THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1895. CRUSHED BY THE WHEELS OF ATROLLEY-CHR Another Life Sacrificed to the Lack of Dum- my Fenders. ALMOST CUT IN TWAIN. Run Down by a Broadway Elec- tric-Car and Killed In- stantly. A SCHOOLBOY THE VICTIM. i/ Splendid Record of the Alameda Fender, Which Has Saved Seven Lives. Another life that might have been saved—probatly would have been saved— sacrificed yesterdaj to the procrastina- re are no fenders on the electric-cars that dash through the crowded streets at breakneck speed. It is due to this fact another child was killed yesterday. He was crossing Broadway, between Moni- A PRACTICABLE CAR-FENDER WHICH HAS SAVED SEVEN LIVES IN A SHORT SPACE CF TIME IN ALAMEDA. | Alanieda citizen. Two years ago it was | first placed on the San Pablo road. It had | not been in use but a_few weeks before it saved the life of an Oaklanil young lady, who was strck by the car while passing too close on a bicycle. This was Miss Ethel McGuire. She was riding 2 little in advance of a party of friends. When she came to the junction of Broadway, Tele- | graph and San Pablo avenues with Four- teenth street she looked back to see if her | friends were coming. When she looked around again a San Pablo avenue car was within four feet of her wheel and the track | was wet. 2 The wheel slipped as she tried to turn out. She fell in front of the car; but there was a fender on this car—tbe so-called Alameda fender. Itcaught her up in its arms, as it were, and she rode safely until the car could be stopped. Then she got up, mounted the bicycle and rode home, most thoroughly frightened but not in the least injured. 7 : Tue Cavr hasno intention of particu- larly advertising Mr.~ Clark’s fender, Doubtless there are others as good. Cer- tainly, the very fact t the fender is | practicable proves beyond a question that 1.0 streetcar need be without a fender. In Eastern cities all the streetcars are re- | quired to have practicable fenders, and all | of them have such inventions. So far the Alameda fender has saved seven lives from. being crushed and man- gled under the wheels of the trolley-cars. Perhaps it is needless to_speculate upon | what might bave becn had the Market- | street Railway’ Company been humane | enough to equip their trolley-cars with | fen lers from A.e start, or had they merely | obeyed the law passed by the Supervisors | recently. In the latter case, at all events the Broadway tragedy gould not he | occurred yesterday. And it is certai Ay d Kearny street, just a here the little Feakes r fate a few weeks ago. Car 1114 was going eastward at its usual speed. Luigi Giorno, 6 years of age, was the victim. He co not measure the speed of the car. With a younger brother and a sister he was on his way to the Sil- ver Star Kindergarten, on Sansome street, near Broadway. The wheels of the for- ward truck passed over him entirely, crushing out the tender spark of life al- most instantly, Those on the sidewalk heard a half- stiffied cry from beneath the juggernaut and then all was over. The car was stoppped before the rear wheels reached the m d listle body. It was a shocking thing to happen on the public street. There were many pedes- trians on the street at that time—just be- fore 9 o'clock in the morning. A couple of womien in the crowd fainted. Men who saw it beld their breath and turned white for a moment. Then they rushed for- ward and helped to extricate the child from the running-gear of the car. There need have been no hurry about the mat- ter, however, for the cry that came from the baby lips when the whee! struck was the death cry. 1t happened in front of gomery avenue block away f the County Jail. Chief Jailer Sattler rushed out and tried to help the others extricate the body. But this could not be readily done, for 1t was pinned down by the side bars. The great green juggernautitseli must be lifted to one side before its baby victim could be extricated. Half a hundred men gave their strength to the task, and the car was raised high enough to permit the removal of the little mass of flesh and bones—now scarcely recognizable. Dr. Barrett, the Morgue physician, said that death was caused by a shock from inds. Then with surgical particularity scribed the wounds—a huge laceration exposing the abdom nal cavity irom sprite to umbilicus, etc. Both arms were broken. The face was mutilated, the —; but why multiply the horrors. Little Luigi died an awful death! And the thing to dwell upon at this time is the absence of a fender on the car that{ killed him. The same car, or another of the same line, may kill another chila to- day. Fornone of the cars have fenders, though the Supervisors recently passed a law making it compulsory on the part of the Market-street Railway Company to it every one of its cars and dummies with a fender. 