DEMOLISHED CARS
Take Fire and Threaten to De-
stroy the Structure, but After
a Hard Fought Battle With
Flames the Bridge is Saved,
Though Badly Burned.

The northhound local freight on
the Katy railroad. due at this
-posntat noon, was badly wrecked.
5y collision this morning. with
a work train on the bridge cross
ing the Arkansas liver about five
miles north OF Muskogee.
The wreck was caused by an
attempt of the engineer of the
work train TO run in TO Muskogee.
instead Of waiting for the freight
10 pass him at n siding north OF
the bridge. The freight, which
had left Muskogee few minutes
late was running at high rate of
speed, when it approached the
long bridge crossing the Arkansas
river. The work train. which was
Numbering over the structure, IN
an attempt to reach Muskogee be-
fore the freight had left that point,
was not discovered until the en-
trance to the bridge was reached.
Brakes were applied, as the
throitle was shot back, bat the
heavy train rushed on, aud crash
ing headon into the work engine,
piled it on top of a macs of splin-
tered cars. The fire from the over
turned engine ignited the debris.
and in a moment flames were en-
veloping the bridge. Several
members of the train crews who
were seriously injured by jumping
were removed TO place of safety
while those who had escaped the
wreck battled with the rapidly
spreading flames that threatened
the destruction Of the bridge. At
ter a hard battle, during which
the fire, famed by a southerly
gale. threatened to get beyond
control. the structure was saved.
The injured men were taken in
10 Muekogee, on a train that was
dispatched TO the scene Of the
wreck. from that city. II is re-
ported that one man was fatally
injured. but no definite report on
the condition of the others has
been received.
The wreck is charged TO the
disobedience Of orders by the en-
gineer of the work train. in leav-
ing a siding north Of the bridge
before the train had passed.

SALE OF OPIUM AND
COCAINE ALARMING.
REQUEST TO CURTAIL THE TRAFFIC.
Dangerous Medicines Purchased rs
Easily as Sugar or Soda Water
Hard Problem for Sur
veyor to Solve.

| Henrietta Crossman is much exercised
over the prevalence of the sale of opium,
morphine, cocaine and other poisonous
drugs by druggists. She fears that the
druggists themselves. or the medical pro-
fession for that matter, have not suffi
cient virtue to stop the evil. She there
fore appeals to the Commissioners as a
last resort, hoping that they will pass
ordinances prohibiting the sale of these
| drugs, except upon the presentation of
physicians prescription. She even goes
further and declares that the public can
not be properly protected unless sep
I arate prescription is required for each
sale
The complainant declares that the ease
with which the drugs mentioned can be
purchased in Washington is deplorable
state of things. She calls attention to
the certain and insidious work of these
poisons upon the human system and
states that person of her acquaintance
is being driven to a madhouse by the
constant use of a drug which is pur
chased as easily as one would buy sugar
or soda water.
1t is complained that the requirement
to sign for the drug is no hindrance to its
use. She says that anyone addicted to
the use of opium or morphine will not
only sign a statement that it is to be
used only as legitimate medicine, but
will even lie to obtain the drug
The cooperation of the Commissioners
is asked in the Inauguration OF prohibi-
tive laws against the indiscriminate SELL
ing of these medicinal poisons
Surveyors Hard Problem

II appears that the Surveyors office
has been called upon to locate the walls
of some houses ON the north side of T

has developed the fact that there is a
shortage of 1.2O feet. and the notes in
the Surveyors Office show that la former
Surveys this deficiency ras been taken
from the ffteen-foot alley, and all lots
were given their full frontage.
In his letter to the Commissioners Mr..
Talcott says that the law seems explicit
on this point, and he says that the Office
has never departed from the law except
in very few isolated cases The Com
missioners are informed that the whole
square is solidly built up. and that the
majority of the buildings have stood

FooIPATH FOR NEW BRIDGE.
Proposal for Cement Sidewalk on
Quarry Road Structure.

The Commissioners have received
through C. B. Hunt. the Computing Engi-
neer, the proposal OF the Crawford Paw
ing Company to lay a cement sidewalk on
the approaches and surface Of the Quarry
Road Bridge. Mr. Hunt explains that
the work was not done when the bridge
was constructed because it was deemed
best TO wait until the approaches to the
bridge upon which the sidewalk was to
rest. had settled. He also states that
through an amendment in the contract
with the Darties-who built the bridge
enough money was reserved to lay the
sidewalk
The Engineer recommends that the
proposal to lay the walk at $l.S7A be ac-
cepted, as in line with the cost OF the
walk under The former contract.

FIREMEN's DELAY FATAL.
Tardiness Probably Responsible for
SunocRtfOm of Mcintosh.

Delay in directing the firemen to the
scene of the fire aSunday morning was
probably responsible for the death of
Charles Mcintosh by suffocation in his
room in the rear of 700 Street north
west, according to the evidence produced
at the inquest yesterday. A verdict of
accidental death was rendered, although
it was shown that four or five minutes
were lost as a result of the failure of the
person who pulled the alarm to remain at
the box to direct the firemen.
When the firemen finally entered the
building the smoke on the second floor
was so dense that the lamps which the
fire fighters carried were put out Every
room was entered, however. and the beds
searched. Mr.. Brown and his wife in the
excitement of the time forgot Mcintosh,
and stated that everyone was accounted
for. Later they remembered Mcintosh,
and he was found by T. F. Warren, the
driver for Chief KurtZ.
Mcintosh was lying in a corner of the
room face downward. He was still breath
ing but died after being removed from
the building. The body has been claimed
by w. J. Brown, the proprietor of the
house in which the unfortunate man met
his death, and will be inferred today.
