County Supervisors Want Some Reforms.
Delegates from 10 counties gathered
at Lansing In response to a call by the
Ingham county supervisors for con-
vention to consider the advisability of
taking concerted action toward secur-
laws, the provisions of which are the
cause of needless expense to taxpayers.
A large range of subjects was discussed.
EX-Mayor Lawton Il. Hemans, of Ma
son, who has made n study of county
expenses, addressed the delegates, call
ing attention to the alarming manner
in which expenses have increased dur
ing recent years, this increase being
out of all proportion to that of wealth
or population. He attributed it all to
the fee system and urged its abol-
ishment.
The Legislative committee was in
structed to endeavor to secure the fol-
lowing reforms from the next legisla
ture: Taxation of property of railroads
and other corporations the same as
other property; repeal of law for col
lection of farm statistics; that supervis-
ors pay expert witnesses in INDECENT in
sane eases in lieu of statutory witness
fees; that mileage of officials be reduced
from 10 to cents a mile; reduction of
number of justice and constables in
cities and that salaries be paid instead of
fees; salaries for county officers, all fees
to go into county treasury; that three
fourths of jury constitute n verdict
in civil cases; making road commissions
ers subject to direction of supervisors
as to the expenditure of money, the
roads to be repaired and the material
used; also that the property adjacent
to roads improved be required TO pay
portion of the expenses on the basis of
benefits received; repeal of sparrow
bounty law; that circuit court jurors
be summoned by registered letters To
save mileage of deputy sheriffs; repeal
of law allowing extra pay TO prosecut-
ing attorneys in drain cases: that the
tax law be amended so as to make it
compulsory for assessors to swear each
property owner as to his possessions.
In case of failure to induce the next
legislature to abolish the fee system in
justice courts, it was decided that an
endeavor be made to have the laws
amended so that the prosecution az
drunlls and disorderlies in cities and
villages be made under the respective
charters.
y permanent organization was eff
fected to be known as the State Assoc
citation of Supervisors. The principal
objects are the discussion of matters
relating TO charges and expenses, and
securing a uniform practice of assess
ment. Each county board may send
two or more delegates TO the annual
meetings. The following officers were
elected for the ensuing year: President,
John w. Ewing, Grand Ledge; vice
presidents, Emmett l.. Beach, of Sagi-
nav, and w. II. Smith. of Grass Lake;
secretary, Frank L. Dodge, Lansing;
treasurer. Asa |. Barber, Mason.

Three Killed by Train at Saginaw.

Three Killed by Train at Saginaw.
Three persons met a sudden and vio-
lent death and a fourth was seriously
injured while crossing the Michigan
Central railroad tracks in sleigh at
Sheridan avenue, Saginaw. The dead
are: Thomas NJ. Stewart, a groceryman;
Mrs. Elizabeth Mossner, aged 20, of
Frankenmuth; Barbara Mossner aged
%, of Frankenmuth. The fourth oc-
cupant of the sleigh, Mrs. Elizabeth
Mahncl1e, also daughter of Mrs. Moss
ner, had her right leg broken in three
places, and probably received internal
injuries.
A passenger train from the east, run
ming at a rapid speed, struck the sleigh
as it was fairly on the tracks, cutting
it loose from the horse. leaving the
animal TO run down the street unin-
jured The sleigh was broken into
kindling wood.
Stewart was on his way to his store
from delivering goods, and the three
women had seated themselves in the
sleigh for a ride towards home, not
over 80 feet from the scene of the ac-
cident. Two boys stood near by and
saw the rig slowly approaching the
tracks and the rapidly moving train
bearing down upon it. They shouted
several times but the driver did not
catch the warnings. The four were
laughing as the sleigh and its occupants
overe sent whirling through the air.

MICHIGAN NEWS SUMMARY.
Doings of the Week Recorded in a
Brief Style.
CONCISE AND INTERESTING,
Gov. Pingree Wigs His Suit TO Compel
Railroads t6 Sell Family Mileage
Books at Gents per Mile - Triple
Railroad Fatality at Saginaw.
PIngree Wins a Notable Victory.

