % per cent and will effect prac-
tically every marketable product of the
country except cotton, which will remain
at the rate to which it has heretofore
been subjected.
The new rates are from Missouri River
points to all points in the Orient and will
be adopted by the following railroad lines
and their steamship connections: Cana
dian Pacific in connection with the boats
of their own line; Great Northern road in
connection with the Nippon Yusen Kali

pany in connection with chartered bot
toms; Santa Fe in connection with the

SOMETHING NEW IN OIL.

The Petroleum Center Oil Company,
with offices third floor. Mills building,
room 20, has made a radical departure
from the methods adopted by most oil
companies. Heretofore it has been the
custom to sell stock to obtain money to
look for oil, but this company first found
their oil by sinking test wells and proving
their lands to be in the true oil belt, thus
removing their shares from the domain of
wildcat speculation. Such companies are
a welcome addition to the oil interests of
the State and help to establish the indus
try on a firm basis. 1t is predicted for
them success, as they have sunk three
test wells and struck oil at depth of 102
feet, striking the same heavy deposit as
found in the famous Elwood well

HOME FOR MEN AND BOYS.
Rev. w. I. Kip Extends Aid to
Worthy Fellow Beings Who
Seek Shelter.

There Is attached to the Good Samari-
tan Church on Second street an institu
ton in which well behaved men can find
a superior home for a less amount of
money than at any of the many lodging
houses in the city. In addition to this
the home has been prepared especially for
the reception of boys who have arrived
at the age of IA and over and who have
been inmates Of orphan asylums. In this
home the boys are taken and provided
with superior board and lodging for
limited proportion of their earnings.
Boys taken into the Armitage Home
from the orphanages are generally pro-
vided with employment in some of the
various branches of industries in this city,
and in order to preserve them from the
many evil influences besetting the path
way Of the young when thr9wn in cor
ceived a moral training the home on Sec
ond street is guarded by all of the moral
influences of well regulated home.
The church of the Good Samaritan, as
conducted by Rev. w. 1. Kip, on the south
of the SLOT has been so productive of
good that the idea occurred TO him to add
to its usefulness by renting the large
three-story building on the corner of Sec
ond and Folsom streets as home for the
overflow of the orphanages of this city
and suburbs. Into this the boys from the
Armitage were removed last July to tho
number of twenty-five and placed under
the supervision of superintendent j. c.
Astrado and his wife, who acts as matron
of the home. The whole institution is
under 4 board Of directors composed of
Rev. w. 1. Kip, Rev. John Emery and
Major W. B. Hooper, with an auxiliary
board of ladies consisting of Mrs A. n.
Drown, Mrs George H. Buckingham, Mrs.
A. NJ. Lawler, Mrs. R. B. Sanchez, Mrs.
George H. Baker, Miss Alice CARRIER
Mrs. G. H. Kellogg, Mrs. Dr. G. B. Buck
nall. Mrs. Henry Euler, Mrs. George Reed
and Mrs. D. L. Kelly. The home has ac-
commodation for over one hundred boys
in addition to about thirty men, who are
already snugly housed in the comfortable
quarters.
1t is the desire Of Rev. Mr. Kip to have
an evening school established in the home
| in the neal. future at which, in addition
to the ordinary branches of education
necessary for practical business men,
there may be provided also a mechanical
training for such of the boys as are en-
gagged in that line
