Additional Force of Surgeons| Summoned to Care for the Injured. JURORS PLACING THE BLAME., Timbers Over the Stream Found to Have Been Weak—Story of a Survivor. | EUREKA, Carn, Sept. 14.—Until day- light this morning surgeons from Eureka and Arcata worked over the unfortunates who were injured in the railroad bridge disaster near Arcata yesterday. A num-| ber of wounded were taken to the Arcata | Sanitarium and others are being cared for at the homes of friends or relatives. At 10 o’clock last night the corps of physicians already in attendance was found to be in- adequate to promptly minister to the sui- ferers. Additional aid was procured from Eureka in Drs. Gross, McKinnon, Felt, | Sinclair and Wallace, | The number of dead is now five. They | are: Annie Holland, Ada Kirkham, | Brakeman Alexander Cameron and the two children of David Wood. Mrs. Gregori and child and Engineer George Burke are not expected to live through | the night. Many of those who appeared slightly burt last night are to-day con- fined to their beds. New maladies in- duced by internal injuries are developing continually. It is believed the list of dead will be increased to ten names. fio ‘At Korbel, the end of the line, prepara- tions were being made during the night to runa wrecking train. Bright and early this morning the wreckers arrived at the scene of the accident. It was their inten- | tion to prepare the track so that the | United States meil could pass. Nothin, ‘was done, however, until the Coroner ha finished the taking of testimony and in- | specting toe timbers of the bridge. Over | the perpendicular banks the wreckers made their way to the bed of the river, on the blood-stained rocks of which the debrisof the diminished train was heaped. Nothing remained intact; everything was | smashed into splinters. Louis Everding, manager of the River- side Mill and Lumber Company, was in- terviewed to-day at the scene of the dis- aster by a CALL representative. He was in the last car which crashed through the trestle to the rocky river bed, forty feet below, and came out of the wreck without a_scratch. When questioned concerning his miraculous escape, Mr. Everding said: “I attribute it to the cigar which I was smoking. It wasa long one, and I waited in the smoker to finish it, intending to enter the next car and chat with Miss Holland. We lived at the same station and were well acquainted. I had just risen from the seat when I heard a crack- ing noire. Then came a deafening roar, above which could be beard the shrieking | of terrified passengers. The cause of thei appaling din flashed through my mind | in an instant and I waited patiently for | theend. Itseemed Jike an age and my thoughts came thick and fast. Tome in those few seconds it was like being whirled through miies of space.”’ When asked his first thought after realiz- ing wbat bhappened, Everding answered: “I remember iv distinctly and it was this: That in case of my death I would leave my wife and child an insurance policy large enough to keep them from want.” Then my ideas became mixed. “When the train started downward,” he | resumed, “I was near the cardoor. Be- fore I knew anything more the saie usea by Wells, Fargo & Co. had wedged me | into a corner. Then what a noise! We had reached the rocks. I was hurled out of the open door and remained uncon- scious for a few seconds. The air was filled with dust and flying splinters. The dust cleared away and I got up. There were people around me in all positions, but no one moved. Then itcame to me that they were not all dead, but merely stunned. Broken timbers hanging to the bridge were vigorously swinging to and fro like pendulums. Every once in a while one would fall to the earth. “I called to know if all were dead, and heard cries for help. Then, with the as- sistance of Fireman Burke, whom I liber- ated from the wreck, I dia ail that I could to remove the dead and relieve the suffer- ing. The first body I saw was that of Misa Annie Holland. Death came to her instantly, for her neck was broken. If I had finished my cigar five seconds sooner I would certainly have been killed in the same manner.” Mr. Everding believed that the briage was safe enough, and that the engine must have jumped the track,as he had known four times the weight of the collapsed train to have passed over the bridge dur- ing the last week. Every one is loud in praise of Lou Ever- ding’'s bravery and perfect coolpess, Be- sides many wounded who were benefited by his timely aid, two persons were saved by him from certain death, They are .