NARROW ESCAPE

Vigilance of Engineers Pre-
vents Fatal Collision Be-

TRAINS MEET AT LOMO
Headlights Are Sighted in
Time to Avert What Would
Have Been Awful Disaster

MARYSVILLE, Aug. 1.-TWO crowded
Oregon trains were in collision at Lomo,
siding six miles above Marysville, early
this morning, and a serious accident was
narrowly averted. Trainmen on the south
bound train claimed when they arrived
here a few minutes after the accident
that they had orders to meet the north
bound train at Lomo, and that the north
bound train had orders to meet the other
train at Live Oak, several miles beyond
Lomo.
Owing to the fact that the southbound
train was slowing down to make the sid
ing and that the track for long distance
was straight, allowing the engineers to
see the approaching headlights, a terrible
disaster was averted. The pilots and
front ends of both engines were badly
damaged BY me force of ther collision.
but the jar to the ecoaches on either train
was felt by but few of the passengers.
The engineers saved the trains by re-
versing the engines, and had almost sue
ceeded in stopping the trains when they
came together.

visited the temple of Terpsichore? Miss
Wendell herself replied to the queries.
] When 1 was down IN Mexico she said
"a greaser learned me how to make

with smoke and blow 1t into rings an

Miss Wendell kindly offered to give the
Judge an exhibition of her art, but as
smoking was tabooed In the tribunal the
proposed treat was reluctantly rejected
with this quiet atmosphere an good
cigareet," Miss Wendell averred, IT could
make picters that'd surprise YOU"
Then she repeated her declaration that
she was sick and tired of San Francisco,
and ascribed her WEAKNESS of mind to the
ebullitions of jealousy provoked by her
smoke blowing ability. IT'S me to Tono-

had dismissed her and remanded Miss
King for further investigation.

The San Francisco call., 1905-08-20


We highly commend the administra-
tion of District Attorney Byington for
energy, ability and integrity. The pro-
visions of the new charter more than
tripled the duties of the position. The
incumbent is carrying on. with a force
numerically smaller than that in use
twenty years ago, work which has
greatly increased with the material
growth of the city. District Attorney
Byington gives his personal attention
to every important case that comes up
for trial in the Superior Court and the
result is shown in the large number of
convictions secured. During the last
year the work has been particularly
heavy, but 1t has been speedily dis
posed of and the calendars kept clear.
We found the office of City Attorney
under the administration of Percy v.
Long to be well and efficiently man
aged.
This Grand Jury can do nothing but
commend in the highest possible terms
the administration of affairs In the
County Clerks office under the direc-
tion of Clerk John ]. Greif and his
deputy, Charles c. Morris.
The management of the Public Lii
brary by the board of trustees Is to be
commended.
PARK COMMISSIONERS.
The management of the parks and pub
lie squares of San Francisco is deserving
of all praise. Both the Office and field
force are doing their work faithfully and
we'll.
The system of bookkeeping adopted by
the commissioners would be credit to
a commercial house, the cost Of labor and
of materials charged to each item of
work being segregated in such manner
that the total and separate expenditures
are clearly indicated.
The secretary and the small Office force
under him are to be commended for their
efforts.
"A great deal has been well done and
economically accomplished in the way Of
improvements during the past year.
The Supervisors having secured the title
to most Of the land necessary for new
park way from the Park to the Preside.
the work of laying out new drives should
be promptly begun and completed.
The commissioners estimate that the
cost of the new drives, walks, bride paths
and ornamental grounds connecting both
parks, including the purchase and laying
of pipes, ETC., will be $95, 900.
The park commissioners and their able
superintendent. Mr.. John McLaren, can
be safely entrusted with the expenditure
of any sums the Board of Supervisors
may see it's way to grant, and such ap-
propriations, in the judgment of your
committee, should only be limited by the
exigencies of the municipal budget
We have made a careful investigation
into the management of the Almshouse,
and as a result commend the administra-
tion of the executive officers, Superintend-
ent Frank A. Schmitz, DR.. William E.
Conlan and Commfssary Richard P. Ju-
lian.
The committee of this Grand Jury in
yestigated the Office of the Board of
Health and particularly the method of
keeping accounts therein. The system is
orderly and methodical and the results
commendable Chief Clerk e. M. Coffey
has instituted numerous reforms, and his
management of this Office is worthy of
praise.

According to the complainant's testi-
mony Mr.. Wilkie is an electrician and a
resident Of Oakland, and while engaged
in alteration over a money transaction

abruptly drew the large pistol from one
of his hip pockets and brandished 1t in
such fearsome way that not only the
doctor, but his young lady stenographer
and several patients awaiting consulta
ton, fed in terror
Mr. wilkie displayed to the court a per-
NIT to carry a pistol and alleged that
the document had been issued TO him by
the authorities Of Oakland When re-
minded by the Judge that San Francisco
Is not within Alameda County's limits
and is not bound by Oakland's official
acts Mr. Wilkie elevated his eyebrows
and said that was strange. as his license
to pack a gun had been honored by the
police of every town in which he had oe-
casion to show IT. inclusive of the town

She was arrested last Tuesday on

who told Judge Fritz that she had be-
haved with unseeming frivolity at the
funeral Of his brother James, who once
was a captain Of police. The Judge con-
tinued the case thirty days, after a0-
vising the woman to keep the peace to-
ward her husband and all his relatives
during the interim. and 1t was while
leaving the court room that she dropped
the significant utterance hereinbefore
alluded to-
