SUBURBAN ORDINANCE
Was Up Before the Board Of Commits
sionerS, Yesterday.

The Proposed Measure Almost Per-
fected, but in the Afternoon Fur
ther Consideration Was Adjourn
ed Until Wednesday. at 2
O'Clock-The People Along the
Pike are enthusiastically in Favor
of the Extension Of the Road.
Other Business Transacted.
The Board OF Commissioners met in
regular monthly session, yesterday
morning, and in addition to transacting
the ordinary routine business coming
up from month TO month, spent a con-
siderable time in discussing and per-
fecting the ordinance submitted in the
interests of the Suburban Railroad Com
pany, under which that corporation.
which is now constructing its line from
Elm Grove TO the eastern end of Tria-
delphia town, will be empowered TO con-
tinue the work TO the State line at West
Alexander. The Board, as is we'll
known. went over the proposed extern
sion last Friday. when those interested
in the corporation explained in detail
their plans, described minutely the
route along the side of the pike propos-
ed to be taken, etc. The measure came
up yesterday morning, the Company be-
ing represented by Messrs. Paul 0. Rey-
mann, Engineer Gilmore Browne, and
Attorney George R. E. Gilchrist, and
there was a long discussion over the
several features, which was not con-
Guided when the hour for the noon re-
cess arrived. In the afternoon coDslG-
Grafton OF the measure was resumed,
and continued until about three o'clock.
when. on motion Of Mr. Robinson, fur
Their consideration was postponed until
Wednesday afternoon at 2 O'Clock. when
the Board will meet in special session.
The section under discussion when the
adjournment was taken, related 10 the
length of time within which the Com
pany is to complete the road and put it
in operation. The representatives of
the Company proposed clause giving
them two years after the acceptance Of
the ordinance to complete the road to
Roney's Point. and three years addi-
tional to complete the road from Roney's
Point to the State lire at West Alexan-
der. This limit does not. as a matter
of course. mean that anything like that
period would elapse before the compile
ton of either section of the road, but
was merely an ordinary business pre-
caution As matter of fact. the Com
pany commenced work within a week
after the passage OF the ordinance CIV
ing the right of way from Elm Grove
to Triadelphia, and will push the re-
mainder OF the line. under the additional
franchise now sought, with all due dill
ligence. Mr.. Robinson thought the
time limit was too long. and desired
restriction to three years for the COM
pletion of the entire road, while Mr..
Maxwell thought the presence of Pros
ecuting Attorney Howard would be de-
sirable. After some little talk upon the
matter, Mr.. Robinson moved to adjourn,
and it was carried.
The people out along the pike express
the hope that the road will be built as
soon as possible, as they ralize that it
would be a good thing not only for in
dividual travel. but as means of inn
proving the value OF real estate and
making the territory along the pike
more desirable for all purposes.

Your correspondent here has just re-
turned from trip to central Illinois
for the purpose of recreation, rest and
a visit to relatives. Our first stopping
place was Macon, town of about 1900
= inhabitants, situated in Macon county,
of which county Decatur is the county
seat. We were very much surprised to
see the beauty of the country. the fine
farms and elegant homes with all the
modern Improvements. We also Wis
tied Blue Mound and Decatur The
latter is one of the incest little cities
we have ever seen. 1t is situated on
the Sangamon river and is beautifully
located and contains about 25, 900 in
habitants. We have never seen so
many elegant private residences as is
principally corn; and such immense
quantities: it looks as if it could never
be consumed. But the farmers are be-
ginning to grow more wheat, and as
we looked from the car window we
could see a great many beautiful green
fields of growing wheat Taking
everything into consideration it is
fine country and we enjoyed it i'm
mensely. We almost forgot to say that
nearly every one we met was greatly
pleased with the result of the recent
election.

We sometimes hear it said that one
of the chief causes of social disturb

relieve the congested condition. These

a Correction.

AS Deputy Sheriff Jake Dye, of Mari
eta, who was summoned here yester-
day in the Unger larceny case, was
walking up Third street, last evening,
he happened to meet a man whom he
had been looking for since Nov. 18th
last. 1t was George Anderson, an oil
man with crooked propensities, who is
charged with robbing George McDon-
rel of s75 in Marietta on the date afore-
mentioned. Dye had given up all hope
of catching his man and was very much
elated over his lucky find. The priso-
uer was put in Jail here till his captor
was through testifying before Squire
Beckwith wheD Dye took him back to
Marie notwithstanding Journal.
The above does Mr.. Anderson some
what of an injustice The missing
money was in pocketbook which Mr..
Mcdonald gave to Mr.. Anderson to
take care of while the two were out on
little time. Before the night was
over the pocketbook was lost, but has
since been found by the owner, accord
ing to Mr.. Anderson's statement. The
matter was amicablY adjusted Tuesday
evening.

