A BEAUTIFUL CHRISTMAS EN- z PERMANENT.

l The Christmas entertainment at Pa vilion hall on Wednesday, evening of last week came up fully to the expec- tation of all who attended, as well as
 of all those who had been interested in the preparations for the same. The at- tendance was exceptionally large. Ev- erybody was here from miles around.
 Superintendent Shirk, during the exer-
 cises, made good speech, thanking
 everybody for the interest taken in
 the Sunday school and briefly reviewed
 it's record. Rev J. E. Herman also dur
 ing the evening favored the audience
 with well chosen remarks of his appre- citation of the work done and the sig nifcance and hallowed associations about the glad Christmas time. Dur ing the drill which concluded the stage exercises, F. J. Hosford appeared in proper costume as Santa Claus and the trees laden, with gifts for the children, were lighted and stripped of their bur den and distributed satisfactorily among the Sunday school scholars. From the number of names read it must be the largest Sunday school ever known here. It is estimated besides the school and those who took active part in the entertainment, more than 400 were in the audience. Altogether it was the most enjoyable Christmas passed here in years.

FIRST FRE|GHTER
ARRIVED TO-DAY
Traction Company Again Runs
Cars Over the Main
Street Line.
ORDINANCE WAS PASSED.
FREIGHT PRIVILEGES RESTORED
TO r. H., l. e. e. COMPANY FOR
NINETY DAYs-D. G. w. DOES
NOT ACCEPT OPPORTUNITY.

This forenoon the first traction
freight car which has been seen in this
city east of the car barns for over a
year and a half majestically sailed up
Main street from out of the west" and
cast anchor at the South Eighth Street
interurban station. Local shippers
are happy in consequence, but they
were not able to drink the cup of joy
to the dregs, because the Dayton X
Western traction company has unoffi-
cially stated that it will not take ad-
vantage of the suspension of the Main
street freight ordinance. This action
has been taken by the company with
the idea that it will influence the
board of public works to sign the d. &
w. franchise. now in the hands of the
board for consideration. The board
members state this action will not in
fluence them to sign the franchise un-
til a section is incorporated in it pro.
viding that all ID. & w. cars doing a
local business shall accept for fares
city car line tickets. The company
has flatly refused to agree TO this.
Last evening at the council meeting
the ordinance passed by council tive
weeks ago suspending for ninety days
the enforcement of the Main street
freight car ordinance was returned un
signed by the mayor. Councilman
Bartel called for prompt considera.
tion of the ordinance and as a result
it was passed over the head of the
mayor This ordinance became eff
fective Immediately after its passage
so it was possible for the T. H. |. * E
tarction company to begin the opera
ton of freight cars into the city thi.
morning.

STUDY OPPOSES
SALE OF STRIP
Of Land Bordering Railroad
Tracks in Glen Miller
Park.
THE CITY'S PART is DONE.
ALL ARRANGEMENT FOR SALE
MADE BUT RAILROAD COM
PANY HAS NOT TAKEN COURT
ACTION NOR PAID MONEY.

Agreement with the Pennsylvania
railroad or no agreement l serve no
tice on council right now that L in
tend to test in the courts the right OF
q railroad company to condemn land
of a public park. like Glen Miller, to
be incorporated into the right of way
of the railroad" stated City Attorney
I. J. Study last evening.
His statement was brought forth by
d discussion of the city's action in sell
ing a strip of the park, fifty feet wide
and two hundred feet in length, bor-
dering the right of way of the Penn
sylvania railroad.
Councilman Bartel opened the dis
cussion by questioning whether this
action had injured the park, as alleged
at mass meeting of citizens recently
held. B. B. Johnson of the board
stated that when the company Offered
to buy the strip in question, with g
yelled threat of condemnation pro
ceedings in the event the city refused
to do so. an agreement was entered in
to with the company that the striI
would be sold for 500 providing ne
part of 1t was used for tracks, but onl,
for embankment purposes. Thi:
agreement protected the city from
tracks being placed close to the drive
way in the event the company had Sc
cured the strip through condemnation
proceedings. Mr.. Johnson stated TIL,
statement made that since the compa
ny had secured the land it would place
tracks within six feet or the driveway
is ridiculous. He said that the near
est track would continue to be ninet,
feet from the driveway.
After making this statement Mr.
Study stated that he did not believ,
the company had the authority to con
denim land in a public park and that h
intended to test the question although
the deal with the railroad compan,
| has not been consummated on the par
| of the company. as the court actor
/ has not been taken nor the purchas
price paid.

VENGEANCE WAS
CAUSE OF CRIME
Rrigo BuIIied LapayIia Beyond
Endurance, So He
Struck.
HE SHOWS NO REMORSE
RRIGO'S BROTHER VISITED LA
PAYLIA IN JAIL AND IN OWN
LANGUAGE HEAPED MALEDIC-
TIoNS UPON HIM.

Joe Rrigo, the Italian knitted Satur-
day night by his fellow countryman
and workman,I Frank Lapaylia, not
Polo as has been published, appears
to be on the road to recovery, accord
| ing to City Physician Kruger. He
had a gaping wound, eight inches in
/ length in his abdomen when taken
to the hospital for treatment. That
/ the man can live with such a wound
| is regarded as remarka BILE.
! In the city Jail Lapaylia is confined.
Should Rrigo die he will probably be
charged with murder in the first de-
gree, although no one witnessed the
assault he made upon his enemy In
the event Rrigo RECEIVERS his assaiant
| will probably be charged with assault
and battery with intent to commit
murder.
Lapaylia is only about five feet in
| height but stockily built He has no
remorse for his crime, rather he ap-
/ pears to be we'll satisfied with the re-
! suit. To friend who visited him at
the Jail yesterday afternoon he frank
ly admitted that he had assaulted
Rrigo. To this friend he stated that
ever since he had joined the working
gang employed on the c. C. & L.
north of this city he had been mis-.
treated by Rrigo. The latter is a
much bigger man than Lapaylia and
according to Lapaylia, bully. He
stated that Rrigo had frequently
struck him. choked him and hit him
with rocks but he stood for these in.
suits as long as he possibly could
Saturday morning, he stated, RrigC
choked him severely and he then de
cided to get revenge. Accordingly he
waylaid Rrigo that night and, Latin
! fashion, sank his knife into the body
OF his enemy. Lapaylia says that the
blood OF his enemy has wiped out the
Insults that were heaped upon him
An EYE for an eye and tooth for a
tooth" is Lapaylia's religion, so he is
satisfied with himself and ready tc
suffer the consequences for his crime
Shortly after Lapaylia was placed
In the Jail the brother of his victim
who appears to be the head of the
Italians in the camp north of the city
went TO see him. In rich Italian the
elder Rrigo reviled his brothers as
sailant but, safe behind the iron bars
Lapaylia indifferently listened to the
maledictions of the chieftain. Snarl
ing with anger the elder Rrigo cursed
ILapaylfa long and vilely He spoke
only in Italian. migrate that you are
would kill you gladly if could la,
my hands upon YOU. This is the way
you repay me, who brought you II
America, by killing my brother" blaz
ed the elder Rrigo while his blacl
eyes snapped with rage. He ended
4 his TRADE by calling down upon La
paylia all the curses of Heaven.

out undue elaboration. 1t will b,
