S WOODLAND, June 21.—The engine of a passenger train started a fire on the long trestle between .nights Landing and Yuba City to-day. The crew of a freight train following shortly after put out the fire, but not until one pile and thirty-five ties were burned. Another big Hay and grain field fire | raged for three hours south of Knights | Landing this afternoon. A large area of country was burned over. The loss has undoubtedly been very heavy. Four persons had a narrow escape near Woodland last night. Mrs. §arah Lucas, aged and mfirm, and her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Lee Lucas and two grandchildren. aged 5 and 2 respectively, lived in a farm- house two miles west of Woodland. About 10 o'clock, after the doors were locked and all the family were in their night clothes and ready for bed, the little boy, 5 years old. knocked a coal-oil lamp |off a table The lamp was broken and the burning ofl ran all over the floor of one room. The women and children fled to another room and closed the door to check the spread of the flames. They were so bewlldered that nearly the entire | bullding was enveloped in fire before they unlocked the doors and made their escape. The residence and its contents were de- stroyed. Neighbors whose attention was attracted by the burning house, hastened to the scene in time to save the barns and other building: —_————— ITALY’S KING ACCEPTS CABINET RESIGNATIONS Issues Royal Decree Convening Par- liament on the Coming Thursday.

LOWELL, Mass., June 2L.—The Textil Council this afternoon declared the strike in the Lowell mills at an end. Every union affiliated with the council was rep- resented and the vote was unanimous. Mule spinners and loom fixers were in- cluded in this vote, despite statements that they would oppose a return to work. President Conroy later said: We now worship at the altar of defeat, but later we shall rise again and conquer. ‘Willlam H. Southworth, secretary of the agents, said it would be impossible to start the remainder of the machinery so as to employ at once all who will come back, and added: It is for the sclling agents and the treas- urers to decide, in view of the market, whether we shall attempt to run in full. The strike began on March 30 and in- volved about 17,000 operatives. The mills were shut down untfl June,1 when the agents opened the gates and-the majority of the operatives went back to work. The strike has cost in wages about $1,300,000. The high price of cotton precluded any hope of success of the strikers for a ten per cent increase. —_——— Wagner and the Return to Nature.

Hunt- | ington’s Pacific Electric Raflway is mak- | ing some interesting experiments with the view of increasing the speed on all subor- ban lines to the highest degree consistent with safety. A windbreak for the front of the cars has been successfully tried and will be placed on all long distance cars. This is sald to be the first time this ap- pliance has been used in the United States. The device adopted resembles in shape the ordinary pilot of a locomotive. The | base is on a level with the floor, the point of the wind plow being six feet from the front of the car. From this point the knife-like edge extends puward at an an- zle of forty-five degrees to the top of the car. .To drive the car at a speed of sixty miles an hour with this wind plow at took 220 horsepower of electrical energy. With- out the hood the same car, with its flat front, demanded 29 horsepower to attain the same speed. This Is a saving of 24 mean on a close estimate a saving of $1 10 |per cent of electrical energy, and wouldi an hour in the running of the car. Coach Turns Completely Over. —_— HE relief train, consisting of two day coaches anu engine, pulled into Sausalito soon after 1 o'clock this morning. Six ambulances, all that could be obtained in San Francisco, and two hacks that had been sent over at 9 o’clock on the Tamalpais were drawn up near the track, and the instant the train | came to a standstill the cars were un- coupled and the ambulances backed up as close as possible. Surgeons Frank S. Emmal, W. E. Down- ing, F. H. Koepke and A. M. Taylor were in waiting to superintend the taking of the injured from the train, and there were hundreds of willing hands ready to help. Dr. Taylor, the company’s surgeon, had actual charge of the transfer. The inside of the cars presented a har- rowing spectacle. Some of the injured were unconscious and others were groan- ing with pain. They were supported by what rough improvised stretchers could be found at Olema. FERRYBOAT IN WAITING. Considering the large number of those severely injured, the transfer to the am- bulances was accomplished in surprising- ly short time. Every ambulance had two occupants and each of the hacks was full. The ambulance in which the Smith fam- ily were placed presented a most pathetic scene. Dr. Smith, although terribly crushed and unable to stand, insisted that his family go with him. He was bolstered up at one end of the vehicle, his arms being in splints made of rough limbs. At his feet lay his little daughter, Dorothy, with fractured skull, still unconscious, and beside her lay the mother, stunned and racked with pain, trying to call her little child back to consciousness. Conductor Dave Burrows, although se- verely wounded in the head, braced him- self in his hack and tried to administer reviving salts to the other occupant The Tamalpais was waiting with steam up and the moment the last vehicle was on board she left for San Francisco. On the boat restoratives were applied and everything done to allay the suffer- ings. Those who were not smashed were so severely bruised and stunned that they were verging on collapse. INJURED ASSERT RIGHTS. At first it was decided to have the en- tire number moved out to the A. Miles Taylor Sanitarium, as Dr. Taylor is sur- geon of the railroad company. In many cases the patients demanded to be taken to their own homes and considerable dis- | cusslon ensued, with the result that those who had received the least injuries were permitted to do as they desired. Mrs. R. Fletcher Tilton, whose husband was badly injured, stated that they had gone up to sing at the funeral, her hus- band being a member of the California Quartet, the others being J. R. Jones, R. W. Smith and C. L., Gage. She said they were not acquainted with Mr. Dutton, but volunteered to go and assist out of the simple regard they held for him. She said all the people along the railroad came to the rellef traln with offers of assist- ance. The car was smashed to kindling wood, she said. When it turned §he curve the car was going so fast that it could | not keep the track and turned over and dashed down the bank. It landed with a terrible crash, and the air was filled with plercing screams. C. L. Gage was the only one of quartet who could walk. Awaiting the landing or the relief boat at the ferry depot were crowds of friends with carriages to convey the in- jured to their homes. the Established 1823, WILSON VWHISKEY. That’s All!