1f the Market-street Company had obeyed this law yesterday’s tragedy on Broadway could not have occurred, and there would be no danger of a similar oceurrence this morning and to-morrow morning. Eye-witn y the front of the car struck Luigi and knocked him down, and then crashed over bim before James Sam- ple, the motorman, could stop it. Had there been a fender in front of the car it must have caught the boy and have saved him from the wheels. A few bruises : ould have been the worst of the acci- ent. But there was no fender. The bystand- ers picked up the little mangled body, put itin a blanket secured at the jail and car- ried it down to the Morgua, The green juggernaut went on down Kearny street, an soon as the motor- man could be relieved from his post he went out to the new City fiall and gave himself up. The policemen took him up- stairs before Police Judge Conlan, who or- de; a charge of manslaughter placed against Sample, and then turned him loose 02 his own recognizance. gi was the son of Frank Giorno, a la- borer, who lives with- his family at 29 Hinckley place. They are natives of Ttaly —the mother and father—and but recently came to this State from Texas. The mother was nearly frantic yesterday. when they told her of the accident. Dystanders say the car was going at top speed past the jail when the children tried to cross. Sample says it was not going fast and points to_the fact that it was so %uickly stopped to prove his contention. | ut not even Mr. Vining will deny that the car was without a fender, and that the time set by law for the fitting of all cdrs with fenders has expired. The claim heretofore put forward by Buperintendent Vining _and other officiais of tne Market-street Railway Company that a suitable and a practicable fender was impossible, or even difficuli, to secure, is not borne out by the facts. The truth is there are several practicable fenders to be had—for the price of their construction plus the patentee’s royalti'. Any one who doubts this should take a day off ana go to Oakland and Alameda. All the electric-cars there have ienders, and they are practicable, life-saving fend- ers, as the residents of both Oakland and Alameda have reason to know. The ap- pliance in question is known a8 the Ala- meda fender. If it works well on the east side of the bay there is reason to believe qnda 1t might do good service on the west side. It is the invention of J. P. Clark, an | pertinent to ask Mr. Vining and his com- | pany what they intend to do in the future. i There have been various and sundrv teats made of fenders, but none of them proved acceptable to Mr, Vining and his | company. True, any one of them would undoubtedly have saved the life of the little Italian schoolboy yesterday morn- ing—but, then, human life is cheap and fenders cost money. Yesterday there was another fender ex- eriment made under the direction of Mr. Vining. It is hoped that something more than a bare experiment will result from it. The Baltimore car-fender was the one tested. Itis described as comprising, to | begin with, a double guard of iron tubing, extending across the track in front of the car. One of the round bars hangs very | close to the rails, and from it a number of | curved iron straps slant backward and up- ward with something of the ordinary cow- catcher appearance and effect. The other bar is elevated three feet above the ground, | and from it a guard of painted canvas is stretched downward to that below. ' Be- | tween the two there would seem to be no | possibility of any part of the end of the car striking a man while the fender is in position. The lower guard hangs quite close {0 the | track, but by means of a fever placed con- veniently to the gripman’s hand it can be instantly dropped still lower, resting in fact upon the rai Thata human body, however small, could pass underneath { would seem to be an impossibility. Never- | theless this contingency is " provided | against. Under the carand jusf in front of the wheels & secondary fender, consist- ingof flat straps fastened to light but | strong iron tubing, is affixed in such a po- sition and so close that nothing could pass under it. The test was made ye:terdn{ mornin, on the Mission-street line. Mr. Vining an several Supervisors were present. The former was especially pleased with the fender. He said he was satisfied that the Baltimore appliance was the one that should be adovted. When asked whether the Market-street Railway would fit its cars with the Balti- more fender, Mr. Vining said it all de- pended upon the action taken by the | Board of Supervisors. ‘“We are not at liberty to adopt any par- ticular fender,” said he, ‘‘until the Super- visors have passed upon the merits of those submitted.” Mr. Clark of the Alameda fender was Qresent at the test yesterday morning. Naturally enough, he claimed that it was not