Knocked Them Down a Pit

Yesterday afternoon at about 5 o'clock
avoidable accident in the boiler rooms of
the electric light works on Villeta street.
The accident occurred, as was told the
reporter, by some of the wOrkmen, while
testing one of the new boilers. A thin
pine plank was fastened over the opening
of boiler pipe, and when the steam was
turned on, the board was handled as
though it was paper and the hot steam
escaped, scalding four men. A couple of
them were somewhat bruised by being
knocked down into pit near by and one
of them J. Z. Gordon, was severely scaId-
Ell about the legs. Drs. Kennedy and
Watts were called in to attend to the
wounded men and report them as doing
well

Some Good improvements.

The Springs park is now in the incest
condition, geographically, that il has
been in years, and the city administra-
ton should be given due credit for this.
There are few more alterations to be
made yet however. such as removing that
old unsightly, red rusted bath house from
over the crystal spring and putting up a
neat little pagoda where cool water could
be had from tin cup; raising the walk
out of the water line on the south bank of
putting in lights in the western grove
coming from the Flores street car depot

AT THE SPRINGS.
More oratory Flung to the Breeze.

Yesterday the crowd attending the
Mexican tiestas at San Pedro Park was,
if anything, greater than the first day.
The programme did not vary, consisting
of more music, more oratory and more
dancing.
There were no fireworks, no salutes and
no rows. The restaurants and lunch
stands Wed with the beer saloons for pa
tronage and the other cent booths kept
up their records. There is a very notice
able falling off in the number of lottery
stands compared with previous years.
The programme today is about the
same. This is the last day this year and
the street car mules are glad of it.

New YORK Dec l5.-The great concern in
Wall street to day was the conference of rail

by an intimation of strike in the event
of the company's refusal to grant the
desired increase. The demand was
made upon General Manager Earlng,
at Chicago. and very little could be
learned about it at the Milwaukee
Offices of the road, as General Superin-
tendent Collins is out of the city. No
answer has been made to the men, but
it's thought that in the present unset
tied condition of railroad affairs their
chances of getting an advance in pay
are not very good. 1t is claimed by the
company that its engineers and liremen
are already paid as well as those In the
employ OF other roads. The engineers
are paid at the rate of 40 cents
per mile and 100 miles constitute q
days run, So that an engineer earns
OH an average, S3.70 day. When an
engineer has ten-wheel locomotive he
is paid 10 cents day extra, which
brings him up to 1896. The average pay
of fireman is $3.50 per day. There are
employed on the st. Paul system about
1860 engineers and nearly the same
number OF hremen. A st. Paul train
hand said the brakemen and all other
trainmen would ask for more pay, OF
rather for a readjuStment OF the present
wages. Now, he said, if train is de-
layed and does not make its usual run.
the brakeman has to stand proper
tionaIe lUss of his daily stipend. The
men want, he said, To be assured a GER
tain amount daily, regardless of delays
or of the mileage travelled.
