Matte Buchanan, the woman,
in jail here charged with the
murder of Dancey Blewett. the
young man who was killed
on Cedar creek in the Trinity
neighborhood on the 18th of July,
will have her preliminary trial on
next Friday at Bryant's store in
the Trinity neighborhood before
Justices of the Peace e. B. Erwin
and Beverly Matthews. The
woman is unrepresented by
counsel as yet.
Since the sad end of this young
man and the subsequent incar-
ceration Of the Buchanan woman
in the belief that she was impli-
Gated in the killing or knew who
was the murderer, those who
have been at work on the case
have followed other cleWs which
promise to unravel the mystery.
Tt is said now that they have
evidence and testimony enough
to connect negro man with the
crime and the authorities hope
to have him in hand by Friday in
time for the trial.

Death OF Mr.. George Hurry.

Mr.. George Hurry died at his
home on North Market street
last Sunday at noon after several
days of intense suffering. Mr.
Hurry was taken Ill about a week
ago and the nature of his attack
rendered a surgical operation
necessary. Drs. Crigler and Da-
Wis attended him in the hope of
giving relief, but his advanced
age and his enfeebled condition
resulted in death. Mr.. Hurry
was in his 18th year.
The subject of this brief
sketch was one of Columbus
oldest residents and citizens
Born at Grevenmacha. Grand
Dushe of Luxembourg, on April
9th. 1927. the early years of his
life were spent in his native coun-
try until his removal to America.
He was married IN 1854 and the
following year moved to Column
bus where he has resided ever
since. Six children survive him,
all of whom were at his bedside
except one, Mr.. Charles Hurry,
whose home is in Michigan, and

bus. Mr.. Hurry for years has
been engaged in the confection-
cry business here and his record
was one of honorable dealing with
all men. Quiet and reserved in
his manner, believing in the wis
dom of attending strictly to his
own affairs, he was best known
in his home, and those who
were close to him, are best pre-
pared TO know his virtues. To
his daughters and sons his death
is a sorrowful blow, and in their
grief the sympathy of countless
friends in this city attends them.
The funeral was held last Mon.
day afternoon from the residence
on North Market street, Rev.
Robt. w. Barnwell officiating,
after which the body was bourne
to Friendship Cemetery and laid
to rest beside that of his beloved
wife, who only a short while age
preceded him. The following
acted as pall-bearers: John B.
Childers. M. Runciman, John
Robertson, w. r. McManus, d,

The singing school which be-
gan here on the 10Th AID ended
to-day the 29th taught by Prof.
Wood Springfield, of McShan,

higher and nobler aims.
As a result of his labor here
we have organized a class here to
beknown as the Mt. Vernon class.

The Street Railway.

The Council met last night TO
again discuss the matter of grant
ing to Messrs Abbott, O'Neill
and Heard a franchise for a
street railway. The promoters
of the company and the Council
have about agreed upon the terms
of the franchise with two excep-
tons and the meeting last night
was for the purposeof discussing
these and arriving at a basis for
the granting Of the right.
1t will be recalled that at a
meeting held last week the Coun
ell demanded of the projectors
of this enterprise a forfeit of
s., 900 as a guarantee Of good
faith. The street car com pany
refused to put up this amount
and, subsequently. the sum was
reduced to ZOO by the Street
Committee and the Council was
expected to ratify this action last
night. Mr.. Heard left the city
last Friday to consult with Mr..
Abbott, one of the chief promo
tiers of the road, relative to the
forfeit and. other features Of the
franchise, and he returned last
Monday and met the Street Com
mittee at conference Monday
night.
The two points at issue be
tween the company and the
Street Committee are the ques
ton of exemption from city taxes
for five years and the question
of forfeiture of the franchise
rights in the event that the com
pany does not fulfill it's part o.
the conditions imposed. Law
yers here are of the opinion tha1
the city has no right to gran
immunity from municipal tax
alton, but the company asks it
and it has been granted will
the understanding that the city ,:
action will not hold in tht
event that a higher authority de
crees otherwise. The road 8 pro
moters want the ordinance Il
read that exemption from city
taxation is granted for five years
without reference to a higher an
thority.
The other point at issue is tn
forfeiture of the franchise il
the event that the company doe
not carry out it's part of the con
tract, which is to begin the worl
in good faith by December 25tl
next, and to have completed ant
to operate and continue t.
operate as the public s interes
demands within twelve months
from that date or December
25th, 1905, not less thar
three miles of track. A thre,
months clause has been sug
| gested, that if the company shall
cease to operate it's lines TO.
three months that it will forfeit
its rights under the franchise
but others contend and it seems
with good sense that this featur,
is provided for in another sec
ton, which provides for a for
fixture in the event that the lin
is not begun, built and operated
as provided for. Several littl'
points at issue exist between
the company and the Council
and the meeting last night wa
for the purpose of seeing i
these could not be harmonizet
