a Slight Change in the Route in
Town Being Asked.
A special meeting of the Town Coun-
ell was called last night to hear an
application from the representatives OF
the Peninsula Railway Company for
Gently granted by the town. There
were present Mayor Hope, president
and Messrs. Schermerhorn, Picker
Cunningham and Bryant.
The company desires to change its
route in the eastern part Of the town
so as to run from Lincoln to Wine, to
Brown to Locust, and thence north to
the corporate limits. The Newport
News and Old Point Railway and
Electric Company have two franchises
T. run their line over Locust street.
but City Attorney S. Gordon Cumming
| expressed the opinion that. as these
franchises were not exclusive. they
would not prevent the granting Of the
franchise asked by the Peninsula Com
pary.
Messrs. causey. Livezey and Lee. rep
resenting the company, were present
and urged immediate action on the
:natter. They drew the sections Of the
franchise as they desired them to read
and asked for action upon them at
Cnce. ...
Attorney Cumming, though declaring
his friendly attitude toward the PENN
sula Company and his willingness to
see the franchise granted without un-
necessary delay. advised against hasty
| action and urged that the matter be
deferred until the Ordinance Commit
tee and Town Attorney might have
an opportunity to carefully consider the
phraseology of the sections as drafted
This, he declared was a precaution
equally Of interest to the town and the
company.
1t was finally decided that this was
the wiser course. and as time was a
matter of much Importance to the COM
rany an adjourned meeting OF the
Council will be held tonight to hear
, the report Of the Ordinance Commit
tee and act on the application for the
franchise. The meeting thereupon ad-
journed
The eastern terminus of the PENN

announce on excellent authority that
the ultimate destination OF the line is
Old Point. No details Of the route
nave been decided upon and the pro-
jectors are moving slowly and cautious

a parallel of the present line, but will
be as far from it as the interests Of

ASSAULTED A LADY.
A White Tramp Seized One and At
tempted to Detain Her.

II was reported to the police last night
that a lady had been rudely assaulted
by a white tramp on one OF the lanes
leading from east Queen street south
ward. The informant stated to the
police that he had seen the same man
in the eastern suburbs last night, the
alleged assault having occurred Mon
day evening
The young lady was on her way to
her home, near by. when the intruder
suddenly appeared and seized her, but
She wrenched herself free from his
grasp and hurried home. The descrip-
ton given the police is so vague that
it Is will hardly lead to the apprehen-
sion OF the assailant. but no effort will
be spared to locate him and take
Inn into custody. The offense was a
serious one. whatever the motive. and
the offender should be severely dealt
with If captured.

IGathered from various roosts.]
 Take, take takecare!!i - E Clean out all old nests. Burn the Hitter. T. Ancient males should be marketed, or consigned to the soup pot. sl Keep the yards and coops sweet by frequently using air slaked lime. Poultry is the cheapest ana most lhealthful meat the farmer can raise. A few broods matched out in August will make nice broilers for the early fall guests.
 Do not make the fowls get their en- tire living in the alfalfa field, addition al feed is requisite if you would have them thrifty.
 Look we'll to the ventilation of the poultry house during hot weather, but avoid draughts in line of the roosts.
 Fall chickens are easily raised if you keep them free from vermin. Crude carbolic acid well diluted sprayed upon the floor, wall and cell ing will be found a great purifier. Eggs should be washed when gath ereo and never stored in a soiled con- dition.
 A few drops of the spirits of cam phor in the drinking water is an excel lent remedy for looseness of bowels in fowls.
 It is said that poke root pounded mp and put in the drinking water is sue cessful remedy for the cholera. Seven drops of kerosene in a tea spoonful of molasses every hour until improved is an effectual remedy for roup.
 Don't feed corn steadily for egg pro- duction, whatever anybody may say. It is contratry to both reason and sci ence
 Many farmers who have kept chick ems all their lives need to study the business, almost from the beginning, to make a success, for they have paid no attention to it.
 If there are bullets or cockerels 1n some of the broods that grow much faster than the rest, mark them to be saved, not to be sold. This method will build up the stamina of the flock
 In dealing with poultry keep track of each bird, and do not depend wholly upon this or that individual. The ques- 1 tion of profit lies with the individuals Any variety can be made profitable by keeping watch of the different fowls.
 No hen can be forced to lay eggs. Ma

