L ot HE Southern Pacific ferry-boats Newark and Oakland crashed into each other yesterday morn- ing off Goat Island during a heavy fog and, although the pas- sengers on both boats escaped with a bad scare, some of them will suffer from the nerve jar for many a day to come. That the accident was not more serious was due to the presence of mind of the men in charge of the boats. With little margin in which to do anything, what rather panicky for a while, behaved splen- didly.” After the collision and wnen peace been restored the souvenir craze took session of the passengers and every por: able piece of the wreckage was picked up to be taken home and carefully pre- served ns a memento of the dangers of the life of a commuter whose home and business lie on different sides of a fog visited stretch of water. The captains of the ferry-boats made full reports of the accident to the rail- road company and next week the United States Inspectors will make an official in- vestigation for the purpose of placing the responsibility. At this investigation it is expected ‘that the Government officials nately, turned out to be the proper thing The Oakland, bound for the Oakland ing and consequently as to their exact| whereabouts. It is customary during the prevalence of fog as thick' as that which yesterday blanketed the harbor to rearrange the | ferry schedule so that only one boat is | away from the wharf at a time. This is for the purpose of preventing just what happened vesterday, as when traveling under the slow bell required by the reg- ulations in foggy weather it is impossible for the pilot to adhere to his usual course. For some reason no such precaution was taken vesterday. The Newark was late in leaving the Alameda mole and the cap- pleasant but patent fact that the boats on which the Southern Pacific Company dally transovorts thousands of people are woefully lacking in facllities for caring for passengers in the event of a really serious mishap. For several hours in the morning and as long an interval in the late afternoon and evening both broad and narrow gauge boats are crowded far beyond the capaeity of the lifeboats, rafts and even lifebelts provided for times of emergency.

YOU WILL BE ALL SMILES AGAIN Forget Your Stomach and You'll Have a Santa Claus Face. HOW TO DO IT. If there is one thing more than all others that will give a man a forlorn and friendles: appearance and make him morbld and “‘cranky” and disagreeable, that thing is dys- pepsia. It makes one forget his friends and become morose and irritable. He is 8o wrappad up in his own misery that he is inconsiderate of every one else. Relieved of this terrible and depressing allment, he again becomes a £00d fellow and a man among men. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are beyond ques- tion the most effective and popular remedy ever offered to the sufferers of this terrible diseaser The thousands and thousands of cures they have brought about and the enor- mous increase of their sales fully attest the truth of this statement. They are, above all, a natural remedy. They possess exactly the same properties that the gastric juices and other digestive fluids of the stomach possess, and they actually do the di- gestive work of the stomach and enable that organ to rest and recuperate and become sound and well. They act in a mild, natural manner and cause no disturbance in the digestiv= or- gans. They prevent any fermentation of the food which causes sour stomach. In fact, un- der their influence the subject forgets that he has a stomach and his resulting cheerfulness presents a great contrast to his former dejec- tion. Millions of boxes of Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tab- lets are sold annually and they are but in the dawn of thelr popularity. Every malil brings letters of thanksglving from grateful ones who have been cured of this terrible disease. The | following is one of hundreds received each week: Rev. J. R. Hoag of Wymore, Nebr., writes: “For six vears I have been troubled with dys- | pepsia. Last fall I became yery much alarmed at some symptoms of heart trouble and came to belleve there was a sympathetic relation be- tween the two diseases, or rather that the stomach trouble was the cause of the heart | | disturbances. I hit upon Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets for a remedy and {nvested a dallar and a half for three boxes which lasted me three months, and I can eat any kind of food I want and have a good, vigorous appetite. - Although I am 77 years old, I now feel perfectly weil and without being requested by any cne I make this statement as a compliment to the virtues of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.” | Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are for sale by all druggists at S0c a box | Bushnell Appears in Court.

BOATS GOING SLOWLY. Both boats were going ahead slowly and both sounding fog whistles. Each pilot heard the whistle of the other boat, but the hills of Yerba Buena helped to dis- tort the sound and neither could locate hy the long, regular blasts that came floating through the white fog. Suddenly the boats came within sight of each other. Engines were stopped and reversed, and when a collision was seen to be inevitable skiliful steering reduced the force with which the big vessels came together. The Oakland, commanded by Captain Charles J. Anderson, loomed up, heading right across the bow of the Newark of which Captain Charles H. Bradley was in charge. The wheels of both boats were going full speed astern when the collision took place, but the great weight of the Newark carried her on with considerable force. She struck the Oakland a little aft of amidships. The Newark’'s blunt nose forced its way under the Oakland's guard and in the impact the latter boat was heeled over at an angle of terrifying acuteness. The Oakland fortunately had on board comparatively few passengers, but on the Newark were nearly a thousand men and women bound for the shops and of- fices of the metropolls. The screams of ‘women mingled with the crashing of glass and tearing apart of timbers. Women added the disorganizing element.of hys- terics to the general confusion and strong men fought with each other for lifebelts and convenient places in the vicinity of the small boats. Above the confusion, however, from the lusty lungs of the officers came assurance of perfect safety, and by the time the reversed engines suc- ceeded in tearing the boats apart a meas- ure of self-control had settled down over the passengers of both boats. The Newark escaped with the loss of a jackstaff and a few feet of rail and the Oakland, although more serfously damaged, was able to make a couple of trips before she was laid off for repairs. THE CAPTAINS' STORIES. Captain Anderson of the Oakland had little to say of the accident. He blamed the fox and seemed to think that the Newark was a long way out, of her course. He heard the Newark's fog whis- tle, but was unable to locate her, and was taken by surprise when she loomed up, heading directly for him.

AUDITOR FILES INNUAL REPORT Baehr Furnishes Figures on City’s Financial Condition. Auditor Harry Baehr yesterday filed | with Mayor Schmitz his annual report of the financial operations of the eity gov- ernment for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1903. Accompanying the report was the following communication: SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 17, 1908. chmitz, Mayor City and County I have the honor for your consideration my second to submit annual report, as provided for in article XVI, section 9, of the charter, containing a full de- scription of the operations of the financial de- partment under my supervision for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1903. During the year I have personally inspected and taken recelpts for over 15,000 demands on the treasury. These claims necessitated an enormous amount of clerical work since they have to be credited to the proper appropria- tions, and it Is with pleasure I note the ex- penditures were strictly within the amount provided for in the budget. I have also inves- tigated each and every ordinance, bill and resolution demanding my attention to the re- ceipt and disbursement of the finances of the municipality and have given them the proper consideration. It is very gratifying to state that before another year expires the bonded lm.l_eb(_edm-u of the park Improvement bonds of 1874-75 will be fully paid up, leaving the city practically without debt. In the past thirty years the tax- payers have wiped out of existence an enor- mous debt, viz.: the park improvement bonds of 1871-2 and 1874-5, City Hall construction bonds, Dupont-street widening bonds, Mont- gomery-avenue bonds and the House of Correc- ds. o N ampiling the following report I have taken great pains in perfecting a comprehen- sive statement of the financial condition of the several devartment: s and commissions and a personal :d e of the transactions of as presented. e.zl:tenn& is respectfully called to the ‘‘Re- capitulation of Demands Audited, since 1t will enable you to distinguish at glance the general distribution of the revenues of the dif- ferent funds.
