COMPLY WITH CONTRACT.

The Mt. Sterling Water Light
& Ice Co. has a contract with the
city of Mt. Sterling to furnish
water for fire purposes. Said COM
pany is paid 81, 900 per year for
such service. 1t is the business Of
said company to comply with its
contract. If it fails to furnish the
water it should be held responsible
for losses resulting from such fail
ure. When fire occurs water is
especially needed. That the heavy
loss of property by FIRE in this city
on the morning of January 1, 1904,
is largely due to inadequate supply
of water is generally conceded by
those who saw the feeble stream
which gently flowed from the noz-
zle, and by the declaration of those
whose business it is to combat the
flames. w eak was the pressure
when the water was turned on, and
as the man in charge Of the pump
ing station could not reused
by telephone, Mr.. c. K. Oldham
hired man to go on horseback to
the station about seven miles from
town to rouse the man.
J The Chief of the fire department
give it as his opinion that the fire
would have been confined to the
building in which it started if the
supply Of water had been accord
ing to contract, thus preventing
the destruction of l. r. Tabb's prop
erty, the c. c. Chenault livery
stable, the loss at the Methodist
Church. to Stephens & Fesler and
some Others.
We are informed that by using
our city engine much property adj
jacent to the burnt district was
saved.
Ii reports be true this great loss
is not the first that has resulted
from the failure of the company to
supply water.
The loss of property though
great is not to be compared to the
loss of life. 1t is altogether prob
able that our esteemed citizen, J.
w. Barnes, and the industrious
colored man, Frank Daniel, would
not now be numbered with the
dead if sufficient water power had
Seen furnished.
AS citizens and taxpayers we re-
quest and urge the City Council to
take such action as will compel the
Mt. Sterling Water Light & Ice
Co. to comply with its contract,

and mixed with blue grass seed, a
handsome profit being realized by
adulteration. Another bill will

the employment of Migrants on

other delegation. We were instruct
ed by the State convention to vote as
a unit for Judge Parker and while
it was not our belief that he was the
strongest candidate, we naturally
obeyed the mandate of the conVen-
ton.
1--WE came here with the belief that
Cleveland was the strongest man to
nominate and the easiest man to elect.
1t was ascertained, after consultation,
that in this conclusion we did not
agree with the majority of the dele
gates. Now that the convention has
spoken and paid the high honor to
Judge Parker, Tammany Hall VIII go
to work at once in New York county
and roll up for him the largest plu-
rality ever given to the presidential
candidate IF Democracy. If the
Democrats throughout the State and
throughout the nation will work to
secure the election of Judge Parker
as the loyal Democrats of Tammany
Hall will work, there can be but one
result and that is victory"

Nomination Gratifies Cleveland.
(By the Associated Press.)

BuZzards Bay. Mass, July g.
Former President Grover Cleveland,
who is the guest of Joseph Jefferson
was advised Of the nomination of
Judge Parker for President as soon
as he awoke this morning. Later Mr..
Cleveland sent the following state
ment to the Associated Press
'"Mr. Cleveland declined to see any
reporter or representative of the press
but sends the following words from
his room to the Associated Press
II am in absolute ignorance of the
action of the st. Louis convention, ex-
cept in so far as it has nominated Mr..
Parker as presidential candidate
With this result l am abundantly
gratified, and [ hope that the re-
mainder of the work of the conven-
ton will add to the encouraging pros
poets of Democratic success. This
is all / can possibly say at this time.
1 do not know when l shall have an
opportunity to read the platform
adopted or to learn of the entire pro
ceedings of the convention. In any
event it is absolutely certain that no
further expression from me NAV be
expected at present. / hope to be re-
lieved of further importantly in this
subject
