ANOTHER GAR SINKS
IN ROTTEN BRIDGE
Coach Goes Off Track at De
crepit Bridge Disaster
Narrowly Averted.

This morning car No. 337 on the
Hammond Sixty third street run. in
charge of Motorman Nelson and Con-
ductor Nickerson ran off the tracks
when about half way across the north
Holman street bridge. The right front
wheel sank through the rotten wood
into one of the beams used TO support
the bridge.
For over half an hour the crew of
the derailed car and that of the work
the tracks. worked before the car was
replaced on the tracks.
Only Sunday night another one Of the
Hammond Sixty third street cars jump
ed the tracks and sunk through the
bridge, and fully forty lives were i'm
periled. Since then the city council
has held a meeting but nothing was
done towards providing for a new
bridge.
Street car conductors and motormen
are complaining of the poor condition
Of the bridge and some say they will
refuse to run cars over it in its pres
ent condition.
When the car went OF the tracks this
morning and the wheel sank through
the rotten wood the car nearly toppled
over. One woman started to scream.
but was quieted BY other passengers.
The street car officials have given
orders to their men TO run over the
bridge at slow speed to avoid jumping
the tracks. It is expected that the
street car officials will take some ac-
ton towards having a new bridge put
in before the next council meeting.

CALAMITY FEARED D
President Small to Arrive Tomorrow
and General Order VIII
Be Given.

An extension of the teIegrapher's
strike to every part of the United
States and Canada is said by the union
leaders to be a certainty. Efforts of
the peace mediators were spurned yes
terday and the national executive
board of the telegraphers' union de-
clared for war to the bitter end.
Already the order which in effect
means general strike has been flashed
over the country by Secretary Wesley
Russell. Out of courtesy to President
Small, who is hurrying toward Chicago,
no formal strike order will be issued
until tomorrow.
The Chicago strikers who are leaders
in the movement are in a warlike
mood. At their mass meeting yester-
day afternoon every reference to a
general strike was cheered to the echo,
while mention of the names and Com
missioner Neill and Ralph NJ. Easley
was greeted with Kisses and groans.

While the strike leaders disclaim all
responsibility for such messages, the
railroad situation became so threaten
ing as a result of them that Secretary
/ W. Quick of the Order of Railroad
Telegraphers had to quiet the rumors
in an official message sent out from
( the headquarters in St. Louis last
night.
He ordered the railroad telegraph
ers TO strictly adhere TO their con-
tracts with the roads and not to be led
astray by false rumors.

APPROPRIATE EXTRA $1,000
FOR PUMPING STATION.
City Council Takes Action which VIII
Make Possible The Immediate Begin-
ing of The Worl<-WiH Enforce Rail-
road Crossing Laws.

The city council had a short session
last night at which an additional APP
propriation of s100 for the new sewer
pumping station was made. This will
be erected just as soon as the contract
for it's construction can be left and
various other matters attended 10. The
city officials are desirous OF completing
the work before fall so that the sewer
can be cleaned for the winter and be
ready for the spring freshets. It is
probable that the contract viii be let
to the Great Lakes dredge and dock
company OF Chicago. as they are the
lowest bidders and are known to be
experts in this line of work.
The matter OF keeping the railroad
crossings clear was also brought up be-
fore the council and the city attorney
was asked TO instruct the police depart
ment TO enforce the ordinance. All
roads violating it will be prosecuted.
For some time traffic has been delayed
al the various crossings, especially by
the Erie.

Petition Being Circulated by
Chicago Interurban Ask
ing Franchise.
VILLAGERS ALL SIGN
Route Already Surveyed and Rights
Granted in Certain Suburbs
and Villages.

Petitions signed by nearly the entire
popula tion of West Hammond will be
presented at the next meeting of the
West Hammond Village board asking
that a franchise be granted to the Chi
ca go Interurban company for a right of
way through the village.
Information that the new road which
is financed by Chicago capitalists would
come through West Hammond if they
could bet a franchise was made public
yesterday when officials of the com
pany were in the village circulating
petitions asking the board to grant
them a franchise.
Already surveyors are working on
the road and they have run one line
as a proposed route.
At the meeting of the Harvey Gid
council last night petitions were pre-
sented by the same company asking
for a franchise through Harvey and
this was readily granted by the board.
The new road will use Dolton. H..
as the terminus and from here the
route will run through to Blue Island
then into West Hammond entering
West Hammond on 147th street, here a
sub station will be erected to accom-
modate passengers. From West Ham
rnond the tracks will run through
RiverdaIe and from Riverdale to Har-
vey where the road viii branch one
line Of tracks going through to Chi
cago Heights and Crete, Ill, while the
other will go back towards Chicago.
The company is now negotiating for
the right of way for Chicago en-
trance and it is said the deal is prac-
tically concluded
The new road will be double tracked
throughout and will furnish both pas
senger and freight service. The fran
chises agree to have the road com
pleted through towns awarding them
within a period Of ten months.
The petitions that are being circu-
lated over West Hammond are finding
ready signers and by the time the
question is presented TO the board at
the next meeting every citizen is ex-
pected to have his name enrolled on
the list If the road is allowed 70
build through West Hammond it means
that the little village viii experience
another boom as it did when the new
sewers were started
The franchise asked for by the rail-
road company is said by those who
have read II TO be the most liberal
vet shown through the Calumet region
All the officials want is the right Of
way and they promise TO do the rest.

ONEY FOR COMPANY

but' mother" demonstrated Judson, "have-
MT told you common politeness-"
Uncommon politeness, YOU mean: at least.
it is so in your case. / remember. when I
was a girl, we kept our parlor rigidly closed
except when company called. What do you
think of that custom?"
. RIdiculous!" exclaimed Judson.
10 you think so? Is it any more so than
10 keep your manners shut up, and only
ventllate them when company is present?
IL strikes you as absurd that people should
keep the best room in the house for stran-
gers, instead of using it themselves, but you
have committed the same fault in regard to
your manners"
Perhaps | have" admitted Judson, but
with considerable reluctance "But," he
objected, wouldn't it seem stiff and awk-
ward always to be airing company man
ners?"
Possibly it might, at first. When the abb
surd custom of keeping the best room for
company was abolished, have no doubt it
was awkward for people to use the parlor
as an everyday apartment; but the feeling
soon wore way. 1t is the same with an In
dian or other savage, who is restive under
civilized garb, but it does not take him long
to wear it without Inconvenience. Do you
not think you could learn to wear company
manners all the time?"
"I suppose could" said Judson, slowly.
Don't you think you ought to do SOP"
eyes. But what about Beth"
'fPm talking to Beth also. She will do her
share, ]. feel confident"
'fWhen shall begin?" asked Judson, looking
ruefufly at his sister.
Fright now; and I hope you will not treat
it as a task. Be as natural as you can, and
have just as much fun as ever, but don't forget
your manners. Presently you will not need
to make an effort to remember them, and then
you will wonder how you managed to get
along without them"
"You must not get angry if forget myself
occasionally"
"No; l promise that. Suppose you try to
imagine that Beth and / are company for
| few days Perhaps that will assist you"
"a good idea," laughed Judson. Beth;
will you permit me? Your pillow has slipped
| down. There-isn't that better%
"Thank you, Judson," said Beth, de-
murely.
