Matter Of Lighting East Market Street
Postponed.

The City Council, by vote Of eight
to three at Monday nights meeting,
decided to purchase two fire engines,
one aerial truck and two combination
fCse carts, as recommended by the
Board Of City Commissioners FIVE
weeks ago.
After the fire and water committee

tions to contract with the American
Fire Engine Company for one metro
rolitan engine; the Thomas Manning
Co., for one Manning engine; the Fire
Extinguisher Company for one aerial
truck and the Holloway Company, for
two combination hose carts, Council
man Brady arose and said he would
favor the passage of the resolutions,
provided the city would execute its
promises to build fire station in the
old Fifth ward at corner of Wooster
avenue and Water streets.
Commissioner Paige said the Board
Of City Commissioners favored the
building of fire station in the old
Fifth ward.
Councilmen Paul, Merz, and Fiebeg-
er voted against the purchase of new
fire apparatus at the bids submitted
snd believed the city should re-adver-
tse.
The vote stood: Ayes-Brady, Brodt,
Brown, Koons, Mason, Markle, Piske,
Rice. Nays-Fiebeger, Merz, Paul.
Absent--Sorrick.
| AGREED To POSTPONE.
BY mutual request of the attorneys
representing the Wellsbach Gas Light
ing Company and the Northern Ohio
Traction Co., the proposition Of light
ing Fast Market street with gas was
continued for two weeks. Councilman
AIarkle stated that every member of
the Council should thoroughly inves-
tigate the. matter and he moved that
the City Clerk be instructed to write to
cities now using the Wellsbach gas
lights for information.
ORDINANCES PASSED.
The franchise ordinance granting
permission to the Northern Ohio Trac-
ton company to extend it's tracks on
West Market street from Cobb avenue
west to the city limits, petitioned for
by over one-half Of the property own
ers, was read and passed under sus-
pension of the rules. An ordinance to
change the name of Bare street to

neglect of his wife. Three or four
other witnesses were examined and
several dispositions were offered in evi-
depce.
Judge Kohler said last night that
Mrs. McIIisson would receive alimony,
the amount having been agreed upon
out of court.
The McKisson divorce proceedings
will cause great deal of sensation
in Cleveland, although there have been
rumors in the past that the ex-mayor
and his wife did not get along AMIGA
bly, together and that divorce proceed
ings might be instituted. A year ago
last spring when Mr.. McKisson was
candidate for reelection for mayor, the
report was quite generally circulated
that there were domestic difficulties
in the McKisson family and that Mrs.
McKisson would begin divorce pro-
ceedings. The report was Indignantly
denied, however, by both McKisson
and his wife. The denial led to the
supposition that the report was simply
a campaign yarn.
1t was reported last night that Mr..
McKisson will soon marry well
known West Side lady.
At Mr.. McKisson's residence at No.
81, Tilden ave-, 1t was said last night
that both the ex-Mayor and bis wife
were out Of the city and their where
abouts could not be learned.

BROKE FAITH
Ten Inch Mill in Diamond
State Plant Started Up
This Morning

There was a slight and agitatlng
change in the labor trouble in
the Diamond State Company's
mills by the starting up o;
the ten-inch mill this morning.
The strikers, while making no violent
demonstration, are bitter in their de-
nunciation of Simms Gibeson who
lead the men into the mill this morn
ing. Police were on hand early but
there was no violence offered and the
committee representing the strikers
say sthat there will be no violence.
The strikers as a body remain firm
but Simms GibesOn who quit with
them and who poverty has not driven
to work, was the man who is alleged
to have made the first break in the
cOntending workmen. He is said to
have made an average Of $50 week
and that there was no excuse for him
giving in.
Besides Simon Gibeson, roller, the
men who are accused of breaking
faith with the strikers are Frank Man
ming, Dennis Joyce, Mr.. HarbOlt Will
liam Harrington, Horace Gibeson and
colored man named "TObe" John
son. The strikers say that the starting
up Of the ten-inch mill does not cutany

SENATOR HANNNS WORK

Republicans will welcome the pres
ence Of Senator Hanna, chairman of
the Republican National Committee, in
Delaware. His mission, if he
comes, will be in behalf OF
Republican harmony and vic
tory and they are sincerely desirous of
both. But It must be harmony with
honor and victory without shame.
There must be no negotiations which
embody the election Of an Addicks
creature TO the Office of governor or Of
Addicks or one Of his creatures to the
United States Senate. Upon those two
points the Republicans are determined
to stand at any cost, for they place a
high value upon tiFir sense of self-re-
spect, and must sustain their reputa-
ton for decency and consistency which
has supported them in their contest
against Addicksism ever since that evil
became an issue which prevented them
from presenting an unbroken front to
their natural enemies, the Democrats.
Senator Hanna is interested particu.
larly in. the national ticket Repubh
cans and Union Republicans are unite'
on presidential electors of Republican
selection. That insures the three elec
toral votes OF Delaware to Presiden
Mckinley, all that It can give him un

sentative in Congress the Republican
have nominated Former Representativ
Jonathan S. Willis, to whom the Unio
Republicans can offer no valid obieS

There is a well-dehned arrangement
among certain Democratic leaders in
New Castle county to shelve Speaker
Of the Senate Charles II. Salmons, of
Pencader hundred. He wants the nomi-
nation for acknowledgements, but the
word has gone out that, for the sake
of the candidates for governor and at
torney-general, the place on the ticket
must be thrown as a sop to some as
piring son of Kent or Sussex. Just
how Mr.. Salmons will regard this plan
and what steps he will take to pre-
vent its contamination is a question.
He is a power in the Pencader hun
dred senatorial district, and but for
him and a few Addicks workers the
Democrats would not have carried it
two years ago. But the powers have
set the machine in motion against him,
and the probabilities are that he will
be compelled to remain at home in
stead Of resuming the chair Of the pre-
siding officer Of the Senate.

ACCIDENT ON A TRUCK BOAT
Mysterious Explosion on PennSyilIe

On Saturday an explosion took place
on the naptha launch Ralph W., at the

The launch had been out of order for
several trips and Charles Bright, of
Pennsville, owner and captain of the
launch had a machinist repair the
Globe engine. After repairs were made
the motor was started up an the ex-
plosion occurred. The cause of the ex-
plosion is a mystery as it was not the
gasoline that exploded. There seemed
to be some obstruction in one Of the
main pipes and the force Of the ex-
plosion tore Off a heavy iron strap and
hurled it with great force up against
the ceiling Of the cabin. The strap
was secured by strong bolts but the
force Of the blow-up tore the bolts

WAR REPORT IS DlscREnlIEn

Nothing has been received officially
at Washington to bear out the accu-
racy of a report from Che-Foo that
Russia, Germany and Japan had de-
clared war on China and the report is
discredited. There is also no confrma-
ton Of the departure of forty Ameri-

The large base hospital that was pro-
iected by the government at Nagasaki,
Japan, has been abandoned, and the

have gone there will be treated in the
general hospital at the Preside at San
Francisco.
According to a special dispatch from
Berlin, Germany has not received any
proposals or suggestions from the
United States for an international con-
ference. The foreign officers considered
the idea OF such a conference as prema-
ture, and desire the allied commanders
to exercise control in Pel1in and the oc-
cupied parts Of China until Field
Marshal Count Won Waldersee shall
have assumed command.
The generally well informed Vedo-
mosti Of st. Petersburg, says it is the
opinion in diplomatic quarters there
that the withdrawal of the allies from
Pekin, now that the foreigners have
been rescued, would facilitate peace ne
