REDUCTION. OF SALARIES.
The Official Knife Was Applied Mos
Effectively.

1t was only recently that the Caucas-
ian, commenting on the generosity of
the council in their raise of the salaries
of officials, suggested in all kindness a
revision of action in keeping with the
principles which are applied to business
affairs. 1t was evident, on second
thought, that the majority of the coun-
Gil had been misled on a plea senti-
mental, which is apt to influence the
best of men in good motives, but when
the council realized that the aggregated
salaries were beyond reasonable limits,
the council as men of honor and officials
identified with the best interests of the
community, determined on & reconsid-
Grafton of their action, and accordingly
met Friday night at which meeting it
was agreed that the salaries be reduced
as follows: Auditor Hayes is allowed
S25 per month extra compensation as
secretary to the mayor and clerk of the
various committees. His salary is fixed
in the charter at $I2oo per annum City
attorney $3.50 per month, reduced from
$Iooeo. City engineer $I75 per month,
reduced from $780, Chief of fire depart
ment was unchanged, being $1z5. The
Office of superintendent of street clean
ing and sprinkfing, salary. $I25, was
abolished and consolidated with the
street commissioner department and
fixed at SIS per month
These reductions are to be effective
on and from June 1, next.
This spirit of economy will also be
by the taxpayers.

A SKUNK SKINNER.

j A little pimple necked dude, who's.
great grandfather made a barrel o.
money skinning nuskrats and selling
skunk skins, is to be married soon al
Newport and the New York SUNDAY
papers have for months been full Oh
goo goo talks about it. The sterling adj
vocate of Jeffersonian simplicity. the
New York American, has printed acres
OF pictuers of the brides lingerie, and
the groom's entire wardrobe, from his
paja1nas to his toothpick case have been
gorgeously illustrated in all the picture
papers. We are growing to be very
democratic nation--nit- Crowley Sig
nal. j.
When the S S S is the badge Of meas
uren1ent without regard to excellence
OF character, we may say why object to
a descendant of skunk skinner with
money to throw at birds, cutting a So
clety dash and having. acres of matter
printed IN newspapers about him and his
lingerie. In his dashings and cuttings of
pigeon wings, this relic of skinner
OF skunks could retort that his pedigree
IS as good as that of the Yankee niger
stealer and slave trader whose grandson
may now be a high roller in perhaps the
social 400" We will admit there is
some difference in the breed of skunks,
one Of which is tailless and walk on two
feet, but it is uneharitable to draw
odiotis comparisons, and we should not
forget the story Of the pot and the
kettle hanging over the same fire and
which were. equally black and snl,1tty.

which interest has ceased since ma
turity, $1,23O,05O; debt bearing no in
terest. S6,490,165; total. $1,312,261,
sos. This amount, however, does not
include 1895, 1926. 500 in certificates and

Blew Up the Bank.

The Ottoman bank at Salonica, Eu-
ropean Turkey, was destroyed by dy-
Mantle recently. The. Turkish postof-
fee and other buildings were also at
tackled, resulting in panic, during
which two men were killed and two
persons injured. A detachment of 1000
additional troops has since arrived
here from Smyrna.
The attack on the bank was carried
out by two bands of men. One OF
them attacked the guard on duty at the
bank and the other hurled the bombs.
1t is thought that the strong room re-
sisted the explosion. Several of the
men who took part in the attack have
been arrested.
In addition to the two bands which
attacked the bank, a number of men
rushed through the principal streets of
the city throwing bombs into the
cafes. Afterward bomb was thrown
into the railway station and some To-
comotives were damaged.
Steamer Destroyed by Bomb.
The destruction of the French steam
er Guadalquivir by an explosion while
leaving this port was evidently caused
by bomb. A Bulgarian has been ar
rested in connection with the outrage.

THE FLYER KILLS TWELVE PaO
PIE At DETROIT, MICH.
The Dead and Wounded Are Mostly
j Polish People From Toledo, Chic
They Were Waiting for Train in
the Evening When a Train Comes
From the Other Way.

Detroit, May 5.-A day of merry
making and celebration by 1900 Polish
excursionists from Toledo was brought
to a close by a frightful catastrophe
at the corner Of Garfield and De-
quindre streets at $3.50 o'clock ct
night, in which at least seven were
killed. The excursion was given by
the Polish Lancers Of Toledo over the
Lake Shore railroad. The excursion
lists left the train at the corner Of
Garfield and DeQuindre streets in the
morning, and were greeted by num-
Der of local Poles and Polish societies,
Josephat's church. An entertainment
was held later at Harmonic hall.
About o'clock the visitors began to
! gather again at the corner of Garfield
and Dequindre streets to take their
train back to Toledo.
Both the Lake Shore and Grand
Trunk tracks run out from the Brush
street station on Dequindre street.
Four policemen stood at the corner
Of Garfield and endeavored to keep
the excursionists from crowding
through the gates onto the track. De-
spite their efforts, hundreds crawled
under or over the gates and walked
down the dark tracks to await the
arrival of their train, which could De
seen coming slowly from the station.
Probably 1000 persons were scattered
along the tracks for two blocks wait
ing to board the Lake Shore excur-
sion train and secure seats. IT was
only few blocks down the track,
creeping carefully along.
Suddenly from out of the darkness
came the Grand Trunk Chicago-New
York express, known as the Pan
American Flyer. 1t plowed through
the mass of people, throwing them TO
both sides of the track, bruised and
manned, and grinding number Of
them under the wheels. Patrolman
! Fred Schultz, John Synda, a promiu-
ent local Pole, and numbers of others
who were at the crossing, assert that
the Flyers whistle was not blown nor
was the bell ringing. The Flyer was
checked and stopped as quickly as pos
sible and backed to the scene of the
catastrophe, where Tor two blocks
the track was covered with mangled
and dying people. Four of the dead
were killed outright and, the others
died after being taken to the hospitals.
The tracks are very dark below Can.
field street, and lanterns had to be
brought into use to find the victims
A neighboring coal Office, several
houses and the gateman's shanty at
the crossing were made temporary
hospitals, and the wounded were car
ried into them until the ambulances
arrived few moments later. Every
ambulance in the city was called 20
the scene, and the injured were soon
under the care of surgeons in the
hospitals.
