City Must Pay interest in the
Wagner Litigation.
APPELLATE COURT 80 RULES.

JadGe BiGsloW's Decision Reversed - "a
An Incidental Claims Growing Out Of
the Water Meter Case - The Proceed
InEs.
The appellate court at Ottawa
has reversed the decision of Judge
Bigelow given last January in the
case Of the city of Rock Island for
damages growing out Of the water
meter litigation against George Wag-
ner. proprietor of the Atlantic brew
cry. The suit was one for damages
as a result of the original suit of the
city against Mr.. Wagner for back
water rent, which it won in the su-
preme court. and such damages in
cluded attorneys fees. amounting to
900. together with 1886 interest
on the amount due. etc. This case
was heard before Judge Bigelow last
January. City Attorney j. L. Haas
appearing for the city and Adair
Peasants for Mr.. Wagner. Judge
Bigelow ruled against the city in all
points except as to the question OF
interest. which he decided in the
city's favor. On this an appeal was
taken to the appellate court, which
decides against the city on the sim.
pie point that the city having &C.
cepted the principal from Wagner.
the interest, like a shadow vanishes
with the substance, and that much
the city cannot recover. Accord
ingly, unless further proceedings
are begun for the $1,000 additional
attorneys fees allowed the city
attorney, the city must be satisfied
with the recovery of the principal.
History Of the Litigation.
The litigation between the city
and MIR. Wagner originally grew out
of the water meter ordinance, under
which Mr.. Wagner refused to pay
to the city the amount so indi.
Gated, and an attempt to secure an in.
junction restraining the city from
cutting off the water supply to bis
brewery in view of his refusal opened
the proceedings which we're carried
to the supreme court in which the
city finally won. The suit was
started at the January term. 1899,
and was decided in 1898. Having
lost, Mr.. Wagner promptly paid the
amount Of the principal, $4,000, into
the city treasury, his point being to
test the legality of the ordinance
rather than refusal to liquidate al
the city's demand.

The home of Mrs. Vina Gale in

Chief Etzel and Officer Miller on the
strength of q warrant issued by Mag
istrate Schroeder at the instigation
of Mclntyre-Reck company, who had
every reason to believe q mink
boa suddenly disappearing from their
store Saturday evening was concealed
therein. And their suspicious were
well founded. Mrs. Gale explained
that her 12-year-old daughter
brought the boa home Saturday
evening, claiming she found it on
Second avenue. The girl also told
the officers that she found the gar
ment. The boa was returned to Nc
Intyre-Reck company. No arrests
yet.
As to the baby.
The police have thus far been un-
able to ascertain information leading
to the apprehension of the heartless
parties who left the infant found in
the Eighteenth street alley Friday
night. The child is now in the pos
session of Poormaster Lidders. who
has received numerous applications
from kindly disposed people desiring
to adopt it. Several clews concern
ing the child's parents investigated by
the police have thrown no new light
on the matter. and it is just probable
that the little one belongs to one of
the surrounding cities. The investi-

Harry A. March Tells How They I'M
Pressed Him When he Began
Newspaper Work Here.

Harry A. March, now of Alliance, who
began his journalistic work upon the re-
portorial staff of the News-Democrat q
couple of years ago, has an artioe in the
September number of the Rural Press on
work. In recounting the hindranoes to
the young reporter, MIR. March gives some
of his impressions formed in this city, as
follows;
1.-THE first hindrance to success is the
common marshal, or policeman. Among
other assignments on my first route was
the police headquarters and mayors court
1t was easy through cigars and similar
delicaoies to become we'll acquainted with
the coppers. 1t was surprising to learn
that their greatest thirst, and they have
several, was for glory. They constantly
ssrove to impress upon the youthful re-
porter that they were "the people," the
only ones who made arrests who did
brave deeds, whom the criminal classes
feared, and in whom the mayor had con-
fidenoe. 1t would never be thought that
they were the peoples servants, but, in
stead, that they were the sovereigns of
the earth, before whom all should bow
the knee In reverence, Neglect TO give
them the credit for an arrest, and you lose
their friendship. 1t was my misfortune
to incur the everlasting enmity of a
young "copper" whose name was omitted
In an account of the arrest OF horse
thief. The policeman Is to himelf a
hero, and loves to recount the experiences
of years past, which, time and again ex-
list only in his excited imagination. :"

A COUNTRY ELoPEMENT.

