The Board of Public Works middle
annears to he a source of unending COM
nlieations. none OF which reflect credit
upon the city.
II appears that theiatest move on the
mart of the Republican strategists is IN
tended to anticipate the decision OF
Mayor Sweeney relative to his right to
refnse 10 increase the fines in Police
Court TO such a sum as to enable the
defendants to take an appeal. Ed. w.
Wolfe. eleri. of Police Court, has an
uouuced that he will issue no more war
rants at the instance of the new Board
for employees of the old B. P. w.
Mr. Wolfe was disposed to take this
stand before, but was advised by the
Mayor that he was an officer of the
court and was expected to act in ac-
r0rdance with instructions from the
Judge. Nj. Wolfe puts his present de-
termination on the ground that the
litigation is now in the Supreme Court
of Appeals, and arrests made now only
tend TO aggrayate the matter. This is
very pretty and plausible upon its face
1t may be contended upon the other side,
however. that Mr.. Wolfe is presump-
tious in undertaking to pass upon this
matter. and that his duties are merely
clerical and in no sense judicial.
However that may be, it is presumed
that Mr.. Wolfe has been advised to fol-
low the course which ne has announced,
and II is a safe guess that his advice
came from a Republican source. Fur
Their developments in this phase of the
matter will be awaited with consider
able interest. 1t will be peculiar stu
alton if the Mayor orders the clerk of
his court to issue a warrant and the
clerk refuses to do so. 1t is obvious
that It is the only means left the en-
ployes of the old Board in. the event
that Mayor Sweeney this morning de-
eides not to increase fines In the future
in order to permit defendants to ap-
peal.
The Mayor will decide the matter this
morning. If his decision is as given
above, the payment of fines will be en-
forced or defendants will be compelled
10 accept the alternative of imprison-
ment.

Ahoat Concerning Important Deals

More rumors and counter-rumors
are in circulation concerning traction
deals in this city and neighborine
towns. 1t was intimated to Register
reporter that the Schmulbach syndi-
cate, who are asking Council for a
franchise through this city from the
north end of Coal street to Firty-fifth
street, are not averse to connecting Up
with any other lines now seeking en-
trance into Wheeling.
A certain city official stated yesterday
mat he regarded it as probable that
the Ohio Rapid Transit Company would
md an entrance into the city over the
tracks of the Schmulbach road. The
OHIO Rapid Transit Company has no
franchise over the river yet, however.
and in fact appears to have nothing but
deal for the use of the Terminal rail-
way bridge.
