The motorman applied the air brakes, brought the big vehicle to a standstill | and allowed the woman to get aboard. | He started the car in motion again and, glancing to his left, saw the Lar- kin street cay bearing down on him and but a few feet away. Van Eman at once applied the cur- rent in an endeavor to pass the cross- | ing and avoid a collision, but he was too late, for the approaching car struck the electric car nearly in the middle.

Some were thrown to the| ground, but escaped injury. When | they realized that no one on their car | was injured the passengers on the elec- | tric car turned their attention to those | | on the cable car. Johnson, Robinson and Miss Cour- rier, the three injured passengers on the cable car, were pinned down under | | the wreckage and it was fully half an | hour before they were taken from ! their perilous positions. All were bad- | | ly frightened and made frantic efforts | to release themselves, but were held ; | fast by the debris. | ATTEMPTS TO PASS TRACKS. Two fire alarms were turned in and | trucks 3, 4 and 10 hastened to the scene | of the collision, and began the work of | releasing the three injured passengers, | but before these were finally taken from their places of imprisonment it was necessary to cut away the platform of the car. . Motorman J. E. Van Eman, in charge of the electric car, made the following statement: “We were on e and I came to a full stop at the wést side of the cross- ing. The shades were drawn and 1| could not see well. I received the sig- | nal to go, but as I started some one yelled to stop, as a lady was trying to board the car. I stopped again and again started. I heard the bell of the | Larkin street car and thought it was | about to come to a standstill. I had | nearly cleared the track when I saw | the light of the Larkin street car shin- ing but a few feet away. The grip- man was ringing his bell, and then 1 applied the current and made a dash across the track in an endeavor to get out of the way, but it was too late. I, tried to releue the car, but it would’ not move.” Conductor C. F. Davis of the Ellis street car corroborates the statement of his motorman. George Koch, grip- man of the Larkin street car, explains the accident as follows: “We had a big load of passengers and were behind time, as the cars had been blocked all night. As I approach- ed Ellis street I tried to stop, but the brakes refused to work, and the car slid away from me. I yelled to the passengers to jump, and most of them did.

The Fire Commissioners and Assistant Fire | Chief Dougherty were also in attend- ance. The committee during the discussion | decided as a matter of additional pre- | caution to amend the building ordin- .ance by providing that wooden-frame i buildings shall be limited to a height of | three stories and be not over forty-five i feet in height, instead of fifty feet, as |at present. The amendment also re- ' quires all spires of churches and towers of breweries higher than forty feet in ‘he:ght shall have such parts as are Ihigher covered with fire-proof- mate- rials. ‘ Chief Sullivan of the Fire Depart- , ment favored making the limit along a | line 1371 feet northerly from Sutter [street to Van Ness avenue. The com- [ mittee, however, had recommended that | the line be extended to a line 1373 feet | north of Pine street, as favored by the ‘ Fire Commission. Ralph C. Harrison, representing prop- erty owners on the morth and south | sides of Pine street, opposed the exten- ! sicn, saying there was no greater dan- | ger from fire in that neighborhood than | in any other portion of the city, and if | the buildings were destroyed it would { be necessary to erect at great expense | brick buildings for residences. Messrs. Glaser, Harms, Thurston, Cailleau, | ‘Wainwright, Ferris and Dinan objected to extending the limit to Pine street, but favored making it on Sutter street, as ChielSullivan had recommended. H PROTESTANTS ARE HEARD. Protestants against including the block bounded by Steuart, East, How- ard and Folscm streets were represent- ed by Charles W. Slack, who said the | expense of filling in the land to sustain brick buildings would be greater than the value of the property. The commit- tee suggested that one-half of the block which was already filled in and bulk- headed be included in-the limits, but took the matter under advisement. Assistant Chief Dougherty argued in favor of extending the limits to Pine street, because if a fire started on the hill it might go o the water’s edge. “The whele people must be taken into consideration in this matter,” said Deugherty. “Frame bulldings are go- ing up with alarming rapidity, and the danger is fearful. Look at the Balti- | more fire, which took place in a com- paratively fire-proof district. If a fire had started on the hill during the Bald- win Hotel fire the entire city might have been burned down. Old firemen have stated that it would be impossible to place a hose in the back of the frame buildings in the lodging-house district,” * “If we wanted to save our city,” said | Brandenstein, “we should have to order t the present frame, buildings torn down {and have the owners compensated. It | seems to me that the better plan is to limit the height of all frame buildings, which would minimize the danger. The committee having heard all the protestants, it was decided to take the | matter under advisement at a confer- | ence to be held with the Fire Depart- ment on Monday next at 9:30 a. m., at which time a report will be filled with the board. The committee considered a suggest- led compromise to make the northern limit along the center line of Pine street, and Dougherty said he would agree to it. action, however, will be taken at the joint conference. - —_——— Yosemite Now Open.. 5 The Santa Fe from Merced is the best way.

The hearing consisted of the examination of Childs and several witnesses who claimed to have a knowledge of the iliness Mrs. Childs said she suffered as the result of Childs’ treatment. Childs’ testimony was a complete de- nial of the charges made against him by his wife. His attornéys introduced in evidence a letter written to him by his wife in which she sends him kisses. Mrs. Childs admitted having written the letter, and then volunteered the in- formation that in that letter, when she addressed Childs as .her husband, it was the first and the only time she had, ever done so. At the conclusion of Childs’ testi- mony Judge Hebbard continued the case until te-day at 2 p. m. in order to enable physicians, who have treated Childs, to testify as to his condition. Suits for divorce were filed by Edythe Warren against Henry M. Warren for cruelty and Kizzie B. Winders against David Winders for neglect. The War- rens were married at Fresno last Au- gust, the alleged cruel trea’mem ac- cording to the complaint, ' following close upon the marriage day. Divorces were granted to Marie Ol- mos from Antonio Olmos for neglect; Angelene Church from Grant Church for cruelty; James McCormick from Kate E. McCormick for cruelty; Sam- uel R. Johnson from Mary E. Johnson for cruelty; Annie C. Knight from Al- onzo S. Knight for desertion and Jo- hanna Mohr from George Mohr for neglect. The suit for maintenance brought by Alvina Glazer against Frank Glazer, who keeps a restaurant on Clay street, was dismissed by Judge Murasky, the couple having agreed to live together. In an answer and cross-complaint to the suit- for divorce brought against him by Angelina Dellamore, Frederick Dellamore denies that he was ever a cruel husband and charges that she is the one at fault. He says-she abuses him in the presence of their three chil- dren and displays no regret after tell- ing with a great deal of force that he is no ‘good. ( ———— DO NOT WANT A GUARDIAN.—Thomas J. and Eliza Oakes, who, ‘according to a petition for- letters of guardianship over their persons and estates flled by George W. Oakes and Ma- rie Harrigan and three of their other children, are old and infirm and unable to look out for their interests, do mot want to be bra as incompetents by any court. Accordingly they yesterday flled an opposition to the petition of their children, in which they declare that they are well and able to take care of themselves and that they are in no need of a guardian. They ask that the court refuse to appoint thelr som, George Oakes, their guardian. Another fornia star is to return to us soon for a short season.
