HE storm was incidentally re- sponsible this morning for a very serious train wreck on the broad- gauge pier. The Berkeley local crashed into a gravel train, and both locomotives were seriously damaged. J. W. Donathan, a horsetrainer, who was in the last car of the local, was thrown down violently, and several of his ribs were broken. Engineer Sulli- van of the local met with an injured knee, but there were no other acci- dents. The mole is being widened to admit of extra tracks, so that a twenty- minute broad-gauge service can be in- augurated. Many gravel trains are constantly going up and down the pier, and this morning one should have switched off the Berkeley track, but was a little late. The Berkeley local received a signal to stop, and obeyed it, but the tracks were so slippery with salt water that the train slid along the rails with all the wheels locked. Both engines were badly smashed, S @ CRASHED INTO A GRAVEL TRAIN S Serious Wreck on the Oakland Mole Wherein Two Persons Were Injured. and Superintendent James Agler says that it was a pure accldent and that neither of the engineers is to blame. “As far as I am able to judge,” said he, “no one is to blame for the col- lision. We have been very busy here for the last four months, having a large force of men employed changing the tracks and widening the mole. This s the firsi accident that has oc- curred. The signal was given for the Berkeley local to stop, and the engi- neer applied the brakes; but the tracks were just like glass from the sea water which had been blown on them by the heavy wind. The result was that LR R R RO ERE R PR LR L LT LS AL R R LR R LR R TR R RN when the wheels were locked the train elid along the rails with great head- way. The damage to the engines and cars will not be very great.” Engineer Hart and Fireman Purvis on the switch engine jumped from the cab just before the collision and es- caped injury. Fireman Worthy of the local train stayed with the engine, and was not hurt. Two of the gravel-cars were bent almost double by the shock, and the heavy granite rocks with which they were loaded were scattered all around. The coaches of the local were only damaged to the extent of a few broken windows. [+] & @ @ @ & @ L4 @ @ @ kg @ @ @ (] TEACHERS WILL FIGHT FOR THE WAGES DUETHEM Board of Education to Be Sued. LEADING LAWYERS RETAINED ; WILL INSTITUTE PROCEEDINGS AT ONCE IF NECESSARY. A Majority of Members of the De- partment Join in the Movement Looking Toward the Collec- tion of Their Salaries. The teachers composing the San Fran- cisco School Department will stand shoul- der to shoulder and fight for their rights. This was apparent in a marked degree at a meeting of the teachers at B'nai B'rith Hall, Bddy street, vesterday aft- ernoon. The report of the committee ap- pointed at a previous meeting was pre- sented, and those present approved of all the steps taken by their representatives tending to compel the Board of Education to pay their salaries for November and December., The lavish expenditures of the present board have left the funds of the department in a depleted condition, and the outlook for the teachers is not a cheerful one. The gathering yesterday was a good- humored one, those present being quick to grasp the witty sallies that from time to time were made, sometimes uninten- tionally. The building was thronged downstairs, while the gallery also con- tained a fair sprinkling of ladies. The men were in the minority, being lost to sight in the sea of femininity. R. H. Webster, Superintendent of Schools, called the meeting to order with the sim- ple statement that they would hear the report of the committee appointed at the last meeting. This report was made by Louls de F. Bartlett, secretary of the mittee. col’: effect it was that it had been deter- mined to retain John Garber and the firm of Olney & Olney to protect the rights of the teachers and to collect their salaries for November. The plan of procedure to be followed was not outlined, Mr. Bart- lett saying it was not one to be outlined at an open meeunfi. thus placing the in- formation in the hands of persons #ho could use it in the fight being rhade against the teachers by the Board of Edu- cation. He explained, in addition, that the contest about to be waged would es- {ablish once and for all a principle that would protect the teachers. It is known that the board holds that teachers’ posi- tions are not statutory ones under the law and are not protected as