As it the trip took them about ten hours. _| The hut where the old man lived and | died was bare of even the necessarles of | existence, the chief article of furniture | being a barrel in which the froge were kept pending their removal. Absolutely nothing was found by the deputies which | would give the least clew to the old man’s | reasons for leading his lonely life.

Garrison | and His Wagon Struck i by an Engine. l P! William L. Garrison, an expressman re- siding at 2818 Harrison street, had a nar- row escape from instant death last even- | ing while driving acr the Southern Pa- | cific railrcad tracks Treat avenue. | _Garrison, with a_companion, was driv- | ing two horses and when his ‘wagon was | directly on the rallroad tracks the gate- keeper, Jerry Murphy, rang the warning | bell and lowered the gates. Garrison was | thus penned in on the track and could | neither go forward nor retreat. |, Ghe whistle of a speclal southbound | train was heard in the distance, and ere | the two men could reach a place of safety the engine of the train struck their wa- | gon with terrific force. Garrison's com- | panion made a jump for the ground just | before the wagon was struck, but Gar- rison was not so fortunate. Wagon, horses and driver were hurled a distance of twenty-five feet, striking the ground clear of ihe tracks, but in perilous prox- imity to the wheels of the passing train. The engineer of the train did not walit | to see the result of the collision, but con- tinued on his way. Garrison’s companion and Gate-keeper Murphy hastened to the assistance of the injured man and found him in an unconscious state. A telephone message was sent to the - Sevehteenth street police station and the patrol wa- gon was soon on the spot. Police Officer {J. J. McLaughlin conveyed Garrison to the Railroad Hospital, where Dr. Alder- son found that the patient had sustained a compound fracture of the left leg below the kiee. The physician has hopes that the injured limb 5 Police Lieutcnant Anderson of the Mis- sion District learned that the train which caused Garrison's injuries was a special, bound to the racetrack at Tanforan for a load of horses. Orders were given by the lieutenant to arrest the engineer of the train when he returned to the eity, Garrison's wagon was smashed to pieces, but the horses escaped injury. The unfortunate expressman is married and has a wife and four little children depend- ent upon him. Wanted in Merced. Irving B.

She was taken to a Hamilton square drugstore, but nothing couid be done for | her, and a littlc time after she passed | awa; The primary cause is thought to | have been heart disease, but internal in- | juries may have existed, caused by a fali from a car which she suffered three | months since. { | Mrs. Folger, who was a widow, was on her way to work at the library when sha died. For some days she had been com- plaining of not feeling well, but treated her condition as being not serious.

In educational and literary circles Mrs. Folger was well known. Naturally talent- ed, well read and gifted with an indom- itable energy, she filled her part at the library with pecullar fitness, and her loss will be one severely felt.

Major Long of the United States trans- port service sent a letter to the board asking that the transport dock at Steuart street be lengthened fifty feet in addition to the proposed 200 feet. The matter was | referred to the chief engifieer of the hoatd. The Merchants’ Transportation Com- pany applied for berth room at Jackson- street wharf for their new steamer. which is to ply on the Sacramento and San Joa- quin rivers. Chlef Wharfinger Henderson was requested to find the desired accom- modation. Williams, Dimond & Co. complained that they had been charged half-dockage rates for their ship Shenandoah for eight days, when the rate should have been one- quarier, This matter was referred to the chief wharfinger. It was ordered by the board that the south side of Lombard-street wharf, now used for berthing the ferry-boat Ukiah, be placed in condition to accommodate deep water vessels, owing to the crowded state of the water front.

At a meeting of union No. 432, Retail Clerks’ International Protective Assocfation, last night at Red Men’s Hall, the executive committee re- ported that they had worked very hard to secure the agreement of clothiers, hat- ters, furnishers and merchant tailors to close, ning January 1, 1901, and as a result eighty-five of the leading merchants have si Ied their jntention to adopt 6 o’'clock closing as the rule. A number of merchants sent communications compli- menting the clerks for the intelligent, business-like method they have pursued in nsllldni. their cause.
