DOWN AN EMBANKM
wreck of a worlds Fair Train
Ou the baltimore Il Ohio

CUYAHoGA FALLS. o.. July 25.-The
second section of the Baltimore and Ohio
express, westbound, was wrecked one
mile east of Munroe Falls, about 4:30 this
morning. Spreading of the rails caused
the wreck at a point where there is a
short curve in the track. Five coaches
loaded with passengers, most of whom
were on their way to Chicago, were
thrown down 10 foot embankment.
Nobody was killed outright, but 80 were
injured, five seriously. All Of the MANNED
were taken to Akron by special train
and sent to the city hospital.
1t is impossible to tell exactly what
caused the spreading of the rails, but II
was probably the heavy trains which
the B. &, o. has been running to handle
the Worlds Fair traffic.

why the People of the Peninsula Want
Competing Line.


SALISBURY, ND, Sept 20.-Again the
question Of the proposed railroad ex-
tension connecting the Baltimore d
Ohio railroad directly with Elkton,
Chestertown, Easton and other points
down the Peninsula is being agitated,
and ii is said that the proposed extern
sion is being practically considered by
prominent business men in several OF
the counties rs well as by railroad men.
There is crying demand for more
facilities on this Peninsula and the
sooner there is more competition in the
matter of railroad facilities the better it
will be for the farmers and fruit grow
ers of the entire Peninsula. At present
one corporation controls nearly all the
| lines which traverse this Peninsula and
the people are compelled TO submit to
any rates they may wish TO impose upon
| them.
This fact has been fully demonstrated
this season. Fruit growers have been
compelled to pay freight charges which
are absolutely beyond all sense of rea'
son, and these charges have been SC
excessive that the entire profits of the
melon business have been absorbed to
pay them. This week melon grower
in Wicomico received returns from
several cars of melons, the gros:
sales of which amounted to 1851. From
this the grower received u check fol
$191 as his net proceeds The frcigh
charges were $513. This ought to bI
corrected. Something must be done TO
the relief of the people or the bushes
of growing fruits and vegetables will b
thing of the past. All efforts to induc
the railroads to give relief seem to hay
failed, and the next best thing to do
to push the matter of increasing facili
} ties by building competing line dow
J the Peninsula.
1t is well-established fact that com
petition not only gives better facilitie
in the way of more rapid transportation
but also lowers rates. An extension Q
the Baltimore g. Ohio down this PENN
sula will bring relief to the oveI
burdened people, for then the one CON
pany which now has monopoly of th
, trade will be compelled to lower rate
or lose the business.

President William NJ. Candy and the
Threat of Certain Members of Council
to go Back on the Park Purchase.
Councilman James p. Ratledge, of the
Twelfth ward, gave notice Thursday OF
the introduction, at next meeting OF CITY
Council, of an ordinance resembling the
existing ordinance authorizing the Park
Commission to acquire for the city that
section of land bounded by Van Buren, and
Adams and Wawaset street and the race.
IL measures about 800 by 200 feet, aud cost
SlI,O63. Councils authorized price was
$4,000. The assumed reason for the in
PRODUCTION of the resembling order is that
the Park Commissioners exceeded their
authorized expenditure by the sum of S63
Mr.. Candy was seen last Friday. lie
said he would prefer not speaking on the
matter Just now, as the ordinance in refer
ence to resembling has not yet appeared.
There are two points, however, which
Mr.. Candy referred to In his conversation,
or at least to which the reporter asked of
him some expression. The first was his
position in regard TO the definite authorizes
| lion to make the cash bargain. The reply
was that II has been consummated follow
| ing large meeting of the Park Comm is
| sioners, at which meeting the project was
endorsed. Again 1t was accomplished
with the approval Of the City Council
| finance committee. OF course there is nc
question as to the expenditure of Sl1,0Ot
for the purchase. The sticking point i;
merely the small item OF S63.
In commenting further on the proposed
resembling ordinance, Mr.. Candy pointed
out the fact that in his opinion and in tina
of numbers of officials in different de
partments, the land under question is {
plot that the city absolutely needs. ut il

more so, for that lot to be under the juris
