The Traction Engine Ordinance.

The city ordinance which forbids the
owners of traction engines from running
them within the city limits is very
questionable one, both as to it's exped.
iency and it's legality. As result of it
the corporation already has two suits on
its hands and it ought to be repealed or
modified before it causes further trouble.
Some weeks ago gentleman was fined
under the ordinance and on Monday
Euclid Sanders, while bringing his en-.
gine to the shop for repairs, was arrested
and fined by the Mayor but has appealed
the case to the Common Pleas Court.
The manufacturers of these engines
claim that wherever such ordinances
have existed they have never been sus.
tanned in court. The machines are com.
ing into general use and it is almost i'm.
possible to move one over the county
without passing through Hillsboro corp.
oration. McGlinchy is the only machin.
list within radius of many miles who
can repair one and it is hardship and
an injustice that the owners are not al
lowed to even bring one into the town
for repairs. The danger of frightening
horses is very great, but where the en-
gineer is watchful it is greatly reduced
A modification of the ordinance per
mitting the owners of traction engines
to take them through the city after
night or along certain streets, designated
by an officer, would protect citizens from
annoyance without interfering with the
rights of engine owners.

LITERAR7 NOTES.

The July Century is to contain an
article on General Miles Indian Cam.
paigns," by Major G. w. Baird, one OF
his former staff officers. Since 1874 Gen.
eral Miles has been an active agent in
the settlement Of the Indian question.
His numerous campaigns against the
hostiles, from that year down to the
operations that culminated in the death
OF Sitting Bull last winter, are, described
in this article, which is illustrated by a
recent portrait Of General Miles, and by
several typical drawings by Frederic
Remington.
How the moon looks when viewed
through the great telescope of the Lick
Observatory (the largest in the world)
will be shown by reproductions OF poto.
graphs in the July Century. Professor
Edward s. Holden, chief astronomer of
the Observatory, has prepared briet
paper describing the principal features
exhibited in these views. by the aid of
series of lunar photographs now being
taken, it is expected to settle definitely
the vexed question OF changes on the
moons surface,
Two days before he sailed for Europe,
Professor Briggs placed in the hands of
the editor Of the North american Reuiew
very important paper on "The Theo-
logical Crisis" which will be read with
great interest in view OF the controversy
that is not yet ended. 1t will be printed
in the July number OF the Reviev.

Reunion Of the RHble FANNY,

Among the most enjoyable events of
the season was the reunion of the Ruble
family at their old home near Buford,
o., on Sunday, June 14th, 1891. On
that day Grandfather Henry Ruble
reached the eighty. fifth milestone in
the journey of life. All of the children
and grandchildren were present to make
the occasion an enjoyable one.
An elegant dinner was spread before
the assembled guests beneath the beau.
tiful shade trees. Grandfather Ruble
was presented with pair of solid gold
spectacles by his children as a small
token of the respect and love they had
for him. After dinner was over speeches
were made by many of those present in
which many funny incidents and events
connected with the life of the man in
whose honor the reunion was held, were
related. rt'f
Much credit is due Miss Lyons, Of
Buford;a and Miss Gossett, of Pricetown
for the fine music rendered, both vocal
and instrumental.
Among those present from distance

A CLOUD BuRsr.
The Almost unprecedented RAih.Fsll
Of Saturday. EVENING".

The rain storm which passed over this
place on Saturday evening was one Of the
heaviest that has been known for years.
The succession Of. showers that fell at
about nine o'clock was 80 heavy and
sudden that the cutters and ordinary
channels were insufficient to carry eff
the water and in many places the streets
were flooded from curb to curb and
many yards and gardens we're completely
covered with sheets. Of water, in some
cases causing considerable damage.
The RESERVOIR at the new Chair Factory,
which has been recently enlarged ii,
capacity. was level with its sembankments
within half hour after. the first heavy
shower, although the area which, il
drains is of SMALL extent. For some
time it was feared that the bank would
give way and prove a miniature Johns
town to the houses. that stand just below,
but by cutting a channel Of exit for the
surplus water the pressure was relieved,
The embankment of the Bent Works
reservoir was cut entirely through and
in many places near town the pixies
were badly washed. The injury to, the
wheat was also considerable, as it is
now too heavy to rise again after being
blown down. The aspect of the sky
was noted by a number of persons az
being something phenomenal, as during
a part of the storm the moon continued
to shine between riffs in the inky black
ness, presenting very unusual appear

A curious case came up before the
Board of Equalization at Washingto Oh.
the other day, which will greatly inter.
est our business men and perhaps call
attention to some matters connected
with our own tax returns, which need
investigation and correction. The big
wholesale grocery OF Dahl, Baer & Co.
made the discovery last year that they
were paying one thirtieth of all the per-
sonal tax in the city. They naturally
concluded that this was more than their
proportion inasmuch as their stock was
not equalto the hundredth part of the
entire taxable personally. This year
they reduced their return to the apprais.
or and were accordingly summoned be.
fore the Board to show why $4,000
should not be added to them. Mr.. Harry
Dahl appeared for the firm and in his
argument cited q number of business
firms that had returned for taxation only
Q small per cent of their stock, among
others mentioning the house of s. w.
Cissna 4 Co., which had listed only
A,5OO. Mr.. Dahl stated that this stock
was worth SIS, 900, and made the rpropo.
sition that he would give that much in
cash for it. Mr.. Cissna who was present
promptly accepted the offer. This swift
transaction took away the breath of the
bystanders. but II was no bluff and the
the trade will be completed In few days.

The T. P. Vance disbarment case came
up for trial on Monday, and is now in
progress. Vance is charged with taking
fees from both parties in several cases,
and with other conduct involving moral
turpitude and in violation of his oath
as an attorney. There are nine different
charges, running back through trans
actions to 1879. There were forty.four
witnesses in attendance on Tuesday,
with many yet to hear from, and the
testimony when completed will make an
unabridged record of Buford townships
moral and social history for the last
twenty years. The case Is a remarkable
one and is exciting great interest by its
sensational developments.

A Bad Piece Of Work.

Since our publication last week of q
comparative statement of the rates at
which personal property was appraised
in the two precincts of Liberty township,
the tax payers of the South Precinct
have been considerably worked up over
the ridiculously low figures at which
property has been listed in the North
Precinct. Take the item of horses for
instance. The average value in the
North Precinct is $47.2 plus while that
in the South Precinct is $59.5 plus, a
difference of about $l2.S per head. Cattle
are fixed at $16.s in the North and $23
in the South. Carriages in the North
are about $28.7, in the South $50. The
averages for other items show a cores
ponding difference in favor Of the North
Precinct. The law requires this proper.
ty to be returned at its full value, but
in spite of the instructions given the
Assessors the discrepancy between the
two parts of Liberty township is entirely
too great to be satisfactorily accounted
for by the real difference in values. The
assessed values in the South Precinct
cannot be complained OF as too high and
are certainly reasonable. If the fixing
of values in the North Precinct was done
as incompetently and inaccurately by
the Assessor as was the rest of his work
the whole may be set down as bad job,
and lesson to tax payers to see in the
future that none but competent men
are elected to fill that important Office.
