"McCARROLL--MAN MANGLED IN FALL UNDER TRAIN--Victim,
Believed to Be A.J. McCARROLL of San Francisco, Dies in Auburn From
Injuries--AUBURN (Placer Co.), April 19 - A man, thought to be A.J. McCARROLL,
died to-day in a local hospital a few hours after having been run over
and fatally injured by a train between Colfax and Cape Horn. He was found
early this morning lying by the railroad tracks, it being evident that
he had fallen from the train while beating his way. Arm Severed From
Body. The victim was badly mutilated. The right arm had been cut off
at the shoulder, part of the shoulder also being amputated, and the left
foot was cut off. The head was badly bruised. McCARROLL died soon
after reaching the hospital, without regaining consciousness. Deceased
appears to have been an office man. He was of good appearance, about 20
years of age. He carried a letter addressed to himself at 1034 Polk Street,
San Francisco, from a girl signing herself "Grace", written in Denver,
Colo. The writer told of attending the Grand Opera in Denver, but shed
no light on McCARROLL's identity. He also carried a bill from the
Postal Telegraph Company, no town being given. The amount was 51 cents,
and the message was for Mrs. McCARROLL, in San Francisco, evidently
his mother. His own address at the time was not given." Source: Sacramento

"McDONALD--SAD CATASTROPHE in SAN FRANCISCO -- The
storm which raged with extra-ordinary violence throughout the State on
Monday night, was destructive of both life and property in San Francisco.
The chief catastrophe which took place in that city occurred at half past
12 o'clock. The brick wall of an unfinished building at Minna and New Montgomery
streets was blown down and fell on the roof of a 2 story frame building,
occupied as a boarding house. The inmates of course were buried beneath
the ruins. The fire alarm was struck and the fire department was of course
soon brought to the ground. The 'Call' gives the following particulars
of the sad affair:
At the time of the accident the house was occupied by
Mrs. McDONALD and 3 children, Mrs. SHERRAY and child, Mrs.
KEENE
and Miss SLOGAN. A large crowd had collected around the building
and the wildest excitement prevailed. The firemen procured a ladder and
ascended to the 2nd story. On reaching the front room and removing the
debris that had fallen, they discovered Mrs. KEENE lying on the
bed. This lady, although badly injured, was alive when taken out, and was
conveyed to the house of a neighbor and properly cared for. Working with
indefatigable zeal, the firemen cleared the back room, a room that proved
to be a funeral shroud. The first object that was reached was Mrs. McDONALD's
infant, which was found on the mother's breast. From the position it was
found in, it is evident that the mother, when she heard the first noise,
clutched her offspring to her breast, but before she could get out of bed
the wall was upon them. The child was taken out and was found to be lifeless.
Mrs. McDONALD, the mother of the child and lessee of the house,
was next taken out and conveyed to the house of a neighbor and a physician
summoned; but it was of no avail, life had fled. In death they were not
parted. John SHERRAY, a son of Mrs. SHERRAY, was next taken
out of the ill-fated building. On examination, it was ascertained that
his side was badly injured, but it is thought not fatally. Miss SLOGAN,
a lodger, was known to be in the house at the time. Among the confusion
and excitement at the time we could not learn of her escape, and her friends
are anxious for her safety. When our reporter left, the body had not been
recovered from the ruins. Two little children of Mrs. McDONALD,
who slept on the 1st floor, heard the noise at first and ran into the street
in their night-clothes, thus saving their lives. The scene in the vicinity
of the ill-fated house was heart-rending. When our reporter reached the
spot, everything was dark and in confusion, every one was running hither
and thither, striving to do all in their power to help the unfortunate
persons who were within the walls. Added to this was the storm still raging,
and as flash after flash lit up the vicinity, it cast a lurid hue on everything
around. The firemen worked bravely, and it is owing greatly to their efforts
that any at all were saved from the ruins." Source: Stockton Daily Independent,

"McDONALD--THE SAN FRANCISCO TRAGEDY -- The catastrophe
at Minna and New Montgomery streets, San Francisco, was more destructive
of life and limb than was at first reputed. 4 persons were crushed to death
and several others were badly injured, 1 or 2 of whom may not recover.
There seems to be but little doubt that the disaster was the result of
culpable mismanagement as the unsafe condition of the walls of the new
building had been discussed the evening before they fell. The 'Chronicle'
of Thursday says: The killed are Johanna McDONALD, aged 37 years;
Mary LOGAN, aged 35; Peter McDONALD, aged 9 months; and Lizzie
SHERRY,
aged 11 years. The last named is a daughter of Mrs. McDONALD by
her 1st husband. Johnny SHERRY who was spoken of as having been
injured, was in a doubtful condition yesterday, he having been more seriously
injured than was at first supposed. Coroner LETTERMAN took charge
of the remains of the killed, and they were conveyed to the morgue and
there laid out. 3 tables were placed side by side, on one of which Mrs.
McDONALD
was place, on the next lay her dead children, and further on were the remains
of Mrs. LOGAN. Soon after 10 o'clock in the morning a crowd of persons
thronged to the Morgue with that morbid desire which is a part and parcel
of human nature -- a desire to look upon the faces of those who have been
suddenly called to that unknown country from whose bourne no tidings are
received, or no traveler returns. The Coroner's Clerk, Mr. O'BRIEN,
then opened the doors of the Morgue and from that time a continual crowd
poured in until evening, when it was found necessary to refuse admittance
to any more. It is estimated that over 5,000 persons, men, women and children,
visited the room in which the bodies lay." Source: Stockton Daily Independent,

were engaged in turning a heavy boiler from one position to another, when
it suddenly rolled over and crushed a machinist named Bernard McDONALD,
beneath it. Some moments elapsed before the unfortunate man could be released,
and when it last this was, he was found to be sriousy injured. He was conveyed
to his home on Howard Street and a messenger was sent for eminent young
surgeon, Dr. MURPHY, who immediatly visited him. The doctor found
the injuries were so severe that they must necessarily prove fatal, but
he did for the sufferer all that medical skill could suggest. The unfortunate
man lingered on until about ten o'clock last night when death ended his
terrible sufferings. The deceased was a native of Massachusettes, aged
thirty seven years, and leaves a wife and family to mourn his death." Source:

the Supreme Court on appeal. Judge McDANIEL, of the Superior Court,

latter opinion would bring about a compromise of the suit, but President
McDonald wound not accede to such a stand. It is understood heart trouble
