This idea was adopted, and will be
recommended to Council this evening.
Near the close of the session, when
it came to making a special levy for
the electric light bonds, City Solicitor
Boyce said it could not be done, for thd
reason that the provisions of the State
law requiring a special tax, had not
been complied with in that case, and in,
his opinion the bonds were not good
and would not stand a legal suit. The
item of the electric light bonds were
then changed over TO the general city
levy and included in that tax.
The ordinance will come up in Coun,
ell this evening.

Swindled and Deluded.

Forty negroes are in the little town OF
Arcola, on the Valley railroad, thirty
miles from Greenville, awaiting Q
through train to take them to Africa.
Some time ago, it seems, an African i'm
migration association was organized, an
admission fee of S1,00 being charged
and a further sum being required for
transportation to Africa. A number OF
hard-working negroes have disposed OF
their possessions, mules and meat and
corn at sacrifice to obtain the money
to make the trip. The through train
has not yet arrived at Arcola, although
about forty negroes have been huddled
together in empty stores, etc, at that
place for three weeks awaiting its ar
rival. 1t seems the poor negroes have
once more been deluded.

Carbine, by Muslket, ont of Mersey,

to dispute with Ormonde, for

pL6roeD TO DEATH.

An Electric Car Goes Through an Open
Draw to the Ice-Covered River Below,
Carrying the Molorman and Two Pas
sengers to Their Death and Several Per-
sons to Bruises and q Cold Bath--A Care
less Motorman.
MILWAUKEE, Jan. .5.-Three persons
were carried to their death yesterday
morning on an electric car Of the Rus
sell-avenue G. Holton-street line. which
plunged through the open draw of the
Kinnikinic bridge over the river.
Eight others were rescued from the
partly submerged car. The following
are the dead:
Mrs. Antoinette g. Ehlm an, teacher
in the twelfth district primary school;
daughter of Prof Ehlman, director of
music in the public schools.
Miss Schnidtkuntz, employe Of Ma
tional knitting works.
John Kennedy. motorman of the
car.
The following passengers, who were
rescued from the icy water. were
slightly injured:
". P. Savery, 705 Walnut street;
hand cut.
A. 0. Ertell, 756 Island avenue.
e. w. Chase, 727 Fourth street
Ii. Kuehn, 3O7 Red street.
+. Brand, $40 Grove street.
Ella Wachholse, Ills Eleventh street;
hurt about shoulder.
Edward Hoffman, 446 Jackson street.
Miss Annie Albe, 71O Poplar street.
The accident was due to the care
lessness of the motorman, John Ken
nedy, who allowed the car to approach
too near the open draw, and paid the
penalty of his carelessness with his
| life. The thick ice in the river alone
prevented greater loss of life, as the
car was only submerged two-thirds of
its length endwise in the river.
Conductor Peterson, who has been
in the service of the company only a
short time signalled for the car to go
ahead, but when a dozen feet from the
bridge he rang the bell for the car to
stop. The mctorman grasped the
brake crank in frantic manner and
twisted it, but the wheels slipped on
the ice, and there was no time to reach
for sand.
The panic-striclten passengers real
| lied as soon as the bell was rung that
something was wrong, and when they
saw the car on the verge of the river
all made frantic rush for the rear
exit. The conductor and one or two
passengers who were standing on the
rear platform jumped to the ground in
safety. Savery, who was the first to
rush for the rear door, never opened
it. The instant he touched the door
the forward end of the car toppled
into the river, carrying with i. the
eleven people who had crowded to the
front of the car in desperation.
The car gradually sank through the
stantly qucnched.
The women who met their death
were probably suff coated, as their bod
les bear no bruises, and they must
have been at the bottom of the car.
Miss Wacholz clung desperately to
Edward Hoffman while he raised him
self from the water. Both would prob
ably have been drowned but for the
arrival of rescuers- Annie Albe wa.
rescued in similar manner
The body of Miss Schmidtlluntz wa
first recovered. Two attempts wert
made to lift the car. but the chain:
broke, and it was lifted from the river
only after much hard work.

homes

was entered by drilling a small round
hole little to tho left of the combina-

break the lock to pieces with punch
