insecure; thus, had not the train been stopped that very moment a serious ac cident would certainly have taken nlace Curious enough an accident was once prevented by a fall of snow, On the Trans-Sfbepian railway not long ago some train wreckers, anticipating the continental express, had been busily en- gagged for some hours tearing up the permanent way. But in the meantime so heavy fall of snow had occurred that the mall had been completely blocked some few hours before reaching the work of destruction. In, this way the robbers were defeated of their prey and the gangs of worlsmen who afterward went out to clear the line discovered the dam age on digging away the snow, but the disappointed marauders had, of course made good their escape.
 On another occasion a humble cow was the means of saving an express from destruction, though be it said, no partic- ular credit attaches to the animal itself A signal man noticed our bovine friend straying upon the line and immediately sent man to look for the animal and drive it to place of safety. The man. however. was unable to discover the COW for some time, and so wandered on till he came to a spot where numerous empty trucks stood upon siding. Arrived upon the scene the man was greatly alarmed to find that several trucks had by some means run down upon the main line but, luckily, just managed to reach the signalman In time to stop the express which was then already overdue, before 1t arrived at the point of danger.

COW SAVES AN
 EXPRESS TRAIN Narrow "Squeaks" Sometimes Happen In RaiIroading OHIO GIRL A HEROINE Narrow Escapes From Railroad Dis asters Are More Numerous Than Is Generally Supposed-Some
 Incidents to the Point.
OHIO GIRL A HEROINE

From the Boston Herlad.
 Though railway disasters of a serious kind happen, comparatively speaking, only very seldom, it nevertheless must not be supposed that narrow, 'squeaks" do not sometimes occur, for alarming ac- cidents have often been prevented by the merest chance. Indeed, whenever and however one may be travelling a certain risk is always bound to be run.
 Only a few weeks ago a more or less serious accident was prevented in Ohio by the presence of mind of a little girl returning home from visiting friend late one evening. The girl happened to catch sight of some bulky object lying across the rails, which examination proved to be a large tree which had blown down by the wind. So with all speed the girl rushed to the nearest up signal and. scaling the ladder, complete ly smashed every atom of glass from the green light, afterward treating the down, signal in like manner. The driver of the approaching train was as- tonished to observe a white head instead of the orthodox green or red, and at once brought up the engine, On descend ing to see what was wrong, the driver dis covered the little girl, who at once showed him the obstacle upon the line.
 Again what would have been terrible calamity was recently prevented by a most curious coincdent. A French pas senger train was running rapidly along one evening when the guard was startled by hearing some one pull the communi- cation cord. At once applying the brakes the man ran to the compartment where help was supposed to be needed, only to find that a passenger had accidentally pulled the alarm in reaching small port inanteau from the rack. But, strange to relate. the engine driver, who, in the meantime had proceeded little way up the line. found that bridge over which the train was about to pass had become

An Interesting Relic.

E. R. Fountain of 1720 Second avenue Bessemer, has in his possession an in- teresting relic in an old brass cannon which his father, Robert F. Fountain found in 1895 on the beach al Stapleton, Staten Island, New York, while bathing. The relic is solid brass, weighs 100 pounds, and shoots one-fourth of a pound Of powder. It was taken by him to Mont gomery in 1S47, and the only time it has been used has been to fire 1t in the in- terest of democracy during reconstruction days. The name that the cannon bears Is ..The Little Texas of Alabama .

A., B. & A. Work About Completed.

A., B. & A. Work About Completed.
 The work of construction of the Allan ta, Birmingham and Atlantic railroad into Bessemer is practically completed with the exception of the laying of the steel and the building of the bridges over the streams between Bessemer and Pel- ham, on the main line of the Louisville and Nashville railroad. It is stated on good authority that the steel for the bridges and trestles has been purchased but no time is named when this part of the work will be carried forward. As the road is in the hands of receivers it may be some time before the work of laying steel is begun, but there is no doubt of the road being completed, not only into Bessemer, but also through to Mulga The contractors are now nov ing their equipment which has been used here for the past two years, and all of the engineers have left the city, so there will be little else done here until the work of laying steel is begun.

