Committee IS IN A OUANDARY.
Does Not Know What Action to Take
With Regard to the Grade
of SHETLAND Street.

The approach to the proposed Lin.
den street bridge from the Swetlnnd
street bridge to Seventh street. which
has been thorn in the sides Of coun-
ellis and the joint streets aud bridges
committee for several months. was
considered by the committee again las /
night, but without definite conclusion.
Chairman Thomas and Mem6e Mau-
ley, Sweeney. Regain, Lauer, Ross and
Battle sweltered and argued over the
matter for an hour last evening aud
finally adjourned after deciding to lot
the matter rest until the Linden street
bridge IS under way or completed,
Several members assumed that the
Obeyance OF 30 important a question
would iuvalidate the issuing or bridge
bonds. but it WAS more generally as
sumed that the present approach from
Seventh street to Sixth street fully pro-
tected such possibility.
Ia accordance with Il resolution OF
councils, the city engineer had prepared
and submitted to the committee u
drawing showing the established and
proposed OF . per cent. grades. The
present established grade Of 10 8 per
cent. to the Swetand street bridge at
Ninth street is considered impractical
and the proposed grades might so dam
ngs property owners as to also be i'm
practical. That Is the view taken by
tue committee.
The per cent grade would occasion
an 8 foot flliug, or the per cent grade
i IL foot filling or bridge at Eighth
street. The per cent grade starts
from the present established Seventh
street grade. while the per cent grade
would incur an Sfoot fill Mt this point
Property owners, chiefly Finch & Son
and e Robinson's sons. are disposed to
oppose either of the proposed grades or
10 ask heavy damages.
A viaduct from the terminus of the
bridge at Sixth street TO Ninth street
ives considered by tho committee. Mr..
Phillips explained that such an ap-
proach would, at rough estimate,
cost $50. 600. which, together with The
price of condemned land, would make
the expense too great to be under
taken.
The committee may decide finally tC
recommend the establishing Of an pei
cent. grade.

The train loft Pittston on tins and
was heavily loaded with passengers.
1t was due at Avoca station at 6 81 D.
m. The train was pulled by engine
No "a Engineer Jonu Lingfelter, OF
Carbondale, was at the throttle, and
Conductor John Harvey, of tBo same
city, was in charge of ths train.
About 40 feet below the Avoca
depot the train came to a stsndstill and
III short while the excited population
Of Ayoca crowded arouud tho train.
Engineer Eiugfrlter while Glowing
up the train noticed something wrong
with the steom chest Investigation
proved that something was loose anG
out of ordor in the cylinder, aud the
train was backed to = siding, where tht
cylinder WIS taken apart.
A bolt on the piston had become
loose, and the trainmen taking NJ
chances decided to block the valve it
the steam chest and close the port holet
in the cylinder
The forward driving rol was re-
moved and when these precautiont
had been taken the train continued it,
journey, the engine running with on,
irving rod, arriving in this city forty
minutes late. At Green Ridge thr
disabled engine was sent TO the rount
house and engine No, hauled th'

But for the watchtulness of Engi-
neer Lingfelter in locating the troubI,
ln the steam chest, disastrous wreck
might have occurred when the trai,
again got under full speed.

Decentralization OF Humbu.S.

The wheat crop this year was 20
900, 900 short of the yearly crop for
eight years past. yet owing to the over
production of wheat the farmers are
feeding it to the hogs. There are over
three million men out OF employment
in the United States, caused by an
overproI uction of wage earners. These
overproiuced paupers are about to
starve on account of the overproduc-
ton of wheat and other commodities.
The last cotton crop was consider
ably below the annual production of
cotton for several years past, yet. ow-
ing to the overproduction of cotton,
that commodity is n glut in the mar
ket. and will not pay for producing.
This Is because there is an overproduc-
ton of cotton, of course. The three
million idle men, together with their
families, are scantily clothed, and
many of them in rags. This is on ac-
count of an overproduction of cotton.
Too much cotton makes clothing
scarce, just like an overproduction of
wheat causes bread to be short.
There is no mistake about there being
an overproduction of old party hum
bugs.
