An accident which may terminate seri- usly occurred shortly after noon yester- | day to a young woman named Arcy at the Baldwin Hotel. The young woman had | come from a Third-strect employment office to act as a servant to the family of Secretary Price of ex-Senator Felton’s oil company. The elevator had ascended, but the doors below were not wholly closed, and it seems the girl, who was apparently unused to elevators, pushed them further open and walked in. When the elevator came down it struck her, bending her down and hurting her back. Dr. Noble, wiiose office is in the Columbia Theater building opposite, was at once called and examined her wounds. Her back was black and blue, according to the doctor, and he said her spine migh%be injured, but he thought, he said, that in a couple of days she would be so improved as to be able to resume her usual duties. Mr. Stanton, one of the proprietors of the hotel, said the woman would have been hurt much more sericusly if the elevator-boy had not noticed the open doors and " stop the elevator. er wounds he considered slight. He said the woman had been able to reach her home after the accident. An invention provides for pneumatic seats in railway carriages.

The promoters, | | Messrs. Dr. and Stratton, decline abso- | lately to have anything further to do with | it. The news was a great surprise to those who had become interested in the road and they are now wondering what has ‘,caused the sudden change of heart, or whether the talk of the road was simply a | | ruse of the Southern Pacific Company to | find out how much support a competing | | road could depend npon. | Several months ago J. C. Simonds of | | Chicago appeared in Oakland loaded down | with credentials from Eastern capitalists who were anxious to build a road from Oakland to Stockton and from Stockton to Bakersfield. Mr. Simonds, | who called bimself Judge, produced a contract that explained clearly the terms upon which the road | would bte built. This contract isalong | dccument and L.as been carefully guarded. | To-day it was zeen by Tur CALL'S repre- | | sentative and found to contain many in- teresting paracraphs. Messrs. Dralie and Stratton agreed to build the road if there could be found | enough merchants to give the necessary guarantee that the following articles of the agreement would be carried out. These ar- ticles are: To obtain a charter and to organize a com- any whose capital stock was not to exceed $10,000,000. | To supply final surveys and to secure termi- | nals, depot sites end to obtain as much free grading as possible from those whose jand would be traversed by the road. | To guarantee the payment of the interest on !Ah‘:r(hu:xds &t 5 per cent for a period of five | e guarantee that a majority of the shippers | on the Fropused route should patronize the | new road. To agree that the bonds should not be sold | | for less that 80 cents on the dollar. In consideration of these guarantees the | | buitders were to thoroughly equip the | | road and to be paid from the proceeds of | | the bonds. It was also stipulated that a horizontal cut of 30 per cent below exist- ing Southern Pacific rates should be charged, and should the Southern Pacific reduce their rates the patrons of the new road were to receive the benefit of the cut The road was not to be bonded for more | than $20,000 a mile, and the head office | of the road was to be at Stockton. | " Judge J. C. Simonds’ partners were E. C. Kemble and Henry P. Daly, all of | Chicago. Their attornéys, who drew up | the contract, are King & Shaw of San | Francisco. he matter wus submitted to business men all along the route and met with considerable support. In fact, the promoters did such good work that they | were avle to inform the New York end of | the combine that with some changes there | | was support enough promised to justify | the building of the road. One of the chances from the original proposition was i abandon the proposed road from Stockton to Bakersfield, as the | Vailey road would do the largest share of | the business on that route. Another im- | portant point demanded by the local mer- | chants was, that the ferry -gslcm be built first, and that it be considered a part of | the road. The head office was also to be | changed from Stockton to Oakland. Still | another change was, that the proposed | | branch to Bakersfield being abolishied, the builders should construct a branch north- ward. Ail these changes from the original | proposition were submitted to New York, and on October 3 Judge Simonds received | a reply stating that all was perfectly agree- | | able with the exception of the building of | the northern branch, and as the builders | | knew nothing of values in that section it | could not be entertained. The merchants | | then asked that the modifications be con- | | firmed and the reply came by dispatch to | | President Keller of the Oakland Board of | | Trade that all was clear sailing and that |:he1 Oskland and Stockton road would be | | built. | This was about two weeks ago and noth- 1 | ing more was heard of the matter till the | remarkable letter of yesterday, in which | was announced the sudden determination | | of the promoters to call all negotiations off. | The informaticn was sent thot they *“had | { abandoned the project and that they never had any intention of constructing the road.” 