CHEAP CAB SYSTEM.
Auto-Truck Company Considering Advisa-
biIity of Establishing One in New York.

New York, Feb. LIN conjunction
with its comprehensive plans for gem
eral trucking business, the officers of
the New York Auto-Truck Company
are considering the adwsability OF es-
tablishing cheap cab system in the
city that will revolutionize the serv-
ice here.
The proposed plan is for huge sys-
tenn, the vehicles being operated by
compressed air, to cover the entire city,
with a scale of prices the minimum OF
which will be three cents. 1t is said
by those who are working out the plan
of operation, that even at this cheap
priceN handsome dividend can be
earned on the cost OF the plant. The
cab service proposed, If decided upon
Will be carried out on broad scale
This statement has been made by a
member of the company: THE ad-
Vantages OF such a cab service as we
are now planning are obvious when you
exanAle the problem closely, Practi-
cally all of the traction lines of New
YORK run north and south, for not one
in ten of the cross streets, where most
OF the people live, have any service al
all. If you could step into q neat ano
comfortable cab at the curb and be
carried nve, ten or 20 blocks, being de-
livered in front of the house to which
you wish to go, at a cost of three cents
would you not do it? That is just what
we expect to do. The total cost fol
motive power for such service as we
are planning will be less than one cent
a mile.
Although with our system the cabs
could make as good time as the trolley
cars make, we shall not attempt any
thing like rapid transit. We do not in
tend to compete for the long-haul
traffic. On the contrary, WE will dis
courage it as much as possible and con-
fine ourselves to the much more remu-
nerative short haul"

of ore in the ore houses and should they
be swept away the majority of it would
be lost. Such slide would bury a

gulch Including the Brownsville school
house.

LUNATICS CREMATED.
Seventeen Unfortunate Inmates OF the
North Dskota Asylum Lose rh-ir Lives.

Yankton, S. D.. Feb. ia most
horrifying fire occurred this morning
at 2 o'clock at the state insane asylum,
when one of the cottages was COM
pletely gutted and caused the loss of
seventeen inmates, all of whom were
women.
The cottage was erected of stone and
granite walls with wooden interior and
intended for laundry purposes. Owing
to the crowded condition of the main
building forty of the female patients
We're placed here, with the laundry in
the basement.
The fire originated in the dry room
of the laundry. Here there was coil
of steam pipes. and the theory is that
either fine particles similar to lint set
tied on the pipes and ignited, or that
clothes which were thickly hung close
by dropped OF to the pipes and We're
fired.
The fighting of fire was greatly him
dered by loss of power. The only
source of water was an artesian well
400 feet distant, the pipes for pumping
which ran through the cottage. The
intense heat soon caused these pipes to
burst, thus leaving the firemen without
power and dependent entirely upon the
direct pressure from the tank. But
two streams of water could be thrown
on the building, and these did little
good.
Fifty-two persons were in the bu Id
ing, forty patients and twelve attend
ants.
The structure was three stories and
attic high and had two main entrances.
There was one stairway from the sec
ond and third floors which led into the
main halls. thus giving but one egress
for those above the first floor. Pa
tients and attendants fed with terror,
great confusion resulting, especially
among those on the upper floors.
4 Many henrtrending scenes We're en-
acted as the inmates, clad only in their
night clothes and barefooted, rushed
down the narrow flight of stairs and
finally out into the snow. The temper
ature was 23 degrees below zero,
and further loss of life from freezing
was prevented alone by the prompt
work of the attendants from the main
building. The attendants escaped. as
did the others who were saved, with
none of their personal effects, many
losing all they possessed.
