HE oLADDENED THE CHILDREN.
Baltimore Citizen introduced German

Baltimore Citizen introduced German
Toys in America.
Perhaps MIR. Henry Schwarz OF Bal
timore actually was not. as has been
claimed, the man who introduced a
new element in American life by
bringing German toys here and open
ing the eyes of this country's children
to their delights. Girls and boys,
doubtless, have had toys ever since 1t
has been possible to construct doll
out of rags or an imitation gun cut OF
stick of wood; but at any rate, Mr..
SchwarZ was one of the pioneers in
bringing the German variety, which
may be described as the toy rescued
from barbarism and made civilized,
here. AS matter of business he ere
ated a demand for these wares and
then set himself to supply that de-
mand, but it is impossible to believe
that he did not have sympathy for
his work that was beyond business, q
genuine interest in childish pleasures
otherwise he never would have had
the faith in his business and its ex
tension which he did have.-Baltimore

Bear Holds up Car.

A huge bear held up a trolley car
running from Nealmont to Tyrone, Pa.
The motorman saw dark object
astride one of the rails, and believing
it was a man. applied the power and
stopped the car within few feet OF
the object. which turned out to be a
black bear prepared for battle. The
motorman dropped the fender of the
car and applying all the power shot
the car forward. 1t struck the bear
amidships and hurled him to the side
of the track. The assault discomfort
ed the animal, and evidently in fright
it took to the mountain at the side
of the road.

To Be ADJUSTED
Southern Pacific Agrees

Arbitrator.

The Supervisors Street Committee yes
terday considered the proposed ordinance

bond to protect property owners from
damages by change Of grades for railroad
construction. Chief Counsel W. +. Her
rim of the Southern Pacific Company ap-
peared and advocated the passage of the
bill. r. w. Gillogley, H. D. Robinson and
E. d. Sullivan opposed its passage until
they should have time to examine into
aid report upon its merits. The commit
tee postponed action pending the report of
the City Engineer relative to settlement
OF damage claims against the Southern
Pacific Company as a result OF the pro
posed construction Of its bay shore road.
Attorney Herrin said the company
would agree to the proposition TO refer
to City Engineer Grunsky all claims FOR
damages that might be filed.
Grunsky said the purpose of the bill is
to inform interested persons that they
will not be assessed for any possible ben
efits through changes of grades and also
that they will be indemnified for dam
ages.

property owners through the operation

ABERDEEN RUNS
INTO FERRY-B0AT
Steam Schooner Pokes
a Hole in Bow Of
the Tiburon.
Passengers Receive a Big
Scare, but Escape With
out Harm.

The California Northwestern Railroad
ferry boat Tiburon collided with the
steam schooner Aberdeen about o'clock
last evening off Washington-stree wharf
The schooner struck the ferryboat on the
port side about ten feet from the bow,
tearing away her rail and damaging
portion of her deck, but not penetrating
her hun. The Aberdeen was slightly in
JUred. No one was hurt on either vessel.
The passengers on the Tlburon were
greatly frightened by the shock of the
collision. A catastrophe was only averted
by the fact that the ferryboats engines
were moving at half speed at the time of
the collision and the prompt action of
Captain White in stopping his boat. The
Tiburon left her slip a Tiburon at $50,
having on board about $50 passengers
from Santa Rosa, Petaluma and other
up-country stations along the California
Northwestern road. Captain H. r. White
was in charge of the ferryboat. All went
we'll until the pilot was turning his boat
toward the San Francisco slip The
steam schooner Aberdeen, bound out, was
running close to the wharves Captain
White had the right of way, but the
schooner pilot paid no attention to the
whistle of warning and continued going
ahead. The Tiburon's engines were
slowed down. Captain White, seeing the
short whistles and reversed his engines.
but ii was too late 10 avert the collision.
The Aberdeens bow struck the Tiburon
just to the rear of her forward lifeboat
daVits. cutting away the rail and several
feet of decking. After disentangling her
self the Tiburon made the run into the
slip and discharged her passengers
James Black, a passenger on the tt
buron, said in an interview last night:
Il was on the Tiburon this evening when
she was struck by that steam schooner
The first I knew of the impending danger
was when the whistle sounded several
short blasts and Immediately thereafter
the engine gong sounded four times Only
a few seconds thereafter collided. [
rushed to the outside and saw the other
boat backing away. Our boat was badly
damaged. but we passengers could not
tell whether the hull was penetrated or
not We were about two hundred yards
from the shore. The boats officers as
suIed us all was well, but ii was some
time before the women passengers could
be quieted down. 1t was evidently the
schooner's fault and not the Tiburon s."
Captain White of the Tiburon, who re-
sides at Tfburon, absolutely refused to
discuss thei collision. The Tiburon is laid
up at her slip on this side of the bay
She is badly damaged outside and her
tImbers wrenched. The Donahue which
has been taking the place of the Tamal-
pals on the North Shore road, took the
Tiburons place.
The Aberdeen. which was bound for
Gray's Harbor, continued on her way
TO sea after the collision. Before she
reached the heads, however, 1t was dis
covered that she was leaking and Cap
tain Hansen returned to Mission-street
wharf for repairs. Captain Hansen dis
claims all responsibility for the collision.
