THE COUNCIL MEETING.
Matters That VIII Come Up Tonight
"A Park Conference.

There will be regular meeting of the
reports of the various other departments of
the city government will be transmitted to
the Council by the mayor, as the last one
that of the Board of Health-was turned
over to him Saturday Controller Johnson
was busy at home yesterday making deduc-
lions from the financial condition of the
city as shown by the figures of his report
as we'll as making comparative statements
with the figures of last year. His financial
statement will be completed by the meeting
tonight. 1t is possible that the mayor will
make some reference to the recommended
tons that have been made by the various
boards with regard to the passage of several
important ordinances. The Board of Works
has recommended the purchasing of an as
phalt plant to enable the city to make its
own repairs on streets where the guaranty
has expired. The Board of Health has rec
commended the passage of pure food oTdi-
nance. All these things will ultimately have
to be passed on by the Council.
The most important subject to come be-
fore the body in the near future, however
will be the proposal to authorize another
park bond issue. 1t is understood a con-
ference between the Board of Works and
the Council will be arranged soon, perhaps
this week. Mayor Taggart is anxious TO be-
gin work on the park system soon as pos
sible. While he has not so express ed him

Aye, aye. they love thee. Dauntless hast thou

For Cod for peace, for country, all these years;
Thy Ginning bells have uttered only good.
Albeit their voice seemed sometime fraught with
tears.
Sinners and saints by scores have trod thine

Here many a burdened heart has sought thy calm,
And. kneeling low to whisper for release
From woe, has found thy benson of peace.

THREE MEN AND A BILLY.
Moses ROsengarten Assaulted Satur-
day Night.

Moses Rosengarten reported to the police
Saturday night that he had been set upon
by three men back OF the lounge factory,
corner of Merrill and New Jersey streets,
about 740 o'clock. He said that as the men
approached him. they asked him the name
of the street and before he could reply, one
of them struck him across the head with
a billy. Rosengarten hurried to the office of
Dr. Frantz, 519 South New Jersey street,

officers furnished slight clew. They were
informed the trouble arose over some money

Train Men Recognized.

There is growing disposition on the part
of transportation officials to bring their
men into closer relations and consultation
on matters in which they are especially in
terested. A case in point is with the Penn
sylvauia lines. Engineer James Mccullough
and Conductor William Conley, of the Pitts
burg division, and Engineer William Gloyd
and Conductor j. H. Cochran, of the Column
bus division of the Panhandle. have been
requested to appear at the next meeting of
the trainmasters and dispatchers, which is
to be held in Columbus on the first Tuesday
in February. The tr9inmen and engineers
will be asked for information regarding the
handling and moving of through and local
trains, and the causes of delay, and the best
methods of obviating such troubles. They
will be asked particularly to give their
views on the best manner of avoiding de-
lays to fast trains. This is a good plan, as
the ideas of practical men who have had ex-
perience with heavy trains on the road will
be of great value in the convention.

in the head, made his way TO NO en-
CINE house, on Prospect street near Vir-

nephew had been killed.
A score of policemen hurried to investi-

fluence of liquor, and his story was taken
with allowances. The nephew whom he
thought had been killed could not be found
until yesterday. II was found at his home
on Geneva street, Woodside, suffering from
a knife wound in the abdomen, but not in
condition to die.

Der 2l,S55 were loaded, an increase over the
preceding week of 51s loaded cars. and 4,1e2

corresponding week of 1897; 5,66s more than
in 1896, and 4,2o3 more than in 1895, when
business was up to a good January aver
age With the large tonnage now being
handled, if rates are held to tariff, as is
claimed, the second week of January should
snow unprecedentedly large earnings, as in
no January of former years has such
loaded-car movement been known. The
Big -Four proper handled at indianapolis
last week 1910 more loaded cars than in the
corresponding week of 1897; the Pennsyl-
vania lines 1,229 more, and every Indian
apolis line handled more cars last week than
usual in a winter month. The vandalia

One of the surprises to freight men is the
large west-bound business for a midwinter

large tonnage of coal, coke and manufac-
tured iron work is moving, and the large
increase in other lines is a surprise. Local
business east, west, north and bound
