TO RE-FLOoR THE BRIDGE.
The City Clerk VIII Advertise for Bid
at Once.

Once.
The city clerk was instructed by thu
council to advertise for bids for lumber
for the Kansas avenue bridge. Three
kinds of lumber will be included in the
advertisement-white oak, white pine
and yellow pine.
1t is generally understood that the
new floor will be laid on top of the pres
ent floor, but it has not yet been decided
whether it will be put down cross wise
or lengthwise.
Councilman Burgess thought it might
be a good plan to put an iron shoe down
for the wagons to run on and to save the
floor and his plan will be considered
City Engineer Barnes submitted two
estimates. One for pine flooring,
amounting to $711.03, and the other for
white oak. amounting to $1,035.72.

AN OLD TIME WAY
OF Settling a Family Quarrel by Smash
Ing the Furniture.

OF "settIing'' a Family Quarrel by Smash
Ing the Furniture.
There was trouble in George Buckner's
household last night The household is
located near Crane street and Kansas
avenue. Buckner is a colored young
man who married "Eller Jerden," daugh-
ser of Ben Jordan. George got mad at
Ella last night because she hadn't flu
ished walking on Quincy street by 10
o'clock, and he went out and captured
her.
When he got her home Buckner piled
all of their furniture and other goods
and chatteIs in the center of the floor,
and then undertook to demolish them
with an axe. His wife had him arrested,
but by court time this morning she had
relented and didn't want to prosecute
him. Judge Ferry said it was too late to
withdraw the charge, and after learning
the nature of the offense, Buckner was
fined $40. His wife will probably pay it.

Council Chamber Monday Night.
Mayor Fellows, at the solicitation of
Tom Richardson of Galveston has
issued invitations to $50 of the leading
citizens of Topeka to meet Monday
evening at the council chamber for the
purpose of discussing the proposed deep
water conference in Topeka October 1.
Mr.. Richardson says that it is not true
that the conference which is to be held
in this city is a Galveston affair. He
says that the entire west is interested and
that the question is how to reach the
markets with the cheapest rates IRE
spective of the location of the market.
The city council is taking considerable
interest in the coming conference and
the committee appointed last night by
Mayor Fellows will have charge of the
details of the arrangements.

Talking of the rumor that the Santa
Fe is hereafter to be known as the Chi

the name will fail because, after it is or
ganzsd no one will pay any attention to
it. In Kansas the Santa Fe is the Santa
Fe, and it was in the beginning and shall
be ever after. To try to change it would
be like blotting out sweetheart's name

GILBERT MUST HANG.
Death Sentence Imposed Upon the
Murderer of Alice Sterling.
He Will Be Hanged. Feb. 2i-Prisoner Un
moved by Sentence.

Boston, Dec. 15.-Angus j. Gilbert
who murdered Alice Sterling, 12-year-
old Roxbury girl, last spring, was Satur-
day sentenced by Judge Dunbar to be
hanged on Friday, Feb 2l, 1896.
Gilbert's counsel, when the case was
called, moved for new trial on technical
grounds, but the motion was denied and
sentence followed. Nothing can now pre-
vent its execution but executive Glenn
ency. The prisoner was unmoved at the
words of the judge, maintaining the same
indifference to his position that has pre-
viously marked his conduct since his ar.
rest.
The crime for which Gilbert is to pay
the penalty was one Of the most startling
in the history of New England. On April
10, Alice Sterling, IL years of age daughter
of a respected citizen OF the Sayin Hill
district, disappeared and later her body,
hacked and mutilated almost beyond rec
ognition, was found buried head down
ward in q composite heap in the cellar OF
n barn on an estate where Gilbert was en-
ployed.
AT the trial, which lasted five days, it
was disclosed that Gilbert, great friend
with his victim, had enticed her from her
home, assaulted and murdered her and
buried the body where it was found. The
jury in the case returned verdict of
guilty in the first degree on June 20. Ex-
ceptions were taken, and on Nov II the
case was argued before the supreme court.
The court took five weeks to consider the
exceptions and then overruled them.

sea the value of the new road, for they are
paid as much for their potatoes at their

A special meeting of the city govern
ment VIII he held, this evening, to take
action on the petition which was numer-
ously signed, asking that II brick school
house be erected on Lincoln avenue in
stead of repairing the wooden one which
was recently damaged by fire. There Is a
divided opinion among the citizens of
Gardiner regarding the aivisability of
erecting brick building. Those in favor
OF the project say that with the number of
school children in Gardiner steadily in
creasing, ii modern and much larger build
ing should be constructed. Those opposed
claim that 1t would require at least three
months to erect brick building, and that
the old one can be repaired and he in "a
condition for occupancy inside of six
weeks. They also contend that Lincoln
street Is not the suitable place for Il brick
schoolhousc, giving as n reason that, as any
of the pupils attending this school are un-
der 10 years of age, the danger of being
run over by teams Is something great.
They say that if such structure becomes
"a reality, most secluded spot should be
chosen They mention the lot at the cor
ner of Pllmmcr and Liberty streets and
the one at the corner of Dresden avenue
and Kingsburv street as being very desir-
able places for brick building. But the
latter is in Ward 3, and not in Ward )
