LAST SPIKE DRIVEN.
Spectacular Performance Takes
Place Last Evening

Contractor Fred Dean and Engineer
w. l.. Webb Have the Joint Honor
Rail and Tie Snffef Severely From
Misdirected BIows-Other Trolley
News.
The last spikes have been driven
on the loop of the street car line.
Prof Walter L. Webb and Contrac-
tor Fred Dean olficiated at the
ceremony which occurred IRON five
to six p m. on Wednesday.
Two interested spectators, one Of
them being a New DOMINION man,
watched the operation
First soft tie was selected and
all the spikes we're driven in all the
other ties IN that vicinity Then
the spike drivers started the two
spikes by driving them half way in
the wood.
Next hammers were given to the
two performers who seemed to think
that the man who missed the spike
oitenest won the game. 1t was q
tie. 1t was also rail, that they
hit.
IT. was funny to the Italians
who had been driving spikes and
they laughed although in great awe
of the boss and the engineer. But
nobody was crippled and after the
spikes were pounded down the per
formers took off their hats and
bowed profoundly to every one in
the party.
By Friday evening the cars may
be running around the loop. Ballast
IS holding them back and will pre-
vent the loop being completed by
this evening. Plenty of ballast will
be here by tomorrow and it is being
placed as fast as it comes.
With the start of the cars around
the loop there will be several changes
and innovations in the schedule and
other things in connection with the
car system.
The first Of the week will witness
the start of work on the line up
Walnut street from High street to
the Walnut street bridge and car
barns. This will not be started
until after Sunday as the street
would be badly torn up without hope
of getting it back before the day of
rest if a start were made now. Fred
Dean will lay this bit of track.
Workmen are engaged in running
the feed wire to the west side and
will start at once to string the wire
along the route to Granville. The
contract for this road is to be let IN
a very short time and work will be
steadily pushed on it.

WHERE Is "THE PENINsULAso
According to Charter it is in Second
and Third wards Of City.

Some question has arisen as to
whether tthe Peninsula is in the
Second or Third ward of the
city. The charter says that all that
land that was in the old town of
Greenmont, and between the King
wood pike and Decker's creek shall
constitute the Second ward. What
is known as the Peninsula was part Of
Greenmont. On the other hand,
Decker's creek has been taken as the
boundary line between the Second and
Third wards of the city. The PENN
sula is on the Third ward side, but, at
the same time is part of the former
town Of Greenmont More or less i'm
poItance will attach TO this ques-
tion when the Peninsula becomes
more thickly populated, and munich
pal politics become more strenuous.

SCALE FIXED.
Denny Faction Window Glass Workers
Will Continue to Receive High
Wages of Last Year.

Wages of Last Year.
The wage scale of the Denny fac
ton of the window glass workers
has been fixed for the fire of 1903 4.
Contrary to the general expectation
it remains at the high mark reached
in the settlement for last year, the
highest ever paid in the history of
the trade. A reduction of from 20
to 40 per cent. had been looked for
this year
However, the conference was
amicable in the extreme and the
the settlement was reached without
trouble The Burns faction has not
yet taken up the wage question with
the American Window Glass com
pany, but it is not expected that any
reduction will be accepted. About
10000 men are affected by the
Denny settlement.
The effect of the Niagara Falls
agreement on the trade is expected
to be beneficial. The market has
been dull for some time, the jobbers
believing that the men would be
compelled to agree to reduction,
with the result that lower prices
would rule during the coming sea
son. The assurance that this will
not be the case will tend, it is
thought, to strengthen the market
Immediately and restore activity.
Few orders have been placed for
future delivery since the summer
shut down of the Independent
works.

DIDN'T FIND SPOOK
Though boys had seen Strange Antics
Library Mystery may be Solved.

Policeman Frank Canoe made a
thorough search of the Library last
night for the spook, but failed to
find either person or thing.
A number of boys saw a man and
and woman come out OF the building
and vanish suddenly, when observed.
Later they saw being robed in
white crawl across the floor. 1t ap-
peared again later this time IN black
carrying an umbrella. 1t was after
these stunts that Canoe made the
search.
The opinion prevails that the
mystery of the Library ghost is
about to be solved with develop
ments more sensational than the
story Of the ghost itself.

ed glass, sand from the Keystone

The sand found near the factory
is of fine quality, but not pure white
as is required in making silver clear
ware.

100000, but only $4,000 will be
invested in the factory at the start.

held by local people.

pany are Leopold Sigwart, president,
August Boehler, vice president, j. p.
Warwick, secretary and general
manager and CT. Boehler, treasurer
These officers together with Otto
Sigwalt constitute the Board of
Directors. 1t will be seen by the
personnel of this board that all the
members are practical glass men,
and the new enterprise is in capable
management. Mr. Warwick is con-
nected with the Jones factory and
the other gentlemen with the Seneca
factory.

did the shooting was the testimony
of woman who said she knew the
sound of the gun as one belonging
to Palmer or Watkins. The prisoners