equal to his own invention. It is ap- yarept, however, that from the test of the Baltimore fender yesterday, and the long- continuéd test of the Alameda fender in actual use, that such a thing as a practi- cable fender is not only a possibility, buta living reality, and that if the Market- street Railway desires to make its street- cars less dangerous to life and limb there is no valid reason why they cannot be fitted with life-saving fenders, of one kind or another, in a very short space of time. — e RELIGIOUS PROGRESS, An Epitome of the Ser- mons of the Week. Following is a summary of the principal sermons recently delivered in the United States and Canada by the leading clergy- men, priests, prelates, religious teachera and professors of the Christian faith. In every instance the full text has been care- fully read and abbreviated. by THE SLEEPING CHURCH. Sleeping Jonahs are the dead weights on the Gospel ship, and her storms are due to their presence. 8o many inside the church are never desirous or long for the salvation of other souls, nor even for their own. 8o the church languishes. Are we not as Christian people and citizens all more or less guilty of this very hindrince to the influence and full power of Christianity ?7— Rev. Dr. Bickley, Wheeling, W. Va. o niE Y THE AWAKENING CHURCH. The church of Christ is rousing herself like a giant from slumber. She is uttering her voice on the great question of citizen- ship, dealing with the social issues with the determination to seftle them from a Christian standpoint, taking hold of the vital problems of illiteracy, pauperism, vice and erime. Everywhere the cry is oing up: “Let us bury our theological ifferences and unite on somé line of moral endeavor.” Theology is receiving less at- tention, and questions pertaining to prac. \ tical life are receiving more.—Rev. J. W. Sylvester, Congregationalist, Denver, Colo. o g e THE HOME. The home is the most sacred institution. When Abraham Lincoln was elected to the Presidency he seemed not to hear the shouts of the multitude who gathered, about him, but calmly rose and said he must tell his mother, “The man who ioves his home and stays there is the true de- fender of the home. God will honor and bless the man who is in the highest sense a true defender.—Rev. M. J. Steppy, Meth- odist, Allegheny, Pa. e iy AMERICA. Nowbhere is there a country where labor- ers are more prosperous and independent. Nowhere is there a country where nature has used a more lavish hand in distribut- ing her favors; nowhere is there a coun- try where religion is so free and untram- meled; nowhere js there a country where Teligious liberty is more enjoyed,- and nowhere is there a country where educa- tion is so general. 1 have learned to reciate the zood things of my country. Rev. F. M. Bristol, Methodist, Evanston, 1L PRI THE NEW WOMAN. The new woman may be manly, for man- liness is a virtue common to both sexes; but & mannish woman is intolerable, and mannishness ought not to be a quality of any woman. Commorn-sense teaches that comfort, safety and propriety demand proper garments for such exercise as bath- ing, riding, eycling, but there is no cause to- day, nor has there ever been, for a woman to obliterate the distinction which God has intended to make perpetual.—Rev. D. B. Greigg, Presbyterian, Baltimore, Md. - COWARDLY CHRISTIANS. There is a great deal of cowardice in the church, but it is no part of a Christian. No Christian can be or is a coward. Whenever you see a church member begin to dodge questions of right, begin to side with evil, begin to make excuses and ex- plain why he does not take a strong, open, manly stand for God, you watch that man, and let him watch himself also. That spirit is not of God. God does not bestow that kind of gifts upon his crea- ig}res.~Rev. R. T, DuBose, Jacksonville Fla. — e RELIGIOUS MUGWUMPS. tive character. He should be positive alike, in religion and politics. There is no room for those people who do not know where they are on the ereat questions of the day. If a man is a Methodist he ought to be a Methodist and not a half-way Presby- terian and Baptist. Whatever he is he ought to be that all over and stand square- 1y with both feet on its platform and grasp it with both hands. There is no room for mugwumps either in );I?litics or religion.— D. C. Hanna, Methodist, Wilming- MASTERY OF . SELF. He who masters his own spirit 1s greater than he who taketh a city, and to conquer one’s self is the most difficult task of life. To be able to bear reviling and not revile in return; to take a blow without giving one back; to hear men say all manner of evil things against you falsely and to bless them; to know that men are plotting your downfall and to be able to. pru{ for them, is a high state of grace to which but few have attained. \\'ou%d you see an example of this complete mastery, behold the life of Jesus Christ. Being reviled, he reviled not again.