ton as the remainder of the roadway of
said BRIDGE
The ordinance expressly states that in
the use of the Kansas avenue bridge the
railway company shall be subject to all
the restrictions, or privileges described
in the original franchise ordinance I'M
der which the organization operates,
County Commissioner s. H. Haynes
last night expressed his opinion that
should the city council see fit to grant
this railway franchise upon the bridge
the county could and would interpose
no objection. He said the question of
authority over the bridge had been set
tied in the district court where an opin
ION was given placing all responsibility
Tor control of and maintenance with the
city authorities. Mr. Haynes expressed
himself as personally unfavorable to the
idea of giving the bridge to the street
car company.
Mr.. Haynes was not alone in his OPPOSE
ton to the endorsement of the measure.
William Meade, a farmer who attended
the meeting. stated his objections volubly.
He ridiculed the idea of the necessity of
a line across the bridge, advised the North
Topeka people to walk for the sake OF
their health and related an incident of
how, when driving a load of hay over
the old steel trussed bridge, he had
smashed every one of the windows in one
side of a passing street car, afterwards
escaping a S. fine in police court.
Meade'S Strident voice, quaint language
and uncouth diction aroused the audience
to considerable mirthful demonstration,

pliance with the desire of the North To-
peka people that this cut be closed, has

London, Aug 25.-Arthur Russell, ex-
aminer of the official receivers Office,
who had charge of the liquidation of

the principal witness today. against
Wright. He said that at the end of No

the amount of $SO17, $50. This liability
which did not appear on the balance
sheet December 5, 1900. was transferred
to the books of the sister companies

tor. In December the London & Globe
was dealing in shares of companies
which had never been formed and to
which no capital had ever been sub

Wright was managing director had no

COMING DRAMATIC EVENTS.

Elmer Walters "A Millionaire Tramp"
contains seven comedy characters. Each
one differs from the other, and lends
opportunity for variety and action. The
ghost scene in the first and the darby
porter's scene in the third act are two
of the funniest. The dramatic scenes
are fully abreast of the comedy, and
the scenic mounting good. The church
of the Holy Cross in the second act is
handsome. The opera house in the third
act is novelty, while the old hotel in
the last act is quaint and original. 1t
comes to the New Crawford tonight.
Sunday night Cora Van Tassell will

ford as Pansy Chadburn in the new ro-

er hit to her list of successes. She will
be remembered by her clever work in

pleasing voice and a spirited and vivac-
ious manner 1.-The Volunteer" is said
to contain many stirring scenes and
thrilling climaxes. The company has
been carefully selected so as to render
