DEATH OF MISS FAY.
Well Known Kenosha Young Lady Died
Saturday Morning in Colorado.


A message has been received in this
city announcing the death of Miss
Mary Fay, a Kenosha girl, which oc-
Cured early Saturday morning at

Street Railway Company Will Ask
Judqe Fish to vacate the South
Street Injunction.
GREAT STORM COMING ON FIGHT.
Attorney For the Company Holds Stormy
Interview with the Mayor and Trou-
BILE is Feared For Both Parties.

The Kenosha Street Railway COM
pany will make one more fort to
have the injunction now existing
against the company, preventing them
from laying their tracks on South
street removed and during the present
week Attorney Mcdowell, who repre-
sents the company, will file in the Cir
cult court petition asking that the
in junction be vacated. This request
will be made upon the grounds that
since the trial of the injunction suit IN
the Circuit court the company has filed
a guarantee and surety company's
bond in lieu of the Simmons bond,
which was held by the mayor pending
the fling of bond covering the exact
terms of the ordinance. 1t is further
claimed that the facts as set out form
a perfect defense to the suit and in
conclusion the petition asks that the
injunction be vacated.
The notice of this new move in the
suit was given out Immediately after
the attorney for the company and
Mayor German had stormy interview
and it is reported that the hearing on
the case will bring out some very in
teresting evidence. The company are
taking violent exception to certain
affidavits recently made by Mayor
German in the argument for new
trial at Racine and it is claimed that
these matters will be brought up again
in the hearing on the petition to have
the injunction vacated. It is reported
that the interview between the mayor
and the attorney threats were made by
both parties and it is hard to see where
the matter will come out.
Attorney Mcdowell refused to talk
of the petition, but declared that some
interesting facts would be brought to
light before the motion was finally
disposed of.
In the meantime the company have
laid their tracks to Wisconsin street
and halt has been made until the
further course of the route is decided
upon. A large number of the property
owners on Wisconsin street have asked
that the line be extended on that street
and it is possible that some action IN
the matter will be taken at the meeting
of the council this evening.
Bad blood is beginning to appear in
the railway fight and the future de-
ve1opements will. be watched with in
terest.

MRS. MARY HEATING DEAD
Well Known Lady of This City Expired at
Her Home on West Market Street.

Her Home on West Market Street.
Mrs. Mary Heating, wife of Michael
Heating, and one of the best known OF
the early settlers of Kenosha, died
shortly after O'Clock Sunday evening
at the family residence on West Mar
ket street. Death was due to the nat
ura1 decay of old age. Mrs. Heating
had been steadily failing for the past
year, but the announcement OF her
death will come as a shock TO her
many friends in Kenosha.
The deceased was II years of age at
the time of her death, having been
born in the county of Mayo, Ireland,
in February, 1880. Early in life she
came to America and became one of
the earliest settlers of this county.
For the last fifty years Mrs. Heating
had been a resident of Kenosha and IN
this time she had made large circle
of friends. She was a woman OF many
noble qualities and these greatly en-
deared her to her friends who will lind
in her death a personal sorrow.
A husband and two children, Mrs.
J. H. Elliott, of Las Vegas, New Mex
leo, and John E. Heating, of this city,
survive.
The husband, Michael Heating, is
very critically i'll. The shock OF the
death of his wife has made his cond1-
ton alarming and little hope of his re-
covery is entertained.

BASEBALL TALK.

A crowd of nearly 200 Of our people
were out inspecting the new grounds
and the work of the new men Sunday
afternoon. There was some snappy
infeld playing which elected much
favorable comment from the knowing
ones, who predict fast work by Mana
ger A1leman's aggregation. Glenn,
the new first baseman, is a wonder.
He stands feet 2 inches in height,
and yet is as speedy as the lighter
men, is "a splendid thrower, a sure and
rangy catch and a sprinter at base
running.
Miller, the Two Rivers pitcher, was
on hand and after an exhibition of his
work in the box was duly signed with
the team. Massey at short proved
himself an A No. 1 man. He has been
chosen bysMr. A11eman to captain the
team, and.as he is strict disciplin-
arian, the boys will find they must toe
the scratch and play ball all the time.
A lazy or Indifferent player will have
brief, but very turbulent existence
with the Gteam.
Our old friend and ancient ball en-
thusiast, William Dickhaut, was so
pleased with the showing made by the
new team, that he walked over to a
willow patch near the grounds, cut off
branch, deft1y Eformed whistle and
marched around the diamond to the
tune of Yankee Doodle played by him
self.
Secretary W. ]. Swift went up to,
Mi1waukeesSunday to watch the game
between the Cream City and Appleton
teams. He saw great game, twelve
innings, Twith the score to 3 at the.
close. The Cream City's, it will be
remembered, will play two games in
this city on Decoration day.
Frank TX. Swift, the 'tenterprising
young Main street plumb Der, is the first
to place his big advertisement on the
fence of the new ball field, and it
looms up like beauty patch on a fair
1ady's face.
The famous Indian team of Nebraska
have written Secretary Swift for dates,
and the wor1d-beating "Unions" of
Chicago, composed entirely of co1ored
players, very much desire to perform
efore a Kenosha audience. Of this
latter team it. can be said there is no
batch of players in Illinois outside of
the leagues that has any business to
cross bats with them.

