D.. who was one of the foremost in the

The defeat ot the Vaughan hill Is 4 decided
surprise TO it. promoters and nicnd,. They
richly deserve defeat not only because the hill
itself i, obuoNiouS, but because they prr-istcnty
refused 4 hearing to its opponents. Some Of
them we've kind enough to say that they would

dissenting vote.
When the ordinance was called M in
common council Mr.. Keller said that
he would vote for 1t because he be-
licved It should BE- passed before the
city is rCCrganized next Monday but
that he desired 20 express his disap-
rroNal oi two particular sections of the
medSuIe.-the ones providing for per-
manent men for the Kovser Valley
Hos" company and creating the office
of clerl, of the common council with
Il salary of $500 Il year.

amendments when the rvll was called.
Mr. Ross was the only member who
voted against tn amendments hut as
Lee had ncChing {" say. his reason for

OVER RECORDERS HEAD.
Many Vetoed Ordinances Passed by
Both Branches of Councils.

The members of both branches of
councils spent good deal of their time
last night in passing over Recorder
Moir's head electric light ordinances
which he had vetoed.
He sent "a whole batch of these to
the select council with a communira-
tion setting forth that the lights pro-
vided for vera not necessary The or
dinances provided for the following
lights: one in the sixteenth ward.
three in the Third ward, one in the
Eighteenth ward. four in the Twcn-
tieth ward, one in the Seventh ward
four in the Seventeenth ward.
These were all passed over his veto,
only Mr.. Chittenden dissenting. They
were hustled over to the common Coun-
ell and passed by that body unani-
mously. Select council also passed
over the recorders head the ordin-
anCes providing for three lights in
the Tenth ward and four lights I'm the
Nineteenth ward. which were similarly
acted upon by common council on
Wednesday night
There was a lively debate in the COM
mon council when the ordinance pro-
viding for the paving of Providence
road was called up for final passage.
\. l.. Lewis protested against its pas
sage. principally on the ground that
there was no sewer on the street pro-
posed to be paved and that II was.
therefore. unwise to pave it until ii had
been properly severed.
\ GREAT IMPROVEMENT
Mr.. Keller and Mr. Paine spoke in
favor of the ordinance. Mr.. Keller
said that there should be no objection
to the passing of the ordinance on the
part of the property owners. for tn
reason that when the pave is complet-
ed their property would be worth at
the lowest estimate % per cent. more.
Mr. Paine said that the paving ot
Providence road would be one of the
biggest public improvements in the
history of the city and he urged the
members not to stand in the way of
il. The ordinance was passed by the
| following vote:
Ycas--McDonald. Aworrh, IIagscrW, C,lpin,
| Ruanc. Paine, Nagcli, Phillips. Calvin, lIUvey,

SILK WORkERSLEAVE
Large Numbers of Them Are Seek
ing Employment in Mills at AL
lentown and Paterson.

As Il result of the silk mill strike,
which is now rapidly entering into its
third month without being apparently
any nearer to an amicable settlement
than it was during the first few days
of February, a large number OF the
girls employed in the local mills have
left the city.
II is estimated that fully one hun
dred employees of the various silk
manufacturing companies have gone to
out of the city concerns. and yesterday
alone there were fifteen departures for
Allentown and Paterson. Every day
letters are received at the strikers
headquarters from mill owners offer
ing work. The expenses of the trip To
the mill are paid by the owners, who
also pledge themselves to support the
girls until they have received their
first instalment OF salary.
The ma jority of the girls who have
left, so far. are weavers. as this is a
branch of the silk manufacturing in
dustry in which efficient employees are
always in demand. The fifteen strik
ers who left yesterday are all weavers.
and were formerly employed at the
Sauquoit mill. Eight girls left in the
morning for Allentown and the re-
mainder during the afternoon for Pat .
erson.
A meeting of the members of the
local Sauquoit soft silk workers was
called for yesterday afternoon to hea,
the report Of the committee which
waited upon Superintendent w. II. Da =
Wis early in the week. There was but
a small attendance of the girls. how =
ever. and as the grievance committee
itself did not appear, the meeting was
held, without any business of import
ance being transacted A special meet =
ing will be held at o'clock this morn
ing between the executive and sriev-
ance committees, and this afternoon
the hard silk workers of the Sauquoit
mill will hold "A session.
Superintendent Butler, OF the Simp.
son mill at Mnooka. will return from
| Paterson today, and it is likely thai
/ he will soon be waited upon by a grev.
( ance committee representing the mil
! local. 1t is understood that his trip ~
| Paterson was in the nature OF a con,
! ference with the company authorities
! and important developments may re
| suit.
AT the Lackawanna mill. at Taylor
| 1t was yesterday reported that all tn,
! girls were back to work. the scale the,
| demanded being granted almost to tn,
letter. At strikers headquarters. how

girls were still out.

A startling Story,

GAINESVILLE. Wis, Nov. 29.-Rumors
of startling nature which throw new
light on the alleged accidental killing
of white hunters through reckless
shooting on the part of their compan-
ions have reached this city. II is now
alleged that in several instances In
dams have intentionally shot the men
down. The invasion this fall by thou
sands of sportsmen has resulted in a
wholesale slaughter of deer at the
very door of the Indian wigwam. This
is said TO have made the red men very
angry. Half civilized Indians this fall
informed old-time hunters that the
only way to rid the pineries of city
spOrtsmen was to scare them out by
means of sending a few stray bullets
here and there wherever the hunters
happened to be lying in wait.
