A Death Dealing Railroad Disaster.
• San Fjiaxcisco , May 31. One of the
most horriblo railway accidents ever
known in California occurred at 1:40
o'clock yesterday afternoon , when the
local train connecting at Oakland with
ferryboats from San Farancisco ran
through the open draw bridge over San
Antonio creek at Wester street , Oakland.
A yacht had just passed through the
draw when the train appeared going in
tho direction of Alameda. The draw
bridge keeper endeavored to close the
bridges , but was too late , and the en
gine with the tender and the first car ,
which was filled with passengers ,
plunged into the estuary.
Engineer Sampson and Fireman
O'Brien went down with the engine.
The former , when he saw that the
bridge did not close , reversed the lever ,
but the momeutum of the engine was
too great to be stopped in time.
The weight of the engine and the first
car broke the couplings and left the
other two cars of the train standing on
the track. The second car ran about a
third of the way across the bridge and
stopped , but the jar was sufficient to I
break open the front of the car , and
many of the passengers were thrown
into the water.
The iir > t car , which had fallen with
the engine to the bottom of the muddy
estuary , soon rose and such of the pas
sengers as escaped therefrom were
picked up by the yachts and small boats
which gathered at the scene. The train
men and the rest of the passengers
rushed to the work of rescue and when
the wrecking train arrived from Oakland
the car was drawn into shallow water
and small boats had begun dragging the
creek for bodies.
The top of tiie passenger coach was
cut open as soon as it was raiseu above
the water and the work of removing the
bodies commenced , thirteen being taken
out in quick succession.
At the morgue the bodies were laid
out as soon as received to await identifi
cation , and heartrending scenes were
witnessed as friends came forward to
claim their dead.
F. F. Finley of San Francisco said : I
was on a front scat facing the engine.
Just as we approached the draw bridge
it seemed to me that the draw was open
and that a fearful accident was inevita
ble. Just then a man jumped from the
engine into the water and then came
the crash. A horrible crushing of tim
ber and snapping of heavy iron work
followed and at once consternation pre
vailed in the car. The next thing I
knew the car was in the water and I
found myself blindly groping for the
door , which I fortunately readied when
that end of the car rose out of the water ,
und quite a number of people escaped in
this manner , principally women and
children. The car was about two-thirds
full when • we left the wharf and I should
judge there were at least twenty-five or
jhirty people in it. There was * a fearful
Jutcry when the car began to fill , but
this was almost immediately hushed by
one long final wail of despair.
The engineer and fireman disappeared
right after the accident and have not
yet been found , so their version of the
accident is not obtainable.
The bridgetsnder maintains he had a
red danger flag up. The trains ap-
proach the bridge around a curve , and
it is possible the engineer did not see
the Hag.
At the Grave of Garfield.
Cleveland , O. , May 31. The Gar
field memorial in Lake "View cemetery
was dedicated yesterday with imposing
ceremonies ( in the presence of many dis
tinguished people from all over the coun
try. The momorial is a colossal struc
ture , towering 165 feet above the emi
nence in the cemetery which overlooks
the city and surrounding country , and
was erected at a cost of 5150.000.
The exercises of the day began with a
parade i of military and civic societies ,
the 1 procession forming in the center of
the ' city and moving to the cemetery , a
d ' : > tance of five miles.
The procession was two hours passing
a given point and was five miles in
length. ] There were at least twenty-five
thousand 1 men in line.
There was but one accident during
the day. Sir Knight James Wemple ,
past commander of the Nebraska divij
sion. Knights Templar , who now re-
sides here , was thrown from his horse
and suffered a bad fracture of the leg.
A vast concourse of people had prej
ceded the procession to the cemetery ,
and | when the exercises began there
were , thousands congregated about the
trreat j stand , on which were seated the
aistinguished guests. ' Ex-President j
Hayes j , president of the memorial asso- ]
liation. presided , and afterAmerica"
had j been sung by a chorus , he made a <

