FRANCHISE
GRANTED
The Louisville Council
Passes Ordinance.
FINAL ACTION TAKEN
Supplemental Ordina nee viii
Grant Further Rights to
Canton-AlIiance
Line.

r. r. Jacobs and Mr. Hazard, rep
resenting the Canton.Alliance electric
railway, met with the council of the
village of Louisville Monday night in
the interests of a franchise for the
road through that village. The ordi.
nance had been read twice at former
meetings and was ready for the third
reading and final action.
When the matter came before the
body Monday night, the franchise was
granted without any hesitation. 1t
only gives the company the right of
way over Main street, but an ordi-
nance was introduced giving it the
tight to build also over Nickle Plate
street, and Councilman J. f. Bauman,
Of Louisville, stated that there was no
doubt but that this supplemental ordi-
nance would be passed at the next
meeting of the council. The only con-
ditions attached to the franchise are
that the work of construction begin by
July /, and that the entire line be
completed within the year. The citi.
zens Of that town are eager for the
erection of a line that will give them
direct communication with Canton.

NO STAMPS NEEDED.
Section Of the Law Requiring
Stamps on Export Bills Of
Lading Unconstitutional.

The collector of internal revenue at
the Cleveland Office has just been in
formed that hereafter stamps need not
be affixed to export bills of lading. Up
to this time the law required a 10-cent
stamp to be attached to all export bills
of lading, but the United States supreme
court has decided this section of the
law to be unconstitutional.
Many shippers are interested in this
decision, as there is much exporting,
especially to Canada. Railroad com
panies are especially interested, as in
most cases they stood for the stamps.

U. S. STEEL SALES.
About 64a,000 Shares Sold Tuesday.
Atohisons Were a Strong
Feature.

New York, May 1.-The aggregate
of sales of all stocks Tuesday went
ahead of Mondays hitherto unprece-
deted total. rising to about 1902
100 shares. Last Wednesdays record
sales Of q single stock, which were
about 662,800 shares for Union Pa
cific. compared with Tuesdays
sales of about 459,100 shares of
United States Steel The aggregate
sales of both the common and pre-
ferred stock of United States Steel
amounted Tuesday to about 64S,00O
shares. Another record which was
eclipsed Tuesday was that for sin
gle hours business, sales for the first
hour amounting to over million
shares. against the previous maxi
mum of less than 100000 shares.
The announcement Tuesday morn
ing Of the absorption of the Leyland
steamship line by ]. p. Morgan had a
tendency to give a renewed stimulus
to the speculation as indicating the
continued activity Of the most influ-
entail individual in the recent great
movements toward consolidation. The
belief in wholesale consultations OF
great railroad systems, even at the
enormous expense involved in the
buying Of control IN the open market,
is the potent .facter IN "the general
speculation Ths enthusiastic believ.
ers in an indefinite rise in prices
argue that a market turnover within
few DAYS of as many shares of q
corporation as the whole outstanding
capital necessarily indicates a move
ment to bay control, but it is certain.
ly obvious that a turnover of that
amount of stock where the actual
control does not pass is proof posi-
tive of ar enormous amount of purely
speculative buying It may be due to
buying and selling and then rebuying
many times over Of speculative hold
ings, or II may due to persistent short
to cover as the further advance i'm
perils the position of the bears. That
such purely speculative transactions
formed large factor in Tuesdays
market Is probably not seriously
doubted. An analysis in detail of
Tuesdays market would be futile, so
great Is its extent and variety, and,
in the later dealings, its irregularity.
Northern Pacific was under pressure
OF profit taking all day, and Union Pa
cific and the grangers generally
showed its influence as the day
progressed.
The Atchisons were the new strong
feature on talk Of an increase in the
dividend. An advance in New York
Central brought speculative attention
back to the eastern railroads, but
their gains did not hold well. The
United States Steel stocks were COM
parative.y well maintained, closing
with net gains of 2A for the common
and for the preferred at reactions
OF IN and A respectively from the
best prices. The heavy profit taking
at the last made the closing irregu-
lar.
Business was not as large relatively
in bonds. and the price movement
was irregular. Total sales, par value,
$6,245, 900.

License Issued In Wayne County
"A Canton. Man to Be
the Groom.

Readers will recall the fact that
some weeks ago pretty Miss Filomeno
Antinuico, of Wooster, eloped to
Cleveland with young countryman
to whom her parents objected, says the
Wooster Republican. The young wo.
man was apprehended and brought
back before she could be welded. Her
love evidently cooled off, for the H.
cense record in Wayne county pro-
bate court shows that the papers were
issued Monday afternoon for her mar
rage on Tuesday morning to Sebasti-
no Didomencio, of Canton. The groom
is said to be wealthy and well thought
of in Canton. The bride is 16; the
groom 26.

COMMENT ON NEW KING.

London. Jan. 23.-The-Daily Tele-
graph publishes two editorials, under
the captions The Queen" and THE
King" In the latter it says:
Most happily for him he has, with
infinite credit to himself passed
through q period of probation in some
ways more difficult and certainly more
prolonged than that to which any sue
cessor to throne in modern times has
been subjected. He assumes the bur
den of his imperial task equipped with
all the invaluable experience which the
most painstaking discharge of great
duties could secure him during the life
time of his august mother"
The Times says; Of anything can
in some measure console the nation for
the irreparable loss 1t has sustained II
is the well founded conviction that the
Queen has left behind her a worthy
successor. who may be trusted to walk
in her footsteps"
The Standard expresses regret that
the Queen was not spared to see peace
restored in South Africa.
The Daily News says Queen Victoria
was always peacemaker. II refers
to the incident of her modifying in q
pacific sense Lord Russell's dispatch in
the Trent case.

to refer to newspaper as a circuit

point. however, which places the Cfi"f
Justice in a peculiar position. and
which a published letter from the Chief
Clerk does not explain Is the fact that
part of the work had been given TO the

the contract were called for. and that

Chief Justice virtually made fools Ct
