WATCHMEN
Are SECURED
For Several Local Railroad
Crossings.
PROTECTION IS AFFORDED
To Pedestrians and Drivers
of Vehicles in City.
Ordinance for Additional Police May
be Passed at the Next Meeting -
Mayor Scherff is Happy.

Although the city council ut It's
last meeting made sufficient APP
preparations for two additional po-
licemen, it failed TO pass an ordi-
nance ordering the increase of the
present force.
Fac nmLLer of policemen and
fremen employed by the heads Of
the departments is regulated by
council aud the extra men cannot
be added until council authorizes
il.
1t is expected that council will
authorize the increase at its meet
inc next Monday night and imme-
diately afterward two policemen
will be put on duty bringing the To-
cal force TO number thirteen men
The mavor whc has been work
ing FOR larger force declares that
he is not superst:tious about the
number thirteen figuring in the
ease as regards the city and the
department but he does believe the
thirteen Is an omen OF bad luck
TO evil doers i'll the city.
The mayor received notice this
morning that the railroad crossing
watchman question has been settled
for coed and all of the crossings
are now amply protected. The men
were put TO work several days ago
but were later taken off and new
ARRANGEMENT effected. The crossings
at state, Main. Prospect and Oak
streets are now looked after by two
men who will remain on duty from
six O'Clock in the morning to eight
o'clock at night. At Greenwood
street and at Kenton Avenue, 9
single watchman is in charge.
The increased protection to per
sons crossing the railroads was Sc
cured entirely through the efforts o.
Mayor Scherff.

thing extraordinary; in fact, he Is
the best minstrel performer that has
been seen on local stage in long
time.
Iney McCusker, prima donna So
prano Is a wonder and the only crit
icism that could be offered is that
the hors Sc is not nearly large enough
for aer powerful voice. Her notes
are sweet and clear and her warbling
! Is superb. She was compelled to
respond to several encores last
night.
~wo as clever stage dancers as one
would care to see any place were the
pair, Freeman and Watson. They in
troduced dialogue on Chicago
newsbcys, and at its conclusion gave
a season of fancy heel and toe clog
dancing which highly pleases.
Will and May Reno introduced
some very clever acrobatic stunts,
and the former kept the audience in
an uproar of laughter by his funny
stories.

Damaging Interlocking System

A gong of Italians living In an
Erie box car in the Erie's extreme
west yards, went on a hallabaloo
Saturday night and greatly dis
turbod as well as terrified some of
their reighbors. They sang weird
songs and some of the terrified wit
nessers said they became suddenly
transformed into white ghostly OBJ
jects and seemed to fairly dance in
the air. The English-speaking
Italians said. that the gang were
summoning the spirits to rescue
their countryman Louis Goiffritta
from the clutches of the law.
The night walkers earnestly de-
clared that they had been answered
by the. spirits crying in loud tones,
"Goiffritta will be free" and that
they felt sure that their country
man IS safe, and there can only be
one outcome 10 the trial and that i.

own brother will go free.
