The action OF The Board Of Aldermen,
relative TO the Consolidated road, In
view of Che circumstances, wss In the
line OF striot enforcement Of the laws,
with due regard for the rights OF the
company as we'll as the public.
The attitude OF the Board in the High
School matter was entirely wrong, as
was admitted privately by two OF the
members who voted to concur with the
Common Council in making the appro-
priation. There is no doubt but what
actuated some of the members was the
desire to give the class Of '97 as msny
advantages as possible before the close
of their year; and while agreeing with
the criticism OF the Fifth Ward Alder
man, they declined to go the entire die
tance in refusing the appropriation.
The schedule submitted was q justi6ca-
tion for refusal. Important action was
taken by the Board in settling once and
for all def mite lines on Central avenue
one OF the main outlets 70 the State of
Massachusetts. This 10 as II should be,
a. the lines ought to be properly de-
fined before expensive buildings are
placed upon IL.
The structures made by Alderman
Thomas O'Brien upon the veto OF
Mayor Tiepke, relative to the Marie
vile water supply, was no doubt under
the circumstances entirely justified.
Dillon on Municipal Corporations is
excellent authority, but as the Alder
man well said, it was not written since
| the last election.

THE BOOM IN WHEAT.

Dilating upon the boom in the price
OF wheat, and the consequent result to
bread buyers, which was referred to by
the TRIBUNE In q recent issue, the New.
port Enterprise has the following CON-
ment: 1T is really refreshing to come
across paper that is not carried away
with tho idea that veal or woe TO the
country depends on the price farmers
are getting for their wheat. But the
top-notch has not yet been reached.
You just wait till the spcculators get
their innings. These willy, sharkish
gentlemen are just now lying low with
their weather eye on the market, and
90 soon as wheat or -four, or both, get
into shape so that they can handle 10,
they will swoop down on IL, create 9
corner, and mp she goes, dollar on 9
barrel for Aour, and an equal proper
Non for wheat. James r. Keene did
chat thing, once, and cleared five mil
lion dollars IN one deal, much OF which
came out Of the miserably poor-ths
rioh and well-to-do having been able
mose Of them, to have supply on hand

Ths9 N Unrs Fest.
Two brave young ladies'. the Mics
Emma and Genevievs Rich. surprised
robbers at work in the postofice at SAM
dy Lake early the other morning and
drove them on. but not until one Of the
burglars had been shot For some time
the postofiloes in that part Of Pennsyl-
vania have been the objects Of what Is
evidently an organized band Of cracks
men. Several big hauls have been made,
and men arrested and sent to Jail, but
without breaking up the gang.
The intrepid misses occupy a. room
over the Sandy Lake postoffice. They
are pretty, Of retiring disposition, and
popular in the place. Though they have
never been molested they always kept
q dainty revolver in the dresser, ''just
to make MS feel bit safer, you know, |"
they said today.
While they were sleeping peacefully
burglars pried their way into the post
office and started to work on the safe.
With small steel drill they bored q
hole through the safes door and filed
It with dynamite. The explosion was
not loud, but was sufficient to wake the
two girls.
"Why, what's thatr' whispered
Genevieve, as she pulled the coverlets
closer around her head and snusged up
to Emma.
"S-sh, Gen! Do you hear anything?"
"Oh. EN-, do you suppose it's-it's--
ohl What can it be?"
"Gen, / believe it's burglars I'm 60
ing to get up"
Suppose they doh, EN-! Don't you
dare to move. Do you think they'll
come up stairsI"
where's that pistol? I'm going
down. Come on" And two pair Of bare
feet struck the cold carpet at once. EN-
ma got tho revolver. Il seemed 20 big
and 30 fierce looking. Quietly they stole
out into the hallway. Two brave hearts
were humping, but the girls were de-
termined to prevent the robbery Of the
postoff1ce. Down stairs were two or
three desperate craoksmen. Two dainti-
ly white robed girls were pitting them
selves against awful odds.
A mouse could not have crawled down
those stairs easier. but one Of the rob-
bers happened to fash his bullseye
lantern that way. The light partly
blinded them, but Emma lifted her re-
volver and shot directly at the dark
form behind the light.
But those girls didn't tremble. They
cOuldn't Their shot was answered bv q
bullet from the robbers which few past
the girls heads Emma fired again,
and one of the burglars gave scream
of pain. They burst open the door and
ran.
"oh, Gen. do you suppose II killed
him?''
II don't know. Let's get dressed. +"
BY the time they were dressed the
aroused citizens Of the town had ar
rived. With both talking at once the
girls told what had happened.
A posse started after the robbers and
found house where one Of them had
stopped to get q wound in his leg dress
ed.
The girls are the heroes of the place.
A purse has been raised for them, and
congratulations are pouring in.
81 don't know how did it." said
Miss Emma II just couldn't help it,
could you, Gen?"
"No, but I don't want to do it again, I"
said Miss Genevieve, and the two girls
who saved the postoffice laughed. Phil.

