NEW ORDINANCE
Interesting Case Before Judge
Ball in City Court This
Morning

III Alil Aoull iillS morning an inter-
esting case was heard. the decision in
which will be OF interest to the general
public and to advertisers especially.
George r. Holiday and John Smith
were charged with violating the recent
ordinance passed by the Street and
Sewer Department regarding the dis
tribution of circulars. The testimony
was to the effect that the two young
men had been arrested for placing a
publication entitled "The Bulletin" be-
meath the doors Of certain houses in the
city.
WHAT IS A NEWSPAPER?
In arguing the case Assistant City
Solicitor Cahoon took up the subject Of
newspapers, and claimed that "The
Bulletin" was not a newspaper, mas
much as it was not entered at the post
office as second-class matter; that 1t
had no subscribers nor circulation, and
that therefore It came within the meais
ing OF circular. He cited several au-
thorities on the subject
JURISDICTION OF DEPARTMENT.
Robert II. Richards, representing tn.
defendants, questioned the power of the
Street and Sewer directors TO pass al
ordinance similar to the one passed re
garding the distribution OF circulars
Mr. Richards commanded that the de.
partment had only control from build
ing line to building line, except regard
ing sewers, and that therefore it haC
no right TO go outside OF its limits ant
pass an ordinance touching upon th'
use of vestibules, inasmuch as the.
were beyond the building line.
i Judge Ball reserved his decision II
the case until Friday morning.

BALLOT BOXES

As the Votes Now Stand the Wash
ingtOn Fire Company Is
in the Lead

Unknown parties have carried of the
nine large ballOt-bOxes which We're To-
Gated just within the gateway OF the
Elks' carnival grounds, and which
were used to receive votes in the fire.
mems horn contest
Owing to some dissatisfaction re-
garding the firemen's day parade, mem-
bers of the Elks' Committee decided
that instead OF awarding the horn
presented by Sterlith Brothers for the
company making the best appearance
in line, to let the public vote upon the
question.
BOXES CARRIED OFF.
Accordingly, on Thursday evening
nine small ballot-boxes, each bearing
the name Of fire company, were
placed within the gates at the main en-
trance Of the grounds. Everyone en-
tering the fair was entitled to vote for
his or her favorite company. AS SC
many persons attended the carnival
these small boxes were deemed insuf
ficient to hold the ballots, and on Fri
day evening they were removed and re-
placed by the large ones used during
the fremen's contest at Shellpot Parl
last season. The small ones containing
the votes deposited were taken to th'
Elks' headquarters.
Yesterday when the Elks Commit
tee went to the grounds to procure th'
large boxes. the members were sur
prised to find that they had been mys
teriously removed. and so far all ef
forts to locate them have been un
availing.
"WASHY" AHEAD.
The subject has been referred to tn
Elks' Executive Committee, and unles
the boxes can be located the horn will
be awarded according to the votes il
the small boxes. The vote now stand
as follows: Friendship, 22S; Reliance
IA; Delaware. GO; Phoenix 636; Waite
Witch. 70; Fame, &c. Washington
727; Weccacoe. 50; Liberty, SO.
The contest has created much dissen
sion, a number OF firemen declaring
that If the appearance Of the apparatu
in the parade is to be taken into con
sideration that the Fame should hav
the prize. Members Of the Phoeni
company say that they do not expec
the horn, as they were not in line.

ONE IMPORTANT CLUE
Secured by the Detectives I'm the
Panhandle Train Murder and Rob-

Secured by the Detectives in the
Panhandle Train Murder and Rob-
berry.
COLUMBUS. o., August 11.-Oficefs
are securing the whole country along
the Pennsylvania railroad between this
city and Urbana, in search of the the
men who murdered Express Messenger
Lane and robbed the way safe in his
car last night DozeI- OF stories and
rumors have been sifted down and the
officers are apparently no nearer the
solution of the mystery than when
they started. II any promising clues
have been secured they are being very
closely guarded.
All the persons placed under sur
veillance to-day have been released.
The old man who tagged the train at
Marble Cliff, was found and gave a
very satisfactory account of his move
ment. j. F. Hamilton, a farmer who
lives at Raymonds, Ohio, called at
police headquarters this afternoon and
confessed TO beating his way on the
fl ain from Milford Center to Colun-
bus. He claims he got on the front
end Of the first car and found two men
on the platform. They got off at
Plain City Hamilton thinks he heard
shots fired in the express car after the
train had passed Marble Cliff, but his
story is not given credence. because
the car which he designated was not
the one in which the murder and rob
berry occurred.
1t was reported that trail OF blood
had been found along the track near
Plain City. Indicating that OF or the
robbers might have been wounded, but
the report has not yet been confirmed.
Efforts are now being made 10 get
trace of a mysterious stranger setn
around Plain City for several days and
who disappeared the day of the ROBBERY.
Two men, one of whom answers the
description of a Dayton crook, were
seen at Springfield at 3:45 this morn
ing. Their peculiar actions excited
suspicion, but they have not been To-
Gated.
An important clue has been obtain
ed by the Columbus detectives working
at Plain City. The landlord of the
hotel there reported that a stranger
who had gotten off the train on which
the murder and robbery took place,
came to the hotel and secured room.
The stranger was uneasy and frequent
ly glanced furtively about him. Early
Saturday morning he got his breakfast
and left for Columbus. He did not
register and his name is unknown. De-
tective Foster went to the room with
the landlord and a close examination
was made of it. Nothing in the shape
of papers or letters was found, but in
the bed, under the mattress and hid
cen between the springs and bed Stats
was found large bull dog revolver.
This is believed to be the revolver that
fired the first shot into Messenger Lanes
back, the murderer being finished later
by 1t ana Lanes own Smith & Wesson
gun. A description of the stranger was
obtained The police now believe that
Lane was shot before the train reached
Milford Center. A farmer residing near
that place claims he heard five shots fred
as the train neared that place. Conductor
Taylor is now positive that he was mis-
taken about talking with Lane at Milford
Center. He thinks it was probably at
Urbana or st. Paris.

Practically Arranged That Mr.. Bryan

try.
CHICAGO, August 11.-W. ]. Bryan's
visit to Chicago has practically resulted in
an understanding that he will travel al
most as much during the present cam
paign as he did in 1896. The first incli-
nation on his part was to avoid the MAX
ing of many speeches this year but there
has been such general pressure that it is
understood he is now inclined to yield and
to visit many parts of the country. No
positive promise for participation in the
campaign have been made for other States
than New York, but the possibilities are
that he will go from that State to Mary
land, where there appears to be great
anxiety for his appearance. After that
time he is likely to make a quite general
tour of the North Mississippi valley. in
Guiding Ohio, Indiana, Illinois. Mnneso-
ia, etc. No authorized statement has
been given out to this effect but there is
no doubt that this is the present tendency
that indeed the plan is practically de-
cided upon. In New York it is expected
that Mr.. Bryan will speak only in the
larger cities
The Silver Republicans originally ex-
pected to notify Mr. Bryan of their nomi-
nation of him for the Presidency at the
same time that the Populists make their
notification al Topeka, Kansas, August %,
but this purpose has been changed Their
notification will come later and the prob
abilities are that it will be made at St
Paul or Minneapolis
Hon. T. NJ. Patterson, of Denver, will
make the speech notifying Mr.. Bryan of
the Populist nomination at Topeka There
will be no notification to a Vice Presiden-
tlal candidate, as in view of Towne's
