perior region, where they learned that
he had shipped on the boat Douglass

Loss OF LIFE IS
AvERTED At GARY
Through Train on Lake
Shore Railroad Escapes
Being Wrecked.
ENGINE TENDER JUMPS RAILS
Train Is Delayed For Some Time and
Passengers Are Surprised at
Incident.

bad wreck and n terrible loss of
manner when the through passenger
train from Cleveland to Chicago passed
through Gary mt about $50 this morn
ing and the tender on the engine
jumped the truck while the train was
going at the rate of f6O miles an hour.
The engineer put on the emergency
brakes, and although the terder bound
ed over the ties for distance of a
hundred yards, none of the coaches or
the engine left the tracks.
The accident happened about half to
and was caused when a wheel on the
tender of the engine struck the point
of a switch and the tender jumped off
the tracks.
Passengers Shaken Up.
Why the coaches which followed the
tender did not also leave the track is
a mystery that will never be explained.
The passengers were badly shaken up
by the quick stopping of the train, but
Use none u them were injured.
After the train had been stopped the
engine backed it to a point near Gary,
where the tender was run up onto
another switch and was in this man
ner placed back on the track. The
train was delayed only three-quarters
of an hour and proceeded to its desti-
nation in Chicago.
The passengers were surprised to
learn that they had been so near death
and the trainmen and engine crew are
still wondering how the tender could
have bounded over the ties for so great
distance and still not jump the track
and throw the passenger train off.
There Were a large number of pas
sengers in the train and many of them
were either asleep in the berths or were
getting up SO that they could leave the
train as soon as it arrived in Chs
cago.

CHARGES NEGLIGENCE
OF THEIR PATRONS
East Chicago Professional
Men Can't Get Tele-
phones Installed.
SUITS ARE THREATENED
East Chicago Operates the Turn
:. the Crank System Which
Aggregates.
Especial to THE TIMEs.l

East Chicago, Ind, Oct. 2.-Unless
the Chicago Telephone company is less
negligent in the ir treatment of their
patrons it is quite possible that ac-
tions for damages will be filed against
them by prominent East Chicago and
Indiana Harbor business men. Suits
have already been threatened and at
torneys consulted who declare that the
treatment of the business men by the
corporation is injurious to their bust
ness and that. such claim would stand
valid in any court of the state.
Won't Install Phones.
THE particular charge laid by the
business men against the company is
their refusal to Immediately install
telephones. Two local physicians have
had orders on the company's files for
over a month requesting the installa-
ton of telephone service. Being reputa-
BILE practitioners they lose business by
their failure to have the instrument in
their office They are unable to an
swer calls expediently and it is i'm
possible to make appointments with
out visiting their patients. The two
physicians who are particularly affect
ed by this rotten treatment" as they
| believe it, are Drs. Bicknell of the
postoce building and DR.. Jacob, a prom
inent dentist in the First National
Bank building.
Charge Against Operators.
Another bone of contention between
the company and East Chicagoans is
the installation of the modern call
system" Each Chicago is still subject
ed to the old turn the crank and wait
half an hour" method. Operators are
negligent of their duty, it is charged
and only a few days ago local attor-
ney was compelled to wait over ar
hour for a call to Crown Point The
| local operators declared that the Ham
mond office was at fault, but it wa.
proven that the East Chicago switch
board had been neglected. the plug.
remained in connection and the Eas
Chicago operators consequently failed
to hear the repeated calls for owe
twenty minutes of the Hammond op
! orator.
These are matters of vital import
ance to the business men of the com
munity who promise that unless tn
company is more courteous in thei
treatment they will order the with
drawal OF the local company's phone
and advocate the installation of instru
ments under a separate franchise.

 The pay of the efficient operator is greater than that of the women who work in the average de partment store. She is seated all the time she is at work, there are liberal periods of rest for her and there is supervisor at all times ready 10 render her assist ance.

STOCK MARKET REVIEW.
Recent Lesson to Bears Make Traders
 Distrustful and Hesitating.

New York. Sept 2-The tone of the speculation in stocks today showed degree of distrust and hesitation The feeling was based on the heights to which prices have been carried already and found expression in refrainlng from further buying and bidding up or stocks, more than in any active at tempts to get them lower. The lesson of the recent punishment administered to the bears Is too fresh in mind yet to have lost it's intimidatng effect. The doubts about the warrant for the pres ent level of prices are due to some skepticism over the alleged rate of re- cuperaiion In business The absence of the usual seasonable demand from the interior for funds is the subject of growing remarks The pressure of funds for investment Is perfectly log ical Even with prices of stocks at level to invite realizing sales. the diff flculty of finding other profitable em- ployment for funds deters holders from selling. Money on call is almost drug in the market and the scant supplies of desirable commercial paper arc eagerly sought for investment The railroad mortgage market Is affected in the same way, The report that foreign investors are joining in this demand is less easy of comprehension in view of the International exchange situation, London and Berlin were reported large buyers of stocks here today, and this was an important factor in the early strength of the market The price of copper was marked down at the New York metal exchange and this, with the poor showing of the annual report of the American Smelting and Refining company made the copper shares vul nerable to pressure The increasing ex- cusiveness of the demand 10 the liar riman stocks, with the neglect of the general list was source of dissatis- faction to those long of stocks, Amer, ican Smelting broke with some vio- lence and the whole list sold off Rem nants of the advances were left in the strongest stocks.

 The only explanation heard in Wall street for the strength In Erie was that 1t was moving with the other Hartman stocks-Southern Pacific Union Pacific. Illinois Central and Baltimore and Ohio.

 Bids for copper metal were lowered 1-s cent a pound all around in the afternoon, but the offering prices were held at previous figures. The heavy tone of the metal probably induced some selling of copper stock, the road out of its financial hole.
 It is understood in well-informed quarters that the Steel corporation s earnings for the three months ending with September will be far in excess of most estimates and will make a very encouraging exhibit A revision of calculations as to results for the year has been in order. and while, of course, the outcome will not be a bril- liant one 1t is believed that it will more than fulfill the most liberal ex- pectations. Knowledge of these facts 1t Is said, has led to much of the buy. ing which has been seen in the pre- ferred stock, which has recently run its best record very close, and which is confidently spoken of as likely tc sell at 120 on the present movement.
