M,sFoRruNEs or oHlo's GOVERNORS.
New York sum-

NA'o" h'i" 'N'h'I
Friends Of former Gov. James z.
Campbell of Ohio have been greatly
shocked to learn of his recent mis-.
fortunes. A few years ago he was one
of the leading Democratic politicians
of the country, and at one time was
strong possibility for the party nomi-
nation for President. Soon after the
expiration of his term as Governor Of
Ohio he came to this city and opened
law office. He had lost money in
politics, and had lost most Of his law
practice. He has been successful in
this city, and several times undertook
to promote industrial enterprises in
connection with his law business.
Some time ago he had a long attack or
illness, his business was ruined and
he has since been In Strengthened cir
cumstences. A close personal friend
says that the Governor has at times
been reduced to the necessity Of walk
ing up and down town to and from his
office to save carfare. He has no ex-
pensive habits and has lived In
most economical fashion in a brave
struggle to make a new start in life.
His friends say he has been uncom-
planning and few of his associates have
known of his financial difficulties.
The case of Mr.. Campbell recalls to
former residents OF Ohio the hard
luck that has followed some other
former Governors and prominent pol
itlclans of that State. Charles Foster,
who was Governor and afterward Sec.
retnry of the Treasury, some time ago
met with business reverses that left
him in very reduced circumstances.
Foster began life as a dry goods mer-
chant and after he became prominent
in politics was known as calico

PROJECT
OF Building viaduct
Across Mill Street Rail-
road Crossing
Is Again Being Agitated
by Officials.
Pennsylvania Anxious TO Have
1t Constructed.
Civil Engineer Will Prepare Plans
and Estimate Of Cost.

The project of constructing a $780,
600 iron and steel viaduct over the
railroads at the Mill st. crossing, which
has been under consideration for the
past year, is again being agitated and
in all probability the various rail-
road companies and city officials will
soon reach a satisfactory agreement,
and work commenced in its construc-
ton early in the coming year.
Thursday morning, Mr.. ii. w. Byers,
superintendent of the c., A. & q. di-
vision Of the Pennsylvania Railroad
company, held a lengthy conference
with City Commissionet A. T. P.Nige,
the president of the Board in relation
to the matter.
Commissioner Paige informed a
Democrat reporter that Supt. Byers is
very anxious to have the vladuct con,
structed across Mill st. crossing, and
was Of the opinion that the other
railroad companies would agree TO
stand their share of the expense in
building it. Supt Byers informed
Commissioner Paige that he would
confer with the officials of the other
/ roads at once in regard to the project,
and requested the Board to furnish
plans and estimates Of the cost of the
viaduct.
Several months ago, the City En-
gineer had prepared a plan and draw
ings of the kind of viaduct necessary
to be constructed, but the papers were
destroyed when the old City building
was burned during the riot. However
Civil Engineer John w. Payne was
again instructed to prepare new plans
and estimates at once.
The proposed viaduct will be 600
feet in length, extending from Sum-
nit street east across the tracks to
the alley between College and Lincoln
SITS. 1t will be the width of the street.
! Friday the members Of the Board of
City Commissioners and Civil Engineer
Payne will go to Cleveland and visit
a number of bridge companies in re.
gard to the viaduct and also secure
prices on material for bridges pro.
posed to be constructed across the
canal in extending Falor ST., as well
ms the one to be built across the Little
Cuyahoga river on Cuyahoga st.

far as gold is concerned. l am now
on my way to Antwerp, Belgium, to
attend the annual meeting of my COM
pany. One year ago while In Europe,

am also interested in an English
company with headquarters in London
expect to return to Alaska about
March l. Next year our company will
build two railroad spurs, each 10 miles
In length, into the new country. l an
ticipate that at least 200 miles OF
railroad will be built in Alaska next
year."
Mr.. Allies stated that the recent

suffer for the want of fuel the next
few months.

He said they weighed 5000 10 inc
ounce and the flask was worth 500

With a dozen companions he was playing
ball in the yard of his house. The ball was
knocked over the fence into the rear Of No

Webber was called upon to search for it.
He climbed over the fence and reached a
one-story extension of the Turkish bath es-
tablishment at No. g orchard street. Thence
he jumped upon the cover of a tank In the
Orchard street yard. This tank is ten feet
deep and six feet in diameter. and IS used
to heat water for the baths.

weight and he was precipltated into :he
steanling water His cries brought his COM
