which he found the affairs OF the

PLAN
RIDlCULED
BY Prominent Officials of the
Roads.
One MILLION DOLLARS
Would be Required to Carry
Out the Idea.
They Admit the Plan Would be a
Good Thing for all Concerned but
Impractical Because of the Cost.

The lowering of the Big Four and
Erie railroad tracks through the city
as advocated by a large number of
prominent citizens, Is regarded as
more or less of joke by the Off
cials of the railroads Interested.
A prominent official of one of the
lines was interviewed recently in
regard to the projected improvement.
He said, The people of Marion must
have plenty of money to spent when
they talk Of lowering the railroad
tracks and of placing both lines in
single subway. see by the papers
that those Interested claim the i'm
prOvement will not cost more than
100000. Well, let them try 1t and
find out. The work could not be
done for a cent less than one mil
lion dollars, and before. it was en-
tirely completed it would probably
run far over that sum.
Suppose that the Big Four should
abandon its right of way and be
given trackage in the Erie subway
Then the Big Four would have to be
reimbursed for ceding It's valuable
right-of-way along Mill street, and
the Erie would have to be paid a
fat price for the trackage given the
Big Four. If the subway were placed
along Mill street, the Erie would
demand enough money to more than
pay it's share of the improvement
for its property"
The official concluded by saying
that the Improvement would be a
good thing for the city. for the rail-
roads and for all concerned. but
that it is entirely impractical, on
account of its great cost.
A meeting will be called In the
near future and the city council, the
citizens committee and representa-
tives of the railroad companies will
talk over the matter. AT that time
10 the railroad representatives con-
vince the local committees that the
cost will be as great as is claimed,
1. is probable that the Improvement
agitation will be d-opped until such
time as Marion has enough money
to spend to Justify the construction
of the subway.

SCOTTY
WAS FAkINC
Not a Deaf Mute Writes
HIS Cousin.
CLEVER RUSE PLANNED
To Separate the People
From Their Good Money
Young Sandow was Recently Wed.
ded to Miss Cora Kramer of This
City by Justice Conley.

The romance of the marriage Of
Edward Scott a supposed deaf mute,
of Sterling, Illinois, to Miss Cora
Kramer, of this city, has been ex-
pioded by letter received from
Harry G.. Thomas of Chicago, a
cousin of the groom. Thomas, in a
letter to Justice Charles Fl. Con-
ley, who performed the ceremony,
and in another to the Mirror, re-
ceived Saturday says that Scott Is
not deaf mute but is merely posing
as one in orde- to be better able to
separate the people from their
money.
"At one time he was a student at
deaf mute school and was pro-
crossing nicely" writes Thomas,
but. unfortunately he talked aloud
. In his sleep one night and conse-
quently was dismissed from school"
Scott and Miss Kramer were mar
ried by Justice Conley several weeks
ago and the fact that the groom was
apparently mute while the bride
was not so afflicted, caused their
wedding to attract widespread at
tention. An account of the cere-
mony appeared in the Chicago Inter
Ocean, and II was there that Thomas
says he first learned of his cousins
little game.
| While securing the marriage IL
cense and while Justice Conley was
tying the knot, Scott successfully
carried out the actions of a mute.
He told the justice that he was able
to tell what people said by merely
watching their lips. The justice re-
peated the ceremony slowly, so that
Scott would have no difficulty In
following him.
When 1t came to asking him II
he would take Miss Kramer to be his
lawfU' wife, the question was writ
item and Scott Immediately wrote the
answer yes
Following the ceremony. Scott
and his bride took their departure
and the supposed mute has not been
seen since. Previous to the time
OF his marriage, he had been doing a
strong arm stunt in a local saloon.
He makes profession of travelling
about the country, breaking chains,
lifting weights and giving other ex-
emplifications of his strength. The
fact that he was supposed to be a
mute seemed to help make him pop
Iular.
Thomas writes that he has known
Scott since childhood and is in a
good position to know whether he is
a mute.
II have no personal animostiy to-

MARION TO Have
Two DIRECTORIES
Rival Companies are at Work
on New Books.
Each Company Promises to Give
People the Best Directory
on the Market.

At the present time, two city di-
rectories are being prepared by two
separate companies and the indica-
tions are that there will be a
lively fight to secure the better di-
rectory and the majority OF the
patronage.
The Polk company, OF Columbus,
which has always had the field ex-
lclusively, is one of the concerns and
the other Is the Stark Directory COM
pany, of Canton. Both concerns have
operated for number OF years, and
the contest between the two will be
watched with interest.
Each company promises to place
the most complete directory on the
market, and with the many improve
ments to be made the new director
les will doubtless outclass anything
In the directory line ever sold in this
city heretofore.
Advertising and subscriptions are
now being solicited by agents OF
both companies. The work of COM
piling the remainder of the volumes
will be commenced about May l.
