Much evidence, however, was produced both to show that the train was running at a high rate of speed and also to prove that the train was not running any faster than Echedule time, and not as fast as the reg- | ular np-country passenger trains are run ev The railroad officials produced train re- ports to substantiate their claim that the epecial was not running too fast, as well as read to the jury various orders given on that day, regular time had been ordered. To fur- {her substantiate their claims various em- ployes of the company testified that the special was running properly as to speed. CONFLICT IN TESTIMONY. Several persons who were on the train when it went to and contradicted the statements made by | the crew on the train. Experts and en- gineers were also put upon the stand to as to the speed that would be safe on curves of various degrees. Coroner Sawyer tried In every way to draw out ething that might prove tire cause of his som the less. The railroad by Attorney J. W. lawyers were present to look interests of those injured in the wreck. The inquest began accident, but efforts were fruit- represented while other A. Roman and Michael Kirk were killed in the Sunday The jury the | Coroner summoned last Sunday night to view the remains and which sat at to- e | day's investigation consisted of R. Cot- Scott, P.

I only hope that in another | Week there will be a turn for the bet- | ter.” INJURIES OF VICTIMS. Dr. J.

The next witness was John E. Axtell, the brakeman on the train. Axtell stated that he knew of no unusual features on | | the trip up or down, and did not know at | what speed the engineer was running the | trafin. Neither did.# remember how nany stops were made en route. He fur- ther stated that it was the second trip he ever made on the North Shore Cazadero branch. He believed the train was run- ning about twenty miles an hour. C. H. Orth, the engineer, was the next witness. He stoutly denied that he was running too fast or that the roadbed was not absolutely safe. He admitted, how- ever, that it was his first trip over that portion of the road, but stated an expe- rienced engineer should be able to run an engine over any piece of road so long as he had orders and a time table to go by. “I left the wharf at Sausalito,” said Orth, “at 10:35, and I reached Tomales, fifty-four miles, at 1:16 p. m. We made no stops en route for passengers except at Ban Anselmo. I made one stop for re- pairs between San Anselmo and Tomales, but that was at a time when we had to stop for water at Lagunitas.” How long have you heen employed by the North Shore Company ? Since June 8, this year, How many tripe had you made to' Tomales? It was my first trip. 1 had a firemen and student in the cab with me. Should a raflroad company send out a man with a special train i he had never made the trip: before? Certainly, if there was any timecard to £0 by, What speed did you make up Whites Hill? About_eighteen miles an hour, I suppose. How long have you been railroading? I_was a firenan on the Southern Pacific in 1877 and an engineer since 1880. 1 never ran on & narrow gagge until I worked for the North Shore. But there is no particular difference. Can you run as fast on & .narrow gauge as on_a broad gauge? ) Well, that depénds upen the engine. I would people the try | responsible for the accident at Tocaloma.

Railroad Men Find It Hard to Ex- plain the Disasters. General Manager Rank, who is still in- vestigating the wreck of Sund: v with a view of determining, if possfble, its cause, began an Inquiry into the re: | ons | the Cazadcro train jumped the | track, but at a late hour vesterday af.| ternoon he had made little progress. Notwithstanding the fact that a number of passengers on the northbound train insist that a too high rate of speed was why the raflroad officials have ample proof | to the contrary, but are unable to sug- | gest any other cause. In discussing the affair last evening Mr. Rank said: “Fate seems to have been against the North Shore during the past few weeks, Yesterday's wreck was almost identical with the unfortunate one of Sunday, ex- cept that in the first occurrence the train was coming south and in that of yester- day the train was bound northward. In both instances the derailment took place immediately after a curve had been passed, and in the two affairs we are still at a loss for an explanation for the reason why the wheels shou!d have jumped the track. When the funeral party was carried over the trestle and hurled to the ground below a great deal was said about the company having had an inexperienced engineer; that is, one who had not been over the route many times in charge of the locomotive, and through this fact some were inclined to attach blame to the officlals of the road. Another charge was that no train as light as the Sunday speclal should have been allowed to run, and yet vesterday one of the oldest and most experienced engineers in the employ of the company took out a train of five coaches over a route on which he had been traveling since a boy, and not only did his train meet with an accident at a place with which he was very familiar, but the poor fellow in whom we reposed so much trust lost his Hfe. In this latter sad affair death furnished material for thought for those who seemingly are ready to lay the blame of all accidents on railroads to neglect, carelessness or indifference to public safety of the officlals. “Although I have mnot personally vis- ited the scene of yesterday's wreck 1 sent inspectors there, and after carefully examining the ground they have report- ed that there is no evidence tosbe had to furnish a plausible suggestion as to how the accident occurred. I now doubt if an explanation for either of the wrecks will ever be obtained. We still adhere to our original opinion that the speed of the Sunday special had nothing to do j of the Board of Prison with that wreck, and in the case of " the' one of yesterday we have| engineer to work his engine into a high rate of speed certainly disposes of all op- portunity for any one to raise this ques tion GURRE CALLS UPON GOVERNOR Warden'’s Visit to Sac-| i feofeok ramento Cause of a Flutter. | Special Dispatch to The Call SACRAMENTO, June 2. — Martin Aguirre, warden of San Quentin Prison, visited Governor Pardee at his office in the Canitol this afterncon for the pur- pose. it is declared, of sounding the Ex- | ecutive with respect to his chances for reappointment. It is said the Governor gave Aguirre to understand tnat he wouid have nothing to do with the appointment, | leaving the matter enurely in the hands Directors. The incident of the warden’'s visit to the Gov- ernor caused quite a flutter of gossip in other State offices, It is understood that a w warden for San Quentin will be chosen at the next meeting of the boaid, since Aguirre's te-m expires July 1. About a month ago the Governor held a conference in his office at the Capitol with the prison directors and | he gave them distinctly to understand | that he had no candidate and that he did not desire anything from the directors ex- cept that they should select men capable of conducting the prisons properly. It was stated at that time that no ac- tion would be taken toward the election of a Warden until July 1, pending the re- turn of Director Felton from the East Director Devlin left last night for the East and Europe and he will not return | before October. ‘He has been given a commission by Governor Pardee us a rep- | resentative of the State to visi* foreign prisons, but the incldent has ro signifi- cance so far as the management of the | California penitentiaries is concerned. Former Senator Felton will return from | the Easf next Saturday evening. Soon after his return there wili be a meeting of the Board of Prison Directors and a successor to Warden Aguirre wili be eho- | sen. 1 | men on bas June 25.—St. Louis took both zames a double-header to-day from the homge team.
