Daughter Buried in the
Same Casket.

babe in the same casket, both having
died upon the same day, was the af-
fecting and unusual condition that sur
rounded the funeral Of Valentine Dah-
Ter, aged 43 years, and Marguerite
Dahler, aged 10 months, which took
place to-day Dahler died on Monday
night, and within an hour after his
demise the baby passed away as well,
leaving the widowed mother with one
child to mourn her double loss.
Mr.. Dahler was prominent in the Ger
man colony and in severaI orders, in
Guiding the Oakland VereIn Eintracht,
the Foresters of America, the Frater-
nal Order of Eagles and others. He
had so many friends that it was de-
cided to hold the funeral from Germa-
MIA Hall under the auspices of the
Verein Eintracht, assisted by the other
orders of which he was a member. The
peculiarly sad conditions that surround
ed the double death brought out an
unusual number of those who were
anxious to show for the dead the warm
friendship they had for him in life.
The services were conducted by the
Rev. c. Watson of the German Evan
gelical Church, who paid a touching
tribute to the dead father. who lay be-
side his dead daughter in the same
coffin

Oakland Office San Francisco Call,
Ills Broadway, March 9.

Frank Smith. a track repairer for the
Southern Pacific Company, was killed
by a light engine in Niles Canyon,
about a mile east of the town of Niles,
this morning.
Smith had been on the section only
for few weeks. and started out on his
railroad velocipede to make his regular
inspection through the canyon. He eX-
pected to make the trip through the
canyon before the Liyermore local could
arrive at Sunol, where he would pass
that train. There were no regular east
bound trains due at that time. Think
ing only of the Livermore train, TO
protect which he was making his trip
at that early hour, he did not expect an
engine behind him, while the frequent
and sharp curves in the canyon pre-
vented his hearing its approach Before
Engineer Hahn could shut off steam
and before Smith could jump from his
machine the engine struck his veloci-
pede and hurled it into the air. Smith
died in a few moments and the body
was removed to Niles, where an in
quest will be held.
