SmeIter Team
Won Lively
Ball Game

A good game, although marked in
places by ragged playing on the part
of the Ely aggregation, lost them the
contest Sunday AFTERNOON with Smelt-
er by the decisive score of to j..
Three base hits were the features of
the game, made by Fulmer of Ely
City and Holdsworth and Graves OF
Shelter. The day was an ideal one
for the game, there being little wind
until the latter part of play. A good
sized crowd was present and all were
delighted with the exhibition as a
whole. Taken in comparison with
the other games of the season. 1t was
much ahead in clean playing of any
of the former ones. 1t had very
encouraging effect in raising the en-
thusiasm of the fans of the district.
Huron for Shelter pitched a good
game but was safely found IL times
during the exhibition. Conner was
hit five times while three hits were
secured off Fulmer's delivery. The
Smelter aggregation gave their bat
terry superb support throughout the
time of play and he on his part
showed that this was encouraging.
improving as the game advanced.
The game was practically lost for Ely
in the seventh, when Holdsworth
with long fly to right field brought
in two men and himself took third
base, to be brought in on Genter's
single, Center scoring also.
The superiority of the Smelter
team is evident from the manner in
which they retired Ely in one, two.
three order, almost all through the
contest. Conner led the Ely batting
list with two runs to his credit, al
though Holdsworth and Center of
Shelter each had two runs. Conner,
who pitched the first seven innings,
retired at that time in favor of Full
mer, made good showing, as did his
successor. Both We're handicapped
by lack of support, however. The
game was umpired by Jack Long of
Smelter.

QUIET SCHOOL ELECTION.

As quiet an election as ever held
in Ely was that for school trustees
yesterday. Without opposition, as
the Citizens Higher Education ticket
was, there was little incentive to
draw the business man or other
voter to the school building where
the election was held. AS a result
of the II votes cast, r. II. Holtz-
man was elected long term member
of the board, Robert Neil and H. A.
Comins, short term members. The
election was held pursuant to the
call of the board issued several
weeks since 1t was something of a
curiosity from the fact that it is the
first held in Ely for many years. 1t
has always been a provision of the
school laws that, should an election
not be called, the trustees will be
appointed. This has hitherto been
the procedure.
So quietly did the day pass for the
judges that whenever anyone came
into the building he was almost
mobbed in an effort to get him to
vote. Those who served in the ca
pacity of officers of the election were

between that point and Schurz, which
is being built by a company headed
by Judge S. d. Crump, formerly a
resident of Ely, and now attending
court here. Judge Crump states
that the road will be % miles in
length and will cost approximately
100000. One-third of this amount
has been subscribed by local capital

IN HARD LINES.

One of the most peculiar cases
which have come up in justice court
for some time was that of j. Il.
O'Brien. who was sentenced Thurs
day to 80 days for stealing chickens
from a Chinese restaurant in Ely.
After being knocked on the head
with a stick of cordwood and warned
not to return to the chicken coop,
the man was caught second time at
the coop by the Chinaman and the
officers were called. The trial had a
comica feature about it as O'Brien
when called upon to plead said:
We'll, you caught me with the goods
on but | guess I'll plead not guilty
anyway" He then declared that he
did not need trial and attempted to
walk out of the court room. He pre-
scented a sorry figure, the Chinaman s

in bringing the blood in profusion

\. H. HUNT IS DEAD
Well Known Real Estate Deal
er Expires Suddenly
This Morning.
HEART FAILURE THE CAUSE.

Albert Fl. Hunt, one of the best
known residents of this city, died sud
denly this morning at 2:30 o'clock at
his home, 40 South Eighteenth street
The cause of his death was heart fail
ure. Two days prior to his death he
had been complaining of not feeling
in the best of health, but his condi-
tfon was not regarded critical by men,
bers of his family
Mr.. Hunt recently had been engag-
ed in the real estate business but for
several years he travelled for large
implement manufacturing company.
At one time he was engaged in the
implement business in this city, where
he lived nearly all of his life.
Albert H. Hunt was born December
10, 1851 and on October II, 1876 he
was married to Miss Emily Holmes.
He was the son of Alonzo and Eliza
Hunt. Mr.. Hunt is survived by his
wife and by his daughter, Mrs Harry
Jay. His many friends were shock
ed this morning when the report of
his sudden death was spread about
the city.

