S III FROM TRAIN
As Result of Fight i'm Rcfrc>hirc+lt
Car Excursion Train.

Amid a fight last night (Tuesday) in
the refreshment car of an excursion
train Mr.. J.. B. Todd, Of Nashville, was
pushed out of the side door while the
train was running As miles an hour
The affair occurred between Emporia
and Garysburg and an effort was made
by the conductor to stop the train and
go back for the injured man, but the
engineer would not obey the bell cord
signal. An explanation Of this fact
however, can be made, for the pas
sengers report that during the eatire
trip the bell cord had furnished amise-
ment to a number Of the drunken ex
cursionists.
Mr.. J. B. TODD, who fell from an ex-
cursion train near Emporia last night
walked from Foxes to Emporia be-
tween 10 o'clock last night and 8 this
morning, a distance of nearly four
miles Mr.. Todd shows signs of being
badly injured and is in the hands Of g
physician who at nine O'Clock today
has not given out the statement as &c
his condition. Mr.. Todd is well known
here, having been a prosperous farmer
in Nash county for a number of years.

CAPlTOLA CONFERENCE

SANTA CRUZ, April 1.-The session
of the Pacific Coast students confer
ence, which opened at Capitola today,
was attended by delegates from twen-
ty-one schools and colleges of the Pa
cific coast, from Seattle and Tacoma
in the north to Los Angeles and River
side in the south.
This mornings program, which will
be the morning program for the entire
conference, consisted of four mission
study classes, covering India, China,
etc, and of two bible study classes,
one led by Rev. w. II. Day of Los
Angeles, on the Acts of the apostles
the other by Prof. H. w. Gilbert of
San Francisco Theological seminary,
on the life of Christ. Mrs. ]. C. Cra-
vens of Northfield, Mass, addressed
the platform meeting.
The afternoon was occupied in an
informal reception, at which the dele
gates from Pomona and Occidental
colleges were the hostesses.

More Rich Strikes

Don't be surprised" continued Mr..
Jones, ito hear of other equally Won
derful strikes as those already report
ed, for in all my career I have never
seen such a marvelously rich mineral
country as the Goldfield- -Bullfrog -Tono-
pah district. So prolific has nature
been in her endowment of this region
with mineral resources, that everybody
has a chance to strike it, and the poor
man with perseverance and little
knowledge of minerals has good
chance to open up a, bonanza.
"Goldfeld and Tonopah are rapidly
growing into solid towns and the best
banks carry heavy deposits, and that
the merchants are erecting the most
substantial class of buildings. Town
lots in Goldfeld now sell at $4,000
which I could have bought year ago
for $3.50 each. A proportionate scale of
prices now prevails in Bullfrog and
Tonopah."
In speaking of the railroad situation
Mr.. Jones said: 1--WE must have better
transportation in order to give the mine
owners a chance to market their low
grade products. 1t is necessary at
present to unload and transfer freight
three times over the Mound House
route and Los Angeles should get busy
and help compel the building Of road
to connect with the Salt Lake route
at some point between here and Las
Vegas"

UNIQUE WORK At
SANTA BARBARA
oUTFALL SEWER BROUGHT TO
COMPLETION
Difficulties Attendant Upon Launeh-
ing Are Finally Overcome and
city Rejolees at Great SAM
itary improvement

Special to The Herald.
SANTA BARBARA, April Com
trary to the belief that the outfall
sewer which the city has been con-
structing could be launched within
thirty minutes, the force of men em-
ployed I'm the work labored for nearly
twelve hours.
The sewer is unique structure,
planned and built under the super
vision of Thomas Nixon, we'll known
contractor of this city. 1t is 500 feet
in length, with a weight of 131 tons.
The pipe proper is made Of planking
and Is dovatailed in a manner which
makes 1t water tight The joints are
tarred and painted with zinc, which
will withstand the salt water. Around
the outside are placed railroad rails,
which are strung on a girder, allowing
fifteen rails to form the circle about
the pipe. Between the rs formed by
the rails cement has been packed and
the mass thus forms a non-corrosive
sewer.
The contract called for $4,000 for the
construction and launching, but the
work has been attended by so many
difficulties that $1OO will barely cover
the expense.
In the launching was employed a
series of sixteen-foot wheels, strung
along at twenty-four-foot intervals,
with an ingenious device for liberating
them when their work of carrying the
pipe which was hung from their axles
was finished. The plan worked ad-
mirably until the wet sand was
reached, and then the wheels sank in
the sand and it required all the efforts
of two crews of men with tackle to
IropeI the mass at the rate of perhaps
an inch per minute into the water to
its final resting place. When 300 feet
of the sewer was in the water some of
the wheels were liberated by the heavy
waves, and this precipitated the end
of the pipe to the sand, making the
launching still more difficult.
This sewer is to be connected with a
pipe which leads to the end of the city
sewer system and will convey the sew
age out into the bay instead of allow
ing it to be dumped on to the beach,
as has been the case for some time
The poisonous natural gases that
have been encountered in the southern
part of the city tunnel have resulted in
the death of one of the workmen. An
gelo Lopez was asphyxiated while at
work early Sunday morning.

ST, LOUIS, April IA general strike
of ice and coal wagon drivers was
