baby in town.
Monday was special court with

The Crittenden Press seems
worried over the fact THAT Bert
Hays worked" the Marion doc
tors, But the more we learn about
the matter the more laughable APP
pears the joke. The Press SAYS:
THE Livingston Banner seems to
think our physicians were work
ed" and the Press guessed it the
first guess That's exactly what
we think, and Drs Duley d. Duley
and many others who saw Bert the
day he left for Marion, "think the
same think" The Marion Docs
think it is simply awful to Joke
them about this smallpox mat
ter, but it seems that they thought
it was "the thing to write letter
to DR.. Mccormick attacking the
Smithland physicians, and charg-
ing that they had not done their
duty. However, Drs. Duley and
Duley stand ready for a thorough
investigation of the matter if such
is the desire of the Marion doc
ors,-Livingston Banner.

SIX Men Killed q ! abroad
Accident and Several
Injured.

a jamestown special telegram says:
The m0st disAstrou accident ID loss
OF lie that has occurred on this divi.
sion Of the Northern Pactac road hap
pened sund ~ morning at3,35 10 front
81 the headquarters building. A load
ed freight and passenger trainson the
James River alley line, the regular
train in charge Of Engineer Nichol.g
and Marion Nashold, came down into
the yard. and after whistling for the
depot station the engineer tried to stop
the train, but the air, he claims, failed
to work and before the train could be,
gotten under CONTROL, the engine had
crashed into another engine standing
on the valley track near the superin-
tendent's building, the engineer and
fireman Of which engine were in the
depot building at the time.
In the valley train was q fiat car.
the second car from the engine, and
riding on the car on the front end
mostly were some seventeen men who
were coming from LaMoure to work
in the tbreshing fields near here.
They we're asleep and some of them
wrapped in blankets. The Hat car
took almost all the entire force of the
collision, it seems, and was broken
| in two in the middle and the middle
rose in the air.
The men were rolled off the end of
the fiat car and crushed between two
heavily loaded box cars. The trucks
of the fat car were .interlocked with
each other. The men fell Into the
death trap before they were aware of
it, Four men were killed outright and
one died soon afterwards from injur-
les received. Six others were injured
so that one died and two or three
others are not expected TO survive.
The engineer of the valley train Jump
ed as the crash came and was not hurt.
The fireman also jumped as he saw
there would be 81 wreck. He was not
injured.

BOOKS AND WATER.
must have

A somewhat anomalous state of affairs Is
suggested by one of the provisions of the pend
ing bin TO enable this city TO accept Mr. Car
nege's gift for branch library buildings. II Is
provided in the fourth section of the bill that
the necessary indebtedness shall be incurred
by the sale of bonds on the sole authority of the
Board of Estimate md Apportonment with
out reference 10 the Municipal Assembly. That
will prevent aldermen and councilmcn from
playing their favoTlte trick of Withholding sup
plies for the sake of blackman. 1t is an eIni-
nently wise stipulation.
But what anomaly 1t is that not until this
WAS proposed was the same wise rule even
suggested in other still more important matters.
For desirable as libraries are, must con
slider the water supply of the city to be far
more important. We are legslatng that the
Municipal Assembly shall not be able 10 pre-
vent 10 delay library construction. Yet at this
very moment that nlalodorous organization is
deliberately and persistently delaying and pre-
venting works which are absolutely necessary
TO protect parts Of the city from water famine.
Many weeks ago the Board of Estimate and
ApportiOnment authorized the expenditure of
money for the works. But all these weeks
aldermen or councilmen have been refusing
their sanction. Thus the city has been pre-
vented from securing the benefit OF the heavy
spring rains OF this month. The billions of
gallons of water which should have been
impounded for use in the dry summer months
have flowed off into the ocean And there Is
practical certainty that the coming summer will
see as severe a stringency Of water supply as
last summer did, with resultant discomfort
fires disease and death.
And all because our local legislators of
them-are unwilling to supply the most urgent
wants Of the people unless they can get out OF
the transaction some uncean rake off" Truly.
il is well not to let the Municipal Assembly
hold mp" the libraries. But how much longer
is 1t TO be permitted 10 shut off the cty's water
supply? II is agreeable and encouraging TO see
that. following the library measure a proposal
to correct this mischievous anomaly has at last
been brought before the legislature, In the form
of bill! giving the Board of Estimate and
AppOrtionment power 10 proceed with improve
ments of the water supply without being depen-
dent upon the favor Of the New-YOrk compeers
of Hinky Dink and Bathhouse John The prompt
enactment of it may be too late to save the city
from distress this year but il will give a posi-
bility of relief the next year such as we might
now be enjoying but for the cantankerousness
that has prevailed at the City Hall
