SLIGHTLY SHAKEN.
A GREEN CAR ON THE RAMPAGE.
Miss Emma Muth Thrown Through
Car Window.

Street car accidents are so numerous
in this city that very little attention
is paid to them either by the press or
citizens. But one happened yester-
day which deserves mention.
Yesterday afternoon at about Ills
O'Clock, green car No. So, on the Ave.
nue. e line, jumped the track just
above Crosby street on Austin street.
There were several passengers aboard
most of whom were men
and boys. Miss Emma Muth,
the only lady passenger, was
thrown bodily through car
window breaking the glass, which
cut her severely about the head and
neck. She was also hurt by striking
her head against the ground. She
was taken home in carriage belong
ing to one of the military officers at
Fort Sam Houston.
Her wounds were dressed by DR..
Kennedy, VINO was sent for on her
arrival at her home and she is now
getting along nicely.
The car was coming toward the city
at very rapid rate and at this place
there is q slight curve, which on
striking the wheels went over the
rails, after which it went for about
fifteen feet, nearly capsizipg by run
ming into ditch. Had it went two
feet ia rther, there would probably
have been some deaths to report.
The motor mans name Is joe Dietz.
He was thrown 20 the opposite side of
the car. Geo. Msltzberger, the COZ
ductor was slightly bruised and
hurt his leg. A boy passenger got his
clothes torn up badly aud was slight
ly stunned by the fall. Billy Bishop
and negro cook at the military post
were slightly shaken up and bruised
These curves are taken at q dead
speed and as the wheels of the car
become sharp there will probably be
several more such accidents, and
even worse ones.

The Cold Crystal Crop.

ALBANY. n. Y Dec. "a Prepare
tons for the harvest ting of the Hud
son river ice crop have been cOmplet
ed, and the ice men are merely await
ing severe cold weather, so that they
can begin work. They look for Il g
season to begin within the next tW o
weeks. What it means to fill the
houses along the Hudson, or, in
other words, what the annual crop
of ice amounts to in tons, 70
not generally understood, and has
never been known, except to the large
ice companies of New York city, who
are obliged 70 keep watch each year Of
the total number of tons harvested by
others as we'll as by themselves, in or
der to regulate the market price, and
know where to go in case their sup
ply runs short during the summer. 1t
has been estimated that $780,
tons can be housed in the
12S houses along the river.
To that total may be added
ed by small individual dealers, brew
ers, butchers, and the like, and stored
in small houses away from the river.
I've" IoTh Clly lCo COuipdllcs laho

city, either for reshipment to other
parts, or for consumption there, and
also take from ponds and lakes ad-
jacent to New York, south of POUCH.
keepsie, about 100000 tons more so
that the ice crop of the Hudson valley
south of Albany may be safely esti-
mated at 1000, 0C0 tons. The harvest
ing OF the crop gives employment
each winter to an army of farm hands,
brick workers, canalers and river
men, who would otherwise be uHem-
ployed, and according to the estimate
of a well-informed ice man, necessi-
tstes the expenditure in the five
counties of Albany, Rensselaer,,
Greene Columbia, and Ulster of more
than $3.50, 900 for cutting and housing.
The distribution of the crop during
the summer requires the perman ent
employment of another large force.

Removing the Nations Dead.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 24.-The
work of removing the remains of
Union and Confederate soldiers from
the private cemeteries in the eastern
part of the state to the National
Cemetery at Pittsville, is now in pro-
gress. There are 394 bodies to be
moved and the graves have already
been dug. Most of the remains are of
those who were wounded at Gettys-
burg and died in hospitals. The
little headstones with names and
number which are to mark the Union
dead, have already arrived. There
is neither name or number for any of
the Confederates. but provision will
be made by the National Government
to mark each grave with a little
marble slab bearing the scription
unknown" After the present under
taking has been completed, the gov
ernmeut will begin the removal of
the bodies of five hundred soldiers
buried In Mount Moriah Cemetery.

Burdette on Woman.

Now, woman can do anything she
tries, even to singing bass in her own
quartette of girls, so that weak man
is superfluity in the choir, writes
Robert j Burdette i'll his new depart
ment III The Ladies' Home Journal.
She has harDessed her grace hoops
tandem, and made a bicycle of them;
she rows, she fishes, she shoots, in
somuch that all men, and 1t may be
that some game, fear her shooting
jokel; she weareth her brothers. hat,
and his outing cap; his shirt front,
his four-iH-hand tie, and many things
that are her brothers.. She is stron-
ger than her mother, and can stand
great deal more rest; she Is quite as
happy, and far more independent.
She hangs on to the strap in the
street-car when her mother had q
seat in the omnibus if every man
rode outside in the rain. She gets
jostled and pushed about in the crowd
when some bare headed man, bowling
low, used to make way for her grand
mother. With weary patience she
stands in line at the ticket office;
woe is she If she presume on the priv
ilege of sex to step in ahead of man;
she gets hustled back to her place.
Much she hath gained by freedom;
somewhat, also, hath she lost. She
cannot eat her cake and keep it.
Still, if she didn't eat it, it would be-
come fearfully stale, or somebody else
would get it. And cake is only good
to eat, anyhow. Scarcely would she
exchange her independence for defer
epcs and helplessness. Her loss is
more in form than fact. Men are
more unselfishly chivalrOus toward
her than ever their fathers were; but
this hurrying age CT gallop and gulp
has trampled upon the deliberate
grace and studied elegance of q lazier
day, when men bowed lower and did
less; when men abandoned loatiug
and went to work, they quit wearing
lace at their wrists and rspiers at
their sides; they ceased TO talk In
blank verse, and conversed in plain
prose; they cut off their long ringlets,
and the curling tongs were dethroned
by the clippers.