clerkships and other positions are. Auditor Broder- jck opposes this contention of the board, saying the teachers have the same stand- ing as other employes of the city. 2 The report pointed out that teachers’ salaries are preferred claims on the board, and have precedence over school bills for supplies and other expenses. In conclusion, Mr. Bartlett asked that the report be adopted as partial and progres- sive. The report was recéived with applause. e The only apparent opposition to the bqi developed at this time, %'fi?:': T li!. %’:%n Yy upl:efl some point- ed questions as to the expense to in- urred in retalning counsel, court fees and other expenditures. He asked if the teachers would be party plaintiffs in t 2 suit, and what preliminary steps .ould be aken " Bartlett said, in explanation, that teachers must swear to their de- the first step in the matter. The ers decided that this was expedient, in addition to their formal demand for sal- ary on the officers of the Board of Edu- cation. They wanted to leave no open- ing for legal technicalities. In reply to a question as to the amount of money in the treasury, the speaker said there should be over $100,000 “if there has not been any one there recently.” This raised a laugh, the memory of those present going back to the recent defalca- tion which was overlooked when the coin on hand was “hefted” instead of counted, as required by law. The chairman explained that some per- sons had volunteered the information that the démands of the teachers"will be pass- ed by the Directors on the 15th inst, “But as a matter of fact,” he said, “‘they have not been approved yet. A formal de- mand must be made and suit commenced, or we will have no recourse in law. Onl, those teachers who take this course wil have any legal redress.” The matter of counsel fees was then discussed. It was introduced by Secre- tary Bartlett, who sald he believed that $1500 would be the least compensation that could be offered the men who had been entrusted with the teachers’ interests. They had not stipulated that or any other amount, he expldined. Mr. McCarthy, who said he represented the ideas of many teachers, said he knew the{ would not ve willing to pay any such sum. He claimed that the original estimate on the amount of each teach- er's share of the legal expenses was fler cent of his or her salary, and he af- rmed that such an amount was specl- fied by Secremrfi Bartlett at the first meeting. This Mr. Bartlett warmly de- nied, and was applauded for his stand. Mr. Sturgis was in favor of paying lib- erally for the services of attorneys. “I you are in trouble,” he said, “and need the services of a lawyer, or ill and require a_doctor, it Is always advisable to em- loy the best and é)ay them liberally. ive-ninths of the entire pay-roll of the department are repreSented ere, 50 some $50,000 worth of warrants are in dispute. I say it is worth 3 per cent of one month’s salary to make the fight.” The suggestion was made by a teacher that all might back out of the present fight except a hundred persons, and the; would be held for the expense incurred. Chairman Webster asked that all rise who would supgott the prosecution of the claims. As if by intuition, and before he had fairly stated the question, every per- son in the hall stood up, thus showing their interest in pressing the claims. Upon this showing it was decided to allow the attorneys this compensation, it being undenrstood they would carry the litigation through to the end. This concluded the regular business of the /meeting. The warrants which the teacilers were to swear to before notaries ublic were then produced and distributed rn order that they might be signed and sworn to. The notarles were stationed in different portions of the room. The warrants for the teachers employed in a school were all given to one man, and the teachers appeared before him and af- fixed their signatures to the document. Proceedings will be commenced at once to determine the question as to whether the teachers shall be paid the salaries aue them. The committee representlnf the teachers consists of: C. H. Murphy (chair- man), Louls de F. Bartlett (secretary), W. D. Kingsbury, élbert Lyser, Miss Agnes Manning and Miss Emma C. Stincen. Those school teachers who did not swear to their salary demands before a notary public at the meeting yesterday afternoon mah do so at the parlors of Golden Gate Hall on Sutter street this morning bétween the hours of 10 and 12.

