MILWAUKEE,, WIS, March 1.-The bodies
of seven mechanics employed in the car
shops OF the Chicago, Milwaukee and st.
Paul road at West Milwaukee, are lying in
the morgue, mute witnesses to the crimi-
Eal carelessness OF a switchman.
They had just finished the days
work in the shops of the company
and were returning to their homes in the
city on what is known as the 'workmen's
train together with about one hundred
and seventy-fve or two hundred others
crowded in TWO coaches. The train IS due
at point near the union depot at AGO
O'Clock, as is also the Watertown local
passenger train for the accommodation
OF suburban Presidents The working
mems train was running on parallel
track When the local reached Eighteenth
street it ran in upon the switch, short
track connecting the parallel tracks.
The trains were running side BY SIDE

giueer could reverse the engine had crashed
into the center OF the slowly moving
trainioad Of mechanics. Occupants of the
coach had no warning OF the impending
danger, and in an instant were being ground
between the sides of the overturned car and
the cinder-covered road-bed. One car was
demolished and two overturned. The

The News gets into Fort Worth this
morning at 5:45 O'Clock, and will continue
to 90 this hereafter In the process of even
and symmetrical development this is the
fulfllment of promise made on its birth
day. October /, 1855, that it would cover the
north half of Texas during the sweet and
dewy morn, Just as the south half is sIIni-
larly and successfully covered by the Gal
weston News. The News keeps an eye on
railroad centers, and has had IN eye on
Fort Worth with its many roads for some
time. A morning paper of Fort Worth says
the News had TO go 70 the Fort to get TO
some roads, and that paper is right The
News is the Leading general newspaper in
Texas, and from now on gets the benefit of
all railroad connections in Texas, including
Dallas with its dozen or so roads and two
special News trains out of the same, Fort
Worth. Denison, Sherman ana the rest.
This is in line with even and symmetrical
development, for the News can be bound
by no narrow policy. 1t is conducted for
everybody that wants the news, under
standing and preaching that the upbuilding
Of every part Of Texas IS the advancement

IN the Dallas city convention it was
proposed to indorse Mr.. Mills for sena-
tor. Some one made the objection that
the delegates were not charged with
the responsibility of choosing senator
and had not been elected on that issue.
1t was conceded to be well founded.
An adjournment was taken, and the
delegates as a mass-meeting, represent
ing themselves, considered the resolu-
ton. 1t was declared to be carried,
against a storm OF noes and without di-
vision. THE GAzETTE's protest against
the election of a senator as an incident
of municipal politics seems to be strik-
ing in.

WHEN THE GAZETTE urged the city
to make needed public improvements,
this paper used the argument that if
the city would show faith in itself by
erecting public buildings, individuals
would follow. Work has hardly begun
on the public improvements at last pro-
vided for and already it is announced
that three handsome store houses are
to be erected, and work on the mag
nifcent hotel at Arlington Heights and
the brewery additions is well under
way. Fort Worth Is in it.

''FoRT WORTH is all right" says
Mr.. Whipple, who has had money in
vested in this city, and now seeks to
give it manufacturing plant that will
employ 300 operatives. Fort Worth has
the trunk lines and is now working to
augment the numbers of its tin bucket
brigade. Truly said, Mr. Whipple,
Fort Worth is all right. Trunk lines
with little help from the people will
win.

a DECISION by Federal Judge Allen
at Springfield, Ill, that the interstate
commerce act does not apply to ship
ments between points in this country
and points in Canada is a material
limitation of the law. One phase Of
the matter that may prove vexatious
is the possibility, if this decision is up
held, of evasion of the law along the
northern border by Shipment into
Canada and pretended reshipment.
There would appear to be no obstacle
to this unless it is found in the custom
laws of the two countries. The Cana
dian Pacific, which parallels the bound
airy line, is an important factor in the
making of American rates, because of
the branches and connections by which
it reaches the distributing centers on
the American side. Il is thus enabled
to demoralize rates at will, and TO ex-
ert an influence upon tariffs throughout
the entire Northwest.

BUMP ON THE RIVER.
The Ferryboat New Brunswick in
Collision With a Cattle
Barge.

There was collision between the ferry
boat New Brunswick and the cattle barge
Newark this morning. The New Bruins
wick left her slip on this side at 6:55.
The sun was shining brightly. When
near midstream passengers on the decks
of the ferryboat were suddenly startled
by the close proximity of the barge, which
came bearing down upon the ferry boat
from the direction of the Abattoir.
The barge was laden with cattle. There
were several hundred passengers aboard
the ferryboat. Those in the forward
ladies' cabin were startled by the excited
injunction of deck hand to rush aft.
The signal four bells. the strokes of
which were given in rapid succession,
to stop and back, added
somewhat to the confusion of
the half panic stricken passenger. They
had left their seats, however, and q mo.
ment later a crash was heard directly
beneath the seats which had just been
vacated and some of the fleeing passen-
gers We're thrown almost off their feet.
Both boats had reversed their engines,
but not in time to entirely avoid the COL
lision. The head of the barge had swung
under the guard rail of the ferryboat.
The deck rails of the barge were borne
away and the cattle were piled In pro-
miscuous heaps by the shock. Fortu-
nately no one was hurt, and the damage
to either boat is not great.

place for all the solids in the Paterson
sewerage. In summer the surface of the
river at this point is covered with very
thick scum and Inspector Leake said
yesterday that he had no doubt but that
there was solid filth at the bottom of the
river three or four feet thick. The place
has never been cleaned out. The quanti-

There is still another danger that
threatens the purity of the Passaic water.
The proprietors of the many large fac
tories along the river claim that If the
lawsuit brought by this city against Pas
sale results iu a victory for Passaic, they
will have the same right that city Will
have to empty refuse into the river. ln-
spector Leake said that recently he had
received many complaints from people IN
this city concerning the condition OF the
water, and as a temporary or slight relief
he had recommended to the Street and
Water Commissioners that hydrants be
blown off,