OAKLAND PLANS
BIG BOND ISSUE
Administration to Ask for Water
Front Improvements and
New City Hall

OAKLAND, Aug. 1S-After six
months active preparation by the board
of public works, and two months ard
uous. legal work by City Attorney John
w. Stetson and Assistant City Attorney
w. II. O'Brien, the proposed municipal
bond issue calling for an expenditure
of approximately S3,500.OOO for water
front improvements and new CITY
hall, is approaching the Legislative
stage.
At the next meeting of the city
council a resolution of intention out
lining the work contemplated will
probably be introduced, and later an
ordinance will be drafted, giving the
undertaking official sanction.
Colonel Heuer, former engineer of the
war department, has been engaged in
an advisory capacity to examine and
criticise the plans for dock and wharf
construction and will be called upon to
determine, among other points, whether
seawall or piers will be built. He is
soon to return from Los Angeles and
assist in completing the water front
plans The exact area for improve
ment is yet to be determined.
1t is proposed to expend S2,000,OOC
for docks and wharves along the
estuary between Broadway and Jeffer-
son street and at the foot of Livingston
street in East Oakland, approximately
81 900 600 for a city hall and S350,00C
for West Oakland wharf construction
The city hall plans will be completed
within few days.
Mayor Mott ANNOUNCED today that il
is the intention to hold the bond cleo
tion at the end of September or early
in October.

MEDICAL CLASS HAS
TWO LONE STUDENTS
Survival of Fittest Process in
Examinations Eliminates Is
Would Be Doctors

BERKELEY. Aug. 1s.-There will be
graduating class of two from the
medical department of the university
this year. 1t was thought for time
that s. F. Long Jr.. university graduate
and brother of the Pacific coast cham
pion tennis player, would be the only
senior in the department and would
and uniquely. but the return to college
of Miss Marion Osgood Hooker, who
has been i'll, has made a duo" class.
Long and Miss Hooker will Jointly su-
pervise the conduct of the students of
the other classes of the Affiliated col
leges in San Francisco
The same condition of affairs OBJ
tained last year. when Long and Miss
Hooker were the only registered stu
dents in the junior class. Then Miss
Hooker was i'll and Long was the lone
junior of the college.
The unique turn of fate is the result
of the changing of standards of
scholarship in the medical department.
of the university. Formerly there were
80 in the medical class of 1910, but one
by one they dropped out until Long
and Miss Hooker alone remained the
survival of the fittest process in exam
nations.
Both are brilliant students and they
regard the fact that they attend a class
of two as an opportunity for greater
study, closer association with their pro-
fessors and better chances for knowl-
edge than when the class was COM
posed of a greater number.
While both look forward to gradua-
tion neither has worked out the details
of the event. Who will be the presi-
dent of the class has not been decided,
although they have talked of calling a
"class" meeting. A turn of the coin
probably will be resorted to when II
comes to dividing the honors of being
the speakers for the salutatory and
yaledictory addresses. DR.. A. A.
d'Ancona, dean of the medical depart
ment, will preside at the exercises.

THIEVES LOCKED UP IN
SALOONS GET MONEY
Police Investigate Series of
Strange RObberieS

OAKLAND, Aug. 1S.-The Oakland
police department is daily becoming
more familiar with the custom of sa-
loon keepers in hiding their days re-
ceipts in supposedly safe places in the
rear of their establishments, only to
find that thieves who have a habit of
getting locked in discover the cOip with
apparent ease.
The second case of this kind within
two weeks was reported today. Ed
ward Mullen. bar keeper for James
Corley at 1902 San Pablo avenue, eau
tiously seereted $50 in coin taken in
during the day, among some demi-
johns in a rear room of the saloon at
the time of closing. thief. who is
believed by Corley to have been a
habitue of the saloon and familiar with
its customs, was evidently hiding in
the back room when the lights were
put out. and had no trouble in locat-
ing the coin and escaping with it,
A similar robbery took place in
Theodore Gier's liquor house in Wash
ington street recently, when SAC was
placed inside a box in the basement,
but few feet away from an ingenious
thief who was waiting to be locked
in. He got away with the money in
the same way the San Pablo avenue
robber is believed to have done.
