rain. AS it is now the proposed route
does not come near Colerain, but cuts

strong for the brute, which sprang from

dexter was pretty badly scared, and

BRIDGEPORT.

Since the pike has been torn up the
bicycle riders who wish to go out that
way are making a practice of riding
their wheels Oh the sidewalk, which is
a direct violation of an ordinance
passed by council some time ago. They
claim the mayor has given them per-
mission to do SO. They should not
think so whether he did or not, as the
town would be very peculiar one if
the mayor could annul ordinances for
the benefit of people on certain occa-
sions. The people of the West End in
general are complaining about the mat
ter and complaints will likely be laid
before the authorities if the nuisance
continues.

Fresh. Readable News Items Para
graphed for Sunday Readers.

A member of Council said yesterday
that it is possible the bids for lighting
the city will not be opened at the ex-
piration of the time advertised The
reason of this is that H. M. McCaDe,
representative of the Welsbach Safety
Light Company, has been in the city
for the past few days working up sen.
timent in favor of that method OF
lighting. Some of the members APP
pear fayorably impressed, and hence
the talk of deferring the contract until
the new competitor has an opportunity
of bidding.

by no means a small one. Friday and

Friday night B. & O. brakeman
John Feeney met with an accident
while coupling cars in the yards. He
had his right forearm caught between
the Drawbacks and fearfully lacerated.
He was attended by Dr.. d. W.
Boone and an effort is being made to
save the member from amputation, but
it is doubted if this can be done. The
bone is not badly fractured. but the
muscles are lacerated in such a manner
as to render proper healing only pos
sibility.

PROSPERITY IN OHIO.
Republican Victory of $4,000 Next
Fall Predicted.

citizen of Newark, Ohio who is en-
pioyed in the internal revenue bureau In
this city, wrote to his brother who resides
in Utica, Licking county, Ohio, and whose
business brings him in daily contact with
the voting classes of the community, to
write him true statement of the roliticaI
situation in Ohio. His reply is as follows:
In regard to the political situation in
Ohio, the democrats are making a great
effort to get up a fractional feeling between
the friends of Senators Hanna and For
aker, but we always come out all right and
| am satisfied that there is harmony in the
republican party. OF course, Foraker and
Hanna do all they can to get ahead of each
other, but you know that Hanna is a
staunch Mckinley man. ami Foraker does
not dare do anything against the admins
tration. for that would kill him. politically,
In Ohio. As for the administration in this
state it is all right. and tbs voters will
show to this country that they stand by
William Mckinley 10000 strong when the
votes are counted in November Jake TIar-
ris says the plurality will reach 100 300.
Il know there is going to be a great eff
fort made by the democrats - carry the
state, and L presume they will try Bryan
again and the silver issue in 1900: thew cam
not succeed when there is such prosperity
in the country as we having al this
time such prosperous times as we are now
having were never known; the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad Company cannot handle
all the freight that comes to them There
are as high as ten sections run on one
schedule, and about one-fourth more cars
to each train than they formerly had. If
they only hauled the same number of cars
that they did some years ago. twenty loads,
they could not get the freight over the
road. Employees of railroads, rolling mills.
and other persons that are engaged III busi-
ness will never let the government go back
to the democrats. The people had enough
OF Cleveland times, and they will not forget
them soon.

The Case of Murderer Kelley.

TNe State Department would be pleased
to know what has become of a murderer
named Kelley, who at last accounts was
held In japanese Jail, under sentence of
seven years imprisonment from the consul
lar court al Yokohama. Some time before
the new Japanese treaty by which We sur
rendered our extraordinarily went into
effect the State Department bethought itself
of Kelley, who was the only American long
term prisoner in Japan, and had served but
six months of his sentence. 1t desired to
bring him to this country to serve OUT his
sentence, and the only manner in which
this could legally be accomplished was to
secure request from the prisoner that his
sentence be commuted. Kelley was COM
muricated with. but was not heard from di-
rectly. Meanwhile, the Japanese govern
ment notified the State Department that 1t
proposed to release all foreigners held in
Japanese prisons under sentence from con-
sular courts on July 16 the day the old
treaty expired. The State Department re-
monstrated, holding that Japan assumed
by the new treaty the obligation 20 hold
Kelley in jail but the contention has not
yet been accepted. Yesterday came notice
that Kelley had made application for a
Communication before the letter of the At
torney General relative to his case had
reached Japan. Thus he could be brought
to the United States if the japanese gov
eminent has not already released him and
on this point the State Department is ignor-
ant.

equipping of new ships. Secretary Herbert
Placed the responsibility almost entirely
with the chief constructor as to all parts Of
the ship and the ship as a whole. and this
order, known as i33, has been the subject
of difference.
The new order follows in the main the
language of the old one. but some changes
in the text are made which will work con-
siderable variation in the system. Section
l is changed so as to omit the designs
of all ships from the responsibilities
charged upon the chief constructor Here
tofore he has been charged with the re
sponsibility for ''the designs. structural
strength and the stability of all ships.
Sections 3 and q also are changed so that
the chief constructor. in passing on pro-
posed changes of design, equipment. ETC.,
is authorized to state objections so lar as
relates to matters under the cogniZance of
said bureau" The other bureaus also are
required to confine their objections to mat
tiers under their own bureaus. The general
effect of the new rule appears TO be in the
line of giving each bureau d larger measure
of responsibility over affairs directly under
