There were no witnesses to the acci-

slipped under the wheels In trying to
board the train while II was In motion.
Mr.. SicEbert was a passenger on the
train, which was bound for the Grand

change is made from the steam locomo-
lives to electric motors. As the train
slowed down for the stop Mr.. Siegbert
told the conductor. John Lasher. that
he was III and would like to walk on
the platform and taxi the air during
the interval required by the change In

Tho conductor opened one OF the
vsstibule doors and Mr.. S!egbert
stepped down to the platform. mo
further attention was paid TO him by
the train crew.
The steam locomotive was u~ncoupled
and an electric motor backed In and was
attached to the train. The conductor

bert was not close to the open vestibule
and had to run to reach II. BY the
time he caught hold Of the platform
handles the train was moving. As he
fell under the wheels he shouted and
the shout was heard by one OF the
trainmen who applied the emergency
brake and brought the train to a stop.

CITY COUNCIL IN ANOTHER HANG F

There is. as had been feared, an
other hang-up in the City Council
This time over the license law-and
the prospect OF en- immediate agree
roent Of the two boards seems remote.
The meeting Of the Board OF Alder
men last night was brief, but the
action Of the majority was determined
concerning the license ordinance which
vas adopted by the board on the 24th
ultimo and sent 70 Commoa Council.
The latter in their wiedom amended
the bill materially i'll tue sections li&-
INC the license tax on wholesale dealers,
shippers Of liQuo., agents for the SAFE
Of mineral water, pop, etc, pawn
broker aud money lenders. The
Aldermen or z majority Of that body
are ayerse to concurriug in the action
Of the lower board, and take tue stand
that the finance committee, after CIV
ing the matter close attention for sew
eral months, brought in the best bill
possible under the circumstances, ana
that the members should be sustained.
From present indications another Ees-
stious deadlock is imminent. This Is
unfortunate, To say the least. The
hcsnce and appropriation bill have in
by gone years been passed by ooth
branches OF Council apd published
before the first dag Of June. 1t is
hard to tell st present when the
license law and appropriation bill Will
work their wav through the hands OF
The CITY fathers. Tue path OF the
present Council seems % have been beset
with difficulties since the two boards
convened on the first day Of last Sep
remher. Over month was consumed

ballots (tie votes} were cast on the frst
day Of the month. This number was
