A Child Hurt.

Last Saturday afternoon as little Ruth
Straub was crossing Railroad street to
go up Maple street she was run over by
woman who was driving team in a
reckless manner, and received injuries
which will con6ne her to the house for
some time. The wagon passed over both
legs and she received cut over her left
eye which will probably leave scar for
life. The strange part of the accident is
that the woman did not stop to see ii
the child was hurt, but drove away as
fast as possible, and as there we're only
a few children that saw the accident, her
identity is unknown. With the help Of a
gentleman, who came in few minutes,
the little girl was able to reach home.

IMPROVEMENTS WANTED.
Wheeling, February 5

W DCClillSss L vi UsAt -
To the Editor Of the Register.
Dear Sir:-Would you please allow
as a small space in your local column
of your Sunday edition? I think Isl
anders will agree with Mr. w. II. IIig-
gins. member OF the Second Branch
from the Seventh ward, that South
York. at the lower end needs a sewer
very bad, as when there is heavy
rain or snow fall there is no way for
the water to get of the ground; in has
TO soak through the ground to get
away. We property holders do sin
cerely hope that the Council and Board
Of Public Works win do something in
filing up and laying the sewer on the
lower end of South York street, and
we also hope that they will see to it
this summer. We have been very for
tynate this winter 50 far. in not having
the street full Of water, but everybody
knows on Island that when there is a
heavy rain 0r food this part OF the
Island is always full Of water and it
cannot set away on account Of having
no sewer. and the street being so low
all property owners on this part of the
street want to improve their property,
and we hope the Council and Board Of
Public Works viii help Us by filing up
the street and having a sewer for US,
and we will Be too glad to DO the other
part. | also notice it is said that
Ohio street. between Front and south
Penn needs filing. I do not agree with
the above. III the property owners Of
that part would keep their pavements
in proper condition, it would be a great
Improvement to that street, as every
time 1t rains there is nothing but pud-
dies from one end of the street to the
other. From what ! could understand
from the wording Of the Evening News
of February the property owners
would like To have the road bricked.
The street was filed last summer by
the Board of Public Works, and if The
property owners want to make the
street look decent Why don't they en-
p1oy somebody and do so? Or do they
expect the Board Of Public Works 60
lay the pavement for them? We only
hone that the Board Of Public Works
will I'll 10 the lower end Of South
York street. as they have Ohio street,
between Front and South Penn streets.
We would be 100 pleased then to make
coed pavements for people to walk on.
Hoping the property owners will re-
ceive kind attention from their Coun-
cilmen and the Board of Public Works,
we all remain, theirs respectfully,
CITIZENS.