\{rs. Edward Minor and Henry Burke. The former was being strangled to death by a massive cross beam and Burke was being crushed under the debris. All of the train employes are either dead or in the samitarium at Arcata. Those who were interviewed were loth to express their opinion regarding the cause of the disaster, Engineer Burke, who is ex. pected to die form the effects of scalds re- ceived irom the bursting of the boiler, at- tributes the calamity to the weakness of the cross beams, some of which are much decayed. The crew which overated the ill- tated train was not the regular shift, but belonged to a logging train, the regular crews being relieved on Sunday. The revised list of the wounded, as learned from a visiting physician, is as follow Mrs. Edward Minor, daughter of Thomas Devlip, fusion candidate for the Assembly, fracture of the kneejoint and left arm broken. She is also suffering from scalp wounds. The Misses Vintera, nieces of Anton Korbel, one of the owners of the road, badly injured. Annie suffered a broken lag and Mary is in a critical condition from a broken rib and internal injuries. Dan Mahoney of Blue Lake, mfletln'g from a fractured rib. His young child’s jaw is broken. George Burke, the engineer, is horribly burned about the hips and is rapidly sink- mg. A sad case is that of the family of David Wood, the bookkeeper, at Glendale. He has a broken b _and gash on the head from ear to ear. His wile is snffering from a broken hip and a fractured pelvis bone. His youngest child is badly injured abont the head, and Sidney, a bright toree-year- old girl, cannot recover. . An Italian family named Gregori figures in another sad case. The mother hasa depressed fracture of the cranium, and her upper left arm is broken. She has been unconscious since the accident, and little hopes are entertained for her recovery. | man *97j Cotton "00. | be outdone by the men, and they too, have | {the railroad men averred that there was One child has a broken arm and the baby is s0 badly injured that it will die.

SAN JOSE, CaL., Sept. 14.—The trial of Harvey Allender on the charge of murder- ing Miss Wally Feilner began before Judge Lorigan this morning. On Sunday, August 9, Allender shot and killed Miss Feilner and Venanz Crossetti on North Third street while the couple were walk- ing together. Allender had been jilted by Miss Feilner. Attorneys Moorehouse and Kerwin ap- pear for the defendant. From questions put to talesmen the defense will undoubt- edly be insanity. The courtroom was crowded with spectators. The day was | occupied in selecting a jury, nine being secured. THE LETTER NOT A WILL. Decision Rendered in the Contest for the Meade Estate. SAN JOSE, CawL., Sept. 14.—Dr. Eutha- nasis S, Meade, a practicing physician of thiscity, died very suddenly some months ago leaving an estate valued ar over $20,000. No will could be found among her effects and her only known relative was a brother, Porter Sherman of Kansas City, Kans. Shortly after her death a mother of the deceased, Mrs. Patience Sherman of North Michigan, filed a peti- tion for letters of administration on her daughter’s estate. Subsequently a letter Mrs. Meade had left for W. L. Wood- row, an undertaker, giving directions for the cremation of her body, was filed for probate as the last will and testament of the dececeased by Public Administrator Secord. . In the letter Mrs. Meade stated that the only one she cared to have advised of her death was her brother, Porter Sherman of Kansas City, Kans. The last paragraph of the letter, and by which it was claimed the document was her last will, is as fol- lows: My brother, Porter Sherman, will take charge of my estate and be the sole administrator without bonds, to trade, sell or occupy, as may seem to him fit. Judge Reynolds this morning rendered adecision in the matter, sustaining the demurrer filed by Mrs. Patience Sherman to the petition of the Public Administra- tor, and dismissed the petition. The court held there was no word which could be applied to make the letter a wiil such as the law reguires, and being so materially deficient it could not be recognized as a witl. An appeal will probably be taken to the Supreme Court. fascd TR Failure of a Grocer. SAN JOSE, CaL., Sept. 14.