CALIFORNIA, Recent Raflroad Accidente—Heavy Loss of Life-Explosion ef Glycerine—Damage to the Mills—Masical and Theatrical Gossip. SAN FRANCISCO, Nov, 28, 169. ‘The sensation of the day is the recent ratiroad col- ligion, Nappentng as it did go near our city, almost as one might say in the suburbs, for San Liandro is bat some nine or ten miles from Oakland, and some eighteen miles from San Francisoo, it is bringing 1¢ right under our own observation and making us realize all the horrors of such an accident; for when such tragedies are enactod at a distance from us, even though our own friends or relatives may be sufferers thereby, we scarcely realize all their horrors from the fact of being so far removed from the scene of the catastrophe. Up to the present. time some twelve victims are reported dead, ten killed rot and two dying of thelr injuries. The switchman, an Irishman named Kane, has been arrested and peld to answer on the charge of mansiaughter, as it its olaimed that throagh his neglect or ignorance the ooliision occurred, Of course there must be some one to bear the blame and he will do as weil as another, though some people think that tne fault reaily lies with those who placed an ignorant or incompetent man in @ position where he could cause so much harm; be that as it may there is litvie doubt of one thing, that the company will have to pay right dearly in the way of damages for the injuries sustained by the victims of tae accident, Since then there bave been several other accidents on the line; one at Sacra- monto, where two freight trains ran into each other, injuring several, and one at Oakland landing, the cars running off the track, foriunavely, how- ever, doing no damage. This last might have been ® much more terrible catastropne than even toe firat, for the wharf on which the cars ruo is only wide enough for one track. It runs down into the bay nearly half @ mile, built on piles all the way, wita- out any outer wall or protection whatever; and should the train by any mishap—such, jor instance, Qs occurred tue other day—run off the track wo far tobe stopped, nothing on earth Could save every man, woman and child on that car from certain death.

The Grant Power Mills, situated fg Mission Creek, some four miles from city, blew a on Friday, the 26th tust. “ihe Wilegraph informed you of ihe circumstance, pit not ort eo details. Those milis are used in the manufacture of the Grant blasting powder. which is now much used in this Country, both ior mining and railroad work, On the evening of the explo- bye ed Was in the tanks some 800 pounds of nitro- Tup off that day to be made into powder. iy aa tn deadiy compound that exploded, how it is yet an tmposaibility to say. Some fay it was the work of design by some devil incarnate, but for what p no one knows. The superintending chemist, Dr. Businurs, and one of the men empioyed round the works were playing cards in the house of the superintendent wi the explosion took place. Both were instantly killed, the doctor’: ney ing blown jetely his shouidera, ‘ine works as they now appear yiseeas a Sotrinte spectacle, being ompletely wrecked in every Viewed from a Gisiance they present a if Mass or jumble of wood and metal scattered over a considerable space.

This goes far towards proving What its inventor claims for it, viz.:—freedom from danger in its handling. ‘The Chinese question ts at present occapying a deal of the public eution, Several antt- coolle meetings have been lately neld and addressed by those Opposed to the importation of Coinose labor. those who favor It is @ very mixed 2 sae the importation of les argue that what the country needs 1s cheap labor to develop its re- sources and butid its railroads; and they also say that there are many enterprises (woollen manufac- tore, for@nstance) that cannot be made to pay at the present high rates of wages.
