WATER MAIN ASSESSMENTS.
Conference Report on the Front Foot
Proposition.

The House ;oday adopted the conference
report in charge of Mr.. Richardson of Ten
nessee on the Senate bill TO regulate water
main assessments. The present assessments
are on the square foot of the property and
on deep lots amounts TO much more than the
cost of the adjacent mains. The Senate bin
provides for an assessment of one dollar
and quarter a front foot. The House
amended the bill by a provision that on
payments still due under the system of
payments by installments, the amount COL
lected shall not exceed. in the aggregate
S.2o per front foot. The Senate rejected
this amendment and theA,onference accept
ed II with an amendment providing that il
shall apply only where the parties assessed
have met their payments as they have come
due. This met the objection of the Senate
- the House amendment. Under this new
law those property holders who have paid
each installment on their water main assess
meht as IL has come due and still have
payments to meet will get the benefit of
the front foot plan Of assessment by having
their payments cease when the aggregate of
their installments reaches s1.25. Those who
are IN arrears, however, do not get this
benefit.

Fatality at the New Schneider

The serious accident at the library yester-
day morning, in which two cf the workmen
were injured, was followed today by two
fatal accidents. One of them happened at
the Schneider flats and the other at new
building on A street northeast between 9TH
and 1th streets. The victim of the latter
accident was a young German ramed Rich
ard Blank. He was a slater in the employ
of c. j. Tanning and was only nineteen
years old. He was at his work on the TOP
Of the building at the time and for some
reason he lost his hold and fell to the

He had turned in falling, and landed on his
side. His head struck the stone and prob
ably fractured his skull, while his body and
limbs We're crushed and frightfully cut and
bruised. In an unconscious condition he
was removed to Providence Hospital by
Driver Oliver of the ambulance service who
lost no time IN reaching the scene of the
accident from the stable.
He died at the hospital this afternoon,
and the coroner was notified of the case
The victim of the accident at the Schnei-
der flats was killed instantly. He was
terra octta tile worker from Pittsburg, sent
here by the PittsburS Terra Gotta Com
pany. At the time of the accident the un-
fortunate man was standing on the twelfth
floor of the large structure, looking down
the eley yator shaft.
He evidently had no idea that the heavy
elevator was descending, and. without
word of warning, the man was struck on
the head and thrown the entire distance
twelve stories, down the shaft.
The elevator coming in contact with his
head no doubt crushed his skull and when
he landed at the bottom of the shaft his
body struck with such force that his legs
and arms were broken and his body cut
and mashed almost to a jelly.
His face was not so completely d!sfigured
that he could not be recognized.
His fellow-workmen rushed to the base
men. of the building, and soon identified
the body as that of Robert Watson. The
deceased was about thirty years old.
The body was removed to the morgue in
the dead wagon. and Coroner Woodward
will hold all inquest tomorrow.

his visit to this country last year to play
return matches with Frank Ives, who had
defeated him in London. On the occasion of
that visit he was compelled to pay s225
duty On the superb English table that he
sent here ahead OF him. The table had to
be imported because there was no standard
English table in America. The table was
part of Roberts professional implements,
but it was taxed AL the same, though
Roberts said he would not sell it here. The
English champion has just received back
partment, and the table is again on the
other side of the water From financial
standpoint Roberts American visit was dis
astrous, but socially and professionally 1t
was such success that he says he is COM
ing over here again.
