The city council has passed an or
dinance regulating telephone rates
in Louisville. The ordinance fixes
the maximum rate: In business
houses for single line, $4 month;
party lines, so; in residences for
single lines. So a month; party lines,
$1.50 a month. This affects only the
Bell company, as the Home rates are
made the basis of the schedule fixed.
The council is proceeding in this
matter only after eminent legal adj
vice as to its authority to fix rates,
and after inquiring into the earnings,
operating expenses and fixed
charges. The courts will almost
certainly sustain the council.

Who Formerly Worked at
This Place, Confesses to
Causing D. & r. @.
Horror.

Operators. f. Lively, whose home
was at Mdnfordville. KY. and who
formerly worked at this and other
points on the Henderson division,
says he was responsible for the head
end collision that occurred near
Adobe on the d. &R. G. railroad
March 16, in which SO people were
killed and injured. Lively was
operator at Swallow Fork. Col, and
was working for the night man, Van
Duzen, the night of the accident.
An order was put out at Swallow
Fork for passenger train No. 3 to
meet passenger train &c at Adobe,
When No. 3 passed Swallow Fork
Operator Lively was asleep. The
train dispatcher at Pueblo, shortly
after No. had passed, asked opera
tor Lively if No. 3 was by his station
and he said it was nots On the
of this information the dis
patcher put out another order that
the trains would meet at Swallow
Fork, instead of Adobe. A few
later the trains crashed to-
gether with the above result. The
of the L. & N will natur-
ally wonder how No. got by the
board at Swallow Fork, as it is Gus
-omary on this road for all trains
to stop at train order offices if the
signal is red. and also if they do not |
change from red to white, but it is
exactly the reverse on the D. & R.
j. The semaphore on that road
stands at safety unless there is an
order and then it is pulled to show
he red light or stop signal. Oper-
ltor Lively was considered good |

Worthless Finds.

Confederate bills, probably coun'
terfeit Uncle Sam promises to pay,
bones of a supposed man, etc., have
been picked out of the debris since
excavating was begun for the new
Bank of Hopkinsville building. AS
yet no "coin of the realm has been
fshed out. 1t is probable that the
bones found are all that remains of
a goat, as the third story of the
building was used by the Odd Eel
lows from 1882 up to the time the
order moved into its own building at
Ninth and Virginia streets.

The Chattanooga lynchers are ur
against the real thing this time. A
special from Washington says: THE
Supreme Court of the United States
proposes to bring to justice the men
who violated its mandate and lynch
ed Ed Johnson, a negro condemned
to death at Chattanooga, Tenn, for
criminal assault on a young woman.
The court is indignant, and in ac-
cordance with its direction the De-
partment of Justice has taken action
to ascertain the identity of and Sc
cure the punishment of the lynchers.
1t is said that this is the first time a
positive order of the United States
Supreme Court has ever been viola
ted by the people in any part of the
Union"

done so have voluntarily agreed to
quit. Their names will be found in
the list below, which includes every
liquor dealer in the city.
1t is due to the saloon men to say
that not one of them refused to sign
the agreement willingly. No prom
ises Of any kind were made to in
duce them to sign.
Councilman Ware was largely in
strumental in bringing about the
agreement, following Mayor Meach-

tion that some were selling on Sun
day, and was ready, with the coun-
ellis assistance to enforce the Sun
day law. His recommendation that
a mo screen" ordinance be passed

ordered drawn for the next meeting.

ment it may be required to enforce
an observance of the laws.
