Cleveland would hereafter be only a
branch Office like those maintained in
several cities.
1t was suggested that the action of

case. Virgil P. Kline, the attorney for
the company, also said there was no

ROBERT G. HARTMAN, appeared
before the Street and Sewer Com
missioners last evening and pre-
sented a claim from former Street
Commissioner Francis McCloskey
for the difference in his salary,
which had been reduced from $1,000
to $1,000. Mr.. Hartman commended
that the Board had the right to
lower and raise the salaries of those
employed, but they must do so le-
gally. He commended that it should
have been done by a resolution in
stead of a motion. The contention
will be settled in the courts.

The storm last evening broke in
all its fury shortly after 8 o'clock.
A regular old-fashioned wind storm
preceded the rain, and trees, tele-
graph wires, fences and shutters
were blown down. The lightning
was very pronounced and lit up the
sky as it broke forth in all It's gran
deur and fury, followed by terrific
peels OF thunder. Street car travel
was impeded, and several cars had
their motors burned out. A regular
cyclone struck the residence of JOS
eph LeFevre over on the New Cas-
tie road and then took westerly
course and jumped over across into
New Jersey. The storm was more
severe the second time, between II
and l o'clock and more rain fell.
The mercury fell Is to 20 degrees

others on the principle that misery loves
