A TRIO OF COMMITTEES
MATTERS BEFORE COUNCIL TO BE
UP FOR DISCUSSION.
Clerks Office To-Morrow Night
Works Board News.

Three Council committees will meet at
the city clerks Office tomorrow night. the
finance committee will resume its discussion
of the boulevard bond ordinance, and ii is
likely the committee of South Side citizens
will submit an estimate. based on valua-
tions secured from property owners, OF the
cost of land for the proposed South Side
boulevard. II is not likely. however, that
the committee will do anything else than
approve the ordinance in its present shape
The ordinance merely provides for an issue
of bonds, and the amount thus obtained is
still subject TO appropriation before II be-
comes available, according to the belief or
the councilmen This being the case, they
believe the amount be divided if 1T is
to be divided later.
The committee on public health will con-
slider the gas meter ordinance. Amendments
restricting the use of gas to culinary and
mating the 81 a month minimum charge
and the payment for meters will be pro-
posed and will doubtless be recommended
if the committee believes the ordinance Will
be effective TO do more than bring on an
other lawsuit.
The committee on public safety and COM
fort will consider Councilman Negleys or
dinance proposing a license for fortune
tellers. Councilman Sourbier invites all in
terested to attend. Councilman Negley is
not anxious for a report until he can secure
a copy of a similar ordinance in force in
Cleveland, which he believes is a practical
measure.

LOCAL WHOLESALE TRADE
MORE ACTIVITY IN NEARLY ALL
BRANCHES OF BUSINESS.
Commission Row shows an Easy
Light and Generally Weaker.

Trade yesterday showed more activity
than for some days past. The dry goods
houses had quite brisk squirt of business
and the millinery houses since Monday have
been quite busy as a result OF their fail
openings. The wholesale grocers never en-
jOyed more active trade than they have
this season. and il keeps up beyond ex-
pectations. With prices ruling steady in
primary markets, sugars are in strong po-
sition. but efforts TO advance prices have
not been realized. All other staple gro
ceries are steady The iron and hardware
stores are having a good trade, and all the
season this lire has been exceptionally ac-
tive. while prices have ruled firm, but with
no advances of moment. The market, there
fore. is in a healthy condition. On Commits
sion row there is little new to note The
range of prices is reasonable on most
articles. Tomatoes are beginning 10 rpen
better and prices carry an easier tone. The
produce markets are in healthy condition.
all articles in that line ruling firm Even
butter, whRh last week showed weaken
ing tendency, is firmer. Eggs are in good
request at the advance of Monday. There
is quite a demand for young turkeys, ana
large, healthy chickens are fast movers.

Voting Trust Will BE Continued.

The directors of the Philadelphia & Read
ing Railway met in Philadelphia yester-
day and announced that they had declared
a semi-annual dividend of 1 per cent. on
the first preferred stock of the company,
payable on Oct. l. This cuts the dividend
in half, and has the effect of prolonging
the voting trust now controlling the af-
fairs of the company for a period of two
years. Had the dividend been at the rate
of per cent. the voting trust would have
been at an end under the provision that
the property shall revert to the control of
its shareholders when dividends at the rate
of per cent. per annum shall have been
paid for two successive years. The last
three semi-annual dividends were each 2
per cent, and yesterdays would have
completed the necessary period had the
directors decided upon a 2 per cent divi-
dend.

WEST VIRGINIA ROMANCE
1T BEGAN IN LOVE AND ENDED IN
DISLIKE AND a TRAGEDY.
Young Man Who Lost Legs i'm Acct
dent ScOrned by Salt Rock Belle
and Elected by Her Father.

HUNTINGTON, w. Va, Aug. 27.-There
is a romance somewhat out of the ordinary
connected with the life of Lon Smith, the
young man who recently shot Constable
Kiah Adkins, of Salt Rock, in the eastern
end of this county. and who. after having
defed the authorities for weeks voluntarily
surrendered. Some years ago. when the
Guayandotte Valley Railroad was being
constructed in the neighborhood of Salt
Rock Lon Smith, a handsome, attractive
young man, first made his appearance in
that section. He popular, easily made
acquaintance throughout the country dis
trict. and became prominent figure in the
society of the neighbOrhOod. He was espe-
cially favorite with the young ladies of
the community. and pretty Annie Burkhart
found favor in his sight. They were seen
together frequently, and soon it known
that they were engaged to be married. The
girls parents approved. and there was not
a cloud upon the horizon. When the rail-
road was finished Smith secured work with
the Norfolk * Western.
The arrangements were made for the
wedding, which was TO have occurred this
month. In March. however. Smith fell
from a freight and both legs were
severed just below the knee. Smith was
sent 10 the hospital for treatment and he
of his misfortune from Miss Burkhart In
fact, she knew nothing of il until recently
when he appeared TO demand her hand
Then, instead of the strong. handsome man
she had expected she met a hating erin
pie. The disappointment was too great for
her love, and she informed him that he
would have TO return without her
Smith pleaded with her, then argued. and
finally, when that availed not he threat
ened. At this Miss Burkhart's father ap-
peared and ordered him 10 depart from the
Burkhart home He refused to go and the
majesty of the law, in the person OF Con-
stable Kiah Adkins, was called upon TO in
terfere. Adkins attempted to eject Smith
fOrcibly from the premises. Smith objected
and when Adkins persisted he drew a re-
vOlver and shot the constable the bullet
striking him under the eye and passing en-
tirely through his head. His condition is
very serious.
Immediately after the shooting smith
mounted horse belonging TO the constable
and rode off. He proceeded to Wayne coun-
ty. where he has relatives, and there for
TWO weeks, he defiied the authorities. His
friends were surprised at his voluntary sur
render. as he had declared that he would
never be taken alive.
He has now employed one of the leading
law firms of this city. McComas. Northcotf
| & Perry. to conduct his defense and he also
declares that he will sue Miss Burkhart Tor
breach OF promise. The Burkharts are
among the wealthiest people in that section
OF the county, and great interest is mani
| tested in the outcome OF the suit
