SPLENDID Plea: { Of
FIRE APPARATUS

In the arrival of the new auto hose
cart for the Gary fire department the
steel city now has the finest piece of
fire apparatus of its kind in the coun-
try. The motor-driven car has sixty
horsepower engine. 1t cost $500 and
is far superior to- the present motor
driven hose cart at the central fire sta
ton.
The new fire cart will carry a COM
pany Of ten men. It will do duty at the
central station. After the first auto
hose cart is overhauled it will be sent
to the new Tolleston fire station. Chief
Feeley is asking for a fire company at
Ridge road and Broadway, and two
companies, truck and hose cart. for the
first subdivision. No 3 company al
present protects the south side.

RE TIREMEN ON
PENSION FOR OLD
FEDERAL EMPLOYEES

Lake county people are much inter
ested in the movement going on in
civil service circles of the country IN
favor of measure for pensioning
srperanuated and disabled federal en-
ployes. A number in this ounty have
held positions in the federal service
and have given the best years of their
ife 10 the work OF serving the nation.
The enactment of a law which would
put retiring officials of that kind upon
the pension list would meet the ap-
proval of the people, for they believe
that continuous service in responsible
positions should not be followed by
perjury after they have been compelled.
10 retire from the service.
In furtherance of the movement back
of this proposition monster mass
meet was held in New York City re-

STILL MORE ORDERS

The Railway Age Gazette in its cur
rent huber reports that the Western
Steel Car & Foundry company at Hege-
wisch has secured an order of 400 au-
tomobile cars, $50 fiat cars and % ca
booses from the Rock Island railroad.
Probably the most encourag ing as
pect of the equipment business is the
fact that the records show that there
is another decrease in the number OF
surplus cars.
At this time of the year the surplus
usually Increases. and the fact that a
decrease is shown indicates that the
railroads are doing well and that they
will have to get into the market for
more equipment.

KIN OF FORMER WISCONSIN SEN-
 ATOR TO PUSH CLAIM.
Appointment of Administrator Asked in Effort to Collect Claim
 Against Government.

kenosha, Wis.In an effort to un- cover property owned by the late Charles Durkee, one of the first United States senators from Wiscon- sin, said to amount to about S100,- 000,000, bill fer the appointment of an administrator for the Durkee es- tate was flei ill the county court. The petitioners are Mrs. Harriet l.. Blaisdell of Champaign, Ill, and Caro- line c. Johnson of Fayette, O., nieces of Charles Durkee.
 Franklin H. Head of Chicago, as ad- ministrator, filed his report closing the estate in March, 1872. The appli- cation for an administrator is made to bring out the facts in regard to the famous claim against the govern ment known as the Durkee claim, in which it was alleged that Durkee de posted with the government in 1865 stocks and bonds of Pacific railways valued at $20,000,000.
 The amount of the claim, with ac- crued interest, grew rapidly, and 1t IS now estimated at :100,000,000.
 The claim has been in the United States courts, congress and through all the claim departments of the ma tional government, but this is the first time that any of the heirs of the for mer senator have taken any part in formal claims for the money.

 The new dirigible Is now an abso- lute wreck and has never been flown.
 It is difficult to say exactly what happened There were officials on the spot. but no information can be gained either from the Vickers concern or the admiralty Apparently the center of the huge framework, which was 512 feet long. was weak, and the pressure of a light nine-mile breeze made it part as it left the shed stern first.

TRAIN KILLS 13 IF PARTY
THREE MORE MAY DIE FROM IN.
 JURIES IN COLLISION.
Six Bodies Cling to Pilot of Engine; Two Catapulted Through Shanty
 Eight Seriously Hurt.

Neenah, Wis-Sixteen deaths prob. ably will result from mile-a- minute passenger train at Neenah, crashing into party of thirtyone merry young people loaded upon hayrack.
 A big billboard along the railway tracks obscured the view from the To- comotive, as we'll as from the wagon.
 Twelve persons on the hayracE were instantly killed, one has since died and three out of eight others in jured are believed to be fatally hurt. Nine of the thirty-one persons aboard the wagon escaped without a scratch and so did both horses. Nobody on the train suffered except from a mo mentary severe jar.
 The collision occurred on the Chi cago & Northwestern railway at the Commercial street crossing here. Train No. 121, northbound, whirled through the wagon load of people at 45-degree angle This was owing to the fact that the highway crossing is diagonal.
 Armless, legless and headless bodies covered the right-of way as the train, nine coaches in length, was brought to stop 800 feet from the scene of the crash. Several of the bodies were so badly mutilated that identification was possible only by fragments of cloth ing.
 Six of the victims, all dead, were discovered on the engine pilot, where they lay until removed by the train crew and passengers.
 Two others of the persons killed were hurled into a flagmans shanty with such force as to overturn the lit tie structure. One of this pair was Miss Finn, who was projected through one of the side walls of the house and was still alive when removed. She died a few hours later
 Another of the victims killed was thrown high over barn fifty feet from the railway right-of way
