some of the cars were driven out by

The girl graduate, flushed and smi1-

Alderman and City Attor-
ney of East Chicago, Call
Each Other Names.
Especial to THE TIMEs).

East Chicago. Ind, Aug. 11.-"You
are drunk; better go home and sober
up"
You are drunk. too; you better go
home and sober up" were some of
the pyrotechnics that were displayed at
the East Chicago council meeting last
night.
The remarks about sobriety were
passed between City Attorney ]. D.
Kennedy and Alderman wleklinski
The council used up all the evening
from o'clock until 1870 to accept a
final estimate of the city engineer for
the Alder street main sewer The es-
innate was placed at s260,2s0. The
council. having been in such a shape
that no other business could be trans
acted postponed meeting will be held
this evening to give the property own
ers a chance to file remonstrance.
Results from Argument.
The reparte between the city attor-
ney and Alderman Wleklinski was the
outgrowth of an argument in which
both won.
The ownership Of Adds avenue in
Indiana Harbor was being discussed
and Attorney Kennedy gave 1t as his
opinion that the city owned the street
in fee simple. To this Wleklinski OBJ
jected saying that the attorney had
given a different opinion some time
ago about the street.
w1eklinski was ruled out of order by
Mayor De Briae, but the alderman paid
no attention to the mayor and his ruI-
ings Since the alderman would not
sit down he was left to talk while
the council continued with its bust
ness
Application for the vacancy on the
school board were filed, the following
applications having been made: Dr. A
G. Schlieker. Richard Howell, F. ]. Fife
and William Jeppson.

CIVIC AND OFFICIAL
BODIES Harmonic
Sentiment Is Experienced in Favor of
Extending Corporation Territory
Southwark - Annexation Would
Bring Toleston Gun Clubs Grounds
Under Control of City.

Another of the series of luncheons
held by the Gary real estate board took
place yesterday afternoon in their
rooms in the Gary hotel Aside from
the social feature of the meeting sew
eraI matters of interest were discussed
by the members, of vital interest to-
themselves and the town. The lunch
con was enthusiastic in spite of the
comparatively small attendance and
much good was accomplished.
Fitzgerald Presides-
President William H. Fitzgerald
called the meeting at o'clock and
dinner was served at once. Immedi
ately after the matter of public i'm
provements was taken up, and the
board was favored with a talk on the
subject by Mayor Knots, from the
viewpoint of the city officials. Mr..
Knots pointed out why certain i'm
nroyements were made explained the
advantage of them. the quality, and
other interesting facts concerning the
improvements. These remarks were
followed up by other members of the
organization on the subject, and ali of
them seemed satisfied with the public
improvements that have been made. 1t
was also the consensus of opinion that
the board should fake a more active
interest In matters of city admins
tration so that they might express their
views in the matter, well as lend
their ideas on various matters under
consideration.
Annexation Question.
The next order of business was the
annexation of certain property south
Of the Calumet river. Property own
ers in that section, including T. w.
Englehardt, T E. Knots, Louis Meke-
tinski and others, spoke in favor of
the annexation. Their object in adj
ding the strip to Gary, it seemed, was
to place the land of the Toleston Gun
club under the Jurisdiction of the city
so that they would be able to condemn
it for the widening of Broadway south
of the river, and secure the necessary
property to widen the street to the
width of the proposed street.
Petitions Expected.
This movement, which has been agi-
tated for some time. has come up be-
fore the board for the past two meet
ings and nothing officially has beer
done about 1t. to determine the sense
of the board. 1t is likely. however
that a petition will be presented (
the town board in the near future by
the property owners of the south end
asking that the town make applica
tion to the county commissioners TO
the additional territory. Both Trustee
Caldwell and Mayor Knots seem il
favor of the movement at the presen
time. so that If the petition is pre-
scented. it seems sure of passag
through the town board at the presen
time.

may be used as an anesthetic. He
was experimenting with cocoaine to
see how small quantity of 1t might
be used locally for minor operations,
when he made the discovery about wa
ter. A small quantity is injected under
the skin, and the effect is to render
the flesh at that point insensible to

that the damage to property is as
small as it is.
The engines were cheap. secondhand

from A c. Torbert & Co., and the dam
age to them will not be great The
traffic on the two roads will, however,
be abandoned. except on the branch
from Indiana Harbor to Hammond, to-
day and tomorrow.
The work train climbed the grade
over the Pennsylvania viaduct and was
descending on the other side at a high
rate of speed when the passenger train
rounded the curve not far away.
The engineers on both engines shut
off the steam and put on the air brakes,
but they saw that a collision was in
evitable. The crew on the work train,
which was going at such a rapid rate
of speed. saw that their only safety
lay in jumping and they managed to
leave the train without serious injury
to their persons.
Reverses His Engine
The engineer on the passenger train,
however. turned off the steam and re-
versed his engine and then stayed with
her. When the crash came he was
jolted around considerably. but neither
engine left the track and so he was
not injured seriously.
The engines met head-on and the
engine of one of the trains had the
whole front smashed in and was dam
aged in other ways. The coaches were
both injured somewhat, and one of the
coaches was one of the new $4,000
cars with which the railroad is being
equipped.
