THE PTTTSBTJUG DISPATCH, SATURDAY, AUGUST 8, 1891.
forenoon and left for the camp about noon.
Conjpany A, of Monongahela City, with CI
men," in charge of Captain "Westcoat, was
the first company of the Tenth to arrive.
Captain James E. Barnctt's company, of
Washiugton, and the "Waync-burg company
came in soon after 10 o'clock, and the sta
tion presented a lively appearance, with
uniformed men flitting in every direction.
TBK GOVEEXOR COMISG T-ODAY.
Adjutant General McClelland will be
present at the encampment a part of the
time only, as his attention is also required
at the other brigade encampments. Gov
ernor Pattison will arrive in Pittsburg this
inorcine and visit the encampment for sev
eral days. During the Governor's stay the
annual inspection will iaKe place, as win
also the dress parades, for which events the
men have made great preparations, hoping
to make a finer record on inspection and a
liner appearance on dress parade than at any
previous encampment. The grand dress
parade on "Wednesday will be witnessed by
thousands of people from this city and
other points who take pride in the If. G. P.
Battery B started at 4 o'clock yesterday
morning for the camp grounds. As the
dii-tance is not more than 18 miles, Cap
tain Hunt thought it would be a
novelty for the artillery men to drive
there. The good people of "Wilkins
barg were startled at break of day to
tee a body of armed soldiers and horses
dragging the heavy guns pass through their
peaceful streets. Visions of war and bloody
raias flitted before their excited imagina
tion but it w as nothing more dangerous
than the civilian battery on its line of
march to the grove. The gunners
bteeied for the Tarentum pike, and they
leached the camp ground befoie the heat of
the day commenced. Captain Lew Brown,
who is a lieutenant in the Battery, was in
hi element, and he said he enjoyed the
horcbac-k ride across the country very
much. So did all the boys, for that matter.
SOCIAL I'EATTRES OP THE CAMI".
One of the features of this encampment
will be the social life. Many of the oflicers
are accompanied by their wives, and ar
rangements have been made to care for
them. Surgeon Wiley, of the Eighteenth
Regiment, thinks Arnold's Grove
will be a plcaant place for
the ladies during the camp, and
he has taken his whole household
with hire. Mrs. "Wiley and Miss Carrie
Wiley, the handsome sister of the doctor,
will stop at the hotel in Kensington They
o-cneot to have a good time, and will ccr
tainlv have plenty of companr. The gallant
young fellows among the officers have al- i
readv blown in tneir salary lor tne ten aays
and more beMde to provide their tables with
dainties for the visitors and friends they
expect. If all so whom the boy have in
vited, they will have their hands full enter
taining thom.
HOW TAST A CnOWD GATHERS.
An instance of the rapidity with which a
large crowd is collected when half a dozen
or so have gathered to form a nucleus was
afforded on South Twenty-seenth street
yesterday. Three member of the Eighteenth
Rerinient were pacing along that street,
end accoutred as they were in full uniform
w ith bayonet and knapsack, they were ob
jects of interest and speculation to
a small knot of awe-struck denizens
of that peaceful neighborhood. It
was just at the noon hour, and
the mills were pouring out hundreds of
v orknien. Many of these were attracted by
the crowd about the soldiers and stopped.
In less than five minutes the "Soldiers
Three" were surrounded by a mob of 2,000
men and boys. tLoe on the outi-ide eager to
see what v.as going on, and unable to do so,
because they couldn't get near the center,
and those in the center tryins to get away.
The men of war stood the ordeal bravely,
and when tile crowd a last dispersed they
marched away with that same old "majestic
tread. "'
Last evening small squads of the militia
c-uld be seen passing through the Union
depot and going to the
?
citv.
People
wondered whv the bovs rame back. They
were armed v. ith guns and tiayouets. and it
-.i s apparent they were not on pleasure
licit. Later they returned to the station,
V.UT their number was increased. They
were the policemen sent out to capture the
stragglers and deserters.
