MAYOR WON'T VETO
ct" RAIL RESOLUTION

Mayor Thompson Is not disposed
TO veto the resolution passed by the
council which allows the ID. U. X. to
lay 1T" rails on certain streets where
permits are given.
Although the mayor has been
against the 1T" rail all along. he feels
that the paving on some streets re-
quires attending to and will sacrifice
his scruples to that necessity.
1T will finish with our getting 1T"
rails everywhere in the city" declar-
ed the mayor. The only effect | can
see will be TO allow the ID. u. r. to
run its suburban cars little faster
without danger Of accident. Let them
try the rails II they want TO. and we
will see that they are taken up II they
are not satisfactory"

c. Nagel succeeded Edward F. Marsch.
ner. Republican. as assessor and there
was a welcome stunt with the big
floral horseshoe for Nagel and cigars
for everybody.
The board OF assessors went into
session and ground out discharges for
seven Republicans and appointments
for eight Democrats-one vacancy still
having TO be created. The meeting
was harmonious but It was the cul-
mination OF lively debate that took
place Tuesday evening.
Not until late Tuesday night was
the program laid out for the day be-
tween the two Democratic assessors.
Edward Keusch was appointed assist
ant assessor in spite OF Nagels op-
position, and Doran had his way gen.
orally in the conduct OF affairs. He is
able TO do this because he can hold the
balance OF power between Henry
Plass. the Republican assessor and
Nagel. who Is understood TO have been
appointed on the recommendation OF
Judge Connolly. Doran is not reputed
SO strong Connolly man.
A. Burdette Evans retains his place
as Plass' assistant: Dan Dilworth.
who has been Doran's assistant, be-
comes Nagels helper. and Edward
Keusch will be Doran's assistant
The discharged clerks are Fred J..

inspector.
The new clerks are: Henry Powers,

euNGLES COMMITMENT.

Whereas, on the 26th day OF

lying drunk In the alley and had
his shoes off and two bottles Of
whiskey in his pockets and plead

And whereas, upon such con-

Henry Sayres should take the
pledge for one year and IL he vio-
lated said pledge be and remain
imprisoned In the county jail for
a period of 80 days from and in
Guiding this date.
Therefore, you are commanded
to take him into custody.
On the above commitment Henry
Sayres, an aged civil war veteran OF
Junction. was turned over
to the custody of Sheriff Burns by the
Trenton authorities last Saturday.
BY the same token he was discharged.
Wednesday, when the prosecuting at
torney pronounced the commitment
defective. In the opinion OF Assistant
Prosecutor Eaman. TO whom the mat
ter was referred, the justice Numbered
when he sentenced the defendant To
take the pledge for a year. The maxi
mum penalty for his offense Is 80
days and as a pledge Is In the nature
OF a parole the court had no authority
TO bind him for a longer period than
the maximum term OF Imprisonment
by law.
AS II happened. Sayres refused to
take the pledge and was sent up for
80 days In default. but. under the
ruling. as the alternative
was contrary to law the Justices &C

The aged prisoner presented a pitt

Sheriff Burns is thinking OF having
the commitment framed as one OF the
most unique documents rof its kind
ever received at his office.

Brooklyn Democratic hosts Is being
contested by Murphy. will be a pas
senger on the same train, as far as
Chicago at least. McCarren is going
alone TO Denver. His supporters VIII

OF bullets passed through the windows
of the Pullman sleepers. One bullet
tore hole through the coat Mr. Brady
was wearing. The engineer pulled
open the throttle and spec away from
the scene OF the attack.

to the question OF extent to which
they may exercise the power OF pre-

GOWAN-BUTLER.

On Wednesday at 4:30 p. m. July %
very pretty wedding took place at the
brides aunts, Mrs. Adolphus Scratch,
when Miss Genevieve Florence Gowan.
of st. Clair, and Mr.. Elmer Butler, of
Kingsville, were joined in the bonds of
matrimony by Rev. Gait, Kingsyille,
Baptist pastor.
Only the immediate relatives of bride
and groom were present. The company
assembled under the beautiful old cedar
trees on the lawn and awaited the COM
ing of the bride who soon appeared
leaning on the arm of her uncle, Mr..
Adolphus Scratch. She looked very
dainty in her dress of white muslin
trimmed with valenciennes lace and
insertion. She took her place beside
the groom and they were soon made
man and wife. AS soon as the impress
sive ceremony was over the guests re-
sorted to the dining room and partook
of a very dainty lunch. The couple
were showered with rice as they were
leaving in the evening to take car
for Detroit, where they expect to spend
brief honeymoon. The guests fired
old shoes at them, wishing them much
happiness.
Mr.. and Mrs. Butler expect to start
housekeeping in Kingsville and the
number of pretty and useful gifts no
ticed will be an initial aid,
