Residents of North High street have
been much annoyed by the carelessness
of the gang of men engaged in cutting
across the street. They in blasting make
no effort to prevent stones from being
thrown broadcast in that vicinity. In
one case piece of rock larger than a
mans head was thrown over Captain
Cores house into Captain Carson's door
yard. Another large piece Lit into Mr..
Downham's yard, and DR.. Fullerton's
premises have received its share of pro-
jectiles. The Mayor directed that greater
care should be used, but no attention
has been paid to his orders. There are
plenty OF ties on the ground which could
be readily used to cover the blasts, and
the foreman should be compelled to use
them. Otherwise perhaps an arrest
would be in order. Certain it is that the
lives and property of citizens in that
neighborhood should be afforded better
protection.

THE WRONG MAN.
Squire Altman, Of Mt. Orch, Gets Two
Bullets Which John Jones In.
tended for Abe Wisby.

Some excitement was caused on the
streets Thursday morning by reports
which reached here of shooting scrape
and lynching party at Mt. Oreb. 1t was
learned later. however, that the reports
of rioting and mob violence we're exag-
Grated, but that shooting afray had
taken place in which Squire Altman, a
prominent citizen, was seriously wound
ed. The shooting was done by man
named John Jones, and the victim,
Squire Altman, received the bullets in.
tended for Abe Wisby, another resident
of the place.
There has been bad blood between
Wisby and Jones for some time; dating
back to two years ago, when Wisby'i
daughter married Jones' son, and trouble
has been expected between the two TO,
several months. On Monday night the
sons of the two men INDUCED in a fight
and this served to bring the trouble to 9
head. On Tuesday morning, Wisby and
Squire Altman were sitting in the store
when Jones entered and, with an oath
began shooting at Wisby, who sprane
behind Altman for protection, 80 that
the latter received two of the bullets
Excitement ran high for awhile and
threats of lynching were freely made
but calmer counsel prevailed and the
officers were allowed to put Jones in the
village calaboose without interference
The doctors give hopes of Squire Alt
mans recovery but the unknown loca.
tion of one of the bullets makes i
doubtful.

North High Street Bridge.

The wagon.bed like structure that
now spans the railroad cut on North
High street should be torn away and an
appropriation made by Council for the
erection Of suitable building and this
relic Of "ye olden time" placed on exhi.
bition therein, that the present genera.
ton might not forget and that future
generations might have an opportunity
Of learning something Of the extent of
the skillfulness possessed by our
forefathers in bridge building. 1t must
not be forgotten that in those days iron
as material in bridge construction was
comparatively unknown, and the rude
implements and material then used in
such work are equally unknown now.
Taking into consideration the meager
knowledge Of architecture, material then
ordinarily used, and the primitive char.
acter of the tools then usually employed
in such work, with all due respect to
those sturdy men who cleared away the
forest and laid out our beautiful town
site, we feel constrained to say that they
did not give us an object of such utility,
permanence and beauty in design as was
possible in even their day and time.
Yet it could be made valuable object
lesson, connecting the past with the
present century and furnishing the lover
of the antique subject upon which his
soul might dwell with infinite pleasure
and delight, and would also show the
wonderful strides that have been made
in bridge building during the last
century, which would be matter OF
interest to our citizens generally.
If our worthy Town Council cannot,
for reasons of economy, act upon our
suggestion, they at least ought to see to
it that it is removed from its present
site and replaced by one of iron that
will be suitable and in keeping with the
one of like material to be erected on the
opposite side. Then with an iron
bridge the entire width of the street,
substantial and beautiful in design, and
the safe, convenient crossways for foot
passengers on each side, we will have
such an Improvement as this beautiful
street requires and every citizen of the
town has reason to expect. We hope
every member Of the Council will keep
his eagle eye upon this improvement
from it's inception to its completion,
as everyone interested in the prosperity
of the town earnestly desires that no
mistakes will be made in this extremely
important matter.

AN INGENIOUS INVENTION
Which Engineer Doner Has Worked
Out.

Mr.. Con Doner, the engineer of the
fire department, has just perfected and
attached to the engine under his charge
an appliance which not only makes the
fire department more efficient but will
undoubtedly gain for him name as an
ingenious inventor. In such cases as
that of the fire engine, when 1t is neces-
sary to get up steam in the shortest
possible time, some method of keeping
water in the boiler heated all the time
is very important. Mr.. Doner's inven-
tion is an entirely original apparatus for
this purpose. It consists of tube about
8 feet long and inches in diameter at
tached to the boiler in such way as
not to interfere in the least with the
rest of the machinery and apparently a
part of the engine as it was first built.
Inside this tube is an arrangement of
coiled pipes through which the water
circulates. The heat required is given
by a six foot gas burner from beneath.
This burner is adjusted in such a way
that the gas is automatically shut of
when the engine is moved.
By the use of this apparatus only a
quarter to halt minute is required to
get steam after the fire is lighted. The
advantage over the heaters now used is
in the small expense of running, neat
ness, convenience and price. The heat.
ers now used are nothing but stoves
with pipes running through them and
are cumbersome and awkward, besides
costing from 5000 to $3.50, while the new
ones can be put in at $50 or $75. The
expense of running will also be much
less and will amount to two or three
bushels Of coal per day, which in a cor
poration like Cincinnati would mean 6;
to rs bushels per day. 1t is now in sue
cessful operation at the engine house
and patents have been applied for.