'An excuse was offered that rail- road bonds were not selling well just now, and what was th()thz to be a genuine | | proposition has faded away. | | Now the merchants want to know the meaning of it all. “‘There has been duplicity somewhere.” said President Keller to-night, “‘but what the object of it is cannot well be told just | now. If the promoters never intended to | build the road, as they say, then why did they send a man from Chicago and keep | him here several months interesting mer- chants? If they did intend to build, and 1 believe they did, then some influence | must have been brought to bear on them to induce them to withdraw. The whole thing is a mystery, and I expect to know more about it in a few days. Idonot | know what support they received, as [ was merely approached as president of the ! Board of Trade, but the men who were in- terestea are loud in their denunciation of | the scheme, and are anxious to know what it all means.” | (CROWLEF AT HAYWARDS, The Hunted Bandit Robs a Gun- store and Visits His Cabin. Deputy Sheriff Lane Tells About the Pursuit—Expects News in the' Morning. 0AxLAND OrricE SAN Fraxcrsco CALL,) 908 Broadway, Nov. 19. Patrick Crowley, the escaped cobviet, who was living in a cabin and who rushed out while the officers were searching for stolen property, was still at large this evening. Crowley is now desperate, ashis actions last night prove. He visited Huy- wards, broke into a gunstore, armed him- self and then departed. That the burglar was Crowley is proved by a man who after- ward saw the bandit with the stolen arms | in his possession. Early this morning George Young, a man who lives right opposite the cabin formerly occupied by Crowley, was awakened by the bandit, who demanded food. Young supplied him, and as day- light was breaking Crowley went to his old cabin, kicked in the door, brought out a | insane | get near him. | mar] shovel and dug up some buried treasure. Then he departed, after tclling his neigh- bor that he was not at all frizhtened at the officers who were seeking him. When Crowley visited his cabin he told Young that he was going to leave the State, and that if they did not soon catch him their chances would be slim. Wnen Crowley called up Young he was carrying the double-barreled shotgun stolen from Allen’s store during the night. Deputy Sheriff White of this county and Deputy Sheriff Ross Jones of Contra Costa County and Marshal Ramage of Hay- ards, re-enforced by about ten others, are all in 'pursuit of Crowley. All are armed, and there will_probably be bioodshed be- fore Crowley is captured. He was in an um when he escaped, and is a man with a very wild nature.” Now tbat he is armed it is very evident that he will not submit to arrest without a fierce conflict. Late last night the posse came up with Crowley in Palomares Canyon and several shots were fired at him. "He fell on his knees and crawled into the brush and made his way to his cabin while twelve men hunted him in the canyon. He was not struck by any of the bullets and he told his neighbor this morning that the of- ficers were so badly frightened that they could not have hit the side of a house. Chief Jailer Lane returned at about 8 o’clock to-night from Haywards. He said | he felt that the officers were dealing with a sharp criminal. “The idea of the fellow doubling on us and going into Haywards last night to se- cure arms shows he is desperate, and will not hesitate to take human life. I believe he will be a second Evans, and that it will pe a long and bara hunt before he is cap- tured. He only needs food and he can get that by demanding it of the ranchers. ““The country is rough and he has a fine opportunity to hide in the canyons. Sev- eral of our men saw him’ yesterday out on high ll)}laces, but could not e was at Dobbles ranch last night when Marshal Ramage and Sheriff Ross Jones drove in there, but heard them in time to make a dash for liberty, As Jones shot he fell, but was up ana off at_once. In going over a fence after him Jones injured his leg and did not get a chance to follow the fugitive up. He has not been seen to-day, but some one will report in the morning that he has been around for something to eat. “All we can do after dark isto watch the houses, so that if he comes to demand food we can get him. He told a man last night that he met he had been shot at a couple of times, but was uninjured. I be- lieve he may make off for some other sec- tion of the country where he is not known so wall. 1f we do not hear from nim by 10 o’clock in the morning it will show he has left for new fields.” PURE MILK AN ENT Officials Anxious to In- sure Both. At Present They Are Condemned and Afterward Exposed for Human Food. OAKLAND OFFICE, 903 2 0 CaLL,] adway, Nov. 19. | The selling of diseased meat and the supplying of impure milk have aroused all the sanitary district officials in Ala- meda County, and Monday next they will go before the Supervisors and ask that their powers be largely ircreased. At present the various health officers and sanitary