ESCORTED TO THE TRAIN'S.
Somp of the 'oys, haviac been tempted
by Baechiis, had fallen by the wa3-side, and
tl-ev were promptlv escorted bv their fel
lows to the train. Every uniformed man on
the streets last evening had to give an ac
counting or he was told to fall in line. At
one time 13 deserters from the Fourteenth
R-'giment were under guard on the depot
via form. Their guns were stacked, and
they wre lying down with a boldier watch-in-r'them.
The ;iys from the oil country in the
Pift-enth Regiment came down the Alle
gheny "alley read early in the morning,
ami soon had their tents pitched. Colonel
"Willis. I Ilulings, their commander, was
wilh them. Most of the regimnts had to
pass tlirouah Pittsburg to reach the grove.
Captain Ch"-Ter, of the Cn'ted S.ates
araiv and a spcial officer of the Govern-nn-nt,
was in the city vesterday morning,
on his whv to inspect the X. G. P. at camp
Kensington. He is a member ct the Loyal
Lerion. liavirg been a commissioned officer
lor two years auring the late war. Speak
ing of the camp at Devon he said it was
very satisfactory. Kc thinks the Pennsyl
vania regiments have improved wender
1 all y since the riots. Rerardingthe nation
shzation of all the militia he believes it
will never come to pass.

MYL1X SAW 3IAGEE.
The Pittlor: "Leader Friendly to Ibe "Lan
caster Man BU Suppurteri Claim Me Is
Too Mroiij; to IJo Side-TrocUed by
Prop-ilse-i.
St actor Amos H. Mylin, the Lancaster
farmer and candidate lor Auditor General,
regisier-d at the Seventh Avenue Hotel
yesterday. It lra- reported that he went
t" Beaver to consult Senator Quay, but
this was a fake. The Senator came to Pitts
burg to fcc how the Allegheny county dele
gation -tood in the fight. He dined with
W A. Magee in the evening, and then took
a crivc thiough Schenlev Park and the East
End. He had a chat -sith C. L. Magee, who
i- pledged t support him. Altogether, his
prospects in Allegheny countylook very
ros, indeed.
It is claimed that Senator Quay intends to
side-track Mylin bv ottering hirn the Lieu
tenant Governorship three years hence, and
that the ticket will be Price tor Auditor
General and Gregg tor State Treasurer.
James Carson, Beading Clerk of the House,
was in the city yesterday. He said he
thought Mylin and Morrison were masters
of the situation at pre.-ent, and he didn't
think thai Mylin could be appeased so eas
ily. He reasoned if Quay oiiered him the
Lieutenant Governorship it was only
a feeler. The Quay people state
that Mylin is running on the plat
form that the candidates name the
state Chairman and that the Beaver i
t -tesnian will never ocsent to such an
lrrantre-nen. They add also that the sup
port of C. L. Magee will antagonize all the
followers of the junior Senator in the State.
As tor Mylin himself, he is friendly to
M.igee and Quay, and looks for assistance
'roni both. Senator Quay was ill yester
lay, and it is probable Senator Mvlin will
visit him at Beaver to-day. The Lancaster
Jian is hopeiul of success. He is not sure
jf Philadelphia, but he claims most of the
eastern cocnties outside of the Quaker
Cn v. He will aiso be backed bv Alle-
env.
Sir. Mvlin cou'dn'i
be found last evening,
out his lnends say his nomination is ns--ured.
If he is selected for Auditor Gen
eral, then the chances of Morrison for State
Treasurer are very good.

With the Prospects of a Victory
at St. Louis.

Gathered in a Day.
Interest
President "Weihe, of the Amalgamated
Association, came home-yesterday morning
after spending two weeks among Eastern
mills. He did not get to -his office however
until about 2 o'clock. The absence of him
self and Assistant President Garland has
resulted in an accumulation of work that
"will require several days to catch up.
