WANT ORDINANCE AMENDED.
Grocers Find the License Ordinance
Is Too Sweeping.

The license tax ordinance recent.
| of worriment. The butchers are pro
| testing. and now the grOcers them
selves, the men who caused the ordt
nance to be introduced and who lob
bied for it's passage, are kicking.
A committee from the Retail Grocer!
association waited upon Recorder Con
nell yesterday and explained to him ;
new phase of the situation. The gro
ers have discovered that in their yea
to make the ordinance cover all kinds
of hucksters they unwittinsly included
many Of themselves under it's pro.
visions.
1t frequently happens that when g
grocer has an extra large supply OF
Strawberries or some other article or
hand and feels that he can't get rid OF
them at his store before they spoil, he
sends one Of his men out selling them
from wagon. Under the only inter-
probation of the ordinance possible
grocers doing this would be obliged to
pay regular license fee.
The members of the committee which
waited on the recorder yesterday eX-
planned that they thought it unfair to
tax merchant who pays a mercantile
tax. They admitted that the ordinance
as drawn up is a little bit too sweep
ing. The recorder explained that in
order to remedy the defect complained
of 1t would be necessary to-pass an
ordinance amending the original meas
ure, so as to eXonerate all merchants
paying a mercantile tax. 1t is probable
that such an ordinance will be intro
duced shortly.

KILLED BY ten
YEAR OLD BOY
THE FATAL END OF A CHIL-
DREN's QUARREL.
Eleven Year Old Mamie Cubellis, of
Winton, Struck with an Iron Rivet
Thrown by Ten Year Old Stephen
Cheyon and Died Within a Few
Minutes-She Had Been Abusing
the Little Fellows Sister and Re-
fused to Stop When He Told
Her To.

| Mamie Cubellis, an II year old girl
was killed yesterday afternoon in Win.
ton by Stephen Cheyon, a little lad only
ten years old.
Both children lived in double house
on River street, Winton. Their parents
are poor, and the life of the street had
been theirs. Yesterday afternoon they
were both playing near their home to.
gether with number Of other children
among whom was the Cheyon boys lit
| tie sister, who is about years old.
According to the story told by the
boy and several of the eye-witnesses OF
the affair, the Cubellis girl was teas
ing and annoying the Cheyon boys lit
tie sister, pulling her hair and scratch
ing her face.
''You stop that" said little Stephen,
who seems to be a manly little chap.
"You stop that and let my little sister
alone. Take some one your own size. !"
1t is said that the girl paid little
heed to what Stephen told her and
that in minute or two more she was
abusing his little sister again till the
latter cried out in pain and discomfort.
Little Stephen came over near her
again.
"You stop" he yelled and when she
didn't he reached down and picked up
an iron rivet which happened to be ly-
10 y,
great force at the Cubellis girl. 1t
struck her full behind the left ear She
gave a panied cry, started forward a
step or two and then fell headlong on
the street in ain unconscious condition.
She was carried into>>her house and
Dr. Thomas Monies, of Archibald, sum-
moned. He came in hurry but when
he arrived the girl was dead. He made
only cursory examination of the
wound but seems convinced that there
is fracture at the base of the skull.
Stephen Cheyon manfully stood his
ground and didn't attempt to run away
when he learned that the girl was dead
Perhaps this was due partly to the
fact that he isn't quite old enough to
realize fully the gravity Of the situa
tion. He was arrested by the authori
ties, but after DR.. Monies had COM
municated with Coroner Saltry by tele-
phone it was decided to release him un-
til this morning in the custody of his
parents.
When asked to cplain just how the af-
fair occurred he said as the tears came
into his eyes:
"That girl always used to like to
tease my little sister. She was pullin'
her hair and scratchin' her face today
and l told her to STOP She said she
didn't have to mind me and when she
wouldn't stop 1 picked somethin' up off
the road and threw it at her. I didn't
mean to hurt her bad. Only wanted to
scare her. Lots of boys throw stones
and things at each other. I didn't
mean to kill her and you don't think
they'll put me in Jail, do you?" and
the little fellow burst into tears.
Coroner J. +. Saltry will go to Win
ton this morning to investigate the
case.

HAN MAJ"

Senator Hanna. of Ohio. is pro
nounced in his opposition to the Mica
ragua canal bill The Ohio senator
declares himself in favor of the
Daricn route Not much is generally
or popularity known of the Darien
route, but Senator Hanna, by some
mysterious circumstance, came into
possession of the original plans of a
survey of what is known as the Da-
rien route across the isthmus, the
aforesaid plans having been discov-
cred in a sealed box stored away in
a barn somewhere in the state of New
York. How the plans, yellow with
age. got into the barn Senator Hanna
does not undertake to explain but
notwithstanding their doubtful origin,
they are sufficient for his present pur-
poses.

along with the others. After visiting
the Darien region and hearing the re-
ports OF their surveyors and engi-
neers, the commission pronounced
that route "out of the question.
The Darien route is said to be only
twcnty-six miles in length. but in its
construction long tunnel would be
necessary THE enormous cost of a
tunnel" says the commission. and
the practical impossibility of SO ven
tilating it as to make it feasible
passageway for ships of large dimen
sions, eliminated the Darien route
from consideration
The tunnel idea is an old one in
railroad building, but it is entirely a
new one in canal construction. fol
there is not ship tunnel in existence
1t Woud therefore be new and an un
tried experiment. Navigation under
ground with battleships costing ST.,
100000 each is rash conception

small steamship would not care te
venture into black hole several
miles long, filled with smoke and
gasses and walled in with ragged
granite.
But it is perhaps easier to defeat
canal Legislation by underground,
methods than any other. and Hanna
is an adept and expert in under
ground" work. 1t is very singular that
a man CT Hanna reputed practical
sense should favor a scheme. the
