THE ELECTRIC ROAD.
New Company now Ready to organise
Right OF Way secured.

New Company now Ready to Organise
Right OF Way secured.
The Grand Rapids Democrat OF this
morning says: 1t Is now positively de-
cided that the electric railway TO run
to Bedding will be built the coming
summer. Yesterday at the town board
meeting in the township of Cannon
the last franchise necessary to com
plete the right OF way on the route out
lined was granted TO the promoters.
The old franchises that were granted
to Frank w Boughton and Charles +.
Temple one year ago have been re-
voked and new once granted to the
new company that will be formed in a
few days. Judson E. Rice, Henry ID.
Plumb and Huntley Russell hold the
franchises and will organize the COM
pany by drafting articles for lncorpor-
alton the last of the week.
g. G. Comstock and others of this
city are interested in the movement.
Plenty of capital to build the road is
said to have been secured, and it is the
intention of the promoters TO have the
road running before fair time.
The route will be over the Consoli-
dated street railway lines to North
Park, then across the fair grounds to
Mill Creek. This part OF the road will
be operated by the street railway COM
pany. The route will then continue to
Plainfeld and follow the old state road
to Cannon, passing Silver and Bostwick
lakes, to Grattan postoffiee, and then
into Belding. This makes the distance
twenty eight miles.
At the meeting in Cannon township
yesterday over three hundred were
present and great enthusiasm was
shown. The farmers are all anxious
and determined that the road shall be
built. The Bedding line is entirely in
dependent OF other proposed roads run
ming into this city.

Judge F. d. M. Davis has cause Ger
tainly to feel pardonable pride in the
manifestations of friendship that have
come to him during his candidacy for
a denomination. The sentiment n the
district, both republican and demo-
cratic, which crystalized at the con-
ventions, has been practically unani-
nous for him and he will go into the
canvas for reelection without an OPP
posing candidate.
General Leonard Wood, the military
governor, has shown a remarkable ex-
ecutive ability. He has cleaned up
Santiago City, until from a sanitary
view it is new town, and has made
other improvements OF great material
benefit. He has closed the saloons and
business places on Sunday thing
that is not done in our large cities
right here at home-suppressed gam
bling and bull fighting.
The Fifty-ffth congress which expired
by limitation last Friday, is in many
ways the most remarkable congress in
the history OF the republic. 1t has
transacted more business Of interest to
the nation than any other that ever sat
in Washington. The special session
enacted a war tariff law in ten days;
the first regular session declared war
and put an army of $50, 900 men in the
field in ninety days. The victory was
won and the second session confirmed
the treaty OF peace. 1t has also passed
the army bill and raised Dewey TO the
rank OF admiral, besides much other
important business.
Farm mortgages are not only being
paid off in Ionia county, as shown some
time ago in the Sentinel, but real es-
tate seems to be moving fairly well
under Mckinley prosperity. Among
recent transfers we note that julius
Courier of Campbell has sold to ALMA
Jepson a farm of 1l5 acres at $50 an
acre. l.. A. Scoville of the same town
ship has sold a farm that last year cost
him $1,000 to Horace Champlin for
$l,7OO. STU another sale at good
price is sixty acres OF the Yoste estate,
Campbell, sold to Geo. Near for S47 an
acre. Campbell town always was all
right. Ten or more important trans
fers of land at a good figure, and mostly
on cash basis were made during the
past two months.-Ionia Sentinel.
Mrs. Clistia Murray was born in On
tario county, New York, January 81,
1880, and died at her home in Orleans,
Iona county. February q, 1892 At
the age OF IL she was married to Mr..
Samuel Cusser and was his faithful
wife for Al years till his death. Seven
years later she was married to Isaac
Emlaw, who survives her. She exper-
fenced religion in 1916 and joined the
Wesleyan Methodist church, living a
consistent christian life up to her death
She leaves, besides her husband, two
sons and one daughter, three brothers,
three sisters, four grandchildren, and
one great-grandchild. The funeral
services were conducted by Rev. w. H.
Bodine, taking his text from Rev. 14:l3
Her toll is past, her work is done,
Aud she Is surely blessed;
She fought the fight, the victory won,
And entered into rest.
Then let our sorrows cease to flow,
God has recalled his own,
But let our hearts in every woe,
still say they will be done.

