whose financial troubles have been
deep and serious, informed the cores
pendent Of The Spy, this morning, that
he confidently expects to effect a set
tlement with his creditors, and to go
on with his business. as if nothing had
happened.
Nh Long would not say upon what
terms he expected to make the settle
ment.
He said: I wish to correct an i'm
preston about the character of my fail
ure have intended nothing dishonest.
If had wished to fail and make money
could have failed owing ten times as
much S l owe now.
Il do not owe more than 10000 ana
nope to get rid of that Indebtedness. ,"
In the mean time. j. H. Tracey and
several other creditors keep the cloth
ing taken from the Crossman block in
sight, ana Mr.. Tracey remains as
keeper.
Long is so we'll known in Clinton. by
reason of his being in business here
for 10 years, that the course of his at
fairs is watched with a deal OF inter-
est.
From figures prepared in the Office
Of Chief Engineer Harold Parker. the
story seems to be confirmed that NJ
J. o'Hearn of Brookline is the lowest
bidder for the work of removing the
dead from St Johns cemetery to the
new cemetery. Mr.. O'Hearn's figures
lump S1S,825.
If the trustees can agree upon
man, the successful bidder will be an
nounced Monday.
The Clinton Wall Trunk Company
was the lowest bidder for the construc-
ton of the residence Of John 3. O'Toole
on Cedar street. The contract was Civ
Ell to the company at s50701S. Work OH
the foundation will Immediately COM
mence. The completed structure, by
the time electrical equipment is put
in, will cost i'll the neighborhOod of
$4,000. Work on the foundation will be
commenced at once. The house will
be three-story structure with base
ment. One front corner win be orna-
mented with a twoard that will con-
tribute greatly to the finished appear
oICe OIL Lne structure.
The Spy was first to say positively
that Loren B. Walker would probably
be retained as superintendent of roads.
All recent circumstances connected
with this matter point to the accuracy
Of the prediction.
The citizens meeting will hold the
floor in Lancaster tomorrow evening,
tn - Ill -
the republicans will caucus. The citi-
zens who are composed mainly of re-
publican voters, expect to renomInate
the present board of town officers prac-
tically as they are. The republicans
will most probably nominate d select
man Of their own.
Officer Michael McLane had a strug-
gle with Thomas WEIGH this afternoon
WEIGH was drunk and making life mis-
cradle for his aged parents in their
home on Acre street, when the officer
arrived. He took WEIGH by the Shout
der to arrest him. and WEIGH began 10
fight. He made things warm for Me-
Lane while that officer half hauled and
half carried him to the trolley line, and
boosted him aboard the car. WEIGH
behaved d little bit until an effort was
made to take him off the car. Then
he kicked out with both feet, the same
as an ostrich is reputed to do with one,
and kicked Conductor Earnest Burdett
in the solar pleXus, hurting him for the
time severely. There was more fight
until the drunkard was lodged in
cell, in which he raved for an hour like
mailman. The officer did not use his
club nor strike a blow.
BY an oversight in forming the head
over the article on the transfer OF land
in the st. Johns cemetery case, The
Spy was made to say that the settle
ment was ordered in the court This
was not what it was intended to say.
Mr., Mcnamara and Mr.. Murphy resign
ed the deeds voluntarily, and following
an agreement satisfactory to them.

True as Steel tonight at the Clinton
Theatre. fair house was present.

great catch. He has secured Froh-
mans original company in Secret Ser

cities and with the same people, with
one exception.

raided they remembered that that was
just like him.

Great tension is experienced in the
police department The tenure Of
each man is felt by him to be uncer-
tain.
