THAT BROKEN AIR-PUMP.
The Judd-Daroux Rumpus Investiga
ted by the Trustees.
Daroux is Exonoi'nted by a Unanimous
Vote of tho Board—Testi
mony of Engineers.
The squabble at tho Water Works be
tween Chief Engineer Judd and Third
Engineer I>aroux was examined into last
evening by tho Board of City Trustees.
It was a one-sided affair, as the Chief
Engineer offered no evidence, and had
little to say himself, while on the other
hand Daroux was quite active in looking
after his interests and in producing wit
nesses.
OPENED WITH A>" OBJECTION.
Judd hiid secured the services of Attor
ney 0; W. Baker, but Daroux looked
after his case himsolf. When the inquisi
tion opened Attorney Baker objected to
tho wholo board hearing the matter. He
said that under the provisions of Section
11 of Article 141 of the charter charges
of this character should be brought be
fore the Superintendent of the Water
Works alone, instead of the Board of
City Trustees.
Mr. Conklin, the Superintendent, said
that the matter had not been reported to
him until very recently, and ho had not
had time to make an Investigation. He
preferred now that the other members of
the board would hoar the matter with
him.
This course was decided upon, and the
Investigation proceeded. The charges
made by Chief Engineer Judd to tho Su
perintendent were first read. They were
as follow-,:
A. Oonklln, Superintendent of the Sacra
mento €!Uy Watir Work* —DEAB Sik: I hereby
charge K. A. Daroux, Third Engineer, with
neglect of duty on the morning of August
22d. First, in not reporting to me that one of
thi Solly pump valves had given out; se<-
oiul, it l.s !il,v opinion that the breaking of tht,
urns on the Steveaa air-pomp was al<o [doe to]
■egleet, by not being property oßed, as the
sh:iit and bearings showed that (hey bad ran
dry. Joseph jcod.
jupd's statement.
Mr. Judd was sworn and ho reiterated
tho r«tatoment made in his communica
tion to tho Superintendent.
Daroux then asked tho Chief Engineer
a number of questions.
"What is your business?" was tho first
interrogatory.
"I'm a mechanic," was the reply.
"Arc you an engineer?"
Attorney Rakor objected to this ques
tion, lie said that Judd was not on trial,
:tut i Daroux had no right to follow such a
line of questioning.
Daroux said he would not insist upon
an answer. He then produced several
newspaper clippings, containing state
ments derogatory to himself; and alleged
to have been made by Judd, and ex
hibited them to Judd.
"Did y<m say all ibis to the newspaper
inon?" asked Daroux.
"No, sir."'
"You didn't?"
"No."
"Well, now, you do say that it was duo
to my carelessness that tho arm of the
air-pump broke, do you not?"
"No; 1 said that was only my opinion."
"Well what, in your opinion, consti
tuted that neglect?" asked Daroux.
"It showed neglect. It had not boon
oiled."
"What had not been oiled ?"
"The bearings of the shaft."
'* Well, there are several shafts—which
oik- (i«> you mean?"
"The main shaft of the walking-beam."
""Thou you say that the cause of the
break was due to neglect in regard to oil
ing the bearings of the shaft ?"
"Yes, but I don't say who did it. But
you were on watefa when it broke."
"You were on watch during that day,
until I o'clock, when Mr. Kenwick came
on duty?"
"Yes."
"Was there anything; the matter with
the air pump then?"
"N<>, it was all right."
"Had it been oilod."
"I don't know, but I think ithad been."
DABOCX'S CONFIDENCE.
Daroux next wanted to know if, just
before the last election, Judd had not said
that if the "same old crowd" was going
to bo in the Water Works again ho diil
not care to I*. 1 there.
Attorney Baker objected to this on tho
ground that it had nothing to do with tho
present charges.
Daroux then made a speech. He said
that lie knew be was going to bo exoner
ated of the charges preferred against him.
Ho was that confident of the showing lie
could.make. He wanted everything to
come out, though, and would insist upon
gun:,' into the details.
"Well," said Attorney Baker, sarcastic
ally, "probably we are not so well-in- \
formed as to what the decision of this I
hoard will be."
Daroux said ho was not informed
either, but ho know he was innocent.
THE DEFKNBB.
Mr. Judd Raid be had no further evi
dence to offer, SO Daroux opened his side
of the case.
His first witness was E. M. Luckett,
Genera! Foreman at the railroad shops.
Mr. Luekett said lie was familiar with
the Stevens pump and with tho air-pump.
