An Automatic Adder.

An automatic adding machine was
introduced into the Office of the Water
Board on trial yesterday, and it worked
to perfection. Clerk Shellhase was de-
lighted with the wonderful invention.
There is not any likelihood that it will
come into general use in the public
building, however, as it might cut
down the force of employees.

being taken up in every direction. Car
ney & Kerr, of this city, got a lease

heretofore been made, seems assured.

have taken an option on the lease on
the Huseman building, now held by

expectation that the new concern will

and the promoters expect the matter
to assume definite shape within ten
lays or two weeks.

Local News From the City of Mills
and Factories.
People


About one year ago the city Coun-
Gil passed an ordinance which proyid-
ed for prisoners who could not pay
their fines to work them out on the
streets, and to have a ball and chain
attached to them. The city bought the
balls and chains and they were hung
up in the city building, where they
have remained ever since. 1t would be
remembered that after this ordinance
was passed, the city had no tramps,
but the tramp fraternity soon learned
that the mayor was not enforcing this
ordinance and they soon commenced
to make their calls, and now the city
has more than her share of the buns.
1t is said that Council will bring this
matter before the mayor at their next
meeting, as they do not think they
should keep tramps in Jail and feed
them for several days and then have
them sent to st. Clairsville on a long
sentence. The hobos like to go to st.
C~lairsville in winter, as they get good
board and no work to do. Why not
enforce this ordinance and keep this
tribe from the city?
wv. M. Davis is visiting friends at
Sewillsville.
Geo. Cooke was at St. Clairsville
yesterday on business.
Ralph Schwartz, the accommodating
clerk at Selby and Dixon's dry store,
is at Columbus.
William Green was arrested by Off
GERS Campbell and Myers Monday
night. He was charged with being
drunk and disorderly and fined five
dollars and costs.
John Schell, of Burlington, has again
been brought before Squire Newland
for selling intoxicating liquors last
Sunday. The warrant was sworn out
by Mrs. VIM. Bode, who also run a
saloon at that place.
The work of paving First street has
been postponed during the winter and
the contractor, Mr.. Day, has taken
away his tools. 1t is probably Just as
well, as laying brick when the earth is
frozen would surely not make a salts
factory piece of work.

Manila, May 25.-The prosecution
against D. M. Carman, Senior Carranza
and others accused of trading with in
surgents has been abandoned. The
military authorities consider that al
though conviction of a number Of
Manila merchants would be practically
certain were Investigations continued,
their prosecution would be inexpediept
as consequent damage to business
would outweigh the good effect. Pro-
vost General Davis who has reviewed
the Carman case said to a correspon-
dent of the Associated Press that
while Carman could he convicted Of
trading with insurgents, it would be
unjust to punish him when nearly
every trader in Manila is guilty of
similar practices.

THROUGH The ROOF
Robbers Successfully Adopt New
Method to Burglarize a
Bank.

Mineral Point, Wis, May 25.-The
First National bank of this city was
b~urglarized early today, the robbers
getting away with $4,000. The loss
is fully covered by insurance.
Entrance was effected through the
shingled roof of the building, which
is a one-story structure, thence from
the attick to the vault by digging
away the arched brick. From the in
side the vault door was forced open
and the so-called burglar-proof safe
was blown open with nitro-glycerine.
Everything indicated that the rob-
berry had been carefully planned in
advance. Officers are securing the
immediate vicinity and telephone and
telegraph wires are kept busy, but
Business will be interrupted only tenn
porarily. A reward of $1,000 is Of
fered for the arrest of the guilty par
ties.
1t is thought the robbery was COM
mitted by two suspicious characters
who were, seen across the street from
the bank a month ago., at which time
it is supposed the men planned the
robbery. There are no trains out of
Mineral Point and it is thought the
robbers came from a nearby town and
later drove back and caught a train
which took them to one of the small
towns on the Mississippi. where they
are now in hiding.
The large amount of cash was to be
used in paying off miners and labor
ers tomorrow. The robbers probably
timed their visit to a day when they
knew the funds would be large.

AMATURE ATHLETICS
Harvard Wins in Inter Collegiate
Championship Contests by
Good Score.

New York, May 25.-The annual
track and field championship contests
of the intercollegiate association of
amateur athletic union of America
was concluded today at Berkeley oval.
Bad weather literally ruined what
promised to be the most illustrious
event in the history of the organiza-
ton, and instead of a crop of new re-
cords, the crowd which braved the
wind and rain had to be content with
a series of mediocre performances.
About 1900 people of both sexes
tried to infuse enthusiasm into the
mud-bespattered athletes, who, in
spite of the muck and mire, respond
end gamely.
AS anticipated, the battle for the
championship cup was fought out to
the bitter end, and when the final
reckoning came the anxious boys
from New Haven saw with dismay
that their old rival, Harvard, was the
victor by a splendid score of AZ
points.
Yale was credited with 80 Sc points
which gave her second place, and
Princeton anne in third with a tota
OF l6 1-16 points. Cornell was fourth
followed by Georgetown, Michigan
Pennsylvania, Columbia, New York
Boaidoin and Syracuse.

She was conveyed from the Scott

An immense crowd had assembled at
the ferry depot of the Southern Paci-

Market and East streets was a solid
mass If humanity through which the
police Fept an open passageway for
the president and his party.
Heads were uncovered as the car

fort to restrain applause as the car
riage with drawn curtains PASSED
slowly through their midst. Respect

was no formal ceremony at me de-

had come to wish them Godspeed and
