WRECK ON PENNSY
CAUSES TEN HOUR
DELAY OF TRAFFIC

Traffic was held up for nearly 10
hours Sunday by a wreck on the
Cincinnati division of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad four miles east of Rich
mono at Meals station where the track
crosses the National road.
A broken wheel on a northbound
freight is believed to be the cause of
the wreck which tore up the track for
six car lengths, smashed six cars
loaded with coal, and seventh, an
empty refrigerator car.
The wreck occurred at 1:05 o'clock
Sunday afternoon, but the track was
not cleared until nearly 10 o'clock
that night. No one was injured, the
officials of the company reported, al
though at the end of the train only
two cars besides the caboose were
left standing on the track, all of the
center cars having been overturned.
The train was said to have been
making good time on the downgrade
from Campbellstown to Richmond
when the accident occurred. The
first marks of the derailment were
made on the road crossing under the
interurban viaduct, the wreck narrow
ly missing the yiaduct itself The
seven cars that were wrecked all left
the track following the derailment oil
the car with the broken wheel.

IMPORTANT MEASURES
UP TO COUNCIL men
AT SESSION TONIGHT
Warren S. Stone

Daylight saving, city planning, po-
lice auto. light plant appropriations
and traffic ordinances are some of the
subjects to be discussed at a meet
ing of the city council, Monday even
ing. The daylight savings ordinance
comes up for third reading.
Transfer of $1,700 from the police
fund originally appropriated for the
purchase of a new automobile, to the
account for the rebuilding of automo-
biles now owned by the city, will come
up for discussion again at this meet
ing The matter was debated at some
length at the last meeting, by Walker
Land, president of the board of works,
and Joseph Waterman, first ward
councilman.
The recommendation of the board
of works was that the S1,700 be turned
over to rebuilding of cars, thus saving
the city enough money to buy an addi-
tional car for the police department.
The measure was opposed by Walter
mann on the ground that this plan
would provide one car more for the
police department than the original
resolution had called for.
Measure Held Up
Another measure held up ct the
last meeting is that of appropriations
for light plant expenses. Purchases
of wire, office material, meters and
other supplies amounting to approx
| mately $1,000 are provided for in the
ordinance.
| At the same time this ordinance was
presented, superintendent Hess, man
! ager of the plant was anxious to have
it passed at once as he could get a
| special price on the purchase of a sup
ply of wire.
The traffic ordinance will come up
for the second reading. The city
planning ordinance comes up for final
! reading.

ARCHITECTS WORKING
ON PLANS FOR JURY
ROOM ALTERAT IONS

Plans for changing the location of
the jury room on the third floor of
the court house are in the hands of
architects and will be taken up by
the commissioners as soon as they
have been put into suitable form, ac-
cording to the statement of county Of
ficials Monday.
"The duty of serving on the jury
goes with the privilege of voting,
said Judge w A Bond Monday "Our
present jury room is not arranged to
care for women as well as men jurors,
but 1t is our plan to make the new
arrangement adequate for any emerg-
ency."
The new plan for the arrangement
of the upper floor Of the courthouse
will place the judges office back of
the bench, with his library occupying
the space now used as a jury room.
The south office now used by the
judge will be turned over to Mrs. E.
w. Gambler, juvenile probation Off
Ger, and the office occupied by her in
the southwest corner of the building
will be turned over as the room for
the men jurors.
The office formerly occupied by the
Social Service bureau and later by
David L. Reid, township assessor. will
become the jury room proper, with a
special room for the accommodation
of the women on the north. At pres.
ent the Wayne county grand jury Is
using this room.
1t is also possible that the large
storage space south of the court room
now used for the storing of miscellan
eous articles will be cleared out and
turned into grand jury room.

take up an investigation of the Dickin-
son Trust company to determine
whether or not a crime had been com
mitted by the head of the institution,
were included in the charge of Judge
w A. Bond, to the grand jury when
it convened Monday morning Albert
Anderson was appointed foreman by
the court
ut has come to the attention of the
court, through the pubic press and
otherwise since the last session of the
grand jury, and it is also a matter OF
common knowledge, that one of our
banking institutions was compelled to
close for few days recently. Whether
or not any crime was committed that
caused this condition the court does
not know, but Il is the belief of the
court that the matter is important
enough to be placed before the grand
jury
The court is informed that the pros
ecuting attorney has number of mat
ters to bring up which had been con.
sidered by the previous grand jury.
Refers to Light Plant
Reference to matters that had been
considered before, by previous
grand jury, is believed to pertain to
the investigation of the Municipal
Light plant coal contracts, and the
charges against James P Dillon, for
mer superintendent, of misappropria-
tion of money for the payroll account
AT the time the coal contract mat.
ter was brought up, the grand jury in
its report advised postponement OF
the investigation until the report OF
the state board of accounts had been
made.
Representative of the state board
of accounts have been looking over
city records for several months past
and the fact that the prosecutor may
have seen fit to bring up the matter
again is taken to mean that the report
has been rendered
