IN ICE WATER
OF the Ohio, Bob Reed Struggles and Is
Rescued.

While the street corners were still
occupied by small knots of men who
had stopped for moments conversa-
ton before proceeding homeward,
mating from the vicinity of the ferry
float in the Ohio, startled people who
were two or three blocks away on eth
er Front. Second or Greene streets,
about 10 O'Clock Tuesday night. Ev-
eryone within hearing of the frenzied
appeals for help hurried to the waters
edge at the foot of Front street and in
the dusk the figure of man, being
rapidly swept along by the strong
current of the Ohio could just be dis
cerned.
No means of rescue seemed to be a.
hand, as there were no boats moored
TO bank in that vicinity and apparently
nothing else at hand to throw him to
stop him from being swept to the mid
die of the rapid Ohio. When the strug-
CLING man was carried past the sewer
which comes to the river a short dis
tance below the Clay City hotel the
cries for help ceased and it was sup.
posed that he was drowned.
By this time the river bank was
reached by Philip Bules and Babe Uhl
the latter of whom carried in his hand
a spike pole about 20 feet long. The
man was reached this support and was
drawn to the shore by Messrs. Bules
and Uhl, who were brave enough to
wade out in the water.
The man was found to be one Bob
Reed, of Beaumont, an oil well shooter
in the employ of the Milliken French
Torpedo Co He was under the influ-
ence of liquor and had gone to the
ferry float and stumbled off into the
water when rescued from his danger
GUS predicament. Reed was taken to
the Office of the Humes Torpedo Co.,
where with massage treatment and a
copious use of stimulanta he was fin
ally brought to more sensible condi-
ton. Reed was dressed in heavy
clothes, wore boots and in addition 10
these imDediments was about drunk
1t is truly remarkable that under these
circumstances he should have kept
himself afoat in the icy waters for sc
long a period. Reed is suffering from
grippe and the result of the icy bath
remains yet to be seen.

CITY COUNCIL
Transacted Considerable Business at the
Regular Meeting Tuesday Night,

The City Fathers convened in regu.

COMMITTEE REUORTS.
Mr.. Toller, reporting for the Rail-
road committee. said that the delay to
which the East Side fire department
was subjected to by the Pennsylvania
railroad while switching cars across
Fourth street, had been investigated
by the committee and that the agent,
Mr.. Adams. claimed that the depart
ment was compelled to wait only 30
seconds by actual record; further that
a mis-couple in the cars pushed one
across the street, thus blockading the
thoroughfare.
Mr.. Marsch, for the Light committee
reported gratifying progress in the
work of setting up the new engines
and connecting up the machinery.
The committee of the whole which
was called some time ago for the pur-
pose of viewing the Reiter subdivision
plat, was dissatisfied with several of
the arrangements, especially because
the adoption of the plat would entail
the construction of culvert and GER
tain amount of grading at the city's
expense. An article, by the terms of
which Mr.. Reiter bound himself to pay
$500 into the citys fund as soon as the
culvert was completed, was read by the
Clerk. The signatures of John II
Riley and Strecker Bros. were affixed
to the instrument, each one of the two
parties covenanting to pay $50 accord
ing to the terms of the above agree
ment. Mr. Plumer's motion to refer
the entire matter to the CITY SoNc.sor

SPECIAL MEL
SIDEWALK IMPROVEMENT.

Mr.. Eveleigh urged upon Council the
necessity of improving the sidewalks
along the northern side of Seventh
street from Charles to Greene. AS the
City Commissioner declared that there
were no available clnders in the city,
the proposition was made that planks
be laid along the bad parts of the
walk. The suggestion was made thai
cinders could be secured at'the plant of
the Acme Brick Co. in Norwood. Mr.
Kerns therefore moved that the walk
be improved with cinders. Carried.
Mr.. Plumer reported that the side
walk at the northern end of the street

ing.
Mr.. Lorentz stated that according to
the City Engineers estimate the bid OF
Adams Bros. was 5000 lower than the
corresponding bid Of Mr.. Wilking, and
therefore made a motion that the con-
tract be awarded to Adams Bros, the
Solicitor to draw uD the necessary
agreement.
Mr.. Marsch thought that the speci-
fications should be more closely exam
ined in order that there might not be
a repetition of the Darrow case.
The City Solicitor thought Mr..
Marsch's suggestion very timely, and
that a municipal corporation was eX-

tract of this kind where only the labor
and the material were furnished by the
contractor. The Darrow case, where
the work was done under the imme-
dlate direction of the City Engineer by
virtue of which act the city sanctioned
the contractors course. was an ex-
ample and a costly one for guidance in
/ the present case. Finally he would
/ recommend that action be deferred and
/ the bids be refused unil the necessary
/ changes were made in the specifica-
/ tions.
Mr. Mason said that the speciica-
tions which formed the basis for the
| barrow claims against the city were
only duplication Of those in use in
the cities all over the country. In the
1 contracts with T. B. Townsend the
same specifications were used, but nc
trouble was experienced. He could
not, therefore. understand why there
should be a dispute in either of the
/ latter instances.
The general sentiment of Council
being that action in the matter would
be better deferred for some time. Mr.
Lorentz withdrew his motion. Mr.
! Marsch then offered motion that all

pleted the formality by suggesting
that the certified checks OF Adams

to them. This was ordered done,
Mr.. Marsch moved chat the City So
licitor in conjunction with the Sewer
committee and the City Engineer be
instructed to revise the specifications
The motion obtained.
RENEWED DELAY IN REGARD TO
GUIDE PIER.
Mr. Marsch, reporting in the absence
of the Bridge committee chairman
stated that the committee had met, but
the entire affair had ben left in the
hands of the chairman. The bids of
John Wilking and Adams Bros. were
the lowest of all submitted 1t was de-
termined to return the bids of P. @.

The Engineer stated that he had sent
guide pier to the Engineer in Pitts
burg and reply had been received
from that official to the effect that he
would give his sanction to the propos
ed plans if provision would be made to
keep the water from penetrating
through the pier. Mr.. Marsch accord
ingly asked for one weeks more time.
The request was complied with.
