A DEFECTIVE DESCRIPTION
Claimed That tho District Was I'm.
properly Described; That the Com
mon Council Having Refused
License Money Saloons
Should Run.

The Uniontown saloon cases promise
to be hotly contested. The temperance
element, which is in the majority, is
determined that no saloons shall be al
lowed in the residence district of Pre-
cinct No. /. On the other hand. the
saloons contend that the prohibitory
law has not been complied with. That
so far as local option is concerned, that
II cannot be adopted by single pre-
clnct. but must be adopted by the
county as whole; that precinct No.
was not properly described In the petit
ton and 1t is impossible to determine
what section of the city is intended to
be included in the prohibited district
Further that the law implicitly re-
quires that all license money for the
unexpired term must be refunded to
the saloonkeepers, and this not having
been done, they should be permitted to
keep open until 1t is returned.
It is claimed that the common coun-
Gil will not return this license money,
II being claimed that a majority of the
council is opposed to the closing of
the saloons. BY the closing of the sa-
looms, the city will lose $1,000 annually,
and that amount having been figured in
on the estimated receipts in making
the appropriations for the year, the city
afford to lose it, If the court
holds the law valid and the saloons
are forced to colse. the common council
will be compelled to raise the theater
and other licenses in order to make up
the deficiency.

The Railroads Are Slowing Up In
Their Demands.
STRUCTURAL STEEL STRONG
Chicago Is Heavy Buyer in Steel for
Building Purposes for the Coming
Year-Statistics of, the
Iron Trade.

New York, Jan. 5.-Interest centers
in the steel trade in which there is,
says the Iron Age, a shade of disap-
pointment from the standpoint Of the
mills. The railroads have not come
forth as literally with their orders as
expected.
The Vanderbilt lines placed total
tonnage of 10000 tons which is below
the estimate.
The Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton
road has ordered 10000 tons. which
may be increased to $4,000.
The Reading system has placed about
$4,000 tons. 1t turns out that the re-
quirements of the Southern railway
were very much larger than was
thought at first. The total amount
placed was about 10000 tons.
1t is worthy of note that leading sell
ers Of billets now ask $25 for the first
half of this year and s27 for the sec
ond six months.
The continued buying by the rail-
roads is observed in rolling stock.
Some large orders for steel cars have
been given out and negotiations fol-
additional lots are pending. This has
led to general activity for the plate
and structural mills.
What may be very large trasaction
Is the contract for the bridge work for
the Hartman lines.
This calls for minimum OF $4,000
tons but It may be expanded to a
maximum of $4,000 to $4,000 tons, Some
good work is coming in other quar-
ters. In Chicago structures in the dry
goods district will require about $4,000
tons. 1t is noted, however, that sharp
competition has again developed on
fabrics of structural steel. and that
the bridge shops are quoting what
seem inexplicable prices in view OF the
official figures for shapes made by the
rolling mills.

Since 1883 Miss Pugh has been sub

A peculiar Authorization under
which Miss Pugh is laboring is a
contest over the colors of blue and

judge KEENAN, Decides Fight Over
Third Avenue Franchise Against
the Spokane Traction Company

Through a decision by Judge Ken
nan today in the case of the Wash
ington Water Power company against
the city the company wins the big
suit which involves the right of way
over Third avenue, now occupied by
the Spokane Traction company.
The victory is one which gives to
the water power company the right
to lay and use tracks for street car
purposes on Third avenue east to
Union Park over the route now used
by the traction company for it's
Union Park line.
Judge KEENAN,, in deciding the case,
declared his belief that the water
power company's franchise, granted
some years ago, is valid and binding
on the city.
When the traction company applied
for the franchise 1t was shown in
the city council that the water power
company had franchise for a line
over Third avenue.
The contention was made, however,
that the water power companys
franchise had expired without being
used or the terms complied with 1t
ton company was able to get its
franchise through the council and,
by rushing the work, get the tracks
