The city Of Buffalo has an ordinance in
force which has done much to make that
city a model place of residence. 1t is to
the effect that no one shall be allowed to
carry firearms within the city limits.
Mayor 9. II. Burritt makes a point of see.
ing that the ordinance is enforced. For
the first offense a fine of $50 and costs OF
prosecution are collected. The result of
two years of the law has been to make
Buffalo as peaceful as a New England vii.
lage and make life absolutely safe. The
riVld enforcement of the ordinance has
placed several thousand dollars in the city
treasury, and now no cowboy starts foI
Buffalo from the surrounding country
without leaving his revolver at home.

THE TIADUCT TRO

The trouble about opening the Central
avenue viaduct for street car service, has
developed two very apparent facts. One
is hat the mayor of the city is determined
to see that ordinances framed to protect
the city's intetests shall be enforced, and
the other is that some of the members of
the city council are equally determined to
act when dealing with city business in ac-
cordance with the ordinances il they hap
pen to be suited with them and wholly
without reference to them if they are
not.
The Central avenue viaduct has been
constructed and will be paid for, not by
the street and alley committee OF the city
council, but by the general tax paying
citizens of the community. The cost in
interest charges alone to the community
will be $500 a month, to say nothing Ct
expenses for repairs. The primary OBJ
ject of the viaduct is not the convenience
of the street railway company, but the
convenience Of the public. This fact was
recognized by the city council, which au-
thorized the building OF the viaduct, in
the following ordinance which was adopted
in May, 1899:
Provided, however, that the city re-
serves the right to own and control the
street railroad track or tracks, as the case
may be. over the projected Central ave
nue. viaduct and over the projected Norrie
street viaduct and the city also reserves
the right to grant to any other company,
companies, person or persons operating a
street car line or lines, the right to use
the said street car track or tracks across
the said proposed viaducts, or either of
them. and: Provided, further, that the
said street car tracks across said viaducts
hall be constructed wholly at the expense
of the first COMPANY availing itself OF the
right of way over said viaducts, and
thereupon said tracks shall become the
property Of the city and shall be subject
to its CONTROL
If this ordinance is to be obeycd the
street car company desiring to use the
right of way across the viaduct should
pay or agree TO pay the charges provided
for in the ordinance and until they do
when they run their cars on the viaduct
they are trespasscrs and it is the duty Of
the mayor to stop the cars from running.
If the ordinance is not to be obeyed the
street car company should not be inter
fered with and the street and alley com
mittee should not be criticised for dispos-
ing of the viaduct in any manner its
chairman desires.

THE sALTLAKE CONVENTION

THE SALT LAKE CONVENTION
The convention to be held in Salt Lake
City next month to consider the irrigation
question will be an important one to the
West. Delegates from all of the states
and territories west of the Missouri river
will be present and the vital questions of
state ownership of public lands. national
reclamation of arid lands, storage of water
and other like matters will be discussed.
A united and intelligent request upon
the part of the West made to the next
congress OF the United States will do
much toward the adoption by the govern
ment of any plan likely to prove beneficial
to the West. 1t is important therefore.
hat each state and territory be repre-
scented in the convention by delegates who
have practical and ample knowledge of
the whole question of irrigation. 1t is
highly important that the Wyoming dele
CATION be composed OF such men and that
they have the ability and force to nave
their views OF what is best for the state
adopted by the convention. The future
growth of the state depends in a great
measure upon the iudicious treatment Of
the irrigation and ard land questions, and
the more emphatic and certain the wants
of the state Gamble shown the more GER
tain and speedy will be their attainment.

SILL A CELEBRATED CASE.
The Mystery Of the Edgar" Family
Again Under DIsenssIon.

Again Inder Discusston.
About one year ago an unknown man
died at the Getty House in Yonkers, n. Y,
under circumstances indicating suicide,
though it is barely possible it might have
been murder. A few weeks later a young
man, whom the coroner's jury decided to
be William Wright, committed suicide at
the Aston House in New York city, and
about the same time the corpse of an Eng
lishman named Ruttinger was found in
the water near the shore of Staten Island.
the hands being pinioned behind the back.
These facts were made known generally
at the time, and still remain nearly all that
is positively known Of the complication
which has lately been named 1.-THE Great
Edgar Mystery" The first clew, IL clew it
was, consisted in proof that William
Wright, the Astor House suicide, came
over from England in the same ship with
the murdered Ruttinger, that they formed
an intimate acquaintance on the voyage
and left New York together for New Jersey
not long before their deaths. There was
some evidence also to show that Wright
was penniless and desperate, and the con-
clusion was therefrom formed that he had
murdered his friend Ruttinger, and then,
disappointed at not getting any spoil, had
committed suicide.
In the meantime, however, one Perrin
H. Sumner had identified the Youkers sui
eide as ID George IL. Edgar" and an
English actress. Miss Gertrude Norman,
identified the Aston House suicide as his
nephew, George H Edgar" The coro-
ner's jury, however, rejected the story of
Miss Norman in toto, on sufficient grounds
as it seemed to them, and declared the
dead man to be William Wright. Also
when the corpse of the Yonkers suicide
was exhumed Mr.. Sumner withdrew his
Identification, declaring that the stature of
the corpse did not correspond with that of
his ID Edgar"
Miss Norman had suggested as a posi-
bility that the Astor House Edgar" had
in some way caused the death of his uncle
and committed suicide in remorse. She
claimed also that there was a third ed
gar" living, who could make it all clear IL
he would come forward and testify.
Things being in this shape, one Columbus
G~ottschalk, Esq, a lawyer at 234 Broad

A strange story of superstition comes
from one of the Russian provinces. Re
Gently the decayed corpse of a woman was
found in the Volga. 1t proved to be that
of a female who was drowned in the river
while drunk some four years ago. Her
children secured the remains and gave
them Christian burial. The police learned
that three residents of the village of
Kooromtcha where the woman was buried
bad disinterred the body and thrown it in
the river.
On account of the droughts and famine
that prevail the peasants have come to the
conclusion hat their misfortune was due to
the displeasure of the River Volga, which
had a legitimate claim to the body of the
woman drowned in its waters. The river
was wronged when her corpse was taken
out, and it avenged that wrong by droughts
and famine. They believed hat il they re-
stored the dead body to the Volga its
wrath would be appeased INK their trou-
bles would cease. The alderman of the
village and the three peasants who COR
mitted the superstitious act were sentence
to imprisonment for two to four month";
respectively.
