A neighbor Of Mrs. Burch said last

Engineers to Do Their Best.

At the War Department today it was
pointed out that there was little. if any,
thing. the government can do to assist in
relieving the serious conditions growing
out Of the ice gorge in the Niagara
river
Still, whatever help the army engineer
plant in the vicinity can give will be at
the service Of the local officials In the
effort to save the property adjacent to
the river.
There are no funds available for pur-
chasing explosives in destroying the ice
jam. Under the general regulations en-
gineer officers have authority to lend
their services and that of the government
plant in saving life and property.
Promptly In response to dispatch from
Collector Merritt at Buffalo, the War De-
partment called for a report on the ex-
isting conditions from Col Walter l..
Fisk, engineer oficer at Buffalo. His
reply indicates that the ice is too soft
for blasting, which makes it problematical
that any material assistance In breaking
out the gorge may be expected from the
engineer department.

on H street, and was proceeding along
the south side Of the street, when the
pole between the two horses suddenly
snapped In two, causing the vehicle to
run upon the launches of the horses

forward. The driver again attempted to
stop them. but the carriage ran Into the
frightened animals and they broke into
a gallop. They increased their speed
and when they crossed 14th street thew

carriage was swerving from side to side

grocery wagon.
The best the driver could do was to en-
deavor to keep the runaway animals in
the center of the street. The team con-
tinued through II street, and was headed
toward the new Masonic Temple. The
horses turned, however. and just as they
were passing the New York avenue en-

the horses off their feet The driver

templated by recommendation which

In the absence Of factory laws, such an

ers have made regulations requiring sani-
tary conditions and inspections have been
made from time to time by the health de-
partment chiefly upon complaints and
the conditions remedied. Commissioner
