The Meter stopped by q Spiders Web.

The Meter stopped by Spiders Web.
The superintendent OF an electric light sta
ton, says the Chicago Times. gives strange
instance OF the stopping Of meter and the ex-
plantation of the trouble.
On examining the meter, which was Of twenty.
eight capacity, after lapse of month, in order
to determine the quantity Of current to be
charged for, he found that the consumer, in
the pressure Of business, had placed number
OF small boxes around the meter, concealing it
from view.
As it was desirable not to disturb them II wa a
suggested and agreed to that the meter be
allowed to run another month. At the end of
the second month, the coast being clear, the
meter was examined and it was found that IL
recorded only five hours since the time Of last
examination.
This looked suspicious, but there was no
ground 70 believe that the meter had been tam
pered with.
A very close inspection revealed the fact that
spider had spun its web around the fans 20
that they could not rotate under the action Of the
current.
1t appears that the screws which held the
cover 10 the top Of the instrument had not been
put in and that the spider had taken advantage
OF the opening and established himself In the
coy quarters.

and Prince of Police Endangered.
Colbert Declined 10 Pay for His Trust Stock
and Declared Ii q Case Of Thieyery-A

The day of grace is mp. The burning
question of the hour is, will Thomas +.
Colbert pay for his share of Consumers
Gas Trust stocki The story is, in brief. as
follows:
In the days when a lot of claquers were
yelling Boom the Trust" several years
since. Mesrour al Colbert could not resist
the tide which was to bear all subscribers
to 3 state of cheap and abundant gas.
He had the call Of Giafar al
Frenzel IN his ears. and, with
an office in view, he could not forbear
swelling the popular movement to the ex-
tent of one share of stock. for which he
never paid. 1t was o case like many others
Of subscribing and repenting of it after
ward. At least no effort was spared to keep
o string on that signature to the stock.
The company has waited these weary years
for the string to be cut. but Mesrour al Col
bert was not built in that fashion. In an
unconscious moment. forgetfui OF who the
Mesrour is. the company ordered suit to
brought In Justice Walpole's court for the
collection of the SIS due on the stock.
The suit went for the plaintiff on default,
and. with the costs, the Judgment amounted
to S35. The execution was put In the
hands of'Constable William Cook, who

ound the Mesrour at the police station and
made known his wants. A dark frown
overspread the chiefs face.
"TIl not pay that" said he.
VERY we'll" said the constable, between
whom and Colbert intimacy is wanting;
"Tll go to your house and make q levy"
IF you do came the naughty answer.

"Oh. that's all right" continued Cook;
"for that matter, | always 60 prepared to

But you cant collect that of of me. l

will pay that judgment. or escape only by
filing q schedule
well, I'll file q schedule"
This spirited but painful interview came
thus to a close. Constable Cook, however,
was afterward informed that the Mesrour
had promised the court that. If given until
the first of the month. meaning to-day,
when the police draw their pay, he would
satisfy the judgment. The day has come.
Will 1t be satisfied
There is reason to believe not. Constable
Cook was notified yesterday, by q Trust at
torney. to hold Oft until further orders.
This is taken to mean an indefinite post
Mesrour sought President Hawkins.
of the Board of Public Safety. to
intercede in his behalf. In this way,
Haroun al Su!eyvan was impressed into
service in the same cause, and through the
Haroun, the ear of Giafar al Frenzel was
reached. Now GIafar is accustomed to
boss the pen, and, being interested in the
Trust company, is credited with securing
the Ordernot to press the Colbert judgment.
1t is pertinent to state that many others
who refused to pay for stock subscribed
found no avenue of personal favor throug
which to escape.

men met last evening In Room IL, When

made by the Young Ladies' MONDAY Rest.

first year of it's existence. There were q
number Of ROTATIONS. music BY the Young

q report by Miss Wooden, of the national

benefit of young women who are clerks in
downtown stores or who are employed in
offices. has grown in favor from the first.
To this place they come to spend the noon
hour. eat the luncheon they have brought
with them and rest. The average attend
auce each day from the first has been sixty
seven. This number was arrived at by TAX
ing account of those to whom drlnks-tea,
coffee or milk-were sold. The total num-
Der of visits paid by young ladies amounted
to %. 937. This report read by the president
of the MONDAY Rest, Miss Carrie Duth,
was listened to with great attention. Be-
tween $500 and Il. 600 have been expended
upon furnishings and supplies for the room.

