About Sword Contest
Behind the Scenes.
John Griffith Attacked by Member Of
His Company.

The John Griffiths company recently
apeared in Akron at the Grand opera
house.
One of the features Of the drama Of
Spartacus Is the broad swords con.
test. This act developed into the real
thing at New Albany last night.
A special from that place says:
A gladatorlal contest which was only
too real occurred ON the stage Of the
local opera house Monday night when
John Fay Palmer of Cleveland, the
leading supporter of John Griflths In
"Spartacus the Gladiator" made a
sensational assault on Griffiths with
a sword cane. Grlffiths dlsarmed him
and knocked him down three times.
The assault occurred Just before the
curtain went up on the performance.
All the rest Of the aggregation had
made up. and were waiting for Pal
mer. According to the testimony at
a preliminary hearing, soon after Pal
mer appeared, he Is alleged to have
begun beating his wife and at the re.
quest of Mrs. Griffiths, Griffiths in
terfered. He first begged Palmer to
desist and when the latter refused to
do so Griffiths compelled him to leave
the dressing room.
They ascended to the stage and a
minute later Palmer, it is alleged,
rushed at Griffiths with a sword cane,
striking him heavy blow on the
head He, it is said, then released the
sword and rushed at Griffiths but the
latter managed to get him by the
wrist and disarm his, although his
finger was slightly cut in so doing.
He then knocked Palmer down three
times. By this time policeman had
arrived and arrested Palmer.
The audience in the meanwhile had
heard the blows and threats and were
greatly excited. Palmer was held un.
der $500 bond to answer on the charge
of assault with intent.
Both Mrs. Griftiths and Mrs. Palmer
are members of the cast. The audi
ence was dismissed

Civil Engineer Authorized to Prepare
Maps and PIats of Districts.

At the meeting of the City Council
Monday evening, City Solititor Esgate
on behalf Of the Sewer and Water
committee recommended that the ques-
tion of future sewerage for the city
be taken up at once and that the
Civil Engineer should prepare maps
or plats showing the location, Of the
main trunk sewers of the city.
Prior to preparing its report the COM
mittee, consisting of Councilmen
Markle, Rice and Brown, made trip
to Toledo to investigate the sewerage
and other municipal systems in that
city. The committee was accompanied
by Councilman Brady, City Solicitor
Esgate and Civil Engineer Payne.
Solititor Esgate, acting as chairman
of the committee, stated that in many
things Toledo was behind Akron in
municipal improvements. Her streets
were very muddy, the paving very
poor and the fire department service
slow, behind the times and not to be
compared with Akron's department.
On the sewer question Toledo was up
to-date. One large main trunk sewer
extends the entire length of the city
and into it empties the main trunk
sewer empties into the Maumee sew
eral miles below the city.
1--WE deem it advisable" said So
llcitor Esgate," that the Sewer COM
mittee of this Council should take up
the question at once Of making a main
sewer district for Akron, and that the
Civil Engineer should prepare maps,
plats, etc, Of the present sewer sys-
TEN as a basis to work upon.
"The question of vital importance
for a city's sewer system, is where
does the sewage go to? Under the
present system this question cannot be
answered. A city without sewerage
and n proper outlet is death trap"
Councilman Rooms moved that the
report of the committee be adopted.
1t was carried.
CITIZENS COMPLAIN.
Councilman Markle-"Many COM
plants have been made by Akron res
idents during the past two weeks, who
are users of the natural gas furnished
by the East Ohio Gas company. On
several occasions the gas has been
turned off and then turned on again
without giving the consumers due no.
tce, and several persons have mar
rowly escaped death from asphyxia-
ton. Some action should be taken on
behalf Of the city to have the COM
pany remedy this condition of affairs"
President Fiebeger referred the matter
to the City Commissioners.
PETITIONS.
Councilman Paul-An additional
light is wanted on Forge ST., at inter
section of railroads east of tracks.
Also a pair of scales on Orleans ave.
should be removed. Residents on
Portage ST., between Exchange and
Willow SITS, want street improved.
Councilman Markle-A vapor light
has been removed from East Hazel
st. 1t should be replaced.
Councilman Mason-The residents on
Campbell st. ask for electric lights.

There's nothin like farmin on a hill
side" said the man with the faded hair
during a pause in the conversation, 'if
you pick out a good location"
"Do you mean TO say" they asked
him, that you ever worked on hill
side farm or anywhere else?"
"Who said anything about workin ~
he rejoined. Il said hillside farmn
was all right If you picked out a good
location. | had a location right down
below a 40 acre farm where a feller
put in one whole summer raisin melons

Mr.. Tom l.. johnson in recent lecture

merely the public ownership of munich
pal railroads, but the making of transit
free to the public, paying the whole
expense from taxation. Now, il Mr..
Johnson seriously believes in this brand
of socialism, he cannot do better than
advocate it often. Nothing would more
rapidly determine his place as a leader
in social reform When millionaires
want to confiscate other peoples prop
erty and cling to their own, they are apt
to be misunderstood. A supreme test
for this class OF cases was propounded
nearly two thousand years ago. 1t was:
zone thing thou lackest: go thy way,
sell whatever thou hast, and give to the
poor" The young man to whom the
test was thus applied went away griev-
ed, for he had great possessions"
The test is severe but infallible. 1t
