The accident happened opposite the Clel-
land factory. The freight had orders to get
to the lap track west of the Clelland
factory and let the passenger by. A broken
drawbar caused six minutes' delay. The
engineer sent the brakeman ahead to nag
the PASSENGER. The freight stopped at the
Washington street crossing, but soon fol-
possible to see fifty feet ahead. Opposite
the Clelland factory the fagman saw the
passenger coming at full speed. He had just
time to give shout and tuup for safety.
Both engines were reversed when they met,
but the momentum was not checked to any
extent
The passenger train consisted Of six cars.
There were two baggage and express
cars, q smoker, q ladies' coach. the Pull
man sleeper Woodland and tourist sleeper.

smoker nearly its length The shock threw
the people from their seats. The passen-
gers from the other cars rushed to the

Action has been taken to render inopera-

the General Assembly making 10 per cent
Of employees wages subject to levy under

The issue is of interest to every business
man and property holder. and also every

The point upon which the matter will be
determined. was raised yesterday in Justice

LANDLORDS USE Law.
It could also be used by landlords to COM

A stattts regulation requires monthly
tenants to give such notice. but 1t is dis

property subject to execution.
To live up to the law would generally
mean that the tenant would have to pay
double rent for one month. He would have
to pay for the premises he was occupying

to remove.
