CLOSE CALI FOR
MORNING TRAIN
Burlington Engine Ran on Rails
at End OF Crescent
Bridge.

The crew and passengers on No. As,
the southbound train on the Burling-
ton, this morning had narrow es-
cape from being caught in a SER
ious catastrophe. The accident
happened at the end of the trestle
leading to the north end-ef the Cres-
cent bridge. There is Y at that
point and the switch to it was in some
manner opened
The engine of No. 4S left the rails
and went some distance on the ties,
but very fortunately did not leave
them. Had it done so it would un-
doubtedly have pulled some of the
cars off with it and lives would GER
tainly have been lost.
As it was, the engine was damaged
somewhat. one cylinder being torn
loose by the rail and other parts be-
ing disarranged. 1t required about
three hours to get the track opened,
and during that time the line was
tied up.

NEW SIGNS LIKELY
Council Resolution Passed Pro.
Viding for Street
Markers.
MORE MONEY FOR PARK MEN
BirkeI Would Keep Dogs
Out of the Public
Squares.

According to a resolution offered
the council last evening by Aid. Ben
son, and which was unanimously
adopted, the city clerk is instructed
to proceed at once to get figures for
new street and avenue signs. When
this is done the council will likely
provide for the replacement of street
and avenue signs at all street inter
sections i'm the city. The improve
ment is one much needed. as in many
sections of the city the venerable old
street indicators have long ago sue
cumbed to various misfortunes or else
are scarcely legible. While the need
is not so apparent to the older resi-
dents who are familiar with the
streets and system of numbering, yet
the stranger is often puzzled.
Pay Increased.
The park tenders at Garnsey square
and Spencer square were given in
creaseS of salary. Hereafter the ten
der at the latter will receive $53i fin
stead of $4S, while the official at earn
sey square is advanced from $45 to
$50 per month.
On recommendation of Aid. West
bay the plat of the Longview second
addition was adopted with the pro-
sion that 800 should be furnished to
bring streets and alleys to grade 1t
was also moved that the brick and
stone work at Black Hawk springs
be brought down to grade to conform
with the street level.
VIII Remove Dirt.
Five thousand yards of clay are to
be removed from II. f. Krelrs lot on
Twentieth street to the First and
ing lower portions and for establish
ing street ard sidewalk grades. A
resolution providing for this work
was passed and it will soon be com
menced. The clay is to be removed
from a strip lying between the paw,
ing and the lot line.
Aid. Birkel convulsed the council by
making a suggestion to the effect that
signs should be placed in the squares
notifying dogs to keep out. The coun
! ell was at Il loss to understand this
as the average Rock Island dog has
not developed a literary streak. The
alderman explained that he meant
the sign to he read by the owners ot
the dogs. and explained that the ami
mails worked havoc among the flow
ers. uprooting them and the like. Tho
| city clerk was instructed to look NJ
the cost of such signs when securing
estimates on the street and avenue
! signs.

who would listen about the good old
times in ''Mizzouri" and "Arkansaw."
She says she intends to go back to

SMALLPOX CASES,
No Developments in the Situation
in This City.

There are no developments in
the smallpox situation in this city. The
discovery made by Health officer Har-
r1s, Monday, that several cases had
broken out in the North End was not
pleasing intelligence, but it is thought
that the disease may be confined to the
two families where it was first located.
All that We're exposed to the disease
have been placed in the pest house.
Mrs. Gagne and her three children, Mrs.
Quirion with two children and Thomas
LarOchelle, who boarded at the Quirion
house, are at the pest house. Three of
the children have the disease without
doubt, and so has LarOchelle. The two
other children have symptoms but it
cannot be decided as yet, whether or
not they are really afflicted.
Workmen were engaged. yesterday,
in building an addition to the pest
house. 1t is located near the present
building, and is 10X20 feet in size. 1t
will be finished, today.
Dr. Mary J. Conant is in charge of
the cases at the pest house.

1t is stated on good authority that a
new boat will he placed on the trans
fer route of the Eastern Steamship CO.,
next spring. to take the place of the
Della Collins. The new boat will be
larger in every way than the Collins,
and built with a view to giving the
best of service to the large aud grow
ing list of up river patrons of the COM
pany. She will be $50 feet in length,
with 81 foot beam, While the Collins is
but los feet with rs foot beam. 1t is not
vet decided whether or not the new
boat will be "A side wheeler. or have Il
wheel at the stern, like the Collins,
but she will be light draught, and fast.
Another change which will come with
the new boat is that the large steam
ers which have heretofore come up the
river as far as Gardiner, will only come
TO Bath. while the new boat will run
between Augusta and Bath, to accom-
modate the up river passengers. Moth
ing has been said as to the future of
tho Collins. but probably she will be

spot along the lower Kennebec. She is
