John Lanphar, Aged 81 and Feeble, Makes
Long Journey.

John Lanphar is domiciled with his
son on Exchange street after having
made long journey with the weight
of 81 years on his shoulders, and feeble
and tottering. He has come to spend
his remaining days with John Lanphar,
Jr. He came all the way from Tur-
botville, Pa.
Mr.. Lanphar, ST.. had expected to
meet his son in Chicago, but had neg
lected to notify him when he would
arrive, and when he found himself
alone in the great city, he broke down
and was unable to look after himself.
Officers Byrnes and Dreis took him in
custody and telegraphed his son here.
Saturday evening the latter went to
Chicago in response to the telegram
AID brought his father to Kenosha.
The police of Chicago feared that il
he was left alone that he would be
robbed. He had some money and
valuables with him.

The Case OF the Three Tramps Before
Slater has Complicated Situation.

The three tramps, Joseph Donavon,
F. Smith and Charles Hennessey, who
were arrested last week for assault and
battery upon several of the Sterling
employees, were brought before Justice
Slater this morning for trial, and a
queer trial it turned out to be. John
Gillotto, the complainant in the case,
when called upon for his testimony
went onto the stand and swore that
there had been no assault, that the
defendants had not touched him, or
words to about that effect.
When the tramps were first brought
up and the complaint was read to
them, they pleaded guilty. That
made mix up which put the justice in
very queer boat. On the one hand
he had the plea of guilty and on the
other came the testimony of the COM
planning witness that there had been
no assault. What was the justice to
do? He sat and pondered over the
case for some time. If he accepted
Gillotto's testimony he would have to
let them go. If he held them under
their plea of guilty he would have to
sentence them. He was in a predica-
ment. He could hold them under the
plea of guilty, but he had determined
to take testimony so as to be able to
determine from that what sort of a
sentence to impose. He couldn't i'm
pose any according to the testimony.
District Attorney Buckmaster was as
undecided as the justice concerning
what to do. When the justice asked
him for a recommendation he felt the
predicament and after reviewing the
situation made no recommendation,
but limited that if the tramps would
make themselves scarce he thought
they might be let go.
Justice Slater finally decided to hold
them under the plea of guilty and so
gave them fifteen days each at the jail.
The reason why Gillotto testified as
he did is alleged to have come from
the fact that he went to the jail to see
the tramps before their trial. Whether
they offered him inducements to keep
still or not is not known. but the out
come was snch that people are left to
make some deductions of their own.

WAUKEGAN MAN IN TROUBLE
He is Angered Because he is Refused
Credit While Drunk.

John Clark, a carpenter from Wau-
kegan, who has been working here
during the summer, came to trouble
while slightly off, Monday night. 1t
seems he asked John Gleichman, who
keeps a small grocery store on South
street west of the railway, to trust him
for some cigars. Mr.. Gleichman was
standing in front of his store and re-
fused to trust him, whereupon Clark
hauled off and struck him, knocking his
head through the window. Gleichman
came down town and swore out war
rant for Clark's arrest. He was found
in the west part Of the city at his
boarding house. He pleaded so hard to
be released that Gleichman agreed to
stop proceedings if he would pay all
costs. This Clark agreed to, but not
having the money left his bicycle as
security with Gleichman.

MILITIAMEN DROWNED.
Two Illinois Men Find watery Graves
Sunday Afternoon.

0uuUdy AAbSNuOOn.
Two members of the Illinois national
guard were drowned in Lake Michigan
off Camp Logan, the state rife range,
seven miles south of here Sunday after
noon. Their names are Alexander
Uebel, of company G and John Kehm,
of company X, first regiment. They
were camping in the woods near the
range. The men had used a sail boat
rented in Waukegan, and being on the
point of breaking camp, started to
return it. When about a mile and
half from shore strong gust OF wind
overturned the boat. The life saving
crew at Kenosha was telegraphed for,
but when it arrived it could find No
trace of the men. AS neither could
swim we'll, it is hardly possible that
they escaped drowning, though there
is chance of their having been picked
up by passing vessel. Their men were
in Kenosha last week, having sailed
up, and Captain Cameron warned them
to stay out of boat till they under
stood something about sailing

one of the Fiends Registers One on the
Finances of the Game.

No one wants to take the initiative
in forming football club this season.
This has been the fault in previous
seasons, and has always ended in the
club being run by clique, who, how
ever desirable from society point of
view, have acted as so much dead
weight to the concern. The brunt OF
the games have been borne by outside
players who, while receiving all the
hard knocks; have had very little else
fall to their portion. After the season
of '94 big balance was left over, as
was a smaller one from '95. OF last
year nothing is known. No financial
statement of these three seasons has
ever been made. Vague stories are
told about the money having been
given to the mythical athletic club
If so with whose permission, and why
were not the members of the teams
consulted? We have material for an
Al team in town, but we must have g
regular club organized with regular
officers and bylaws. x.

SPECIAL MEETING.
Money Short. SO Durkee Avenue will
Have to Wait.


A special meeting of the council was
called Monday night to take action in
the matter of macadamizing Durkee
avenue, and to have a better under
standing in regard to improving West
Main street.
With the exception of Aid. Weyhe
all the members of the council were
present.
1t was thought by most of the alder
men that too much money had been
used in fixing up West Main street
and that it was unnecessary to haul
away so much dirt and gravel as there
had been, SO the committee was in
tructed to go slow and remember the
depleted condition of the treasury and
finish the work on that street as cheap
" as possible. 1t was understood by
most of those present that the cost
outside of the curbing would only be
about 500 for filling the holes and
levelling off the gravel, but at the rate
the work was started it would cost
nearer $1,000, so halt was called.
In regard to matchmaking Durkee
avenue, the city engineer was asked
what the probable cost to the city
would be. He informed the council
that it would take about $1,000 for the
city's share of the work. Ut seems
the city stands all of the excavating.)
This would not include putting in a
culvert over Jerome creek.
The city clerk was asked how the
different funds stood. He read the
balances and showed that most of the
funds were short already, with the
possible exception of the license fund
which might over run some.
The city would have the use of the
10 per cent. retention fund which is
kept back for one year, but this would
only take care of about half of the
city's part, so the aldermen did not
know just what to do. Finally the
matter was laid over until the next
regular meeting. In the meantime
the aldermen will talk with the prop
erty owners on Durkee avenue, and
see what can be done about financing
the city's share of the work.
j. Niederprim's saloon license was
transferred to Washington Island for
Labor day.
The clerk informed the council that
notice of injury and damage had
been filed by Bridget Carney, who was
hurt Aug. /, by the detective walk
corner of Congress and South streets.
The mayor and council had an invi-
tation from Columbus, Ohio, to attend
meeting of the National Mayors and
Councilmen's association.
Council adjourned.

There is to be new path through
the north end of the park. Starting at
the fo1 of Prairie avenue and running
northeast, keeping in the shade as
much as possible and coming out at the
intersection of Church street and Park
avenue. 1t is expected that this will do
away with the unsightly cut off in the
northwest corner of the park and help
the appearance of the Congregational