A Cracker Trust.
Minneapolis , Minn. , May 31. The
Journal prints the particulars of the 1
formation of a big cracker trust with a < '
capital of S10.000,000 , including nearly *
jvery prominent cracker maker in the

operation for some time , but this has (
proved unsatisfactory and the trust is \
tne result. It is to conduct the entire
business of the various concerns. Stock
to the amount of 310,000.000 is being !
issued in return for the individusl prop "

a. Noted Pugilist Probably Fatally 1
Wounded.
DenveiCol. . , May 30. At 4 o'clock
yesterday morning Garrett Hughes shot 3
and probably mortally wounded John P.
Clow , the noted pugilist , in Murphy's
Exchange on Larimer street. The two ,
men had been together all night drink- ,
inc. and from what little could be i
'
- -
learned of the affair they had been
quarreling over some trivial matter.
There were but a few men in the saloon
at the time of the occurrence , which
wa * entirely unexpected. It seems that
the men had some trouble previous to
tho shooting and that Clow had knocked
down Hughes , who it is alleged had in
sulted him. Garrett Hughes , who did
the shooting , made no attempt to es
cape , but immediately ru-hed out of the
pool room and gave himself up to an
officer standing near the door. In using
the pistol Hughes did not prove himself
an expert , as he was so excited that he
missed lire four t.ines and only at the
fifth attempt was the weapon dis
charged. The ball entered Ciow 's groin-
but the nature of the wound could not
be ascertained.

Richmond , Va. , May 30. The weatb
here yesterday was clear , balmy and
beautiful. The streets were crowded
with people from out of town and mili
tary organizations which were to take
part in the procession. As the various
commands , reached their starting points ,
with some familiar officer at their head ,
they were greeted with cheers. The
chief marshal , General Fitzhugh Lee ,
Generals Early , Johnston and Longstrcet
received ovations as they mo\ed from
place to place. Shortly after 12 o ' clock
tho procession moved to the monument.
around which the different organizations
were grouped.
The monument is situated at the in-
tersection of two broad streets in the
fashionable residence section. It coni
sists of a white granite pedestal forty
feet high , with six pedestals for the
statues of Lee's generals to be placed
hereafter. Upon the pedestal stands
the bronze equestrian statue of Lee , 1
twenty feet high. It represents Lee t
upon the battlefield of Gettysburg.
While the figure , both < Sf horse and man , "
is j in repose , all theatrical effect being s
avoided ; , it is full of life and spirit. It i
is j the work of Mercie. the French sculps
tor. i i
As soon as the distinguished guests T
were all seated , Go\ernor McKinney , as t
president of the Lee monument assotia-
tion j , arose and called the assemblage to i
order. ( After a brief prayer Governor t
McKinney ; introduced General Early as r
chairman ( of the meeting. He was t
greeted with prolonged cheering. He t
made no speech , but in a few well chosen t
words introduced the orator of the occat
sion , Colonel Archer Anderson. c
Every point of Anderson's address was f
greeted with applause and several times t
he was obliged to suspend his remarks. F
At the conclusion of the address , Gena
oral Joseph E. Johnson drew aside the 5
veil which covered the statue. As it y
came into view a mighty shout went up c
and the assemblage became wild with f
enthusiasm. " "

olution went over. The senate then re-
turned j consideration of the imported
liquor bid , the question being on the
] substitute reported jesterday from the

Against i the constitutional right of con- 1
gross to delegate its delegated powers i
' back to the states. Ir. George sun- j 1
ported the bill. Mr. Eustis said the s-
question i was a perplexing one. The f
difficulty i arose in the attempt to recon- i .
ciie the conflict between the rights of | 1
property ] under the constitution and c
the i laws and that moral sentiment s
known ] as prohibition. To-day it n
was proposed to legislate against t
the breweries and the distilleries of , v
the country. It was proposed to tell j r
the people of Iowa that thev shall have : '
power ] to reguiate commerce between j
themselves and all otner states on : nc
liquor question. After further debate
the bill went over without action. Mr. P
Wilson of Iowa gave notice mat he n
would > ask the senate to remain in so a
sion to-morrow until the bill wad s-
t
posed of. In the hou-e Mr. McKinlcy i
submitted the conference report on the ! f u ,
customs administrative bill. Mr. Mc- I tj
Millin , one of the conferees , said he Lad
declined to agree to the report for the
reason that he believed the bill would ,
increase taxation. Mr. McKinlcy said
the measure was substantially the bill *
remodeled by the secretary of the treas- * '
(
ury during the last three administraq
tions , and that its provisions were prac
tically the same as tho e contained in
the Mills bill. It was a bill not to in- ' w
crease the rates of duty , but to prevent ' q , "
frauds upon the revenue and to protect | n
the honest merchant and honest im- j H
porter against the dishonest importer j j |
