-Warning Given TO One Train.

Byron, CAL, Dec. 22.-Twenty per-
sons were killed and % others were
seriously injured in the collision Sat-
urday night between the southbound
Los Angeles "Owl" and the Stockton
flyer. 1t was Q rear-end collision, the
engine Of the local blowing its way
into the last coaches Of the "Owl,"
which was filed with Fresno people.
The passengers who escaped death
were hurled to the fore part Of the
coach, crushed in between the mass
Of debris, their suhsrings and dan.
ger intensified . hundredfold by the
clouds Of scalding steam that poured
out upon them from the shattered
boiler Of the Stockton engine.
After the owl" left the Oakland
Mole it was noted that there was
leak in the fue Of the engine. This
increased to such an extent that 1t
was deemed advisable to stop here
to take up . freight engine for re-
Lief. The train officials knew that
the Stockton local train was followed
a half hour behind and hagman was
sent back down the track to give
warning Of the presence Of the "Owl."
It Is said that the Stockton train,
in charge Of Engineer Mcguire and
Fireman Joyce, got the warning sig
nal in due time and gave the usual
response with whistle blasts, but on
came the train with apparently
scarcely any diminution Of speed and
the Fresno coachswas completely tele-
scoped. So foroibly did the local
meet the rear Of the "Owl" that the
end Of the second car, tho dining car,
was smashed in and the three cooks
were seriously hurt. The penned-up
victims were spared from fire be-
cause the oil Burners were extin,
guished when the crash came.
Edward Joyce, fireman Of the
Stockton flyer, in q statement ex-
planning the collision, said; I'VE saw
the hagmaH's light ahead Of US and
put on the brakes at once. They
seemed to work well enough but we
could not stop in time to avoid
smashing into the rear Of the "Owl"
train. The engine went right |

farmers VIII be allowed TO own "a share

the CHIEF branch establishment to be
in Chicago All kinds Of farm pro-
dlcts are to be dealt in and handled

grain are also contemplated, with the
OBJECT Of giving the farmer a CHARGE
o getting better price for his pro-

by eliminating the middle men and

up and rolled off the trail into the

cue them and came near loosing his
life. Being tied together the horses
were unable to save themselves and
the four OF them soon drowned. Mr.

OF packing and it is reported swore of

Whether the Company should
take risks on the stockof merchants
living In the country, gave rise to
considerable discussion. w. f.
Pierson offered resolution that in
effect repealed the position theCom-
pany for several years had taken
which enacted bylaw prohibiting
the taking of new risks on stores
and their contents, but allowing
all who were insured in It to remain.
Mr.. Persons resolution was as
follows:
Resolved, That the President
and Board of Directors be author
lied to insure store and storehOuses
as all ether property taken by the
Company in its proper class"
THIS motion was cOmbatted by
d. S. Greever, William A. Rhodes
and a number of others. Mr.. w.
H. Hunter offered resolution as
substitute worded as follows:
"Resolved, That the President
and Board of Directors be author
lied to increase the insurance on
stOre-buildings and on stocks of
goods that are already insured in
these buildings"
The substitute coming up for
action first, a motion was made
that stock vote be taken, which
consumed nearl y an hour, but before
completed it was found out that it
would be defeated by at least four
to one, it was dropped, and the
original motion of Mr.. Pierson was
subjected to a stock vote and pre-
vailed by vote of 5000 to 1896.
The Company is now empowered
to insure stOrehOuses and stocks
whenever they deem the risk
profitable one. Not single store
in the county insured in this
Company has ever caused it any
loss.
The Company also decided that
vacant houses in the Company did
not lose their insurance from hav-
ing no tenant. Schoolhouses of |
the county at least half of the year
were vacant, but none of them were
burned, and the Company deemed
it a safe and profitable risk. On
the farms, it was stated, that vacant
houses were more secure from fire
than if occupied by half Of the
.enants who now occupy such
houses.
A committee consisting of VIM.
4. Rhodes, G. L. Seibert and John
,. Ackerly was appointed to ex-
mine the report of the secretary
md treasurer and report to the
september meeting of the Board of
Directors.
At 4.30 the meeting adjourned
