MOIORNEER AT FAULT*
A Terminal Train Crashed into
a Garvanza Electric
Car.
E. A. FYKE W4S KILLED.
I'll* Passenger Met Hi* Death by Jamp
ti.g- In I 1 rout of the I.oeomotlv*.
Others Slightly Injured.
\,ae man killed, an nnknown lady in
jured and 25 passengers frightened aad
badly shaken np, was the result of a
railway accident at 6 o'olook last even
ing.
The acoident ooeurred at the crossing
of tbe Los Angeles Terminal railway
and the Los Angeles Consolidated Elect
ric railway on Pasadena avenue, jnst
across tbe Arroyo Seco.
IMb trains were heavily loaded with
passengers and were coming into the
city. At the crossing tbere is a long
bend in the line of the electrio railway,
making it necessary to oross the Terminal
track.
SO SIGNALS*
It has been tbe custom of the eleetrie
car men to rnn their trains across the
track without flagging, and last evening
no variation was made by tbe motor*
neer. It was shortly before 6 o'olook,
when many people were returning from
Pasadena. Most of the passengers were
from Garvanza. Every seat waa taken
and the platform waa crowded.
STOPPED ON THE CROSSING.
It is quite evident that the motornesr,
Frank P. Abbott, did not sse tbe ap
proaching Terminal train, which was
running at right angles to the eleetrio
lar. Some say that jnst before the
ilectrio car reached tbe crossing Conduo
lor Alvord signalled the motorneer to
itop, and be checked op so slowly that he
an the car directly on the traok, and
itopped. Then it was that he realized
his position and managed to clsar the
track by throwing open tbe motor.
Meanwhile the passenger train was
rushing toward tbe oar. The passengers
became panic stricken. Those inside
who conld see the headlight's wild glare
shrieked and jumped from their eeats,
expecting in the next moment to be
crnshed toneath. Women and children
became wild with excitement aa tbe
rapidly approaching engine came closer
and closer. It seemed as if the electric
ear wonld never move.
The passengers on tbe rear platform
were belter situated. They could see
tha relative positions of both their
avn aud the approaching train. They
were all ready to jump in case an acci
dent was unavoidable.
but ths motorneer, realizing his aw
ful position, was moving np. The Ter
minal train was within 30 feet of tbe
electric car, when several of tbe pas
sengers gave a leap. A lady jumped out
upon the track and dragged herself off
ju it in time to save her life. Her ankle
n tis sprained.
>. A. FYKE KILLED.
Less fortunate wae E. A. Fyke. He
bad boarded the car at Uarvanza
witb Miss Percy, whom he was escorting
to the Arosde depot, preparatory to her
departure for San Francisco. Tbey took
v stmt in the car, but its condition soon
became so crowded that he gave it up for
tbe accommodation of a lady, who sat
down by hie friend. He stood on the
rear platform, oa the opposite side from
which the Terminal train was approach
ing.
Boon after the elderly lady jumped
from tbe other side of tbe oar, he leaped
to the ground, and alighted in tbe middle
ol the Terminal track. Before be could
regain himself it was all over. Tbe loco
motive struck tbe corner of the car
and tore away a part of the Beat
and end. A second later it struck
Fyke. He was knocked to the ground
end shoved along tbe track for 20 yards,
and was finally thrown out to the right
b) the locomotive.
A MASS OF BROKEN BONES.
Engineer Cross of the Terminal stop
ped iiij train immediately. As he had
the emergency brakes applied, the train
did not rnn four earlengths after strik
ing 'he man.
The train backed up and tbe appar
ently dying man was carefully laid in the
baggago car. He appeared as a mass of
broken bones and laoerated flesh. He
sustained a compouud fracture of both
the right and left legs; the left hand
was cut oil'; compound fracture of the
lelt hipi the left ear torn in two, besides
several scalp wounds and cuts and
b/ulaes.
US WAS READY FOR DEATH.
Fyke did not lose consciousness, and
when transferred from the train to tbe
station kt First street, preparatory to be
i'ig taken to tbe receiving hospital, he
t.tiked freely ol tbe accident.
The dying man said that while tbe
motorneer was somewhat careless, he
LiMfs.ll was to blame in jumping in
Mr 'it of the engine. He said tbat be
• is a Christian; that he knew he was
■ lying, and that he bad bsen prepared
i r death lor months. His dying state
ment «»a pathetic in the extreme.
