Council Considers Proposition to Per.
nit More Tanks in Industrial
and Apartment House
Districts

1t is likely that at the next meeting
of the council committee of the whole
steps will be taken to enlarge the area
in which oil tanks may be installed.
The growth of the city, especially in
industrial plants and apartment houses,
makes such law necessary for public
convenience. The limits affect three
wards and for that reason the commit
tee of the whole has asked Councilmen
Clampitt, Healy and Blanchard to
serve as committee.
Blueprints will be procured from the
engineers office in order to get the eX-
act proposed boundaries.

Let Up on Railroads.

A Washington dispatch says: I'm
mediately on the reassembling Of the
Interstate commerce commission early
in October consideration will be given
to the order to the commission provid-
ing for an inquiry into the operations
of the railroads in the control of
James j. Hill. All indications point
to an abandonment of the inquiry In
the case of the Hill roads and formal
notice to that effect will probably be
given by the commission following its
first meeting after the summer recess.
The conclusion has been reached
that no useful purpose will be accom-
plished by a general inquiry into the
methods of business of the Hill roads
or the other big carriers of the coun-
try.
According to officials here, Mr.. Har-
riman has corrected many OF the
abuses found in his management OF
railroad property. and other railroad
men in positions OF power and respon'
sibility have done likewise.
The belief prevails that IL the com
mission should undertake In the case
OF the Hill roads an inquiry such as
was made in connection with the Har
riman lines, a great deal of mischief
might result
The conviction has been growing In
Washington for some time that nc
further action would be taken by the
federal government in the Hartman
case.

STORY OF THE HEIRsHIF
Matters Of Note and Comment Gath
cred Here and There About the
State Briefly Told.

Ethan Ennis, son-in-law OF Mr.. ana
Mrs. Albert Hosner, OF North Farm
ington. with whom he and his fam
lily are now making their home. is one
of the heirs to an estate valued at
SIS, zoo, 100000 of which his prospec-
tive share will be something like 1885,
100000, according TO the advices OF
Attorney Elliott, of New York city.
Ennis's mother resides at Apple
gate, Mich, and she was one OF the
children of the first Stouttenburg
who came over from Holland during
the latter part of the eighteenth CEN
fury. He invested his savings In l.
500 acres OF low land on Manhattan
island. now the center Of New York
city.
In his old age Stouttenburg leased
his acres, which had then become
very valuable, for a period Of 90 years,
with the proviso that at the END OF
that period they should revert TO his
heirs. The property which cost orig
inally few hundred dollars Is now
estimated at $4,000, 100000.
The 99-year lease has now expired,
and Elliott, himself a millionaire, has
taken the matter up with the heirs,
giving them assurance that the estate
is theirs and can be secured through
the courts.

Twenty-Five Killed.

A mistake in the sending of train
order caused the death of % and In
jury of q passengers on the Quebec
express at White River Junction, VT,
Sunday morning. The blame for the
wreck lies between the dispatcher at
Concord and the night operator at Ca
naan, small station near the juno
ton.
The mistake came In the confusing
of train numbers. The wrecked train
is No. 30. A Montreal train which was
scheduled to follow IL 20 minutes later,
is No "a. The latter was over an hour
late. But the conductor of a freight
train was handed a dispatch at Canaan
stating that No. 80 was an hour and 10
minutes late.
This gave the freight plenty Of time
to make a siding four miles away.
The freight went on and No. 30, which
was on time, crashed into it at full
speed near a curve, neither engineer,
in the early morning mist, seeing the
others headlight until too late to do

ct Williamsburg. Mrs. T. Bailey, a

her daughter-in-law, is the victim. One

pounds of butter, as well as money
and other articles. About two weeks
ago, thieves again entered the house
taking more fruit. more butter and
even pie plates and cups and saucers
as well as all the money they could
find Again there was no clue. A
week later the homo was visited
again. The climax came on Sunday
night the Sth, when stones were
thrown through the windows and
search was made by the sons but
without discovery. At 6 a. m. while
the boys had retired for little rest
more stones were thrown through the
windows, but they could not find the
thrower. Then guards were stationed
about the house for a night and while
the men were eating a lunch at 2 a.

nervously glanced behind her at a

A report received by the American
Geographical society says that sound
ings have failed to disclose a new
continent north of Alaska.

kelson and Ernest Lefingwell, joint
commanders OF the Anglo-American

the Duchess OF Bedford. in an attempt
to find the land, and was dated Daw.
son, Alaska, September 10.
The explorers reported that their
sledge trip north of Alaska covered
500 miles of sea ice, and that they
crossed the edge of the continental
shelf twice.
Their soundings. taken so miles of
the Alaskan coast and beyond, were
made to a depth of 1000 feet, but
found no bottom.