In answer to questions from Daroux. he
said he did not think that the break could
possibly have occurred through neglect
Of oiling during an eight-hour watch. If
there had not ben a drop of oil DUtOU
the bearings In eight hours ho did not
think the arm would break. In his opin
ion the arm began to break from the tune
it was pat in. It was an accident that
was liable to happen at any time* even
with the best <>f cai •■.
Stephen [Iron, foreman of tho black
smithing department at thr. shops, said
that he had examin< d the broken arm and
hud found » iiaw m it. These fractures
often began verysmall in m/c and m
i with the constant vibrations of
the machinery.
Mr. Daroux next called George Wells,
tho blacksmith who welded the air-pump
arm when it was brok< m once before. He
.-:tiil there was a llaw in tho iron at that
M. B. Horn, formerly engineer in the
Water Works. \va- the next witness. He
Raid be did not think that the arm of the
air-pumpoould bare been broken through
I in filing the beatings. There
other causes that the break oould
have been due to. In his opinion tho
break was caused from the injection valve
being left too far open.
Ex-Trustee Wolf stated that while he
wns Superintendent of the Water Works
th« arm of the air-pump bad broken sov
eral times. Hie causes were various. In
nion the arm, in this instance, did
ak through not being oiled.
Thomaii Taylor, an engineer of twenty
one years' experience, said that while ho
di 1 Dot know much :>.!>oiit tho situation
of the Water Works' air-pump, he did
ilieve the break ovid have been
brought about through Lack of oiling.
William Lohmeyer, who "fires" dur
ing Daroux's watch, said that the latter
was on duty at the time the arm was
broken.
"You are sure I was not over at Dill
man's saloon or loafing at the Police Sta
tion, are yon T" said Daroux.
"You were in the engine-room."
KN..IN 1 KB HKNWHU.
Engineer lU-nwick. who relievos Judd
at I o'clock In the afternoon, and ism turn
joli'-\^-1 by Darouz at ndduight, w;l^
next called. Darouz exiilained that he
wanted to prove by this witness that tJie
valve Hi th< Holly pump was ont when
he (Renwick went on duty, so that it
must have been displaced during Judd's
watch. Renwick ibrgot to report the
matter to Darouz when the latter came
on watch, but rejiorUsd it to .Indd the
next day.
Mr. Renwick testified substantially to
these fa«'ts. It v. as »; o'clock in the even
in;; when he discovered that the valve
was out. Continuing, Mr. Renwick said
thai the arm <>! the air pump had broken
three times to hia knowledge. It had

broken once when ho was on watch, and
whon Mi-. Judd was Chief Engineer.
"Did Judd bring any charges against
you, or run to the newspapors with the
yarn?" asked Daroux.
"No; he did not," replied Renwick.
When Renwick hail finished Daroux
announced that ho would close his case,
unless the Trustees or Judd wanted to
hear some more testimony. "I can get
500 witnesses if you want them, and will
give me time," he said.
All hands said they had heard enough.
Judd then denied that he had ever hoard
anything about the valve from Renwick.
The latter had not reported the matter to
him.
Daroux next had himself sworn. He
wanted to say somothing in regard to that
valve. When ho came on watch ho did
not discover that anything was wrong,
but at 8 o'clock in the morning when he
started the Holly pump, he found that
tho valve was out. The next night Reu
wick told him that he had forcotton to
report it to him, but said he nad told
Judd about it.
HAD ITEAKD ENOUGH.
Daroux then stated that he would
liko to have the board investigate the
publishod charges alleged to have been
made by Judd, to the cirect that there
was too much politics about the Water
Works, and that Daroux was tho real
Superintendent, and not Mr. Conklin.
"But Mr. Judd says he didn't say all
that," said Mayor Cornstock.
"Well," said Daroux. "we will put Mr.
Sheehan, the Bee reporter, on the stand,
and sec what he says. 1 would like to
have Mr. Sheohan sworn."
Attorney Baker objected and Mr.
Conklin said he did not care to hoar any
more testimony.
Trustee Mclaughlin thought that, inas
much as tho charges had become public,
they should be investigated.
Mr. Sheehan was then put on the wit
ness stand and testified that Engineer
Judd had said to him substantially all
that Avas published. He said he was not
unfriendly to either Judd or Daroux. and
did not solicit the interview.
This cloned the investigation, and after
Attorney Baker had made a statement in
Engineer Judd's behalf, Mr. Conklin
moved that the charges be dismissed and
that Daroux bo exonerated.
Mr. McLaughlin seconded tho motion
and it was carried iinanimouslj-.
