L. Miller, 72 years old, of Santa Margarita, was found at 6 o'clock this morninz by a railroad switching crew. He had fallen from an overland train last night. Un- conscious and helpless from his severe injuries and the shock, the aged man was taken to the Receiving Hospital. Dr. R. T. Stratton, the chief surgeon, found the patient in a critical condition. Amputation of the injured member will probably be necessary, as circulation had ceased in the extremity. | Miller bad lain exposed to the drench- ing rain for at least eight hours. It/ is supposed that he fell from an in-| bound overland, as his papers showed | | that he had been in Chicago on a visit and was retufning home. Near him was a lunch basket. The theory is that he had prepared to leave the train and had stepped out on a platform to make ready to alight, mistaking Sixteenth | street station for the Oakland pier. The swing of the car at a curve caused him to lose balance and pitch off the| | platform, unseen by any of the train crew. | The old man’s most serious external injury was the fracture of the lex. coupled with a mass of cuts and bruises about the head, face and hands. In fact he was almost unrecognizable. On top of this was the severe shock followed by the exposure to the storm of the night. Miller was ly- ing between . the railroad tracks. his body clear of passing trains. The switching crew that found him. took him on a car to the foot of Peralta street and thence he was removed by | the police to the hospital. Dr. J. J. Meigs, the Southern Pacific Company's surgeon, censured the crew for not sending word to the company's doctors. He said Miller would have been sent immediately to the Southern | Pacific hospital in San Francisco if the medical department had been in- formed. Harry Borchert, steward at the Re- ceiving Hospital, found among Miller's effects a slip of paper upon which was written: “If anything should happen telegraph to Mrs. F. M. Lilly, Oxnard. Ventura County.” Miller regained con- sciousness enough to say Mrs. Lilly was his sister. Another address was that of Mrs. Sarah Benson, 259 East Sixty-second street, Chicago. She is| supposed to be another sister of Miller | with whom he had been visiting. i —_———— | FIRE DESTROYS A HOTEL IN TOWN OF MANITOU Flames Spread to Adjoining Buildings and Resist Efforts of Depart- ment to Subdue Them.

Two pairs of highwaymen at oppo- site ends of the city operated last night. Each brace of footpads was successful. The first encounter was that of two robbers armed with pis- tols, who held up C. W. Campbell on Tenth street, near Market, and robbed him of a watch, chain, diamond locket and $9 while he was walking home last night at 9:30 o'clock. Campbell lives at 966 Tenth street, near the scene of the robbery. Because he objected to the notoriety Campbell kept his adventure from the police until this afternoon. The vie- tim could give only a meager descrip- tion of his assailants, the darkness preventing him from getting a fair look at them. Campbell told the police that the foétpads suddenly came upon him from the cover of trees that line the side- walk. Before he had time to move ke was ordered to throw up his hands and a pistol was presented at his head, inforcing the demands. While one man kept guard with the weapon the companion robber, also displaying a revolver, deftly removed Campbell's jewelry and relieved him of his money. Campbell was permitted to continue his interrupted journey after being ad- monished to raise no atarm. Two masked highwaymen held up and at the point of revolvers relieved Edward Stanley of $25 last night at 10:30 o'clock on Twenty-sixth avenue. near East Fourteenth street, while the vietim of the robbers was on his way Stanley of- fered no resistance to the footpads, as they took him by surprise and got the drep on him before he realized their purpose. He yielded all the coin he had and was told to go and earn some more. Stanley has a barber shop at 1533 Park street, Alameda. After counting and pocketing the receipts of the day he boarded an electric car, which he left at Twenty-third avenue and East Fourteenth street. What happened after that, as related by Stanley, fol- | lows: Upon leaving the car I proceeded north along Twenty-third avenue toward East Sixteenth street.” 1 observed two voung fellows walking ahead of me for two blocks. When I came up with them they separated and permitted me to pass between them on the sidewalk. They then crossed over to the opposite side of the avenue, quickened their pace and disappeared in the darkness. The next I saw of them was when they stepped Out from the shadows on the same side of the avenue on which I was traveling and ordered me 0 throw up my hands. They both wore masks and had pistols aiming directly at me. When they commanded me to put up my hands 1 did so, without loss of time, and told them to go to it. One of them took what money I had in my pockets and the_other fel- low, who kept me covered with his gun, said “‘get his watch.” They did not find the watch, which I carried in a small pocket In my trousers. I observed that ome of the fellows had red hair and the other black hair. I be- lieve they were green at the holdup business, as their voices seemed to tremble when they spoke. — e NAN PATTERSON WEARS CHARM OF MOLINEUX Actress Has the Rabbit's Foot Which He Kept With Him While in Sing Sing. NEW YORK, Oct. 9—Roland B. Molineux, who at the second trial was acquitted of the murder of Mrs. Kath- erine K. Adams, takes a deep interest in the case of Nan Patterson, the Florodora actress who is a prisoner in the Tombs Prison., charged with having killed “Caesar” Young, the California bookmaker. Molineux has been to see the actress in the Tombs and the pretty young woman wears the rabbit’s foot, which Molineux says was his best and ‘ruect companion during the twenty months he spent in the death house in Sing Sing. Headquarters of Company G, Fifth Regiment, N. G. C., Gutted by Conflagration FIRE DAMAGES ARMORY Bravely Carry Out Large Quantity of Ammunition ALAMEDA, Oct. 9.—Fire broke out at 11 o'clock to-night in Armory Hall, the headquarters of Company G, Fifth Regiment, N. G. C., destroying several thousand dollars’ worth of military ecuipment and badly damaging the building. Of the company’s arms only one Krag-Jorgensen rifle was saved. A large quantity of regimental sup- plies, including blankets, tents and clothing in custody of the quartermas- ter. was burned or ruined by water. Members of the company, at consider- able risk, carried four thousand rounds of ammunition out of the burning arm- ory. There were explosions of car- tridges at intervals as the fire ad- vanced, showing that the men did not save all of the shells. Some shelter tents and blankets were rescued. About fifty rifles were burned, as were all of the fittings of the company’s rooms, including furniture, piano, carpets, bil- liard tables and the like. The fire was first seen on the roof at the front of the hall, wnich is on Park street and Buena Vista avenue. By the time the firemen were at work the flames were under good headway. The building is a large frame structure, old and inflammable. The rains helped to check the spread of the fire. It i§ sup- posed a defective flue caused the fire. There was a large auditorium in the main building and the rooms adjacent were occupied by Company G. The company’s loss approxmmates $2500, with $500 insurance. The regimental loss cannot yet be estimated. The building was damaged to the extent of $3000 to $4000. It is owned by the Dr. J. C. Tucker estate. ———————— ACTS LIKE A MADMAN WHILE IN PRISON*CELL | Paolo Angelo, xwuun‘ Trial on Charge of Horse Stealing, Shows Signs of Violent Insanity. OAKLAND, Oct. 9.—With his clothing torn to shreds, stark naked | and moaning like an animal in pain, | Paolo Angelo, awaiting trial on a | charge of horse stealing, was found in his cell at the County Jail this morning evidently insane. Jailers Harry Clark and Percy White watched Angelo closely, but after hours of vigil | saw no signs of recovery, except in- | termittent spells of quiet, when the | prisoner would listen to the pleas of | the jailers to settle down. Angelo was arrested and taken to the County Jail August 28 from Liver- more. He appeared to be rational | until a few days ago, when his con- | versation became erratic. It was at | 8 o'clock this morning that the pris- |oner broke out in his wildness. | Through the night he climbed up and | down the grated doors with the agility | of a monkey. Angelo is 38 years old. Jailer Clark said the man had been thrice an inmate of State hospitals. He will be given into the care of the Lunacy Commissioners.