—Rev. Richard Harcourt, Balti- more, Md. —_——— THE POWER OF WILL: The will is the primary force in the evo- lution of men. It is the seli-gonsciousness of life, as knowing himself.a thinker gives man the self-consciousness of reason. But life means energy, and energy manifests itself in willing, and so man s alive in pro- portion to his power to will, and his life iy great as his will is well regulated and decis- we. The so-called instinct of self-preser- vation which is basal in human affairs is simply man’s determination to live. This works in the soul of the primitive savage as it does in the lower animals. Tt brings the intellectual processes after it, because this savage by contrivance puts his action into better and wiser forms, and so bread- ens his living. All this is sub-conscious as the tiger ravens after prey because he is hungry, but not himself knowin, why. Atlast man arises into the realm o recognized desires which become teachers of his power to will, and a civilization is begun.—Rev. 8. G. Smith, 8t. Paul, Minn. e SPIRITUALISM. Only let us hope that the future of spir- itualism in this great country will awaken the latent forces of mind and soul and that it may lift into power the life of every man whose existence will, when the fitful cares of earth are ended, leave this world in a better condition temporarily and spir- itually than when he found it; that it will do away with bonnet shows at houses of God and peddlers of damnation as preach- ers, and every human organism will he- come a temple of the Lord, while all the world will be at ease in one universal brotherhood, and angels will dwell with us and visibly walk and talk with the whole human race.—Rev. Milton Redd, Spiritaalist, Baltimore, Md. P R MASONRY AND RELIGION. It is sometimes objected to Masonry that many of its members are unworthy men, which is doubtless true. We make no apology for unworthy men in Masonry, or in the church, or anywhere else. It is too true that unworthy persons are found in all good organizations, but it is one of the worst forms of wickedness to seek the name and protection of that which is good. Masonry owes all its beautiful and sublime lessons to Christianity, for Christianity exceeds it as the sunshine exceeds the moonlight—there is no conflict between them. The Christian man will be a better Mason because of his spiritual light, and the sincere Mason will soon see the need of the spiritual life to satisfy his soul.— Rev. Smith Bacon, East Boston, Mass. e TREACHERY. Tt is a common report that society asor- ganized now isa hollow pretense. Many have been wounded unto death by the treacherous word or deed of one who un- der the guise of friendship has dealt the deadly blow. In the political world the politicians sells his constituents for silver and the statesman betrays his country for gold. - Treachery enters into commercial life and s the unknown factor in the trans- actions of Wall street, of the trusts and on the Board of Trade. Innocence beguiled by treachery is the history of man in Eden, and since the fall of man it has been the most prolific cause of human woe. Treach- ery foiled in the wilderness is the history of Jesus in the supreme hour of his life. He was brought to the cross by the treach- ery of his disciple. 8o common is the sin that its victims excite but momentary pity, or are laughed at for their simplicity. Prac- ticed by Governments it is called diplo- macy; ‘;:rnctiud by the merchant it is called shrewdness. Its effects are every- where in life; it has hidden many of its victimsin the grave. Into the new earth treachery shall not enter. No treacherous liar will be there. Rev. C. W. Pool, Metho- dist, Butte, Mont. Japanese houses in the larger cities are of one general shape, two stories high, and put together by a curious method of mor- tising, at which these people are adepts, not one nail being used throuhhout:the construction of the building. ey UNPAID STOCK CALLED IN, The Order Finally Obeyed by the People’s Home Bank Directors. SUITS HAD BEEN THREATENED. What the Commilssioners and Safe Deposit Company Had in. Contemplation. The order of the Bank Commissioners commanding the board of directors of the People’s Home Savings Bank to call in all the unpaid capital stock has been com- plied with at last. President George D. Stone- called a spe- cial meeting of the directors early yester- day, at which the required action was taken. / Of the $1,000,000 capital stock of the bank, two-thirds yet remain unpaid, which means that $66 66 on each of the 10.000 shares of $100 supposed value is still due. The action of the directors yesterday makes this payable in a month’s time with the penalty of delinquency to follow. Several times an effort has been made to force