inspectors have only the vower to condempn a cow that is diseased and order it remaved from the rest of the herd, but they cannot destroy it. The porwer to kill and destroy is what iney ask, and what they claim, is imperative if the consumers are to be protected. The same authority will be sought in regard to glan- derous horses. For a long time the efforts of the inspec- tors to stamp out diseased animals have been thwarted in various ways. In some instances the cows have been removed from one dairy to another, and frequently after the diseased cows have been slaught- ered the carcasses have been sold to un- principled butchers and placed on the market as food. In one instance a glanderous horse Wwas known to be taken out to a chicken ranch and there chopped up and fed to the stock that was being fattened for the market. Inspector Pierce of this city has recently made several arrests of butchers offering for sale meat unfit for human consump- tion, and in two cases the carcasses were de: ed to be those of diseased cows that had been condemned by Health Inspector Carpenter of Alameda. “Ali the intluence that can possibly be brought to bear on the Supervisors,” said Dr. Carpenter to-day, “will be brought to induce tkem to pass an ordinance that shall protect everybody. At present we condemn a cow and o-der it to be taken from the herd and it is driven away to some secluded spot and slaughtered for :t. We must have the power to de- stroy all diseased cattle, and the county hould provide for some small compensa- ion for the owner. The danger of selling milk that is not up to the standard as re- | gards cream s as nothing to the danger that exists from milking cows that are suf- fering from tuberculosis. Dr. McLean, Health Officer of Alameda, is working with us and there 1s every prospect that our efforts will be rewarded. “In Alameda every cow is inspected twice a year, and if there is any evidence of tuberculosis the animal is at once ordered away. But if it is going to be eaten as meat I do not see what is to be gained. Itis of far more 1mportance to inspect the cows than to sample the milk. All dairies in the country should be in- spected every six months, and that is what we are working for.” Supervisor Talbott is «the larzest dairy- owner in the county, and he has alread said that he would do anything in his power to help the veterinary inspectors in their campaign. CONTRACTS ARE AWARDED. Bids Opened for Furnishing Supplies for the New City Hall. ALAMEDA, CaL., Nov. 19.—At the meeting of the Trustees last night all the members were present. A warrant for $5000 was ordered drawn in favor of Thomas Day & Son, being the fourth pay- ment on the new City Hall. The sum of $500 was appropriated from the general | fund to the Board of Health fund. Trustee Leydecker recommended the appointment of a board of trustees of the Exempt Firemen’s relief fund, and each member of the board made an appoint- ment as follows: Trustee Leydecker, W. F. Schulte; Trustee Hammond, J. N. Beckmann; Trustee Fletter, J. F. Ives; Trustee Clark, Henry Muller; President Forderer, P. W. Barton. The trustees will enter upon their duties December 1 and will hold office for four years. The sum of $500 was appropriated from the general fund to the relief fund. Bids were opened and contracts were awarded for farnishing portions of the new City Hall. For the metallic furniture in toe City Clerk’s veult, the contract was awarded to the Office Specialty Manufac- turing Company, whose bid was $290 18. The same company was awarded the co: tract for the Treasurer's vault. The Fen- ton Metallic Company received the award for the furniture of the Chief of Police oftice. The C. F. Weber Company got the contract to furnish reilings, counters, desks, etc., the total bid being $1008:15. The matter of furnishing the Recorder’s court, the City Marshal’s and other rooms went over for one week. A Stated Account. City Recorder St.Sure to-day rendered judgment in favor of the plaintiff in the case of L. C. Phelps, assignee of Herman Scholten, against Mrs. B. Wittich. Scholten, who is a contractor, built a | house for the lady. For some extra work he put in a claim of $150, afterward de- ducting $10 from it. Mrs. Wittich refused to pay, hence the suit with a favorable de- cision for the piaintiff. The learned Re- corder dwelt at length on what constitutes a stated account, and quoted a number of authorities to show that such an account need not be in writing. Library Injunction. Judge Greene vesterday heard the matter of the injunction issued some time ago to restrain George Jensen, J. R. Knowland and Robert Husband from interfering with the management of the public library. The hearing was on a motion of counsel for defense to dissolve the injune- tion. Attorney Goodwin represented the interests of the defendants, none of whom appeared in court. The Public Library. The public library will not go into the room designed for it in the new City Hall. Messrs. Brick, Lutgen, Mastick and Ma- gill, four of the trustees, reached this de- cision at last night’s meeting. The library will remain where it is and the petition of the Park-street merchants not to move the k is heartily been granted.