Several Witnesses Tell Uninteresting Stories of the Murder of S Hilderbrand. The third day of the second trial of young Walter Rosser for tne murder of Henry Hilderbrand was occupied in the examination of witnesses for the prosecu- tion. Nils Johnson, Wiute Walsh, whose arm Rosser grasped just before firing the fatal shot, Samuel Gosel, Richard H. Nias, George Bayford, Charles M. James, R. W. Taylor and Fred O wrien were ex- amined, but no Interesting facts were brought to light. It is known and thor- nugh?y established that Kosser killed Hil- i derbrand and it rests with the defense to prove that he had no malice against his victim and was mentally non compos when he fired the shot. The case will be closed in all probability Monday evening. CONFIRMS THE SALE OF THE VALLEY ROAD Control Passes to the Santa Fe. HAS A MAJORITY OF SHARES OVER 82,000,000 PAID UNION TRUST COMPANY. Vice President Payson Does Not Ex- pect Any Change in Directorate of the Road for the Present. i The long-talked-of and much-discussed purchase of the San Francisco and San Joaquin Valley Railway by the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway is an ac- complished fact. The Call in its dis- patches of yesterday from Topeka, Kans., where the stockholders of the latter road are holding their annual meeting, an- nounced the fact that the purchase of the Valley Railway by the Santa Fe had been formally approved. Such is the case, and the purchase is confirmed by Captain A. H. Payson, second vice president of the Valley road, who stated yesterday that the acquirement of the Valley road by the Santa Fe was a fact. Captain Payson affirmed that he him- self had received no formal notice of the purchase of the road, but he knew it had been consummated because the money for 22,978 shares of the stock had been paid to the Union Trust Company by the Santa Fe people and the stock had been trans. ferred to them. The purchase price was $100 a share, making the sum paid yester- day $2,207,800. There are still outstanding 1760 shares of the Valley road stock, so that the total cost of the road torthe Santa Fe people at the price of $100 a share will be $4,057,800. The Santa Fe road made arrangements with the Union Trust Company whereby they were to be in- formed of the ratification of the purchase by telegraph and were to pay for and transfer the amount of stock in their pos- session at the price agreed on. The purchase of the Valley road, or at least of a controlling interest in the stock, ves the Santa Fe lines an entrance into an Francisco. This means the consum- mation of a long desired deal on the part of President E. P. Ripley. Prior to the meeting of the stockholders the purchase of the Valley road had been practically agreed on, and the formal ratification at the Topeka meeting came not in the nature of a surprise, as it was a foregone conclusion that such would be the case. Captain Payson said that he could not speak for the future policy of the road. He does not think, however, that at pres- ent there will be any change in the offi- cers and directors of the Valley road. Hardtmuth's “Koh-I-Noor” lead pencil will outlast three others. Try it, o AUGUSTUS WIDBER IN CONTEMPT OF COURT HE TURNS A DEAF EAR TO QUES- TIONS PUT HIM. Stolidly Refuses to Answer or Give Information Regarding the Lo- cation of His Properiv. Ex-Treasurer Widber is in contempt of court, Naturally this amounts to but little to him as he is now under sentence to serve a term in the State prison for his offense of looting the city treasury. Yesterday the prisoner was taken into Judge Bel- cher’s court undér an order of examina- tion as a judgment debtor on behalf of the Fidelity and Deposit Company of Maryland, which seeks in a measure to compensate itself for its loss on Widber's bond. The company wished to obtain in- formation as to the whereabouts of Wid- ber's property, but the attempt was un- successful. ‘When placed on the stand Widber re- fused to answer the various questions of counsel. He said he meant no disrespect to the court, but as he had a sentence hanging over his head and two more in- dictments acainst him he uid not think it _advisable to answer the questions. Judge Belcher then adjudged him guilty of contempt of court until such time as he should answer the questions. As the prisoner has but one corporeal body, and that is at present in jail, it is hardly likely, inasmuch as the laws of this coun- ‘do not sanction the whipping post and the prisoner has no money with whih to pay a fine, that the judgment of contempt will seriously disturb the pris- oner’s comfort.