Mr. "Weihe is looking well, and does not
betray any efiects that-the several reverses
the Association has suffered, may have had
on him. Indeed he was unusually jovial
yesterday when a Dispatch reporter met
him.
His position on the Steelton strike,
which he declared off shortly after his de
parture from Pittsburg, has been thoroughly
explained in these columns. The only thing
new that he could say relative to the mat
ter was to deny all the rumors to the effect
that Vice President Gallagher, of the
Eichth district, had sained the ill-will of
the National Lodge officers by his actions at
Steelton. "Mr. Gallagher did his wholo
duty under the law," said Mr. "Weihe
firmly.
SOME DISSATISFACTION EXPECTED.
Mr. 'Weihe shows evidence of fear that
the association will lose a portion of the
membership at Steelton, because they were
not allowed to proceed with the strike as
they wanted to do. "I suppose," said he,
"that some of them will become dissatis
fied. But hey were clearly in the wrong
aad should not have expected assistance
from this office after precipitating a strike
against the decision of the Executive Board.
I explained to their committee when they
called on me that the decision of the Exec
utive Board could not be overruled. They
did not listen to me, but took a vote of the
lodges and presented the scale. "
Among tne other places visited by Mr.
"Weihe while away were Pottsville,
Lebanon, Catasauqna, Pencoyd and Lochiel.
At the last two places strik'es have been in
existence for several months. At Pencoyd
the trouble began in March over a demand
for the scale, and at Lochiel the men are
striking because they are not getting the
Amalgamated price. Mr. Weihe succeeded
in getting the difficulties settled at the
other places, and the only places remaining
where trouble of any importance exists are
Sharpsburg, St. Louis, Pencoyd and
Lochiel.
HOPEFUL AS TO SHARPSBURG.
As to Sharpsburg, Mr. "Weihe said he -had
not learned any ot the facts since returning
home. He thinks the St. Louis case still
hopeful, having just read a letter from that
point stating that none of the union men
are working for Mr. Uiedringhaus. He is
considerably surprised at the action of the
latter in insisting, against the opinion of
Secretary Foster, that he can import tin
plate workers without violating the alien
contract labor law.
"I am well pleased with the manner in
which The Dispatgh has placed this
matter before the public," said Mr. "Weihe,
"and I think you nave sneeeeded in show
ing the public trenerallv the fallacv of Mr.
j Uiedringhaus' position. I have not given
the matter my personal attention during
my absence but other officials of the asso
ciation have, and we will take the matter
up in earnest, now that Mr. Niedringhaus
Mias seen proper to go to "Washington with
the evident intention ot having secretary
Foster reverse his decision. "We have been
working on several people and if necessary
we will go to "Washington with the facts
we have collected and prove to Secretary
Foster who is right."
TIX PLATE "WORKERS Ef T0rGSTOWtf.
"While talking to the reporter, Mr. "Weihe
opened and read the following letter bear
ing on the tin plate controversy:
Yocijgetowj-, O., Aug. 6.
To the Officers of the Amalgamated Association:
Deah Sins Having read a great deal lately
in repaid to the importation of tin workers
under the argument that there are none in
this country, which, I understand, you are
going to disprove, I want to say that I have
two brothers here with myself who have
been brought up in the trade as tin and
washmen. We have worked at it all our
lives. I also wish to state that I havo
w orked the old way as well as the modem
processes. I hae also met scores of tin
w orkers in this country.
Tours truly,
Jom JOE3,
761 Albert street, Youngstown, O.
President 'Weihe and Vice President
Sheehan had a consultation last evening
relative to the Sharpsburg difficulty. These
officials seem well pleased that the citizens
of 3harpsburg have taken up their cause,
and it is confidently believed that an ami.
cable settlement will be reached at the con-
ference announced to be held next Tuesday
evening at 8 o'clock.
"WILL OXLT TALK TO E"ltPLOrES.
