A DOUBLEDICKERS WAY Cause of Terror and Fun, He | | The Lone Passenger on the -Roof Had to Do Monkey's Tricks. 1ce San Fraxcisco CALL,) 408 Brosdway, Nov. 16. § A caron the Laundry Farm road jumped the track this afternoon and ran ncarly 100 feet before it was checke!l. The car was a large double-decker, and after leav- | ing the rails it rocked heavily from sidet ‘ side and the passengers prepared to Jand | on top in case it should turn over. I In the csr were Mrs. Runsseli of. the Ch ldren’s Home and her littie daughter, and they were thankful they escaped | alive. Asib looked back, after getting | out of the car, they saw that they hac | only been saved by Lwo fest. ~Had tne car leit the track two feet he- fore it did,” said Mrs. Russe!, “we should 0OaxLAND OF have been dashed down a irestie. Just behicd where ths wheels jumped the rails there is a little bridge acro-s the road, and had we zon« off there we snould certainly have been kilied. As the ocar ran.along the road 1t rolled over io one side, and we were rreparing to adjust ourse ves so that we should be on our feet woen the car landed on its side. Sud- denly it wobbled the otner way, and so 1t went till it stopped.” Tragic as the accident might have been there was a humorous side (o it. It wasa double-deck car and on top of it was a solitary gentieman who wore a silk tile, He was well advanced in years and he seemed 10 have a great regar. for his tile. His actions showed that he cared about equally for his hat ard hislife. He hay one hand for each. Wuen the car jumped «ff the track the solitary passenger on the roof jumped «ff his seat. When the car heeled over to port the passenger ciam- bered with one hanu over to starboard and with the other he neld on to his hat. As the car reversed so did the man, and for what seeme . a long time the passen- ger did the monkey act 1o perfection. A double-deck car has what saiors call 100 much top hamper. Iidoes not cut any figure when running before the win 1, oron therals, but when runninz with wind abeam, or with the wheels plun.ing nto a hoe one sile and then into a deeper hole on the other, it is very un- vleasant.

Municip al Ownership Is Urged by the City Official Paper. Grave Apprehension Being Felt for | the Health of the Collega Town. BERKELEY, Nov. 16 —The Alameda Water Company, which is chargei with respon ibility for the water famine rapidly ~preading over Berkeley, is being severely ~cored by the press and people of the town, and a sirong sentiment is being stirred up by the exigencies of the occasion in favor of Berkeley owing ils own wa‘er-works. The mains of the Alameda Water Com- piny and the Contra Costa Company come close together in South Berk-ley, and 1 is believed that the Alameda Compauy could be connected with the Contra Costa Company’s pives and a plentiful supply obtained. The Aiameda company has thus far refused to buy water of the oppo- itior comvany, and thus give a rivala ooting within its territory. Even if the mains of the two companies wer= connsccted, however, a large portion of Berkeley cou d not be supplied as it is above the level of the reservoir from which the Contra Costa w:ter comes’ Probably all of East Berkeley north of Dwight way would jhave no water, excep: by pumuping. It is estimated,l owever, that ajumpine station could be erected at a cost of about §1500, which would iorce the water 10 any part of the town. Both of Be ndemn Water Cor the acton o the Alameda npany. The Gazette, the pio- the company with conspiracy in the following ditorials for as known, however, nothing has been | done, the manazem nt b-iug content to sit ely by whiie a disastrous water famine may resuit in_an awinl epidemic <teadily approxched. Not oniy that, but tie charge has beeu openiy made thut the com- pany entered into an Contra Costa people by which neither concern can myade the territory of the other. If this b true, and there is_every reason to up believe it is, {he Alamedn Wa er Company has de iberatel arran ed to have the people Berk oy d prived of water rather thau take th+ chanc s of & competitor establishing If here. This is neither more ror less | than a conspiracy and should be fnvestigated atonce. The World, the city official paper, edi- torially urges municipsl ownership of water works in the following emphatic anguage: The interests involved and the dangere threatening are entire 'y too great to permit Liyiug wi b any company. The prospect of the eatire cxhausiaol of the supply o water at the end of fe . days,or even thirty dnys. when th re will b2 abso.utely no water for dem stic use or to use m case of fire, is simpiy appalling, and if there isany possibii- ing water from an Oakiand com- 10uid be done with the least possible And now isa good time to repeat the sug- | gestion that the citizens of Berk:iy be asked o vole on the question of issuing bonds for the purpose of sccuring water works to be owned by the ‘own. It secms to us that if there were cilizens heretofore wio were op- posed to the 1ssuing of bonds for that purpose they must now be thoroughly converted and wili vote for such bonds with ail their hearts. The present situation cills for the most promnt and e ¢ action. Delay will not only cause suff 1ing and ioss to nenrly all the tamilies in towi, but my eause the canceling of every policy of fire insurauce. Hea'th Officer Rowell dcclares that the iack of water to flush the sewers anu sewer connections in the- wateriess dis- tricts may presen. a difficuit probem for the healith authorities, “This whole a:fficaity,” he declared, “‘emphasizes the necessi'y of either getting in a competing company or compelling the Alameda ¢ mpany to furnish an ade- quate supplv. Lt is useless for our denart- ment to compel people to put in sewers when there is no water to keep them flushed.” PHILOSOPEY ON SUNDAY. Berkeley Students Who Wanted Pro- fessor liow son to Lectnre on That Day. BERKELEY, Nov. 16.—The college Christian associations would have had something more than Sunday opening of | the library to compiain of if the plan of cne of Professor Howison’s philosophy classes had succeeded.

OAKLAND, Nov. 16.—Captain Lefevre was buried to-day and his funeral was aftende. by a hos: of old friends. Fome volitician and lawyer. years ago the Captain was a we I-known He was popular, and, till nearlv the time of his deaih, he was one of the most familiar figures on Broadway. His long flowing beard was the basis for many a little joke, During the last few years, when his mind was romewhat clouded, the Captain was well treated by his friends, and at Mountain View to-day they gathered in force to pay the last tribute. celey’s dailv pepers join in | agreement with the | the matier was dropped, possibly on ac- count of the action of the Christian usso- ciniions in regard to the library incident. The idea of philosophical instruction on the Subbath is not. however, a new one at the universitv. Listyear many of Pro- tessor Howison’s students were in the babit of meeting on Sunday evenings at | the profes or's house and receiving in- | formally philosophical instruction. At first only theological topics were taken up, but gradusliy tbe Suuday evening discu:s on came to deal with all soris of philosophical questions. The students who attended these meet- ings aeclare that they wer exceedingly iuteresting and far more ins‘ruciive than work in the classroom could possibly be.

From Alaska. ALAMEDA, N v. 16.—The family of J. C. Muther, the auctioneer, who leit here ‘some weeks ago to go to the Klondike by way of the Cul.coot Puss, have received a letter from him dated at Lake Lin.er- man. He writes that heana his pariner, Harold Blankman of Oak'and, were nfty | days making their way from Juneau to the lake. This delay was caused by their doing their own packing and hiring none of i1, thereby saving atout $1000. He desciibes the pass as something horrible on account of the mud. They made the journey, however, in safety, and Muther va he never folt hetter in his life. * He | NEW 70-DAY. MEN RESTORED, | True Manliness Replaces the Worn Ont Nerves and Vigor.