—Denis Cork- ery, a grocer at the corner of Pleasant and Banta Olara streets, to-day filed a petition in insolvency. His liabilities amount to $39,000. The assets are placed at $43,000 and include the lot and building at Santa Olara and Pleasant streets, valued at ,000. The property is subject 10 a mortgage of §11,000. bl et VISIT LAKE TAHOE. Southern Pacific Railroad OUfficials Be- come Interested in Ncemery. TALLAC, LaAke TanoE, Cal., Sept. 14. — A railroad party, consisting of Charles F. Crocker, H. E. Huntington. J. Krutt- schnitt, Jerome Hart, C. B. Alexander of New York and J. B. Wright, arrived at Tallac yesterday, via Placerville, and re- mained until to-day. They report the route from Placerville as one of scenic grandeur—one which should be exten- sively traveled. Of the lake they say that itis the frundm vlace in the world and the ideal summer resort of the coast. When interviewed as to the proposed railroad between Truckee e and Tahoe City absolutely no truth in the report, and that while it might be constructed in the future, it would rot be for several years. The party left Tallac on the steamer Me- teor to-day and went around the lake, visiting all points ofinterest. Shortly be- fore 1beir departure they were joined by W. F. Herrin and Hall iicAllmer. road attorneys.

SUNDAY TRAVEL BARRED Riding on Bicycles or Trains on the Sabbath Declared Ungodly. APPOINTMENTS ARE DELAYED Adjournment Postponed Until the Assignments to Pastorates Are Made. PACIFIC GROVE, CaL., Sept. 14.—The Methodist Conference opened with prayer this morning, Bishop Foss presiding. A heavy day’s business was transacted, morning, afternoon and evening sessions being held. Rev. August Patterson, whose present whereabouts seems to be unknown, was reported as not having located in com- pliance with the instructions of last year’s California conference, and it was again ordered that he locate or be put on trial next year for unacceptability. To locate a minister means to change him from a regular to a local preacher. Rev. J. E. Bailey was also requested to locate. Rev. W. P. 8. Duncan was withdrawn from the ministry and membership in the confer- ence. Heissuffering from a malady which unfits him for work. Rev. N. R. Peck, a superannuated minister, said he had an- swered to his name at the first rollcall for forty annual conferences, and that it was very hard to be a superannuate and un- able to preach for the Lord. Rev. M. C. Briggs offered to the minis- ters for circulation petitions for the passage of a Bible law. The conference requested the Bishop to appointhim field secretary of the State Sabbath Association. Rev. J. E.Wickes of Richland, who became insane during the year from overwork, and Rev. John Appleton, were placed on the superannuated list. The conference next year will be held at Pacific Grove. The committee of Lay Association dele- gates, Mrs, C. C. Lombard, Mrs, William Abbott and Mrs, Dr. Cronemiller, was re- ived by the conference, Mrs. Cronemiller ng an address. Inreply, Bishop Foss said that the reception of lay delegates into the general conference would greatly augment the work of the church. This was appiauded. “I want to say to laymen,” said ibe Bishop, ‘‘you can never get this reform with vour fists doubled up. We have al- together too many voting in this country now who cannot read. [Applause.] 1 want to see equal lay and ministerial rep- resentation, [Applause.] You ought to welcome all pastors wheiher you preferred them first or not. You must remember that ministers surrender their rightto choose appointments and you must sar- render your right to choose, or else the system cannot survive.” The conference trustees appointed are: Revs. Wesley Dennett, H. E Heacock, J. D. Hammond, E. R. Dille, F. D, Bovard, Robert Bentley, T. B, Hookins, W. W. Case and W. 8. Urmy. A resolution commending Rev. W. R. Goodwin of California-street Metnodist Church, San Francisco, to the fellowship of the Southern California Conference was | adopted. A collection for Miss Doniu Winnine for services as conference organ- ist netted $15 20. Rev. ¥, F. Jewell presided at the after- noon session, the Bishop and his cabinet being engaged in fixing appointments. Chaplain_Macomber, U. S. A., of Angel Island, offered the opening prayer. The committee on Bible cause recom- mended increased zeal in the circulation of Bibles and indorsed the American Bible Society. The committee on Chinese mis- sions reported a year of hard work and spiritual progress, Progress was also re- ported by the committee on church exten- sion. Conference and State league con- ventions during the conference year wers recommended by the committee on Ep- worth League, which reported that the young people of the California conference were, almost without exception, enrolling tbemselves under the Epworth League banner. The new officers of the Confer- ence League are: President, F. D. Bovard; vice-presidents—Napa, L. J. Norton; Sac- ramento, George D. Kellogg; San Frau- cisco, H. E. Snook; Oakland, A. W. Bene- dict; tinancial