CRUSHED UNDER THE CARS
swITCHMAN RoB'r wADDELL MEL

while Switching Cars He Was
Caught and HIS Body Fright

in the Missouri Kansas and Texas yards,
while Robert Waddell, a young man 80
years of age, foreman of a switch crew,
was engaged in making up a train, he
was caught before he could get out from
between the cars and the wheels of two
box cars passing over his body, 1t was
fearfully torn and mangled. causing in
slant and horrible death.
Justice Malsch held the inquest, and
from eye witnesses of the narrowing scene
the following story is told as to how the
accident occurred:
Waddell had stepped in between two
box cars to cut them. He made the
cut all right but in stepping out his
foot was In some way caught between the
rail and board on the bridge When the
first wheel ran over his left foot. he threw
his body outside the rail in an effort to save
his life, but the next pair of trucks caught
his body and drawing 1t under them, two
cars and wheel of the third had passed
over his body, crushing 1t to pieces be-
fore the train could be stopped. Frag
ments Of the manged remains strewed
the track for some distance.
The deceased was married man, and
was boarding at the Mansion house on
Franklin avenue. He was popular and
well esteemed by all who knew him.
The funeral will take place from liza
Montgomery avenue, the residence of his
mother, at 4 o'clock this afternoon; SER
vices will be conducted at the house, and
interment take place at Hollywood ceme

teen years. died an easy. peaceful death.
and at roll call last night. when all the

him in the corner of the Jail yard under
u china tree.
Few dogs have ever been treated with
such post norton consideration. neat

black cloth. with plate upon the lid,
upon which was printed "At Rest, odd
Cold" In this coffin the faithful dog
rested In state In the assembly room at

There was much activity at Emancipa-

From early in the morning until far into

and there were rary who went a-toot
and on horseback and bicycles. All seemed
bent on doing good fer the stricken retu-
gees. who for the time being are charge
on the generous and sympathetic public of
this city. Food and drink and clothing
were amply provided for those in need.
and nothing was left undone that
would in any way secure comfort for
the unfortunates who are temporarily
stationed among us. At 1890 o'clock Hon.
Richard Allen had the sufferers to as
semble In the pavilion, where the com
mittee in charge greeted them and as
sured them OF the citizens interest in
their welfare. Short talks were made by
Hilliard Taylor, ]. W. Watson Caesar
Gamble, Fred Mason and l.. w. Woods
after fervent prayer had been offered
by Rev II. Watts. Suitable hymns, such
as Savior, More Than Life To Me, inter-
spersed the speeches and every consolation
that would cheer the sad and detected
was used TO the best advantage. The COM
mittee proved equal to the emergency in
every particular.
After issuing the clothing that had been
so generously donated the sufferers were
entertained at dinner given by the Left
Handed Fishing club. This dinner con-
sisted of soup. bread, meat and variety OF
vegetables and was served by Ed H, Will
liams who had been specially ordered to
serve all who applied for something 10
eat, regardless of the expenses incurred
by the indiscriminate dishing out. Ii Is
needless 10 say that this action ON the
part of the Lett Hand Fishing club will
be gratefully remembered by9every man,
woman and child whose hunger was ap-
peasad by the dinner served. Besides the
dinner served, raticns donated by the
and citizens generally were
issued for supper last night and break

visE the place, on witnessing the spirit
of giving on all sides, thought 1t advisa-

bought some chewing and smoking tobacco
for those who had 4 weakness for the
weed.
Later in the evening a praise meeting
was conducted by Rev. II. Watts, who
had discontinued the regular services at

One of the leading citizens of Houston,

If this question is presented in the true
light. and the wisdom and necessity of
such action is impressed upon the people
we would have no trouble in raising 5000
or $1,000. With either of these amounts
we could do much toward lettering the
existing state of things and guarding
against the sickness which, | fear, may
follow our recent extraordinary rains and

FOR SEWERAGE SYSTEM
The Physicians Show Why Sewsse Must Be
Diverted from the Bayou.
STRONGLY FAVOR PROPOSED BOND ISSUE
they say No Money Could he Deter
spent for Sanitary Purposes.
OF Vast Bcncfit.

The following statement from the ply.
sicians OF Houston in regard to the neces-
sity OF modern sewerage system in thi:
city was issued yesterday afternoon;
To the Taxpayers of Houston.
Houston, Texas, July 3.--The under
signed practicing physicians of Houston
take this method of calling attention to
the Importance of the movement TO with
draw all sewage matter from Buffalo
bayou and dispose Of the same by sanitary
methods.
Houston Is naturally one of the health
lest cities in the South, but the filthy con-
dition Of the bayou has for several years
been source OF malarial and other Sc
rious sickness in our midst. The expert
sanitary engineer, who has lately exam
ined the stream. reports that 80 per cent
OF the sewage matter discharged Into the
bayou remains between the center OF the
city and the International and Great
Northern railway bridge. When It is re-
membered that this deposit increases
largely each year. the probability a. an
epidemic during the summer may wen be
apprehended and guarded against;
The question OF doing away with this
disease breeding nuisance and of erecting
an up-to-date sewage disposal plant and
extending the sewer system. is to be voted
upon on July II. The amount proposed
to be spent in this work can not be COM
pared with the vast benefit which 1t will
afford this community.
In our Judgment no money could be spent
for sanitary purposes to greater advan-
tags than in diverting all sewers from
Buffalo bayou. Until this is done Hous-
ton can never claim to be hrst-class
city from a standpoint of health. Under
present conditions the dangers OF sick
ness and of epidemics will increase each
summer. causing many TO leave the city,
frightening away visitors and demoralz-
ing commerce and industries.
Aside from the question of deepening
the ship channel. the sanitary advantages
alone are so apparent that no citizen who