Mr. Moorhead has given out, however,
that he will confer with none but his own
employes, which means that the officers of
the Amalgamated Association, who have
been prominent in the proceedings so far,
will not be counted in this time. The com
mittee that has been appointed to meet Mr.
Moorhead are President Biddle, of the
lodge at Shaqisburg, of the plate mill;
Harry Gohcgan, of the guide mill; Thomas
Toung, rail mill, and George Zimmerman.
of the puddling department. There is con- 1
siderable speculation as to the outcome of
the conference. The manufacturers will
not concede and the men cannot. A dead
lock is therefore all that can result.
The men claim now, as the have done
heretofore, that they have no power to do
anvthing more than they have done, unless
it is by the holding of a district convention.
This is rarely done, even in sach emergen
cies. The men still maintain that the only
time for the fixing ot the plate mill rollers'
scale was during the manufacturers and
workers' conference, and Mr. Moorhead, in
support of the position he has taken, avers
that upon the last dav he was at the confer
ence he nearly talked himself hoarse in try
ing to get the wrong righted. The firm,
holds that there are special scales for other
mills. The old employes also claim that if
a special arrangement could be made for the
Vesuvius Mill the Amalgamated Absocia
tion ould be compromising itself, and that
by going back on its own scale manufact
urers generally would lose faith in the or
ganization. LABELING UNION NAILS.
A Neat Scheme to Force Non-Union Manu
facturers Under Union Rule.
A very neat plan has been adopted by the
Amalgamated Association to place what
may be called a boycott on non-union made
wire nails. At the June convention a reso
lution was passed to provide all union wire
nails with a trade mark, the same to be
patented and furnished to all mills working
under the association. As soon as it can be
prepared the mills will receive it. It will
be in the shape of a sticker, and put on the
head of each keg.
Whether this is a blow at the Braddock
"Wire Company or not the officials of the
association refuse to say, but this is inti
mated by others, as the difficulty between
the association and the company has never
been settled. It is said that' this plan has
been adopted in order to make it possible
for all union men to distinguish between
the union and non-union production, and of
course no-stickers will be furnished to mills
that are not working under association
rules.
MR. ABRINGTON EXONERATED.
Assembly No. 6111 Lays "None of the Blame
for Their Trouble to Him.
Local Assembly 2fo. 6111, of the Green
Glass Bottle Blowers' League, met last
night. It was expected that a stormy ses
sion, would be held, as President Arlington
had been announced to be present. Mr.
Arrington did not put in an appearance,
however,.and the proceedings were less in
teresting than they otherwise would have
been.
The trouble about which considerable talk
has been indulged in lately was considered
as announced in Thursday's Dispatch.
The manner in which the offices of the
trustees Louis Edwards, George A. Kam
bach and J. M. Miller had been declared
vacant was explained by one of the officers
who vindicated President Arrington of any
blame in connection with the affair. By a
unanimous vote he was exonerated by the
Assembly. The organization has no trustees
at present, and the Treasurer, Conrad Auth,
is bonded in the North American Surety
Company.
INCREASING ITS CAPITAL.

MAY END IN A SPLIT.
Mr. Neshit Says Southern G. A. R. Men Are
Opposed to the Negro.
A number of "Washington Grand Army
men were at the Union depot last evening
going home from Detroit. In the party
were Commander E. S. Fletcher, Privates
Akcrman, Beed, Durham and Boyd, Cap
tain Daniel Bairett and D. M. Nesbit.
Mr. Hesbit said he believed the race
problem would soon split the Grand Army
into the Xorthern and Southern contingents.
The prevailing sentiment at Detroit was
that where the colored members in a post
are in the majority that they should herd
by themselves, as white men would not be
ruled by them. They have no objection to
receiving the colored brother, but they do
not care to mingle with him in a social way.
There they draw the line, but they are glad
to give him all the other privileges which
the organization affords.

A Despondent Woman Tries to Drown Her
self in the Allegheny.
