ENGINE DITCHED AND PASSENGERS DISCOMMODED OAKLAND, Oct. 30.—Somewhere up near Stege Station there is a crippled engine attached to a frelght train wait- ing to be relieved by engine No. 1404, but the latter lies ditched near Sixteenth- street Station, a fact that to-night greatly discommoded patrons of the Southern Pa- cific Company who_reside in Berkeley. Shortly before 8 o'clock the tower man in charge of the tower .near Sixteenth street had set the switches for a clear track for a freight train down Cedar street. Just then engine No. 1404, in charge of Bngineer Harry Heywood, came thundering up the track, bound for Stege Station. Whether Heywood mis- understood the signals or whether he un- derstood them and could not stop in time is not known, but his engine jumped the block system short track, or derailing track, about 200 feet south of the tower. He and his fireman jumped for their lives and escaped unlnfured. but the en- gine fell over on it side, the coal tender taking a position which blocked the Berkeley local track. As a result passen- c on the Berkeley local was sus- pended until nearly midnight and resi- dents of the University town were com- peiled to wander about on the mole until they learned of the accident; then they had to take the Oakland local and at droadway take the electric cars to their homes: The S$:40 overland and two in- coming freight trains were also delayed, By midnight the wreck was cleared off the Berkeley tracks, but thé crippled en- gine near Stege station will not be re- Heved to-night. Nelther the vwood had an; ag to how the e tower men nor Engineer information to give out gine was ditched. said Heywood s formerly a hostler and his fireman a per, and that they were not competent to take the engine through. ——— A.

The death of little two-year-old Marga- ret Cahill was reported to the Morgue | last evening. According to the account given to Coroner Hill, the baby died of neglect and cruelty, and the case will re- | celve a thorough probing by the police and Morgue authorities. | Several days ago Mrs. Judill, who is asylums, visited the home of John Ca- hill, & laborer, at 920 Bryant street. She shortly afterward found Officer Cook of the Southern police station and told hmi a pathetic story of two children, one of whom was dying of neglect. The woman stated that Cahill, whose wife died about three weeks ago, was drunk in the house, | and that one of his children, a two-year- old girl, was also at the point of death. When asked why he did not give the y medical attendance Cahill replied that he had had a woman attending the children, but that the latter had deserted her post of duty. Officer Cook visited the house and Cahill promised him that he would secure the services of another | nurse. The officer then reported the mat- ter to police headquarters, and to Acting Sergeant O'Mara the father made the same statement. Mrs. Judill per: sted that the child was being neglected and wanted it removed from the house. The father just as por- sistently refused to let his baby be taken away. This occurred on Saturday aftci noon, and last evening about 8 o’clock, the child died. The woman who at first ac- cuged the parent of inhuman treatment then came forward and re- | ported the matter to Coroner Hill. Hill, in the report left on the death slip, states that not only are charges brought against the father, but that the woman also holds | the police responsible. The officers, how- ever, claim that they had no right to | ;‘ul’l‘v the removal of the child from its | home. The little body lies in the parlor at 920 Bryant street.

Geraghty, a police operator in South Chicago, to-day reached his home and told a strange story of an attack on himself and dog by a horde of | muskrats in & swamp along the Calumet River. Geraghty entered the swamp early this | morning to hunt for reed birds. His dog, | 4 magnlficent Gordon setter, accompanied | him. Shortly after noon he started home- | ward. Suddenly the furious barking of his dog startled him, and he ran forward to find the animal literally covered with muskrats, which were tighting desperate- ly, biting and squealing like mad. They nipped at the dog’s eyes and caught his tongue in their sharp teeth. He seemed almost helpless, and Geraghty fired his | shotgun at the little army of rodents, which came scampering to the scene, hoping to scare the ones which were fast killing his dog. He mowed down dozens | of the rats without appreciably .decreas: ing their number. The dog at last suc cumbed and the reinforcements, number- ing hundreds, Geraghty says, turned their atfention to him. “They climbed through my clothes in no time and bit me savagely,” said the op- | erator in telling_the story, “‘and the only | thing that saved my life was the arrival | of a couple of other hunters, who ran in| with clubs and beat the little fellows off.” | Geraghty's story is corroborated by the hunters who rescued him. Muskrats in a portion of the swamp are known to be numerous and occasionally belligerent, but this Is sald to be the first instance | here they have attacked a man in any | ‘orce.
