 "The evidence compels the conclu- sion that Borough President Ahearn has failed to perform his duty with reference to the streets to degree that is entirely inexcusable. It is not a case of occasional neglect or of lapses which might be overlooked. On the contrary, it is case of continuous maladministration, relieved only by spasmodic efforts under the pressure of criticism"
 Ahearn served one term in the as. sembly and six in the senate.

taken a fancy to you somehow, anC Pm going to prove it by putting yor on the inside of little business deal"
 "A business deal?" gasped Richard in unfeigned surprise.
 "Yes," nodded the old gentleman puffing thoughtfully at his cigar. "Ot course I don't know how you are fixed financially, nor have I any intention of asking impertinent questions, but if you care to come. with me in a trans. action in which I myself have invested largely I can put you in the way of making quite a snug little sum-"
 Richard withdrew his foot from, be- hind MT. Renwyck's leg and in the darkness strove to kick himself. Con- science had made of him not exactly a coward, but a careful skater on thin ice.
 "That's very clever of you. indeed" l" he answered, lighting his perfecto and gazing out across the Hudson. ''Is it what you call-er-a fiier?"
 "Well, no," said the old financier. 'It's more than that. It's a dead cer- tainty, and I'm on the inside. Let me explain. To begin with, it is deep water harbor enterprise in the state of Texas"
 Richard pricked up his ears, and MT. Renwyck continued:
 "A local company has been organ ized and styles itself the Houston, Matagorda City and Gulf Railroad and Improvement company" And Richard recognized the company with thrill of excitement. They're go- ing to get an appropriation from the legislature for making a deep water harbor at Matagorda City. They own all the land in the vicinity and the right of way for branch line to con- meet with the railroad systems of Tex as at Houston. Now, this scheme, all else being equal, would be sweet, juicy plum for its promoters. But things are not all equal. I have learn ed its details, and l propose to smash it."
 He spoke with savage emphasis. which revealed his hatred and his de. termination. If hell has no fury like woman scorned, friend turned enemy Is almost as venomous.
 How are you going to do it?" asked Richard, with growing anxiety.
 There chances to be a rival con- pany in the field, my boy, backed by ey-influence-pull. In fact, I or ganized it to make q deep water har- bor at Longmatt, on San Antonio bay. I rather think the legislative appropri. ation will go there."
 And is Longmatt better adapted for deep water harbor than Matagorda City?"
 Much better"
 "WhyT
 Because own all the land at Longmatt, and for various reasons that credit to its business acu- men the committee on railroads in the legislature agrees with me-"
 (Which means" suggested Richard, that the legislature is doing business at the same old stand"
 Mir. Renwyck laughed.
 "That sounds very American for a foreigner, but suppose we put it a lit- tie more delicately. The legislature through this committee can be per suaded." ..
 And the other company 'does not know this?'
 Not q whisper of it."
 But won't it find out from the

 The report that Colonel Reynolds would recommend the recall of the federal troops is vigorously denied. Serious trouble may occur when the mines start Thursday, although the presence of the soldiers will probably prevent general outbreak.

Vaudeville at Lakewood.

For three days starting Monday,
August 18th, the attraction at Lake
wood Theatre will be Joseph j.
Flynn's high grade vaudeville COM
pany and the play bills call for show
that looks like leader in this line.
The leading features viii be the
popular comedy musical act of Fred
Eekhoff and Anna Gordon, red hot
hit right off the Keith circuit and an
act that is winning no end of encores
in the parks. This is without ques-
tion one of the best acts under Mr..
Flynn's management. Others to APP
pear are Reeds Acrobatic Bull Ter
riers, a troupe of educated anines
that are more than making good.
This feature will be delight to ladies
and children who never fail to appre
ciate the antics of these silent though
learned actors. Allen, Delmain and
Allen, another act right off the Keith
clfsuit, will offer new comedy sketch
called 1.-THE Tin Wedding" 1t is a
laugh winner and very well played.
Adams and Kirk are billed as modern
xylophonists and as such render a
program of the newest compositions.
The last but not least act to mention
is that Of the Aherns, a duo of head
and hand balancers who have no peers
in this line. This entire program will
be given every afternoon and even

Contract for Road Awarded.

Late Thursday afternoon the board
of county commissioners awarded the
contract for the construction of the
highway from The Forks to Lake
Moxie Station to Moore & Burns of
Madison. The distance will be five
and one third miles. There are five
bridges and four culverts to be built.
But the bridges are small ones, the
longest span being IL feet. The con-
tract price was SIS per rod. The road
is to be open to travel by the first Of
next December.
One OF the contractors is Hon. Hi
ram Moore of Madison, years ago a
county commissioner, and a man of
experience. He built the old May
field road, SO called. The commits
sioners at the meeting held Friday
expected to be able to decide on the
question of whether or not they
would buy the toll bridge at Nor
ridgewock. They are waiting for
some data concerning what had been
the average cost the. past ten years in
maintaining this bridge and what the
income from it had been in order
that they might estimate what it was
really worth. This information failed
to reach them up to Friday noon so
they concluded to let the matter rest
until they meet again sometime the
last of the present month.
Mr.. Tibbetts, one of the members
of the board left for his home in Fair
field on the noon train Friday. The
other two members, L. G. Williams of
Athens and Henry Crowell of Pitts
field, had routine matters to go over
which kept them busy for the rest of
the day.
