Thirty persons were considerably
shaken up Monday morning when Il
motor car used in handling freight
crashed into one of the street ca rs in
which they were riding on the line
Of the Pascagoula Street Railway
and Power Company at East Side.
A serious accident was narrowly
averted.

for Moss Point. The construction
car also left short time after, evil

which held the passengers. It was
while the car was stopped at East
Side the accident occurred. The con-
strlction car was being operated by
a negro, who evidently did not rea-
lie how fast the, car was running.
The passengers in the other car did
not notice the approach of the con-
struction car, and the frstthey knew
was when there was terrific crash,
which piled the passengers on top
of each other. The motorman, Dud
Trebern, who was in charge of the
passenger car, was injured, as were
also several of the passengers, but it
is not believed that any of those
who were injured are hurt seriously.
When the accident occurred there
were several passengers standing on
the rear platform of the passenger
car, and it is considered remarkable
that they were not killed instantly.
It is said that the accident was caus-
ed by the air brake of the construc-
ton car failing to work.

Sheep 5806.
This weeks cattle market has been
iull of surprises. The broadened out
let made possible by active bidding
on the part of killers, large and
small, caused a sudden reaction in
beef values and the tendency of the
market points upward Demand for
prime heavy steers was urgent
enough to make sellers" mar
ket and the former top of 500 was
easily obtained. The bulk of steers
were of good quality and averaged
$50 to 7.S0. Butcher stock was
firmer although the prime stuff was
scarce. Cows at 5.S5, heifers at
100 bulls at 500 and stays at $50
are extreme quotations for quality Of
fering. Receipts have been small

devoid of contract shipments. y

the bulk of swine holdings has been
marketed and while public pork con-
sumption is not SO heavy at this
time of year, there are scarcely
enough hogs to satisfy the demand.
Every other large market is showing
unusual strength, which may be spec
ulative. At any rate the eight cent
hog market has arrived again, even

rious plans have been worked out
whereby large numbers of pure bred
hogs and dairy COWS have been
shipped in and sold to the farmer
on basis giving him considerable
