SAY HE is A TYRANT
CAPT. THOMAS QUINN's ENGINE CON-
PANY PREFERS CHARGES.
City Attorney Holds that the Saloons
May Remain Open on Me-
mortal Day.

Thomas Quinn, captain of engine COM
pany No. /, will be called before the Board
of Public Safety. tomorrow night, to an
swer TO charges of incompetency and tyran-
nical treatment. The company is composed
of ID. A. Gresh, W. "A. Hinesley, j. +. Bar
low. s.. c. Hoyl. G. w. Diller and Walter
Ripley, and all of them join in making the
charges against the captain before Chief
Webster.
Captain Quinn has been a member of the
fire force for twenty years, and during the
greater portion of this time has served as
captain. This is the first time charges of
any kind have been preferred against him.
and his company is considered one of the
best in the city.
A number of the firemen are surprised
at the nature of the charges against Quinn
and cannot understand why he should be
accused OF either tyranny or incompetency.
He has held his present position under
three fire chiefs. He is one OF the surviv-
ors of the Bowen-Merrill disaster.

for Reeds arrest. met him and put him un-
der arrest. Reed acted very quietly and
Hughes did not think 1t necessary to put
the handouts on MIN. The two started

LegaIiring u Consolidation.

On June 6 the stockholders of the Chicago
e. Eastern Illinois will hold their annual
meeting and also vote on the question of
consolidating the Chicago & Eastern Illinois
and the Chicago & Indiana Coal road. A
stakeholder asks what advantage can ac-
crue TO the stockholders Of the Chicago G.
Eastern Illinois il a majority votes in favor
OF the proposition. The facts in the case
are that the vote only effects an actual con-
solidation where a virtual consolidation has
previously existed. In February, 1889, the
Chicago & Eastern Illinois absorbed all the
stock of the Chicago & Indiana Coal rQad,
placing the stock in trust for the benefit of
Chicago & Eastern Illinois stock and bond
holders. and in May, 1892, leased the Chica-
60 & Indiana Coal road for 999 years. guar
anteeing the interest on the Chicago 4 In
diana Coal roads bonds. The action which
the stockholders are now asked to take Is
simply formal. and for the purpose solely,
II Is stated Of consolidating the two proper
ties to save expenses in operation, etc. A
gentleman, we'll informed regarding the
roads, says IL is too late now 10 question the
advisability Of the action, as the merits of
the proposition were decided on before the
Chicago q Eastern Illinois guaranteed the
interest on the bonds of the coal road. AS
yet Ii has not proven a very profitable move
for the Chicago q Eastern Illinois, but
promises we'll in the future.

SALOONS WILL BE OPEN.
City Attorney Thinks Memorial Day
a Hnlf-Wax Holiday.

The saloons will remain open to-day. Su-
perintendent Powell asked for IN opinion
from the city attorney as to whether the
police could compel the saloons to close
The city attorney examined the statute
making Memorial day a legal holiday, and
is of the opinion that it is not a legal holt
day save as it applies to commercial paper.
This opinion is based upon the fact that
the act of 1891, which amended an act of
1875, contains in the title no reference to
the day in any other respect than as re-
CARDS commercial paper. He also found a
indictment for a violation of the liquor
laws under a former statute, declaring a
legal holiday as regards commercial pa
per, and in which the court held that the
day was not a legal holiday within the
LIQUOR statute.

For the Library

The children Give a Big Entertain IA . N {
For the Library.
All the children of Potwin, and the
chiIdren's parents turned out last even
ing and attended the entertainment
given by the children at the school house
for the benefit of the school library fund.
Potwin now has a good school library,
which has been provided by special
tax levy of about 500 year, being
raised for that purpose. The proceeds
added to this fund, and new books will
be purchased.
Two hundred and fifty-eight paid adj
missions were collected at the door,
which adds $3.50 to the library fund
The two upper rooms of the school
building had been thrown into one for
the occasion and stage was erected at
the east end of the two rooms, where the
programme of sixteen numbers was
given
There are 225 scholars in the Potwin
schools and each scholar had a place on
the programme, which was arranged and
conducted under the management of
Principal Miss Ella lTagIe and the three
teachers. Misses Eva L Rankin, Kittie
HukeI and Matte Dugan.
The first number on the programme
was May song by the school, which was
followed by concert recitation by the
girls of the fifth and sixth grades.
Then came a concert recitation by the
pupils of the Third and Fourth grades
and an expression drill by the little peo-
pie of the primary department. Ethel
Lane sang a solo and Terrence Ewart
gave defamation entitled Liberty and
Union"
The scholars of the Third and Fourth
grades gave number on the programme
which was entitled sold Fashioned
Games" The boys of the Fifth and
Sixth grades gave a concert recitation
and 1.-THE Song of the Dandelion" was
very prettily sung by the primary
scholars.
Edith Gregory gave "The Clown Baby
Recitation"an The 'Col1oquy of Nations
was presented by the girls of the Seventh
and Eighth grades
The athletic part of the programme
was given by the boys of the seventh and
eighth grades who went through drill
with dumb bells.
The Gypsies' festival was followed by
violin solo by Libby Gregory and
then came what most of the audience
conceded was the best thing on the en-
tire programme. 1t was recitation en-
titled ''Do They Miss Me" by little Bes-
sic Tincher, aged five.
The entertainment closed with "The
Fairies March" by the scholars of the
third and fourth grades.