"WHA' FOR?"
A Remark that Brought Cjxm Chon
Long ft Hoodlum's Wrath.
Yesterday morning a Chinaman named
Chon Long, employed In a wash-houseon
L street, between Third and Fourth, came
into the Polico Station with blood flowing
from two ugly wounds in his lace. Ono
was on the left cheek, and the other on the
right side of the head about throe inches
above the eye. City Physician Nichols
was summoned and dressed tho wounds.
The assault, it appears, was committed
by a white man, whoso name the police
could not learn at the time. Ho and two
companions wore pawning by the wash
house, when he took a notion to throw
a missilo into tho liou.se. It struck and
broke a crockery bowl, and the China
man came out to remonstrate with.the
man. The latter drew a pistol and struck
him two blows with the butt end of it,
knocking him down. Both blows lace
rated the flesh.
A complaint was sworn to charging
John Doo with battery, and the police
wore hunting for him at lust accounts.
It is said that tho wielder of the pistol
was one of the special officers in the em
ploy of the State Capitol Commissioners,
whoso appointment last winter was a sur
prise in political circles, as several reputa
ble citizens were urged for the place by
the loaders of the Republican party. Ufs
name is Charles McCarty. aud one of his
companions is named (Jreen. Another
report is that one of McCarty's associates
hit the Chinaman. But whichever of the
trio it was, tho police should have no
difficulty in rinding him—indeed, they
should all be held to account for the as
sault.
After tho assault upon the Chinaman
the same parties beat a defenseless China
woman.
RAISIN RATES.
The Now Tariff Makes* a Reduction in
Eastern Shipments.
Raisin packers arc pleased that thojifiw
tariff sheet, adopted by the Transconti
nental Association,will go into effect early
enough to be of benefit to this season's
crop. It will {jo into force ou tho 21st
inst. It will make several changes in the
various classes of freight, but the most
important is the cut of 5 cents on the
raisin rate. It is dropped from £1 ">5 to
SI ,rA) per hundred. This is what is tech
nically designated "postage stamp" rate,
applicable to freight for all through
Eastern points from California terminals.
The reduction, seemingly small, means
about £10 saving of transportation
charges on every carload of raisins sent
East.
JUST IN TIME.
The Whisky Exploded Before tho In-
surance Hud Expired.
At Old Elk Grove yesterday morning a
barrel of whisky in George Ottman's
store exploded, and damaged tho place to
the extent of several hundred dollars.
Nobody was injured, although several
persons were in the store at the time.
The explosion was caused by a lighted
match being thrown into (ho open bung
bole of the barrel by Ottman's little boy.
It Hoenw that the insurance on the store
was to have expired at noon, and ottman
started for this city to have it renewed.
The explosion ai:d firo occurred soon
after ho left home, and the insurance was
still on the goods.

IT WAS THE HEAT.
No Doubt as to the Cause of the
Railroad Accident.
An Investigation Shows That One of
the Halls Was Warped by
the Intense Heat.
Yesterday Messrs. Curtis and Wallace
of the Department of Maintenance of
Way of the Southern Pacific Company
made a thorough inspection of the trestle
and track near Webster Station, whore
Monday's cad accident occurred to the
San Francisco train. They reported the
result of the inquiry to Division Superin
tendent Wilder at Oakland, through
whose department the California Pacific
branch is now managed.
General .Superintendent Fillmore also
visited tho scene of the disaster, and has
made a statement to the San Francisco
press, and it appears therefrom that tho
accident was caused, as first supposed,
by one of tho rails having been sprung
by the intense heat that prevailed on that
day.
"I am of the opinion," says Mr. Fill
more, "that the accident was cansr-d by
the expansion of a rail. Heat was to
blame and nothing olso, as far as I have
discovered. When rails expand so much
that they touch at tho ends and then keep
on swelling; one of them bulges up at tho
middle. A train passing over such a
bulged-up rail has a tendency to push it
sideways, that being the only direction
in which it will give way. I This practi
cally amounts to spreading of tho rails
and lots the locomotive down on the ties.
"In this accident the expanded rail was
oil" the trestle-work, and it was there that
the engine and cars wero derailed. The
engine ran on the ties probably7oo feet,
and for most of tho distance dragged the
train with it. The throwing of the cars
from the trestle could have been avoided
if the engineer had immediately reversed
his machine and tried bis best to stop. If
this had been done the train would have
been stopped before it would have boon
possible for a cur to get over the guard
rail and into the ditch.