Railway Signals.

che Grand Rapids CMich.) Democrat pub
fishes q lengthy interview with Il. s.
ORourke, superintendent of the southern
division of the Grand Rapids q Indiana
road, on railroad matters generally. When
asked what could be lone to check the ap-
parent increase in railway fatalities. he
said: II know of no mechanical device
that is sufficiently Independent of human
control to be reliable. The whole thing
depends. primarily, upon the service of
some one or more men. The so-called
block system can only be valuable as the
station men at the signal posts perform
their duty. Any forgetfulness upon their
part to signal adjacent stations of the posi-
ton of an intermediate train might easily
cause q wreck. IL is q question with
me whether the increase of appliances is @
great benefit. after all. IL must be ad-
united that these systems are all capable
OF greatly subscribing the public safety,
but SO long as we must rely primarily upon
men performing their duties. j don't know
that it matters much whether we have one
appliance or many. The thing we must RELY
upon Is sober. cool and faithful employees.

Soldiers Orphane' Home.

The annual report of the Soldiers and
Sailors Orphans Hc.ne. at X nghstown,
was filed with the Auditor of State yester-
day. The institution is IN healthy state
of existence and the report shows it to
compare favorab.y with any institution OF
the kind in the cou ntry. The last Legisla-
ture appropriated $4,000 for the mainten-
ance of the home. but later by special law
appropriated SIS per month per capita.
The trustees seem TO be of the opinion that
500, COO is not sufficient TO maintain the
home, but that with So per capita sppro-
priatIon they can do nicely.

Fewer Passes to BE Issued.

are included in the number. Although the
Western roads took the lead in the matter,
the Eastern roads are joining heartily In the
movement. 1t proposed TO limit the issue
of passes to such IN extent that they can
be given only H. exchange for service of
some kin actually rendered. In speaking
of the matter a passenger official said YES
terday that for years-and he supposed 10
was the same with other roads-his road
had been furnishing passes to whole FAM
lies because In some former period some
member of the family had been connected
with that road. Then there were men who
had been in some legislative body who had
favored the road in some vote, aad for so
doing seemed To thing they have a claim
for free transportation for life. l5 is pro-
posed to get rid of these pass beggars by
unanimous action If possible. To do away
wholly with issuing free transportation Is
impracticable, but that the abuse of the

The shipments of east-bound freight from
Chicago last week, not including the live
stock. aggregated 1886 tons. As compared
with the corresponding week last year this
- q gain of nearly three thousand tons 1t
Is expected that the volume will reach lOO.-
600 tons per week before the close of the
year, though it cannot go much higher than
that without straining the capacity of
every Eastern line. Already they are using
90 much of the equipment of their Western
connections that the latter are complaining
loudly. ALI the Western roads are short or
cars. They say they are compelled tofurnish
rolling stock for the transportation of grain
clear TO the sea-bosrd, and the Eastern lines
make very little effort to return the cars
promptly. The consequence Is that they
are suffering from q scarcity of cars. al
though they own sufficient equipment to
enablet henf to handle the business without
inconvenience If they could but keep the
cars on their OWE lines.
Shipments of -four. grain and provisions
from Chicago to the sea-board by the roads

during last week, to 1902 tons. against

A petition has been circulated
and very extensively signed, asking
the Western Union Telegraph Co., to
remove their Office from the depot to
some place in the town. AS it is now,
the operator in the depot is SO crow
ded with other work that he can not
give the Western Unions business
the atten ton that it requires, and as
a natural consequence, without any
fault of his, we get very poor service.
There has been several instances
where persons would receive tele-
grams announcing the death OF q rel
ative several days after the funeral,
and there have been lumber OF cas-
es where important kilograms have
been sent to business men here and
the first intimation they would have
of it would be by receiving Il letter
from the party stating that they had
sent telegram q certain day.
Now that the express office has
been removed from the depot, the
agent, Mr., Richison, who is an ex-
pert telegraph operator, could just
as well as not tend to the Western
Union business and the two togeth-
er would give him Il fair salary. We
hope that the company will make
the change in the near future. The
trifle extra that it will cost them
will be more than made up by the
extra business that they will get by
| the better service.

| Hunters and sportsmen complain
considerable that the county does
not offer q sufficient bounty for wolf
scaips in order to rid the county OF
them In a talk with an old hunter
the Other day he said that the wolves
were doing more to destroy deer than
the hunters were. 1t has been general
ly supposed the wolves ravageS were
mostly committed during cold wealth
en-, when deep snow brought on 81
desperate hunger. 1t appears from
the old hunters talk that the wolves
get in their deadly work to better adj
vantage in the summer. They Will,
of course, kill Il deer in deep snow,
but in the spring and summer, espe-
cially early, they attack the young
fawns and kill them by the score.
There is no doubt but what this will
eventually rid the country of it's oaaae
plentiful game, and it is claimed by
hunters that with the wolves out OF
the way they would stand the rava-
ges Of the hunter for years. At pres
ent the county Offers no bounty for a
Wolf scalp, and the small amount Of
fered by the state does not pay for
the trouble DIGGING after them. What
this county's hunters want is the
same bounty that is offered by neigh
boring counties, Ashland and Lincoln