Mrs. Raber, of Valley Junction, was in con-
sultation today with Marshal Reed regarding
the elopement of her daughter. She says the
girl is not Of age, and left some time ago with
John Blanche. AS there is nothing to show
the couple is now in Canton, the marshal is
powerless to act.
Since the above was written John Blanche
called at this Office and stated that there was
no elopement in the case at all. He says the
mother of the girl formerly lived here but she
packed up and moved away, deserting hei
daughter. The girl stayed with brother,
in.law. Blanche was travelling selling pictures
and he agreed to try and get the girl place to
work if he could. He says he succeeded and
she is now working in hotel. He does not
care to tell where, for he says the mother Of
the girl will go after her and make life mis-
erable for her.

den Wedding Celebration.

The home of Mr.. John Mack, of 247
East Tusoarawas street, was the scene of
a pleasant occasion yesterday. 1t was the
fiftieth anniversary of the marriage of Mr..
and Mrs Mack, and the children and
grandchildren gathered at the family resi-
denoe TO observe the day In quiet way.
The gathering was in the nature of sur
prise on the parents, who knew nothing
of 1t until their return from church,
when they were confronted by a large
company of their physical kin, who had
stealthily taken possession of the house.
A bounteous dinner was partaken of, after
which a congratulatory address was de-
liyered by Mr., G. A. Fries, and purse of
gold presented to tho oelebrants. In the
course of the afternoon, Rev. n. p. Her

uation.
The people of Canton, irrespective of party,
and especially the republicans are interested
in the political fortunes of Gov Mckinley as
regards the presidential nomination. Cath"
the well known correspondent, sent the fol-
lowing special to the Enquirer:
Governor McKinley's chances for the
presidency now equal the field. The Republ-
can leader In Maryland told me that the party
votes in the state were nearly all for him, He
will get three of the middle states at the out
set and New York and New Jersey soon after.
He is as much favorite in New England as
anybody; with Ohio, Michigan, Kansas, Ne
braska, Missouri, and large following and
probably divided delegations from Illinois and
most of the remaining northwestern states and
friendly with all the other candidates, Nc
Kinley answers to the account of Judge Davey
of New York, that it will take all the field can
do to beat him.
"He comes along in the same channel which
floated to the presidential nomination Grant,
Hayes and Garfield, Ohio at the center, her
wishes representative. Harrison had his day
as an Ohio man, his competitors, Blaine, Win
dom and Allison, were virtually the same.
The race of Scotch-Irish, to which Mckinley
belongs. is also the race of Allison and Harri-
son. He was graduated in the county of
Senator Quay, at Meadville and his people live
about Somerset, Penn, among the Scotto-
Germans.
"The other candidates all have some awk-
ward disqualifcations. Allison as without an
organization or organizer; Harrison as a de-
feated third-termer, with conspiracies working
out his ends Reed as an untried executive
quality; Morton as an old dark horse will not
materialize; Mckinley has the position, the
proper age, the private character, the various
experience and the issue on which the repub-
ican now becomes the Whig party he made
and enforced. From the hour at Chicago in
1888, when he wrote and read the protective
and labor platform for Harrison to stand upon,
he was the father of the idea of that Admins.
tration. Harrison's preference was for more
sectional views and coercive policy. Reed
was the Earl of Stafford over parliamentary
legislation. Allison was mild and disciple
like on all the party subjects. Mckinley
worked undeviatingly on the lines Of revenue
incidental to manufactures.
"Mr Quay has become a student of his own
people in Pennsylvania. They are Mckinley
men. The Harrison underplot was buried
there fortnight ago. The Reed canvass will
hardly extend beyond New England, the
Morton canvass beyond New York and the
Allison canvass beyond Iowa"
