Jacksonville, Fla, May S.-The al
most superhuman work OF the differ.
ent departments has somewhat re-
lieved the situation and 1t is now be-
lieved that in every instance those
without proper food and clothing were
in a measure provided for, and that
last night there was vastly fewer peo-
pie who were compelled to sleep upon
the streets.
About 200 tents were erected, and
while they were very crowded last
night and while several churches and
school houses in the suburbs also
were crowded with sleepers, this con-
dition also may be relieved today by
the arrival of about 1000 tents from
the general government at Washing
ton, which Chairman Bours, Of the
housing committee, will have erected
at once. The military companies
have been Of great assistance to Mr..
Bours, with their experience in rap
idly erecting tents, and before tonight
there may be several tented villages
in the city with cots and blankets,
and water supply in almost, every
village for the sufferers. Today there
also may be provided several extra
commissary stations in various parts
of the city to relieve the situation
at the two already established, and
likely there may be one in each viii
lage Of tents. There has been no out
break of sickness in the city and the
several cases Of nervous prostration
which have been reported are now
well on the way to recovery.
Thousands of people have left the
city. Those remaining will be able
to receive some kind of labor at the
bureaus which have been established.
The cleaning up of the streets has
been going on rapidly. No more dead
bodies were found, though a sys.
tematic search had not begun.

peared at the mayors Office and de-
manded the reason that he had not sent

Ice and they had assured him that the

Miss Foverand told the mayor that
she knew better. She accused him and
Marshal Bour of attempting to shield
the man.
Marshal Bour agreed 10 go to-Glcve-
land at once if she would pay his ex-
penses. Tho young woman at once pro-
dhced the money and the marshal set

Many Belt Lines and Connecting Links to Form
New System.
The COMPANIES PLANS ARE OUTLINED
Cities and Towns
--Good Roadbed and Fine Bridges BE Con-
structed- Ample Capital Said to Be
Back Of >

The Fort Wayne Belt and Terminal
system is part of the stupendous plan
in modern railroad enterprises which
Lad it's inception few months ago and
was given definite shape at a meeting
held in Mansfield. 1t contemplates the
purchase and construction of Ohio lines
together with the Findlay, Fort Wayne
and Western, to the end that there will
ultimately be a new trunk line between
Fort Wayne and Pittsburg.
The Fort Wayne Belt and Terminal
will build a new passenger station at
Fort Wayne for the use of the Chicago
Short Line railway, the Nickle Plate
railway. the Fort Wayne branch of the
Lake Shore and the Fort Wayne branch
of the Lake Erie and Western.
c. w. French, of Mansfield, who is
in Canton, is chairman of the board
of directors of the Fort Wayne Belt
and Terminal. A. A. Purman, who is
president of the Fort Wayne Belt and
Terminal. is vice president of the Chi
cago Short Line railway. He is also a
director in the Richland and Mahoning
and in the Youngstown and Cleveland
railways.
Mr. French when seen by a represen-
tative of the News.Democrat today,
said: Il am in Canton in the interest
of the helt lines. A meeting of the
board of trade will be called within
the next few days to discuss the belt
line project. The purpose is to secure
aid in procuring the right of way for
the belt line road"
THE SYSTEM OUTLINED.
The plans of the system are thus
told by Mr.. French: The Richland
& Mahoning railway company will
build two divisions of railroad across
Ohio. The southern division will start
at point on the Pittsburg and Lake
Erie railroad near Beaver Falls, Pa,
and run west through Salem, Alliance,
Canton. Massillon and Wooster to
Mansfield. The north division is to
begin at the end of the Pittsburg and
Lake Erie line near Youngstown, Ohio,
and run west TO Akron. From Akron
the Richland and Mahoning will buy a
80 year lease on the Northern Ohio
railroad to Delphos. The two divisions
will converge at a point near New
Washington, Ohio.
The Richland and Mahoning will
build practically air lines on low grades
and with few railway grade crossings.
On the northern division the stone and
steel bridges will be for double track.
The Northern Ohio line will be relaid
with 90 pound steel from Akron to Ca
Iey, Ohio, and new bridges of stone
and steel built.

There is nothing in the charter to

Capitalization Of Demo-

TICKET TALKED OF
Excellent Opportunity for DEM

Arc No Squabbles--
Convention Plan.

The result of the Republican primar-
les, Saturday, has had tendency to
crystalline Democratic sentiment in the
county for a strong, well balanced,
equitably distributed tket with which
to go to the people of the county and
ask for their suffrage.
Many Democrats from over the coun-
ty were in the, city Wednesday and
there was an opportunity to talk with a
number of leaders in their various pre-
cincts and some were present from
cities in the county, who believe that
a united effort will bring victory 20
the Democratic banner this fall. 1t Is
the opinion of those to whom News.
Democrat reporters talked that good
ticket ought to be made winning tick
ct and with that end in view they have
been figuring over the matter.
A group Of Democrats from the outer
precincts were standing on the square,
discussing the question about noon,
Wednesday, and there seemed to be a
unanimity of opinion that ticket
composed of Squire Henry w. Hossler,
of Plain township, for treasurer, Major
c. c. Weybrecht, Of Alliance, for sher-
III Eu. u. MSyci, VI Sdhtoh Whohip,
for auditor and Charles l.. Oberly, of
Canton. for clerk, with the remaining
candidates to be nominated apportion-
ed to the other parts Of the county,
would be successful at the polls. In
fact this ticket was talked of very gen.
orally on the street.
Attorney Otto e. Young, of Massil-
lon, was in the city and said he thought
the ticket ought to be strong and well
distributed. He thought there should
be no squabbles for the nomination,
but that If the Democrats would just
get together in convention and name
a ticket correct geographically and in
every other particular, the battle would
be won. He said that there ought to
be a convention instead Of primary
this year and that better results would
follow the convention plan.
Others talked in the same vein. All
who were seen felt greatly encouraged
at the outlook. especially in view OF
the fact that there has been so much
dissatisfaction in connection with the
handling of county affairs in some of
the important Offices in the court
house.