There Will Be No Night School, Evangelical Ministers to Meet. “Josh” Out Again. BERKELEY, CaL.,, Nov. 19.—There is every indication of a hot legal contest be- tween the town of Berkeley and the Elec- tric Lighting Company over the Trustees’ interpretation of the town’s contract for lighting. At the last meeting of the Board of Trustees a report of the light committee was adopted calling for twenty more arc lights to be placed on the streets of the town, the poles required therefor to be provided by the lighting company and the lines also to be extended by the company. In response toa question Town Attor- ney Hayne stated that he believed that under the existing conditions the town could force the company to make the de- sired extensions. It is this interpretation of the contract to which the company enters an objection. The directors of the company held a meeting last night and decided not to place the poles nor extend their lines. No Night School. The night school propositien went by the board at a meeting of the School Direc- tors last evening. The Finance Committee reported $1000 available over expenses already contracted, but advised that the amount be used for the employment of another teacher for the daytime in North Berkeley. The board adopted a resolution delegating the Committee on Schoolhonses and Sites to report as to the cost of fitting up the lower room of the Rose-street School and to se- cure bids for the work. Tha following resolution was passed: Resolved, That mon-resident pupils whose parents or legal guardians own real estate within the corporate limits of the town of Berkeley shall be allowed for each $300 of assessed value of such property a rebate of 10 per cent from the regular tuition fee for the grade to which the pupil belongs. Cornerstone to Be Laid, The cornerstone of the new $20,000 Pres- hyterian church, now under process of con- siruction at the corner of Ellsworth street and Allston way, will be laid at 10 o’clock on Thanksgiving day. President Martin Kellogg and Dr. Joseph Le Conte of the University of California have been asked 10 be present and deliver short addresses. Ministers Will Meet. A meeting of the evangelical ministers of Berkeley for the consideration of mat- ters of mutual interest will be held in the study of Trinity Methodist Church to-mor- row afternoon at 5 o’clock. Josh Came Out. Josh, the university funny paper, which recently caused the military department and faculty to boil over, came out again this afternoon. It was essentially a foot- ball edition and kept well within the bounds prescribed by the professors. —————————————————————— “For years I had suf- fered from falling of the womb, inflammation of the stomach, and weakness of the female organs. “T used Lydia E.

Another man who had a_narrow escapa was G. G, Wickson, who sells typewriters to both the Government’s and the defend- ing connsel. Mr. Campbell ssked him if, he would be willing to be tried by a jury of men in the same frame of mind as himself. Mr. Wicksen replied that he could not be tried by a_jury of men less prejudiced than himself. Mr. Campbell pressed: the point until Judge Morrow was led to re- mark that, after all, most men would pre- fer not to be tried at all. “I would want to be tried,” spoke up Mr. Camphell. ‘Well, you are an exceptional person,” said the court. ‘Itis true that innccent men are sometimes accused, but they would prefer not to be tried, I imagine.” Now Mr. Campbell arose to the full dignity of the occasion. ‘‘And some inno- cent men charged with crimefi' ' said he, Koiming to the innocent Mr. Howell be- ind him, “would prefer to be tried and vindicated !

Bacon’s Lecture to the Unity Club. *“When you leave the church you will probably think yoas are going in some particular direction, doubtless to your re- spective homes. The truth is you are going in an unascertainable direction atan inconcejvable rate of speed, and, indeed, you cannot be sure you are going any=- where,” s2id Professor T. R. Bacon in the course of his lecture on “The Ignorance of Man" at the Second Unitarian Church last evening. His claim was that people were gov- erned by impressions which, received through the senses as they are, are incom- plete, therefore erroneous, and that lives are spent in correcting those impressions through experience. “Trusting to ur_sense of sight you would conclude,” said he, “that the rails finally come together. Experience has taught you that this is not true. Again the impressions received through one of the senses may be proven far from correct by the others. For instance, the universe is to the blind man different from the conception we nave gained of it. It is not to the man full possession of the five senses what it is to the man who has control of but three, ard the man in whom the sixth sense may be highly developed regards it from yet another peint of view. “We know nothing about things in their essential nature, only as they are in rela- tion to ourselves. Yet mere knowledge by relativity is not invalidated, nor is it use- less. Still it is not true. *For myseif,” the speaker continued, *“I velieve in idealism, because it appeals to my emotions and imagination, and that is the only reason for belief in many theo- ries. “‘There is a great deal of nonsense in the alleged search after truth. and we don't know a quarter we think we do.” n NEW TO-DAY.