the directors to take this action. The first move was made last July, when the California Safe Depost and Trust Company, as the assignee of between 2600 and 2700 depositors, whose claims aggregated some- thing like $72C 000, made a demand to this effect. The Safe Deposit and Trust Com- pany represents about half the bank’s ob- ligations to depositors. On_August 7 Johm W. Coileman, at a meeting of the directors, introduced a resolution for the calling in of all the un- paid stock. It was defeated by a vote of four to three, George D. Stone, George Davidson Jr., William H. Phelps and S. K. Thornton voting against it, and John W. Coleman, J. Johnson and T, 8. ‘Williams Jr. voting in its fayor. Next day the California Safe Deposit and Trust Company asked the Boérd of Bank Commissioners to make an order compelling the directors to notify the stockholders to pay up at once. Such an order was made by the Bank Commis- sioners on August 29, and on September 11 the directors met again and Mr. Coleman called their attention to the action of the Commissioners. He again introduced a resolution, supvosing the directors would comply with the order. Like the former one, it was defeated, Messrs. Stone, David- son, Phelps and Thornton voting 1t down as before, and Messrs. Coleman andyWil- liams voting for it. Mr. Johnson was ab- sent. Removal proceedings were threatened in censequence by the Safe Deposit and Trust Company through its attorneys, Messrs. Gunnison, Booth & Bartnett, against Directors Stone, Davidson, Phelps and Thornton and John F. Sheehan, the secre- tary and manager, and the complaints were already prepared and printed ana were to have geen served on the defend- ants yesterday. One proceeding was to have been brought by the Safe Deposit and Trust Company and another by the Bank Com- mission through Attorney-General Fitz- gerald. These would have been under section 11 of the “‘Bank Commissioners’ "’ act passed by the last Legislature. This section empowers the Commissioners to remove for cause, and fixes a $5000 fine and one year’s imprisonment as penalties for disobeying an order of the Commissioners. The Commissioners were to_have made a peremptory order of removal and if it was not heeded the courts would have been invoked. Thus twc separate causes of action from different sources, with the same end in view, were contemplated. That of the Safe Deposit and Trust Com- pany went much farther than the other and alleged criminal fraud and misman- agement, besides dereliction. The attorneys for the Safe Deposit and Trust Company say it was these intended proceedings which caused the directors to meet and act promptly yesterday. Director ‘Williams says the same thing, adding tbat Directors Stone and Thornton ‘“had to eat crow.” The resolution was introduced by Vice-President Thornton and was adopted without trouble, Messrs. Stone, Thornton, Coleman, Johnson and Williams being present. Speaking -of this matter ges- terday afternoon Director Williams said : ¢.Tt may result in a realization of $100,000 more cash, though I doubt if more than 1234 per cent of the capital stock is held by responsible men.” Tom Manager Sheehan’s figures the bank owes nearly $1,440,000 to its deposi- tors, with no ether liabilities. He con- siders the assets as problematic.” The two main items of the assets are the Pacific Bank building and the $220,000 worth of Consolidated Los Angeles Electric Rail- way bonds. The Pnci%c Bank building is valued at $165,000, though the highest offer made thus far for it has been $100.000, says General Sheehan. This property bas a frontage of 35:6 feet. At an estimated value of $4000 pet front foot it would figure up $142,000. The other assets consist mostly of farming lands in the southern part of the State, some of which may yet realize handsomely as a result of the build- ing of the Valley railroad. The complaint prepared by Attorneys Gunnison, }goo!h & Bartnett said some ugly things about Messrs. Stone, Thornton, Da- vidson, Phelps and Sheehan, the defend- ants named. Mr. Bartnett was disposed to speak very favorably of Mr. Davidson, whose father is a depositor to the extent of $10,000. He said he ‘‘could never under- stand how Mr. Davidson came to be tied up with the others,” but under the circum- stances he could not do otherwise than make him also a party defendant in the re- moval proceedings threatened. In the compiaint the foregoing as to the action of the directors in refusing to obey the Bank Commissioners’ order and the acts leading up to it are set forth in detail and with full particulars. But it went fur- ther than that. The transfers of 5146 shares—over half the stock of the bank— made during last January and February to T. Z. Hardee, were alleged to be with i tent to defraud the depositors, for the doc- ument charged that Hardee was an in- solvent. Manager