A JUSTICE OF THE PEACE

Figured Prominently I'm An Exottinw
Incident In q Hotel Dining Room
Monday Night.
Monday evening about six O'Clock
there was quite an exciting incident in
a certain hotel dining room In which
Justice Srolowitz, of Washington dis
trict, figured prominently.
While he was at supper the stage
carpenter of the Telephone Girl"
company entered. The man was eyi>
IDENTIFY very drunk, for he immedia'
ately began to swear at the Mattresses.
Justice Srolowitz warned the man to
conduct himself in a gentlemanly man
ner, but the swearing continued. The
Justice walked over to where the man
was seated and placed him under ar
rest. AS the Justice laid hand on him
the man struck him, knocking him
back against a table.
At this point a porter rushed in, and
thinking the Justice was the cause of
the disturbance, hustled him into tbs
office. The Justice called an officer
and had the nan arrested.
The justice issued warrants charg-
ing him with profanity and disorderly
conduct. He was committed to Jail for
a hearing yesterday morning at 10
O'Clock.
In order to allow the play to go ON
at the Opera House Monday night the
stage carpenter had to be present. The
manager posted a bond of $25 to SCI
cure his release from confinement. As
the company left town early yesterday
morning the bond was forfeited.

ing such a large sum OF money in the
hands of the ring that now control our
city affairs; that soon after the cleo
ton of the Republican administra-
tion a few years ago they proceeded
to increase taxation 10 per cent, and
that a certain newspaper, which Is

ordinance made diagrams Of certain
streets and alleys showing where GER
tain Republican Councilmen had ex-
pended public monies to pave their
alleys to their stable door. thereby
improving their own real estate, while
other taxpayers were walking up to
their ankles in mud to reach their
residences. This is about the sum
and substance of what was said. 9th
Ell delegates, Hayes, OLeary, Donahue
and Boes spoke in about the same
strain"
Otto H. Auber-"I intend to vote
against the refunding ordinance, be-
cause | do not believe that it is the
proper thing. l am of the opinion that
it will be much better to pay off the
bonded debt just as 1t comes due n
as much of the principal each year as
possible, than to increase the debt for
a certain length of time at a lower
rate of interest"
Peter Muhn-"I am opposed to the
r~efunding scheme, and shall vote
against it. don't think it embodies
a good business proposition, taking
the present condition Of affairs into
conside1.e-on."
E. Hoffreuter-'I am heartily OPP

it."
Christ Viewig-"I cannot conceive

posed to the city having her own
electric light plant, if she has to pur-
chase it from individuals. So far the
individuals have gotten the cream out
of the business and have been granted
a franchise to run the plant for some
years to come. If circumstances

To Attend the Meeting of the State
Executive Committee To-Day.
The Republican State Executive
Committee will meet at the Chamber
of Commerce at s o'clock this evening,
and the fact has brought a big crowd
of the party leaders to the city. The
personnel of this party appears else
where, but it may be stated generally
that it will be a very distinguished
crowd, comprising in a general way all
the big guns from all over the State.
Huntington, Charleston, Parkersburg,
Clarksburg, Fairmont, Grafton, anc
other towns will be represented, and
there will be a big fight for the loca-
ton of the State Convention. Wheel
ing is after this gathering red hot, but
so is Parkersburg, while a number OF
other towns are supposed to be in the
race, including Charleston, Fairmont
and Huntington. What the outcome
will be is past guessing, but Wheeling
people are looking after local inter-
ests energetically, and last evening ex-
pressed confidence in the result. They
have headquarters at o No. z, Nc
Lure House.
Another matter to come before the
committee will be the selection OF
dates and towns for holding conven-
lions to select delegates to the Ma
tional Republican Convention.
Among those here are A. B.
White and Congressman Freer, rivals
for the gubernatorial nomination, the
latter to speak tonight at Pythian

