Last night at the meeting of the
mayor and board of aldermen there
was presented for their consideration
by the Hattiesburg Light and Power
company the franchise for a street
railway and also for the establish
ment of plants, apparatus. etc., for
the purpose of supplying the city with
steam heating and with hot water
The conditions of the franchise are
thoroughly in accord anee with the
most conservative demands of such
corporations, and is certain to be
acted on favorably by the mayor and
board of aldermen, and being present.
ed by the Hattiesburg Light and
Power company, one of the strongest
concerns in the city, it is equally
certain that the work will be begun
ON it in short time and verything
done in the most thorough and modern
manner.
If carried to successful consumma-
tion this is move that will result
in the greatest good for the upbuild-
ing of Hattiesburg and will be as pro-
fitable investment for the promoters
as could we'll be made. Both enter
prises, the street railway and the
steam and hot water heating, will
add infinitely to the prosperity of
the city, and especially will the former
be of great benefit. They are among
the most needed things that 60 to
make up large and prosperous city,
and as Hattiesburg is rapidly becoming
in those two things at the head of
all of the cities in the state, in pro-
portion to size, the value of this
enterprise cannot be overestimated.

a single one. Engineer Hale had or
ders to get out of the way of the pas
sengre train, but for some reason
which has not yet been explained he
over stayed his time and failed to
take siding so that the passenger
train could pass. The trains came
together with a horrible crash and a
fearful scene of panic ensued when the
occupants of the cars realized what
had occurred
Train No. 30 was made up of an ex-
press car, baggage car, two day coaches
and two Pullman cars.
The two Pullman cars formed an
early morning New York connection
at Washington for Atlanta and the
south. The train arriving here at 10:-
80 a. m. also connected with No. 3d.
One of the passenger cars was a
second class day coach and the other
a vestibuled car. Engineer McCOr-
mick, who was a passenger on the
freight train, was going to Charlotts-
vile to take train south at the time
he met his death.
The engineer of the freight train
escaped without injury.
1t is estimated here there were in
all probably 1870 passengers on the
train, including these from Boston
and intermediate points.