SNAP SHOTS AT THE TWIN CITY NEWS
Herman -Seivertson, a glassblower, who
resides at 1122 Sarah street, Southside,
seems determined to pawn everything he
owns for beer, and is now in pawn him
self. Seivertson has been enjoying a prolonged
spree in the absence of his wife and family,
who have gone to the country to seek sober
society and a much-needed rest from the
annoyance of the head of the family. Be
ing without funds and very thirsty, Seivert
son pawned Mb guitar and banjo, and
finally carried the rugs from the parlor -and
soaked them for beer. Last evening he
took the bicycle of his 10-year-old boy to
the Smith pawn shop on Smithfield street,
and attempted to negotiate for a small
amount of Deer money. He explained to
Mr. Smith that his, wife was visiting his
mother in New Brighton and exhibited an
alleged telegram, made out in a bungling
way on a sending blank, which read as fol
lows: Herman Seivertson:
Come at once. Mother is dying.
Josephine Seivkrtsow,
New Brighton.
This aroused the proprietor's attention
and he touched the button for Inspector
McAleese, whowent-tothe place and arrest
ed the man with the dying mother-in-law.
Seivertson insisted that the telegram was
genuine, but when he was induced to make
a copy of it the two were identical. He
was locked up, and will probably be very
sober for several weeks.
Among other things told of Seivertson it
is said that his habit for beating his wife is
almost as strong as his appetite for beer.

OLD EULES GOOD ENOUGH,
The High School Committee Refuses
to
Slake Any Changes.
The regular meeting of the High School
Committee of the Central Board of Educa
tion was held last night. Little other than
routine business was transacted. On motion
the committee adopted the old rules to gov
ern the High School. A resolution had
been adopted at the June meeting of the
Central Board requesting the committee to
take into consideration the matter of revis
ing the rules. The resolution was one of the
results of the attack on the High School
Faculty growing out of the Nobbs affair.
The committee decided that the rules did
not need revision, and so adopted' them.
Principal "Wood stated to the committee
that they could prepare to make additional
room at the High School, as the building
would probably be overcrowded as soon as
school-opens in September. No action was
taken.

HEE LIFE A BUEDEN.
A Woman Whose Husband Is in the Work
honse Attempts Suicide.
Mrs. Margaret Coswell, a resident of
Clark street, Eleventh ward, attempted to
commit suicide yesterday by jumping into
the river. Despondency was the cause of
the act. A short time ago Mrs. Coswell's
husband was arrested on a charge of drunk
enness, and was sent to the workhouse. Xes
terday morning she started out with the
intention of paying him a visit at the -institution.
On the way she began to re
flect on her situation. She was with
out money or any means of earn
ing a living, and became distracted
by thoughts of her helpless position.
She was making the journey on foot, and
started at an early hour. About 8 o'clock
she reached Sharpsburg and came to the con
clusion to end her troubles in the river. She
made her way to the river bank a short dis
tance above the Sharpsburg bridge, where
she plunged into the water. The river was
deep at this point, and she immediately
sunk. Some men, however, were near by in
a skiff, and, observing her plunge, pulled to
the spot. They managed to catch her as she
was going down "the ihird time, and con
veyed her to the shore.
She was unconscious when taken from
the water and was taken to a house nearbv
'where restoratives were applied. She final
ly recovered somewhat, but was still in a
critical condition. Later she was taken to
the "West Penn Hospital. The woman is
about 34 years of age and the mother of a
family. Last evening she was much im
proved and believed to be out of danger.

A NEW MUSICAL INVENTION.
Is It an Organ or a Piano?
All the objections to the parlor organ
are at last done' away with by this new in
vention. It has seven full octaves (as
many keys as the Stcinway Grands) and
looks exactly like a fine upright piano.
