dent has commuted to life imprison-
ment, the death sentence of Private
John H. Schmidt, of Company A, 36th
infantry, U. s. w., who was convicted

been sentenced to death by court mar
tials for murder, desertion, or other
offenses made capital by articles of war
but in every such case executive Glenn
ency has been extended.

THE ERIE RAILROAD
Has Arranged to Enter the Union
Depot at Akron.


Akron, o., March 19.--It is generally
understood among the railroad men in
this city that the Erie Railroad com.
pany and other local lines have reached
an agreement relative to the removal
of the Erie ticket ofilces to the Union
depot. No Official information has
been given out, but the change is ex.
pected to take place before May 1. The.
Erie has maintained. an independent
passenger station here ever since the
road was built, In spite of the frequent
attempts of the interested companies
to effect q combination. The Erie has
been driven at last to make the change
because Of the imperative demand OF
its freight department for more room

Says Superintendent,

And to Maintain Them at
the Same Time--
missioners
Report.

In his annual report which was sub
mitted to the city council at its Mon
day night meeting, Park Superinten-
dent F. M. Reed stated in emphatic
terms that the appropriation of $4,000,
which is the amount set apart each year
for the maintainence and improvement
of the parks, is not enough for both
purposes. 1t is all he can do to main
tain the parks as they should be kept
with that amount. He further adds
that the citizens must not expect the
improvements, unless they make some
other arrangements whereby he can be
allowed either a larger appropriation
each year, or increase the park fund
from other sources. All the work dur
ing the past year, according to the re-
port made by Mr.. Reed, has consisted
only of maintaining the. parks as they
now exist, and this is because of the
above named reasons.
To obviate this in the future he urged
that both a larger appropriation be
made by council for park purposes, and
that the citizens find other sources of
revenue for the park fund.
Mr.. Reed called attention of the coun-
Gil to the fact that numerous petty
depredations have been made in the
parks during the past year in the way
of stealing of flowers and plants.
"While the parks belong to the people"
said he in the report, still they are
there for recreation only, and the peo-
ple should remember that the plants
and flowers should not be tempered
with or taken away for individual use. ;"
