WILL DISCUSS
THE GARBAGE
QUESTION
And the Board Of Works Requests
All Who Have Complaints,
to Be Present.

A special meeting of the Board of
Public Works was held yesterday af-
ternoon to take some action upon the
continued and numerous complaints
that reach the city hall regarding gar
bage not being properly removed.
Contractor Lag was before the
board and it seemed as though the
hoard would annul the contract, but
1t was decided to hold another meet
ing inasmuch as the contractor con
tends that he is living up to his con-
tract and is removing garbage from
the streets as demanded by the terms
of the agreement.
The board decided to hold meeting
this afternoon at o'clock in order to
hear those who had been making
complaints about garbage not being
removed before taking action. Those
who have kicks to make can appear
before the board this afternoon AID
make them. In fact they are invited
to do so. Upon 1t depends whether or
not the present contractor will hold
the contract.

BY Associated Press.

Salisbury, England, July 2.-Every
effort to discover the cause of last
nights accident to the American line
limited has thus far failed, railroad
experts and representatives or the
coroner and board of trade having ex-
ahmed inch by inch the rails on which
the accident occurred. The confusion
Is accentuated by the death Of the en-
CINE driver and stoker.
The inquest has been adjourned for
q fortnight.
Only relatives of the injured or
those representing the officials are adj
mitted to the infirmary.
The scene of yesterdays disaster
10 the American line special from Ply
mouth, having on board the passen-
gers who were landed there from the
steamer New York, presents little EVIL
dence today of the havoc wrought by
the wreck of the express train, all the
wreckage having been cleared away.
No further deaths have been re-
corded, but Robert s. Critchell, of Chi
cago. and Miss L. S. GriswOld, OF
Heath, near EPSON, passed bad
night and the cases are critical. Miss
Margaret Rask, of Norfolk street,
Park Lane, London. whose legs have
been amputated, and E. w. Senteli, OF
Brooklyn, N. Y, are in a dangerous
condition at the ermory.
Miss May Hitchcock, of New York,
passed fairly good night and Is do
ing well. a
The bodies of the dead are still in
the waiting rooms Of the railroad sta
ton. Where no relatives are Navaila-
BILE, the identiications of the dead
will be made by the doctor and purser
of the New York.
The bodies of the American victims
are being embalmed for conveyance
home.
e. w. Sentell rallied somewhat as
the day advanced and after consulta-
ton with the doctors, the chaplain Of
the infirmary was allowed to convey
to him the news of the death of his
wife, son and two daughters. The
heart-rending tidings overcame the old
gentleman and a serious relapse fol-
lowed, but restoratves were success
fully administered
Replying to the sympathetic condo

re nc He's
HOME
Man Who Had Such q Rough Ex-
perience on the DharWar is
Now at Home.

Lewis Silcox, the farmer from near
Bluff Springs, who recently stated in
New York that he was shanghaed on
the bark Dharwar, and carried to Ant
werp, has reached his home after an
absence of about fifteen months, and
it Is needless to say that he will re-
main there in future.
Silcox it will be remembered was
landed at Antwerp with only shillings,
which the captain gave HIM for MAX
ing the voyage and came near starv-
ing to death.
He had a most trying experience and
walked to Worcester, where he re-
NAMED for some time and was final
ly arrested for vagrant and sentenced
to term in prison, where he was
found by the police court missioner,
who secured the address of his moth
er, and writing finally securing mon
ey and sent him home. But for the
fact that the court missioner interest
ed himself in Silcox, it Is probable
that he would have been much longer
in reaching his home.

DAMAGE
BY FLOOD IN
NEBRASKA
CIoudhurst at Lincoln the Heaviest
Ever Known Streams
Out Of Banks.
BY Associated Press.

Lincoln, Neb., July 1.-THE cloud
burst which flooded this vicinity last
night was the heaviest ever known
here, and caused property losses of
many thousands of dollars in Lincoln
alone. In the business streets the
water was more than two feet deep
and the sewers, being unable to carry
off such quantity, the water ran
into the Easements Of all the stores,
causing losses that range from few
hundred dollars to several thousand.
The department stores which have
displays in their Easements are the
heaviest losers. The city pumping
stations were flooded and the water
supply was almost cut OF. The dam
age in the residence portions of the
city was heavy. All the streams in
Southeastern Nebraska are out of
their banks, and damage to crops is
considerable.
