WHEN some two years ago the
question If incorporating the city
was being agitated everyone of
pubic spirit or enterprise con-
ceeded it to be glOl move but
when difficulties apparen ly insur-
mOuntable were encountered the
matter was dropped entirely and
NJ substitute having practically
the same end in view but which
could be attained bya different
method was dis ussed. That a
plan feasible and ben fic.al could
be carried into execution there
can be no doubt and all that is
necessary to insu e success is con-
centrated effort on the part of onr
citizens. Without the fOrmality
of Incorporating the city which
seems to be the point most objec-
tiOnable; Board of Trustees Sc
lected from different sections of
the town could be elected or ap-
pointed by the citizens of their
respective districts, and these in
turn elect their chairman and clerk
and to all intents and purposes

Terrible Accident
MRS. HARVILL AND MISS ROSA
SMITH JUMP FROM A
MOVING TRAIN.

Last night as the south bound train
was pulling into Ardmore the brake
man called the station when Mrs
Artie Harvill aud Miss Rosa Smith
aged Is, passengers from near Daush-
crty, thinking they would not stop,
rushed to the door and without warn
ing jumped from the moving trail,
Mrs Harvill sustaining injuries from
which she died in a few hours,
while the young lady was Knocked
senseIess and injured painfully about
the neck and shoulders. 1t appears
from the best information obtainable
that the husband of the uutort unate,
Sanford HarvilI, who is a farmer liv-
ing between Davis and Daughertv, in
company with the two victims start
ed yesterday morning with wagon
load of cotton tor ArdmOre aud when
he had got to Daugherty be prevaile Il
upon the ladies to stop there ON ac-
count OF the cold. and made arrange
ments for them to follow on the train.
The train was late and this fact no
doubt led to the fatal accident which
followed. The ladies had never be-
| fore ridden ON train hence were un-
accustomed to the rules and regula-
tions governing their running In
their anxiety to get to their destina-
ton aud probably thinking the train
would not stop, they took the fatal
chances which brought desolstion to
a devoted husband casting q gloom
over his future lie.
Passengers say they noticed the
two when they arose from their chairs
and started for the door but thought
nothing of it. One gentleman was
standing on the rear platform and
saw them jump but not Ill time to de-
tain them. He notified the conduct
or and as soon as the train stopped
he and others returned to the plAc ce
finding the little girl first who was
lying inscnsible about 100 Yards from
Mrs. Hsrvill. The latter was soou
found and every effort made to revive
her but without avail. They were
carried by kind hands and tender
touch to the Commercial Hotel Drs,
Booth, Gardner aud Yarbrough were
called in aud did every thing in their
power to relieve their sufferings
From the first 1t was evident that Mrs
Harvill's injuries were fatal. She lin
geFed until ten o'clock when she pass
ed away in the presence of her grief
stricken husband aud sympathizing
strangers who hsd rallied to the res
cue and assistance. The little girl
Rosa was taken to another room and
made comfortable. She will recover
in . few days. She was an orphan
girl and was living with MIR. and Mrs.
Harvill Mr. Ike Kimbail of Daugh-
erty. took charge of her and returned
with her to Daughcrty this morning
Mrs. HArvilrs remains were shipped
to Dangherty last night. The skull

INTEREST AND ALL.
Treasurer Miller Makes War on
the Interest Due.


the Interest Due.
1t is definitely decided that property
owners who were assessed $1,000 lot
for the Sixth street bridge Improvement
will pay the full amount. including the
interest on the assessment pending the
litigation to resist payment of the
original amount. There were fifty-siX
lots assessed $1,000 each and several
were assessed smaller amounts. Those
whose lots were assessed at $1,000 each
objected, and spent six or seven months
in litigation. The court overruled all
the objections. however, and ordered
judgment for 81, 071.35 against the prop
erty that had been assessed $1,000 per
lot. From one to two months after
Judgment was ordered entered up, Mr..
Refs, then city treasurer, accepted
81. O00 it is said, the original amount OF
assessment, and gave receipt in full.
City Treasurer Miller ordered the prop
erty sold to satisfy the balance OF Judg-
ments and interest up to that time.
Several attorneys who had been con-
nected with the case when 1t had hrSt
been on trial asked Mr.. Miller II ne
would hold the sale until they could
bring action to quit the title. 10 this
Miller aSsented, and for several months
the matter has been in the district court,
vacillating from one judge to another,
and being postponed from date to date.
This morning the case was called be-
fore Judge Willis, and on motion of the
attorney who had brought the suit, was
dismissed. they confessing that they
had no case.
Tie gain to the city by this course
amounts to about $1,000.

WHO IS TO BLAME?
Dangerous Laxity Of Regulations
in Treating Diphtheria
Cases.
Residents in Affected Families
Allowed to Come and Go
at Will.

The increasing number Of diphtheria
cases in the vicinities surrounding the
Madison school IS causing alarm among
families in that portion of the city. The
spread of the disease is attributed to
gross, if not criminal, negligence on the
part Of some few families or physicians
when the malady first appeared, in their
refusal to report to the health depart
ment. Physicians in charge are alleged
to have neglected to have the house
placarded.
Children were allowed to go to school
while the disease was in their homes,
and just to what extent the contagion
will spread it is at present hard to pre-
dict, unless more stringent preventative
and quarantine measures are taken.
Complaint reaches the GLOBE that in
houses where the disease exists the re-
naming children of the family are re-
tanned and allowed 10 play about on the
streets, making it compulsory on the
part of the neighbors to exercise the
stricteSt quarantine of their children.
Such state OF affairs is. OF course, both
dangerous to the innocent children who
are daily thrown in contact with the
disease germs, as we'll as hardship
upon the community.
One case in particular is recalled,
located ON Martin street. A boy of ten
was taken down a week ago Tuesday,
but the house was not placarded until
last Saturday, and the lad died Sunday
night. In the meantime members of
the family went about, down town and
up, as usual, and the remaining small
children were allowed to play about
as much as usual. Perhaps there was
no danger. but the diphtheria sign was
up. and people living in the neighbor-
hood. where there are numerous chill
dren, were worried. Many of them
kept the little ones confined to their
homes. rather than make any trouble
for the sorrowing family. To cap it all
public funeral was held yesterday,
and the friends who attended went in
and out OF the house at will, even with
the health Office placard staring them
in the face. 1t seems wrong to put up
these cards if there is no occasion. If
the dread disease is really in that house
the health office has shirked its re-
sponsibility and must be held answer
able.
