will accomplish complete revolution
in that branch of manufacture. Until
the present it has been possible to pro-

of Miss Warren. Miss Mary Thompson.
Messrs. Chas. and Frank Skies and John
Hermes had been enjoying the skating on
the pool above the government dam and
had returned to Hampton when it was
proposed to cross the river, and the
underts King was at once attempted
Charles Skies was skating and pushing
a hand sled on which was seated Miss
Jennie Warren. When Just in the cbans

through into the river. The current is
swift at this point and in an instant the
young lady was swept under the ice and
lost. Frank Skies was but short dis
lance away and broke through q. the
same time. The two boys managed to
hold on to the ice and call for help. Their
compsn ons were powerless to help them
on account of the nature of the ice, but
their cries brought help from town with
ropes and poles. and the two boys were
rescued after being in the water over
twenty minutes. The catastrophe cast
gloom ever the entire community where
the young lady was great favorite. She
was seventeen years of age and daughter

sided with her ag, d grand parents, Mr.

The ARGUS believes. as it has endeavored
to show, that the interests of the business
part of the city as well as the remote dis
tricts which these two routes lead to re-
spectively. will best be- served ny action
by the council favorable to both. The
electric line from Eighteenth street and
First avenue by route heretofore
mapped out and via new Fifth and a
half avenue between Twenty>thir and
Twenty fourth streets reaching the Fair
mount terminus of the Central company's
line, would be advantageous to the city.

which the Holmes people ask on Nine
teenth street between Second and Third
avenues, on Fifteenth street between
Third and Fourth avenues and on the lat
ter avenue to Fifth street-over which
route the Holmes people already have a
conditional right of way-and on Ninth
street Il Eleventh avenue.
The council, it is believed, will con
side- the importsr ce of both these pro-
posed lines, and let each have its en-
courage nent, and it is to be hoped
that any efforts heretofore announc-
ed or sprung at the last mo-
ment by one company to antsgonize the
other. will be promptly and properly dis
posed Of by the council. The ARGUS
does not believe the electric folks have
any use for. or any right on Fourth ave-
nue. below Fifteenth street, and it does
not think it would be right or just to
give two different companies right of
way there
