cIrY AFFAIRS.
A Few Remarks Anent the Electric Light
situation. ks

situation. ff f#
1t would seem that 1t was only neces-
sary to explain the situation to the
voters of Marietta to secure practi-
cally unanimous verdict in favor of
enlarging our electric light plant The
question of city ownership has been
settled, for certainly as long as the city
can furnish it's own street lights at
one half less than q private corporation
it will continue to do SO.
The growth of the city necessitates
more lights. The additions and suburbs
now built up and growing all the time
haye as much right to ask for light as
other parts of the city. Those who
| live on well lighted streets should not
forget that others living on less fav-
ored streets are as much entitled to
| light as they are Selfishness should
not be allowed to dictate course of
action for these well lighted lot owners.
The electric light plant is now taxed
to it's utmost capacity, not another
| light can be attached. The plant in
its present cramped quarters in the
City Hall is doing damage to the build
ing. When it was put there it was
| rever Intended that it should furnish
| light for the West Side, then known as
Harmar, but the annexation of Harmar
loaded the engine and boilers to their
utmost capacity.
The city now proposes to do what it
should have done in the first place,
build power house, and the necessary
expense of such building will have to
be borne to complete the plant
1t is proposed 10 purchase one more
engine and boiler and dynamo which,
added to those we have, will meet pres
ent necessities and the power house
will be of sufficient size to meet future
demands. The electric light plant
ought never to have been placed in the
City Hall building, and we only propose
to do now what should have been done
in the first place, give the electric
| lighting plant a home of its own.
This can be done without increasing
the taxes at all. The Council has been
expecting to enlarge the plant for
some time and was waiting for the
right time to begin operations. The
debt of $4,000 for the old plant has
been paid at the rate Of about 81, 600 a
year. and levy has been made each
year to raise this amount of money
This is the last year and the money is
now in the treasury TO pay the last
note which falls due on April 1st. so
that we can go on with the proposed
loan of S15 900 and paw next year 50, 900
on the same and So, 600 each year there
after without increasing our levy for
such purposes. S. j. II.

Good Thing for Members of the Ohio
Division l.. a. w.
The local members of the League of
American Wheelmen are rejoicing oyer
the fact that the long promised Road
Book of the Ohio Division has at last
arrived. This book is considered one
of the most complete of the kind eyer
issued 1t contains a map of each of
the lightweight counties of the state
and folding-map of the whole state,
together with descriptions of the roads
and distances, names of Local Consuls
and League Hotels. Ohio glass and tack
law, Ohio guide board law, bicycle bag
gage law, and vast amount of general
information that will prove of great
value to every wheelman, whether a
tourist or not 1t is handsomely bound
in flexible morocco leather and is of d
size convenient to carry in the pocket.
The Washington county map is a
particularly fine one, being the result
of exhaustive inquiry and search upon
the part of Prof. Thos. D. Biscoe, r. W..
Richardson and Chas. f. Henry. The
book is given free to the members of
the Ohio Division and will no doubt
prove the means of adding hundreds of
names TO the rolls of the Ohio Division.
Mr.. Alonzo Scott and Chas. Grafton,
the Local Consuls here, together with
Mr.. Chas. f. Henry, the District Repre-
sentative, are preparing for an active
campaign for new members.
The Leader heartily endorses the
movement whereby the cause of good
roads may be furthered, and will be
found ready at all times to assist any
practical efforts in that direction.
Information, application blanks etc. ,
may be had at any time from either of
the above named gentlemen.

ONE HOT DECEMBER DAY.

Its Memory Made Imperishabie by the
Death of John Brown.
This is the anniversary of the hot
test day | ever knew in winter" said the
old meteorological member, as the club
men came in, blowing their cold fingers
and stamping their chilled feet, says the
Utica Observer.
I'm what year?" asked a young men,
Der.
I'm the year 1859. The morning
opened cloudy and it looked like rain.
Then at about noon it cleared off and
the thermometer, which had indicated
a temperature of 20 degrees, suddenly
rose to about so degrees, at which it
remained all the rest of the day. Even
the night failed to bring relief, and dur
ing the evening it was curious to note
the citizens of Utica sitting by their
open windows, vainly striving for q
breath of fresh air."
But how do you remember so ex-
actly what took place so long ago?"
"By connecting it with an event of
historical interest which is not likely
ever to pass from my mind"
And what was it?"
THE hanging of old John Brown,
which took place at Charlestown, Va. Ct
is now Charlestown, W. Va.), on the
I'd day of December, 1850"

Railroad without Cars.

In the forest of Bridal Veil, Ore, not
far from the Dalles, there is rail
road which does business without cars
An article in the Northwestern Lun-
herman, describing the work of this
company, has a picture of train" on
the road, which consists of an ordinary
locomotive, such as are common on log
ging roads, and a string of logs, each
log being as large in diameter as the
boiler of the engine, or larger. Boards
are nailed to the slccpers between the
rails, and on these the logs slide. EX-
cept on descending grades, the boards
are CREASED, and the train moves at
good speed. Where the road is level
or slightly ascending, the engine pulls
the logs, and where it is descending it
holds them back. At the mills of this
company the manufactured lumber, re-
gardless of size, is run into a fume,
and this is carried about two miles to
the planning mill and shipping yard,
the tlume descending in that distance
about 200 feet.

his mind as to whether he will vote
for or against the ratification OF the
arbitration treaty said speaking of 1T;
after all there are two sides to this
question. Speaking generally of aroi-
tration, should not hesitate to say
that favored it, but specifically, am
not so sure about 1t. For instance,
had arbitration been applied to the
quarrel of the American Colonies with
England, and the decisive vote been
cast by Il monarch of Europe, do you
suppose there would today be any
United States?"

DRUMMER ROBBED.

George t. Bradford Loses sseo, Note
and n Gold Watch from Under His
Pillow.
CAIRO, W. VA, January 23.-George
Il. Bradford, drummer from Parkers-
burg, claims he was robbed here last
night of "a large sum of money. Brad
ford arrived here yesterday evening,
with the intention of remaining over
here until today. He repaired to the
Omega hotel on Front street, and en-
gagged room. The hotel was crowded
with oil operators and others, and
Bradford was assigned to the parlor
room. He placed his money, $500 in
cash, u $40 note and his gold watch
under his pillow, but forgot TO lock the
door. During the night some one en-
tered his room and distracted the val
uables from their hiding place. As
soon as he discovered his loss, Bradford
telegraphed the bank to stop payment
on the note. There is.no clue to the
thief, but Landlord TetriclS, of the
Omega, will make every effort to ferret
him out.

Mr.. EDITOR.

Mr.. EDITOR
Even from abroad come protests
against tearing down old landmarks in
Marietta. We haye an individuality
now which should be preserved and
not reduce us to the commonplaceness
of other small towns. Paved streets,
electric lights, etc, may be necessary
and convenient, but they are not
picturesque. They are everywhere,
and everywhere ugly. AS to new
High School occupying the site of old
st. Lul6e's, we may say first that the
High School lot is ample for a new
building Gas school of that grade
needs no grounds and would be con
sidered in Pittsburg or Cincinnati quite
large enough. Let us have St. Luke's
for 4 Library, or some public purpose;
and preserve the only bit Of unique
architecture in Marietta. Taxpayers,
too may justly resent buying an eX-
pensive lot when the School Board al
ready controls all that is necessary.
