THE STEEL BRIDGE GRADE

The Cause of Another Accident to Two
street Railway Motors.
What might have been a very SER
ious accident occurred about IL o'clock
last evening on Penn street, Island, at
the foot of the long grade of the steel
bridge. Two cars OF the Citizens Street
Railway collided, smashing the front
platforms of both cars. Luckily there
we're no passengers in either car.
Car as, on the Bridgeport run, got
away from the motorman when half
way down the grade. Eyewitnesses of
the accident claim he did all in his
power to stop the flying car, and only
jumped when it was not possible to
avoid the collision. Car %. on the
fair grounds run, had just swung the
trolley and had started to run in on the
Ohio street line. when 46 crashed into
it. The crew of % were warned of
their danger by the motorman of 46
sounding his gong and crying out
warnings. Both jumped.
The front platform of 46 was mashed
fiat against the car proper. The front
of % was not so badly mashed as 46,
as it was Struck on the corner.
Nothing could be learned from the
company officials as to the cause OF the
accident, but it is the general opinion
that a bad rail was the cause. Car As
was in charge of a union crew, and %
in charge of a non-union crew.

AS was announced in the Register OF
yesterday, the complete service of the
Wheeling Railway Company was in
augurated yesterday morning at twen-
ty minutes of six o'clock, and the cars
and their crews were joyfully received
by the public.
The first car vas to have pulled out
at half past four, but there were I'M
ayoidable delays which made it impos-
sibie to make the first run at that time,
and it was an hour and ten minutes
later when the start was made. the
crew of the first car being Conductor
Kuehlborn and Motorman Creighton.
There was quite a crowd at the barns
to see the start made, and all along the
route up to the central portion OF the
city the crew was greeted with cheers
and the waving of hats and handker-
chiefs. A good business was done from
the start and as car followed car il was
very effectively demonstrated that ne
public was not only willing but anxious
to ride. Within a very short time the
entire system was in operation, n
there was a generous patronage, which
steadily increased during the day and
evening. The old employs took hold
of things with a vim down at the barn,
and aided greatly in making the ef-
fective start.
The patronage was especially heavy
during the afternoon and last night,
largely on account of the Oriental
Street Fair. Many hundreds went to
the Island and across the river to the
Ohio side via the old reliable route,
and there is no doubt that the restora-
ton of the former system of transpor-
tation sensibly increased the number of
visitors at the Fair, while the mea of
reaching the grounds and returning
therefrom were very sensibly increased.
There was necessarily some little de-
lays yesterday at times, but a day or
two will adjust these things, and the
service will settle down into a better
one than ever before. The old m
ploys are more than anxious to show
their loyalty and desire to do everything
in their power in behalf of the COM
pany, and this disposition is at least
met half way by the officials of the cor
poration.

The ceremonial session of Osiris
Temple, Ancient Arabic Order of No
bles of the Mystic Shrine, was held at
the Arion Hall last evening, and was
in every particular a signal success.
The devotions were to the memory OF
Haroon-at-Rasheed aaron, the JUST,
Khaleefah of Bagdad and hero of the
Arabian Nights. The feasts, Akheer-
i-charar-ee-Shambah, were in mem
ory Of the last visit of the prophet to
the bath.
The session vas opened at 7:30
o'clock and during the early part of
the evening t~Wenty-SiX candidates were
initiated in full form with appropriate
ceremonies. The candidates were put
through the p~erilous task of crossing
the hot sands of the desert, and judg-
ing from the peculiar sounds that is
sued from the secret chamber, each Il
received his share Of all that trans
PRED. After the journey, when the
oasis at Mecca had been reached, the
temple closed and all joined in the
traditional banquet, which was spread
in the spacious dining apartments of
the hall. The feast was an elaborate
and tasteful one, and was prepared by
Caterer Ziegenfelder in her usually ad-
mirable style. Many pleasing toasts,
quite appropriate to the occasion, were
made and an enjoyable social time was
in progress until a late hour.
Following are the names of those
who We're made acquainted with the
mysteries of the order: Alexander
Purdy, of Monongah; George Camp. OF
Mannington; Harry w. Dorm, of FAIR

The session was preceded by a full
dress parade of the Temple at $3.50
O'Clock in the afternoon, and there
was certainly a very creditable dis
play of Oriental splendor which was
admired by the spectators all along
the route of procession. The compo-

the wet season last summer. Major Simp-
SON, chief of the bureau of military infor-

Greene and learned from experience how
far this wet season affected the health and

operations.
Generally speaking. he says men were up
to their knees in mud and water during
July and August, when our trenches were
drawn around Manila. But, while this was
great personal Inconvenience 1t did not
cause any material increase in the sick

the stretches Of quagmire made it next to
impossible to execute military movements
