A .negro driver had crossed the. two first tracks, while an engine was standing still af the end of the long shed right at the crossing. The engine began to move when the negro was across two tracks. Mr. Rosser says the reason he didn't close the gate on the far side was because it would have shut the negro in and given him no chance to escape As it was he got away. He claims, therefore, that he was not really neg ligent. The moving at the station is so great that it is almost more than gatemen can do to keep np with it. A News man yesterday afternoon saw a street car from Seversville dash across the four tracks while a freight train was pulling down to the station. The car probably had a minute or a minute and a half to spare. The train had got within about 15 or 20 yards of the crossing before the gates began to go down.

Trade Street People Will Be Given Hearing Before Action is TakenSubway Will Cost $35,000; Against $80,000 for Viaduct. That a subway under the tracks of the railroad on East Trade street is preferable to a viaduct was the unani mous opinion reached yesterday after noon by the board of public service, af ter hearing the report of City Engineer Firth, who inspected the viaduct of the L. & N. road in Atlanta, and it was further decided to give the peonle a public hearing on them after before making definite plans as to the work. Mr. Firth's report called attention to the great difference in the cost of the two plans to do away with the grade crossing at this point, and also a differ ence in the matter of protection to the property owners. It was shown that while the via duct would cost as much as $80,000, if not more, the subway could be built for $35,000, and possibly for $30,000, and that the subway would affect no pro perty adjacent save that of the Sea-. board road. The board was of the opinion that not over 15 per cent, of this cost would have to be borne by the city, if the same custom in this matter was observ ed as is observed in other cities where the city government and railroads co operate to eliminate grade crossings. It was, however, decided to let the matter of this apportionment go over until a later meeting, when specific plans are submitted, and the people are heard. Engineer Firth's Report. Mr. Firth's report on the Atlanta viaduct was as follows: Board of Public Service. Gentlemen: In conformance with your instructions I ; made a trip to Atlanta, Ga., to inspect the L. & N. viaduct there. I inspected this viaduct and also several others, and also some subways which were built in part of the street in a manner similar to the plan proposed by the Seaboard Rail way. The L. N. viaduct is situated in a not very respectable quarter of the town at one end and a very respecta ble quarter at the other end. On the respectable end the street underneath has been permanently closed while at the other end it is left open to traffic and entrance provided by a subway in the middle leaving a narrowed passage on each side to ascend to the viaduct. The viaduct extends clear across the street, the sidewalks having ray lights to provide light underneath. The struc ture is of reinforced concrete. This viaduct appears not to have injured the property except at the approaches. In fact it benefits some of it. The other viaducts are in such shape now thr.t one would not know anv changes had been made, as they are Hanked by large substantial buildings, which I was informed, were built after ihe viaduct was constructed. The cost of a viaduct GO feet wide is about $S0 per running foot. After giving considerable thought to the East Trade street crossing, I am not prepared to recommend a viaduct, and before making any plans for the elimination of the crossing would rec ommend that a complete survey of the railroad from Twelfth street south, together with the intersecting streets be made. With my present numerous duties and scanty help it will be some time before I will find time to do this. I am still of the opinion that a sub way as proposed in my original plan will meet the present and future plans better than a viaduct, and can be built for much less than either the viaduct or subway proposed by the railroad. Yours truly, JOSEPH FIRTH. Mr. Sargent's Report. To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the Board of Public Service. Gentlemen: At one of the early meetings of the board of aldermen, our board was requested to investi gate the question of a change of grade on East Trade street at the intersec tion of "A" street. As chairman of the transportation department, the work of investigat ing the condition at East Trade street was part of my duty.""" It is no doubt in jrood form that I now review the situation. I have been paying particular at tention to the crossing situation most of my spare time, and being strong ly opposed to grade crossings in the heart of the city, I have carefully studied the conditions in other com munities where I am Avell acquainted with the steps that have been taken to abolish grade crossings. It goes without argument that the present conditions at this particular crossing are anything but what they should be. and. if the conditions are bad now. what will they be when the Southern has diverted to this line a great part of the freight now being handled over the tracks in the west ern section of the town, and when the South & Western comes in over the tracks of the Seaboard on this street? When these two important changes have taken place, will not the prop erty valuation in the eastern section of the town be materially adversely affected? Pedestrians Counted. my solicitation the mavor re- A. Most Valuable Agent. The glycerine employed in Dr. Pierce's medicines greatly enhances the medicinal properties which it extracts from native medicinal roots and holds in solution much better than alcohol would. It also possesses medicinal properties of its own, being a valuable demulcent, nutritive, antiseptic and antiferment. It adds greatly to the efficacy of the Black Cheny bark, Bloodroot, Golden Seal root, Stone root and Queen's root, contained in "Golden Medical Discovery "in subduing chronic, or lingering coughs, bronchial, throat and lung affections, for all of which these agents are recommended by stand ard medical authorities.