The Bay Cities Water Company has renewed its offer to sell a municipal water supply to Oakland for -$3,750,000. Its idea is to Incregse its tender of a guaranteed delivery of 12,000,000 sal- lons of water daily to 20,000,000. This is said to be made possible by the ac-! uiation of a large watershed along ‘t]he Arroyo Valle in Alameda County. to be connected with the Santa Clara watersheds already acquired by means of tunnels. The company indicates that it has met with objection urged to its scheme by Desmond Fitzgerald. who made a report on the tender that was presented to the city last year. Fitzgerald outlined the tunneling idea which the company has probably adopted. This second scheme is based upon the same cost as the first one. On the city’'s part will lay the con- struction of receiving and impounding reservoirs and the construction of the necessary service distributing pipe lines throughout the city. The com- pany requires that the’ proper legis- lation shall be enacted by which the scheme shall be submitted to a board of hydraulic and civil engineers. This | board shall make a thorough investiga- tion of the plan and shall say whether the company is capable of fulfilling its guarantee to deliver 20,000,000 gallons a day. If the experts’ report shall be favorable, the company asks the City Council to pledge itself to submit the project to the people at a bond elec- tion. In case the engineers’ report shall be adverse the Bay Cities Water Company agrees to pay the cost of the investigation. No suggestion is made as to how the board of engineers shall be apnointed. . The amended tender comes on the eve of a special meeting of the City Council. which was called for to-mor- row night to consider the question of a municipal water supply. —_———— TO CORRECT INEQUALITIES IN OAKLAND ASSESSMENT Real FEstate Dealers’ Association Ap- points Committee to Investigate Work of County Assessor. OAKLAND, Oct. 9.—The Oakland Real Estate Dealers’ Association at its monthly meeting yvesterday ap- pointed a committee of three mem- bers to investigate the assessment of this city in order to determine whether there ' is any inequality in the assess- ing of property. The members be- lieve that some property is- appraised at full value, while other holdings are assessed for only a part of their worth. The committee has been instructed to investigate as thoroughly as pos- sible the assessments of all classes of property and to report any cases of inequality. The individual members of the association have been asked to assist the committee in its work by reporting any cases of unequal assess- ment that come to their notice when buying or selling property. The investigation will continue until March, when the next assessment will be levied, and all cases of unequal assessment discovered will be brought to the attention of Assessor Dalton with a request for correction. The members of the association believe that they will be able to obtain a much more equitable assessment of Oakland real estate. The members of the committee are Willlam P. Todd, H. B. Belden and Henry Holcomb. —_———————— Oregon Populist Electors.

The Republican party i one good horse; the Democratic party is another: sometimes the corporations ride the one, sometimes the other. In either event, they keep in the saddle. Senator John T. Mo of Alabama is the Nestor of the South in the United States Senate; and if anybody is competent to tell wkat modern Republicans and Democrats are, it is this veteran who has served his State so long in the upper house of Congress. In December last, Senator Morgan declared pub- licly, through the newspapers, that there was no frlcflul difference between the two old parties; that cach one of them rallled against the trusts during a and each be- came servants of the trusts arier the election. He called one the pot and the other the kettle, for blackness. Yet Senator Morgan has to submit to the humiliation of being carried along—obedient, Ipiess, filled with impotent rage—by a lot of corporation agents who have captured the Demccratic party and have prostituted it to the service of the trusts, Consider the case oseph Wheeler, also!

This is so obviously true that 1 only state it as a basis for further comment. In controlling only one of the "‘two great political parties” the corporations might willing to let the fact be more or less known, Mark Hanaa, for instance, did not seem to care, nor did Quay. Both of these Republican managers took a business-like view of the question and compelled the benefictaries of class legielation to put up the campaign fund Becessary to perpetuate the system.
