fore him yesterday morning when the
roll was called. VIM. johnson was
first. William had been raising trou-
Bile at the Bellevue hotel and the Mayor
asked a $40 bill and costs from him.
He was in a lenient mood and as Will
lam had no ''sponds" he told William
he would remit the fine providing he
left town for six months, and William
left. VIM. Fountaine, a man who gave
Johnson an uppercut for attempting to
pull revolver ont him, was fined So
and costs. The Mayor realizing that
ne would do the same thing if man
would attempt to pull gun on him. re-
mitted the fine. VIM. Coss. alias
Spider" got his pension money and

sire to ask If the sale Of lots on the
oath inst. cannot be postponed and
some arrangement entered into with
our City Council, or somebody of our
public spirited citizens by which this
grove can be kept and improved as q
public resort?
Our people for generations past have
become so habituated to the use Of this
grove as a place of recreation and quiet
rest that they will not lightly overlook
the loss of it, and l, as one of them, feel
it my duty to express my deep solicit
tude and doing what I can in my hum
BILE condition toward it's retention for
public uses. If anything can be done
l and others would be glad to hear
from you.
Before closing this letter | feel like
expressing the thanks of our people
that the owners of this property and
some adjoining, have so long and kind
ly kept it as a public resort at their
personal acquaintance with you which
1 have, l feel you will do anything
reasonable in your power conclusive to
the object named l am,
Very Sincerely,
JOHN S. COCHRAN"
In response to this request from
Ind oa COohror Drof Coholl hos ~,
pressed his willingness to dispose of
the Walnut Grove upon very reason
able terms to the city or to any body
of public spirited gentlemen who may
| desire to secure it for public or semi
public uses. While he realizes that to
| dispose of it in small lots will bring
better return, he also recognizes that
| that method is less expeditions and will
| incure some inconvenience. Further,
Prof. Cabell has some sentimental con-
siderations and will be pleased to see
| the tract remain intact
Judge Cochran in his letter has so
| fully expressed the feelings of the
great bulk of Martins Ferry people,
and has so clearly outlined the rea-
sons why the town should become the
possessor of the property, that there
remains but little to say. Already the
question of securing park is begin
ming to be discussed. 1t is conceded
| that the town is not now financially
well-to-do, but it does not follow as
! necessity that any very extensive out
lay be made at present, except for the
purchase of the real estate. In the
meantime, a general discussion of the
project is desirable. 1t will be we'll for
| the people, whose servants the mem
bers of the City Council are, to think
| seriously about the project.
The Sunday Register will have an
other article on the subject, in which
it will be more fully discussed.
