TROUBLESOME.
Soon Turned TO Rain and Made

.COVers Everything.
TROLLEYS DELAYE D.
Ceased Running for Several
Hours This Morning Causing
Much Annoyance.

The snow storm which struck this
city last night caused not only great
inconvenience to almost everybody but
was the cause OF number of mis-
haps, some of which were not so dan
gerous as they were troublesome.
The snow began TO fall about $50
o'clock. 1t was of the small, fluffy
sort and in short time it began to
pack solid. Later it became more
like rain and sleet and then the real
trouble started
The Public Service Corporation
had the snow cleaner at work, every
hour during the night, and while the
sweeper managed TO keep the tracks
clean of snow it could not prevent
the sleet from freezing to the guide
wire and at O'Clock this morning
things were in a fearful shape on the
local line, and cars could be run only
occasionally. At 6:30 o'clock, when
most of the employees OF the American
Smelling and Refining Works, the
Barber Asphalt Works, and many
other local concerns were ready TO
start for work the trolley cars stop
ped running altogether.
Started at . O'clock.
Although the trolley employees
made every effort possible to get
things in fair shape so that cars could
be run, it was not until 8 O'Clock that
the first car was again able to start.
In the meantime nearly all of the
workmen had been compelled to walk
to the different factories. Teachers in
the local public schools, who live in
distant parts of the city, waited as
long as they dared and then started
to walk to the schools, with the re-
suit that many of them were late.
Along shore the tide was unusual
ly high and when big brewery wag-
on, owned by the Feigenspan COM
pany, tried to haul the loaded truck
up the bridge to get on the ferryboat
Warren tc go TO Tottenville, shortly
after 7 O'Clock this morning, the
horses gave out. They struggled and
finally managed to get half ay up the
steep grade, when they stumbled and
the heavy wagon pulled them back
It was necessary 10 unload half the
contents of the wagon, before the
team could haul it aboard.
Resumed at . O'clock.
At s O'Clock a team of horses tried
to haul wagon load of coal aboard
the boat. The team was owned by
George j. Haney, who supplies the
Warren with coal. The tide was high
er than ever and it was necessary to
borrow two other horses from anoth-
er wagon before the coal could be
hauled on the boat.
Early this morning the merchants
had clerks or boys at work TO clean
up the snow and in most cases the
sidewalks along the main thorough
fares were cleared before O'Clock.
Shortly after o'clock rain set in.
This did but little good as it caused
only a general slush.

sion to speak. He said that he had
often tried to abate the trouble of
dumping garbage in the city limits,
but could not. He said that commit
tees had been appointed to see the
Board of Aldermen time and again;
that the aldermen had said they
would look into the matter, but had
at the next meeting. awarded the con
tract to the lowest bidder, who. of
course, had taken into consideration
that he would be able to dump within
the city limits, for the nearer the
place TO dump, the better it was foT
the contractor. The inspector said
that because of protests garbage CON
tractors had moved from one Dump
ing ground to another and that with
in short time something would have
to be done, for no matter where they
dumped refuse now the city had
grown so that complaints would come
in
The inspector spoke of the crema-
tory idea as the best remedy. He
said that the city could not afferd to
cart garbage TO sea, as this Would
mean a heavy expense. besides the
United States government is now SO
severe in this matter that the stuff
would have to be taken many miles
out. A crematory could be built. the
inspector said, SO that 1t would be
profit to the city. He said that with
one kind of a crematory, material
could be burned at the rate of 80
cents a ton, and that if the garbage
contained much fats and grease it
could be done for about 20 cents a
ton. The city could also take care
of its dead horses by this method al-
So
Under Old State Law.
Inspector Ramsay said that the
Board of Health in this city was
working under an old state law for
a second class city and that until il
was changed it would be found that
the Board of Health could not every
thing it wanted to. The inspector fur
ther said that no law was in exist
ence in this city to make man con-
meet with a sewer and that man who
wanted TO keep pings in this city
could not be prevented from doing
so, as the only law against this was
a old city law on the charter, which.
when the board of health tried to
force a man to take his pigs out of
the city few years ago, was found
would not hold.
The pector talked at some
length. told the board that he did
not want them to think he would take
of any technicality and
that the impression seemed to be
among a number of his friends from
a story printed thats'se was trying to
hold on to the offio5 of inspector This
was not SO, he said The salary of
$50 a month never paid man, who
made enemies in doing his duty. That
as soon as the new inspector would
qualify he would do all he could to
help him.
Bills for AntitOxin.
Two bills for antitoxin were pre-
sented. One was for $27. 1t was
from Barnekov & Petz. The other
was for S12. 40. 1t was from F. A.

by the Board of Health.

F!REMEN FIND FAULT
WITH ALARM SYSTEM
Have Called Aldermen's Attention
to the Matter and Something Is
to be Done.

Although the proper authorities
were notified some time ago by the
mayor to put the fire alarm system in
this city in first class shape, nothing
has sayet been done, as far as is
known, and every time an alarm is
sounded, the firemen are puzzled just
where to go.
Firemen, it is said, have appealed
to the aldermen and the city fathers,
it is expected, will look into the mat?
ter and if the system is not put in
shape, it is understood that payments
will be withheld.

New Jersey Telephone company in

TEN has not been in proper shape, and
although the company has been noti-
fed time and time again to put it in
order, it has been sadly neglected.
Firemcn Disgusted.
The firemen are disguSted with the
present state of affairs. They claim
that it wants to be entirely overhaul
ed and put in first class order. To
do this in proper shape it would take
a corps of expert electricians, who
would have to start from the first box
in the city and so to the last box, over
every wire and line and make thor
ough tests. This would not cost so
much and once the work was done up
in proper style competent man
could be put in position to look after
the system and when repairs We're
made necessary he could attend to
them.
Aldermen Will Help.
A number of firemen in speaking
about the matter to a NEWS repor-
ter. said that it was a shame the way
the company allowed the system to
run down, just because they did not
want to take the time or pains to
fix it up and have ii in first class or

Yesterday was the greatest day the
city of Tulsa has even seen. As was
chronicled exclusively in the Morning
World yesterday morning, the senate
of tlN United States at 6:20 Wednes-
day evening, adopted the Carter com
promise, admitting the territories OF
Oklahoma and IndianTerrltory Jointly
AZ a state into the union OF America.
II was then accepted by almost every
body as certain that the action would
be- ratified by the lower house of
congress al an early date But the
citizens OF the state, grown pessi-
mlstic, through years and years OF
fighting, hoping, trusting and praying
for Justice, had become so permeated
with the essence Of distrust that an
aggrayating skepticism clung to them
with such persistency that all their
reasoning and all their summOning Of
their common sense could not shake
off.
All day yesterday there was a quiet
feeling of eXuberance over the i'm
minence OF statehood, bat there was
no outward demonstration until the
house of Representatives actually
passed the bill. The people were
atraid-actuall afraid-to give vent
to any expression in the never-ending
fear that there might be some hitch
or controversy arise to delay the glad
tldings. The writer was greeted all

daily task that nature has set apart

Shackle Drug company, to ask for
a box of Swans Backache and Kid

If you do this you will have healthy
kidneys, and healthy kidneys mean a