TOUR ABOUT TOWN

The need of hospital in Pawtucket
was forcibly illustrated in the case OF
the recent suicide, in his case 40 it hap
pened a dozen hospitals would have
been of no avail but the fact that in the
cases which occur frequently the ride
to Providence cannot be OF any help to
the injured.
A resident Of the View says that q
tramp called at residence in that local
ity recently and after inquiring for the
lady of the house and discovering he
Was addressing her, said she looked 80
happy and independent he mistook her
for the hired girl.
The life led by theatrical people must
be, to put IL mildly at times, exciting.
Charles Ward was o much astonished
man on Wednesday evening to And
that, although he cou'd furnish bonds
to settle with one OF the Babies Of
the show, the amount OF salary she
claimed as soon AZ he had finished his
turn, he would not be allowed to do %,
but was compelled to leave the theatre.
The situation was made more embar-
RAISING by the fact that the servant
girl OF the play had gone to Providence
to celetrate, ss servants sometimes
will, and Ward was filing his part -
well ss his own. Regarding the merits
Of the case have nothing to say, but
IL would seem that the action OF the
parties who caused Ward the trouble
was extremely arbitrary.

CAPTAIN MURPHY HELD.

DAMAGING EVIDENCE AGAINST
THE LAURADA-A NUMBER OF
WITNESSES TESTIFY.
When the hearing in the Laurada
case was resumed at 2 o'clock Satur-
day afternoon, George Comfy, the sea-
man who gave such important evil
dence against the Laurada at the morn
ing session, was cross-examined by
Senator Gray, and Comfy said he could
not say whether the boat was inside Of
the three-mile limit OF not.
James Dixon. another seaman on the
Laurada, testified to seeing boxes and
other articles taken on board Of the
boat, and said implements of war, such
as cannons and rifles, were also taken
on board.
James S. French, a British customs
officer, was the next witness, and Sena-
tor Gray gave him the most rigid cross
examination of all the witnesses.
French said he asked Captain Murphey
if he carried passengers or arms, and
Murphey replied that he came in bal
last, which he found out afterwards
was untrue. He had the captain ar
rested and the vessel searched but
nothing was found contrary to law.
Several other witnesses were exam
ined, and then Senator Gray asked that
a certain day be set apart for a fur
ther hearing. The hearing was fixed
for October 10.

HEARTY GREETING.

If the Auditorium at Eleventh and
Madison streets possessed capacity for
20. 600 people instead of 5000, It would
not hold the Wilmington people who
will crowd out there this evening to
hear Hon w. ]. Bryan. the Democratic
nominee for the Presidency.
Everybody wants to go, and the 5000
or 1000 who are fortunate enough to
get into the building, will do so by
virtue Of reserved seat tickets, which
are few in number, or by diligence at
the main entrance. Those who cannot
get in will hear Mr.. Bryan for few
minutes, however, for he will make a
short address 20 the overflow from a
stand outside.
Everything is in readiness for Mr..
Bryan's reception. The Democratic
County Executive Committee has the
Auditorium properly fitted up for the
occasion, while the reception commit
tee Of the Young Mems Democratic
Club has made every possible provision
for Mr.. Bryan's personal comfort at
the Clayton House, where a suite OF
rooms has been secured.
This morning the subcommittee APP
pointed to escort Mr.. Bryan to VIII
mington, went down to Dover, and will
leave there at S.47 this afternoon. AZ

The body of an unknown white man
was found by Trackwalker William

surrounded by flowers on the other.
Coroner Dean, of Elkton, took charge
