Unknown Tyne of Dwelling.

AN almost unknown type OF resi-
dence in the immediate outskirts OF the
city is the double house Of brick
either with or without n reasonable
amount Of ground about II. There Is
most frequent demand for houses Of
this character. and by people who are
quite able and willing 10 pay the cost
Of the additional land. and yet such
properties are not TO be had. within
reason or without.
Il must not fail 10 mention. as
quite unequal to the demand. the house
within the city limits. formerly SO
plentiful but now almost obsolete, hay
ing a good-sized side lawn. This latter
feature. enhancing so materially the
comfort and the adornment OF the home
has gradually yielded 10 the greater
demand for building space, and many
erstwhile beautiful lawns and gardens
are now displaced by modern brick
structures. which have almost univer
sally relegated the lawn TO the re
moter suburbs"

Unsatisfable Demands.

Of profit. This condition may be as

Of greater Importance by reason of the
promises IT held for realty bid deals

principal business done was the shift
Ing Of loans and the making OF new
ones preparatory TO the. beginning of
building operations. In this latter field
the activity which was noted in these
columns last Sunday has increased
measurably. The majority of archi-

busy with the preparation OF plans for
private dwellings of every character,
though mostly OF modest proportions.

first report of the accident received
in this city was that the boiler had
exploded and that both engineer and
fireman were killed. c. c. Craig was
the engineer and N. A. Peltier the
fireman Craig stayed with the en-
gine to shut off the steam and was
hidden from view by the cloud of es-
Gaping steam. This led to the report
that he was missing.
A freight engine was taken from
the nearest train and pulled the train
into this city, crossing over onto the
eastbound track on the cross-over,
short distance east of the point where
the accident happened. Another en-
gine and crew was sent 20 this city

May be No More Subsidies

A body blow is to be given rail
road subsidies at the forthcoming
session of the legislature. At the last
session the old subsidy law was
broadened by authorizing civil cor
porations to vote aid to trolfey lines
the old law contemplating only aid
to steam lines. This session an effort
will be made to appeal all subsidy
acts the impression prevailing that the
appropriation of public funds by tax
alton, for private purposes has gone
to extremes. Senator Farber, OF
Frankfort, it is understood will lead
the fight on the existing statute and
he will have a large following, as
there is feeling among a large ele-
ment of the taxpayers that taxation
of this kind should cease"