There are no stops in view, nor any un
sightly bellows pedals, but the instrument
is worked by two pedals exactly like those
on a piano, and a 6-year-old child is able to
work them with ease. The delicacy and va
riety of its tones are wonderful, and the
touch so light and quick that the most diffi
cult piano pieces can be executed thereon
without difficulty. It is a marvelous im
provement on the common parlor organ,and
has created a great sensation in musical cir
cles. The price is not higher than that of
the ordinary organ. H. Kleber & Bro., SOS
Wood street, are the sole agents, and they
invite all, whether purchasers or not, to call
and see it.

BAN ISTO A SIDING.
The Limited Wrecked at East .Pales
tine and One Man Was Killed.
ENGINEER AND FIREMAN INJTJKED.
Both Men Buried Under the Debris, hut-
Are Expected to Eecover.
'PASSENGERS HATE A NABR0W ESCAPE
The east-bound Chicago limited was
wrecked, at East Palestine yesterday morn
ing. The train was going at the rate of 45
miles an hour, and ran onto a siding on
which were a number of empty freight
cars. Elmer Clupper, of East Palestine,
who stepped from the main track to the sid
ing, was caught and instantly killed. En
gineer Isaac Eichey, of Allegheny, and
Fireman "William Carney were caught in
the wreck and badly hurt. The officials of
the road claim they will recover. The pas
sengers were shaken up as they never have
been before, but escaped without much in
jury. James McGarlan, a messenger for the
Adams Express Company, was in the smok
ing car with others. He was slightly hurt
hy a splinter running into his shoulder.
The accident happened in a cut near the
depot, and the freight cars were hurled into
the air.
TWO SLEEPERS LEAVE THE TEACK.
The combination car next to the engine
was a total wreck. Two of the sleepers
jumped the track and rolled over on tneir
sides. The last and fifth car wai the only
one not derailed. Four freight cars
on. the siding were smashed into
splinters. Whether the switch was left
open by design or accident is
not known. The officials think it was a
deliberate act to wreck the fast train. The
passengers were brought over the C. & P.
road, and reached here at 1 o'clock. An
other train was made up, and they went on
to New York.
Jim Coibett, the pugilist, was on the
train. He said the crash was terrible. He
lookeH out of the window and saw the
mangled remains of a man. They worked hard
to get out the engineer and fireman. The
engineer was recovered first. His leg was
badly crushed. The fireman was soon found
under the debris in an unconscious condi
tion. He came to shortlyafterf and refused
to be removed until he was assured that the
engineer was safe.
THE ENGLNEEE BrITJTJ EECOVER.
A telegram from East Palestine, last
evening states that Engineer Biehey was
resting easy, and his physicians say he will
recover. jnreman uarney is severely
burned about the head and body, but will
recover. Anew siding was run around the
wreck at once, and trains are passing on
time, while a large force of men is working
to remove the debris. Officials of the road
were on the scene all day, and say
they propose to make a searching investi
gation into the cause of the wreck, the ac
cepted theory being that some of the night
crews left the switch open. Engineer
Biehey says the switch light was not burn
ing, and he did not know the siding was
open until the train swerved. Had the
light been burning he would have had time
to slacken speed at least. As it was, he re
versed his engine and stood at his post until
the trains met. The officials say their loss
will loot lully MU.UUO.

Bobert Alexander, of the Allegheny po
Uce force, who was formerly a lieutenant,
is laid up at his home su0ering from a
badly battered up head, the result of a row
wfth ex-Policeman Robert Eberhart. On
Thursday Officer Alexander was excused
from duty. Shortly after 6 a'clock Mr.
Alexander got into a row with a man named
White on West Diamond street, and as a
result Alexander was arrested by Officer
Gausman.
He was shortly afterward released on a
forfeit of 30. Some time after this Officer
Alexander met ex-Officer Eberhart on
Taylor avenue and they had a war of words.
Mr. Alexander is allesed to have assaulted
Mr. Eberhart with a billy, and the latter
secured a cobble-stone and began a solo on
Alexander's head.
