PANHANDLE MAKES KICK
NOT UNSUITABLE HOWEVER
Company Complains That il is AS
sessed Too Much for Construction
Of Cement Sidewalk Along Sheri-
dan Street.

representative of the engineering
department. of the Pennsylvania
local offices, called at the office of
City Engineer Charles yesterday af-
ternoon to enter a gentle protest
against the assessment made by The
city against the railroad company for
the construction of a cement sidewalk
along Sheridan street. The real es-
tate department of the railroad COM
pany to which the assessment for the
improvement in question had been for
warded, was of the opinion that there
should be but 10 feet of company
property included in the assessments
while the city charged the company
with 14S feet. Engineer Charles, in
formed the railroad representative
that the company's map either was
wrong or else an error had been made
in the calculation, for the frontage
on Sheridan street of 14S feet charg
ed against the company is absolutely
correct.

THE DEAD NUMBER SIXTY
7 BODIES NOT RECOVERED
Its Victims Buried rderneath-In-
quest is to Begin Tomorrow and
Will Last a Week.

Atlantic City, n j., Oct. 30.-With
all the recovered bodies identified and
seven persons reported missing. the
authorities and railroad officials are
certain that the number killed on Sun
day in the drawbridge disaster on the
West Jersey Seashore electric railroad
will not exceed 60. Fifty-two bodies
have been claimed. two of those
placed among the missing are known
to be dead and FIVE are still unac-
counted for. These seven victims are
believed to be wedged beneath the
second passenger coach. which is held
fast in the muddy bottom of the Thor
oughfare. Efforts to dislodge this car
produced little result. The ponderous
trucks. weighing 100 tons, have sunk
deep In the mud AS a last resort it
was suggested that the wreckers use
dynamite TO blow up the car. but this
will not be done unless all other plans
fail. The inquest will begin on Thurs
day and Coroner Haskil thinks that
il may be a week or more before a
verdict Is reached.

NEW SCHOOL is WANTED
CARRIED INTO POLITICS
Perry Township Has "Citizens"
Ticket in the Field Pledged to Build
Election.

Perry Township is one OF those in
Wayne county which presents it's vo-
tiers this year with two township tick
cts. The Citizens" ticket, which goes
on the ballot by petition will oppose
the regularly nominated Republican
ticket on the issue of a new school
house. According to some of the best
known men of Economy, the school
house in that village. which was built
forty years ago, has become utterly
nnsuited to the needs of the township.
Not only is the building lily arranged
but ii is also declared that from san
itary standpoint it would be con-
demned by the State Board of Health
were it to be subject to investigation.
The regularly nominated Republican
nominees for members of the town
ship advisory board. or at least two
Of the three, are said to be opposed
to the building of a new school build
ing at this time, on the ground that
it would make the taxes excessive.
The citizens" ticket nominees, it is
stand pledged to the new
building idea. On this issue it has
been expected that there will be warm
fight in the village next Tuesday.

DIARIES ARE IN
GOOD CONDITION
DR.. Hoover Says That There
is Disposition Among Dairy
men to Obey the Law
FEW COMPLAINTS HEARD
WHEN SICK COWS ARE FOUND
THEY ARE ISOLATED AT ONCE
AND THEIR MILK is NOT AL
LOWED TO BE SOLD.

There are twenty-eight dairies that
dispose of their milk to Richmond
citizens" said DR.. Hoover. city in
spector of dairies yesterday, land the
are in good condition. There is d
disposition among the dairymen to
comply with the order to keep their
COW stables in the best possible san
itary condition and most of them
have excellent quarters provided,
while the others are doing everything
they can to improve conditions.
There have been few complaints
made regarding milk in Richmond the
past summer, due to the fact that
the dairymen see to it that every re-
ceptacle in which milk is placed, is
kept in clean condition. There have
been only a few instances where 1
have discovered sick COWS and In all
such cases / have had these animals
isolated from the remainder of the
herds and kept so until they recover
ed. In no instance has milk from
such cows been brought to the city"
DR.. Hoover makes an immediate an
alysis of samples of suspicious milk
submitted to him by any dairy's pat,
ron, but up to this time there has
not been a single case during the
summer or fall in which complaints
made have proved justitiable. Com
pared with many cities of Rich
monds size, the sanitary conditions
of diaries here is much the best and
the product comes nearer being up
to the standard at all times than in
any of the larger cities.