Sheehan’s explanation of these transfers when seen later in_the day was that this was the Dr. Jenningson stock, and was practically worthless so long as Dr. Jenningson had possession. Jenning son, Sheehan says, was penniless, and be- sides, had never paid any money on it any- way. According to Sheehan the stock had been transferred by Richard McDonald Jr. on nothing more tangible than Jenning- son’s notes, and was ‘‘dummy stock.” The complaint also charged the directors with squandering the money of tiie bank by paying attorney’s fees to James Alva Watt, and large salaries to Manager Sheehan and his subordinates. The Spelling and Morrel ‘ransactions were also specified, and matters were gone over in minutiee and in such a way as would have made interesting reading for the defendants in the courts. First, it charged the directors named as defendants with dereliction in refusing to obey the or- der of the Bank Commissioners,willful d obedience, fraudulent acts and gross mis- management. Second, it alleged that the directors and Sheehan were not fit and ro)l)(er persons tc manage the affairs of the ank. The time limit fixed by the directors yes- terday for the payment of the unpaid §666,666 66 due on the stocks is gNovember 1. Notice will be given to the stockholders in one of the newspapers and any stock not said up by November 1isto be declared elinquent, and proceedings will be at once brought by the:bank’s attorney, John Flournoy, against the delinquent. Such, at least, is the programme settled upon up to date. Manager Sheehan’s explanation of the failure of the directors to comply previ- ously with the order of the Bank Commis- sioners was: “There was some controversy in the board of directors regarding the feasibility of calling in the unpaid stock. Some of the board contended that the time was not ripe. They were not sure that the bank would realize, inasmuch as the original stockholders had all gone out—the men who were responsible for the wrecking of the bank.” A ‘meeting of the depositors, Director Williams says, will be held next weex, probably on the 11th inst. _— He Kept the Money. Thomas Kelleher, a messenger-boy employed at Raphael's, 9 to 15 Kearny street, was brought from Stockton yesterday morning by Sergeant Moffett and booked at the City Prison for petty larceny. ' A few days ago he delivered a parcel at a house on which SZ% was to be col- lected. He got the money.and went to Stock- ton, where he was arreuet{ TO WEAK MEN. AN INTERESTING LETTER. “CUPID AND PSYCHE.” 8San Fraxcisco, Jan. 5, 1894, Dr. A. T. Sanden—Dear Sir: I have now filled out my report to you of the first month’s use of your Dr. Sanden’s Electric Belt. When I got this belt from you I thought it would be a mir- acle if it cured me. I was a wreck in body and mind, weak, suspicious, fearful and skeptical of everything, including myself. Now I hardly dare tell you how I am changed already,as it seems wonderful. Nearly all waste of power has stopped ; there is now hardly a sign of it left. The vigor that is prized so highly began returning in two weeks, and I can see it growing daily. Development has been pro- nounced, and I am more daring, firm and powerful, Ifeel as if I were many years younger ; clear-headed and stronger in mind and body. This appliance is a very grand thing as a med- ical agent, and I will not part with it at any cost. I am now cer- tain that I will soon be restored to manhood. You can address me as follows, JOHN WALLIN, Alma House, 218 Broadway, San Francisco. Men who have wasted the sprightly energy of youth in ex- cesses and fast living—men who have lost that mental ambition which belongs to vigorous and well-kept manhood at any age ; in short, men who have, by early habits and mistakes, and the later excesses and dissipations, weakened the foundation of sexital and mental vigor, and who are, while still young in years, wasted in the vital forces, short in'memory and dull in intellect, with the physical being shaky and devoid of endurance. To men who have spent the best of their lives in misery from wasted man- “UNDER THE WEATHER” Why People Feel This Way and That 1t Is Needless Clearly Shown. “Why is it that so many people feel ‘under the weather,’ have tired feelings and complain of chilly sensations at this time of the year?” Thisisa question thatis very easily answered. Pebple naturally feel weak and run down aiter the heat of summer because it thins the blood and lowers the vitality. The chilly weather of fall and early winter finds them unprepared to withstand the change of temperature,: and hence they suffer. This fact is plainly proved by the following opinions of some people’ who speak from practical experience : No. 903 Golden Gate ave., San Franciseo, Cal. “I have been using Duffy’s Pure Malt Whisky for some time, and it does ali that is claimed for it.