Early Adjustment of Dayton
And Western Troubles
Now Expected.
FRANCHISE WILL BE SIGNED
OFFICIALS WILL WILLINGLY
AGREE TO CONTENTS OF NEW
DOCUMENT.

After the board of public works had
carefully considered the refusal of
President Schoepf of the Ohio Elec-
trio Railway system, which controls
the Dayton & Western, to sign any
franchise agreement which provides
that any D. & W. passenger cars op-
Grated over the north end freight line.
must operate as freight cars, it was
decided to waive this and strike it
from the agreement. This was the
only point of difference between the
board and the traction company and
there is now no reason why the fran
chise should not be promptly signed
by the company officials and the
board and have it ready to submit to
council next Monday night for ratifi-
cation.
BY striking this provision from the
agreement the local status of the Day
ton & Western Traction company is
as follows: 1t has the right to oper-
ate its passenger cars over Main as
local cars. but is not required to give
or receive transfers, nor is it required
to accept city car line tickets. Local
business cannot be done west of
Eighth street.
The company also has the right to
operate its freight cars over the new
north end freight route. BY the action
just taken by the board on the insis-
tance of the company, the company
cannot operate it's passenger cars over
the north end route unless in an emer-
gency case, such as the blocking of
the Main street line, and in that event
they shall not be required to operate
as local cars and to give and receive
transfers, or to accept city tickets for
fares. a#s
1t is the general opinion that the
understanding finally reached by the
traction company and the city is sat
isfactory, being as fair to one party
as to the other. The only points
yielded by the city are the demands
for the acceptance of fares and the
giving and acceptance Of transfers; al.

PREPARES FOR RUSH.
Postmaster Spekenhier Ex'
poets Great Christmas
Business.
PROMPT DELIVERY AIM.

Postmaster Spekenhier, during the
past several weeks, has been consid-
ering the number of clerks he will ask
the department at Washington for, and
has decided that with one clerk and
two extra carriers. he will be able to
handle the Christmas rush. AS a
general rule the various large first
class offices over the country are
swamped during the holiday season, by
the enormous amounts Of mail receiv-
ed for delivery. and the lack of help to
meet and cope with the business of
this season.
This is not all that Postmaster Spe-
kenhier will secure. He will have
the small windows that form a parti-
ton between the money order room
bank netting with three windows in
stalled in its place, one for stamps,
another for money order and the third
for the registry window, although all
three will be used for the registration
of mail during the busy time. 1t will
be in this way that the local postoffice
will be fully able to handle all the
mail that will come into the local Of
flee. The work of putting in the
banking screen will start IN few days
so that all will be ready for use not
later than Dec. 18th.
Special success was met with last
year by the local post office officials
in the handling of the holiday mail
and it is hoped that the same will be
true this year, Notwithstanding the
fact that the Christmas trade is ex.
pected to increase TO about one-third
more than last year. Postmaster

First street improvement case to the
supreme court to decide whether or
not it is required 10 pay the entire

company to deny the estate of John
Schneider, the contractor who made
the improvements, the entire amount
due the estate, minus the assessment
for the storm sewer-which is the
bone of contention between the com
pany and the city.
To-day or tomorrow We will pay ov.
er 70 the Schneider estate the entire
amount due it for the work on the
street improvements, amounting ap-
proximately to $4,000 However the
company will not pay any assessment
on the storm sewer unless the SUI

of constructing the storm sewer. The

S24,647 .OS IS
DUMPED IN TREASURY
City's Share of November Tax
Receipts Turned Over.

The county auditor this morning
made out the warrants for the pay
ment of the citys share of the Novem-
Der tax receipts. The city will draw
the munificent sum of S24.747.O .OS for
the November payments. Ten per
cent is deducted temporarily by the
county treasurer to protect his office
against the possibility of error.
The receipts due the city for the
past month are unusually large. On
two days Of November the semi-annual
installment was being paid and this
swelled the proceeds of the office. The
city's funds are helped materially by
the addition.