IN THE KKCEIVING HOSPITAL.
Mies 1 eicy, owing to the crowded
condition oi tbe car and to the excite
ment,, did not dltoover who the injured
i iion was until the electrio oar was
■ ily in town. She supposed that Mr.
!■ ke was safe and that be was still on
IM rear platform. Her grief was piti
ii when sbe found that it was her
{ lead who wan injured.
iho police ambulance conveyed the
lying man to tbe hospital where Dr. T.
1.. Hnrnett, surgeon of the Terminal
■ ..ilwav. Police Snrgeon Bryant, and
X ilwea burgeons F. K. Ainsworth and
i;. S. Dales attended bim. Bat it was
Lv uv. He died at 10 o'clock, set
rounded by bis father, J. L>. Fyke,
mother, brothers and sisters.
Fyke was a young carpenter and con
tractor of Garvaaza and was an old res
ident of Garvanza. His father built lbs
Gsrvsnza bets!.
THE BNUINBEB'S STATEMENT.
As to who Is to blame in tbe matter
remains to be seen, though the motor
man was careless or waa laboring under
a misapprehension regarding the cross
ing. The Terminal company does not
have rules for tbe trainmen to watch
aud alow up for crossings of street cars,
while tbe eleetrio oars should have.
Conductor Judge of the Terminal was
at the rear of the train when the acci
dent ooeorred. He did aot see it,
though Engineer J. H. Cross and Fire
man Bryson were in the best position
to see the whole thing. He said to a
reporter for The Herald last night:
"We were about 300 yards from the
crossing when I gave the station whistle
and on looking ahead, saw tbe electric
ear moving slowly down toward it. We
were then running, perhaps, 25 or 30
miles an hour, but I set the emergency
brakes, and on reaching the crossing
had a speed of only 15 or 18 miles an
hour.
"Tbe oar bad the appearance of slow
ing down to a standstill right on tbe
croesing, and I again signalled. The
bell was ooastantly ringing. It looked as
though a very serious aeeident could
not be avoided, so I set my brakes and
prepared for the worst. It was certain
ly a miraealoue escape from killing at
least 20 other people. I have run on
the road as engineer for 10 years and
never bad an aeeident before." •
Fireman Bryson stated tbat he was
ready to jump, for be thought a terrible
accident had happened.
J. F. Walker, of the firm of Garrett A
Walker, Stimsou block, was of tbe opin
ion tbat the motoneer was to blame.

Chino, Dee. 21.—There are already
eight thousand acres rented for beet
land, more than double tbe number of
acres harvested laet season, and seven
thousand eight hundred acres of grain
and, bo that there will be, with land
owned by farmers and land yet to be
rented, over sixteen thousand acree cul
tivated on the Chino ranch this seaeon.
In addition to the beets raised here
tbe faotory will receive crops from a
lane outside acreage, having contracted
with farmers in San Barnardino, Ana
heim and severcl other plaoes.
This large tonnage to be reduced will
necessarily lengthen the campaign and
the sugar company will probably build
silos orstorage bins of large holding ca
pacity, enabling thetfarmera to harvest
and store their beets in oaee of an early
wet season interfering with field work
and in oase of beets wbich have ripened
and are in danger of inverting or losing
sugar if allowed to remain in the
ground.
Experiments have proved that siloed
beets do not lose in sugar nor very
heavily in weight.

UNITY CHURCH.
Yesterday morning a sermon on Tbe
Hong of tb* Angels at Christ's birth was
preaohed by tha pastor, J. 8. Thomp
son, taking tbe words from the revised
version, "Glory to God in tbe highest-,
and on earth peace among men in whom
He is well pleased."—Luke. 2:14.
The song of tbe angels contains the
gospel in brief. It assures ns tbat God
is worthy of onr highest praise, beoatis*
He is all-wise, ali-Dowerful and all-goed.