secretary, G. W. Beatty. The commiitee on evangeiist work re- rted the recommendations that a con- y:rsnca evangelist be not appointed, as there were minislers in the conference ‘who could do the work. The freedmen’s aid and southern edu- cation Committee recommended that a whole day of the conference ought to be given to that cause. It reported 9000 stu- dents and expressed a need for more money to carry on the work. The report stated that $42,000 would not be too much. Progress was reported in Japanese mis- sion work. The committee on missionary society urged more collections and a wider distri- bution of missionary literature. Rev. E. R. Dille of the committee on Fred Finch Orphanage reported a pros- perous year; 117 inmates, 500 admissions of orphans during the five years the or- phanage has been open, the need of a kin- dergarten, accommodations for & total of 140 children, cash on hand September 1 inst. $2908 07, and recommended the av- pointment of an orphanage committee in each conference charge. Rev. Robert Bentley, president of the orphanage, ad- dressed the conference and said the or- phanage needed money. A lively debate followed the report of the committee on Sabbath observance, condemning railroad and bicycle riding on Bunday, the newspapers and every- thing else that was regarded as desecratin the Sabbath, Rev. Wesley Dennett ulleg attention to the fact with emphasis that gmidlug elders ride on railroad trains on unday, and said the conference would stultify itself by adopting the report. Dr. M. D. Buck spoke earnestly against Sun- day travel. This brought Rev. Alfred Kummer of Oakland to his feet. He saia that a portion af the report was *‘an at- tempt to legisiate for the individual con- science,’”” and he was opposed to that. He moved to strike out that part of the report which unqualifiedly condemned Sunday travel. Rev. Dr. Dille said that the use of street- cars and other public conveyances on Sun- day was proper; if not, where would Dr. Case's Howard-street Church and Central Church be? Rev. Dr. Case arose and said he would rather that the Howard-street Church went into the ground and the Cen- tral Church went ont and all streetcars be abandoned than break down the Sunday laws. The debate ended in the adoption of the original report. The Sunday-school Union committee re- ported an .ml‘fi‘ attendance at Sunday- schools of the United States during the year of 1,683,523, Six hundred and forty- six new schools were organized and thou- sands of converts made during the year. t annual confer- ence give a half day or an evening to con- sideration of Sunday-schoo! work. Metlio- dist peooie were also recommended to patronize the book concern. The temperance committee, by Rev. J. W. Simmons, in_its report called all per- s0Nns enflg&d in liquor traffic criminals. Dr. J. K. McLean, representing the Congregational Association, arrived to-day to prevent the proposition of interdenom- inational comity to the conference. The committee ta whom the matter was re- ferred reported at the evening session against co-operation on the interdenomi- national plan, on the ground that it was against the genius .ns comity of the ethodist church. A vigorous, broad- gauge speech was delivered by Rev. E. P. Dennett, who moved that a committee be appointed to take the matter under delib- erate consideration and report at the next conference. On motion of Rev. Dr. Fil- ben, the presiding elders were instructed to oppoint a standing committee of five for this purpose. Some cogs have slipped in the matter of appointments. Bishop Foss sent word to the conference about 5 o’clock this after- noon that ke would not announce the ap- pointments to-day. This meant that con- ference would have to adjourn till to-mor- row. An extra day’s session is something that has not been had before in vears. The Ladies’ Aid, Mrs. Rev. M. D. Buck presiding, held a meeting in the forenoon and decided to ask for a place on next year's conference programme, and Mrs. William Abbott and Mrs. C. J. Hardy were appointed a committee on constitu- tion and by-laws to report at the nexi an- nual meeting. Chairman G. W. Beatty’s report of the committee on statistics shows: Number on probation, 2300; members in full, 17,000; total membership, 19,300; number of Sun- day-schools, 264; membership of schools, | 24,386; library books, 21,000; paid on build- ing and improvements, $36,000; paid on old indebtedness, $15,000; paid in salaries. $132,500. The membership and Sunday- schools show an increase, but the benevo- lent collections and salaries show a de- crease. BODEGA’S CELEBRATION, Swiss Residents of Sonoma Will Observe Their National Holiday. SANTA ROSA, Car, Sept. 14.