COURTS HAVE BEEN RE0PENED
PART OF THE SPANISH SYSTEM
REVIVED IN PHILIPPINES.

Chief Justice ArreIIanO Was mt One
Time AEuinaldO's Principal Adj
viser-AnOther Justice Was in His
Cabinet, and stiH Another Was
President of the Insurgent Gov
ernment at IIOiIO-COrrespOnden
Disbnrred.
Manila, May 29.-An order has been is
sued re-estab blishing the Philippine courts,
which have been closed since the Amert-
can occupation. 1t revives all the Span
ish system not conflicting with the SOW
erelgnty of the United States.
The chief justice is Cayetano Arrelano.
The associates of the civil branch are
Manuel Araulia, Col. Crowder and Grego-
rio Aranta. The justices of the criminal
branch are Raymundo Melllza. Ambrosio
Rianzares, Julio Lorento, Maj. Young and
Capt Birkhimer. The attorney general is
the American Supreme Court.
The oath prescribed begins:
81 recognize and accept the supreme au-
thority of the United States of America,
etc.
The Filipino members are all prominent
lawyers. Arrellano is the leader of his
profession in the Islands. In the early
stages of the Filipino movement he was
Aguinaldos principal adviser. Aranita
was member of Aguinaldos first cabi-
net. Melliza was president of the insur-
gent government at Iloilo; Torres is the
| leader of the local committee working with
the commission to conciliate the insur-
rectionists.
Spanish will be the official language of
| the courts. There has been agitation
among the local British and American
business men and American lawyers who
| came to the Philippines to make fortunes,
TO have the English code and language
adopted, but Maj. Gen. Otis concluded
that it would be unwise, even if practica-
ble to upset long usage. He thought il
best to give the natives courts in the Ian
| guage to which they have been accustom-
! ed.
The Spanish salaries proved stumbling
block to obtaining good men, the highest
being only $3.50, the Spanish judges re
ceivlng fees, which are abolished. All the
| judges are representative men.
Two correspondents of New Yorl
| newspaper have been disbarred for fabri
eating an interview with Gen. Lawton
dated May % at Manila, and for evading
the censorship.
The steamer Ell Cano has arrived her,
from the Island of Guam, bringing tn,

Spaniards for participating in the old re
| bellion.

Havana. May 29.-To-day's events In
connection with the payment Of the Gu
ban troops entitled to apply here for a
share in the American gratuity have eff
fectually killed Off the opposition to the
receipt OF the bounty by privates.
In American military circles it is con-
sIdered that a fine start has been made
and the opposition defeated.
Three hundred privates came up to-day
to apply for payment but though Lieut..
Col. George NJ. Randall of the Eighth
United States Infantry the commissioner
experimenting the distribution here. kept
his office open from 10 O'clock a. m. 10 S
o'clock p. m, only ll2 could be paid dur
ing that interval, as each man took up
several minutes.
Many who brought arms were not on
the rolls at all. Ninety-nine rifles were
surrendered, most Of the applicants de-
clining to take any chances in turning the
weapons over TO the Mayor OF Havana.
evidently believing It would be better to
give them direct to the Americans.
At the conclusion of the days work
there were more than 200 who had not
been heard These will have to wait until
after the return of the pay car on June
Is, when there win be probably extra days
assigned for Havana.
Gen. Pedro Delgado. commanding the
Cuban forces around Guanajay, called his
men together to-day, told them they were
disbanded and ordered them TO take their
arms and go home. OF the 200, some thir-
ty. who were mounted on ponies said they
would ride to Havana and get their money!
Thereupon Delgado, who was formerly -
notorious bandit. called upon the rest to
draw up In line and to shoot any man
who took the road to Havana. Thirty
mounted men gloomily dispersed. They
win have an opportunity TO receive their
shares later.

