He was walking toward his home and had reached the crossing of Market and Thirty-fifth streets when he met his death. Behind him was walking H. Bertz, an ironmolder.

C., Nov. 21.—Later re- | ports of the Tokal Maru disaster, after | collision with the steamer Progress, Te- | celved by the steamer Riojun Maru, | which arrived to-day, reveal distress- ing details. At the time of the collision the snow ‘was falling so thickly that nothing was | visible a foot away. A deed of hero- | tsm is reported on the part of the Jap- anese captain, who tied himself to the bridge and sank with his vessel, pull- ing the whistle cord as he went down. Neither the Tokal Maru nor the Pro- gress suspected each other’s presence. The former was salllng northward, when the latter came up from the east and drove her bow into the Tokal Maru, | which sank in five minutes. At the time another N. Y. K. steamer, the Higo Maru, en route also from Aomori for Hakodate, was attracted to the scene by the sound of the ship’s whistles, which were barely audible in the snowstorm, and on being apprised of the disaster assisted in the effort to rescue survivors. When the accldent took place Captain Hinta did his utmost to save the lives of others. He sent off boats with passengers, but only one of them reached the Russian steamer, which also dispatched several life boats. One of them approached the sinking ship to He had, as stated, tied himself to the bridge and was still pulling the string of the whistle. ‘When invited to leave his post he sternly refused and calmly sank with the ship. The Russians shed tears over this tragic incident. Almost all the survivors are injured more or less, and the decks of the Progress were bespat- tered with blood.

It was rusty and the high| wind made the strain more than it could stand and it fell, dropping over | the heavily charged wire beneath. The police stood guard at the spot until | linemen came and drew the dangling | | wire out of reach. | | The doctor who was summoned by | Tum Suden said: “The first intimation that I had of | the accident was when Mr. Tum Suden | | drove up to the house and told me that two men had been struck by a live | wire at the corner of Thirty-fifth and Market streets. I immediately accom- | panied him to the scene, and found that the officers had already arrived. I ex- \ amined Mr. Yerrick first and found that | he was past any aid that I could offer. | I think that he must have been in- stantly killed, as he received the full force of over 2000 volts, which is enough | to kill any man. “After examining Mr. Yerrick I turn- ed my attention to Bertz, who was still breathing, but unconsclous. While I was working over him the patrol wagon arrived and he was taken to thu Receiving Hospital.” ‘When the call was sent to the polma station for the ambulance Captain of Police Peterson, who was in charge of the office, sent two palrs of rubber | gloves out to the officers in order that they might get the fallen wire clear of | the sidewalk. i J. N. Gallagher, the construction | foreman of the Oakland Gas, Light and Heat Company, said that one side of & dead telephone loop had fallen across one of the light company’s leads and the end of the wire had swung down within reach of the sidewalk. He said that the wire had probably broken oft in the tie. —_—— Caring for the Pennies. “It's no wonder some people get rich, the way they look out for pennies,” sald & member of a large Phlladelphls wholesale firm. “Of course, strict bus- iness methods are all right, but there is such a thing as carrying them to ridiculous extremes. For instance, one of our best customers is a man who runs a department store in an interior town. He discounts all the bills and is very particular about the matter of re- ceiving a monthly statement. Some time ago he falled to receive this state- ment, either through en error on our part or on the part of the postal au- thorities.
