New York city reports that during
October % persons were killed and
"a seriously injured on her streets by
automobile and horse vehicle accidents.
This is large list even for big city,
but the dangers of the streets in cities
large and small have increased since the
advent of the automobile, which is
''shod with silence" and which startles
pedestrians with its horns, making them
nervous while on the street crossings
and therefore liable to ''lose their
heads in emergencies. The accident
insurance companies could doubtless
compile interesting statistics in regard
to the increase in street accidents due
to the change in wheel traffic. Rut-

WEDDING PARTY WRECKED.
Chauffeur Tried to Light Cigar
ette-Three Killed As Result.

Cuthbert, Ga. Nov. %. Three mem
bers of wedding party were killed and
two probably fatally injured in an auto
mobile accident here late last night.
The dead are: Curtis Williams of Fort

Ga; Horace Shepard of Edison, Ga.
The injured are: Miss Helene Mattox,

brother of the groom, and Miss Mary
Mattox, sister of the bride-to-be, secur-
ed an automobile at Fort Gaines late
last evening and were quickly driven to
Cuthbert by Curtis Williams. All the
Cuthbert ministers, however, refused
to marry the couple on account of their
youth, neither of them having passed
~. After being unable TO secure the
services of minister the party hastily
left town. Speeding along at a rate OF
30 miles an hour and while attempting
to light cigarette, Chauffeur Williams
lost control of his machine crossing a
30-foot bridge over the central railway
and the party was dashed to the rail
road tracks below.
The machine fell upon Shepard anc
Williams. The latter's neck was broker
and death resulted instantly. The two

ORDERS 10000
STEEL WHEELS
PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD WILL
DISCONTINUE USE OF CAST
IRON VARIETY.

PITTsBURG, March 20. = The
Pennsylvania Railroad company will
gradually discard the use of cast iron
wheels on its passenger cars. An
order has been given the Carnegie
Steel company for 10000 steel
wheels, of which 5000 are to be used
on lines west of Pittsburg. The steel
wheels are to be made at the Schoen
steel wheel plant at McKees Rocks
A new steel wheel plant is being built
by the Carnegie Steel company at a
cost of 100000. In the meantime
the Schoen plant is being filled with
orders. Last week an order was
booked for 10000 steel wheels for
the Chicago Traction company.
The life of cast iron wheel is
only about 10000 miles, while the
steel wheel is estimated to be 140,
900. The Pennsylvania railroad, &C
cording to is own figures, discards
10000 cast iron wheels annually OF
its main line between New York an(
Philadelphia. The cost of stee
wheel is about twice that of a cas-
iron wheel.

SUES PARTNER
FOR GRUBSTAKE

GOLDFIELD, March 23.-George
B. Mechem, one of the best known
mining men in the whole country, ar
rived in Goldfield yesterday, where
he comes to look after his interests
in one of the largest personal suits
yet filed in the courts of Esmeralda
county, in which he asks L. L. Pat
rick to pay over the sum of $2S5 900
which is alleged to represent Mr..
Mechems interest in the sum accu-
mulated during the existence of a
partnership with Patrick. Mechem
sets out that some years ago and be-
fore Goldfield was discovered, he
grubstaked the now prosperous bank
er and mining man, and that for the
reason that the gentleman came out
luckily in his ventures Mr.. Mechem
is of the opinion that he is entitled
to share in Patrick's holdings.
Mr.. Mechem arrived directly from
New York. where he makes his head.