Machinists Agree to Give the Keno
sha Manufacturers Another Week
in Which to Sign the Scale.
STRIKE WILL NOT BE GENERAL
The Kenosha Manufacturers Have Given
Favorable Answers to Machinists and
Are Considering New Agreement

Kenosha was a favored city today,
for while in other cities many factories
were forced to shut down on account
of the great strike among the members
of the International Association Of
Machinists, not single machinist IN
Kenosha left his bench and there is
little reason to believe that the strike
will ever be effective in this city.
Kenosha was especially favored by
the representative of the Internation-
al association and when the men came
here to declare the strike they were
met more than half way by the mana
gers of the factories and for this rea-
son the International officers were led
to be lenient with the Kenosha fac
tories and notice has been received
that the Kenosha men will continue to
work on the old scale until next Mon
day morning.
In the meantime the maChinists will
seek to have the managers of the diff
ferent factories sign the new agree
ment. None of the factory managers
have as yet met the scale but Wells &
Messier, who are the largest employers
of machinists, stated this morn,
ing that they would probably sign the
scale on next Saturday. During the
week tits probable that conference
of the different factory managers will
be called, at which time plan of &C
ton will be outlined.
A visit to the different plants en-
p1oying machinists found them all in
their places today and there is every
reason to believe that the agreement
will be kept by the men. In most of
the factories only a few machinists
are employed and for this reason the
advance of wages will amount to very
little in the long run. Several of the
factory managers are holding off on
account of the principle of the strike
and it is possible that some of the ma
chinists may go out at the opening OF
next week. The international Union
has in the neighborhood of Que hun
dred members in this city and all OF
them dre now employed. The men
have agreed to strike if the conditions
are not met by the managers of the
factories. It is to be hoped that the
matter will be anicab1y settled.

NORTHWESTERN SETTLES UP.
Will Take No Appeal in the Condemnation
Proceedings For Building Tracks.

There will be no appeal from the de-
cision of the commissioners in the suit
of the Northwestern Railway company
to condemn lands for the construction
of a switch track to the Allen tannery
as this morning John B. Maloney,
clerk of the Circuit court, received a
check from the officers of the company
to pay all the damages assessed by the
commissioners. There was some dis
satisfaction among the property own
ers on account of the awards made by
the commission, but they have decided
to accept the awards and the settle
ment will be made at once. The road
bed, according to the condemnation
proceedings, will cost the company a
little over thirty-seven hundred dollars
beyond the cost of property which has
been purchased out right.
It is probable that work will be
started on the tracks at once in order
that they may be completed during the
summer.

A HOT RECEPTION.
Live Wire Charges the Iron Front of a
Business Block on Main Street

Live Wire Charges the iron ETOnG OF
Business Block on Main Street.
The Gottfredsen jewe1ry store had a
hot reception for their customers
Tuesday evening, and the fact that no
one was injured in the reception seems
to have been almost miraculous.
Shortly after O'Clock the insulation
of one of the electric 1ig ht wires lead
ing into the store was burned off and
the entire front of the store, which is
of iron, was heavily charged with
electricity. The proprietors of the
store werenot advised of the difficulty
and the first news they received of the
condition of the front was when mail
carrier attempted to enter the store.
He rece we'd a shock that forced him to
forget mail carrying and he cautiously
kept away. The next man to arrive
was Johnson Jackson and when he
stepped on the heavily charged iron
steps he executed a war dance which
was as interesting as it was novel.
Other men entering the store expert
enced similar results, but no one was
hurt.
The company soon repaired the
break and the lights were burning
within half an hour after the turnout
occurred.

Many Residences in Kenosha Today.
Two hundred residences in Kenosha
will be without water this evening as
the agents of the City Water company
are busy today shutting off water from
the home of delinquents. The men
started out early this morning, bit the
list is such a long one that it will
probably take good part of the day
to shut off the water in all parts of the
CITY. On the list are the names of
over two hundred residents of the city
and many of them are well known.
They seem to have entirely forgotten
the tithes they owe to the water COM
pany, but the refusal of the water to
run insthe pipes will come as painful
reminder to pay up.
The commissioners have been very
1enient with de1inquents. The taxes
should have been paid by the tenth of
the month, but special grace was
granted.
OF course the water will be turned
on again, but it cannot be turned on
until the de1inquents have settled their
bills and paid an extra dollar for the
work of shutting the water off and
turning it on again.

Widespread Suffering on Account
Of Dry Atmosphere.
NEARLY ALL CROPS RUINED
Fruit Trees and Corn Dying 10 the Fierce
Heat - insufficient Water Supply
10 Most Of the Large
Cities.

TOPEKA. Kas,, July l0.-Kansas Is
just as not as It was yesterday and
many degrees dryer. Temperatures
throughout the state today ranged from
100 to 1Os
On account Of the dryness Of the at
mosphere very few prosuatlons were
reported, but the damage to crops and
fruit was widespread. Corn has been
seriously damaged though there is yet
some hope for the late product. Ear
ly cora will not yield anything. If
rain comes within the presea. week.
Kansas will yet have a good crop OF
late corn.
The fruit prospects Of early spring
are entirely blighied. Berries and small
fruits are a total loss. Apples, peaches
and pear trees are shrivellng up and
dying in the fierce heat.
There is widespread depression
throughout the state because OF the
drought, which is the worst ever ex-
perienced here.
AS serious as the loss OF the crops
In Kansas is the dlminution Of the wat
er supply in cities Is felt more. Most Of
the larger cites would be tonight help
less in case Of large fire, on account
OF the inability OF the water companies
to keep up a proper pressure.
