TROLLEY AND FLAT-CAR
rvLrsr
COLLISION OX THE BROOKLYN LIKE
YESTERDAY.
Pnssengers "Were Badly Frlgrnteme
and Shaken Up, bnt Not Se
riously Injured.
A Brooklyn electric car crashed Into a
Southern Pacific flatcar at 2 o'clock yes
terday afternoon. The accident happened
on the Brooklyn and Powell branch of the
City. & Suburban Railway Company's sys
tem at the Intersection of Grand avenue
and East Caruthers street.
The electric car was partly forced off
the trucks over on Its side, and the pas
sengers were badly frightened and shaken
up, but fortunately no one was seriously
injured.
On East Caruthers street a spur extends
from the main line of the Southern Pa
cific Railway to Inman, Poulseo & Co.'s
saw mill. A stvltch engine handles cars
loaded with lumber. At the time the ac
cident happened a long train of flatcars
was being pushed toward the saw mill
on the high trestle across Stephens Slough.
The view of Grand avenue south from -the
railroad is shut off by the hotel and some
other buildings. The 'electric car came
northward on Grand avenue down the
grade toward the bridge across Stephens
Slough, at the south end of which the
railroad spur extends. At the Intersection
of Grand avenue and East Caruthers the
electric car met the first of the nine flat
cars and was knocked over to one side.
Both the electric and flatcar seem to
have reached the crossing of the two
tracks almost at the same instant, and
the electric car, being the lighter, had
to yield the right of way. The passen
gers inside saw that a collision was In
evitable and made a lively scramble to
get out through the rear door, but were
unable to do so before the accident oc
curred. Miss Olga Gunderson, daughter of Dep-

Irene Scott and Misses Agnes and Maldron f
Kelly, daughters oi ex-snerin renuraoni
Kelly, were on the car, but sustained no
injuries, There were about 13 passengers
on the car, and outside of a few minor
cuts frqza flying glass and bruises all es
caped. The flatcar that struck the trol
ley car was carried to the south side of
Grand avenue, where- its trucks were "un
shipped. All the windows of the electric
car were broken, and the body was
wrenched somewhat. C. F. Swigert, of the
City & Suburban, soon made hfa appear,
ancer and a wrecking crew from the
Southern Pacific carshops soon cleared the
trades
Bystanders say that it Is the custom on
this switch for the braKeman to go aneaa
and flag the cars and passing teams, slnco
the switch Is not often used. The street
cars also usually stop before reaching the
crossing. Yesterday tne oraKeman am
not bring the train to a stop or flag the
car. The motorman Nmade an effort to
stop, but the rails were slippery and the
car -went over the track, when it was hit
by the train. On all the main lines the
conductor goes ahead to flag the car, but
on switches the duty of protecting the
traffic Is deemed to rest with the train
men.
UNION AVENUE WIDENING.
3Ia Meeting Want Preliminaries
Expedited as Rapidly as PonslMe.
At a meeting of citizens of Woodlawn
and Piedmont, held last night in Buxton's
Building, on Union and Alnsworth ave-
nues, under the auspices of the Eleventh
Ward Board of Trade, it was decided to
expedite the widening of Union avenue to
SO feet between Alberta street and De
kum avenue. It was also decided not to ask
for any change in the location of the site .
of the proposed new schoolhouse, and it I
will be built on the grounds occupied by j
the old building. j
W. T. Vaughn presided. There was full j
discussion of the widening of Union ave- I
nue. Some objections to the widening ,
were urged on the grounds that 60 feet
was wide enough for a street .so far out,
and further that it was too great a sac
rifice to ask the owner of a single lot to
give a 10-foot strip off his ground. It
would not be so great a sacrjflce to the
large property-owner, but to the poor man
the Ipss was very great.
Robert Campbell spoke strongly for the
widening on the ground that it would
largely benefit every property-owner on
the avenue, and that while the loss of a
10-foot strip might seem considerable it
would be compensated by the increased
value.