—The six hundred and fifth anniversary of Swiss Independence will be celebrated in grand style by hundreds of Swiss people at the town of Bodega, near this sity, to-morrow. Elaborate preparations have been made |and all kinds of amusements arranged for. A band from San Francisco will be in attendance to supply music for dancing on a large platform that has been erected in the oper air. George Adami will be president of the day. Hon. KFrank J. Murphy of Santa Rosa will deliver an oration in_English, and Dr. Henry J. Bartori of San Francisco will speak in Italian. J. Sudalott: will marshal the parade, assistea by a corps of aids. There has been a general exodus of Swiss residents in different parts of the county to the scene of the festivities. AN KTTORNEYS DISGRACE George Hayford Is Held to An- swer for Felony Embez- zlement. George Hayford, an attorney, was yes- terday held to answer before the Superior Court by Judge Conlan on the charge of felony embezzlement, and his bonds were fixed at $3000. Hayford was arrested about two weeks ago on complaint of Mrs. Susan Cunning- ham, a poor widow, who lives on Bryant street. He made representations to Judge Daingerfield, who released him on his own recognizance. Since then several continuances were granted, but the case came up for examination yesterday. The evidence Jdor the prosecution showed that Mrs. Cunningham owned a lot on Gilbert street, which was mort- gaged to Michael Curran. The mortgage became overdue, and Attorneys Curran and Franceur were about to institute | foreclosure proceedings, when, through Attorney Hayford, who had been em- ployed by Mrs. Cunninghbam, a compro- mise was effected by which she executed to the mortgagor a deed to tbe property 1n consideration of the sum of $125. Hayford on August 25 receivea from Curran and Francoeur the $125 and $10 as his fee, and gave them a receipt for the $135. Mrs. Cunaingham made repeated demands for the money, but only received $5, and finally, she said, Hayford ad- mitted that the balance had passed out of his hands. He had deposited the money to his personal account, and the bank, he said, had taken possession of it to satisfy a note which he had indorsed. After the evidence for the prosecution was in Hayford asked for a continuance till Thursday to enable him to subpena his witnesses. The Judge replied that he bad had two weeks already to procure his witnesses, and he should have had them present. He refused to grant a continu- ance, Hayford offered no defense, and the Judge in holding him to answer talked to him plainly but forcibly. He told him there was no possible excuse for his con- duct, and the Bar Association should take up his case and purge his name from the roll of membership, as well as others who disgraced the profession. He felt sorry that 1t should devolve upon him to bold a member of the bar to answer to a charge of felony, but he had to do his duty. Haytord was unable to procure bonds and was sent to the County Jail. CARE FOR THE FORESTS: The Wanton Destruction That Pro‘essor Brewer Has Seen in Some Places. Professor William H. Brewer, for whom Mount Brewer was named, and who ex- plored many of the high mountains of California while in charge of a division of the United States Geological Survey in the early sixties, will leave for his home at New Haven, Conn., to-day. The dis- tinguished gentleman has for many years been professor of agriculture at Yale, He feels that he can take no more time to ex- smine into the forests of the West and Pacific Coast as a member of the United States Forestry Commission.- Yesterday he visited the site of Golden Gate Park. It was the first time he had been there in thirty-two years. There was no park then, only a waste of shifting sand. It was so unpromising a site and so remote from the then City that he rec- ommended the university be not estab- lished there. There were no roads then, no means of communication. The sand dunes were windswept and desolate be- yond words. All this tne professor told at the Palace last evening. But when he went there yesterday be was surprised be- yond measure at tie beauty of the place. *‘I regard it as one of the most wonder- ful parks in tbe world," he said. “The variety of the trees and shrubs and the beauty of its turf was little less thana revelation. It used to be supposed no gnus could be raised there. When I first ad to do with the park there was a board fence put around a part of it, and the sand blew arouna it and covered it from view. The Golden Gate Park is a place of excced- ing interest to me.

