The Railroads Getting into shape Again
A Temporary Trestle at High street.
The railroads running through Spring
field are recovering frem the terrible effects
of the recent tempest and are getting down
to running order again. Late Sunday
night temporary treStle was completed at
the High street bridge, and the |. b. Il W.
and c. c. Z. Il l. will use it until definite
plans are determined upon. The first train
going over it was tlne night express from
the north, on the |. b. Il W., Sunday
morning. Slowly and tremulOuSly best de
srribes the manner in which the trains
creep over this fragile trestle. The \. y.
p. Il o., of course, also use it, as per con-
tract with the |. b. Il W.
|. G Rawn, assistant train master of the
c. c. Il l., told a reporter this morning
that he thought meeting of c. c. {. x l.
and |. b. Il w. officials will be held here
Tuesday to confer with the city officials
concerning the proposed new bridge at
High street.
The c. c. Il l. are running all their
trains. both through and local.
The |. b. & w. is still having fun with
its western division but expects to be all
right by tonight. The first train coming
from the west today will be No. 4 at $3.50 p.
IN. The officials claim that a scarcity OF
cars is accountable for this, in addition to
the storm difficulty. Much disappointment
was felt among passengers today. No.
went west at ll:25.
No trains are yet running on the Spring
field branch Of the Little Miami, but il is
hoped to have trains running regularly by
tomorrow evening.
This morning gang of several hundred
men began work at Xenia and are coming
this way The work of repairing down to
the damage done to the Little Miami at
Xenia is being pushed rapidly forward.
but it will be several weeks before the road
is in as good condition as it was before the

Remarkable Structures of n Sucke
Temperance Community.

Remarkable Structures of n Sucker
Temperance Community.
CHICAGO, Feb. 1S.-Evanston. lii. was
organized as temperance town. but the
sale of intoxicants has been quietly going
on there for some time. The community
began crusade against liquor selling, and
one of the shining lights was Mai. Singleton
of Kentucky. They first bOycotted the
drug stores. Ii is contended that the re-
formers were not content with this but be-
gan to send agents around to ascertain
what private families were served with bot
tied beer. ana that an attempt was also
made to discover in what families card play
ing prevailed. By this time an influential
class Of temperance people drew back. Miss
Willard divorced herself from the move
ment but Maj. Singleton still retained his
influence and was looked up to by body of
admirers. The trouble eliminated Monday
night week ago, when the reformers intro
duced an ordinance before the board of
trustees TO forever prevent tipping, public
or private, within the precincts of Evanston.
The ordinance provided fine of $500 for
selling or drinking a glass of liquor. No
exception was made in ease of sickness.
With this ordinance passed. the refOrmers
would have things their own way. Cases
were already made out for prosecutions I'M
der this act, but unusual opposition was
met before the board. The practices of the
reformers were denounced. and DR.. Hatfield
pronounced an invective against il. As a
result, it is claimed, of the error of their
ways, Maj. Singleton has departed, and the
espionage is stopped. The ordinance comes
up next Monday, but is expected to Ger
tainly not pass.
