Erie's President Is Making
Changes.

President L. ID. Underwood will
make many changes on the Erie sys-
ten. He has abolished the office of
general superintendent of the Ohio
division, and y. NJ. Mozier, bright
and able railroad man, has been as
signed to duties in the operating de-
partment. The duties of the Office
have been assumed by H. E. Gilpin,
assistant general manager, and George
van Keuren, general superintendent
of transportation. 1t is now announced
that after many inspections of the
Erie railroad, and careful considera-
tion of its resources, President Under
wood has decided that at least $7OO,.
600 can be saved annually by abolish
ing certain offices. He is opposed to
having a larger number of high sal
aried officials than necessary. When
a road has more vice presidents and
general managers than section men.

NOVELTY.
New Jail OnlyOne
Of Its Kind.
Conveniently Arranged
and Impregnable.
Plenty Of Air and Light
For Prisoners.
Plans Commended by State
Board of Charities.

Prisoners in the new Summit county
Jail, when it Is complete will have a
temporary home second to none of It's
kind in the United States. Each pris
oner will be able to see out and find
out just what the outside world and
the free air is like, and will have a
window that can be opened without
a chance Of his getting away. These
windows all open on a central court
and are the inlets for the light that
feeds the entire interior of the jail, ac-
cording to the plans now being finish
ed by Architect +. o. Weary. The
central inner court will have no roof
and will enable the prisoners to have
the air as well as the light.
Between the captive and the actual
court will be two screens, besides the
window, which can be opened OF shut
by the guard or deputy without the
possibility of interference by the pris-
oner.
BY an ingenious arrangement prison
ers may all take the air at the same
time, from their windows, and yet no
one of them will be able to see any
other who is in captivity at the same
time.
On the third floor will be double row
of larger cells than those on the other
two floors. These will be reserved for
women, prisoners detained for minor
offenses, or any persons whom the
Sheriff may not wish to have among
the rows of cells reserved for more
desperate characters.
The Jail will have normal capacity
of SO cells. Provision is made for n
hospital, baths. toilets, wash bowls,
places for washing clothes and will be
n model of foresight and convenience.
The interior is arranged so that es-
cape will be apparently impossible
and the outer walls are so planned
that the place will he a fortress. Tow
ers at the corners enable enfilading
each side. Port holes for guards or
soldiers. If necessary. are arranged
and it is safe to say that repetition
of last years performance would be
successful at the new Jail only after
a protracted siege.
The plans have the warm endorse
ment Of the State Board of Charities.

Washington, Sept. 6.--The state de-

to extend an Invitation to the Duke

of this action. President Buchanan
now has the letter in his possession,

The duke and duchess are making a

are now in Canada. 1t has been an,

TALKED OF JOHN WESLEY.
Secretary OF Sunday League OF
America at Wesley Church.

Secretary OF sunday League of
America at Wesley Church.
The annual meeting and election of Of
ficers of the Union of Epworth Leagues
was held last night at Wesley Monumen-
tai Church. Rev. Edward Thomson, d. D.,
general secretary of the Sunday League
of America also lectured on John Wes-
ley.
The following League officers were
unanimously elected:
Presidential. l.. NJ. Parks of Wesley
League.
First Vice President-w. Q. Hughes of
Grace League.
Second Vice President-Miss Fannie
Dorsett of Trinity League.
Third Vice President-C. p. Miller of
Trinity League.
Fourth Vice Presdent-Miss Lottie Nc
Donald OF Wesley League.
Secretary and Treasurer-W. II. Fifer
of Epworth League.
1t had been intended to discuss the
coming state conference, but owing 10
the lateness of the hour when the election
was over it was decided not 90 bring up
the matter, but rather to hear Dr. Thorn
son.
IL was peculiarly appropriate. said DR.
Thomson, to speak of Wesley in church
he spent so many years OF his life In the
chosen field of his mission.
The lecture was quite a complete one
embracing as il did Wesley's entire life,
treating in detail his education, his dis
tinguished attachments, magnetism and
eloquence all of which, said the speaker
Wesley had devoted to the work of God.
Speaking of WesIey's work in England,
DIR. Thomson said that though Wesley had
49,. H. D.
ing, yet when the doors of the church
were closed against him he did not hest
tate to go out to the people, and, like
his great master, some of his greatest
thoughts were expressed in the fields,
where they could be heard by rich and
poor alike Wesley overcame all obsta
Giles: books were needed for his work and
could not readily be had he wrote them,
and through them made knowledge popu-
lar. During his busy life he wrote more
than 200 works, besides innumerable tracts.
He was the first man to write for the
millions, and 10 make his works accessi-
Bile to ALL he was the father OF modern
literature.
zone hundred years before the birth Of
Prohibition he Numbered his philippics
against the liquor trade; seventeen years
before the formation of the London Tract
Society, John Wesley was writing and
sdhding out his tracts. He also establish
ed the first free medical pharmacy in the
world. His motto was get all you can;
save all you can; give all you can. During
the last fifty years of his life he gave
away $3.50 900, no small fortune in those
days"
After a description OF Wesley's death,
DR.. Thomson closed his address by saying
that Methodism is one OF the marvels of
the age. that John Wesley was the
father of it all. and that the work os-
tablished by him will go on while the
world endures.

the opportunity comes she will leave Sa-

she had been there once and did not care
to embarrass her relatives by remaining

claims of Collinsville property owners
for compensation for the opening of
streets, was postponed yesterday. The
meeting was 90 have been held in the
afternoon at the City Exchange, and Mr..
]. S. Collins was to have appeared for
the property owners. 1t was decided how
ever, to postpone the meeting. 1t is not
known when it will be held, as the post
ponement was indefinite.
The postponement of the meeting takes
the matter out of the hands of the pres
ent Board of Aldermen. 1t will remain
for the new board to handle. One of the
members of the committee said that he
saw no reason why the committee APP
pointed from the present board should
act. All it could do would be to make a
recommendation TO the new board, which,
probably might prefer to make an inves-
tigation itself before taking any action.
