FRANCHISE WITHOUT
AN ORDINANCE
Street Railway Company at Oklahoma
City Creates Sensation.

The Oklahoma City Street Railway
company created quite a sensation
in that burg yesterday evening Dy
fling with the city council a notice
Of their intention to proceed with the
construction OF a street railway ia
that town without a franchise srom
the city council The company have
mad an application pending for over
year, but have been unable to get
the council to act and they now pro
pose to proceed under charter
granted to them by congress and the
laws of the territory Of Oklahoma
They are proceeding on the ground
that the city council has no right 20
grant a franchise; that it only has
the right to enforce general ordi-
nances or police regulations, which
viii apply to any and all lines that
may see fit to run street railways in
this city; that it can not enter into
any contract, under the name of d
franchise with any company or set
of private individuals; that the acts
Of congress forbid the same; that
there is no law authorizing the couu-
ellis of the cities of the territory to
grant franchises and that without 4
law they can not do so; that the
courts universally hold that street
railways are for the benefit of the
general public and have as mucn
right to be run over the streets OF "a
city without the Interference Of the
city authorities, exceFt when state
constitution provide Gherwise. as
has an omnibus line or lot Of drays
subject only to reasonable reguia-
tions by general ordinances; that the
streets of the city belong TO the gen
eral public and not to the city coun-
ell and the latter have only power to
regulate and not to contract or frame
out the uses for which the same may
be put to. If the city did have
power as has almost all the cities OF
the states Of the union under con
stitutional provisions then the power
wheen executed would be a contract
between the city and the company "a
whom the right was given and Il
would matter not how valuable the
right might therefore become, oi
how necessary it would be to change
the conditions of the contract, yet tho
city would be bound while on the
other hand company chartered un
der the general laws and acts of con
gress would be subject to subsequent
Legislation.
Under the charter of the -O4rsahom'
Street Railwax--eompany they have
the streets designated upon which
they will run and the public know
at once what they propose to do an

HEALTH OF THE STATE.
January Deaths Numbered 1.430-
 Vaccination and Sma!lDOX

Vaccination and Smallpox.
 The state board of health has issued it's report for the last month There were 1.439 deaths during January This was 31O more than in December - more than in January of last year, and Il3 more than the average num- Der of deaths in January for the five years preceding. The death rate was 1S.5 for the large towns. 2O4 for the small towns and 19.O for the whole state. The deaths reported from in fectiOuS diseases Were 235, being 16i per cent. of the total mortality Deaths occurred in the state from diseases as follows: Measles. 3; scarlet fever, 9: grip. 132; cerebrospinal fever, S; diphtheria and croup. II: whooping cough, ,: erysipelas, 6; typhoid fever. II; malarial fever, ?; puerperal fever, 3: diarrhoea, l2: consumption. 153: pneumonia. 229: bronchitis, 73: dis eases of nervous system. 143: heart disease, 119: accidents and violence 62: all other diseases. 425. Thee mor- tality in public institutions of the state was: Bridgeport. 3: Hartford. 26: Middletown, II; New Haven, 22 Sixteen towns report as having no deaths in January. They are: An dover, Beacon Falls. Bozrah. Canter- ti!ltOI NOiulllDii. i)tlE- ham. East Granby, Easton. killing worth. Middlebury. Middletield. S;- lem. Sterling and Trumbull. The reg istrars of Canaan and Willington did not report for last month. In regard to smallpox the report says:
 The recent outbreak of smallpox in New York city naturally excited an apprehension that it would invade Connecticut. It has moderately. but far less than was feared. There have been six cases in Bridgeport one in Derby and three in Torrington: none fatal as yet. The remarkable eXemp- ton from this dread pestilence, which Connecticut has enjoyed, while it has been prevailing to the number Oi thousands of cases in other states. can only be attributed to the general prac
 tice of vaccination in Connecticut | Vaccination has been on trial now fol | more than 2 hundred years. and has | been tested in every civilized country | in the world, and everywhere proved l itself q sure and safe means of pro
 tection when properly performed. Il l is true there are q few mentally dis
 torted persons who deny it's protective
 power. They represent class of ob | jectors in the human family that al
 ways exists. They are like the famous | colored preacher of Virginia wht | claimed that the earth was the center l of the solar system. and with illogica
 obstinacy insisted dat de sun dt

KENNEDY TRIAL ADJOURNED.
Ruling Out of Handwriting Causes Nuch Discussion Among Lawyers.

New York; Feb 16.-There was a sudden adjournment of the kennedy case yesterday until Monday morning. Mir Cantwell said the ruling of Justice Fursman barring out the testimony or handwriting experts was a surprise and the defense was not prepared to proceed with the case.
 Speaking of Justice Fursman's rul- ing on the testimony of handwriting experts. Assistant District Attorney Osborne said yesterday:
 If Justice FursmanS ruling is good law. then to my knowledge at least six men have been illegally executed. Not only this. but hundreds of others in cases, not capital, have suffered im- prisOnment.
 '.In the case of Dr Buchanan the court of appeals sustained the decision of the lower court. Dr Buchanan's conviction was brought about princi- pally by the testimony of Professor Ames. the handwriting expert. Take the case of MolineuX. Weeks and Battle went before Justice Pardon c. l Williams and asked that the indict- ment be dismissed on the ground that the testimony of the handwriting eX- perts was not sufficient to find an in- dictment on. Justice Williams decid- 1 ed to the contrary, in q most decided | manner.
 1 .'In the case of William Fl. Schooley, convicted of receiving stolen goods by l means of q false signature to q power of attorney. and whose conviction was brought about by comparison of handwriting and sustained by the court 1 of appeals. that tribunal made use of i the following: sWe know of no prin- 1 ciple or rule in law which would jus tify the court in rejecting this evi- | dence.'
 A parallel case to that of Dr kenne- | dy which resulted in the birth of this l decision is that of the case of the peo- pie vs Coray. Coray was indicted in Madison county for the murder of an Indian. and was convicted by compari- son of handwriting exhibits consisting l of signature in Bible and q letter to his sweetheart. in which he stated his intent to kill the Indian. The court of appeals decided fiat-footed in favor of the admission of such testi- I mony, although the letter was not set l forth in the indictment"

STRUCK BY A TRAIN. 5
Driver Trown in the Air and Cart
 Dragged Several Hundred Feet.


