from his wagon by a freight train at Mis-
wagon was entirely demolished and the
horse slightly hurt. Pedrow re-
ceived cuts on the head and neck. He was
also injured internally.
Box 416 was pulled on account of small
fire in the Central Chair factory. The
salvage corps was coming up Missouri
street and was driving abreast of Assist
ant Chief Barrett. When the two vehicles
reached the Kentucky-avenue crossing of
the Vandalia railroad the fagman ran out
and motioned for them to stop. Both driv-
ers drew rein. The fiagman then motioned
for them to come ahead. Barrett drove
across and was followed by Pedrow. When
the latter arrived in the middle of the
tracks he was struck by a freight train
that was running at high rate of speed.
Pedrow was knocked from his wagon and
thrown over the tank of an engine stand
ing on another track. He was knocked
senseless. He was taken to the City Dis
pensary, where his injuries were dressed
by DR.. Schenck.
| The remnants of the wagon were picked
up and taken back to the Salvage Corps
station, on South street. 1t was said by
several witnesses to the accident that the
hagman erred in giving orders for the de-
partment to proceed across the track when
the Ireight train was approaching at such
high speed.
The fire was an insignificant blaze in the
chair factory, caused by the overlooking
of a glue pot. The damage is estimated

only the total vote on secretary of state
has been computed for the purpose of get

the State. The guessing contests of a

has received hundreds of post cards and
letters making inquiry to the number of
votes cast. He has had several hundreds
of post cards printed with the vote of each

the back. This is less expensive and more
convenient than writing a letter TO each in

EASTERN INSANE HOSPITAL.
Report of DIR. 8. f. Smith EmbOdie,
Important Recommendation

The biennial report of the Eastern Hos
pital for the Insane at Richmond was filed
yesterday by DR.. Samuel E. Smith, the
superintendent. DR.. Smith also had a short
conference with Governor Durbin before
the latter left for New York.
The report shows that the total dsburse-
ment of the institution for 1901 was s117,-
5O6.4O. The per capita cost of maintenance
including clothing, was s17S37 The cost
of food for one days board of each patient
is 1872 cents. In 1902 the total dsburse-
ment was Sl6l 3S6.S9 and the per capital cost
of maintenance was $1751S
The report recommends to the Governor
that a change be made in insanity laws.
Insanity proceedings should be conducted
by the Judge of the Circuit Court in closed
chambers. Medical examiners appointed by
the court should examine the accused and
submit report in writing The person de-
clared insane should never be committed
to Jail unless known to be dangerous. The
practice of deceiving an insane person for
any cause whatever should be prohibited.
1t is recommended also that $4,000 be
appropriated each year for maintenance,
addition to the administration room and
So, 900 for an addition to the dining room.
DR.. Smith reports a falling off in tuber-
culosis in the institution. Less than IA per
cent. of the deaths this year were due to
the disease as against Is per cent. the pre-
ceding year.
There are now 653 patients in the institu-
ton, which is taxed to the limit of its ca
pacity.

FLINT GLASS men MEET
TWENTY-FIVE MANUFACTURERs
CONFER AT THE DENIsON.
Question OF a Universal Selling List
Under Consideration-Little In
formation Given Out.

There was an important conference OF
the flint glass manufacturers of the country
in a room on the top floor Of the Denison
Hotel yesterday. There were about twenty
five men in attendance, and every district
of the national association was represented.
The meeting was an informal one it was
stated by one of the men present, to dis
cuss the question of universal selling list.
No information as to the result of the con-
ference was given out.
The National Association of Flint Glass
Manufacturers is divided into four districts
the Eastern. Pittsburg, Northern and
Western. The Western district comprises
the States of Indiana, Ohio and Illinois, and
the members hold monthly meetings in this
city. The articles of association state that
the object OF the organization is to promote
good-fellowship among the members, but at
the same time the business features of the
industry not overlooked. AT present
each district has a selling list, and 1t is
said that there Is lack of uniformity
among the four lists that resulted in the
movement for a universal list
One of the manufacturers when asked the
result of the meeting replied in a depreca-
tory tone that IL was merely an informal
gathering.
''The men who are here just happened to
drop in,' he said, land while they were
here they discussed the selling list question.
Oh, no, there Is no trust feature to such
an arrangement. A universal list will mere
ly keep prices uniform, and then when
there is any cutting We can tell right where
IL was done and who did It,"
Were the prices of flint glass products
raised at the meeting?"
BLESS you, no. 1t will take six months
to perfect the list and we did nothing but
talk the matter over
Fifteen OF the men who happened to
drop in for the meeting yesterday were
from the Western district, while the others
were from various parts of Pennsylvania,
West Virginia, New York and other East
ern States. The names Of those present
would not be given out. and the men did
not register at the Denison.
