GRAFT FIGHT IN FRISCO.
Court Restrains Political Boss From
 Oustins District Attorney.

Court Restrains Political Boss From
 oustins District Attorney.
 San Francisco, Oct. 31.-As a result of proceedings in the superior court, District Attorney W. H. Langdon was judicially recognized as the incumbent of the office to which Abraham Ruef, the political boss of this city, was last week appointed by Acting Mayor Gal lagher in LangdOn's place.
 Langdon holds that his office Is con- stitutional and beyond the interference of the mayor. The acting mayor gave as his reason for suspension that Lang don had neglected his duty to stump the state as the Independence league candidate for governor.
 The action of Acting Mayor Gal lagher in suspending Langdon came as a tremendous surprise, following the sensation of few days ago when it was announced that Francis J. Heney, who had been appointed by Langdon as assistant district attorney to inves- tigate the charges of grafting by po- litical bosses, had found evidence against Ruef and Mayor SchmitZ. Ruef is known as the political boss of San Francisco, while Schmitz is serv- ing his third term as mayor, having been elected by the Union Labor par ty. The mayor is in Europe on a va- cation.
 It is conceded that the suspension of Langdon was made to get rid of Heney, who was discharged by Ruef.
 A score of men who came into pub lie life through the recent political up- heavals, who were poor in purse, have recently been exhibiting signs of wealth in the way of handsome homes, costly business places and lavish ex- penditures of money. It has been openly charged that many saloons, dis orderly houses, etc, were severely tax ed to be allowed to flourish in peace.

the submerged coaches The water at the point where the train plunged Tn was not deep enough to cover the coaches at first, but as they quickly settled In the mud and as the tide rose they were soon hidden from sight ex cept for the trolley poles. Divers were sent down to try to reach the dead bodies in the coaches.
 Later a wreckinG crew arrived on the scene and with their aid and the use of a derrick a dozen or more bodies were taken out and brought to this city.
 Bridge Tender Loses Reason.
 The man who may best be able to tell what caused the accident is Dan. tel B. Stewart, the bridge tender, whose work it Is to look after the drawbridge. Stewart, however, is in no condition to talk. The horror of the acciaent has so upset him that he Is temporarily bereft of his reason. Stewart is sixty-fve years old, and the shock may end his life before he Is able to give his evidence.
 The motorman, Walter c. Scott, was drowned. The conductor, J. O. Curtis, and the brakeman, R. B. Wood, es- capped.
 AS the train bounded. along over the bridge, with never a hint to the un- suspecting passengers that death would come to many so suddenly, all at once the forward coach lurched, the ponder ous wheels leaping the rails and com ing down upon the ties. Swerving to the left, the coach dragged the others after it and plunged over the edge into the water. Although the tremendous weight of the first car dragged the oth- CTS off the rails and pulled the second one into the water with it, the third coach struck heavy abutment and was left momentarily suspended.
 AS soon as the first coach was pre- cipitated into the water there were hideous screams of men, women and children. Caught like 80 many rats in trap, they were thrown in heaps, and what little chance these might have had to escape was cut off by the wild scramble which ensued.
 There are twenty-three injured per sons in the hospital

STONE ROAD, SAGINAW COUNTY, MICH,
UNDER CONSTRUCTION.

for this width and for sections OF about
forty RODS il length. No earth is re-
moved, however. and no excavation is
made TO receive the stone
After blowing the read grader is
this means to the shoulders. The
crown is formed to curve of about
one and Onc-fourth inch TO the foot
from the center to the side bitches.
The roadway is then rolled thoroughly.
Crushed stone not exceeding four
inch size is spread to 4 depth of four
inches and thoroughly rolled. The
stone is scattered from spreading wag-
ons and not dumped on the road to be
drawn out with rakes. ana it will be
noted that for the first layer it is OF
large size. three inch stone being more
nearly the usual size.
-Four inches OF two and One-half inch
stone are then spread and brought 10
even grade, and before this course is
rolled Il large quantity of screenings
and dust is spread over and scraped
into the interstices of the stone by
means of the points of the square shoy-
els. The road is then thoroughly sprin-
kled and rolled. Then more screenings
are added for the surface course.
This method requires from 1850 to
1000 cubic yards of broken stone per
mile the amount depending upon the
soil on which the road is built. Sandy
soil does not require as much stone as
q soil OF clay or muck. The stone
must all be shipped into Saginaw coun-
tv and costs $50 per cubic yard de-
Iyered at Saginaw, and the total cost
of turnpiking, ditching, grading ana
macadamizing amounts to from $4,000
to $4,000 per mile Most Of the draw
inc is done with traction engines,
When "hard heads are crushed for
stone road material Mr.. Kerns recon-
mends the use of n - per cent clay
gravel as Il filler instead of limestone
screenings And he also says: Il would
advise counties taking up road build
ing to secure man to manage their
work who has practical and mechau-
zeal ideas. | do not consider it neces-
sary that he should be a civil engineer,
but he should be Il good manager and
a man who understands handling men
and work Roads built on paper are
not very satisfactory to Taxpayers so
it is essential that the proper man be
selected.
ITO sum it all up, I would say that
there are four principles involved. The
first is drainage, which must be thor
ough and ample; the second IS scien-
tifc grading in order that the roadway
may have 4 waterproof roof: the third
is horse sense in mechanical ideas
relative to roads. and tie last is eXecU-
tive ability TO handle the work eXpedi-
tiously. making the cost rs light as
possible to the taxpayers and ut the
same time finishing the road In a way

Faces defeat full patiently;
And lifts a mirthful roundelay
However poor his fortunes be-
He will not fail in any qualm

1t will grow golden i'm his palm,
Who bides his time.
Who bides his time--he tastes the

And though he fares with slowest feet,
Joy runs to meet him, drawing near,
The birds are heralds of his cause;
And, like a never-ending rhyme,
The roadsides bloom in his applause.
Who bides his time.
Who bides his time, and fevers not
In the hot race that none achieves.
Shall wear cool-wreathen laurel
wrought
With crimson berries in the leaves;
And he shall reign a goodly king,
And sway his hand DER every CLINE
With peace writ on his signet-ring,
Who bides his time.

MARKETS
GOOD SUPPLY FRUIT ON SALE
Watermelons from Clarl<ston Sell
RapidIy-No Eggs on Market.

The supply Of fruits and vegetables
in the local market is very good this
morning. Peaches from the Califor-
MIA and Wenatchee orchards are being
sold with preference over the irri-
gated Charleston product.
Charleston watermelons are coming
in more rapidly today and are selling
fast. The supply in vineland will
this year be shorter than in preceding
years on account Of the growers plant
ing so few for fear Of the frost killing
them.
Eggs are not being handled by the
local wholesale houses and prices are
not quoted. When eggs dropped out
of the market they were quoted at
$3.50 and $6.75 per crate. The egg at
this time of year is generally small
and of poor shipping quality.
1t is thought that the late grapes
will begin to appear the latter part
of this month. Those on the market
now are of the Sweetwater variety
and are small and unripe. The local
butter market remains unchanged this
morning. A raise in the quotation Is
not expected for some time yet
