A STEAMER'S CRASH.
The Eliza Anderson Runs Into
the &, LS.AL Trestle,
THE TRACK BADLY TORN AWAY.
TrOk fteepe»4ed Oe the Road fer the
Day—The Stealer Set Badly •
DMIUfMi.
During the dense fog which prevailed
yesterday morning the steamer Eliza An
derson, on her way into port from What
com. ran Into the seatUe, Lake Shore A
Eastern railway trestle eiose to the *>arrei
factory and just where J >hn Hoilister's
new wharf join* the trestle. carrying away
six bents or l ! nj feet of the trestle. The
accident happened at 6:30 o'clock a. m.
and passage over the break was blocked
until 5:45 o'clock la*t evening. The dam
age lo the tre-tle wiii amount to SSOO ami
to the at earner JdOOi No one was injured,
but had the accident occurred tire minutes
•sooner the 6:3 d train for Edgewater eoasg
have darhed into the break and no one effi
tell what would hare heen the fate of the
forty person* lb at it earned. From Cap
tain Jackson, ot the Elixa Anderson, the
following deta.t«l account of the accident
wa* obtained.
The Anderson wa< on her way to Yesier'a
wharf. Captain Jackson was at the wheel
himself and the first mate wa< on the look
o it. The fog w*« so thick that Captain Jack
son comd hardiy make out the form of the
mate a< he walked up and down the deck.
Fifteen minute? before the boat struck an
outgoing steamer was heard offtostar
iioiird. Captain Jackson blew two whistles
twice and, receiving no answer, put his
wfctel to -"larboard, intending to make cer
tain of clearing her.
When he heard her pass he altered bis
course so a* to get back to his regular
cour-e. The boat was just about on the
cour e when the mate made out the form
<»f the tre*Ue. He immediately called to
the captain, who rang to reverse the en
gines.
This was done but it was to late to stop
the boat. Her bow struck almost in the
angle formed by the trestle and Hoilister's
wharf.
Into the woodwork the bow of the on
moving vessel crashed. Ties were torn up,
rail* di-pared, l#nw overturned and piles
broken off. The momentum was soon
overcome, and the steamer remained hard
and fast in u>* debris.
As soon as it wu ascertained that the
Anderson wa« not badly injured an en
deavor was made to back her out, but to
no avail. It required the free use of a
couple of axes to free her from the vice
that held her. She was tiu&lly backed out
when she steamed over to Yesler wb«rf.
Nhe was uninjured beyond the stoving in of
her bulwarks and the springing of a few
stanchions.
The news of the accident was soon
brought to the local office of the Seattle,
Lake Shore A Eastern, and at 7:3G o'clock
a gang of men were at work repairing the
break. The #:2O train from Snohomish
was stopped north of the break, and the
passengers enjoyed a walk into town in the
crisp morning air. All of the company's
power was north of the break, and an
engfne and coach had to be borrowed front
the I'll get Sound Shore road to transfer the
pa.«.*engere for the morning train to Sno
quaimie to the train which had arrived
from Snohomish. This train ran to Sno
qualmie and returned at 6 o'clock in the
evening, in time to crosa the trestle. It
left for Snohomish again last evening.
No suburban trains were run out during
th* day, and only mail matter on the
through trains was handled. Traffic will
be resumed this morning.
LAND OFFICIAL* ALL ALONE.

A Well-Known Trstrliaf Xu Charged
With Burglary.
A burglary occurred between 6 and 8
o'clock Thursday evening at the power
hosse of the Front street cable line, by
which John Holland, a conductor on car
No. 5. lost t-iifj.
Holland rcoms in the upper floor of the
power honse m one of several apartments
titled up for the conductors. He kept the
money in the tray of his trunk. This the
thief pried open with a halcket. Settling
else in the room was disturbed, the object
apparency having been to take nothing ex
cept the money, so as to lease tto cine to
the idertily of the thief.
The loss was discovered yesterday morn
ing, about 8 o'clock, by a friend of Hol
land's, who noticed that the iock of the
trunk had b-tn broken. He told Hol
land. who lo?t no time in searching his
trunk, only to find his savings of years
gone.
Holland had his suspicions aroused
against Joseph Charters, a traveling s»a:es
min In the employ of the oil concern ot
Kelly, Dunn & Co.. of Portland, who is
very well known, having been on thiscoait
for years. Charters is a coasiu of J. F.
McCay, superintendent of she line, and he
spends more or less time arouuJ the power
houses whenever be is in the
city. It was this fact, coupled
with some unexplained reason, which led
Holland to believe that Mr. Charters was
the man who took his money, and having
this idea in mind, be spread the report
freely. But subsequent investigation, to
gether with the fact that Mr. Charters is a
well-known business man of good stand
ing, showed bow baseless were his suspi
cions.
Even were it not for the fact of his own