Gov. Pingree has won the first round
of his fight with the Michigan Central
Railroad Co. on the question of SEQ
mileage books, good for the family of
the purchaser. In the governors suit
TO compel the company to sell such
books, Judge Donovan, of the Wayne
circuit court, confirms the position
taken by Gov Pingree and grants a
mandamus to compel the railroads to
comply with the. mileage law of the
Legislature.
In his decision Judge Donovan dis
cusses the case at length. In answer
to the plea of the railroad company
that the right to fix charges was given
to the company by the charter, he in
dorses the contention of the complain
ant that the charter only gave the
right to fix rates by bylaws, and that
such bylaws must come under the po-
lice power, as with hackmen, millers,
liquor dealers and others doing public
business.
BY the word of the highest court in
like cases in Iowa, Wisconsin, Illinois
and Michigan, the conclusion is ire
Slstable that only such charges can be
collected as are allowed by the laws of
the state.
A Similar Case Against the Railroad.
Grove Wolcott, "A prominent lawyer
OF Jackson sought to purchase 1000
mile ticket at the Jackson ticket office,
good for himself and wife, he rendering
$40 in payment. He was informed
that no such tickets were for sale. Mr..
WOlcott then bought and paid full
price for a regular ticket to Roscom-
mon, and on his return brought suit
against the Michigan Central railroad
to test the state law. The case was
tried before Justice Woods and has re-
suited in verdict for Wolcott, who
was awarded S255. the difference in
the cost of the ticket he purchased and
the rate at cents a mile. The Michi-
gan Central will appeal.

Death OF Thomas Harrison.

At 9:45 this morning Mr.. Thomas
Harrison, an old resident of th;s
county. breathed his last. Mr.. Har-
rlson was born near Liverpool Eng

United States and went to California
where he followed mining until 1862
when he removed to Virginia City,
Nevada. He worked in the mines
there until 1865 when he went to
Ruby Vallly where he resided up to
the time Of his last illness.
On May 10th corn OIL one of his
little toes troubled him and he trim

ravages Of the disease and the old
gentleman lowered between life and
death until this morning when he
gently sunk to sleep.

Nevada at Omaha.

In communication to the Reno
Journal Col. Maxson writes as fol-
lows concerning Nevada's Exhibit at
the Omaha Expositlon:
On the opening day over 5000 Wis.,
tied Nevada's mining exhibit, the
majority Of whom have heretofore
been ignorant Of Nrvada's wonderful
resources. Already l have had in
quires from several sources regard
ing the possibilities of Nevada pro-
ducts and resources. Among miner
ais the principal inquiries are for
LEAD copper and antimony, and have
already arranged for the State Met
allurgist of Utah to visit Nevada this
month in search of antlmony, and
have given him letters to Mr.. Bios
som of Battle Mountain who is the
only man in the State who took in
terest enough in the gathering of ex-
hibits to provide me with specimens
of anthony for this exhibition. How
ever, any good citizens of the State
who may kno ~ of the location OF an
timony can probably find sale for the
same by writing direct to Don Ma
guire, State Metallurgist, Ogden,
Utah. - .. ..
Enquiries for lead and copper have
been made to me by William Lon den
an expert behind capitalists in this
city who have already made pur-
chases in other States, and now at
tract their attention to Nevada, and
request anyone having legitimate
propositions for the sale OF copper
and lead to submit the same to me
or communicate direct with the min
ing expert spoken of above whose
address is the First National Bank OF
this city. AS he is absent from the
State much of the time it might be
better to communicate with me at
Reno from which place my mail is
always forwarded to me.
Another peculiar inquiry came to
me yesterday from man whom 1
met in fraternal society in this city,
and who strikes me as very anus
ing character to say the least. He
was a member vi the last Nebraska
Legislature and is the editor OF a
Populist paper at the town of Papil-
lion in this State. He is recognized
by all parties as one of the ablest
journalists III the State, and his in
quiries to ME we're:
"Can you tell me of any place in
your great State where a man with a
wife and six children can find home
and make a living for themH ] don't
want riches, am not looking for
great estates, l simply want to find a
county where / can make a living
for myself and family ! asked him
what he preferred to DO; enter the
journalistic field, mining, grazing or
agriculture, and his reply was: at
makes no difference, any old thing to
make living, and to be in climate
such az you tell me your State has.
He told me it took the combined
work OF journalist for his country
paper, q farmer on the few acres he
had, and tho campaign work OF a
Populist to make living for his
family to exist IN the oppressive and
unpleasant climate OF the Missouri
Basin. In addition to these vocatioDs
