RELIEF At LAST;
WAVE ON THE WAY
Mercury is Falling in Lake
Towns to North of
Hammond.
After TWENTY-FIVE HOT DAYS
People Here Stood up Bravely Under
Trying Ordeal of Heat and
Mosquitoes.

Possibly before this paper is print
ed this long promised and long de-
ferred cool wave will have shaken it's
skirts over Lake county and brought
welcome relief to the sweltering
thousands who have suffered brave
ly through twenty-five days of un-
intermitting torridity. The hopeful
sign at the present writing is a dis
patch from Milwaukee which says
that the temperature has dropped 25
degrees at that point within a few
hours.
Milwaukee in common with all
other points along the Lake Michi-
gan coast from st. Joe to Green Bay
has suffered intensely from the stiff
ing, humid atmosphere The prox-
unity of the lake from which relief
has daily been expected to come in
the form of the loudly advertised
breeze has only seemed to intensity
the heat.
The lake lying calm and placid at
the feet of the sweltering cities has
only served to throw back the rays
Of the scorching sun and make life
along the shore less endurabIe than
in towns in the interior of Indiana,
Illinois and Wisconsin.
Hammond has stood up braveIy
under the ordeal even while facing
and additional discomfort of a stingy
supply of ice.
Comparatively few heat prostra-
tions have been reported to the
health authorities. Those have come
from the congested factory districts
which lie in and about the town. AS
/ far as reported there have been no
fatalities traceable directly to the
heat. The mosquitoes bred in marsh
es have been a source of great dis
comfort to the people.
The people have faced the trying
ordeal with cheerful disposition
and are prepared to welcome the re-
lief with becoming thankfulness.

ONKNOWNMAN
MEETS DEATH
Is Killed by the $50 Monon
Passenger Train Last
Night.
BODY BADLY NANGLED
South Hammond Scene Of Accident
in Which Knight Of the Road
Loses His Life.

Last night as the Monon train No.
3, which passes through Hammond at
$50, was going through the South
Hammond yards. it ran over an un-
known man, throwing him to one side
OF the track. mangling his whole
body hardly levaing a whole bone.
The man, who is either day la
borer or an every day Knight of the
Road, appears to be of Irish descent,
about 80 years old, 5 feet. 2 inches in
height. weighs about 40 pounds, has
black hair, a sandy7noustache, and is
of dark complexion.
He had on black coat, dark brown
trousers. an old black slouch hat and
nothing to identity him could be
found as all he had in his pockets was
some loose tobacco. an old dirty hand
kerehief and small crust Of bread
The body was removed from South
Hammond to Emmerling's morgue
where the body now lies for identih-
cation.
1t is probable that the man, if he is
a tramp, will never be Identified and
will go to his grave unknown as did
the last Hammond unidentified sui
eide victim.
This afternoon the man was iden-
titled as Jesse Holmes. brother OF
Frank Holmes. a Monon engineer, by
H. Smith, Monon section foreman.
Smith, who was working in North
Hammond, when given a description
of the man left his work and came
down to Emmerling's morgue and
when he saw the man said that he
was centain that it was Holmes.
Jesse Holmes followed no trade and
was always wandering around the
country and is said to have been in
every state in the union as well as
several foreign countries.
kilograms have been sent to his
brother who lives at Monon. Ind,
and the truth will soon be known.

14O0 FEET OF HOSE TO
MAKE CONNECTIONS.

The hose cart Of the local fire de-
partment passed through the streets
this evening with load Of new hose
that had been badly soiled by being
dragged along the ground. To all
appearances there had been a big fire
somewhere but an inquiry developed
the fact that the department found
it necessary TO lay two lines Of hose
700 feet long from hydrant on
West State street to another on the
same street to provide the proper
fire protection for the village. The
two lines made it necessary to use
a total of 1,400 feet altogether. The
replacing of the water mains on State
street made this unusual method OF
making connections necessary.

Technical Violation of Con
tract Causes Trouble in
Reynoldson Plant.
MAY HEAD OFF THE STRIKE
Union Wants to Have Man Dis
charged Who Put Thread on
Pipe.

