VERY COMPLEX.
City Officials Having Hard Time With
Belt Line Situation.

The belt line situation in Akron is
so complex that the City Commission
ers and Councilmen have difficulty In
remembering where they are at. Each
line crosses about 25 streets In the
city, almost on parallel, aud even

companies have applications for fran

A GREAT PLAN
But 1t MisCdrried In Several Very Inn
pOrtdnt Particulars.

Jimmie Rankin's failure so far to
successfully loop the-loop has caused
the thoughts Of n number of Akron
youths to wander in that direction.
Several Of them thought that it would
be great sport to run or slide down
the incline and around the loop. Sun
day evening, Jay Wall son of Mr.. w.
II Wall, of Bluff ST., selected himself
to perform the feat and win the ap-
plause Of the youths present. 1t was

the young fellows plan to slide down
the incline standing on his feet and
around the loop. That the plan was
not correctly thought out is now shown
by the pieces OF court plaster which
the young man wears on his face.
The youth shot along on his feet for
about 40 feet, then turned partial
somersault and ontinued OH his
journey on his face. Wherefore none
Of the youths will attempt to run or
slide the loop.the-loop again.

POLICE BOARD.
Nothing Sensational for To-
morrow's Meeting Except
the McKaig Charges.

President Thomas w. Tilden has call
ed a meeting of the Board Of Police Com
missioners for tomorrow evening. 1t is
not expected that there will be anything
of very great Importance brought before
the meeting, and in comparison with the
last two meetings that of tomorrow even
ing is expected to be exceedingly tame.
Should the charges presented to the
Board at its last meeting be in readiness
for action to be taken upon them, some
thing regarding the trial Of Captain Arch
ibald McKaig and his subordinates may
develop to give a sensational aspect to
the meeting.
Lawyer Edward Zeugener, counsel for
Robert d. Green, colored man, present
ed charges at the last meeting of the
Board but one, in which it is alleged
that various members of the force sta
toned at the Fourth Precinct ''shoolS
down" Green after he had been arrested
before they would allow him to procure
bail. 1t is not known as yet whether
or not these charges are in proper shape
for presentation at tomorrow nights
meeting.
President Tilden, when asked, said he
knew of nothing of Importance that
would occur outside of the routine busi-
ness regularly transacted at the mid
monthly meeting of the Board. He also
said that he knew of no appointments or
further transfers that the Board contem-
plated making.
1t is expected that Sergeant Michael
Walsh will make application for retire
ment as he has served the regular time
in the department and is desirous of TAX
ing the balance of his life easily and get
ting all the enjoyment possible from his
remaining years.

DYNAMITE FIND.
Three Blasting Sticks on the
Bremen Pier, Hoboken--
Left by a Miner.

There was considerable excitement on
the Bremen steamship piers at Hoboken,
yesterday afternoon, when it was report
ed that four sticks of dynamite, capable
of wrecking the company's entire prop
erty, were found behind some barrels
on one of the piers. The dynamite was
of the yellow sort used for blasting
purposes. Each stick was three feet
long. The three together weighed three
and one half pounds. They We're found
wrapped in copy of Polish news
paper printed at Alleghaney, Pa.
Chief of Detectives Nelson was notified
of the find by telephone. He put Detec-
tives Quinn and Weiathal on the case,
but they wer unable to ascertain who
had left the dynamite on the pier. 1t
was generally believed that the sticks
had been left there by some striking
coal miner, who was probably on his
way to Europe, and had brought them
with him from Pennsylvania. He evi-
IDENTIFY was afraid to take the explosives
aboard the ship. The man probably
sailed on the Koenigen Luise, which
sailed last Saturday.
Superintendent Mullen, of tn piers,
had the dynamite dropped overheard
from a Barclay street ferryboat in the
middle of the Hudson River. The sticks
were sunk about i've hundred feet apart.

Recorder Stanton of Hoboken spent
most Of his time this morning trying to
untangle lot of testimony regarding a
clothesline fight that broke out among
the tenants of No. 3O3 Clinton street
Mrs. Annie Muhlman, who, until yes
terday, lived on the second floor, had
Mrs Schutt and Mrs. Bogert, two other
tenants, summoned to court for calling
her names. Mrs Schutt is the landlady
of the premises. She and Mrs. Muhl-
man have not been on good terms for
some time and the latter decided to move.
As son as she announced her intention
to move Mrs. Muhlman says Mrs. Schutt
and Mrs. Bogert called her names con-
tinually.
Mrs. Bogert testified that Mrs. Muhl-
man called her "a little rat
When Mrs Muhlman's husband heard
how his wife was treated he wanted to
take Mrs. Schutt's husband out on the
street fora few minutes, but the latter
would not accept the challenge.
TAa fight came to climax yesterday
when the Muhlmans began to move.
While the furniture was carried out
Mrs. Schutt stood in the hall beating a
tattoo ON a dishpan, while Mrs. Bogert
accompanied her on a harmonica.
The women acknowledge in court this
morning that they gave the serenade.
Recorder Stanton discharged them with
reprimand for their conduct.

WILL LEVEL A MOUNTAIN.
P. r. RS Great Undertaking to
Obtain Filling for Its Green
Vile Improvement.

Contracts for the filling in of the foun-
dation for the Pennsylvania Railroad
docks, which are in course of erection at
Greneville, have been awarded to the
B. M. & J. F. Shanley Company. In
order to get the necessary material the
contractors have arranged to level a
small mountain, located at New Orange,
near Plainfeld, on the line of the Lehigh
Valley Railroad. The soil thus obtained
will be taken to New York and dumped
in the bay at the docks, in order to make
the foundation.
The proposed system of docks at
Greenville is on a mommoth SCALE They
are to extend out in New York Bay for
distance of more than a quarter of a
mile, and when completed will accommo-
date many ocean steamers. They are de-
signed to facilitate the transportation of
all kinds of products which have to be
carried on vessels. 1t isexpected that
the system, when in operation, will save
much lighterage expenses and economize
| in time
The Stanley Company has completed
number of contracts in conjunction
with the improvements on the docks, and
the new contracts form continuance OF
the work The New York Bay line is
the railroad which reaches the docks, and
is said to be part of the Pennsylvania
system.
The Lehigh Valley Railroad also
reaches Greenville, and over it is carried
much Of the material used in the con-
struction. The New York Bay line par
allels the Lehigh from Newark, but part
of the road is not completed. In order
for Pennsylvania trains to cross Newark
Bay to Greenville it is necessary for the
Lehigh bridge to be used
1t is expected that it will take several
years to complete the dock system. Work
has been under way for about two years.

O'BRIEN WON'T BE THERE
But the Aldermen Will Pass the
Excise Commission Ordin-
ance Just the Same.

The Hon. John O'Brien and his asso-
ciates in the Excise Board will not at
tend the meeting of the Board of Alder
men tonight to listen to the proceedings,
as a vote is taken to pass an ordinance
providing for the election of an Excise
Board by the people under the provisions
of the Camden act, which was approved
subsequently, to the approval of the act
authorizing Mayor Pagan to appoint his
Excise Comission.
The Camden act. it is claimed, repeal

Hon. John and comrades haven't any
legal right to issue licenses.
