WRECK
HA[TS TRAFFIC
Central Box Car DeraiIed; Much
Grain Lost.

A derailed box car filled with loose
oats, on the southbound track of the
central railroad near the water tank
In the vicinity of the Raritan Copper
Works, disrupted train schedules and
upheld traffic through the city on the
southbound track for two hours yes
terday afternoon. The top and one
SIDE of the conveyor were bursted
open in the fail and nearly one
fourth of Its capacity of oats
was strewn along the rails. Hun
dreds OF bushels were piled In heaps
in the vicinity of the wreck. The
car was derailed at the switch near
the water pipe about $3.50 O'Clock
while freight was shifting. The
cars front truck ploughed into the
concrete foundation of the pipe,
breaking up the hard material, and
came within a few inches of wreck
ing the superstructure of the tank.
AS there are but a few trains
scheduled on Sunday, the blocking of
the track did not demoralize the
southbound train schedules COM
pletely, as the trains going south
used the northbound track until the
wrecking car had been procured and
the obstruction removed.
The grain was consigned to John
who has storehouse in
Second street, and had Just been
shipped from Chicago. 1t was valued
at about $500. Between one-f1fth
and one-sixth of the contents of the
conyeyor, which became mixed with
gravel and dirt when it escaped from
the car following the derailment,
cannot be sold as first-class oats, for
which grade the grain was bought.
The derailment occurred when the
brakeman tried to make a "fy" and
because of the closeness of the ''fy"
car to those contiguous to the engine,
failed. The car of grain was to be
sh owed down the main track, and the
other cars attached to the engine
we're to be run back on the Raritan
Copper Works siding. The brakeman
threw the switch just before the last
,wo wheels of the second truck of the
pats car passed. This caused the first
pair of trucks to follow the main line
and the rear wheels of the second
.ruck to take the switch, resulting
n the rear truck being torn from the
,onveyor, the derailment of the fore
ruck, and the crashing over on Its
side of the whole car. 1t required
nearly two hours for the car to be
'eplaced on its truck by the wreck
ng car and the spilled grain loaded
IN another car.

SAY COAL HIGHER
THAN LAST YEAR

Though the coal dealers have not
yet received the wholesale summer
rates preparatory to the usual sum-
mer decrease in the price of the fuel
here April is, dealers say that the
price on domestic sizes will be higher
this summer than last. 1t is believed
that the summer rate will be between
fifteen and twenty-five cents higher
than the rate at this season last year.
when domestic sizes sold for $6.25
per ton.
The local dealers expect to receive
the summer wholesale rates, so that
they will be able to give out the con-
sumers' rates in a few days. The in
crease of twenty-five cents in the
rate in effect April 1, in New York,
over that of last year, may hold good
here April s. and coal may go to
$3.50 per ton. 1t was s6.25 ton.

will be undertaken to secure for the
city this necessity.
The citizens of Columbia have long

needs OF the town has been a public
library and it is hoped that they will
respond to the effort that is being
made to supply this need. The la
dies of the Students Club are back
of the movement, and they are will

They propose to open it three times
a week and to furnish the readers
with the best and latest books, which
will be purchased from the funds
raised by the club. s.. .a
The movement should have the
hearty support and encouragement of
both the men and the women of the
town who have at heart the promo

Columbia. A circulating library is
far from being a general library,
which the city really ought to have,
but it is a step in the right direction.

ting the latter.