A, F. Flegel made a strong argument for
the widening and the consequent improve
ment of Union avenue. He said that he
sympathized with the owner of a single
lot who must lose a considerable strip.
There would be a great extent of country
which would reap benefit, but the owners
would not be called on to pay anything.
Mr. Flegel said that he should be willing
to Join in a subscription to further com
pensate the owners of the single lots than
what should be allowed them by the view
ers as a matter of Justice to them. He
thought that at least J1000 could be raised
by such a subscription from among those
who would not have to pay anything, but
who would be benefited.
E; C. -Bronaugh, chairman of tho street
committee, was present, and on invitation
explained how the damages and benefits on
a street are assessed.
"E. Quackenbush, one of the owners of
the Piedmont tract, also spoke, and urged
that the widening would add value to all
property in the neighborhood. He de
clared that his observation was that wide
streets and wide roads were always highly
beneficial, and always, more than compen
sated for any loss in landl Mr. Quacken
bush also repeated his desire to see Union
avenue widened to 120 feet from the East
Burnslde Bridge through to Woodlawn.
and said he stood ready to aid such a
movement all Jin his power. If this should
be done a 100-foot avenue would also be
opened through Piedmont to a connection
with the Portland boulevard.
After the discussion ,it -vtas moved and
carried that the street committee be In
structed to do everything possible to ex
pedite the widening of Union avenue, and
follow the same up with Its Improvement.
Chairman Vaughn called up the hchool
house site question. No one had anything
to say, and no action was taken to have
the site changed. It was the consensus of
opinion that if the community should get
up a quarrel over the location It might re
sult In the erection of the building being
postponed.
Paneral of Mr. and Mrs. Campbell.
The double funeral of Mr. and Mrs. An
gus Campbell was held yesterday after
noon from their late home, 530 East Lin
coln street. Rev. Jerome aicuiaae con
ducted the services. William Dean W. B.
Honeyman, A. Thurlow, Robert Sunder
land. J. S. Johnstone and Robert Collier
were the pall-bearers. There was a large
attendance of the friends of the family.
Many beautiful floral tributes were received.
East Side Notes.
Bids have been received for the erection
of the Southern Pacific boiler and black
smith shop, and will probably be opened
tomorrow. The contract will likely be let
within a week, and work may be started
by the first of next month.
Emll, Eugene, Walter and Miss Margaret
GUllnsky are very sick at their home, 350
East Taylor street, with typhoid fever.
They have been sick for some time. The
condition of Eugene for the past few days
ha sbeen so serious that bis recovery has
been considered' very doubtful.
Frank RIchter, who was employed by
W. G. Hlrschberger, of Sellwood, has dis
appeared and Is suspected of robbing his
employer of about $75 worth of articles
from the store.. He had been employed in
the store of Mr. Hlrschberger for about a
month. He left the store about the middle
of the week.
Dr. O. D. Thornton, dentist, 503 Dekum.
mates of Seventh street have been de
layed. Several property-owners have protested
against having to pay for the entire pave
ment at the intersection with Ankeny
street. Seventh street has been widened
at that place, and the cost of the pave
ment there will fall heavily upon them.
They aver that if the abutting property Is
compelled to stand the entire cost it will
practically mean confiscation. The formal
protest is addressed to the Council, and
is signed by B. Devaney, E. Bessie Bond.
Kaufman & Co.. and Mrs. A. M. Tucker
City Engineer Chase said last night that
the protest will probably not delay the
paving of the street. The proposal to Im
prove the throroughfare has gone too far
to be stopped now. The Council may
make some arrangement that will be
agreeable to the protesting property-own
ers
ert Currie, a youthful sailor, have pleaded
guilty to an attempt at burglary. They
were remanded for sentence. When be
ing taken to a cell Fetterly spoke to the
Judge and asked that a picture of his
young sister be returned to him. He made
such a touching appeal that the Judge
ordered his return and deferred sentence.
He expressed the opinion that Fetterly
had been led astray by evil companions.
Both the boys confessed to the police
when captured recently that they had
traveled all oer the East, robbing church
altars. .
