Lansing. Mich, March Ex-Governor
Pingree yesterday signed the bill au-

Detroit, March 25.-Mayor Maybury,
who is in New York. telegraphed Gov
ernor Pingree at Lansing requesting
him to withhold signing the bill for the
requirement of Detroits street rail-
ways by the city because it does not
provide for the referendum. A citizens
committee which has called a mass
meeting for Monday night has wired a
similar protest to the governor.
The governor replied from Lansing in
a lengthy open letter. asserting that
he would sign the bill and giving his
reasons therefor, as follows: That the
people Of Detroit are flavor of mu-
nicipal ownership Of street railways,
and that If the proposed experiment
does not prove a success the people will
meantime have derived the benefit Of
low fares, and the property will be re-
turned to private ownership without
loss to the city. He asserted that those
who are responsible for the newspaper
agitation of the matter use the demand
for the referendum as a cloak for their
opposition to municipal ownership.

AN ENJOYABLE EVENT.
Long to be Remembered by D. c. Cooper,
Late County Clerk

Last week Wednesday eve ling, Com
rade d. G. Cooper and his estimable
wife were agreeably surprised by the
visit of large number of old soldiers
of H. f. Wallace Post to their hospitabe
home. They were gladly welcomed
and were told to make themselves as
comfortable as possible. They hadn't
been there long before a wagon stopped
before the door, and while Mr.. and
Mrs. Cooper were in the parlor enter.
tanning their guests some suspicious
looking pieces of furniture were being
placed in the sitting room. Suddenly,
aud without "a moments warning,
County Clerk Seth S. Beers was in
formed that he should make some suit
able remarks, which duty he performed
in neat little speech.
The pieces presented were four
piece parlor suit, upholstered in
brocatelle, with handsome mahogany
finish, and purchased at the store of w.
A. Knight & Co, Of Corunna.
Mr.. Cooper feelingly responded, and
said he did not think that he really
deserved such recognition at the hands
of his comrades, as he supposed he had
only performed his duty he owed them,
and never expected that he would be so
highly repaid for what he considered
but his duty. He was always glad to
do any favor that might help them in
any way. Thanking them on the part
of his estimabe wife and himself, he
babe them make themselves at home.
The evening was well spent in social
converse intermingled with the relating
of old time war Stories and scenes and
incidents in the life of the soldier and
sailor. Music, games, and a general
good time were INDUCED in and every
one had an enjoyable smoke at the ex-
pense of our genial comrade. At late
hour the old boys left for their homes.

IN THE HANDS OF THE POLICE
Eddie Grif1n's Livery Stable and Equip.
ments Seized to Satisfy Mortgage.

Chief of Police Owen O'Hare took
charge of the livery stable and equip
ment of Eddie Griffin last evening for
the purpose of forec1osing a mortgage
held by J. G. Slater as guardian for the
estate of the father of Mr.. Griffin, who
is now confined in the hospital for the
insane in the Northern part of the
state. The selling of the property will
not come as a surprise as such an
action has been expected for some time.
The mortgage is the outgrowth of a
debt owed to the father by the son,
formerly amounting in all to about
5000. Of this amount nearly $500 had
been paid, but the interest on the
remainder had been allowed to lapse
and the total amount now due is little
less than $500. No effort is being
made to force the livery man into
bankruptcy but the stable and other
property has been seized for the pur-
pose Of securing a settlement of the
accounts. The business will be con-
tinued under the direction of the chief
of police and Charles Watt1es has been
employed to carry on the business for
the chief of police.
Interested parties hope that the mat
ter may be settled and the business
turned back to Mr.. Griffin in a few
days.