REVISION is NOW SECURE.
Believed Court of Cassation Is Sure
to Order a New Trial.

Paris, May 29.-,rhe Court Of Cessation
met to-day to hear the debates in the ap-
pncation for revision Of the Dreyfus
case
The affair appears to have lost the power
of producing any unusual excitement. The
court room was fi.led with Partisan celeb
rites, the greater part of the han having
been reserved for ticket holders.
The general belief is that a revision is
secure.
NJ. Ballot de Beaupre reviewed the ju-
dicial history of the case, and said il now
rested with the court to pronounce judg-
ment. He upheld~the statement that there
was sufficient presumption that most se-
rious errors and doubts existed and that
they justified revision of the case. He
read letters written by Esterhazy abusing
France and the French army, these pro-
ducing deep impression upon the audi
ence
At this point with the evident approval
of all who listened, NJ Ballot de Beaupre
quoted from M. Mornards statement as
follows:
Although justice has been rendered
more or less impotent with regard 10 Es-
terhazy by the latter's acQuittal of the
charge of being the author of the border
eau, it is none the less the duty of the
Supreme Court 10 restore TO liberty an in
nocent man unjustly condemned"

SHOULD HAVE HAD A PILOT.
coURT,s OPINION ON THE GROUND
ING OF THE RALEIGH.

Chart of Charleston HarbOr Shows
There Are Frequent Changes in the
Shoal at the Entrance-AdmiraI
Remey Thinks Capt. COghIan
should Have Secured Pilot
Though He Is Not IncIined to Dis
courage Commanders.
washington, May 29.-Admral Remey,
COMPOSING a court of inquiry appointed
10 Investigate the circumstances of the
recent grounding of the cruiser Raleigh
at the entrance of the harbor at Charles
ton. S. c., has filed his report with the
navy department. The findings and opin-
ion of the court of inquiry is as follows:
Finding-1. The evidence establishes
the fact that the shoal upon which the
L. 5. S. RaAigh grounded on May 9. 1899,
has recently been growing to the south
ward and has encroached upon the bear
ing which heretofore has been the usual
and safe guide for the entrance to
Charleston harbor of vessels of the Raj
egh's draught.
. 1t is due to this fact that the Raleigh
grounded.
Opnon-1. In the opinion of the court
no further proceedings should be had
against any officer or man attached to the
L. S. S. Raleigh.
. In the opinion of the court, Capt
Joseph B. Coghlan, U. S. ~, considering
the Raleigh's draught should have en-
ployed q licensed local pilot before enter
Ing the harbor of Charleston, S. c., be-
cause of the warning printed on the chart
that there are frequent changes in the
shoal at the entrance resulting from i'm
proyemonts in progress under the director
OF the corps of engineers, United States
army and that strangers should not en-
ter without a pilot. The court, however
is dsnclined to discourage in any way q
commanding officer from plotting his Owr
vessel under ordinary circumstances.

CINCINNATI HOTEL BURNS.
Guests Quietly and Quickly Brought
Out of the House.


Cincinnati, May 29.-Early this evening
an electric light wire got crossed in the
billiard room of the Burnet House. A
guest noticed the flash, but as nothing
more was seen. the matter was dropped
At 1890, o'clock tonight smoke was seen
to issue from the ceiling of the billiard
room. silent alarm was sent to the
fire department. When the engines came
and the situation was examined a ten
blow was sent in promptly.
Meantime all the guests had been awak-
ened and brought down stairs. This was
done without any panic or excitement.
The only excitement was among the serv-
ant girls, twenty-five of whom clambered
down the fire escape excitedly when the
exit was easy for them through the halls
and stairways. The fire is confined to the
extreme northwestern corner of the build
ing, where it smouldered its way up
through the partitions and broke through
the roof.
At 1:S0 O'Clock it is completely under
control. The injury by fire and water