PRISONERS BUSY
DIGGING TRENCH
Effort Being Made to Make
Heating County Jail a
Success.
WILL DRAIN PIPE LINE
THOSE FAMILIAR WITH CONDI-
TIONS BELIEVE THAT JAIL
SHOULD HAVE HEATING PLANT
OF ITS OWN.

A half-dozen county Jail prisoners
have begun the task Of digging the 500
foot trench, uncovering the steam
pipeline between the court house and
the county jail, for the purpose of lay
ing tile to drain the bed of the pipe
line. The task is a big one and will
require at least ten days or two weeks
Considering the fact that the Jail in
mates are working for glory only, they
are putting in good ticks and are I'M
der the foremanship of Ray Harris,
turnkey.
The county Jail during the work on
the pipe line, practically is without
heat. The furnace in the jail proper
is being used and is giving good en-
ough results for the present weather
conditions Sheriff Smiths residence,
however, is without heat, save that
furnished by CRATES.
Will Always be Expensive.
The opinion is growing among coun-
ty officials and others who have taken
the pains to investigate y e premises
that the pipeline system for heating
the county jail may eventually be
made a success, but it always will be
more expensive than if the county Jail
were provided with heating plant
of its own. The idea that first pre-
vailed, to the effect that the surplus
steam from the court house plant
could be forced to the Jail with prac-
tically no expense, has not been borne
out by practical demonstration. it is
asserted. Not only must considerable
steam pressure be maintained during
the night when the court house is de-
serted, but an extra engineer is nee
essary, and the fuel is corresponding
~ increased. 1t is declared by some
persons. qualified to understand the
situation, that the county could save
money by abandoning the pipe line
and putting in a heating plant at the
Jail that would be entirely independ-
ent of the court house plant. 1T may
take several years to demonstrate this
to the board of commissioners" a
critic said yesterday, but eventually
it will be plain and then there will be
a radical change"

BARGE and Crew Lost.

Alpepa. Mich, Oct 30.-It is feared
that the tow barge Thomas H. Ca
hoon, owned in Saginaw, is lost, with
crew of seven men. The Cahoon
was in tow of the steamer Homer
Warren and anchored off Thunder bay
island Saturday night The Cahoon
broke loose during the height of the
gale and drifted out into Lake Huron.
1t is possible that the barge may have
drifted across the lake to the Cana
dian shore, but vesselmen do not think
the boat could have lived in the gale.

Earthquake Shock Followed by
Colossal Tidal Wave.
Ii Is Understood the Famous Hotel
Was Most Completely
Demolished.
LIFE LOSS is LIKELY HEAVY

Oakland, Cal, April 21.-The Cliff
house. at the western end of Golden
Gate park. the famous San Francisco
resort, has been swept into the sea.
1t is understood that the hotel has
been completely demolished. and that
not a stick or a stone has been left
standing. The news is confirmed by
the captain of little schooner, which
shot the gate without a tow and man
aged miraculously to make dockage
In Oakland. Far out at sea he saw
the city as a pun OF smoke which be-
came a binding haze as he crawled
nearer to land. He reports vessels
standing off the heads. afraid to ven
ture in because OF the smoke and the
lack of tows.
There is no knowledge to be had
here of the number of guests in the
hotel at the time, but the loss of
life must necessarily have been hea-
Wy.
The Cliff house was one OF the
show places of San Francisco. II was
a long, four-story building, built of
redwood, and stood upon high cliff,
overlooking the Pacific ocean. The
entire building was painted white,
and was surrounded by wide veran-
das. Because of its unique location,
| IL was invariably visited by all the
tourists who came to San Francisco.
Within a short distance OF the cliff
on which the hotel stood are the IA
nous seal rocks. where at certain
seasons of the year hundreds OF seals
can be seen lazily summing themselves
On the beach near by were the
Sutro baths, which. are reported also
to have been destroyed. These baths
were the largest in the world. They
were owned by the Sutro estate. and
| were patterned on the old Roman
style of architecture.
Although the details concerning
the destruction of the Cliff house are
still very meager. II is understood
that the work Of the earthquake was
assisted by colossal tidal wave, and
that the two forces of devastation,
acting together. left nothing but the
solid rock behind them. There re-
mains no sign to tell that building
ever occupied that conspicuous site.
