Cleveland, o., July17.-Hundreds
of lives were imperiled today when
Floyd e. Weber, engineer of the
fast west bound Lake Shore passen-
ger train sped almost into Cleveland
without a guiding hand. The engin-
Ger was overcome by the intense
heat. AS the engine rocked into the
Cleveland yards over switch points
the motion threw the engine driver
from his seat to the floor OF the cab.
Then the fireman learned what had
happened. He jumped from his seat,
leaving his companion helpless on the
foot boards while he brought the
speed of the train down within the
ward limits. Webber's condition was
found to be critical. How long the
engineer had been unconscious at
the throttle is not known.

IN BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS.

1t cost Paducah just $19.5S less to
operate 200 arc lights in the first
six months of 1907, than it cost to
operate 1GG lights in the correspond
ing months of 1906. The saving was
effected on the operation of the new
system purchased by the Republican
council. superintendent Keeblor's re-
port to the board Of public works
yesterday afternoon showed that to
operate 1GG arc lights in the first six
months of 1906 cost the city $3G.SS
each. For the first six months of this
year, 2O2 lights were operated for
$3.50 each The total cost of operat-
ing the city lighting department in
the last six months, has been 81
70S.05, as compared with the cost
for the same period of 1906, which
was sG,122. Changing the city wires
from the poles of the East Tennessee
Telephone company to new ones
erected by the city, cost $1,450.
Street Work.
Street Inspector Elliott's report
for the first six months of 1907 show
that his department spent $4,975.SS.
For the same period OF 1906 this de-
partment cost from 1900 to $1,5OO
more The saving in this department
is due largely to the use of the sani-
tary street fushers. The old method
of sweepers would have been $1,000
more expensive for the time the
nushers have been in use, it is estl-
mated Owing to the new improve
ments ordered by the council the
street department has not made as
many repairs to streets and alleys,
as were necessary, and this has kept
down expenses somewhat. The coun-
ell has spent a great deal of money,
but most of the improvements have
not been paid for.
Complaints of the dangerous con-
dition Of the Third street bridge over
Island creek are reaching the board
of public works. The floor of the
bridge is out of repair, but the board
has not the funds to build a new one.
The street Inspector was instructed to
repair the worst places and the rest
will have to go until the city is pre-
pared financially to repair or build a
new bridge City Engineer Washing
ton condemned this bridge several
years ago.

Overhanging Trees.

streets, cut away, as the fire depart

in their runs by overhanging limbs.
This was especially noticed in the
run Sunday night to the Mill street
fire when a truck driver was brushed
in the face by tree limbs, nearly hurl-
ing him from his seat, and making
driving extremely dangerous at high
speed.

board of public works anxious con-
sideration, as the people seem so
much attached to them. w f. Brad

Pittsfield, Mass, July 3.---aAfter a
search lasting nearly two weeks in
which representatives of United
States marshals of Chicago, New
York and Boston have been endeay-
oring to serve upon John d. Rookie
Teller, head of the Standard Oil COM
pany, subpoena issued by Judge
Lands of the federal court of Chi
cago, Rockefeller was located in this
city today. Personal service was
made upon him by Deputy United
States Marshal Charles l.. Frink of
North Adams.
Early in the day Deputy Marshal
Frink and James Ripple, the latter Of
Boston, visited the Taconic farm,
but e.. Parmalee Prentice told them
that his father-in-law was not there.
The officers pretended to be satisfied
with the statement and departed, ,
lremarking that they had no search
warrant. Ripple boarded train for
Boston and Frink went to his home
in North Adams, 25 miles from this
| city. Ses.s5 i gsS5 s.s ~ .1f
Later Frink decided to visit the
farm and he drove out there in the
afternoon. He proceeded through a
wooded driveway into an open space
| in front of the house and recognized
Rockefeller sitting on the piazza.
The deputy passed the subpoena to
the oil man, explaining that Rookie.
feller's presence in the federal court
at Chicago was needed. Mr.. Rookie.
Teller accepted service with smile,
shook hands with the deputy, ex.
4 pressed pleasure at meeting him
and invited him to sit on the plaza
seat and rest. Mr.. Rockefeller chat
ted for a few moments, saying that
he had not intended to evade the
/ officers, but that he did not know
| exactly what was desired of him. He
referred to recent newspaper stories
/ about him and ridiculed the idea
1 that he had been surrounded by
armed guards or that the Taconie
4 farm had been inspected with a
/ searchlight. ~
As the officer was leaving Rookie
teller again shook hands with him
. and added: eff you are ever neal

1t is generally believed that Rookie
/ Teller has been at Taconic farm since
i Thursday night. Prentice said Sat
urday that Rockefeller was moi
there, and offered a reward of $1,000

father-in-law was in Piststield.
