Between May and November l, 1898, in

town semi-monthly.
We would suggest that the town authorities
have all the alleys thoroughly cleaned and
lined this spring.
The Bowery street bridge matter was
then taken up, and Mr.. Shuckhart
said that he would like to see the bridge
up before there were any agreements
entered into.
Mayor said that as far as he knew
when the railroad company procured
their franchise there was no corpo-
ration and no street. The bridge was
not what it ought to be- A good. sub

thought the company was asking too
much to take it off their hands entire

The Baltimore Sun reports this:
1t is stated by reliable authority that the
West Virginia Pulp and Paper company,
which were to have located their new
$20O0,OOO plant on the Greenbrier river, IN
West Virginia, have been compelled to seek
a new location on another stream in their
immense tract a fishing and hunting club on
the Greenbrer having obtained a permanent
injunction against them to prevent their pol
luting the river.
"a fishing and hunting club :"
"A permanent injunction -
How the ridiculous, with one bound,

There is really some excuse for Cum
berland to prescribe out-of-town de-
velopment. If that excuse were based
upon the need of water that is fit to
drink. instead of river water, it would
"cover a multitude of sins''-of the
species, the JOURNAL fears, which sent
poor Dives to region intermlnably

But that a river l15 miles long
should be set apart by perpetual in

would be in this boosted age of prog

The Age-Herald this morning exclusively presents the complete report of Examiner of Public Accounts Cowan on the workings or the commissioners court of Jefferson county.
 MT. Cowan alleges many irregularities in the conduct of the county governing power and sets forth in each case the full de- tails, his report in manuscript making twenty-five pages of closely typewriter matter.
 The first allegation is that the commis- sioners drew pay in violation of law.
 The second, that their books and accounts were kept in an irregular and haphazard style.
 The third, that their relatives were fa- yored in the matter of awarding contracts for coal, etc.
 The fourth, that the road laws were ig- nored and that hundreds of dollars were extravagantly expended monthly without the proper accounts being kept.
 The fifth, that an agreement was entered into whereby the raises in tax valuation were not equitable.
 The sixth, that by an order of the court the county is deprived annually of $7500 privilege taxes.
 During the last session of the legislature Governor Johnston announced that he would recommend the abolishment of the court. Not long after, Mr. Cowan was sent here to examine affairs. His report has and in full is as follows:
