LITTLE FOR DEPosIToRs
Enterprise Bank May Only Pay Them
 Ten Per Cent.

Pittsburg, Dec. 1.-The Post to-mor- row will say that the Pennsylvania De- velopment company which controls the Santa Fe-Mexican Central railroad and other enterprises in New Mexico owes the closed Enterprise National bank be- tween four and five hundred thousand dollars. The books of the company have been audited and correspond with those of the bank. It was learned to-day that perhaps $S25,0O0 would be saved from the wreck of the closed bank, which means little for the $500 deposi- tors who had $2,7OO,OOO on deposit. If the state treasurer loses his suit against the directors and the state Is forced to share as an individual depos- itor there will be less than 13 per cent. for distribution.

TO PROHIBIT FooTBALL.
Boston Alderman Intends to Introduce
 an Ordinance.

Boston, Dec. 1,--As result of 4the agitation against the game of football as at present played by the schools and colleges in the United States, Alderman Frank J. O'Toole stated tonight that he intends to introduce at the next meeting of the Boston board of alder men an order prohibiting the game within the city limits until such time as the rules have been so amended as to make fatalities and serious accidents an impossihility. Should this order be passed by both branches of the city government, it would affect intercolle- giate games of football in the Harvard stadium, as that structure is located on the Boston side of the Charles river.

 Ordinance Petitioners Given Leave to
 Withdraw
 Petitions for the passage of two new ordinances were given public hearings last evening by the committee on ordi- nances, Alderman Loos chairman, in city hall. The first petition taken up was that for the passage of an ordi- nance prohibiting children under the age of fifteen from lettering or being on the streets between the hours of 10 D. m. and a. m. without being accom- panied by parent or guardian. The proposed ordinance called for a penalty of fine of $50 for violation of the sec- ton prohibiting the child from being on the street and of fine of s1OO for the person permitting child under his charge to disobey the law.
 Mrs. D. l. Atwater, as spoleswoman for considerable delegation present representing the Mothers club. which association heartily endorsed the pro- posed ordinance at meeting held yes- terday afternoon, urged the matter earnestly. She thought that the hour should be set as early as 9 o'clock.
 Mrs. Fredericks, another member of the Mothers club, supported the o'clock suggestion. "All true mothers" she said, feel deeply that it should be g o'clock. This law should be enforced for the sake of the children"
 Judge Tyner, the author of the sug- gested ordinance, then outlined it and urged it's adoption. At least 75 per cent, said he, of the offenses committed by boys and girls, principally boys, which are brought before the police court are due to their being on the street late at night Much evil is the result of bad

MT. Redmond then proceeded to speak of the paramountcy of the home rule question beside which, he said, the question of the welfare and good will of the colonies sank into insigniticance English statesmen, he pointed out ought to conciliate the good will of the Irish people, who constituted one of the greatest fighting forces in ths world and whose sympathy was more valu- able than any foreign alliance.

PRES. PALMA RE-ELECTED,
Cuban Election Passes or With Hardly
 a Ripple,


 Havana, Dec. 1.-The political agita- tion which began six months ago with the national convention of the liberal party, and which has dwindled since the withdrawal of General Jose Miguel Gomez, the presidential candidate nam- ed by the convention, ended to-day in an election that was so quiet and un- interesting as to cause scarcely a. ripple of excitement. The vote cast was very light, this being due to the lack of in- terest in the wholly one-sided election and the heavy rains of Thursday night and to-day. The withdrawal of the liberals from all nominations as a pro- test against alleged injustices by the government and the people in conduct ing the primaries left a clear field for the moderates, and every moderate nominee was elected from President Palmo to the provincial councillors.

APARTMENT HOUSE G0TTED

 Out-NO Time to Save Anything
 Several Narrow Escapes-Plumbers
 Blamed for the Fire.
 Danbury, Dec. 1.-The fashionable apartment house at Palmforth avenue owned by David Beers and occupied by nine families, was gutted by flames to- night, the fire being a. spectacular ane and attracting thousands of persons Those living in the place were nearly all at supper when the fire broke out and so quickly did 1t spread that noth- ing was saved. ~--s5. <
 There were several narrow escapes but those on the upper floor but no one was injured. The building was a handsome frame affair, four stories high and ,little remains of it but the charred walls. It is thought that the fire was caused by sparks from plumb ers' apparatus as they had been work ing there and had left shortly before the fire broke out.
 The fire started in the attic and worked down through the lower floors with great rapidity, although heroic effort was made to check the flames by the owner who rushed to the attic and fought the fire soon after the alarm was given. MT. Beers was obliged to retreat and he was nearly struck by falling tinbers.' The flames got too goo g. start on the local fire depart ment, which was unable to cope with it but succeeded in saving nearby prop erty. Among the household effects de- strowed were seven pianos. It is thought that the loss will reach $1S,000 according to estimates made tonight of the various tenants. This. loss is partly covered by insurance. g' f.
 Those having apartments in the building besides MT. Beers were Louis Cornwall, Hanford T. White, George Bateman, Mrs. Theodore Jennings, Miss Virginia Schweiner, John Blake, Ed ward Taylor, and Frank P. Bartley.

Denison, April 11.--William Rouil-
lard, an old Crawford county citi-
zen. died at his home in Denison Sun
day evening about 10 o'clock, at the
age Of 90 years.
Mr.. Rouilliard was French Cana
dian, and had for many years been
resident of Crawford county and had
been engaged in the business Of con-
tractor and builder. About four weeks
ago, he was taken sick with a car
buncle on the back Of his neck, which
soon grew to a large size and became
very painful on account of its close
ness to the spinal column. The case
was peculiar one on account of the
carbuncle not coming to head, but
on the contrary 1t spread into the sys-
tenn and completely paralyzed the pa
tient, and for the past week he had
been in an unconscious condition. Last
week, the physicians lanced the car
buncle, but it gave no relief whatever
to the patient.

| A meeting of farmers was held in
the Badke school house to discuss the
advisability of establishing a co-op-
erative grain elevator somewhere in
Butler township near the Milwaukee
railroad. Farmers are coming more
to see the profit derived from the CO.

favoring these moves to better the re-
suits of their toll. Several creameries
have been very successfully operated
this way in the county and farmers
have been paid handsome profits. The
one at Lake City is said to command
the territory of the whole south half
of Calhoun county. If the creamery
can be made to pay it is argued that
the elevator ought to be even more
successful.
