The death of the subject of this sketch
has previously been mentioned in THE
News, but we love to honor the memory
of an honest man. Years ago Alex
made over his little farm to his mother
and went west to fight the battle of life.
He stayed few years in Texas and then
went to Arizona Territory, and eventu-
ally took up land in the valley of the
Pila, making his home in Florence.
After arduous labors prosperity began to
crown his efforts, but that fatal disease,
consumption, demolished all earthly
plans. He suffered for more than thrt e
years and died the 3rd of August 1898,
and requested that his home be sold for
for the benefit of his mother. He was
ever thoughtful of his mother and his
sisters, writing often to them and shar-
ing his means as long as his health per-
mitted. Among the letters of condo
lence to the family, a Macon, Georgia,
friend said of him: "There never lived
more honest, upright man in our
midst" Another said: 81 have met
but few men signature Jas generous and
charitable as Alex was" A writer
from Pleasanton, Texas, says: "He was
among us several years; we all loved his
cheerful presence, and when he left fer
Arizona he left snot an enemy behind
him." Among the Arizona letters, one
said: II knew him for years, he was
generous to a fault; too generous and
kind for his sown good" Another said
s'Be was a sober, industrious man, a
good citizen and comm anded the respect
of all classes of ourapeople. His success
in life was sure had not death blighted
all his prospects" Evena a Mexican,
who could scarcely write English, sent
a few lines in memory of his friendship.
Through communications ato the family,
they have hope of his eternal salvation
The writer and Alex were reared neal
each other, went to the same school and
we've intimate friends from boyhood to
manhood. and knew him to have most
lovable disposition. Arizona soil never
rested above a more sincere and honora-
BILE man.

A Trust" which is Popular .

There is a great deal of Indignation
felt against trusts. The sugar trust, the
standard oil trust, the Welsh tin plate
trust, the English salt trust, and other
combinations of the kind, are vigorously
denounced, and 1T is subject of con
troversy whether there are more trusts
in England that America, and whether
protection or free tlade fosters them.
But there is one form CT trust against
which no one has anything to say. That
is the trust the public repose in Hoods
Sarsaparilla.

Still Trading.

The edict is still in force all along
the republican lines, to trade. The
exposure of the bold attempt to insure
sacrifices for McConochie in the Sec
ond ward created great consterna-
ton among the Millerites. but it is
only on par with the attempted
manipulation OF the other wards. In
the Sixth ward the McConochie-Mil-
Ter contingent was caught in an at
tempt to tamper with the the candi-
dates on the republican ticket in be-
half of McConochie. One candidate
affected went to McConochie with
the matter, and the mayor, to his
surprise, sat down and cody ex-
planned that the manipulation was
the work of Koehler. who was expect
ing to profit by securing the election
of certain candidates on the demo-
cratic ticket.
Yet while the mayor was thus
maligning Koehler. the latter was
licking the hand that was striking
him.

WRECK ON THE ERIE.
Two Freight Trains Collide, But
No One Was Injured.

A serious collision occurred on the Erie
road at the foot of Tenth street, Hoboken.
little after eight O'Clock last night. Two
coal trains collided, both going in opposite
directions Engine All, drawing thirty
three loaded coal cars, was manned by j.
J. Kinney, of Jersey City, conductor, J.
Brereton, of Passaic engineer, and ]. Cutler
OF Jersey City, fireman. This train was
bound for Weehawken. Engine 276, bound
east, and drawing fifty empty cars, was in
charge of Conductor W. McKimby, the
engineer being Joe Brown, and the. fire
man J Lewis, Lot Port Jervis. The en-
gineers did not see each other until within
about twenty car lengths, They reversed
their engines but two late to avoid the col
lision. All hands jumped for their lives,
and, luckily, no one was hurt The en-
gine of the west bound train was COM
pletely wrecked and three loaded cars
were thrown from the track. Nine empty
gondolas were also wrecked. Travel on
the West Shore and Erie was blocked
for over an hour. Then the
thenWest Shore track was cleared, and the
Erie can run thereon. The cause OF the
accident was due to the carelessness of the
operator at West End. He should have
sfgnalled the west bound train to side
truck the other side of the tunnel till the
cast bound train had passed.

DANGEROUS PEST HOLE.

Box Sewer on Coles Street Collapses-
Danger of typhoid Gu tbreak.
A horrible condition of affairs was
brought to the attention OF the City Health
authorities this morning. DIR. Keating re-
ported to Health inspector Benjamin that
the box drain in Coles street. between
First and Second streets. had COLLAPSED,
and that the houses on that street were in
such a dangerous condition that an out
break of typhoid fever was not only an
immediate possibility but a probability
Health Inspector Benjamin promised to
give the matter his prompt attention.
A reporter for THE JERSEY CITY NEWS
visited the locality this morning. Dr.
Keating had only half told the story The
neighborhood is in an awful condition. In
some of the houses the stencil is so bad
that even the dirtiest class of Italians have
moved out.
All of the houses in the vicinity are ten
ement houses. When the drain caved in
all the sewage began to flood the cellars in
the vicinity The stencil soon became un-
bearable. Many of the cellars are now
flooded with foul smelling sewage. It ap-
pears that DR.. Heating had patient in the
very neighborhood and was thus made
aware of the condition of the houses, One
of the residents in this yicini ty said to the
reporter.
IF the Health authorities do not take
some action here Immediately there will
be an epidemic of some kind. The sewer
caved In yesterday and the cellars soon be-
gan to till up. DR.. Keating has done the
people in the vicinity great favor by re-
porting the matter as soon as he did.
The condition of the neighborhood is
certainly alarming and calls for immedi-
ate action on the part of the authorities,

ship, A. McCallum, which, while on a
voyage from London for New York, was

Cunard Line steamer Servia, in an inter-
to the story. He says that the Mccall

was kept going Nt rpg1fnr intervals. At
about three O'Clock In the morning, when
the shinwas IN latitude 40 north longi-
tude 60 west, or about 240 miles from
Sandy Heck, the Servia rushed ont Of
the fogbang and came bow on into the
McCailum, smashing into her quarter
aud cutting her pIanklng and tlmbers as
though they were match sticks.
White learned after reaching the
steamer that no one on the SSrv,a heard
the McCallum's foghorn or saw anything
sighted lying directly across the steam
er's bow. Even then the sailing vessel
could not be seen distinctly, though some
OF her lights were visible. IL was too late,
however. to stop the momentum OF the
steamer, though her engines had been

White was asleep in his room aft when
the collision occurred. He was awakened
by the shock and rushed on deck. The
McCallum was even then settling, and he
did not nave time to run to the bows OF
the Servia, which were more than three
quarters Of the way through the hull OF
the McCallum. AS the ship foundered
White was thrown into the water, where

MIR. Hedley. a saloon passenger on the
Servia. states the passengers were arous-
ed by the shock of the collision, and ran
on deck without taking time to dress.
There was naturally some little excite
ment, but not the slightest symptom of a
panic. The crew obeyed orders rapidly,
and the Servia's boats were lowered ip
the promptest manner. Mr.. Henley ad ds
that to him it appeared as though the
Servia had cut entirely through the Nc

shortly after she was struck.

with existing ferries, and to use electric and
other power for the operation of said roads; and
also 20 erect poles on certain roads streets and
avenues for the purpose of stringi ing wires
thereon necessary to operate thereon railways
with the trolley system
assume from the wording of your resolu-
tion that it is the intention Of your board to
substitute percentage on the gross earnings
by way of partial compensation for the use of
the streets of Jersey CITY, instead of the made
quate mileage rate contained in this ordinance.

tertained by the public generally.

inadequate.
