KEEPING NEW YORK CLEAN.


II costs much more than the average
person is aware to keep the streets of
New York fr"e Of snow and ice To make
possible the continuance Of traffic, the
snow, after n storm. has to be quickly
cleared away and dumped into the river.
There is well-arranged system by which
the city Is divided into districts, whose
surface area is 100000 square yards.
Every inch Of snow fall means 10000
cubic yards Of snow to be removed, at
the rate Of % cents per cubic yard. The
weather bureau gives the depth of the
snow fall and thus 1t Is an easy matter
for the commissioner to ascertain the
amount to be removed For instance
in a recent storm the fall was FIVE inches
in depth. milking the amount 10 he re
moved $4,000 cubic yards. 1t cost the
city over $4,000 TO get rid Of the effects
of the storm. Before the end Of the win
ter the cost will have run considerably
beyond 100000.

The passenger train was running at
high rate of speed and the freight, which
was proceeding east, under slow head
way, was to have taken the switch Mt
Wanstead to allow the passenger train
to pass. Apparently neither engineer
saw the danger in time q avert the acci-
dent, for the two engines zane together
near the west switch with a frightful
crash, oyerturning into the ditch. The
baggage and express ears telescoped into
the smoker with appalling results. The
wreck Wa complete and it is thought
that hardly a single passenger in the
smoker escaped injury. The other cars
of the passenger train remained on the
track
The Inflated express consisted of two
baggage cars, a smoker, two flrst-cass
coaches and two Pullmans. TIE smoker
which was telescoped by the coach be-
hind it, had the sides knocked out 0f it,
the roof falling and impTisoning the pas
scngors 1t was ia THE car that most Of
the awful havoc and loss of life occur
red.
The wreck shortly after the collision
caught fire aud but for the heroic efforts
of brigade of passengers organized and
led by an old man, who was himself n
passenger on the Inflated train, the dis
aster might have been more serious 10
those pinned down L. the wreck. BY
heroic efforts this brigade put out the
fire by throwing snow on the flames with
their hats and hands.
They then turned their efforts to get
ting ont the wounded. who had their
sufferings increased by binding snow
storm and the thermometer near zero.

the disappearance of the crown princess
was kept from the public. but it was at
last given out, because the court fiction
that she preferred to remain in retire
inert at Salzhurg rather than return TO
her husband and children at Dresden
could not longer be maintained.
About month ago Princess Louis,
accompanied by her husband went to
the castle of Emperor Francis Joseph,
near Sazburg, which is the capital OF
the duchy of Salzburg. A week after
their arrival at the castle the crown
prince broke his leg while hunting and
returned to Dresden. The princess, how
ever, remained at the Austrian castle,
and it was from there that she disap-
peared.
That her fight was premeditated is
manifest from the following passage in
a letter which the princess left: II re-
nounce all rights due me through my re
lationship to Frederick Augustus, Crown
Prince of Saxony."
Pr.acoss Louise went to Geneva. Swift

Gus behavior The archduke has since
been mixed mp in number of affairs
and was confined for some months in an
asylum.
On the other hand, the statement is
made by partisans of the Princess Louise
that her life had become unbearabIe.
What she complained of in the prince
was his intemperance, his infdelities and,
as her partisans affirm, his cruelty of dis
position.
Princess Louise Antoinette Marie,
Crown Princess of Saxony and an arch
duchess of Austria, was born Sept. 3,
1870, and was married to Prince Fred
erick Augustus, the present Crown
Prince of Saxony and the son of King
George, Nov. 81, 1891. The couple have
five children. three sons and two daugh-
tiers. the last one born year ago. Crown
Princess Louise has been described as
a remarkably brilliant woman, of very
high spirit, with pronounced disregard
for etiquette and taste for caricature
and bicycling. In Dresden she was not
ed FOR her extreme democracy.
