which will not only reeve them of a
charge of favoritism in making the Sc

a fund for the celebration. They
propose to leave the choice to pop

woman and child Icing entitled to as
many votes as they have nickels they
want to contribute in this way.

cussed, but were left for final determi-
nation with subsequent meetings OF
the committee, one of which will be
held at 10 o'clock this morning at the
Commercial hotel. The goddess of
liberty feature of the parade was
agreed upon. She will be elected by

made today. There will be five poll

The Arrangement of a Programme Be
gun Yesterday.

A meeting of business men and 9TH
ers met at the Office of city Assessor
Long yesterday afternoon to begin the
arrangement of a programme for the
proper celebration of the Fourth OF
July. Nothing has yet been definitely
agreed upon, but plans have been out

test which will probably take place in
the forenoon. The afternoon will be
filled up with a bicycle tournament at
the park. Prizes sufficiently generous
to allure bicyclists and fremen from
all parts of The territory will be hung
up. The browning and patriotic event
of the day will be grant parade,
which will probably take place AFTER
nightfall and will be simultaneous WIN

ever seen in the territory. After pa

last night. It's presentation was at
tended by funnier incident than was
included in the plot In the last act
nearly everybody gets killed. There
was fusilade and the stage was
strewn with dead. An actor, one of
the destined victims, was so astounded
by the slaughter going on around him
that he forgot to fall. The curtain be-

The trial of John S. Anderson,
charged with cattle stealing, was be-
gun in district court yesterday. The
defendant with his son, Josiah An
derson, and James Kerrick, were in
dicted at the November term and the
younger Anderson went to trial A
jury disagreed and his case, with those
against his father and Kerrick, was
continued to the next term The pros
ecuting witness is ]. j. Mitchell, a
ranchman and cattleman living below
ella Bend. He accuses the defendant
of having entered a field belonging to
him and of driving OF, about thirty
head of cattle. AS there were no wit
nesses of the affair the case really
clusters about a horse said to belong
to Kerrick and which was seen at a
house, having been tracked there from
the cattle trail. The defense denies
that this was the horse the prosecu-
ton said it was. Three witnesses only
were examined yesterday, M cnell, his
son and a young man named George
Wedgeworth.
Joseph ST. German, a French farmer
living west of town, was arrested yes
terday on charge of carrying a con-
cealed weapon. Complaint was made
against him by young man named
Thompson. St. German was arrested
by Officer Porterie and taken to JUS
tice Johnstone's court, where he re-
lated story that threw different
light on the affair. Thompson, who
is large and strong, is a brother-in-law
of st. German, who is small, weak
and sickly. They had some trouble
not long ago and since then Thompson
has been following st. German about
threatening to punch his head. Fear
full that he might try to do it, ST.
German sought to reduce the differ
ence in weight between him and
Thompson by loading himself down
with revolver. They met in town
yesterday. Thompson advanced the
head punching theory again. st. Ger
main said it was untenable, not capa-
BILE of demonstration, and he patted
the pocket in which he carried his re-
volver. 1t was then that Thompson
hurried off to the justice with his
complaint.

In 1897 an effort was made to improve
the water supply coming from Iynde

out Of the reservoir and the sides scraped
and cleaned of vegetation and organic
matter. Analyses show that since that
time the quality of the water is much
improved, and it is hoped that it will

SEWERS.

very large amount of work has
been done by this department during
the past year. Much of it has been
difficult. and the excavations have been
deco. On account of the depth at
which the sewers have been laid. and
the excessive rainfall water has been
enco uttered OIL nearly every piece of
work done, and this has greatly added
to the difficulties. The department
has had to its credit a total of s612 -
223. So, and has expended S368. $50 so.
The number Of employees has peen
gradually increased throughout the
year, and during the fall over 500 names
have been on the weekly pay rolls. For

WIRE SUPERVISION.

The severe storms of last February
called the attention of the different
companies maintaining overhead wires
more forclbly than it was possible for
any department to do to the danger of
aerial construction and resulted in a
large amount Of conduit construction
during the summer.
The Postal Telegraph Company has
completed and is using its condulus
through Front, Trumbull and Wash
ington streets to the north line Of the
Boston and Albany railroad. They
have entirely cleared the cross arms
from their Office to the last named
point, and have substituted cable for
open work through Washington, Laf-
ayette, Millbury and Taylor streets to
Union avenue ] am advised that this
company has also ordered sufficient
cable to enable the removal of their
oDen wires from Millbury street as far
south as Cambridge street and that
this work is to he vigorously prosecut-
ed.
The Western Union Telegraph Coma
ny has completed its conduts through

Five signal boxes have been added in
the past year. There were no serious
Interruptions in the service except dur
ing the heavy sleet storm of February,
1898.
The underground service has been
extended by burying 5000 feet of wire,
clearing Southbridge street from Madi-
son to Hammond,and Shrewsbury from
Mulberry to East Central street. The
wisdom of extending the above sys-
TEN is becoming more apparent each
year. therefore recommend that $3.50
be granted to carry on this important
undertaking.
