CAUGHT BETWEEN CARS.
A MOTOR MAN BADLY HURT In
A COLLISION.
The Brakes Being Worn Out on the
Cars, They Come Together
On Prospect Hill.

Another Of the many and fearful
street car accidents, now becoming SO
numerous, occurred this morning on
the Lake View line of the San Anto-
MO street railway system. Two cars
met on Prospect hill and collided,
nearly crushing to death one of the
men.
The cars which collided were No.
81, going up, and No. 60, coming to-
wards town.
Frank Serrill, one of the most popu-
lar boys working tor this company,
was running the 81 He saw that
Foster. the car dispatcher on the Lake
View line, who was running the so,
could not stop his car "a 1t was COM
ing down hill aud the brakes would
not catch, so he (Serrill) revers-
ed his own car. but not In time
to save it. The two cars came
together with fearful force and
wedged so tight that they could not
be gotten apart until another car
came up, hitched on and pulled them
apart Serrill was caught between
the cars, being wedged in between
them, and could not be taken out I'M
til the cars had been tax en- apart. His
face was badly cut up, the nose,
chin and lips being nearly
cut off. He was brought TO
town and taken TO DR.. Jones.
who dressed his wounds. The inju-
ries he received are of a very serious
nature but he will pull out all right,
expept that his face ia prObabl
marked for life. The man will be
laid up for some time at least, and
the company could pay his expenses.
The street car company Is more to
blame for the numerous accidents
that happen than the employees, (who
are blamed for them). This company
has the whole city monopolised, as
it takes i'm the principal streets
and consequently charges whatever
1t may wish, as the people must ride
on these lines or not at all.
All over the city are to be seen
poorly insulated wires, or even
charged wires lying on the ground
The rolling stock Is in the poorest
kindr of ODER. There are scarcely six
cars belonging to this COM
pany fiJ to be run through
the city. None of them without greaI
danger TO person and property.
Some years ago should an aeciden
happen Cd q street railway, even In
some distant city, 1t would cause
great comment, but in San Antonio
they are 30 frequent that no attention
is paid TO them, except to arrest the
motor man.

The Evclut OF the H. ndke chief

iO ~ VI VIM ~" NN''h'
From the Dolls DreSsmaker
The authorities are neither clear
nor in harmony as regards the histo'
ry of the handkerchief known popu-
larly in English as the pocket hand
kerchief. The etymology of the name
is nevertheless sufficiently clear. The
last syllable comes from the old
French chief, meaning head, the syl
liable "ker" is from the French cou-
vier. to cover. while the prefixes
hand" and pocket" were applied
when the article began to change Its
medieval use of head covering and
became the aid to neatness and de-
cency which it is at present.
The old French name, couvre-chef,
or chief, came over to England with
host of other French words after the
conquest, and in time became "ger-
chief, (which is long since obsolete in
America, though it may perhaps. be
still heard in parts of England. For
long ages after the Crusades even
women of rank wore the kerchief,
which. after many changes, became
the modern hat or bonnet. But
exactly at what period it began to be
carried in the hand or in the extel Tor
pocket or handbag is uncertain.

CHOLERA MOI FATAL.
DIR. Elmer Tells About the Popular Mis-
conceDtion of the DIsease

DIR. Elmer Tells About the Popular Mis-
conception of the Disease.
NEW YORK, Nov. lin an interview
DR.. Elmer, of Chicago, who arrived in
this city on Friday from Hamburg and
is now guest at the Hotel Savoy, says:
"Cholera is not fatal disease. Those
who regard the lesson Of sanitary living
are not in danger of contracting the dis
ease. The horror of this disease as en-
tertained by the people is largely pro-
duced by mistaken conception of the
nature and progress of cholera and by
the knowledge that, until recently, the
treatment has not been satisfactory.
Could the lesson be generally taught and
understood that cholera is filth disease
and localized in the first few days to
the bowels, and further, could they
be made to see that If the bowels were
cleansed of the filth at the beginning of
the attack, would it not go far to relieve
the black and horrid impression of GER
tain death now universally existing in
the public mind, both in Europe and
America? When worrying and weary
ing torture, produced by an impending
danger, is lifted, it will be easier to sub
due and manage the epidemic. Many
extreme and, indeed, unscientific meas
ures frequently are demanded to satisfy
the fear-stricken, even though they be
remotely separated from the ground of
the epidemic"
In order to be able to teach the lesson
that cholera is not fatal disease, the
experiments were made as soon as the
doctor could reach St. Petersburg, with
results that were satisfactory.
Quarantine at Port Townsend.
PORT TOWNSEND, Wash, Nov. L.
The crew of the American bark Cow
litz, from China, on which there were
two deaths from cholera, has been
placed in the quarantine stockade.
