about half way across the meadows,
when the steers wandered onto the

whistle, but the animals didn't bulge,
and the engine ran them down, kill
ing all three. The locomotive itself
was thrown from the rails by the col
lison, and was followed by the five cars

across the tracks in such a way as to
completely block them. A wrecking

The citizens Of the town are to be
congratulated on the great improves
ments which the trustees Of the Ly-
ceum building have made ia the hall.
The fears which many have had that
the means of exit were not sufficient
have been met by the erection of an
additional flight Of steps from the
gallery to the main floor and by the
building Of a wide iron staircase lead
ing from the hall to the street on the
north side of the building. The ave
nues Of exit from the hall have thus
been practically doubled in capacity
thereby providing the widest measure
OF security. Other provisions for all
ditional safety have been made while
by new decorations the appearance of
the hall has been greatly improved.
The trustees Of the building have
rendered generous public service il
making these improvements and the
hall is now one which answers to the
needs Of the community.

Tore Down the Trestle.

Summit city officers took drastic
measures Wednesday night in the con-
troversy with the Railway Valley
Railroad Company over the erection
of a trestle over Sherwood avenue in
East Summit. The company had
placed the piers of this on the public
street there without asking permis-
sion from the Common Council, and
when the council applied to Vice
Chancellor Stevens for an injunction
to compel the removal of that part OF
the bridge extending on the public
street it was denied.
Wednesday light Councilmen Frank.
lin, Vreeland and Owens and Engineer
Rich, with the entire police force and
a large delegation of the city's work
men, sailed forth at about II O'Clock
and attacked the piers and bridges.
They soon had the entire structure
demolished, the councilmen directing
the work. A foreman OF the railway
company was at the scene, but made
no attempt to interfere.
