car. and sat on the curb propped against
tree box, until the arrival of a patrol
wagon from the Third precinct station.
He was then loaded in with Esser, both
of whom were unconscious when placed
in the vehicle.
In their eagerness to learn details of
the accident. the crowd seriously inter
fered with the efforts of those who gave
aid to the injured policemen. It was
owing to the crowd that Mulhall and
Esser were forced 10 stay propped
against a tree box until the arrival Of
ambulances.
George NJ. Fisher, proprietor Of a Clean
ing and dyeing establishment at I409
Fourteenth street, was standing in front
Of his place of business when the acci-
dent occurred He was one OF the first
to go 10 the aid Of the policemen. IN
speaking Of the occurrence ne said:

saw the car going north in Fourteenth

patrol wagon, coming from the east, was
struck and hurled in the air falling on
one Of the men. One man was dragged
under the car and another was thrown
into the middle of the street.

from under the wagon, but its owner
must have climbed through the top of
the overturned vehicle. as he was not
there when We lifted 1t. We found
buckingham lying face downward in

carried him into the drug store. and

SMYRNA LIBRARY DIRECTORS
WANT BETTER PATRONAGE
YEARLY REPORT AT ANNUAL MEETING

tiOn on a Mech Better Paying Basis

The regular annual meeting of the
stockholders of the Library Association
was held on Thursday last, January ,,
1908. After organization of the meet
ing by the choice of }. G. Stocklv as
chairman, and Clarence B. Raymond
as secretary, the President of the As
sociation presented his report for the
year preceding, stating that the num-
Der OF subscribers during the year was

$50. 16; balance in Treasury January

the Association library dues deemed
collectable, $46.94, and doubtful about
$4,000, while the liabilities amount TO

During the year balance due from the
ASSOCIATION, on account of SO volumes
history and poetry purchased, has been
paid. Notwithstanding an increase in
the expenses for the use of books. the
financial condition of the Library is
better than it was year since. An
increased interest upon the part of our
people would so much improve our
ability to serve them, that the Associa-
ton again desires to ask fuller CO.
operation of our citizens with those
who already deserve thanks for their
assistance. If funds now used in book
clubs could pass into the treasury of
the Public Library, would not the
general benefit be greater and the re-
suits even to present members of the
club be more satisfactory by securing
more new fiction, in addition to the
hundreds Of standard works now upon
the shelves? The suggestion is worth
thought. The annual election resulted
