HIT BY AN ENGINE.
A Child Badly Hurt at Riverside
Mill Yesterday---Recovery Doubt
full. Other Benwood Notes.

Last evening about six O'Clock Rena
Beck, the eight-year-old daughter Of
Mrs Mary Beck, who lives opposite
the Riverside mill at Benwood, was
struck by yard engine at the River
side, and seriously if not fatally hurt.
The child was playing in the yard
and the engineer, accustomed to run
his engine with considerable speed, did
not notice the child until almost upon
her. He reversed brakes, but the en-
CINE struck the girl with great force,
knocking her considerable distance.
She was carried to her home nearby
and DR.. ]. w. Mcdonald called. The
physician found that the child had re-
ceived a very bad scalp wound and
was badly bruised about the face, neck
and body. There was no evidence OF
bones having been broken, but the
physician ascertained that she had
been hurt internally. The real extent
of her injuries will not be known
until further developments in her con-
dition occur. DR.. Mcdonald stated
last evening that the recovery of the
child was doubtful.

Last evening the Council Committee
on Fire Department spent three hours
in going over hose bids and listening
to the statements of representatives Of
a dozen different manufacturers, and
as a result accepted bids to the amount
of $1,000, for which the city will get
three thousand two hundred feet of
new two and one-half inch hose.
The bids submitted were as follows:
Chicago Fire Hose Company, repre-
scented by Trimble & Lutz, soc and zoe

eight new nozZles or two ball spray
noZzles thrown in.

Consolidated Rubber Company,
23.94c, 27.S0c, Acc, &c and TIC per foot
All the bidders submitted from two
to half dozen samples of goods, and
as a result there was a bewildering ar
ray of selections of hose of all con-
ceivable sorts, from the best to the
cheapest. The Committee opened and
tabulated the bids, and then allowed
each representative five minutes to
make a statement, which naturally
of la
Committee then went into executive
session and examined the samples and
bids and conferred together and with
Chief Klieves, and as a result accepted
the bids of the Boston Woven Hose
and Rubber Company, for 1000 feet at
Csc per foot, and the bid of the Eureka
Fire Hose Company. for 1,2G0 feet at
60c per foot, the total amount of hose
thus being three thousand two hundred
feet and the amount of money in
volved $1,000 This will give the de-
partment siXty-fOur sections of brand
new hose, which, added to the sixteen
hundred feet purchased last year,
makes forty-eight hundred feet of
practically new hose.
During the long discussion Captain
Otto laid great stress upon the i'm
portance of keeping a record Of the
use and condition of all hose pur-
chased, which seems to have not been
done except during the past year, al
though the matter has been in Com
mittee a number of times and repeated
orders have been given to have a cor
rect record kept, to the end that the
Committee may know just how each
brand of hose acts in actual use.
