FATAL RACE OF AUTOMOBILE
Two Women Fatally Hurt when
Vehicle Fails TO Beat
street Car.

NEW YORK. July 1.-Two young women
were probably fatally hurt and their two
male companions had a remarkable escape
from injury today when the automobile
of Frederick E. Marshall OF st. Louis.
which had been borrowed by Mr.. Mar
shalrs chauffeur, was caught between an
elevated railway pillar and a street car
at Seventy ninth street and Third avenue.
The automobile was reduced almost TO
scrap iron. The forty-horse power ma
chine attempted TO race inIfront of a sur
face car bound down hill, and as II lodged
between the elevated pillars and whirled
onto the track 1t was pinched between the
car and a pillar. The rea, naIf OF the
automobile, in which were seated Miss
Cora Michaelis and Helen DonnschaUser,
two Of the chautfeurs friends, was de-
molished and the girls were so tangled in
the wreckage OF the car and automobile
that 1t took half an hour to extricate them
A male companion OF the chauffeur was
thrown out on the sidewalk, but the chaut-
feur was uninjured. Nearly all of the
occupants of the street car were thrown
TO the floor and the conductor was so Sc
verely injured that he was taken 10 a
hospital
Frederick Marshall. owner OF the ma.
chine, was not in the city at the time
OF the accident.

SIXTEEN HORSES CREMATED
Disastrous Early Morning Blaze in the
Ogden Livery Barn.
ONLY SEVEN HEAD IN THE STABLE SAVED
Fire Thought TO Have Been started
by some TrAmps who Were Sleep
ing in the Hay Now shortly
Before Fire started.

Sixteen head Of horses were either burned
| to death or sufTocated in a fire which par
! tally destroyed the Ogden livery at l5s
| West Broadway early yesterday morning
! Thirteen buggies, a hearse. and twenty
| eight sets Of harness were entirely or par
] TALLY destroyed as well several tons
| Of hay aud a quantity of feed.
Marks Company, proprietors of the
J livery barn, estimate their loss at between
| 5000 and 5000 with insurance of about
| $1,000 The building, which is owned by
A. N. Nash, was damaged to the extent of
about $1,000. fully covered by insurance.
When the fire broke out lhere were
/ twenty-seven head Of horses in the barn
and Of these only seven escaped Four,
which were gotten out after the fire had
I made considerable Roadway, were so badly
harmed that they had to be shot later to
be put out Of their misery. Five of the
seven horses which escaped broke loose
during the excitement and up to last even
ing only two of them had. been recovered.
Smoke was seen Issuing from the building
about $3.50 o'clock by a passer by who at
once aroused the men who were sleeping
| in the barn, and at the same time an
alarm was turned in. BY the time the
hremen reached the place the smoke was
difficulty in locating the flames. The water
! pressure was good and the flremen, once
! the location of the blaze was known, had
several streams playing. and by hard work
! soon had the fire under control Cd danger
| to the adjoining buildings averted.
| The origin of the fire, which rted In
| the hay loft, is unknown. Abou. midnight
the stablemen turned out two tramps who
had sought a sleeping place in the hay
and the supposition is that one of them
may have dropped the lighted end Of
cigar or cigarette which started the hay.
/ The front part Of the building facing on
Broadway practically escaped damage, the
portion burned being an old frame extern
sion at the rear which a few years ago
was covered with brick veneer and a
! corrugated iron roof. Mr.. Rich, the owner
of the building, carried $500 Insurance on
It and this it Is figured will cover the
loss.
Several OF the horses killed were the
property of private individuals, were a
number Of the vehicles. Among the ami
mails burned was the handsome driving
horse OF Pat Gunnoude OF the Arm of Gun
noude & Zurmuehlen. Mr.. Gunnoude also
lost fine phaeton and a new set Of hand
made harness.

TO work DREDGE ron. A TIME
city Decides Not to sell Machine for



The city council after driving 10 the
point on Indian creek where the dredge Is
moorcd and inspecting the conditions, re-
turned to the city hall and held a late
meeting
Aldermen Olson. Maloney and Crippen
favored doing about three days more work
with the dredge and selling the machine
as soon as possible, as the city needed the
money in the sewer fund for cleaning tho
creek uptown. Alderman Weaver. how
ever insisted that about 1000 yards more
Of the g, creek be dredged over again to
clean out the mud which has drifted down
since the first dredging and he carried the
day. This will take about three weeks, at
the end of which the committee is en-
powered TO solicit offers for the machine
The dredge cost the city in the first place
$500 and the expense of dredging to date
had been over $4,000. The committee ex-
poets to be able to sell the dredge for
about $3.50.
The request Of property owners on North
Second street between Fletcher avenue
ana Avenue f that the width between the
curbs be reduced to twenty-six feet, was
granted. This portion of the street is or
dered paved.
Alderman Maloney called attention to
the tact that John G. Woodward had not
for a year or more supplied water for the
drinking fountain at Broadway and Glen
avenue. A few years ago Mr. Woodward
offered to supply the fountain with all
the surplus water from his artesian WELL
provided the citizens would erect the foun-
tain. This they did, but the fountain has
been dry for the last two years and It is
presumed there is no longer any surplus
water from the we'll Aldermen Maloney
and Younkerman were appointed a special
committee to wait on Mr.. Woodward and
In the event OF him being unable to further
furnish the water the fountain is TO be
removed.
