At a meeting Of the board of directors of
the Commercial Club. held at moor yester-
day, a resolution was adopted recommend
ing hat the new bridge TO be built over
White river at Washington street be con-
structed OF stone. The resolution was as
follows:
Resolved. That we earnestly

thar ninety feet in width. over White river
at Washington street without delay. And,
further. IL is the sense of this board that
the bridge be built by the county"
The directors of the club will make a
protest to the secretary of war against the
establishment Of a small army post at the
arsenal In this city. A request was made
10 the directors yesterday along this line.
Those who are opposed TO the plan of es-
tablishing a post here reason that IL would
probably be a three or four company post
which would practically be a school for re-
cruits and might be under the command of
men in the midst OF a city constitutes a
much more difficult problem il the matter
or control and discipline so far as the COM
munity is concerned" il is argued, than
q large army post stationed some miles
rom the city. In fact the arsenal grounds
are thoroughly unsuitable from the citi-
zens standpoint and. we believe, from the
standpoint or the War Department"
Al the meeting or the directors an invita-
ton was received from a stoker company
requesting the club 10 send a to
Chicago and investigate some stokers now
IN use at the Union StOckyards there.

STREET CARS IN COLLISION.
Heavy Greenwood Car Crashes Into
an East Tenth-Street Car.

One Of the heavy Greenwood interurban
cars crashed into an East Tenth-street car
at Meridian and Washington streets last
night at 9 o'clock, badly wrecking the lat
ter. The interurban car was going west
and the East Tenth-street car was east
bound when the switch turned and threw
the latter directly in front of the Green
wood car. The side of the Tenth-street
car was crushed in, and Jacob Cohen, 421
Massachusetts avenue, the only passenger
on the car, was hurled against the stove
and severely bruised. The stove fell on his
foot, causing temporary paralysis. The
motorman was knocked against the side
of the vestibule and severely shaken, but
not seriously injured. The Greenwood car
was not injured. The crash caused a bad
wreck and it was some time before the
street was cleared.

TOTAL LOSS MAY REACH $4,000
FIRE DEPARTMENT KEPT BUS FOR
SEVERAL HOURS.
Loss on Power House and Cars Fully
Covered by Insurance-New
Cars in Readiness.

A fire at 4:3O O'Clock yesterday morning
at the Louisiana-street car barns caused a
loss OF about $50, 1000, serious inconvenience
10 street car patrons, who waited and shiv-
cred in the cold. and a general Gripping Of
the street car service. Ten cars were de-
stroyed or damaged so they could not be
used yesterday.
The fire started in what is called the
washroom. and it is thought from an cleo
trio heater used in the cars running on
English avenue and West Washington
street. The fire had good Roadway when
discovered and spread rapidly to other
cars. Owing to the inability to get cars
across the West Washington-street bridge
the barns were crowded with cars. Fortu-
nately for the company and the public,
there were a large number of street car
men waiting about in the barns and that
locality at the time the fire broke out. and
their efforts to save the cars in the
stables resulted in a congested condition of
the tracks on South Illinois street, to which
they were rushed. This b~lockading of cars
prevented cars which were running on the
lines from getting around the loop and
many patrons waited and waited until they
became tired and then walked.
The barns on Louisiana street are large
and covered with a SheetirOn roof and a
skylight. There was a good draft through
the building, and when the fire department
arrived there was apparently little pros
pect Of saving the structure or contents.
The west ends of the barns are open and
the firemen were able to get streams of
water directly on the fire. and in a short
time Ii was under control. The heat was
so great that heavy steel Orders were soft
ened and bent of their own weight, those
supporting the roof bending down so they
almost touched the tops of the cars.
THE SERVICE IMPAIRED.
Street car service in all parts OF the city
was impaired because of damage to the
current wires. Many lines yesterday were
short of cars, among them being the West
indianapolis, the Indiana-avenue, the Ala
bama-street, the East Tenth-street, Irv-
ington and S~tockyards lines. One of the
Irvington cars was a new double-truck car,
built at a cost of about 5000. The other
cars cost about $500 each. The motors of
the cars are the most expensive parts, and
If these can be repaired or are found to be
~uninjured the loss will be much less than
estimated yesterday.
Mr.. MCGOWAN, president of the street
railway company, said twenty cars of the
double-truck kind had been built at Gin
cinnati and might be put into service in a
few days. Most of them are finished with
the exception of the trimmings.
The company is fully protected against
1881, $50 on it's equipment and buildings. The