 ] There was q big sensation in South Brooklyn this morning when the S:36 train collided with q cart belonging to Edward McManus, throwing the driver, Frank Napoleon, several feet into the air and tearing the cart off the horse and dragging it several hun dred feet. It was close call, and while it is thought that the driver was more scared than hurt, still it is hard to tell about that, for he got bad fall. McManus has men at work drawing sand from the bank at the west side of the track and while driv- ing over the rails this morning the train came upon the cart in charge of Frank Nicholas Napoleon before he had a chance to get out of the way. A freight that was standing on sid ing shut out the view down the road and on this account the engine was but short distance from the spot when the man got onto the track. When he realized his perilous position he gave a yell and a roar and struck the horse with the reins. The animal made a bound towards the bank. thus getting his own heels out of the way on time to save them from being ground off. f.sThe train came to a stand still and the conductor and engineer got down and looked over the ground. All the facts were reported to Superln- tendent Beach.

PAID LARGE DIVIDENDS
The Year 1900 Prosperous One for
 Waterbury Manufacturers

Waterbury Manufacturers
 The manufacturing concerns of Wa terbury were never in q more prosper ous condition. While all of them de- clared annual dividends at their last meetings of the year in December, many of them were little less than monstrous. All of the big concerns. furthermore, built large additions last year, which have been paid for to the last cent. It is noticeable, also. that not one of them increased the pay of the wOrkmen. but. on the contrary. never before had there been so many labor disturbances i'll this city over wages. The effects Of the strike in the adjusting department at the clock factory are still felt among the work men, at all events. and the same might be said of the situation at the casting department at the Waterbury Manu- featuring company's giant plant. One of the big silyerware factories has been closed by the silver trust and hun dreds of men thrown out of work, while great many of them have lost their equity in houses they had built near the factory whose wheels are now silent. and which before it became d mere atom in the assets of the trust was one of the big concerns in this city.
 Following is the dividend declared by each concern in fair round figures The New England Watch company s per cent: Scovill Manufacturing com pany, between 30 and 40 per cent Waterbury Clock company. II per cent: Waterbury Manufacturing com pany. about 25 per cent, certainly not less than that amount: Plume x At wood company and the American Ring company. 20 per cent each; the Farrell Foundry and Machine company 10 per cent: this is about the same figure that this concern has been paying for years: Holmes. Booth X HaydenS. G per cent: American Pin company. i Der cent. This concern is paving for large tract of land and new build | ings. The Waterbury Brass company and the Benedict X Rurnham company. which are now owned by the American Brass company. per cent each. The stockholders in these firms. while they do not draw as high d dividend as they did before they sold to the American Brass company, draw as much as be, l fore. having more stock this being one of the conditions of the sale.

The United States Fast Be- coming a
 Paradise

We want to make the people feel happy, and here are the latest figures to show what is being done in their interest. In round numbers, this coun- try spent $3OO,OOO ,OOO for hospitals, or phanages, new churches, etc, etc, in 1900. The Catholics head the list with $31 100000, Methodists $26,OOO,OO Presbyterians $2O,OOO.0OO Episcopali- ians $14,OOO,OOO, Baptists $12,OO0,O0O Salvation Army $75O,OOO and so on down the line. In 1900 we had 2,340 churches and to-day we. have 1S7. .4S1 churches in the United States alone. This is marvellous showing-a pretty good world to live in. The next best thing to do to make the world better is for the great Trusts and Combina- tions who control prices to show their honesty to the people by paying GOOD LIVING WAGES. The habit of pay ing small wages is a bad habit.
 What is the world to anyone who has not got comfortable home. with comfortable surroundings? Good char acter and good homes must go tOgeth- CT, and watch the good old mother, when she is in our store: how quickly she recognizes this fact She says to her husband: JOHN, IF WE WANT THE BOYS AND GIRLS TO STAY IN NIGHTS, WE MUST GIVE THEM AN ATTRACTIVE HOME!" The greatest philosopher could not speak greater truth. This is what we have | been doing for the past month-away
 in the markets buying goods-the lat | est styles and the lowest prices ill l America.

The handsome and natty manner in which the hall was deco rated at once attracted the eye and won the admiration of the exceedingly large audience in attendance. The balls of the letter carriers in the past have been grand affairs, but the sixth annual surpassed them in every de- tail. Here and here upon the stage were handsomely displayed numerous potted plants. from behind which the sweet and inspiring strains of dulcet melody emanated. The American band furnished music for the dancing and also rendered an interesting con cert program as Il prelude to the dane ing. The program of the concert was as follows: Overture .............. 0. Nicolri Merry Wives of Windsor. A. Czibulka Woodland Whispers ....C r. Briegel Loves Frolics ...... William Lorraine Salome-Intermezzo.
 The Limit-medley ...... G. Michiels Czardas.
 Shortly after the conclusion Of the concert. which was of rare merit. the grand march commenced. Postmaster J. H. Guernsey and Prof Leo Herr led with the twenty letter carriers immedi- ately after them. About 15O couples participated in it. Dancing followed. the program consisting of eighteen numbers, for which the American band orchestra furnished music and Prof Herr prompted.
