COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.
bridge Contracts Delayed Rcmon-
trance Against the Citizens.

rance Against the Citizens.
The bids for the bridge over White river
at First street, which were TO have been
opened by the County Commissioners yes
terday, were not opened on account OF the
illegality of the advertisement, which had
not conformed with the provision of the
law requiring that the advertisement
should be made for at least six weeks pre-
ceeding the opening of the bids. The COM
missioners decided to readvertise for bids
and make the advertisement conform TO
the law.
A petition was received from twenty
property owners in the vicinity of the
Michigan street bridge demonstrating
against the commissioners granting the
street car company the franchise they are
seeking to cross the bridge. The remon-
strants claim that it will interfere with
travel across the bridge.
The commissioners also opened bids for
furnishing stationery for the coming year.
The contract will be awarded later.

But Failed to wnken Engineer KIcinert aud

The Investigation which is being made by
Superintendent Ohlhausen OF the Central
Railroad OF New Jersey OF the accident on the
road. which occurred at White House last
Wednesday morning. has developed facts
which are exceedingly interesting.
There was what railroad men call a rear end
collision OF two freight trains. Twelve cars
were wrecked and u quantity OF valuable
freight was damaged. The first train. which
was coming east. reached White House about
3:45 o'clock. and stopped at the water plug to
get a fresh supply OF water. Rear Brakeman
McDevitt. according to regulations. started
yards west of White House. and before turn

and the locomotive was running wild. There

and McDevitt did it.
Standing by the side OF the track. he waited
until the locomotive was abreast OF him. and
then hurled his lantern through the window OF
the cab. The crash startled the brennan but
did not arouse Engineer Kleinert from his
profound slumber. Tho locomotive, No. 300.

stands on one side OF the high boiler and the

A REMARKABLE DERELICT.

It seems that there is now drifting about
the Atlantic a vessel with cargo valued ut
$4,000. A most remarkable circumstance
in connection with the c,aft is that it has
been drifting about for nearly two years, and
has travelled a Hist ance Of about 1900 miles,
TIL vessel is the Wyer G. Sargent aud she
started on her voyage from ..Laguna with a
cargo Of Mexican mahogany III the month of
March 1921. She got dismasted in q hurri-
cane, and her crew were saved By a Norwe-
gian vessel. The Wyer g. Sergeant is q YES
sci Of $50 tons register, and since her aban-
donment she has been passed twenty seven
times by various ships The last time she
was sighted was on the 18th October BY the
steamer Asiotic Prince, about 900 miles from
Bermuda. Her decks were then awash, but
the bow was well out Of the water, and it is
said there We're little or no alteration in her
condition since she was abandoned until She
was last seen. She showed no sign s.of break
up, and il is probable she will drift about for
a long time, unless she is cast ashore some
where. The Hyer e.. Sargent has twice.
crossed the Gulf Stream in her derelict state,
and was known to be at one time within 250
miles Of Bermuda, and at another 500 miles
from the Azoles.-St. Thomas, Bulletin.
