tCeaar Rapids Republicans
There is nothing new nol, startling in

rights they had when the mulct law
was first enacted. and no more. The

conditions ard obtained the new pets

they seem 10 have tried to throw the
question into city politics.. Democratic
office seekers have sought to throw the
bame on the republican party. II
seems that the politicians can fool even
the liquor men. occasionally
Nor IS it at all strange that those
who do not believe in liquors should
have exerted themselves as soon as the
question was thus thrown open. That
Was their side and their opportunity

TWO SETS OF MEN WORKING
Turnpike Company and City Are Now
Repairing the Arlington Road.
Paine's Men Discharged.

When Street Commissioner Roland
Thomas tok the men he had working
on the Abingdon turnpike off the job
on Tuesday it was because he was
laboring under a misarprehension and
they were accordingly put back to
work yesterday morning.
The street commissioner thought
that the injunction served on him on
Monday night prevented him from
doing any work whatever on the road
and he accordingly ordered the men
to stop soon after they commenced
work on the road. He consulted the
city solicitor and was informed that
the injunction merely restrained him
from interfering with Mr.. Paine's
WORK.
Acting under this advice Mr.. Thomas
put eight of his men back to work
yesterday morning. Mr.. Paine also
had several men at work several hun
dred feet away and was himself di-
recting operations,
Some of the councilmen are begin
ming now to openly oppose the ordi-
nance approprating $1,000 for the re-
pair of the road which they formerly
favored. This is because Mr.. Paine
persists in working on the road while
the city is doing the work of repair
ing. They contend that Mr.. Paine has
frequently asserted that whenever the
city wanted to repair the road the
company would graciously step down
and out, and they argue that the pres
ident of the company is not living up
to his word.
Alderman Millar decided yesterday
to discharge Mr.. Paine and the eight
workmen who were arrested on Mon
day for violating a city ordinance in
tearing up the turnpike without a per-
nit, and thereby obstructing traffic.
The alderman decided that the street
was not obstructed.
The matter will come up in common
council tonight, when Luther Keller
expects to secure the passage on Sec
ond and third reading of the ordinance
appropriating the $1,000.

McHALE HELD IN BAIL,
He Is Accused of Practicing Fraud
Upon Mrs. Green.

John McHale, of the Consolidated
Life Insurance Company of Washing
ton, ID. -, was arraigncd before Alder
man Mlllar yesterday, charged by Mrs.
Mary Barry, of Mill street, with i'm
personating a physician for the COM
pany, and examining Mrs. Green, her
aged mother. He waived a hearing
and was held in $500 bail
McIIale and NJ. J. Duffy, another
agent for the company were arrested
last Friday and released on their own
recogni2ance to appear at the hearing
which was TO be held yesterday after
noon. Duffy did not appear yesterday
and Aldermen Millar made out COM
mItment and declared that henceforth
no more persons will be released on
their own recoSnizance by him.
The physician whom McHale imper-
sonated is Dr. W. IL. McGrary, to
whom he bears n certain resemblance.
He is claimed to have given Mrs.
Green a verbal examination, after
which she signed the application, and
a few days later Mrs. Barry learned
his Identity. McHale declares that he
did not impersonate any physician,
and was only present as a witness of
the transaction. He delares that there
was no need Of any physician being
present. as the application does not
call for any.

DAMAGE SUITS NOW
AGGREGATE $4,000
THREE RESULT FROM THE MT.
PLEASANT ACCIDENT.
Heirs Of Thomas w. Williams and
william Gilbert Each Bring Suit
for $4,000 Damages-The Wood
ward Estate Instituted Suit Some
Time Ago for the Same Amount.
The Family of the Fourth Victim
Have Not Yet Moved to Recover
Damages-other Court Matters.

Damage suits, in which the claims
aggregate $4,000, are now pending
against the Mt. Pleasant Coal COM
pany as a result of the mine carriage
accident of February 2S, when four men
were killed by the platform giving
away under them, as a result of the
carriage colliding with a projecting
fan.
There are three suits in all. The
plaintiffs are the heirs of Thomas w.
Williams, William Colbert and Frank
Woodward. The suit by the Wood
ward heirs was brought month ago,
through Vosburg & Dawson. The other
two suits were brought yesterday,
through Attorneys Cornelius Comegys
and George l.. Peck. Damages in the
sum of $4,000 are demanded in each
case.
In the latter two suits the widows,
Mrs. Hannah Lizzie Williams and Mrs.
Mary Ann Gilbert, are the plaintiffs.
They sue for themselves and as ad-
ministrators of their dead husbands
estates. Mrs. Williams has two minor
children, Rachel and John. Mrs. Gill
bert has six children, William Henry,
Thomas, Jennie, Ethel, Mary Ann and
Albert.
The heirs of the Regan estate have
not as yet sued. Senator j. c. Vaughan
Is their attorney.
The suits promise interesting trials,
owing to the fact that the fellow-em-
ployes liability act will enter into
them to a large extent. If the plain
tiffs can show that the lever controll-
ing the fan was defective the company
can be held liable. If 1t is shown that
the accident was due to carelessness
on the part of some employe, in not
properly fastening the lever, there is a
possibility of the court granting a nom
suit.
The testimony adduced at the coro-
ner's jury was not Of a convincing
| character. 1t was made to appear,
however, that the manner of locking
the lever was not what might be called
| extremely safe, and further, it was
quite clearly proven that the lever in
question had been used extensively
during the early morning Immediately
preceding the accident and that there
was a probability that the leVerman
| failed to properly lock the lever.
A spike set in a post held the lever
in place and kept the fans in against
| the sides of the shaft. When the lever
was down the fans protruded and held
| the carriage. 1t is supposed the spike
was caused to fall out by the jarring
of the ascending and descending car
riage and, the lever being allowed to
drop, projected the fans into the shaft.
Another theory is that a piece OF ice
or some other heavy substance fell
down the shaft, struck the rods con-
Meeting the fans with the lever and
| caused the lever to drop.

Claims He Is Insolvent.

In the desertion case of the Common
wealth against Stephen Dickert, in
which the defendant was sent to the
county Jail last March for failure Ia
comply with an order of court direct
ing him to pay the costs of prosecution,
a fine and $40 a month towards the
support of his wife, application was
made yesterday by Dickert's attorney,
John f. Scragg, for an order directing
his discharge under the insolvency
laws.
Dickert declares that he owns no
property, owes nothing and that no.
body owes him anything. Sickness and
consequent inability to work placed
him in this condition, he says.
Judge Archibald fixed August 13, at 2
O'Clock a. M, as the time for the hear
ing on the application, the prosecutrix
to have ten days notice.
