A regular freight train on the St.
Paul road ran into the rear end of an
extra last Sunday morning and a
caboose and two cars were demolished
and an engine somewhat damaged.
The accident occurred at a point near
the Levenhagen boat house. The extra
was moving along at a snaips pace
when bumped into by the regular. The
latter train had two engines attached
and the engineers claim they could not
see the train ahead until they were
right onto it. As soon as the caboose
was demolished coal stove which was
either overturned or broken up, set
the cars on fire. The cars not injured
were uncoupled from the burning cars
and were drawn away. After the fire
had done its work q crew of men
started work repairing and clearing
the track. The 1 o'clock passenger
train got through without any trouble.
As the scene of the wreck was near the
city, many people went up to view it.
A conference between street railroad
and city officials was held Sunday. The
conference was asked for by the street
railway company at the last meeting of
the council, the object being to straight
en- out some misunderstanding regard
ing the taxation of the company for
macadam work on Grand Ave. The
company, when it laid rails on the
avenue in the fall of 1905, caused the
space between the rails to be filled in
and rolled down. The company paid
the city for the work. Last summer
the city went over the work again, in
e-macadamizing the whole street, and
charge was again made against the
company, The companys officials
thought the railroad had been uniustly
charged, but at the conference matters
were gone into in detail and an under
standing arrived at. The company will
pay its tax without any protest. The
street railway was represented by Nj. C.
Ewing and Fred Ge1rich; the city by
the Mayor, NJ. IL. Duncan, Comptroller
II. +. Marquardt, Engineer c. A. Nut
ter, Atty. M. b. Rosenberg, Aldermen
Geo. Steltz, Albert Rapraeger and John
Wolf, the latter three composing the
committee on paving.