price, the ola electric Ilght
plant, and still let remain the new
franchise to be a competitor of the
city, or does 1t mean that the two to-
gether are to be dumped, as it were,
upon the city for a large sum of mon
ey? or in other words, that the city
grant to those parties a valuable fran
chise without compensation, and in a
few months the same parties, or their
aSsigneeS sell the same franchise to
the city at their own price?
Has not the City Council begun at
the wrong end of this electric light
matter? Should they not first pro-
pose to the electric light company to
purchase it's plant, as provided in the
acts of the Legislature, and in case a
price could not be agreed upon, that
notice be served as required in that
act for the appointment of arbitrator.
n If the electric light company re-
fused to appoint arbitrators that would
release the city from any obligation TO
purchase; but should they consent to
arbitration and appoint an arbitrator,
should not the city have gone on and
a~scertained the value of the plant,
either by agreement or arbitration. in
advance of negotiating a loan without
knowing how much it is going to cost
to buy the old plant, or to build a new
one, or both as the case may be?
1T looks to me as though the inten-
tion is to commit the city by requiring
it to make the loan in advance of any
negotiations leading to the purchase
of the electric light plant, thereby re-
quiring the city to accept the plant at
an agreed price, OF a price fixed by ar
%bitration, whether that price is salts
factory or not.
LET the price be first fixed, and If
it is reasonable, the citizens will at
any time ratify a loan for the purpose
OF enabling the city to manufacture
and sell its own electric light, but it
is not proper to ask the citizens to
ratify such a loan in advance of know
ing what it will cost to purchase the
old plant, or enable the city to go into
the business of manufacturing and
selling electric light"

Although the report showed that shade
over one per cent. was earned on the
stock, discussion of specific items was
unfavorable. For instance the high ratio
of operating expenses and outstanding
loans of 81 ,000 900 aroused comment. De-
cided pressure was exerted against the
stock from the outset, an extreme loss of
two and a quarter being made, with the
net loss reduced to one and five eighths
on purchases by the short interest. In
Peoples Gas fall of two per cent. was
without adequate explanation, but this
stock also recovered somewhat in the
final dealings. These movements were
the chief features of the market, its
narrowness being accumulated by the abb
sence of London operations, it being
holiday there. Railway stocks were re-
latively better sustained than the gem
eral run of Specialtics. The publication
of the second week OF August earnings
for many lines showing numerous IN
creases acted as prop for this division
These statements demonstrated that
tonnage was increasing in widely sepa-
rated sections. For the Southwestern
quarter, Missouri Pacific showed gain
of $4,000 In the South Norfolk and
Western led with $56,970 and the west
was represented by gain of $2l.725 IN
Chicago Great Western. AS the time
approached for the publication OF the
bank statement business became very
restricted. The statement met general
expectations as to the cash loss OF So
"a. 800 Accommodations to the under
writing syndicate in connection with the
British loan accounted for the greater
part of the increase in loans Of $6,S47-
O00 Deposits were reduced 1901 500 and
the general effect was the shrinkage in
surplus reserves of $7,56S,900 A replen-
ishment Of the banks losses this week
is expected to occur speedily, advices
from Pacific coast points announce the
receipt of 81 500, 600 Alaskan gold. This
it is believed will be made available to
the local banks by Government drafts on
the Treasury here. In addition pay
ments are now being made on account of
the redemption of the old Government
2s, involving some s20,000000. With
these factors taken into consideration no
general uneasiness is felt as to the i'm
mediate future of the money market.
Prices in the bond market conformed

New York. Aug. 1S.-The market for

prices six to ten points higher and dur

ed marked strength following a firmer
ruling of the Liverpool market than fig
ured upon a more bullish trend Of the
Chronicles review than looked for and
continued abnormally light receipts at the
interior towns and ports. Rumors that
Southern spot markets were once more
hardening on increased export demand
added to the general steadinesS. On the
opening rise wire houses, Europe and the
South bought the winter months hastily;
room traders having profits within easy
reach sold. AS the session progressed,
trading dragged somewhat, there being
few new orders in evidence. The private
crop information in hand was too con-
11icting to warrant a positive stand being
made either way. There was no radical
change in values following the start and
neither bulls nor bears made concerted
effort toward currying favor in outside
speculative circles. The market for flu
lures closed steady with prices net three
points lower to ten points higher.
