CLEVELAND. Feb. 20.--In the city
council tonight Mayor johnson direct
ly charged Councilmen Dewar and
Wilke Democrats, with having accept
ed bribes from the Cleveland Electric
Illuminating company.
At the same time Mayor Johnson
charged that the votes of all the Re-
publican members of the city council
had been Influenced by contributions
from that company to the last cam
paign fund of the Republican organiza-
ton and to the campaign expenses OF
the Republican candidates for the city
council.
The charges are the outcome of
Mayor Johnsons allegation of two
weeks ago, that the recent defeat of
the ordinance to annex the village of
South Brooklyn to the city of Cleve-
land had been brought about by un-
due influence.
At last Monday nights meeting of
the council the mayor repeated his
statements of alleged bribery and of
undue influence, but gave no names.
His accusations were denied with
much emphasis by several of the Re-
publican councilmen, and specific
charges in writing were demanded
These We're made tonight.
The council Immediately adopted a
resolution to investigate itself, and City
Solicitor Newton ID. Baker, a Demo-
crat, was appointed prosecutor of the
investigation. The resolution empow-
ers the city solicitor to subpoena wit
nesses and call for any books or other
documents which may be of value in
proving or disproving the mayors
charges.

young woman was killed and about
forty persons were injured, fifteen of
them badly, by the derailing of a COM
muters' train on the Erie railroad near
Fairlawn today.
The head car ran for some distance
on the rock ballast before i. toppled
over, and followed by the other cars
ment.
The dead girl, Miss Grace Matthews
of Suffern, N Y, was leaning out of
the window to see what had happened.
She was thrown out and crushed. Two
of the cars landed in big snowdrift,
Iessening the injuries to their occu-
pants.
The wounds of the injured consisted
chiefly of cuts and bruises. With a
few exceptions all the victims are resi-
dents of towns along the Erie railroad
between Middletown and Suffern.
The first of the injured to reach Pat
erson was a man named Montgomery
of Suffern He was only slightly in
jured. He said:
1--WE were running at a high rate of
speed when the accident happened.
The whole train except the engine
toppled down an embankment. The
first car turned completely over and
lay bottom upward at the bottom of
the ditch while the three other cars
turned over on their sides. The work
of rescuing the injured was begun
quickly by those who escaped un-
harmed and persons living in the
vicinity"

CHICAGO, Feb. 20.--Thomas w.

"Frenzied Finance" lashes James Fl.
Eckels, former comptroller Of the
treasury under the Cleveland admins
tration and president of the CONNER
cial National bank, for the part he took
i'm opening bids for $1000OO.OOO of gov

The bulk of the issue, according to
Lawson, was awarded to j. r. Morgan,
John A. Mccall and a few others,
many points higher than the govern
ment had proclaimed they could possi-
bly, sell for.
Mr.. Lawson says he does not charge
Mr.. Eckels with "peeking" into the
envelopes containing the bids, such
charge being unnecessary, as 1t has
been made many times.
President Eckels, who is also one of
the receivers for the Morgan interests
in the Chicago Union Traction, took

Gets the Fish.
II you are going a-fshing the first es-

This digging for worms Is hard work,
and IL might be well 10 know that an
easy method OF gathering them Is at

hammer and nail Put I'm your worms
and cover them with molst-not wet
moss. with just as much dirt AS clings
naturally TO the moss. Leave an air
chamber between the moss and the box
cover.
There Is no danger OF the bait dying
Ia such comfortable quarters. They
will grow fatter and stronger every
day. When you want a worm lift the
moss and you will find them all hang
Ing 90 Il like so many strings. Keep
the box IN damp. cool place. Ordi-
nary soapsuds poured ON the ground Is
good to bring earthworms 10 the sur
face.
The hellgamltes are great bait. To

service was opened at 2 pm. Quite
large crowd had gathered and
filled every available seat in the
building, which is structure 20 X

service, including solos and duets,
Mrs. A. f. Thomson talked to the
little folks on the Sunday School
lesson for the day, which was very
helpful, and much enjoyed by all.
Mr.. VIM. +. Rix, who has had charge
of the work since its beginning two

account of how it had been con
Quoted, and the principles for which
the church stands. He then intro
duced the Rev. l.. f. Upper, of

heart searching sermon from the
text-"Use not the grace of God in

in cash and pledges to be redeemed
within month. 1t is hoped to have
the building all closed in very
shortly. There will be a regular
Sunday School session every Sabbath
at 2.3O pm, followed by a brief
preaching service, to which everyone
is cordially invited. We trust that
the people of Blue Lick community
will unite to carry on the work sue