"The engineer, however, is not to be
blamed, for when he felt tho can drag
ging and realized that his engine was off
th" iron he made up his mind that the
trestle was going down. He did just what
would have been proper under the cir
cumstanoes—polled the throttle wide
open and put on the air-brakes. His pur
pose was to make the cars drag so heavily
that the engine, by an extra effort, could
break the coupling and get away from the
train to a place of safety, when the
coupling broke, though, tho four cars
wont off the trestle.
"Noamount of track inspection could
have prevented the accident. Tho trestle
is new and strong, as is proved by tho
fact thatjit stood the strain that was put
upon it, and does not now nerd repairs.
The rails were also in good condition and
well laid. <>n the whole, tho accident
was ono of those unforeseen occurrences
that no power on earth could avert.''
CAUSED BY A LAMP.
The Residence of Major W. 1. Wallace
Burned Last Evening.
The two-story frame dwelling of Major
W. I. Wallace, in the block between
Sixth and Seventh, 0 and P streets, was
almost gutted by tiro and water last oven
ing.
Alarms were turned in simultaneously
from boxes 12 and 13, and the engineer at
the Water Works being in a quandary,
sounded No. 14 on tho whistle. The de
partment easily located the lire, however,
as it brilliantly illumined tho sky in the
vicinity.
In a very short time three lines of hose
were stretched, and the firemen made
short work of the blazo. In the mean
time several persons rau into the lower
rooms in the house and succeeded in sav
ing some of the furniture.
The upper story was entirely con
sumed, and the lower portion of tho
dwelling badly damaged by fire and
water. The department worked with
promptness and efficiency, thereby pre
venting the Humes from communicating
to several houses and barns that were in
close proximity to the orio burned.
Tho tire started in the upper story.
Mrs. Wallace and tho children were
down-stairs, when they heard something
fall on the floor overhead, and before
they had time to learn what had hap
pened, one of the rooms was in flames.
Airs. Wallace says there was a lighted
lamp on the table, and the probability is
that it exploded.
Major Wallace estimates his loss at
about $3,000 or $3,500. He is insured for
only §1,000.
Hundreds of people gathered at the
scene, and thoro was considerable con
fusion in tho streets and on the side
walks, the electric lights not having yet
been lighted.
AN OLD TRICK,
But Newly Plnyod by a Low-Down
Thief.
one of the many thieves in tho city
yesterday played an old game at an M
stroet residence. He came to the front
door as if in hasto, and to tho young lady
who answered the boll he brusquely
said:
''I want the sacks for the coke!"
"What sacks do you mean ?"
"Why, (he sacks to bring the coke in
that has been ordered here."
Supposing tho man to be a coal-yard
employe, he was directed to go to tho
collar and ask for the sacks of a servant
there, which ho did, and went off with a
load sufficient to keep him in beer fora
day, at least.
Three hours later the rascal returned,
and was met by tho same lady, and in
the same brusque manner he exclaimed
to her:
"I've come for them coal oil cans."
"What cans?"
"Those in tho basement."
"What do you want them for?"
"A special purpose. It's all right."
"Well, you can't have them until tho
master of the house comes home." There
upon the thief ran to tho basement, seized
upon all the oil cans he could grasp, and
ran oil' by the rear yard entrance. Ho
was pursued a short distance but dodged
ami escaped.
The fellow is known and the people of
the house arc resolved upon his capture.
The occupants of tho residence are pre
pared to identity him and unless ho
has already skipped, the meanest kind of
a thief will be jugged presently.

STYLISH FALL WRAPS.
Our importations this season of Ladies'
and Children's Wraps are of such a
varied character that in the space at our
command we can only note the more
prominent features. In a general way we
wish to call attention to the fit of all our
garments —the low price goods being cut
on quite as perfect models as those at
higher prices.
Stylish Walking Jackets, of various
rough-finished cloths and tweeds, at $4,
$o and $7 50. Some genuine novelties,
copied for the most part after foreign
styles, are shown from $10 to $25. As
only one or two of these jackets are alike,
those who buy virtually get exclusive
styles.
Long Newmarkets and Cloaks of all
kinds of woolen cloths, silks, plusnes,
trimmed in a countless number of ways,
range in price from $5 to $37 50.
For dress occasions Short Wraps still
hold their own, although the fall styles
present many new features in shape,
trimming, etc. Short Silk Wraps, $12 BO
up" Short Silk Plush (or Sealette) Capes,
£5 to $25. Long Silk Plush Cloaks, $25,
$30 and $37 50.
