FRANCHISE
OF 7. l.. ChiIds to be
Forfeited.
This Was Recommended by
Prosecutor Tuesday.

Prosecutor Hagelbarger on -.esday
recommended to the County Commits
sioners that the franchise of Attorney
4. l.. Childs,fo an electric line through
Summit county to Cleveland, be de-
clared forfeited.
He said the franchise had already
been forfeited by reason of the fact
that Mr. Childs was to have begun
work prior to Nov. 27. and that no
work has been done or money put up.
A franchise has not yet been granted
Daniel Gindelsperger, of Cleveland,
who plans to build line over practi-
cally the same rotue as that mapped
out by Mr.. Childs. Gindelsperger, it
was believed would secure fran
chise Tuesday, but the Commission
ers will likely consider the matter a
few days longer.
Gindelsperger already has posted
$1,000 with the Cuyahoga County Com
missioners as forfeit that he
build the line, and he says he will al
so deposit reasonable forfeit with
the Commissioners Of Summit county.

Anerve. Ionic never eausled

the announcement of the Boer success
in the capture of General Methuen.
1t was noted during the address that
the Ex-Governor threw an unusual
amount of energy and feeling into his
words, and the collapse, the physicians
think, resulted from overstraning his
already weakened physical powers.
Ever since the failure of the Globe
Savings bank in 1896. in which he was
involved Mr.. Altgeld has not been
well man, and for some months after
the Spalding crash it was feared that
his death was only question of short
time. Even when serving his last year
as Governor his health was none too
good.
When ii was learned that he was n
victim Of locomOtor ataxia his friends
gave him up. But he rallied, although
he was never again his odd vigorous
self.
Lately, however, the disease marked
him strongly, and quite recently his
appearance caused grave forebodings
"lih hiA'ttS' I1Io lullu WIS JuSt ds
clear and active as Of old, but though
the spirit was willing the flesh weak.
Mr.. Altgeld in the speech which was
fated to be his last, declared that all
friends Of humanity owed debt of
gratitude to Governor Yates for issuing
n proclamation soliciting assistance for
the Boer women and children in their
concentration camps which the British
are maintaining in South Africa,
The speaker said that the people Of
America had raised large sum of
money to relieve the distress Of
the Bper women and children, but were
unable to send it TO them because
Lord Paunccfote, the British Ambas-
sador at Washington, objected to it.
He further charged that Lord Paunce.
fote had for years meddled with
American affairs.
There were eighteen counts and spe-
ciiic charges in Governor Altgeld's in
dictment. He said in substance:
Just before the beginning of the
Spanish war, Lord Pauncefote, repre-
senting the aristrocracy, meddled in
our affairs and tried to unite the gov
ernmenss in Europe in making a joint
protest against Americas interference
on behalf OF Cuba. But when the
American people asserted themselves
and our government was compelled to
go to the rescue of Cuba, England is
sued n strong neutrality proclamation.
forbidding all of her subjects every
where from furnishing us any aid or
doing anything that would in any way
he n violation of the strictest neutral
ity."
1t was a speech OF the typical old
Governor who had risen from the tow
path to the chief of the State.
Death was Mt hand, but his voice
had all the old fire and all the old
sympathy which had won him the
hearts of many people. 1t was Gov
ernor Altgeld who pardoned the three
Chicago anarchists, and whose views
were frequently called annrchistic. vet
his sincerity was questioned by few.

COLONIAL
Taken Over by the
Builders.
The Local Stockholders Lost
About S3S,000.

The Colonial theatre has changed
hands, the property passing into the
possession OF the Amalgamated The
atre Building Association, of New
York. The title transfer was made to
Il. l.. Horn, who superlntended the
building of the Colonial.
When the company was first formed
by local men, it was with the under
standing that if $35, 900 could be raised
in Akron, about the same amount
would be subscribed by outside parties
The outside parties could not fulfill
their part of the agreement. and con
sequently, all the expense fell on the
local people, who did not care to &c
deeper in the matter. The Amalga
mated Association, builders of the
theatre, was the largest creditor, and
to avoid litigation, the local stockhold
ers decided to surrender all their stock
for nothing Consequently the Colon
ial is now owned by New Workers.
