The Proper Time
Comes,

The Spanish cannon that Is on the

the biggest Fourth of July celebration
Canton or any other city has had will
have been consummated in this city,
has not been fired since it was received
here. 1t has been fenced in and no small
boy has even been permitted to touch
off flrecracker in it's muzzle. This is all
for the best, as shown by thesexperience
of the people of Clarksburg, w. Va,
a night or two ago. A special from that
city says:
The big Spanish cannon captured by
Admiral Dewey at Manila, which is
mounted in the park here, was discharg-
ed by unknown persons early this morn
ing. The. report was heard all over
the city. The cannon was knocked from
its foundation, completely wrecking the
carriage. Mrs. Dowd's house was badly
damaged, every window being broken
and the doors torn from their hinges
by the concussion. The inmates were
greatly frightened and rushed about the
streets in their night clothes. Threats
had been made against the resort, and
they supposed some one had attempted
to kill them with dynamite. 1t is
thought, however, the cannon was fired
by mischevious boys.

MAY NOT CONSTRUCT IT.
Alliance and Salem Road Is Not
a Certainty During This
Season.

Alliance Review: There is consider
able speculation in this city relative to
the Alliance, Sebring and Salem electric
railway project, which was much talked
about last fall. October II, 1899, the
Salem council granted the company a
preliminary franchise and No. 2 grant
ed an iron-clad franchise. One section
of the franchise stipulates that work
must be begun on the line within six
months of date of passage of the fran
chise ordinance. Holding the company
to this contract it is evident that con-
struction work of some kind must be
done before May 2. 1t seems as If no
work will be done before that date, in
consequence of which the franchise
would become null and void. In fact
the company, which is composed of
Pittsburg promoters, does not expect to
begin work before May 2. They, the
promoters, have a plan to ask further
from the council.
