TO TAKE STEPS TO FREE
STREAMS OF SEWAGE
MARYLAND State Board oil
Health to Survey Drainage
Area in Nearby Counties.

First steps looking to the freeing
Of District streams OF sewage from
Maryland communities that drain into
the Rock creek and Anacostia valleys
and toward the Little Falls branch
will be taken this summer. when the
Maryland state board of health will
make a survey Of the drainage areas
surrounding the communities. SO that
sewers may be constructed to connect
them with the Districts interceptors.
Announcement Of the intention Of
the board to make the survey this
summer and of the formulation Of
plans by the commission appointed by
Gov. Goldsborough Of Maryland to in
vestigate the drainage problem was
made last week. William T. S. Curtis
has been made chairman OF the COM
mission and Jackson III. Ralston. vice
chairman. T. Howard Duckett is sec
rotary. The commission Is composed
Of representatives Of Prince Georges
and Montgomery counties. Md. and of
the Maryland board Of health. the rep
resentatives Of the latter being DR..
William II. Welch. president. and DIR.
Marshall L. Price. secretary.
Cooperation in Contemplation.
The plan adopted is a cooperative
one between the members OF the board
Of health and the representatives OF
the two counties. The former will
conduct the sanitary survey and will
report to the full commission In the
fall Two subcommittees have been
appointed, and these also will report
in the fall. One of them will study
the question of the general disposal
Of sewage. The other will look into
the matter Of taxation and investigate
how the expense Of constructing the
sewers can best be met. 1t Is stated
that the full commission, after receiv-
a definite program OF procedure.
lature. will take the matter up with
District officials.
The local government has signified
that it will be willing to handle the
sewage of the Maryland communi-
ties. provided 1t IS delivered to the
District interceptors. Asa r. Phillips.
District superintendent Of sewers, is
interested in the proposition, and. ac-
cOrding to a statement by Chairman
Curtis of the Maryland commission,
will be called on to cooperate with
the commission. Mr.. Phillips has sug-
gested the Importance OF some ar
rangement being made with the Mary

ton of the Districts streams with
sewage in several annual reports to
the District Commissioners.

OKLAHOMA CITY. OKLA. Dec. 16
According to a dispatch received
here last night hostilities between
Sheriff bud" Thomason and his force

town of Old Jay, who have taken
possession of the court house at that
point, in an effort to prevent the re-

Thomason and his men, according to
the courier who brought the informa-
tion to the town of Grove. marched
into Old Jay late Saturday night and
opened fire on the court house, but
were forced to retire under fire of
the besieged partisans. So far as can
be learned the first brush was blood
less. The sheriff. it is said, has estab-
lished a position a quarter of mile
from the town. The sheriff is en-
deavoring to enforce an order of the
district court, which provides for the
removal of the Delaware county seat

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.--"Safety
I'fst" is the paramount rule of train
zneration suggested by the Interstate
Eommerce Commission in it's twenty
zlKth annual report submitted today
s 10 Congress. Discussion of disasters
on American railroads during the last
HRar constitutes an important feature
Of the report
IT is pointed out that many of the
accidents resulting in fatalities
might have been averted by the exer-
else of proper precaution of the en-
ployment of suitable devices and good
Equipment. Figures given show that
Of the total of s,a15 derailments during
the year 1877 were caused by de-
xects of roadway and 3,847 were due
70 defective equipment. This indi-
zates an increase over the previous
year of 652 in the derailments due to
Nad roadway, and 1,o2S. due to bad
Equipment.
More Effective Measures Needed.
The investigation by the commits
Ion itself of railroad accidents in
*olving loss of life, the report says,
has proceeded far enough to indi-
cate the need of more effective
Measures than thus far have been
aiken to secure safety of railroad
fravel." While the previous sugges-
lions of the commission as to the
adoption by the railroads of all-steel,
or steel underframe cars are being
adopted "as rapidly as conditions will

Of unsound cars is gradually disap-
Bearing" the serious dangers of de-
1ective roadway and the use of un-
eound rails still remain, as a result of
which derailments are likely at any
4ime to occur
The report says that "the most dis
zuuieting and perplexing feature in
the problem of accident prevention
is the large proportion of train acci-
dents caused by dereliction of duty
BY the employees involved. The COM
mission believes that as a. rule there
are no men that have a keener ap-
.preciation of their responsibilities
than railroad trainmen and engine
|men." and yet it is pointed out that
E63 per cent. of the whole number of
accidents Investigated were caused by
mistakes on the part of employees.
Speed and Weight Increase.
"a remarkable increase in the speed
land weight of trains within recent
years, and the crowding of tracks
and terminals caused by the move