ture gives her certain period of time during which the eggs are to be devel- cped. It is not difficult to supply her with the needed elements for this pur- pose, and any surplus bestowed will only be wasted.
 Don't expect to throw out feed with cne hand and pull in eggs with the other. Hens are not built that way you must make them work for every thing they get.
 Growing chickens should not be con- pelled to go on the perches too early They fill up the coop and huddle up in a bunch, rendering the air impure and retarding growth.
 To keep eggs for matching wrap them separately in pieces of newspaper. twisting the ends so the egg will stand on end without danger of breaking; pack in a shallow box of oats and turn them over every few days till ready to set.
 The poultryman's greatest enemy during the summer months is lice. From all.reports they seem to be worse this year than any previous year. Fight them hard and you will be rewarded by a larger number of fine, healthy chicks.
 Don't make big kick if your newly kstched chicks are not perfect in color Wait until they are feathered out, and the weather gets cooler. Many fine birds hatch out very much "of1 color" i" but come out all right in feathering.

NUGGETS FROM THE HILLS.


 The United Verde Copper company has contracted for 2.0O0,O0O brick for new buildings to be erected by the com 'pany.
 Forrest J. Kaldenberg left Globe Thursday for New York on business for the Live Oak Copper Mining and Smell ting company.
 It is reported that extensive opera Itions will shortly be commenced at La Democrata mine near La Mexicana mine in the Arizpe district, by an Ohio company.
 It is understood that Carlevatto and Payla have secured lease on the Tele- phone mine and are to begin work on it at once. The Telephone is a good property and has been a good pro- ducer.
 The copper camps are the liveliest camps in Arizona, and they will con- tinue to grow and prosper for years to come. Within g very few years Ari- |zona will rival Montana and Michigan in the production of copper.-Silver Belt. if The installation of the pumping ma |chinery for the Bonancita placer mines at Bonancfta is about completed and now only awaits the completion of the |pipe line which is being laid for dis tance of twenty miles, to begin opera |tions.
 Don Ricardo Johnson, the well known mining man, visiting in Altar on important mining business. MT. Johnson is completing arrangements to bring some eastern capitalists who Iare interested with him in some min 1 ing properties in Sonora At the mine of the Colorado tres company in the Ures district, large body of rich gold ore has been recently | found. There are now about 150 men employed and the cyanide plant is in constant operation with very good re- suits This is one of the liveliest
 camps in Sonora.
 The following are from the recorders office this week: Proof of labor on Nellie S mine, by D. Richard Kinsman; I location, Bessie mine by Portland M. S. & I. company, Anaconda mine by
 Fred Bulotti, Surprise, Black Beauty and Dividend mines by J. U. Cornell

 Says the Denver Republican: w. A.
 Clark of Montana. often called the copper king" by reason of his large
 copper properties, was in the city yes
 terday with his daughter, en route to
 Arizona, to visit his famous copper
 mine, the United Verde, reputed to be
 the richest copper property in the
 world The price of copper, he says
 will undoubtedly go up in value on ac-
 count of the war and the demand foI large ships. No matter when the wal
 ends number of large battleships will Ihave to be constructed by this country
 and by Spain, if it can raise the funds
 and that means a great demand fol copper, which is required in their con struction. MT. Clark said he did not
 believe the price of silver would in
 crease in the same proportion as cop
 per. He thought it would go over 6t
 cents on account of the Spanish de.
 mand and the prospect of the coinage
 of the seignorage in this country.
