THE CITY COUNCIL.
Mayors Message on the Street
Railway, the Closing of Public
Wells and Other Matters
Considered.

The council met Tuesday night and
all the members were present with
the exception of Mr.. J. N. Miles.
The mayor transmitted message
relating to the extension of the street
railway as authorized by the various
amendments to the original ordi-
nance, and stated that as the ordi-
nance provides that the work "shall
be done under the supervision and
control ofan engineer and in conform
ity with instructions given by him."
and that the street railway officials
say that they desire to begin work in
few days, he would recommend
that some competent person who has
had experience in the construction of
railroads be employed to supervise
the work, and that this matter be re-
ferred to the proper committee with
authority to take such steps as will
protect the city's interests.
The message was accordingly re-
ferred to the street committee.
The following petitions for license
were read and referred to the license
committee: Hartstein Bros. for dry
goods and notion store; Mrs. Nora
Reagan for grocery; M. H. P. Will
liams, jr., for livery stable on Elk
alley.

and the matter was postponed until
next meeting.
A. w. Cromwell asked for rebate
of $3.50 taxes on lot on the South
Side enormously assessed and it was
granted.
Mr.. Watson moved that the city en-
gineer examine the public wells at
Mapping and Washington and Sec
ond and Shelby and report upon the
best method Of closing them. 1t was
adopted.
On motion of.Mr. Mcclure, the City
Treasurer was directed to assess and
collect the taxes on all property
which the assessor omitted to list this
year.
The mayor was requested to confer
with the superintendent of the Louis
vile & Nashville Railroad in regard
to the raising of the trestle at Broad
way and Wilkinson streets.
The council then adjourned, sub
ject to the call of the mayor in order
that prompt action be had on the
st. Clair Street Bridge report of En-
gineer Nelson, who failed to appear
at this meeting.

He Strangled.

Mr.. Will Choate went over in Belle
point Thursday morning and in re-
turning he walked up the river road
to point opposite Messrs. Choate &
Graham's mill. He concluded that
rather than walk around by the st.
Clair street bridge he would swim
the river. He took off his outer
clothing, made bundle of them and
started across, holding the bundle of
clothes in one hand above the water.
When about the middle of the river
he attempted to change the bundle
from one hand to the other and in
doing 80 swallowed a quantity of
water which strangled him and
caused him to come near drowning.
He managed to keep his head above
the water until one of the hands
from the mill could get to him with
a boat. He was very much exhaust
ed when he reached the shore. but
recovered in short time.

For the welfare Of the land.

That her genius now doth challenge
Suffrage for her proper pl ice.
The world has grown to need her.
Where, before the mother-rein,
And guiding hand OF woman
Was invasion of domain.
1t is but the wide extension
OF her help and judgment wise,
In affairs vast and perplexing,
That the greatest mind now tries.
She can help to solve these problems
On rocking chair or throne.
For she works by Intuition;
She has wisdom of Ler Own.

And men ere long beseech her
just to vote with them for right.

NEIGHBORHOOD NEWS.
Interesting Items From Various Points
in the County, Reported by Our
Staff of Correspondents
EAST BENTON.

Thursday afternoon OF last week,
thunder storm swept over our locality
accompanied by heavy gales of wind
and hail. A terrible downpour OF
rain caused great washouts along the
hill sides. Growing crops corn and
buckwheat were badly cut and in some
places nearly ruined by the hail. Hail
fell a. large as shucked walnuts. The
hail storm was particularly severe In a
line from Hamiline church to New
Columbus, travelling in south easterly
direction. During the storm lightning
struck Bowman Crawford's house near
BY Hamiline church. The electric cur
rent entered the hue, followed the
stove pipe into the stove, burst out the
islnglass. thence took its course to an
outside door. setting fire to window
curtains draping the floor, burning
patches of carpet in its line and char.
ring the edges of mopboards. The
top of the window facing was charred
from which the curtains were burned.
No one of the family was at home a,
the time of the storm. 1t was the mos,
severe storm OF the season for our To-
cality. 1t can hardly be said that the
drouth has yet been broken. We have
had light showers since and threaten:
storm all the while but the ground i:
yet dry.

Lehigh Valley and Reading,

On the subject of the restoration OF
the Lehigh Valley Railroad to its
original control the Wilkes Baife
Record has this to say: The annul-
ment of the lease between the Lehigh
Valley and the Reading companies
was brought about by the failure Of
the latter company to keep its money
engagements. and it is generally be
lieved it is for the best. 1t has been
known for some time that the Reading
could not keep the contract alive and
that the parting of the companies was
only question Of time. This being
recognized, the abrogation Of the lease
was an amicable proceeding and there
is no i'll feeling on either side. The
selection of John Lowber Welsh to be
receiver Of Reading in place Of Mr..
Wilbur is certainly advantageous to
that company. The Reading will en-
dearor to get on its feet financially by
looping off expenses and by getting
rid Of non.paying properties. The
friends of the Lehigh Valley are con-
fdent of the future Of that company,
but it is well known that 4 period OF
recuperation is before it. There is a
floating debt of some dimensions to
pay off, and it would not be surprising
if some Of the Lehigh Valley Coal
Co.'S assets and credits turned out less
valuable than they look on paper.
Dividends are believed to be out OF
the question for time as the coal
trade must be expected to be bad and
the iron ore and grain traffic on the
lakes will not be as remunerative rs
usual in the near future. Generally
speaking, the company is in good con-
dition. There is no car trust and the
company has large and profitable
coal, freight and passenger business.
The condition OF President Wilbur S
health has led to unconfii ned rumors
that he would resign. Mr.. Wilbur has
teen closely identified with the Packer
estate interest, which controls more
than 100000 shares of the Lehigh
Valley, or IS per cent of the out
standing stock. Mr.. Wilbur was
Judge Packers confidential man for
years before the latter's death, and he
is one of the executors of the estate
and manager of the Lehigh Univer-
sity and St. Lukes Hospital, the great
benefactions Of the late judge. The
only living representative of Judge
Packers family is Mrs. Charles H..
Cummings, whose interest in her
fathers property is now 100000 per
annum, she having signed off her right
to the greater income she was entitled
to under Judge Packers will when she
married Mr.. Cummings. The course
of president Wilbur, whose hold on
the estate is secure, has not been in
accordance with the wishes of Mrs.
Cummings, and he has alienated a
great many friends Of the Packer fam
lily, who are old holders of Lehigh
Valley stock. 1t has always been
held by these people that Mr.. Wilbur
made mistake when he made the
lease to the Reading Company. The
management of the estate and the
Lehigh Valley Company may be
question of interest in the future.

About forty Hungarians arrived in
town on Tuesday morning, with their
packs on their backs, and went out to
the new reservoir to work for the con-
tractors. In these hard times when
so many men are out of work, it is to
be regretted that this labor cannot be
performed by our own residents in
stead of paying money out to foreign.
ers who live on ten cents day, and
send most of it to the old country.
