 fral City.

Selma. Sept. 2s.--tspecial,)-It is ex- pected that during the incoming week some announcement concerning the future owenrship or management of the Selma Street and Suburban Railway will be made public
 While 1t is generally conceded and known that the car line is being oper- ated under the management of c. A |. Wickershani. President of the Atlanta and West Point Route. the talk about the car line and the holdings of the company Is discussing daily by a num- Der of citizens.
 Mrs. Abbott. widow of Col. F. M Ab- bolt. of the car line, Is expected to return to Selma shortly. Coupled with this announcement 1t Is also stated that MT. Wickersham has announced that he would come to Selma during the next week. It Is supposed that as soon as Mrs. Abbott returns to Selma that expected changes will be made in the affairs of the company.
 The Selma race track, one of the hold . ings of the car line. is also being talked about. It Is stated that at least one Grand Circuit driver and possibly two are after the track. The lovers of race horses in Selma would like to see one of these drivers get control of the track for they believe that it would mean the wint.ring here of a very large number of harness horses each winter.

SCREEN DOOR MAN
BEGINS HIS WORK
WITHOUT SUCCESS

The first screen door burglar of the
summer operated Saturday night in
the vicinity of Eleventh and Jones
streets, but the work was unsuccess-
full, as nothing has been missed Two
negroes were seen around the corner,
and it is said they had a wagon to
haul off their plunder. The first
house attempted was the residence of
Mr.. L. S. Walston, at Eleventh and
Jones streets, but the noise of ripping
the screen attracted the attention of
the household, and they were fright
.ened away. Next in order they visit
ed the back and side doors of the resi-
dences of Thomas Englert, Mrs. Clara
Blackburn, Robert Wilkins, Joseph
Tiabacker, Charles Berger and Alfred
Berger The burglars had gotten into
the residences of Wilkins and Burger,
but were frightened away before they
could pick up any valuables.
Fooled in their attempts on Elev-
enth street. the burglars tried to
break into houses of colored people
on Jones street between Eleventh and
Twelfth streets but were unsuccessful.
Later they tried several houses on
South Twelfth street, but receptions
were so cold that they gave up the at
tempted burglaries before the arrival
of the police. They were audacious
and did not seem frightened when dis
covered.

A. II. Egan, Superintendent
of I.C., Says Company Will
Grant Use For Purpose
Mayor Smith Ask ed For it in
His Message.
BOATS LAND AT BANK TODAY

At last Improvement of the river
front, which has been urged by The
Sun for years, is to be accomplished
through the initiative of Mayor James
p. Smith, and the courtesy Of A. RI.
| Egan, superintendent of the Illinois
Central, whose interest in the beauti-
flying of Paducah has been manifest
ed in more than one way, and is APP
preciated by the people
In a recent conversation with Mayor
smith Superintendent Egan said the
railroad would permit the use of the
river front from Broadway south to
Kentucky avenue by the city for park
purposes, the railroad company sur
rendering none of its rights in the
premises. The park board will prob
ably plant trees, grade the incline
and terrace the steepest part. A
glance down the park site from
Broadway this evening and a little
Imagination will give anyone an idea
of the improvement that will be effect
ed. As soon as steps are taken to rid
the river front of the disgraceful
lean-tos and tresspassing buildings
north of Broadway, Paducah will pre-
sent the appearance of having
river 'front.' instead of 'river rear"
Sidewalks along the levee from
Broadway south already have been or
Idered, and when that is done and the
rubbish is cleared away. even before
the park commissioners get to work,
the transformation will be wonderful.
Junk, poles, odds and ends of freight,
broken boxes and barrels and refuse
are strewn along the levee for a
block.
These improvements on the land
are almost coincident with the clear
ing of the harbor so that packets may
land their freight without payin for
the privilege. The Chattanooga this
morning stretched her full length
along the bank between the whar float
and the dry docks and there was room
for another boat the same length
above her. f. ,t
Mayor Smith in his first me ssage
spoke of a park and sidewalks along
the levee and he has persiStently
worked on the project.

Big Attendance at Broadway
Methodist Last Night to
Hear Him.
His HumOr Employed to Drive
Home Solid Facts.
DEEP INTEREST MANIFESTED

Mr.. Jerry Porter. of Clinton, adj
Broadway Methodist church Sunday
evening. under the auspices of the
Ilaymen's movement. The service was
one of three special meetings in the
church yesterday dedicatory of the
magnificent new interior decorations.
THE Incompatible, susceptible,
jirrepressible, ubiquitous and insensi-
BILE Jerry Porter" as the Rev. Grant
1T. Sullivan, pastor of the church, in
tToduced him last evening, sustained
his reputation as a public speaker.
DR.. Sullivan was Mr.. Porter's pastor
years ago in Clinton, and told some
OF his early history. which the fine
audience appreciated and which Mr..
Porter neatly turned back on DR..
Sullivan, in his opening remarks.
DR.. Vernon Blythe, keyman of the
laymen's movement in the Broadway
church, presided at last evenings
service. Mr.. c. b. Hatfield read the
platform of the movement, in which
the ambitious program of saving
40,O0O.00O heather souls, was laid
down for the southern Methodist lay
men. DR.. J. w. Blackard, presiding
elder of this district, lead in prayer.

holding the audience through the
warm evening until $3.50 O'Clock.
After the service the men in the audi
Ience shook han Is with Mr.. Porter,
DR.. Sullivan and DR.. Blythe, signify
Ing thus that they Endorsed the lay
mems movement. and then the wo-
men expressed their approval SINH
larly.
Mr.. Porter's humorous quality,
which has made him a wide reputa-
ton as a speaker, was evident in last
nights address, 1.-The Developed
Man" But the humor was employed
to clinch a solid truth and the ad-
dress was replete with interesting
information and practical christianity
He showed how the industrial welfare
Of the United States would be vastly
advanced by outstanding Asia, as
the christian is the greatest con-
sumner In the world, and our markets
abroad would enlarge in proportion
TO the spread of the gospel. In a
spiritual sense, Mr.. Porter also made
a strong plea for cooperation among
the men in the laymen's movement.
Mr.. Porter has a wide acquaintance
in Paducah, as attested by the large
audience that heard him last even
ling.

MAYOR VETOES HACK LAW

Mayor James p. Smith has vetoed
the amended hack ordinance and gives
his reasons, that the schedule of
prices is exorbitant; the price of 5 I
for funerals is too liberal and gives
too wide a scope; he thinks distance
should govern the price; he faVors a
provision for posting prices n the
hack, and one compelling hack OWE
ers to answer a call for one fare;
some other provisions are too loose,
and the provision against carrying
trunks is an unnecessary interference
with the rights of parties.