'This is surely good newa for tbe whole
human race. The Jews, the Greeks,
and Romans, believed that God hated
men, and that sacrifices must be offered
to Him to pacify His rage. Animals,
birds, fishes, captives and children
were sacrificed to make the gods friend
ly to man. The Roman, the Greek and
the Protestant churches teach tbat
God oould save no aoul without
tbe shedding of Christ's blood. God
hated man, made an eternal ball for
him and will laugh at tbe everlasting
agonies of countless millions of his own
children. No demon conld have a worse
character. Mary's son was not tbe
whole of God, and he never said tbat be
waa j but he would certainly be a mil
lion times better than tbe God whom
Cbristiandom pretends to adore. Rut
God ia neither mad, nor cruel, nor arbi
trary in the angel's song. The divinest
angels of the higheßt beaveus worship
him for his goodness. He does not need
to be reconciled to man, for he never
harbored any spite against his children.
According to Paul, "God was in Christ j
reconciling the world to liiin- ,
self," and "we pray you iv
Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to
God." Tbe divine purpose oi Chrijl's j
mission, as declared by the angsla. ia to
induce man to be reconciled to God, to
examine his dealings with man end to
appreciate his love; to make himself
right instead of attempting to make the
Infinite Goodness n tit. The revivalist
tramps who prey uuorj communities,
telling thotn that God hated Christ
a while just, to glorify a pagan plan of
salvation, who make unthitiking pnop'.e I
hysterical by saying: "God given yon a I
chance only when I am around," repre
sent the Almighty as a being having all
the worse features of a savage tyrant;
and tliey call this horrible uu°presetita
tion of God a gospel. The angel*'
message declares peace among men !
and nations The root oi all evil is
ignorance, the mother of prt-j idler,
hatred, persecution, and all tin, tVhtfp
ignorance ia removed, good understand
ing arises among Gcd'e children niton
tarth. The measuge is a prophecy ol '
that realized knowledge which wii i
make meu like Christ. We hnve the
angels' word for it tri.it God is well dis-
I posed towards us. The angels could not
I effectively preuou the gospel to the
i world, l! must be htc.rnated iv Jetna.
jlt must declaro itself iv a life and iv a
i character. The world must sea it in
fleeti and bio .d. We must see it light
successfully with ill* evils in liliy
When God wills to give the world « '
tbe graud thought in science, ar , i
; religion, politics, he lodgse it iv
mind of a genius. Abraham, Moses,
Moses, Christ, Paul, Xnvier, Aquinas,
Luther, Chunuing, Weslef, Calvin.
Booth, Washington, Angelo, Shake
speare, Bismarck, O'Coonel, Tols
toi, Tetsle, and thousands of other cele
brated names, are canes ol incarnations
of God's plans and words in various de
partments ol civilization. We hope
that a Moses, or Washington, may soon
be born in America to lead the well
balanced people out of the Egypt oi
political and social confusion and sin,
into tbe promised land ol juatico, order,
law and peace. The gospel in poetry,
music, architecture, society, home and
character was dmrussed. The angels'
song came in the poetry and music of
tbe heavens—tbe grandest song that
earth ever heard.

BBTHEBDA PRBSBY I'KHIAN CHURCH,
Rev. J. W. Newell preaohed an inter
esting sermon yesterday morning on
The Coming Kingdom—Psalms ii, 12.
Rev. Mr. Newell spoke in substance as
follows:
In this little drama is portrayed the
whole history of tbe world.
First the legions of fallen angels in
rebellion against the power of God and
leading tbe world In rebellion.
Then God declaring himself the ruler
of the earth and Satan appearing as
usurper of that dominion.
The turning of tbe world into a mighty
battle field, in which the primal lssus
is whether Satan or the man of God
shall rule the nations of tbe sons oi
men.
Thus far the flag of rebellion seems to
be ascendent; the followers of Satan
have successfully usurped tbe supreme
power, tl.ey have returned Victorious
from every battle field.
God selected His own peculiar people
and Bought to retain dominion over
them, but Satan led Israel into revolt.
The Son of Man was sent to redeem
the lost kingdom- but tbey scoffed Him
and persecuted Him and crucified Him.
Tbe church grew large and powerful
through worldly methods, and the devil
took his court into the very church of
God itself, and tbe wondering world be
held tbe strange spectacle of the Church
of God arrayed against the followers of
Jesus.
Then tbe reformation oame, and for
a little time the dominion of Jebovah
seemed 4n ascenden y. but infidelity
followed and Satan still sat upon tbe
throne and laughed.
Thus the battles have been lost and
won, and today, although tbe followers
of Jesus are many and valiant, be ia
not king. The princs of darkness is still
usurper of tbe throne of the living God.
