HE SURPRISED ELIZA"
How Farmer Roberts Astonished
His Good Wife.

SALAMANCA, n. Y. Oct John
Roberts, OF North East, is farmer we'll
enough to do, but he had always been
eccentric about his clothes. Until a
week OF so ago he had not been known
to buy a new suit of clothes for years.
The ones he wore had been so often
patched and repatched that no bit of
the original warp and wool was visible.
This personal slOvenliness on the part
OF her husband was source of con-
slant annoyance to Mrs. Roberts,
who is woman of exceptional neat
ness. She long ago became SO
ashamed of his appearance that she
would no longer accompany him to
town to do her trading. This singular
characteristic of the farmer was not ow-
ing to penuriOusness, for he is liberal
man in all his dealings. A few DAYS
ago he went to town to do little trad
ing, and, to the utter establishment of
the town, he purchased new suit of
clothes for himself. His new clothes
were done up in package. and he
beside him when he started home
that night. 1t was a dark night.
Farmer Roberts had got half way
home when a brilliant idea struck
him. He stopped his horse on
bridge where the road crosses the
east branch. ''I'll do it, by gunr'
he said. "I'll do it and surprise Ellzar'
Thereupon the farmer rose up in the
wagon and began to take off the patched
and repatched clothes he had worn so
long. As he removed a garment he
tossed it into the creek until he had
tossed them all in, and had nothing on
but his shirt. 'Great apple sassp' he
exclaimed. "But won't Eliza be SUI
prised!" Then Farmer Roberts reached
for the package that had his new clothes
IN. 1t wasn't OH the seat. Farmer
Roberts got down and reached under
the seat. The package wasn't there.
Then he felt all over the bottom of
the wagon. The package wasn't
anywhere on the bottom. Farmer
Roberts rose up in the wagon and
looked back along the pitch-dark road
Then he climbed back in his seat, and
away the horses went for home. The
night was chilly and there were three
miles to go. When Farmer Roberts
reached home and climbed out of his
wagon he paused. 1.-The hull idee didn't
work." said he. "but I'll bet 50 that l
surprise Eliza" That he did no one
doubts, but when he got up in the MORN
| ing and went out to the barn, clad in
the hired mans overalls, and saw his
| package of new clothes hanging by its
string on the brake handle at the side
| of the wagon he was little surprised
| himself

viii TAKE LEGAL ADVICE.
That Was the Resolve OF the SeIby
Bridge PrOtestants.

Bridge Protestants.
a meeting of property owners resid-
ing on the cable line extension and af-
fected by the assessment recently made
for the construction of bridge across
the Milwaukee tracks, was held last
evening III the municipal court room.
1t was the fourth meeting of its kind.
the former ones having adjourned with
out any definite action being taken
Attorney Richardson, who was present
by request, characterized the assess
ment as wholly Illegal, for the reason
that bridge constructed on the lines
assumed by the one under discussion
ment, and therefore should have been
paid for by the city and the corporation
benefited, and not by private citizens,
who suffered from its presence
more than they had from its absence.
Chairman George S. Heron spoke
OF the futillty OF talk unless some defn-
lite mode of resistance was decided Oh.
Otto &. Sauer thought that a suit en-
tered into on the presumption that the
bridge was not a public Improvement
would be useless expense, as it had
already been decided by the supreme
court that the board of public works
was sore Judge OF the meaning OF the
term publ Improvement" Messrs.
+. w. koot, Ernst Albrecht, Rev. John
Wright ahd others gave their views on
the subject. A resolution was
finally introduced that all present
favoring the appointment of a commit
tee to consult legal authorities on the
probable success OF a lawsuit Oh the
lines Indicated should step up to the
table, sign their names. and deposit 81
to defray the cost of a consultation.
This was passed, and thirty-three sub
Scribed. The committee appointed con
sisted of George S. Heron, treasurer;
Otto X. Lauer, G. w. Mills, F. A. Root
and L. w. Sheehy. The committee
will report at meeting to be held next
Tuesday evening.

ss11.5o was accepted and the contract

S911.5O was accepted and the contract
awarded.
A slight wrangle ensued upon the
question of awarding the contracts for
coal, John Dowlan & Sons protesting in
a letter to the board as to the action of
Shade & Acker amending their bid.
The protest was placed on file. John
Dowlan was allowed to speak before
the board, and said that if one con-
tractor was allowed to modify his bid
the others also should be allowed. III
spector Rodger moved to accept the bid
of Shade q Acker, which was the low
est. Inspectors Heinemann and Kuhles
opposed it. A great deal of talk en-
sued, and the president wrapped vainly
for order until he insisted that further
discussion be stopped and vote taken
on Inspector Rodgers motion.
Mr.. Acker addressed the board at this
point, and explained that the bid of his
firm had not been modified; the only
change they had made was to extend the
time for delivering Streator coal, owing
to the supply on hand in the school
houses being sufficient for thirty days.
The board came to the conclusion that
there was no modification in the bid,
that it was only an accommodation
offered by Messrs. Shade Il Acker. The
vote taken stood six for accepting, and
three for rejecting the bid.
The bids put in for coal were as fol-
lows:
Lehigh Coal and Iron Co... S25 ,651 %
Northwestern Fuel Co... 49,. 5,7SS 40

KILLED BY THE GRIP.
James Brown Crushed to Death
on the Selby Hill.

James Brown, an eX-member of the
fire department. Yves instantly killed
yesterday afternoon by being run into
by cable car on the Selby avenue hill.
1t seems that Brown had attempted the
unusual feat of driving down the steep
grade, when he was overtaken by a
cable car and run down. The vehicle
was smashed into kindling wood and
the driver was badly mangled. The
gripman of the car which struck the
carriage states that it was impossible
to stop in time to prevent the accident.
Mr.. Brown resided at 2S2 Ramsey street.
and was an unmarried man. The re-.
mains were removed to the Chestnut
street morgue. Deceased had been en-
gagged on contract at Merriam Park.
He was thirty-three years old, and is
said to have been fairly we'll provided
for financially.
