OSNABURG HOPEFUL
That the Electric Line VIII Psss Through
That Nlllaae.

Members of the board Of trade of
Osnaburg are progressing in their en-
deavors to have the Alliance Canton
electric line pass through their village.
1T Is said that people living along the
road over which the line will travel, are
willing to pay 81 per acre frontage, and
assist in the grading which is necessary
A member of the board of trade stated
Tuesday morning that sum of money
aggregating possibly 5000 could easily
be raised for the electric line, and
sufficient grading work done that the
company would be repaid for it's ex-
penditure Of the money required to run
the line two miles further than at first
contemplated,
There are about 1900 people residing
In that vicinity who would be bene-
fted by the electric line. A man liy-
ing two miles from the village, far away
from the projected line. has offered
to donate $50 because of the general
good which would accrue to the farmers
as well as residents of the village.
1t is said that the prospects for the
diverting of the line from the main or
contemplated road. to Osnaburg, are
exceedingly bright, and that the board
of trade is hopeful of securing the line
for that place. The services Of q num-
ber Of people In this city have been
enlisted to further the project.

NEW TRIAL WANTED.
In RepieMn Case of Sherlock Against the
City Officials.

Attorneys Miller & Pomerene filed a
motion in common pleas court Monday
afternoon, asking for re-trial of the
case of w. e. Sherlock against the city.
A decision in this case was rendered by
Judge McCarty, Monday morning, in
favor of the city. The action was
brought to replevin certain books and
records in the hands of the city ap-
pertaining to the Hartford Poor Fund
There are six causes set forth in the
motion, in which it is alleged the court
erred in the case. They are the usual
everments as to admitting testimony
and rejecting other testimony, relevant
and irrelevant to the case.
At the meeting of the city council
Monday night no action was taken in
the matter. Some of the councilmen
discussed the situation carefully. There
were a few of them who were desirous
of appointing and qualifying a trustee
1t is understood that when C. T. Meyer
was appointed as a member of the trus-
tees Of the poor fund, he failed to
qualify, and this would permit the mat
ter of appointment to remain open, with
only two trustees having charge Of the
fund.

SURVEYORS ON LYNCH'S LINE.
John u. Hoii and D. A. Braucher Seer
Going Over the Route That Would
Connect With the Canton. Massii-
y lon Line at Reedurban.-.
May Go Farther West.

The electric line to Akron is a cer-
tainty. The News Democrat has reli-
able info NATION that the commission
ers OF Summit county were considering
the matter Monday and suggested some
changes in the franchise that had been
drawn up. Mr.. Childs promised to have
certified check ready by noon, Tues
day, in the sum of 81 500 as a guarantee
that the road would be built. The COM
missioneri then said they would grant
the franchise.
They were to meet Tuesday afternoon
and make the grant.
1t is said that william A. Lynch is
being urged to construct the line con-
Meeting Akron from a westerly direc-
ton. Surveyor John II. Holl and ID. A.
Braucher, said to be acting in the in
terest of Mr.. Lynch, were seen recently
walking over the route of the proposed
line by way of Reedurban and the lakes.
Akron parties are advising that this
line be built by way of Manchester,
Canal Fulton and North Lawrence, thus
further opening the western part of the
other direction.
Auditor Sisler, at 2:15 o'clock Tues
day afternoon, by telephone, informed
the News Democrat that the commits
sioners authorized him to say that the
franchise had been granted to Mr..
Childs. He said that all points had
been agreed upon and all that remained
was the formal action. Mr.. Childs
states that he will commence the work
at the earliest possible moment.

Will rebuild BLOCK.
Kenny Brothers Will Likely Ac.
cept Proposition of Barber
Heirs.

The Barber heirs have decided to re-
construct the Saxton block. The build
ing will not be such an imposing one as
the former one, nor of such great
height. The conclusion was arrived at
by the heirs more specifically on ac-
count of the desire of Kenny Bros. to
secure their former location at the
corner of Eighth and Market streets.
So far as can be learned the build
Ing will be two stories in height. 1T
may possibly have three story front,
but this Is rather indefinite. 1t will be
constructed in a substantial manner,
and the lower part, and possibly the
upper story, may be used by Kenny
Bros. as store rooms.
The ruins of the old block will be
cleared away at once by removing the
debris and tearing down the walls which
remain standing. Kenny Bros. have
had workingmen engaged in removing
such articles from the ruins as would
afford salvage. Their insurance claims
have practically been paid.
A News-DemOcrat reporter called up
on Kenny brothers Tuesday morning,
for a statement as to the proposition
rendered them by the Barber heirs. Mr..
r. b.. Kenny stated that he could not
make a statement until Wednesday.
Howver, 1t is understood that the
proposition Of the Barber heirs is likely
to be accepted by Kenny Bros. and the
building will be constructed.

1t was some time after It became
known that Mr.. Gerardat had smallpox
that 1t was reported to the health

The residents of Marlboro are much
perturbed because the case was not re-
ported earlier. The sick man has been

that he was i'll.

ment of his physician.

noon. At the conclusion of these hear

Deputy Harvey w. Zaiser went to
Maxine, Monday afternoon, where he
served the writs of injunction upon the
projectors of the Canton-Alliance cleo
trio line. In his petition Simon Maudru
averred that the road passing along his
farm has been laid out over so years
and he protests against widening the
road from 40 to 60 feet.
This question arose some weeks ago in
the office of the county commissioners,
when the supervisor of road was in
structed by the commissioners to open
the road to it's full width of so feet. II
appears that the first roads constructed
through this county We're surveyed to a
width of 600 feet, and the commissioners
held that the road must be opened.
