apoplectic stroke, as was at first be-
lieved. -
'.At5 the. request of Mr.. Murphy's rela-
tives no. autopsy was held over the body

-diately before he died he stood up in his
buggy and THAT he fell over to the ground
If he had died from apoplexy he Woulc
not have stood up but would have SUM

switch enginec He received a large
scalp wound and the toes Of both of
his feet were cut. off. AS Mr.. Rausch
is seventy 4Efsht years old, fears were
entertained last night that he might
not survive the shock.
Mr.. Rausch was on his way to his
home from a meaE market, and was
hurrying along across the tracks, when
the rear of a freight train came upon
him suddenly and threw him to the
ground. He. had used the short cut
over twenty years and was familiar
with the way, but the freight running
in the dark without a light to warn
him, took him unawares
He was found unconscious by one or
the yard men and was carried to the
yard office. Some one notified Cor
oner Miller that man had been killed,
but before he started out he called up

At the instance of Mr.. Regan, the
assembly went on record last night IA
VOring the insertion Of clause in all
permits granted for the placing OF tel
epfone or telegraph wires a provision
that the company must pay for their
removal when such course is ordered
by the city council.
The question arose on the appllca-
tions Of the Twin City Telephone COM
pai1y and the Union Manufacturing
company for permission to use several
streets and alleys for poles and wires,
the latter for wires carrying electricity
for light and power.
There seems to have been cenSid-
cradle trouble in securing the removal
of wires," said Mr.. Regan, 'and it has
occurred to me that it is wrong to per-
NIT the city to pay for the removal Of
wires and poles that should be taken
down by the companies"
DIR. Schiffmann said that he had a
list of removal orders passed by the
council that had not been obeyed, and
thought that the work should be done
and the cost charged to the companies.
Corporation Attorney Michael ex-
planned that many of the orders passed
by the council were invalid, but that
the city was prepared to enforce those
properly passed.
The motion of Mr.. Regan to incorpo-
rate in the applications the provision
as to the removal of the poles and
wires carried by a unanimous vote.

curing permission to hold open air
meetings on the streets.
'1 called on the city attorney and
he pronounced my papers all right,
said Gen. Creeach, land then I asked
the chief of police for permission to
hold meetings. He said that the
streets were so narrow here that he did
not think I could be allowed to hold
the meetings. He told me to como
around today, and when 1 came today
he said / should come tomorrow. / did
not think that would have any trou-
BILE in getting the privilege to hold
the meetings, as / understand that the
Volunteers Of America and the Saliva
ton Army enjoy it. I have been at
considerable expense in coming here
with my family to take up my work
here, and I hope I shall not have to
move again.
1--WE do not want to interfere with
any religious organization or it's work,
said Chief O'Connor and we do not
want to have the city overrun with
people preaching on the street. We
are investigating Mr.. Creeach and will
let him know soon whether we can
grant his request.