It is one of the best manufactured products of the present time in its action upon enfeebled, disordered stom achs, especially if there is ulceration or ca tarrhal gastritis (catarrhal inflammation of stomach), it is a most efficient preparation.

I am heartily in favor of the plans of our engineer, which, in my estima tion, will not damage any of the prop erty interest of our citizens, but will in several instances improve the properly. I will cll the attention of the board to the fact that the change necessitated by our own plans will not extend more than one hundred feet on each side of the railroad. That the cost of th's plan cannot exceed more than $30,000. It lias been the custom in other communities when a change of grade is made to tax the city not more than 15 per cent of the total cost, this p mount being charged against the city to pay for the work done upon the city's streets affected by the change, but in all of these instances the railroads own their right-of-way I by purchase. With "A" street the conditions are different, for the street belongs to tho city with the excep tion of the one original track of the North Carolina Railroad Company, the balance has been loaned to the railroads under certain restrictions. Such being the' case, I strongly urge that the railroads should stand the entire cost of the change. It is very difficult, gentlemen, to enter into any important change without honest, and courteous dissent on the part of those affected and while this work is only preliminary, and may take considerable time to reach conclusion.. I have faith in our board that whatever final steps may be decided upon, that the result will be for the best good of the larg est number, and the future welfare of the city js a whole. - Yours very truly, E. L. SARGENT. Young Man Killed By Train Sunday Special to The Newr. Asheville, N. C, March 31 William McCali, an employe of the Southern Railway, was run over and instantly killed in the Southern yards here Sun day afternoon. McCali, who was an air inspector, wat at work under a freight car in specting the air connections, when, through some mistake, a string of freight cars were switched onto the track upon which the car, under which he was working, was standing. The unfortunate man was thrown under the wheels and several cars passed over his body killing him instantly, his body when recovered being terribly mangled and his head crushed in. The remains were removed to a local undertaking establishment, and will be shipped to Straw Plains, Tenn., where his father resides. Mrs. Harriot Stevenson Stricken With Paralysis At quested the police department to count the number of pedestrians and vehicles passing over this particular crossing in one day, and in the twelve hours during which a record was kept 18,000 crossed over. To do away with the possibility of accident, to improve and facilitate the passage of pedes trians and vehicles, and to give the railroads every opportunity of quick transit a change should be made. As to the form of change, we may differ; but I am opposed to the via duct proposition, because I believe it will damage the property interest for one thousand feet along East Trade, Special to The News. Statesville, N. C, March 31 Mts. Harriet Stevenson widow of the late John Stevenson, of Cool Springs town ship, who has been making her home with her brother. Mr. W. D. Phifer, on Front street, for some time, suffered a stroke of paralysis Sunday morning, and is now in a critical condition. Not withstanding that she is more than 80 years of age, Mrs. Stevenson was active, and up and about the house early Sunday morning. About 7:30 o'clock she went out on the porch and washed her face and hands, returning to the house apparently in her usual health, when she was suddenly strick en with paralysis.
