of the Moderate school at Barcelona.

dence was submitted to show that he

kens and Ferrer were victims of the

completes of Morales. DEPUTY Col
ajanti declared the two Spaniards
were prosecuted because they were
thinkers and opposed to the papacy
and clericalism.

of viva Ferrer' and down with the
papacy and the priests" were heard.

skulls as the result of street car acci-
dents today.
j. Meyerhoff, motorman, was prob
ably fatally injured at the foot of the
Fillmore street hill tonight. Meyer
hoffs car broke loose from it's cable
when half way up the hill and shot
down the steep incline at terrific speed,
colliding with another car at the foot
of the hill.
Fortunately there were no passen-
gers on the runaway car, while those
in the car at the foot of the hill were
warned of their danger in time to
jump.
John Easter, a saloonkeeper from
Merrill, Ore, who arrived in the city
today, was struck by a car as he was
crossing Market street near Third.
He sustained a fractured skull and
other injuries, which makes his re-
covery doubtful.
While running after a westbound
car on Market street this afternoon H.
j. Belcher, a recent arrival from the
east, was run down by a car from the
opposite direction, whose rapid ap-
proach he failed to notice. Besides
