Police, $3.50 50: city prison, 800 So; to-
tai, $3.50 Sc. II was explained that the
Item Of $751; for the services Of special
ofHcerS, was brought about by the dep
relations on the Island and In other
parts Of the city just before the ElkB'
street fair opened. Mayor Sweeney
stated that he and the chief Of police
saw that there must be additional pO-
lice protection, and they had gone
ahead and hired the specials These
specials were not the ones in the
grounds. who We're employed by the
Elks: they were stationed on the Is
land and In other parts Of the city, and
we're undoubtedly responsible for the
remarkable absence Of robberies in the

place officers there.
Mayor Sweeney reported that the real

When Police Lieutenant Eddie Mich
aels and ONCE Devlnney returned from
their frultless search for Fatty Drill
Ter down the river Thursday morning,
It was feared that Driller and the Par
ker woman had got away from this
community and would probably escape
justice. Yesterday, however, remarlSa7
BILE to relate. Driller and the woman put
In their appearance on the South Side,
and III a result the officers were soon In
formed and the pair were speedily
placed under arrest, on warrants charg-
ing Drlller with the killing of Louis
Dlttmore and charging the woman with
completely in the crime.
It was shortly after s o'clock Friday
morning when Butch" Beiswinger,em-
ployed at the schmulbach brewery, saw
DrIller and the woman walking up the
baltimore & Ohio tracks near the brew
cry. BeIswinger notified Police Officer
Meyer. who hurriedly took up DrIllers
trail and in a short time had arrested
him just as he was coming from q sa-
loon, at the corner of Eoft and Twenty
ninth streets. Drlller offered no resist
ance and passlvely accompanied the
officer to police headquarters.
oHlcer Larlin IVES notified to go after
Mrs. Emma Parker. After some very
quick work he sighted the woman near
the Belmont mill, and placed her under
arrest. 1t is thought the pair were
making for the river with the intention
Of escaping to Ohio.
Warrants were at once sworn out be-
fore Justice W. W. Rogers, the one
against Driller charging him with the
murder Of Dlttmore. while that against
Mrs. Parker charged completely in the
crime.
John R. Watkins, the Little Washing
ton man who purchased from Drlller the
house boat owned by Dlttmore,was held
by Sheriff Richards as an important
witness. He spent a large part Of the
day in the sherif's office, and was al
lowed as large a measure of liberty as
was possible under the circumstances.
He is not suspected of having had a
hand in the crime, but the case largely
rests on his testimony, 1T is said.
Sheriff Richards and Chief Of Police
Clemans spent most Of the day in an eff
fort to secure additional evidence, and
they were partially successful, and feel
encouraged in the belief that they have
enough now to hold Drlller and Mrs.
Parker.
Mrs, Parker was induced to talk to
the sheriff and chief OF police during the
afternoon. She said she and Driller
spent Tuesday night at Paul RIgots
place In Upper BenwoOd; that they
were refused further accommodations
there and the ensuing two nights were
spent on the hill back Of Benwood.
Yesterday afternoon, at Benwood. be-
fore Squire Lacey, an inquest into the
cause OF Dlttmore's death was held. and
the verdict was that he came to death
by violence at the hands Of person or
persons unknown.
For a time there was some uncertain
ty as to which state. Ohio or West Vir-
ginia, and II West Virginia, which coun-
ty. Ohio or Marshall, would properly
prosecute the case. 1t now seems set
tied beyond doubt that the crime was
committed in the Jurisdiction Of the
Ohio county authorities, West Virginia
and Ohio county extending over the
river at West wheeling to low water
mark.

The Street Railway Franchise
Fight at Wellsburg Ends ina
WHEELING COMPANY WINNING.
Tho Franchise Goes to the Mounds
vile. Benwood 8 Wheeling Conn
pany Which wnlBuild an Electric
Line from wheeling to wellsburg
via West Liberty and bethany Iane
to DO Completed In one Year.

At special meeting last evening, the
Wellsburg city council voted to grant
the street railway franchise to Messrs'
A. Miller and Alfred PAUL, both OF
Iyheellng, representing the Moundsville,
Benwood & Wheeling Railway Com
pany. Their proposed route is from
wheeling to wellsburg via West Lid
erty and Bethany.
The aght was between this company
and the wheeling, wellsburg and Lea
surevIlle company. the home company
drawing of in favor OF the former.
The vote in the first branch was three
TO three, Mayor Jones casting the de-
Gliding vote in favor Of Messrs. Miller
and Paul.. In the second branch there
was no opposition.
The successful company agrees to
give the city Of wellsburg cash bonus
OF $1,000, open Charles street through
the Frazier property and also widen
Charles street south of that property.
They are to fiIe an acceptance OF ordi-
nance granting the right within thirty
days, begin work on the road in sixty
days and have 1t completed in twelve
months. The result gives general salts
faction to the people at WelIsburg.
The news from wellsburg this morn
ing will be read with great interest in
wheeling, as the street railway fran
ehise fight before the town council there
has had a decided local bearing, there
being three Wheeling companies in the
field for the franchise, and Wellsburg
company in which Wheeling people
we're largely interested. The successful
company did not figure as an applicant
for the franchise until the meeting Of
the Wellsburg council last week. Pre-
vious to that there had been a deadlock
In the second branch, while the FIRST
branch voted in favor Of the Wheeling,
wellsburg and Leazureville company.
The contest ended in the success Of
Nfessrs. Millers and Paulrs company,
largely through their offer Of u bonus
and other considerations to Wellsburg.
The company has yet to secure rights OF
way in Ohio and Brooke counties. It
is not known whether or not the sue
cessful company intends to connect Its
new system with It's Benwood and
Moundsville line. Neither is 1t seen
iust how 1t will go about getting Its line
out of wheeling along the National pike
to Altenhelm. where the West Liberty
pike is reached. In some quarters 1t is
asserted that the company is blufting so
fas as building u line from Wheeling to
Wellsburg is concerned, and that 1t Will
only build line between wellsburg and
LeaEurevIlle. Neither Colonel Miller
nor Mr.. PAUL could be seen last night.
