tion has practically purchased the old
Rice foundry property, known as FJle .
Cycle Academy, at Tenth and Orange

ntw association building Is to be

heirs of Joseph Morris, deceased. 80
The property has frontage OF laz
feet on Orange street and l4o feet on
Tenth streot. The city will take u
feet of the depth for the purpose OF

Although the active canvass has peen
held back on account Of many small
detaiIs that had 20 be attended 20,

The TURNPIKE AGREEMENT.

Omoers OF the Company Deny That an At
tempt Is Being Made 10 Hold up the
city.
Two directors Of the Wilmington &
Great Valley Turnpike Co. told a re-
porter OF Every Evening, this morning,
that the impression that the company
was trying to hold up the city 10 the
matter Of a water pirs agreement,
which was rsieuted by the Board OF
Water Commissioners yesterday, was
incorrect.
IAN the turnpike company wants, "
said one of the directors, and his col
league agreed with him, lis to prv-
tect the travelling public and comply
with the requirements of the com
pany's charter. We have not asked
the city for any indemnity, feeling
that the word of the Water Depart
ment is as good as its bono. The
matter Of having the earth taken from
the excavation for filing in purposes
is the only one in which the company
will benefit in the lease. While some
of this earth will have to be hauled
about Zoo feet, the average haul will
be only about 1000 feet. 1t was pro-
pused that the pipe be laid in the mid
die of the road, to which the company
could not consent, but it agreed to
allow tie trench to be within 10 fest
OF the middle of the road. "
The director said the clause pro-
hibiting the tapping Of the mains for
service purposes had been inserted
after Chief Engineer Leisen had said
it was not. the intention Of the depart
ment to uss the pipes as service pipes,
and the only reason for inserting IL
was to prevent subsequent digging up
of the roadway. He said the agree
ment had been drawn IN form which,
he understood, was agreeable to City
| Solicitor Townsend, Chiet Engineer
Leisen, John Biggs, representing the
turnpike company, and two directors,
who had looked after the interests Of
the company.
"We are not asking anything On =
reasonable, " he added. The charter
imposes certain obligations upon the
company and in making the agree
ment we had to see that there was no
infringement thereof. " Both direo-
tors expressed the belief that matters
could be satisfactorily adjusted.
When Chief Engineer Leisen was
seen in regard to the matter he said
the agreement was the result OF al
parties giving and taking, that Is,
concessions on all sides. lie said II
was not the intention Of the depart
ment to use the pipes referred to as
service pipes, his idea being to have
separate distributing main when 1t II
necessary, but that is q matter for th'
department to decide. de says ther'
will probably be another conference II
few days, when, he believes, natter
will be adjusted satisfactorily.

A Minister'S Awful Fate

CARSON, IOWA, March 25-Killed
by stroke of lightning just as he had
begun his sermon was the extraordina-
ry fate which befell the Rev. ]. B.
Lentz of the Latter Day Saints church
of this place at fifteen minutes before
twelve O'clock today. In addition to
the tragic death of the pastor the
members of the congregation were
stunned and burned by the flood of
electricity which appeared to COM
pletely fill the church. The stroke
came with such suddenness and,
owing to the season, was so unexpected
that veritable panic prevailed in the
little church for some time following
and words cannot describe the emo
ton which rent the hearts and minds
OF the fifty or more present as the full
realization of what had occurred slow
ly came to them. Rev. Lentz had
just started to deliver his sermon; he
and members of his congregation had
been casting anxious glances through
the windows at the gathering storm
and the pastor indicating his anxiety;
no doubt entirely for the people of the
church; spoke to Mr. Marion Elswick
asking him for advice as to whether
he should go on with the services or
dismiss the congregations; and Mr..
Elswick replied suggesting that he
proceed, adding that the teams had
been placed under shelter. Acting
upon the advice of Mr.. Elswick, Rev.
Lent began upon his sermon and had
spoken but few words when terri
tic crash which fairly deafened all
present and which filled the room
with most brilliant and dazzling
light occurred. When those nearest
the pulpit realized what had happened
and had cast glance about them they
were Mortified to see the pastor
stretched prone upon the floor, where
he had fallen backwards; Rev. Lentz
was standing directly beneath chan
delier which held several electric
lights and later examination reveal
ed the fact that the electric fluid had
followed the wires through that ave.
nue.. Rev. Lentz was picked up and
tenderly carried to the home of w. L..
Andrews near by and Doctors Pierce,
Shafter and Kline summoned as hasti.
ly as possible, who applied all known
restoratives but without avail and the
unfortunate man died within half
hour, without regaining consciousne ss
The scene about the Andrews home
and the church at this time was one
of Understandable pathos.

Audubonites win out.

The Audubon society has won its
long, hard fight, with the result that
after July all feathers sold for the
adjournment of femininity's headgear
will be OF the manufactured variety.
At the last meeting of the national
milliners association, held in New
York in January, a resolution was
adopted providing that no more real
feathers will be bought and that after
July first no more feathers for decora.
tive purposes will be sold. Notices
to this effect are now being sent to the
game wardens of the various states,
the idea evidently being to impress
upon spnrtsmen the brutality of killing
brightly plumed birds for commercial
purposes. But who will attempt to
set himself up as an arbiter of things
fashionable or prophet of feminine
styles: Sufficient unto the day is the
victory thereof, and the Audubon
society has won great and lasting
victory which entities it to credit
enough without entering upon 8
useless discussion of the longevity of
imitation feathers. Register Leader.
