Canada, and Central and South America
received them by the package. Immedi-
ateIy a flood of kilograms and letters
poured in with information that the want
ed man was under arrest at each of the
towns from which the messages We're sent.
Fully 1000 men in all conditions of life
were arrested and held until the chicago
ans could be communicated with.
Policemen who knew Tascott were sent
in all directions Long, hard trips to out

rences Canada and the Northwest Terri
tory were searched by squads. Half
dozen men were sent to Mexico on infor-
nation that placed Tascott in the silver
mines. South America was hunted over.
Europe was ransacked. Nor did Africa
and Asia escape visits by the hunters for
the human will-o -the-wisp. Japan called
for a man.
All the clews were unfounded, and after
the expenditure of fully $4,000 and years
of time the family refused to follow any
tip unless it were accompanied by pho
tograph of the suspect One trip into the

RAILWAY ORDINANCE
Defeated at q Meeting Of the Benvood
Council Last Evening.
A MOTION THAT THE M. B. & w.
TRACKS THROUGH THE TOWN
REMAIN WHERE THEY ARE
CARRIED BY Al CLOSE VOTE.
THE ELECTRIC LIGHT CUES
TION ALSO DEFEATED.

AT the regular meeting of the Ben
wood Council last evening two matters
of considerable importance were acted
upon.
One was an ordinance providing for
the removal of the NJ, B. & w. railway
tracks from the principal thorough
fare to Kentucky Heights for the pur-
pose of avoiding the B. & 0. railroad
crossing at the Benwood store in the
Fourth ward and the other was an ordi-
nance presented by the local electric
light company, providing for an In
crease in the price Of each additional
incandescent hight over five. AS is
known the former ordinance was
strongly opposed by the majority OF
the citizens on the ground that such
change in the railway line would
be detrimental to the business inter-
ests of the town and the latter ordi-
nance was protested against by the
private electric light consumers, and
the session resulted in both being de-
feated.
It was ordered, on motion of William
Seabright, chairman of the committe On
streets, alleys and grades, that every
thing in consideration of the railway
ordinance was abandoned. The mo
ton was to the effect that the tracks
of the M, B. & W. Railway Company
running through the town remain
where they are and after few re-
marks upon the question it finally car
ried by vote of to 8.
The only member of the Council
absent was August Hepe. There was
quite a number of prominent citizens
in attendance at the meeting and the
result of the proceedings was looked
forward to with unusual interest.
The notice with which the electric
light consumers were served fixed the
price of each additional incandescent
light over five at twenty cents month,
which amounted to an advance OF S1.40
a year and the private consumers
based their protest on the claim that
the increase failed to confirm with the
provisions of the original ordinance of
the company.
The electric light question was also
defeated by vote of to 8.
The license for boxing on motion
was reduced from SIS to $3.50 among
other business.
