City Attorney Breen, in response to ques-
lions. said the council had the right to
fix reasonable regulations for the charges
by public service corporations in cases
where the charges are not fixed in the
franchises or by contract, and even then
under certain conditions. He wanted time
to give an opinion as to whether the coun-
on has the right to order the street rail-
way company to, pave any distance outside

Killed on Blue Ridge TrestIe.

Last Wednesday afternoon, when re-
turning from her school, Mamie Single
ton, colored, was run over by freight
train on the Blue Ridge trestle over
Spring street, in Walhalla. She died
about half an hour later from injuries re-
ceived. She was the teacher Of the col
ored public school, and had held the po-
sition for several years. Living on South
Broad street, it was her custom to go to
and from her school by walking the rail
way tracks. Last Wednesday afternoon
a heavy snow was falling as Mamie Sim
gleton and one of her pupils went home.
A freight train backing out of the yards
approached unseen by her, and the engi.
peer failed to see the signals owing to
the heavy snow. The young woman was
run over just before she had reached the
end of the trestle, both legs being cut off,
and she was badly bruised and crushed
on the head and body. The young girl
who accompanied her was badly hurt,
but will recover. She was knocked from
the track and badly bruised about the
head, her skull being crushed. The
death of Mamie Singletonsis deeply re-.
gretted on all sides. She was univer-
sally respected by those who knew her.
Intelligent, respectful, quiet and unob-
trusive, she was q young woman Of
whom white and colored alike bad but
good to say. Her remains were buried
at Flat Rock colored cemetery, near
town, on Thursday afternoon.

ing. The origin of the fire is not known.
The flames were first discovered in the
press room of tho oil mill, and soon
spread to the other rooms. Practically
the entire oil mill plant was burned.
The gnnery escaped. A small wooden
wood shop, was also Durned. The Town
vile Oil Mill was owned by stock com
pany, of which l.. N. Gcer is president.
1t was established about ,tree years ago
and has BEEN very successful. 1t was
unique in the history of cotton seed oil
mills, in that it was located ten miles
from railroad. The plant was insured
for $16,500 in j. FL. Won Hasseln g. Sons
agency, of this city, and this probably
covers the loss.