OOo-Economy VIII BE the Rule.

WASHINGTON, Dec. The sub-com-
mittec of the house committee on APP
preparations, in charge OF the legis-
lative, executive and judicial, bill, met
Tuesday at the capitol to work upon
the measure in advance of the rcas-
sembling of congress, They had be-
fore them the civil service commission
ers, the new commissioner Of internal
revenue, w. S. Forman,o of Illinois,
and several chiefs of the treasury de-
partment, who set forth the needs of
their several bureaus, The policy OF
the committee in regard TO uppropria-
tions was outlined by Hon. :. G. Can
non, chairman, who said to reporter
for the United Associated Presses:
"As published recently, the estimates
for Notifications amount to something
more than fifteen millions At the
last session of congress a new and i'm
portant departure was made with
reference to the manner of appropri-
ating for Notifications, by giving to
the secretary of war authority to enter
into contracts for material and labor
in constructing gun and mortar batter
les at the important por's on our sea
coast, to the amount of $1,000, ,000
Just what the department has done in
the way OF administration under this
authority has not yet been developed.
'The committee will probably be
enabled to complete the preparation of
the pension appropriation bill and re-
port it to the house on the first or sec
ond day of the coming session; and
they expect to have the Legislative bill
in condition to report by the middle or
last of the first week. The sub-com-
mittee on the pension bill will meet
Thursday morning next" tr
"What will be the policy of the com
mittee touching recommendation of
appropriations at this SESSION. was
asked.
The committee" Mr.. Cannon an
swercd, will no doubt recommend APP
preparations for an efficient public
service. The receipts of the govern
ment, however, are less than the ex-
penditurcs, and this deicit has been
and is being made up by borrowing
money at interest. AS long as this
situation continues the appropriations
ana expenditures should be held down
rigidly to the smallest aggregate com
patible with the efficiency of the public
ep,.vion -

Delegate Tanner, of Indiana, pre-
sented an amendment to that part of
Mr.. Smalley's resolution, which re-
ferred to the representation of the va
rious cities. Mr.. Tanners amendment
recommended representation accord
ing to the population of 1890, of cities
of 5000 and over, to be represented,

the uNceR CASES.
Warm Times in Justices Court at Park
ersburg,


PARKERsBURe, Dec. 2.-The cases
against and Moses and Peter Unger,
the junk dealers, were continued today
before Sustice Beckwith. The office
where the preliminary hearing was
held was crowded all Monday after
noon with oil men and curious specta-
tors. There was not much accomp-
lished after four o'clock, the most OF
the time being occupied by the law
yers, who contested every move OF
their opponents and lost no opportun-
ity of scoring each other.
Sessie Unger, daughter of Peter Un-
ger, was placed on the stand for the
defense. She testified to contracts
which she had heard made and other
things concerning the case. She and
Charlie Caldwell had the liveliest kind
of tilt and she held her own pretty
well-so well in fact that Charlie gave
up the cross examining in despair.
A big commotion was occasioned
when Jake Dye, the constable from
Marietta, who was summed in the case,
made the statement that Peter Unger
had taken up subscription among the
Hebrews of Marietta for the purpose
of purchasing bible and had appropri-
ated the money to his own use. Dye
held to his statement, however, in
spite of the storm which it raised.
The proceeding all yesterday after
noon-was tumultuous one and the
Justice had all he could do at times to
preserve order.
There was nothing to show that
Peter Unger, the father of the prisoner,
nor the prisoners son Marcus, was
connected with the stealing charged
against Marcus, and they were both
discharged from custody, and Moses
was allowed to go on his own recogni-
zance until this morning.
The bottom appears to have dropped
out of the case this morning. The
fingers made arrangements to settle
the civil amounts sued for in the civil
actions brought by Berry and Snyder
and this morning Moses was also dis,
charged from custody, the evidence not
being very strong against him.

Lanshaw & Co. completed fine and
very important we'll on the Amiss farm
on Long run Tuesday. The we'll is re-
ported to be good for 125 barrels per
day. The we'll is of great Importance
from the fact that beside greatly in
creasing the size of the Long run field
it opens up possible connection on the
Ohio side of the river with the Waverly
field. Oil men are greatly interested
in the strike and it is probable that a
number of test wells will be started in
the vicinity of the strike at once.
