developing to the public eye, such as
the use for the first time in civilized
warfare of barbed wire fencing as a
means of defense, and acting upon the
advice of some of our army officers who
were in Cuba while the fighting was
confined to the Spaniards and the insur-

Cleared I'D the wreck.

Supt. Shields and his gang OF men sue
ceeded in getting the wreck near the
Hancock & Calumet roundhouse cleared
up by A O'Clock yesterday afternoon, but
it was by hard work on the part OF the
men. The wreck occurred about noon
time and the rock and cars were thrown
over onto the South Shore track which
runs parallel with the H. & c. 1t took
some tall hustling on the part OF the rail-
road boys to get that track clear OF the
wreck, but the afternoon train did cot
have to wait and ran in and out OF Calls
met on time.
The engine on the South Shore track
was OF valuable assistance to the other
engine IN getting the one which was off
the track on again. II ever the men
worked hard it was in their endeayor to
get the thing in shape and they did it in
remarkably short order. Only two OF
the rock cars we're smashed and they not
badly. They were gotten back on the
track without much trouble and at 4
O'Clock the engine was back on the track.
The damage to the engine will not
amount to a great deal. One OF the
cabooses was somewhat used up, but
the total damage to the cars and engine
will not come high.
The dense fog at the time was the cause
OF the whole trouble. Engineer Cooking
said he could not see any distance ahead
Of him and he stayed at his post until the
locomotive struck the cars Of the other
train and was thrown OF the engine.

Fred Olson Succeeds
in Turning Out a
New Affair.
1t Is Very Highly Spoken Of
Ii Is a Plow and scraper Combined
ana Is said Co He Just The Thing
for HE'D Jacket.

Fred Olson's Inventive genius In the
making OF snow plows has again been
brought into play and Fred has now
perfected plow and scraper combined
which appears to suit the thing in Red
Jacket exactly aud to be just what ia
wanted here to keep the walks in the
proper condition.
For some time past Fred has been fig
uring on the pillow and he and Dominick
Kaiser, the blacksmith, got their heads
together and the result Is a pillow and
scraper combination which, apparently,
will be just what is wanted.
The plow is built on the triangular
shaped plan, with the slanting side
ahead. In front ia small pair of bobs.
The knives OF the scraper are placed on
this slanting side. The idea OF the slant
is to keep the snow from accommodating
in front as is the case with the scraper
now used by the village. Instead this
throws the snow on the side in regular
line.
Another advantage OF Fred's plow ie
that 1t always runs without taking a
zig gag course and does not pull and jerk
on the horses as does the scraper now
used. 1t does not throw thesno off the
walk, but cuts the corrigations in the ice
in the same way as does the scraper.
The plow was out yesterday and it was
tried on the sidewalks. Alderman Knivel
and President Vivian saw it work and
were well pleased with it. Street Com
missioner Ford tried it and thought 1t
was exactly what was needed here. He
says he has been figuring on just such a
pillow as Fred has perfected.
Keeping the sidewalks OF Red Jacket
in good condition has been problem
which was partially solved when the pres
ent scraper was brought into the service,
but Fred's plow seems to be particu-
larry adapted to the walks oil the city.
