sisting of a large derrick and two
anchors, dangling in dangerous po-
sitions over the side and threaten.
ing to pound holes in her, that
when he signalled to the large
vessel the steamer had run into
and received a reply, he believed
the latter was standing by him,
and consequently Captain Gordon
took steps to repair the damage
done to his vessel. According to
the owners of the Crathie, Captain
Gordon added, that the big steamer
laid to for some time and then pro-
ceeded in the direction Of London.
The Crathie, her commander also

A Small, Mean Trick.

Saturday afternoon last the city
engineers corps staked out a num-
Der of miles of sewer lines on
South Laredo and Camp streets,
in Preparation for the work to com.

all their stakes, but had carried
them off.
1t is freely stated that this is a
trick Of the opposition Of the ad-

to them, however, as it is very lit

DEATH IN A STREET CAR.
Falls Through an Open Drawbridge
and Through the Ice-Passen-
gers Drowned.


MILWAUKEE, Wis, Feb. "A
trolley car on the Russell avenue
and Holton street line ran through
an open draw Of the Kinnickinic
bridge at $3.50 o'clock this morn
ing. The car struck endwise on
the ice, through which it plunged
into the water. The mOtorman
was drowned and two passengers
are reported to have lost their lives.
The car was pretty well filled with
passengers, but part OF them were
rescued without serious injuries.
The ice broke the windows Of
the car, which stood on it's end and
was only partially filled with
water. Confusion was such that
nobody could tell an hour after the
catastrophe how many people lost
their lives, but it is believed that
at least six, besides the motorman,
are dead. Six were taken out
alive.
The known dead are; Miss Ehl-
man, kindergarten teacher, and
the daughter OF Prof. Gilman,
director of music in the public
schools; John Kennedy, mOtorman.
