It is frought with vexations tliat confront with double forced obstinacy. He Is between two fires. Behind him Is the general public elamoiing for needed repairs hereand there; in front ale the In dividual owners upon which the duty of reparlng devolves. However the accident that nceuirod yesterday should bo a warning to, not only the city outalso to numerous pmpcity owners throughout the city where defective sidewalks are that should at once lecelve prompt atlcntloi .

He CliiuiKud Cull. Among the many stieet ear trav elers yesterday, was a pionnnent merchant with his fa i lly, and while two cars passed eacli other on the Commercial street siding, the drivers changed cars with each other. Some one called out to "change ears" and the merchant lefened to, quickly stepped over to the other car, not thinking that a joke was being play ed on him. As soon as he had lairlv seated himself the ears started oil', and before lie realized what was going on, the cars were fast going in opposite directions, the husband on one car and his family on the other. If you would see him smile Just go around and ask him how to "change ears." V. M. O. A. iiueiilliin.

Sunday altcrnoon about three o'clock, the city was thrown Into a fever of excitement over one of the most serious and probably fatal ac cidents that has occurred In the city of Salem for years before. For some time It has ucen realized that the numerous old wooden awnings throughout the city, were in a dangerous condition. About eighteen inontliH ago this matter came up before the city council and at the time it met with a lively dis cussion. Heretofore an ordinance had been in force ordering the re moval of all wooden awnings in- hI1o the fire limits but us a number of new awnings had just been erect ed at that time the onllnanco was fought until it read "hereafter no person shall erect, etc., etc." Yes terday was a sample of what the change of that oidinance has caused and will cause until they are all re moved. On the enst side of Commercial stieet, between Slate and Ferry stieets Is simply erected a lot of death-dealing traps. These are not 'be only ones in the city by a do.cn others or more. They should all bo removed without parley or discus sion. In course of time the result will bo as yesterday's accident or probably more fatal. 0'i: KALI.H. The old wooden strtieluie In front of I ho building, No. 'S8 Uommercial slieet, occupied by Bchoemaker fe Klshburn, and owned by John A. itotuu fell yesterday on Irving Clag gett,of Independence, and to-da'y he inlying In a critical condition, writh ing In exerutiating pains from liiju iles received by the accident yester day. now rr iiaim'i:ni:i. As soon as the accident occurred a Journal reporter was on I lie scene and the following are the facts in the case. J)ell Dlusiunro and Homer Craven, two yotiiiggentlenien, were passing along Commercial street and their attention was attracted to the awning which was slowly sink ing down in the center. While they weie standing looking at it an old gentleman came along and the boys hailed him and warned him of the danger. He walked around and thus narrowly escaped. A number of persons sitting at Mlnto and Lowe's barn noticed thu danger and watched it for twelvo or fifteen minutes when it stopped settling and no more notice was taken of It. In about seven teen minutes by actual count from the time the old gentleman was warned, along came Irving (Maggot coming up the street from Court toward State street. It seems that lie came up so quietly no one noticed his approaching and he stepped under the precipitated awn ing before- anyone could stop him. as soon as ho had stepped under It, down came the whole thlngon him. The crash attracted the attention of all In that neighborhood, who at once wont to the spot to 11 ml Mr. Clagget covered with debris and lying In an unconscious condition. If. A. Mcllannau, Jap. Mlnto and lVto Philips, wore the tlrst ones to his assistance, and as soon as they could get him out they carried him to (3 Ibson & Singleton's drug store, for treatment. A doctor was sent for, but as It so happened, there was not a single one of the medical pro fession handy. Lee Stelner, clerk at the drug store, rendered all possl. bio Aid ho could to relieve him of the severe pains at the time, and to stimulate him. In a short time Drs, Hlehaidson and ltowhuul were on hand, and upon examination, found that the Injuries consisted ot two fractures of the bones "Tibia and Klhulti" between the knee and ankle on the left leg. A severe bone fracture Just below the ankle and his nose was uIm broken and his upper P "lUliy cut. Mis rum mho also bruised and the full result of his . . . Injuries are hard to get at. As soon as his Injuries were fixed he w a can led to the home of his son, Geo. Claggett, who resides at ;00 Marlon street, and everything pos.lblo rendered to make him com fortable. All last nigh! he was very rest let, and up to the time of going to preen no material change for the better can bo noticed. It Is feared that the shock and Injuries will prove fatal.

It Is now time that the city council should nass an nrdi- nance and see it enforced that all the death dealing traps be removed, j,a.ti;h. At four o'clock the uurortiiinitf victim Is still no better. It is feared his injuries are greater than was first thought to be. A SUSPICIOUS CIIAUACTKII. The City Otllcrr Arrest Olio Agilntu Strunb lor Sellliif; Lienor. Last evening City oillcers Glaze and Minto arrested a strangcr,Agus tusStMiib, on the charge of selling liquor to Indians. Yesterday there was a large number of Indians camped near the depot and it seems that along late in the evening Straub visited the camp and was induced by one of the Indians to come to the city and pur chase a half gallon of "lire-water." The Indian gave him one dollar and wanted one-half gallon of whisky, and the prisoner stepped into a sa loon where he found that lie could not purchase the icqulrcM amount of whisky for the money, so the In dliin gave him one dollar more, mak ing two dollars for the half gallon of whisky. The oillcers got onto the racket and arrested the gentleman near Fisher's b.iru. He attempted to get away out was caught and lodged in the cooler where he was searched. On him was found a pocket book, containing &I or $1, and also a valuable diamond ear ring, valued at about fr!0U. He claims that he never bought the whisky for the Indian, and says he has the Indian's money in hisiocket yet. The ollleers think that proba bly they have artested a well-known thief, and that the diamond lias been stolen from some one. He hud his pocket-book containing the dia mond in Ills shoe. The trial is being held this afternoon.

From early morning until the cars were housed at ten o'clock last evening, was a continuous trtvel of people from one end of tho line to the other. The day was pleasant and Salem's citizens are not slow in taking ad vantage of such an occasion. Tho present street car Hue, has added more toward the advancement of Salem, than any other concern that has ever started in the city, and what Salem wants now, is more of such enterprises. ltimlilni; it Towitid Completion, The contractors who are putting in the new tire proof vault at the court house, are rushing tho work along as fast as possible.