When they were finally parted Officer
Alexander presented a sad appearance. He
was covered with blood, and there were
several very bad wounds on his head. Mr.
Eberhart was also badly used up. At the
hearing yesterday morning Officer Alex
ander tailed to put in an appearance, and
his 30 was forfeited. An information was
subsequently lodged against Alexander for
disorderly conduct by Officer Gausman.

DEATH TO TIMBEB.
Great Destruction in the Forests of Potter
and Other Counties by a Worm.
rSPZCIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATC1I.1
Haeeisbueg, Aug. 1. Specimens of the
worms which are rapidly destroying the
hemlock forests of Potter and adjacent
counties have been received 'by Secretary
Edge, of the. State Board of Agriculture.
The Secretary gives it as his opinion that
they are the larvte of the larch sawfly,
which, during irregular periods, appear in
great numbers in the forests of Maine and
northern Xew York, and destroy the foli
age of the larches and other trees. The
worms are about three-quarters of an inch
long and very bluggish in their motion.
In regard to the possible future effect of
the ravages of the worm, the Secretary is of
the opinion that, like all other pests of the
kind, it will probably exist in unusual
numbers for the present year and possibly
next year, but after that it will eeate to be
noted as being destructive. Ordinarily the
worm is kept in check by parasites, which
prey upon the worms. Reports from Potter
county seem to indicate the total destruc
tion of miles of timber, but the Secretary is
of the opinion that the trees may put out
another set of leaves.
THREE HOBSES BUENED
And a Southside Stable Destroyed, Shortly
After Midnight.
Three horses were burned this morning at
12:30 o'clock in a stable in the rear of 15
Carson street, together with a quantity of
hay and feed. The building, a two-story
frame, was owned by the Pittsburg and Lake
Erie Railroad Company. The horses and
other contents were tne property of Edward
Walters, the grocer, of 15 Carson street.
There was ?300 insurance on the
horse3, placed with the Mutual Live Stock
Insurance Company, and $500 on the other
contents of the stable, which included five
barrels of molasses and a quantity of gro
ceries. The alarm was turned in by Ofhcer
Terrence Boyle, at 12:25, at which time the
entire stable was in flames. The Duquesne
and !No. 9 engine companies responded, but
too late to be of much service. It is not
known how the fire originated.

CORNERMEN WANTED.
Soutlislders Want as Much Protection
Prom Itapld Transit Carlessness as
Other Parts ot the City Protests Against
the Kate of Speed.
The citizens of the Southside are clamor
ing loudly for better protection against the
engines of destruction in the form of elec
tric cars, which for the past few weeks have
been making such a record of accidents.
The speed at which the Birmingham cars
are run along Carson street is the subject of
complaint all along that and adja
cent streets. Said a prominent busi
ness man yesterday: "It really is
wonderful, the tremendous speed at
which these cars are hurled recklessly along
this street. At the most crowded corners
and in the busiest portions of the day
wagons, carriages and vehicles of all kinds
are knocked about and wrecked and pedes
trians compelled to scurry and dodge about
in imminent peril of losing life or limb.
"The gripmen are not to blame, as they
must make the required number of trips,
and no doubt are as careful and watchfulas
possible under the circumstances. If such
speed is required by the public demand for
rapid transit, as is claimed bv the comnanv.
let cornermen be placed at the more impor-
luiii. jjuuiiB, ua i iuc i-ase uu me otner lines
in the city."
It is understood that the placing of
special omcers at xentn, xweittn ana Seven
teenth streets and at the Lake Erie depot
corner will be a thing of the near future.
A horse belonging to Michael Miller, of
the Southside, became frightened at an elec-
trie
car wime sianaing at tne corner of
South Thirtieth and Carson streets last nisrht
and ran off The buggy to which it was at
tached was completely wrecked and scat
tered along the street. The horse was not
captured, and was last seen at Smithfield
and Carson streets, headed for the West
End.
