Three persons were Injured, one OF
them probably fatally, in collision
between a double carriage and Griffin
avenue car No. 433 at Figueroa
and Jefferson streets at 1880 o'clock
last evening.
Mrs. ]. M. Voss, who was i'll, was
being taken to the Good Samaritan
hospital. Complications of her illness
with the terrible shock of the accident
and the injuries received undoubtedly
will prove fatal.
Mrs. bubbles injuries are of SER
ious nature but DR.. Coffee. the attend
ing physician. believes that she will
recover.
While Mr. Lott was badly bruised and
scratched. he was able to care for him
self and assist the injured women.
Mrs. Hubble and Mrs. Voss were sent
to the California hospital while Lott
returned to his home unaSsiSted.
After the debris had been cleared
away. Lott was seen. He said that he
was driving north on F'igueroa street
and was Watching a westbound car on
Jefferson street The car that he was
watching was running very fast, says
Lott, and when he first saw the east
bound car, which struck the carriage.
it was upon him. In another instant
the crash came.
Has Strange Premonltlon
Lott is proprietor of the Bay View
stab bles at Thirtyfirst and Hoover
streets. Shortly after o'clock he Tcas
called to Mrs. Voss' home. 3532 Nc
CIintock street. to take her to the hos
ptal. Not having a driver in the barn
at the time. Lott decided to go with
the Garage himself.
Premonition of impending danger
filled B. NJ Hubble when his wife told
him she was about to accompany Mrs
Voss to the hospital. She asked Hub
BILE what caused the fear and he re-
pied that he felt that there would he
a runaway.
Mrs Hubble answered her husband
lightly and held TO her decision to go.
Lott drove to Figueroa street and then
turned north on that street.
"When but a few feet from Jeffer-
son street said Lott, my attention
was attracted by the changing of
gong of a westbound car on Jefferson
street | watched that car closely and
as it passed I drove onto the east
bound track. AS the horses pulled on
the track 1 saw the eastbound car.
Ambulances Quickly Called
at struck the carriage in the md
die, threw the women out on the north
side of the tracks and hurled me with
the carriage to the left. The motor
man did not ring his gong and was
running at a terrific speed"
From Hubble it was learned that Mrs
Voss has been an invalid snce the death
of her husband about a year ago. Re-
Gently she was confined to the hospi-
tai but recovered sufficiently to return
home She was taken i'll again and
yesterday the doctors recommended
that she be sent to the hospital.
Soon after the crash came the police
were on the scene. The officers called
the ambulance from the central police
station as all three victims of the ac-
cident We're unconscious. Mr.. Lott and
Mrs Hubble recovered consciousness
about the same time and directed that
Mrs. Voss be sent to the California
hospital.

COAL SITUATION
BECOMING SERIOUS,
Mexico Merchants Have None on
Hand and Are Doubtful if ANY
Can Be Obtained Schools
and Institutions Up
Against It.

The probability of protracted Goa
famine in this city is admitted bi
nearly all local dealers The situation
as present, Is alarming to degree.
Guthrie s. Son, are out of coal ant
Mr.. A. P. Guthrie Is in st. Louis al
present, trying to obtain shipment
The Sellard Coal Yard has none on
hand and W. G. Sims s. Son, being un
able to procure coal, have closed theil
yard until next August. e. I. Smith
and O. e. Harrison are In the same
predicament and don't know wher
they will be able to obtain supply.
The Mexico Water Works Company
has enough coal on hand to last three
or possibly four days If used sparingly
and the Ringe Hotel, being unable to
procure any. is laying In supply Of
wood.
Supt. Hawthorne, OF the Mexico
Public Schools says that II these in
stitutions can not secure coal Monday
they will be forced TO close temporar-
ily, as their bins are empty.
The outlook at Hardin College,
while at present not critical, is alarm
ing and President Million is In St,
Louis learning what he can about the
situation and endeavoring to obtain o
shipment.
The Mexico Electric Light Com
pany and the Fire Brick Company
have each prepared against famine
and are In a position to Withstand a
protracted seige, the latter company
having between fifteen and twenty
cars on the track and en- route.
In addition to this, many families
in the resident portion Of the city are
shiyering beside cold flre-places OF
spending the evenings with their for
tunate neighbors who have a fire.
AS this news was being committed
to paper, the LEDGER's devil entered
the front Office with the startling and
cheerful information that our own
coal bin is as empty as the purse Of the
Prodigal son, when that worthy re.
turned to bis home.
