were never more welcome than last night,
for the only draw back to the whole affair
was the scarcity of dancing men. Those

Tower, DIR. Calder, Mr.. Don Miller and
Mr.. Hayes from Providence.

TONY FARRELL'S PLAY.
The Well Known Irish Comedian to Appear
at the Opera Heuse.

The Well Known Irish Comedian to Appear
at the Opera Hsuse.
The play of oGarry Owen" is too well
known to require any comment and was
successfully produced here to large houses
last season. Mr.. Farrell has intended to
take the play of on two occasions, but 1t
has been so popular card with the various
managements that he still retains 1t. This
is its third season and IL Is no less popular
than when first produced. Following Is
the criticism of the New York Sun:
"The Grand was packed last night with
an enthusiastic audience, people, being
turned away, the play being Tony Farrells
presentation of Murphy O'Hea's comedy
drama, Garry Owen The Garry Owen
of Tony Farrell Is an artistic piece Of work
suggestive of Captain Letterblair as por-
trayed by 4. II. Sothern. He has sur
rounded himself with a good company,
almost every member being a vocalist OF
more than ordinary merit. Garry Owen
is goodlooking, graceful young man who
would gaIvanize into some semblance OF
life, almost any kind of young Irishman
and at last nights performances, clearly
had the sympathy of his audience. Tony
Farrell Is comedian of unusual merit, his
singing captivated the audience. We
pronounce great success for Mr.. Farrell
and his play"
The play will be given the remainder OF
the week, beginning Thursday.

IS HELD FOR AMUSEMENT.
CASE AGAINST POST PUBLISHING
COMPANY FOR LIBEL HEARD.
Rev. Mr.. Porter's Attorneys Believe the State
ments Published We're Very ubeIous.

The case Of Rev. j. Leech Porter against
the Post Publishing Company for alleged
libel was heard on demurrer In the Appel
Late Court before Judges Matteson and
Stiness this morning. j. Osfield, Jr., and
Charles A. Wilson appeared for the plain
Tiff and Rathbone Gardner and T. p. Barn
field for the defendant.
The plea for the defence was made by
Rathbone Gardner, who claimed that the
words used were not libelous and the
plaintiffs inunendoes were unreasonable.
Rev. Mr.. Porter was not a private charac-
ter and to certain extent was open to
criticism.
Charles A. Wilson argued the case for
the plain tiff and claimed that thu article
was extremely nbelous and had worked
great harm for the minister, affecting his
standing in the community and further
that the article showed on its face that 1t
was written to injure the minister.
After hearing the arguments the judges
held the case for advisement.

JOINT COMMITTEE ON STREET
LIGHTS TO PRESENT REPORT.
Mr.. Jude Taylor rendered His Resignation
Today as Sinking Fund Commissioner.

Both branches of the City Council will
meet this evening, the Board Of Aldermen
in regular session and the Common Coun-

however, as II there would be no joint
convention for the election of city officers.
The Committee of Street Lights will pre-
sent report of the conferences with the
Pawtucket Electric Company relative to
lighting the streets Of the city and 1t Is
possible, although not probable, that con-
tract will be entered into with this cor
poration.

Mayor Davis this morning received the
resignation of Mr.. Jude Taylor as men,
ber of the Sinking Fund Commission. Mr..
Taylor has been a member of the commits
sion for the past six years, but did not
qualify for the position last year, his COM
mission still being in the hands OF the
City Clerk.
Mr.. Taylor's reason for resigning is the
inability to attend to the duties OF the
office. His successor will probably be Mr..
Il. A. Perrin.

Running the Fast Express" is the
title of an article by George Ethelbert
Walsh in St. Nicholas. Mr.. Walsh
says:
The engineer comes down to his post
of duty nearly an hour before his train
is scheduled to leave. All night long
in the round-house the engine has been
carefully watched; a wiper has spent
the whole night rubbing down the pant
ing, snorting iron horse, until every rod
and cylinder shines like gold or silver;
the banked fire has been kept going,
so that little steam has been always
in the boxes; and before he left at night
the fireman put everything in perfect
order inside the cab. The fireman ap-
pears first in the morning and inspects
the work of the round-house men; and
If any part is not satisfactory, he makes
it so. The engineer makes his inspec-
ton after the fireman, and thoroughly
and carefully examines every part. All
the bearings are them oiled, and the oil.
| cups are filled with oil. Next, the en-
gine is run out of the round-house
| and tested Fifteen minutes before
the time to start, the engine is coupled
| to the train, and the steam and air.
brakes are tested.
No race-horse was ever brought to
his post better fitted for running the
course than is the locomotive of the
fast express. In addition to the tests
already made, mechanic goes from
wheel to wheel. and upon every one
strikes n sharp. resounding blow. to
ascertain If the wheel and axle are
sound. Nuts and bolts are examined

DOW TAX SOON DUE.

Lien Against Real Estate if Not Paid

On the fourth Monday of this month,
being the 22d day, the Dow tax for the
second half of the present year be-

do not intend to continue in the busi-
ness must close their places before that
date to escape liability for six months

Considerable confusion has been oc-

becomes due and claiming that thev
had intended quitting, but understood
that they had right to continue busi-
ness until the last day upon which the
tax could be legally paid, which in the
present case is December 20
Under the law the tax becomes a
lien on the property in which the liq'
uor business is conducted on the first
day the tax is due, and if the dealer
closes his business after that time
without having paid the tax the rea!

THAT LONG DISTANCE LINE.
The Electric Rond Between Parkersburs
and Marietta.


and Marietta.
The long distance electric railway to
be built between here and Williams
town by the recently Incorporated and
organized Parkersburg Il Marietta
Traction Company, is sure enough go
and an enterprise that will be begun
and, moreover, completed by the be-
ginning of next summer anyway.
The business men who are associated
together to build the road are men OF
means, ability, and influence. They
are sincere in their undertaking and
believe that the enterprise will be one
that will, in time, pay very largely.
A gentleman who is conyersant with
electrical construction, whose name we
withhold at his own request said today:
"It is almost always the case that long
distance electric railroads pay. Some
of the smaller lines in small towns go
under now and then, but believe that
long distance lines generally pay large
dividends. The line between Mounds
Vile and Wheeling when partly con-
structed went into the hands OF a re-
ceiver. Additional bonds were disposed
of, the line completed, and since its
completion has paid off its bonded
indebtedness and is paying fair divi-
! dends."
What does it usually cost to build
one mile of electric railway" inquired
the reporter.
Counting everything-power house,
dynamoes, rails, roadbed, poles and
rolling stock, etc.-The cost of mile
is estimated at $4,000. That includes
everything"
Capt. Ben Pope. President of the
company. is one of it's enthusiastic pro-
motors. He says the road will be built
right away.
The committee on rights of way and
survey will start out this week. Over
half OF the rights of way have been
promised and only remain to be legally
secured.
The road will not be built along the
public highway, only where it is neces-
sary to cross and recross, but will be
built through private lands. The
route will be the shortest and the most
practical and the work of actual con-
struction will be begun as soon as the
weather permits.
A half hour service is contemplated
and the whole scheme will be pushed
through to completion as rapidly as
posi- ible. le.-Parkersburg Journal
