TREsTLE FOR A CROSSING.

The Street and Water Commissioners
yesterday afternoon gave the Jersey
City, Harrison and Kearny trolley road
permission to cross the Delaware,

a trestle. This is the same trestle the
Board OF Freeholders authorized con-
structed.
The Street and Water Commissioners

water mains. In granting the privilege,

and Better Sidewalks.

The Glendale section of the Hill is
very poorly lighted, there being br: one
or two gasoline lamps in the whole sec
ton and they are so dim that they can
not be seen at a distance of ten feet
away. The residents are all complain
ing and a petition will be gotten up and
presented at the next meeting of the
Board of Street and Water Commission
ers asking them for more lights. The
sidewalks in this section are also in a
horrible condition and the petition will
ask for the relaying Of the fiagtstones
as well.

TO TEAR UP THE BOULEVARD.
Gas Company Asks Permissi to Lay
Its Mains Across to the West Side.

No sooner is the County Boulevard
finished in the Bergen section than along
comes the United Gas Improvement Com
pany with a request to tear 1T up to lay
their mains across. A few days ago the
company asked the Board of Freeholders
for permission to lay mains across Hud-
son Boulevard, at Charles. Blocker,
Union streets and Eye avenue. and also
along the Boulevard. from Charles street
south lis feet, and from Boyd avenue
north 800 feet, and from Lincoln street
north IT'S feet.
Under the act of 1892 the company may
rip up the road but not before deposit
ing a certified check for a large amount
with the F~reeholders, to insure that the
work of covering up the mains will be
properly done
Engineer Harrison said, speaking of
this request, that the company wishes
to branch out into the West Side district.
It had applied many. months ago, but
the request was refused. When the
mains are laid he will see that the road
is reixed in a proper manner.

SANTA CLAUS COMING.
Pointers on Holiday Goods and Holiday
Buying.


Butte. Dec. 21.-The hustle about the
streets the present week does not in
dictate that this city is suffering from
hard times. Crowds of people throng
the places where the holiday goods are
the most attractive. Christmas trees
have been peddled about the streets,
and the sale of them Is nearly equal to
former years. Santa Claus is coming
to Butte, even though silver has tum-
bled, and the children will be merry.
Merchants generally report a rush of
holiday trade fully equal to former
years. The only difference is that peo-
pie, as a rule, ask for less expensive
articles than in former years. They
buy as many presents, but they want
their toys and gifts cheaper. Legs, the
jeweler, has met the popular demand
by offering his goods at prices to meet
the hard times BY going to Legs, the
customer seeking for less expensive
goods than in former years, can buy
the same class of goods as in other
years, but at prices to suit fiattened
pocket-books. Opera glasses are down
to 80 per cent. of former prices. La
dies watches, exquisite pieces of work.
manship, can be purchased from 81 up.
Gold rings can be purchased from soc
upward. and the cheapest grades make
beautiful presents. The goods offered
by Legs are marvelously cheap in price
but they are not by any means cheap
goods. The secret is that they have
been purchased in bulk at less than
manufacturers cost. There are oppor-
tunities offered to purchasers in Butte
that were never offered before and
probably will not be offered again in
years. That is why people in Butte
ought to have one of the merriest
Christmases in its history. Beautiful
presents can be bought at Legs at
prices within the reach of all.
There is a mine of precious things to
select from at Legs store. The front
windows display splendid collection
of watches. rings. opera glasses. etc,
but these are only a sample of the
magnificent presents in the cases in
side. Silver novelties, diamond rings,
brooches. watches, everything in the
jewelry line, is there.
Mr.. Legs has put on a force of clerks
large enough to show the goods
promptly and thoroughly, no matter
how great the rush.

Much Evidence to Show that the Vessel
/ was Badly Handled and that the Disaster
Was Due te Bad Management.
San Francisco, June 18.-An evening
paper says:
When the governments investigation
shall have been held, there will be no
lack of testimony to show the culpa-
bility Of the Pacific Mail in the Colima
wreck. Besides the testimony given be-
fore the hull and boiler inspectors. A.
! ID. McClelland has received d letter
! from his brother, who has a coast ranch
in Mexico, near the scene Of the wreck.
Ten of the wrecked passengers are be-
ing cared for b. him, and their story
of the wreck coIrobOrates all that has
been said against the management Of
! the ship. McClelland writes that from
the story told by the survivors at his
place, the wreck was all due to Cap
tain Taylor.
Certain it is" adds the writer, that
he made no attempt whatever TO save
the passengers. The rescued passen-
gers tell me that the coverings were
not even taken off the boats, and fur
ther that the passengers were not noti-
| fed of the danger until five minutes
| before the COlima went down. The
freight ports could not b closed on ac-
! count of the immense cargo Of lumber
| and other merchandise. The water
rushed through the portfolios, and in
few minutes put out the fires In the
engine room. Then the Colima was
practically at the mercy of the waves.
learn that a feeble attempt was made
to hoist a sail, though there was such
confusion that it was practically use
! less to attempt to do anything.
"The passengers endeavored to take
down the life preservers, but the mates
! forced them to put them back. One Of
them picked up a preserver, and he was
pre-emptorily ordered to put it back
where he had found it. All the wo-
men and children were on deck just be-
fore the COlima went down, though
many were washed off by the rushing
waters or knocked OFF by the flying
spars before the end came"
The government inquiry Will be di-
rected to ascertain, among other things,
how it was that the officers of the San
/ Juan failed to pick up the passengers
who have been drifting ashore near the
scene of the wreck after the San Juan's
departure. There is abundant evidence
that there Will be something like a
thorough search for the survivors, if 1t
is thought that many lost their lives
through their neglect.
c. H. Cushing, of Oakland, Colima
survivor, picked up by the San Juan,
was before the steamboat Inspectors
this afternoon. He testified that before
the steamer sank there was no canvas
out The lumber on the COlima's deck
was piled four and a half feet high.
In answer to the question: Did the
officers of the Colima do al in thier
power to save the lives Of tAeir passen-
! gers?" Cushing replied
"The officers gave us no warning. No
life preseryers We're furnished us, and
heard no order to lower the boats"
