WRECKS AND ACCIDENTS. Belief That Manager Fillmore Has Outlived His Usefulness in the Operating Department. | The frequency of collisions and| wrecks on the coast division of the| Southern Pacific sets people to think- | ing whether it is safe to travel on the | | afternoon trains leaving this city for | | San Jose and other points south on this | line. The traffic is not so heavy on | the line as to render necessary any | extra precautions to prevent trains from coming together. There must be something wrong in the management | of the operating department of the cor- poration. The trains of the Southern Pacific on every division run slow please the most leisurely inclined tour- ist, and how it is possible for trains running on a Fillmore schedule to col- | lide with wrecking results is almost a mystery. | The wrecks on the coast line, the poky snail pace on the main line be- turn. tween Ogden and San Francisco and enough to| ern Pacific.

The | Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe, under | a progressive and enlightened admin- | istration, contributed greatly to the de- | velopment and prosperity of that rich | region of California, but the Santa Fe is now in league with the Southern Pa- cific, contrary to law and public in- terest, and the methods which have retarded the progress of the country this side of the Tehachapi are in full | sway south of the mountains. | Under the influences of honest com- petition Los Angeles, San Diego, San Bernardino, Redlands, Riverside and other cities prospered and expanded. The orchard industry became impor- tant, and might have grown to highly profitable to men who interested their means in the develop.nent of the country, if the Southern Pacific and Santa Fe had not made against reducing the cost of transpor- tation. The Stubbs principle of charg- ing up against the fruit all that the traffic could bear is now recognized by the Santa Fe. Men who have studied the growth | and expansion of productive States fig- ure that California should to-day have a population of 3,000,000 people. San Francisco should be a city of 700,000 in- habirants. This development would have been accomplished if the elements of selfishness and industrial destruction had been eliminated twenty-five years ago from the management of theSouth- ern Pacific system.

PERKINS, who is also known under the name of Ferguson, was shot and fa- I tally wounded yesterday morning by Charles Dunne, night bartender in the Junction saloon, at the corner of O'Farrell and Jones streets. Dunne left the city immediate- ly after the shooting, and was caught at Stockton by Sheriff Cunningham, who was notified to be on the lookout for him, as it was soon learned by the police that he would in all probability | head that way, as he has friends living in the San Joaquin Valley. There were several people in the sa- loon at the time of the shooting, but the stories told by them are so vary- ing that it is not known just what led up to the affray. None of them are willing to-admit that the fatal shot was fired by Dunne. They know all the cir- cumstances leading up to the instant the shot was fired. From that time on all is blank to them. They declare that they did not see a revolver in Dunne’s hand, and but for the fact that Dunne left the city after the shooting it would have been difficult to fasten the crime on him. Notwithstanding the reticence of all the parties concerned, it was learned that Perkins went into the saloon early yesterday morning and picked a quar- rel with a stranger. They were dis- cussing the Maine disaster, and the ar- gument soon led to a fight. The strang- er was struck in the face, and Dunne then Iinterfered. After washing the blood from the stranger’s face Dunne cautioned Perkins against creating any further trouble. Perkins was in a tur- FATALLY SHOT DURING A Charles Dpnne, a Bartender, After Wounding W. D. Perkins, Tries to Escape, but, G OCCURED.

They became en- gaged in a quarrel, a shot was fired and Perkins fell to the floor mortally wounded with a bullet in his brain. Dunne hurriedly left the place, and nothing more was heard of him until the dispatch was received yesterday afternoon, announcing his arrest at Stockton. Why the witnesses who were present at the time of the shooting re- Ix;mln so reticent is puzzling to the po- ce. Walter L. Hornbeck, proprietor of the saloon, says that he was notified of the occurrence about 7 o'clock yesterday morning by hisbrother, Arthur Horn- beck, who generally relieves Dunne in the morning. When he reached the sa- loon it was deserted. He found Per- kins lying on the floor in a room off the bar, and at once telephoned for police aid. Perkins was shot in front of the bar, and, according to the story of Ar- thur Hornbeck, was 1ying on the floor, when he went to notify his brother, who lives at 629 Post street, of the shooting.

The bullet entered the | center of his forehead and ranged back- | ward into the brain. | It is claimed by those who know Dunne that he was jealous of Perkins. Dunne is living with a rather comely young woman, who gave her name to the police as Mary V. Dunne, but who is better known to them as Fannie Douglass.

This is the first time that she has ever been away from home and as she is a good girl her parents scout the idea that she has run away with some chance acquaintance whom she met at the Mining Fair as a result of some childish love affair, as she met no strangers there, and if she did her brother would know of it as he was continu- Detective Anthony was detailed on the case yesterday afternoon and was instructed to notify the Oakland police lookout for the missing girl as an attempt might be made to carry - of age, but looks fully 16, as she is unusually tall and slender.

Was Kidnaped While Crossing Square. A veil of mystery and a shadow of criminality seems to han. over the sudden disappearance of little Irene Lynch, who has not been seen by her friends since she left her home at 524 Geary street last ‘Wednesday afterncon. No trace of her whereabouts can be ascertained and she has completely disappeared fromsight as if the earthhadopened and swallowed her. Her distracted parents can advance no reason why she would willingly leave home as she was always happy and had no possible cause for running away. It is believed by the girl's father, Daniel Lynch, that she had no in- tention of running away, but was abducted by an old man who was attracted by Irene’s pretty face and her musical ability while attending one of her public cornet recitals at the Mining Fair. It was noticed and remarked at the time that the man took an unusual interest in the girl as he made several inquiries as to who she was and where she Lved and at every opportunity spared no pains in pra:sing her musical ability to bystanders. It is this man that the distracted father believes is the cause of his daughter’s sudden disappearance. ‘When she left her home Wednes- day afternoon on an errand to her 000000.00000000000000000 a number of young friends that she had gone to however, her parents officials to keep a She noticed him on several oc- 0000000000CO00000000000COCCO000000D0000C00000CO2000000C0 SALOON QUARREL. ousy was the real incentive for the shooting. Being jealous of Perkins, Dunne took advantage of the quarrel with the stranger to engage Perkins in the fight, which will undoubtedly result in his death.

When asked for an explanationsof the shoot- ing, Dunne said: “Yes, it is true I shot Perkins. He has frequently threatened to kill me, and I determined to defend myself.” Last evening the murderous barten- der was brought from Stockton and locked up in the City Prison. I shot in self defense,” he remarked. “Perkins has repeatedly made the re- mark that he would do me, and I con- | cluded not to take the worst of it.