The Reynoldson Plumbing COM
pany has secured an injunction
against the Plumbers and Gasftters
union restraining it from taking any
measures to prevent the employees
of the company from working in it's
shops
The plumbers and the plumbing
company have had an agreement re-
garding hours of work. wages and
the duties of the employees of the COM
pany and it is the alleged violation
Of this agreement that has caused the
trouble
One Of the articles of the com
pact provides that only the members
of the union in good standing can
do certain work. The other day
Mr.. Reynoldson found it necessary,
according to the complaint. to cut
some threads in some gas pipe. Geo.
Vermett. who is a union man. was
expected to have objected to this and
because he did not the union demands
that he be discharged and not allow
ed to work for a period of several
months. This the Reynoldson com
pany refuses TO do and the union
is alleged in the complaint to be
trying TO persuade the union men il
the shop to strike until the coul-
pany acedes to their demands.
The Reynoldson company claim
that they have not violated any OF
the provisions Of the agreement and
as they have contracts TO do work
that involves $4,000 they have asked
the courts to restrain the Plumbers
union from taking any measures IL
induces their employees to quit work.
In the meanwhile the parties to
the contention may get together and
settle the matter among themselves
without recourse to the courts.

ACCIDENT NARROWLY AVERTED.

A man by the name Of Kohen had
a narrow escepe from death on the
Holman street crossing of the Monon
this afternoon. Mr.. Kohen is a rag
peddler and was driving west on
Plummer avenue towards the railroad
crossings there when he looked up
and saw a Monon switch engine
bearing down upon him. The en-
gine was so near and was going so
fast that a seconds hesitation meant
instant death. With remarkable pres
ence of mind Kohen drew his horses
back on their launches and the en-
gine rushed by, missing the horse
only few inches.

ton of general foreman of the Hi
nois Central at Fulton. and has gon ?

faithful and efficient engineers.
The position of general foreman
at Fulton is similar to that of mas

Missing Mayfield Girl Traced to
Louisville by Friends.
She Has Many Relatives i'm Graves
County-Also Had a Sweet
heart, Il is Said.
NOT A WORD HEARD FROM HER

1t appears from later developments
that Miss Lura Davidson, of May
efild, KY. who disappeared from col
lege at London. KY, last Friday. has
done nothing more unique or un-
usual than elope. But this is not
yet proven.
At first 1t was reported that she
did not leave London by train, but
later a conductor on one of the pas
senger trains remembered that girl
answering her description boarded
the train at London.
She left the train at Louisville,
and as she did not go near any of
her friends or relatives. the supposi-
tion is that she desired, for some rea-
son. to disappear, leaving them igno-
rant of her whereabouts.
For this reason it is supposed that
she eloped with some young man and
is likely married by this time.
Yesterdays Mayfeld Messenger
says of her:
"She is a daughter of DR.. A. A.
Davidson, who died in 1894. Her
mother is a daughter of Col. n. A.
Coulter, prominent farmer. living
east of the city. She died in 1895.
leaving three daughters. Lura. Abb
hey and Willie. They have been liv-
ing with their grandparents. Miss
Lura is the oldest one, being about
21 years of age.
Last summer while Miss Lucie
Mahan, a lady preacher, was carry
ing on a protracted meeting at Trim
-ity chuch, north of this city. she met
Miss Davidson and taking quite an
interest in her, presented her with a
scholarship in the college at London,
and induced her to enter this school
and complete her education and pre-
pare herself for a lady minister. As
a result. she went to school there and
her relatives thought her to be per-
fectly satisfied. She has very
large connection here, all OF whom
feel a very great interest in her and
the completion of her education.

MUCH INTEREST
IN WHAT THE BROOKPORT SA-
LOON KEEPERS ARE GOING
TO DO.
Some say All VIII Close, and 9th
ers That They VIII Pay the
License.

The BroOkport council has raised
the saloon license in the village to
$1,000 a year. and as the licenses
expire Thursday, there is a good
deal of interest in the matter. There
ore three saloons in the town, and
they have all said they would close
up shop and quit business. This,
however, is thought to be bluff, and
at any rate. the town council is go
ing to call it.
The saloon licenses of most of the
Illinois towns have been raised this
,ear, and in Chicago they are having
big fight over it. The city wants
10 raise the license to $1,000 from
$500 and the saloon men have said
they are willing to have it increased
to 5000.
1t has been reported that the three
Brookport saloon-keepers would sign
an agreement to all go out of bust
ness rather than pay the 81 600 H.
oenses. but another report is that one
of them has "crawflshed" and that
this will disrupt the agreement.
1t is reported that in case the
agreement does go through, however,
and the Brookport saloon-Eeepers
go out of business. anyone else will
be prevented from paying the license
and opening a saloon there.
When asked how anyone could be
Kept out who had the money and was
willing to pay the license, our in
formant only smiled, and replied,
Fort If the others all close up shop
"Oh, they'd keep them out all right.
or make them mighty willing to get
out in a short time"
1t is understood that a number of
Paducah men are willing to pay the
s 1000 and open a saloon in Brook
port If the others all close up.

much of the comedy takes place.
