The accident at the Grand aven

The accident at the Grand avenue
crossing of the Northwestern on Sun
day i'll which prominent merchant,
his wife and son narrowly escaped
death or serious injury emphasizes
again the demand for subways on some
of the principal streets of the city and
it will not be long now before the
demand becomes so strong as to force
action by the city authorities The
traffic on the three streets, Prairie
avenue, Grand avenue and Elizabeth
street which are the principal means
of communication between the east
and west sides of the city is so heavy
that the maintenance of the grade
crossing very much longer would show
almost criminal disregard of human life
One look at the tide of travel over the
crossings on these streets in the busy
hours of The day is the best argument
in favor of subways that could be

nate escape of Sunday serves to call
attention to is the fact that crossing
which is supposed to be protected by
gates and bell signals is more danger
GUS when the safeguards are not work
ing properly than one in which there
is no pretence of protecting the public.
On an unprotected crossing the passers
by are on the lookout, but when cross
ing has been protected for some time
the public gets to rely absolutely on
the safety devices and when these fail
for any reason it is a mere matter of
luck that some one is not killed or in
jured. To the credit of the railroad
company it may be said that probably
the signals fail to operate properly
only once in a thousand times, but that
one failure weighs heavier with the
public than the nine hundred and nine
ty.nine times the signals warned of
danger.

II is said TO be the desire OF the
powers that be in the council to hama
fine contract for the paving OF Lake
avenue over to the White Construction
Company of Milwaukee in spite OF the
fact that the figures on the bids COM
piled by the city engineer show that
Chris Petersen, the local contractor,
had the low bid by q few dollars, but
if that is the case and the necessary
number of members of the council
acauiesce in this arrangement the paw
ing of the street is likely to be de-
layed for some time. With the expert
ence of property owners on another
street in the city fresh in mind, SOME
of the property owners on Lake
avenue are almost certain to overthrow
any action the council may take to let
the contract for the paving on their
street to other than the lowest bidder
as shown by the bids submitted and
figured out by the city engineer even,
though the amount involved is small.
All the protesting property owners
would have to do would be to go to
court and show the facts and there is
no reason to believe that the court
would take the fact that the city has
had trouble with the company, to
which it is proposed to turn over the
job, over previous contract to pave
this same street, which was overthrown,
into consideration, any more than the
property owners are likely to.

The fight against consumption in
Kenosha county was given new i'm.
petus on Monday when the Wisconsin
Anti tuberculosis Association issued a
paper known as 'sThe Kenosha County
Health Record. There are a lot of
interesting facts in regard to the tight

plague. One of the leading articles
says:
There are one hundred vand twenty

Based on statistics obtained in in

Seventy-four consumptves in Keno

Forty-two use common dipper, also
endangering their families.
One hundred eighty-four houses will

and only ninetytwo of these houses
will be disinfected by public authori,

In forty-seven families other deaths

special investigation later showed an
error in the estimates. With that error
corrected, the stock of gold in the
country is now above one billion seven
hundred million dollars-much the
largest stock possessed by any nation.
1t is absolutely certain, however, that
we could never have accumulated this

In 1892 we lost fifty million dollars
OF gold by expectation. The govern
ment, under the act of 1890, was then
purchasing fifty million dollars of sill
yer yearly and paving for it treasury
notes redeemable in "coin." Roughly,
every gold dollar that left the country
was replaced by dollar worth about
sixty'seven cents in Europe. Before
the close of that year great many
European investors sold their American
securities lest, by waiting, they might
have TO take dollars worth sixty.seven
cents. Paying for the securities so sold
back to us naturally accelerated gold
exports. In the first Eve months of
1898 we lost sixty millions more, and it
was an open question whether the gov
eminent would not have to redeem its
notes in deprecated silver. Every
body, the treasury and the banks in
eluded, tried to hoard gold. The harder
everybody scrambled for gold the
scarcer inevitably gold became and the
more silver deprecated. In the fiscal
year 1898 hundred and two million
dollars of greenbacks and treasury
notes were presented to the govern
ment for redemption in gold, but the
metal left the country as fast as it was
withdrawn from the treasury, exports
in that year amounting to hundred
and eight millions,
BY 1898 the total stock Of gold in
the country had fallen, probably, to
Eve hundred million dollars. The mint
figures were somewhat larger, but a

TELLING OF FIRE DEATH.
ENCOUNTERS SAME FATE

NEW YORK, Dec. 25.-Mrs. Philo'
metha Cemetti was burned TO death
in her home. No. 10 North Tenth-st.,
Williamsburg, yesterday morning, and
her son. Joseph, and her daughter.
Mary, received severe burns in trying
TO save her.
Mrs. Cemetti got up at a. nj. to
prepare breakfast for her family and
her six boarders. In her haste she
poured kerosene upon the fire and
almost instantly was wrapped in
flames. She@was dead when an ambu-
lance arrived from Williamsburg hos
pital, while the six boarders were un-
conscious In their beds and her son
and daughter lay senseless in the hall
way, having inhaled smoke.
No one In the neighborhood was
more concerned over the fate OF the
Cemettis than her neighbor, Mrs. Jen-
ME Calendo. who lived directly around
the corner at No. 27l Union-st. She
was In and out OF the house all day
administering to the son and daush-
ter. Last night she went back to her
own home and lighted an oil lamp.
AS she was talking with her six-year-
old son, Philip. OF the disaster. she
noticed that the lamp would soon burn
itself out. Without putting out the
flame, she began TO pour oil from a
can into the lamp. The oil exploded
and spattered her from head TO foot
with flaming drops. The little boy
tried to press out the fire with his
small hands, but his own clothing
took FIRE. The mother ran ablaze TO
the street, where Joseph MARITIME, OF

and ran up to her fourth floor rooms,

ablaze in the room. Firemen put out
the fire in the fiat, and mother and
son were taken to Williamsburg hos
