trie current the wrong way. according to

was slowed from the tracks, the driver
being slammed up against a big telegra pa
pole. But The impact threw the horses
directly across the track, and the car was
soon upon them. Coming from an oppo-
site direction and unable to avoid an in
evitable collision was Mr. ]. H. White
ford, of No. 1116 Washington street, Ho-
boken, and HE sixteen-year-old son,

ahead BY the trolley car, came into coll
lision.
Mr.. Whiteford and his son were thrown
upon the roadway. The car plowed is
way through the wreck for twenty or
thirty yards. Not one of The three horses
were seriously injured. and beyond bal
sLaEing up and incidental suffering from
shock on the part of Mr.. Whiteford, no
one was injured The running gear Of
III. Whiteford's buggy was wrecked One
from wheel and one rear wheel wera
smashed into smithereens.

occurred, assisted Mr.. Whiteford into the
Hotel Washington, where it was found
that Mr.. Whiteford was suffering mainly
from shock. His son, Jerome. was ap-
parently no worse for the accident. The
driver of vanderbeek & Sons truck had
leg hurt in being slammed against the
telegraph pole.
Over a hundred persons gathered at the
scene of The excitement. There were but
few passengers on The ear and they soon
alishged after scare. None OF them were

THE WATER ARREARS
Board OF finance TO Talk Over a
Bond Issue Today.

Tt IS likely that the Board of Finance,
at Its meeting today, will give some con-
sideration to the advssahiiity of Issuing
100000 worth of ten year per cent bonds
to pay the arrearage Of the water de-
partment. This matter was discussed at
the last meeting in a conference between
the Board of Finance, the Street and
Water Board and Mayor Pagan, and it
was then decided to have a further con-
f. -ence Oh February ).
The Finance Commissioners at that time
did not consult among themselves on what
had been done at the conference and it is
likely they viii do SO today.
All least oe member of the Board Of
Finance IS opposed 10 the issue because
he fears the value of city bonds viii be
affected when it is generally known
among hnanciers that the loan = to be
made for the purpose Of helping a depart
ment that has run in debt.

STATEHOOD.

Colonel Wilson has been elected
Delegate to Congress by reduced but
a safe majority. Southern Arizona,
true to Statehood and to the teachings
of Marcus A. Smith, saved him.
Oklahoma and New Mexico have
elected Republican Delegates to Con-
gress. The political status of the
Territories that existed when the COM
promise on the Omnibus bill was eff
is every prospect that the way is now
clear for the passage of the bill pend
ing in the Senate.
For this satisfactory condition of
affairs no thanks are due to the Re-
publican leaders of Arizona. For a
little temporary mess of pottage they
were willing to imperil the great meas
ure that the ambition of every Ari-
zonian Graves. But a majority of the
voters of Arizona are Democrats, and
they remained true to their creed and
to their opportunity. The attitude
maintained by the patriotic Demo-
Gratis of New Mexico and Oklahoma
shows up in strong contrast with that
assumed by the Arizona Republicans.
Flynn and Rodey in Oklahoma and
New Mexico preached the same policy
that Delegate Smith urged in Arizona.
The Democrats of the former Terri
tories accepted the advice of the Re-
publican Delegates, but the Republi-
cans of Arizona derided the advice of
the Democratic Delegate whose efforts
placed the Statehood bill in the favor
able position it now occupiesl. 1t
was Democratic fidelity and Demo
cratic preponderance that saved Ari-
zona from kicking the fat in the fire,
and no thanks are due to the Republi-
cans, who did their best to be mar
plots.
The Tucson citizen., 1902-11-06
Modifying 1t.

Mrs. c. was horrified to discover that
her little year-old daughter was
acquiring the habit of alluding very
freely to the devil. and at last she told
her determinedly that a repetition of
the obnoxious word would bring severe
punishment.
The child knew that her mother was
in earnest, so she set seal on her lips.
At last she seemed to have forgotten
it, but one Sunday Mrs. c., who had
been too i'll to go to church. asked her
if she could. tell what the minister had
preached about in his sermon.
"Oh. yes'm," she answered. He
preached about our Lord going up into
the mountain and being tempted by
by-by the gentleman who keeps hell!'
She didn't intend to run any risks of
being punished.-Francis E. Wadleigh

"Address ms AboxFe.~

There is one lawyer in Brooklyn who
will never again make use of Latin
phrases in writing business letters. A
short time ago he had to write letter
to a client i'll a neighboring city regard
ing an important lawsuit that was to
come up before the court in the course
of few days. The information he So
licited was highly essential to his case.
In writing this epistle he made use OF
letter head with his printed address
at the top. In closing his letter he sign
ed himself thus, "JOhn LangdOn, ad-
dress ut supra"
After waiting several days for the
reply. which did not come, he again
wrote his proclastinating client and
asked why he had not sooner answered
his first letter. The next day he re-
ceived reply in which the client said
that he had answered the letter and
addressed it to ''John Langdon, 1t
