CLAYTON S S S g with incident is the story ¢ George Clayton, as- ) sts treasurer of the Alcazar Theater, of a bicycle trip taken by himself and three companions Monday night, the objective point being San Jose, where the quartet hoped to spend a merry Mayday. There were two ladles in the party, Miss Gertrude Wadsworth of 127 Hyde strest, and Miss Flossie Naviet. Frank Carroll, employed at the Rambler Cyclery, was the fourth member. - The story told by Clayton is one of highway robbery and hardships in the wiids near Trvington We left here at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon,” sald Mr. Clayton, “and stop- ped awhile in Oakiand and Haywards.

Boobeobetedsdos sodses0ebsdooe 2 1 B e S S o a a S f the Southern Pacific Wrecked on Ala- Mole. service on that branch of the ferry sys- | tem was suspended until late in the day. | The “Hoodoo,” in charge of Engineer | George Sykes and Fireman Leonard | Hoover, was running down the Alameda track, tender ahead, to take out an ex- | cursion train to Sunset Park with rallway employes, the train having been made up at ‘the narrow-gaugé depot. *Brick™ Drumm, a railroad mechanic, was riding in the cabin with the engineer and fire- man. At a point near the junction of the Alameda track and the track on the mole fill, the tender suddenly jumped and twisted off the track. Sykes reversed his throttle lever and prepared to jump from his cab. Hoover and Drumm start- ed also, but the engine started to pitch over, The three men were thrown in a heap on the floor of the cab, where they were for a second almost smothered by escaping steam as the locomotive pitched over on its side. They managed to scramble clear of the wreck. When the men gathered themselves together they found the tender thrown on one side of the track at right angles to the locomo- tive, which was a_heap of wreckage on the ‘estuary side of the mole. The wreck was such that the broad- gauge tracks from the Alameda mole to Oakland were blocked, the third rail being obstructed. The company tled up its Ala- meda local narrow-gauge service as well, but by a tight squeeze managed to get the excursion trains by the wreck, although in passing the cars scraped some of the de- molished parts of the upset locomotive. The cause of the aceldent is ““In the alr,” so far as the railroad employes are con- |cerned. The track was straight and clear | at the point of the wreck. Two minutes before it occurred an engine In charge of Engineer Cozzens passed over the point safely. Roadmaster Baxter insisted that 19" was in good condition. His only sug- gestion was that a brakebeam or some- thing heavy on the tender trucks had dropped suddenly. There was no evidence that ‘the tracks Were not in perfect condi- on. Engineer Sykes sald: “Drumm and I were talking about what would happen if the ‘hoodoo’ engine should jump the track, when suddeniw the engine raised and began pounding away over the rails. 1 selected my footing and slid out just at the right time. Although we threc men were piled up in a heap on the cab floor we managed to get clear or the engine as it toppled over.” The death record of 19" began on May 22, 1898, The engine jumped the track near the scene of to-day's accident while going toward Oakland with a_ long pas- senger train. Fireman John Hickey was scalded to death and Engineer E. L. Bald- win was serfously injured. The engine was repaired at a cost of $12.000 and put in service again, but the hand of fate was | uary 81, 189, while rounding a curve going into Alameda with a local train at Fifth- street station the tender jumped the track, upsetting the engine, killing Engineer enry Jonas and Fireman:Edward Colson, besides injuring a score of passengers. Another $12,000 was spent in Tepairs and now the old “hoodoo™ is again a mass of wreckage. Svkes was scalded about the body, face #nd neck and slightly scratched. He went to his home, 1712 Webster street, Alameda, after the accident, but sald he would re- ort for duty to-day. Hoover and Brumm‘s injuries were not such as to in- capacitate them. Partners Disagree. Sult has been filed by the senior partner of the firm of Dennison, Feiling & Co., produce commission merchants, 205 Davis street, against the junior partner, and by the junior against the senlor, in which both pray that the affairs of the copart- nership may be liquidated and that they have such rellef as the court may deter- mine meet and equitable. upon the reconstructed machine. On Jan- | 1990, MRE DISCUSSING MINIMOM ATES ON INBOGHD Te Transpacific Conference Gets Down to Hard Work Without Delay. —_—— Committee of Steamship Agents Re- ports in Favor of Making Tea Rate $1 25 to Points in United States. prEs O The raflroad and steamship men In- terested in the transpacific trade were again in conference for several hours yes- terday. The only event of importance that transpired was the report of the commit- tee of steamship agents appointed on Mon- day. They reported in favor of fixing a minimum rate of §1 25 per 100 on tea ship- ments from Oriental points to all common points in the TUnited States. Because of the keen com- petition between the transpacific compa- nies this rate has been cut as low as 60 cents. Other rates can be fixed by agree- ment between the general agents. cussed at some length, but no conclusion was arrived at. J. C. Stubbs of the South- ern Pacific Company maintained that the rate of $1 25 s altogether too low, but it was argued on the other hand that it is as high as it can be made and competi- tion maintained with the Suez canal trade. The committee has only commenced its iabors, and will probably have a more im- portant report to make to-morrow. Chairman Stubbs appointed two other important committees yesterday, one on outward bound cargoes and the other on the silk trade. In order that they might get down to business without delay the conference adjourned.early in the after- noon. The newly appointed committees will probably be ready to report to-day. No one can say now what the outcome of the conference will be,”” sald Mr. Stubbs vesterday. ‘‘This is the first time there has been any attempt made to have a general agreement between the various companies interested in the Oriental trade, and there is much preliminary work to be done. It may be that nothing at all will come of the conference. When the com- mittees are all through with their work and a vote is taken on their reports the whole thing may go by the board, but at any rate we will understand each other better in the future.” Last night Mr. Stubbs entertained the visiting railroad and steamship men at a dinner at the Pacific-Unlon Club. BURSOTTI'S MILK IS FOUND TO BE PURE Board of Health Finds No Typhoid Germs and Removes Quarantine on His Ranch. The Board of Health issued the follow- ing bulletin yesterday after Dr. Kellogs had filed a report that there existed no typhoid germs in the samples of milk and which has been in quarantine since last Friday: ““This Is to certify that Mrs. Ellen Bur- sottl, conducting a dairy at Twenty-sixth street and Corbett road, having complied in every particular with the regulations of the Department of Public Health, is here- by permitted to resume the sale of milk, which was temporarily suspended pending an investigation, and she may now re- sume her business with perfect safety to the public, B — POOL LOSES OPTION ON REDWOOD LANDS Unable to Raise Money Enough Within Given Time to Float Big Transaction. The option held by Holt & Gray upon practically all of the redwood forests in the State and upon the milling plants in that section expired yesterday and the owners and manufacturers are again at liberty to do as they please with their properties. The scheme, which originated about a year ago, was known as the Red- wood Syndicate. It took $20,000,000 to float the scheme on the basis that Holt & Gray made their calculations and it seems that the enterprising agents were unable to prove to capitalists that the investment on that basis would be a profitable one. —_———————— Disappearance of A. R. Lawson. Arthur L. Lawson, janitor of the Y. M. C. A. building, reported to the Coroner vesterday that Arthur R. Lawson, an ac- quaintance from Stratford, Ontario, had mysteriously disappeared in this eity on or about January 1 of this year.
