Track Removed from Union Avenue.
For some reason that ras not been eX
planned the Bridge and Terminal Railway
company has been quietly AT work removing
the rails and ties laid down on Union avenue
last year. The work was finished yesterday.
The piece of track removed was that which
was laid on the avenue as far up Fifth
avenue, when track laying was stopped by
tho city attorney securing an injunction re-
straining the company from further track
laying until its taxes had been paid. The
removal of the piece of track leaves the
company with nothing to show for it's fran
chise on Union avenue but the Injunction
which has never been dissolved.
A possible explanation is found in the
fact that the Terminal company is engaged
in constructing a piece of track along the
river front from its bridge for the use of
the government in hauling material to com
plete the riprap work on the Iowa side of
the river 1t is possible that the Union
avenue material will be used in the con-
struction of this track.

In MemOrian.

William H. Bowers, died at his
home in North Martinsburg, at 7 p.
m, Friday, July "a, 1896, aged SO
years.
Mr.. Bowers leaves a wife and seven
children to mourn his loss. He was
a devoted brother. an afectionate
husband and a loving friend. His
guileless heart, his kindness, his
sympathy, his sunny nature; full of
fun and innocence, and his goodwill
for all drew him host of friends.
Life was sweet to him, but as soon as
he heard the angels whisper, come. "
without m urmur and with a smile
on his face, he followed their fight
heavenward, guided by the glittering
light of their bright wings, straight
to the golden gates left ajar for one
more one loved one to enter. The
sympathy of the neighborhood drifted
toward the Dereaved family, crushed
by their new sorrow. The floral
tributes were most beautiful in de-
sign and were SO numerous that the
coffin was covered with pure white
flowers, emblematic of the life of the
dear one hidden beneath their snowy
petals.
Farewell, dear husband, sweet thy rest,
Weary with years and worn with pain
Farewell, till in some happy plane,
We shall meet with thee again.
We miss thy kind and willing hand,
| Thy fond and earnest care;
Our home is dark without thee,
We miss thee everywhere.

and all were scooped by the police
