COLLECTING WATER DUES.
La Grandc Is After $1,000 Unpaid
Water Rentals.

Attention is called to the signed
statement in this and other issues of
the week, from the water committee
Of the council. 1t has to do with the
water subscribers who are in arrears
and tells its own story. Many of the
leading business men of the city are
behind in their water rent, and ac-
cording to the signed statement, their
water will be turned off on the speci-
fled date unless the arrears are paid
up to date.
Discontinue will be avoided by
reading the motive and complying
with the request. About $500 rep
resents the water rent due, and the
city council will insist that it be paid
and kept up.
By September 1 every city water
consumer in La Grande will receive
a card calling attention to the fact
that all consumers of water on the
flat rate must pay one month in ad-
vance, and all who have meters must
pay by the tenth of the month. These
cards are sent out by the recorder as
per instructions of the water CONF
mittee. AS stated, each consumer
will receive a notice, but those who
have already complied with the no.
tice need have no fears that the water
will be shut off. The city means
business and Mayor Richardson ha:
| instructed the water superintendent
to see that the ordnance is strictly
enforced. The city needs the money
and it will be necessary to use strin'
gent means to reduce the delinquen
| list to zero.

 Shaken Up.

Botsford, Sept 6-In collisions here tonight between freight train and a passenger George Chambers, fireman of the freight, was killed, and several persons on the passenger train were slightly injured
 The point at which the accident oc- curred is the junction, of the two branches of the Berkshire division of the New York, New Haven & Hartford railroad, one branch starting at New Haven and the other at Bridgeport. The freight was a through train from New Haven to Poughleepsie and the big mogul engine, one of the largest on the line, was just starting across the track with its string of thirty cars to take the siding for the passenger to pass when the latter came along. The engines side swiped, and the mogul was toppled over on its side across the New Haven tracks. Chambers was pinned beneath it and his life crushed out. The passenger engine was derailed and thrown across the other tracks so that both branches were blocked The pas senger was local which had left Bridgeport about the time the freight left New Haven.
 Several passengers were slightly in jured, it Is reported, by being shaken up when the engines came together. No cars of either train left the track.
 Ire wrecker was sent out to clear the lines, and in the meantime the pas sengers were transferred around tho wreck and proceeded.

Starter P j. Cronin had a narrow es- cape from death yesterday afternoon when he was caught up by live wire near the temporary switch at Bradley and State streets at 2:30 o'clock. Car No 300 was coming down State street and the pressure of the pole broke the wire which had grown thin from long usage, the car came to a sudden ston and MT. Cronin, who is In charge of the switch there, went after the wire as 1t was dangling down into the street. swinging it with rope to the side of the road.

He fell on his back in the street with the wire touching his body and was dragged free from the deadly current by the motorman on car No. 300. Traffic was restored after about fifteen minutes.
 An Edgewood avenue car went off the track at the Dwight street switch about S:30. The front Wheels were worked back on to the tracks before the wrecking car arrived, so that little delay was occasioned. A stone on one of the rails threw the car off.
 There was a slight tie-up on Church street near Grown shortly before 1O o'clock last night when the pole on a car was nearly bent double Three men climbed to the top of the car and bent the pole Into place. and before it was finished there were about ten cars in line.