L. SWEANY, Hills, the forests of Montana, Idaho, Eastern Washington, the Blue Mountains, on, ount the Cascades in Oregon and Washin the Olympics, and finally the Shasta and other regions in California. “I suppose there is no man in California who has personall of the State as I seen more or as much thing near 4000 miles, and also rode on horseback and muleback over 10,000 miles more. “I want to say a word about Mount Shasta. When we were there recently, Jooking about for several days, we found the region greatly denuded of its trees that once added so much to its beanty. We counted thirty mills about there that had used this timber. Everywhere great waste was shown. Lands bad been made worthless for future use, and some of it had reverted to the Government because the taxes were unpaid. - *‘I notice the same thing has occurred in other parts of the State. The water sup- ply has, because of the ruthless destruc- tion of the trees, been reduced 40 per cent, while the general damage is much greater. Lands that was once fertile in the little valleys and produced crops are now dry and deserted. “And, as in the case of Mount Shasta, much of the beauty as a resort has been destroyed. Had the forests been pre- served tourists would go there in large numbers each year and they would be a constant source of revenue. Californians should wake up and take care of their forests.”” — AFRO-AMERIN LEAGLE A Rousing Mass-Meeting Held in the Auditorium Last Night. The Political Situation Reviewed by Speakers of the Colored and White Races. The Auditorium was crowded to the doors last evening, the occasion being a Republican mass-meeting, held under the auspices of the Afro-American Republi- can League. Not only were the colored citizens and their wives and daughters there, but hundreds of patriotic Republi- cans of all classes were present. On the stage were many members of the league. Miss Minnie Scott, president of the Women’s Afro-American League, and many of her lady associates were present as vice-presidents, while interspersed among them were Mrs. Addie L. Ballou and other ladies of the Women’s State Republican Club. . B. Morton presided, and after extend- ing a hearty welcome said : As Afro-Americans we have not forgotten the historical events which carry us back in grateful remembrance of the heroic deeds of the Republican party during the great rebel- llon. From out of the smoke and turmoil of hundreds of battles there looms up before us in this quiet hour of peace that tall form of one of the world’s greatest heroes. His right arm is extended, and with a most | kindly countenance he points to the emanci- Yl(ion proclamation, which strikes the galling etters of slavery from millions of human beings. As the vision fades from sight a banzer is unlurles, not of any strange device, but the symbol of a Nation’s grandeur and glory. Rey. H. J. Callis was presented and de- livered an lnlere:t‘mg address, touching upon the allegiance the colored race owe to the Republican party. He spoke of home industries and the fact that in some parts of the United States the workshops are closed to the negro. He said that the country owes to the negro the chance to wor W. E. Henderson was introduced as the silver-tongued orator of Southern Cali- fornia, and he did justice to the title in his comparison of the records of the two great political parties and a discussion of the silver question.
