The car was stopped one mile west of Portage, but In the short space of three miles thir teen persons were killed. The oar crashed Into a number of cars standing on the track and was wrecked. An investigation disclosed the mangled body of a man lying be side the track. Going further another body was found. Several hundred feet up the Incline two bodies, horribly mangled, were lying on tho track. On, and still on, the searchers went, and by the time they had arrived at Puri tan thirteen bodies had been counted. COUNT! 10 HELP PAVE_PEACHTREE THAT IS, IF .BITULITHIC WORK IS WANTED.

U\ Wilkes unit It. M. Gann, brought before tho commission ers tho mattor of placing pavement on I.cr street from Gordon street to tlie city limits. Mr. Hill suited that tho road was In a poor condition, and that chert seemed Inadequate for the heavy traffic which passed over this much-usod thoroughfare. He asked that the county lay another paving, placing brick between the car tracks and several feet on the sides. Colonel Clifford Anderson next took the Boor and said: “I wish'to say aomothlng at this time, as there are a number of the city councllmen present. Tho county ts willing to do ics part, but It Is getting tired of flxing streets when the city never takes care of them after they are laid. Homo years ngo just for Instance, tho county pavet Peachtree street from Sixth to Four teenth streets. 8lnco then tho city has done absolutely nothing to keep up the paving. Tho county doesn’t see fit to fix street, and roads If the city council will do nothing to keep them up.” Councllmen B. W. Martin, C. A. Wlklei and Alderman J. X. McBachern, appointed by council to look Into tho f paving Lee street, were then heard.
