LOCAL OPTION IN THE VERGE Probably Of Success but Pos
 sibIy of Defeat
  A DAY OF MANY THINGS
Mir. O'Neill Makes a Few Vi triolic Observations--Rail- way Commission Bill Ready For Passage in the House. The ti-Gambling Act.

The legislative day in both houses was not without many points If inter- est, most of them bristling in the coun- cil, where members and spectators were anxiously watching the fate of the local option bill. There was a prob ability of its passage under a suspen- sion of the rules. but at the last mo- ment there was a failure to suspend the rules. the bill was sent along its regular course and, in the nature of things, will reach the end of its jour ney this morning.
 Though on the face of things there is no doubt now entertained of it's passage, its defeat is yet possible. What may be regarded as a test vote developed just enough strength to pass it and no more. Some of its friends in the council are by no means en- thusiastic.
 The Duffy anti gambling bill, a copy of the Day council bill, was passed by the council and is now in the hands of the governor. If this does not utterly break up gambling of every form in this territory, nothing will The bill is supplemental to the bill of two years ago. It leaves nothing for the reform element to desire and leaves no hope for the rest. Several gentle men last night laid aside all other bus mess to play solo and win back what they had lost before the signature of the governor is attached to the bill.
 The DeSouza railway commission bill was considered in the whole com mittee of the house. and though it was subjected to many amendments it's passage under a suspension of the rules was urged, but failed by mar row margin.

Those who have witnessed the hor-
rors of the traffic in decrepit horses
that has for SO long been carried on
between this country and Belgium
must rejoice that at length steps are
to be taken to check if not to stop it.
Lord Darlington, on behalf of the
Board of Agriculture, has promised to
appoint a special veterinary to super
wise the enbarkations and enforce the
existing rules; and the municipality
OF Antwerp, whittier most of the ami
mails are taken, has decided to press
the Belgian Government to provide
railway trucks for conveyance to their
destination instead of driving them
In their wretched condition through
the streets, OF to provide shambles
near the quay where they could be
slaughtered.
But why not stop the disgusting
traffic altogether? It is no secret
that these wornout, manned and often
diseased animals are sold by dealers
in this country to foreign buyers, who
convey them across the North Sea to
places in Belgium where they are
killed and converted into meat for
consumption chiefly by people of the
peasant class, but sometimes into I'M
recognizable food for others.-Lon>

The Bigness of New York.

On a land area of about 325 square
miles New York City handles half
the foreign commerce of the United
States, manufactures more products
than the State of Pennsylvania or
Illinois and finances more than sixty
per cent. of the entire commerce of
the country as measured by bank
clearings.
If the harbor of boston had been
wiped from the commercial slate in
the winter of 1907 the loss in foreign
commerce due to that disaster would
barely have equalled the decline in
New York's foreign commerce last
year. The total foreign traffic of
Boston and Charlestown was $685.
305 900 in the fiscal year 1907, while
the total decline in New York's for
eign traffic in the calendar year 1908
vas $225,866,000-
The second biggest foreign COM
merce of the nation is handled at Gal
weston. 1t is only $4,000, 900 bigger
than the decline in the commerce OF
New York last year. The fuctuation
in the business of New York then is
practically equal to the entire ton
mage of the next biggest port in the

Right of Possession,

A. J.. Singelyn, of the Burns Hotel,
says somebody played a mean trick
on n of his German customers last
week.
"The German had enc of those old
fashioned fly traps in his place." said
Mr.. Singelyn. 1T is about a foot
high and half the diameter at the
bottom. The flies get in somehow
and then they can't find their way
out. A fellow went into the saloon
on n of the hot days and the fly
trap was full. I'll give o half a
dollar for them fies,' says he, and
the Germans face lit up as he ac-
cepted it and showed over the trap.
The man looked at it awhile, then
loosened the bottom and let the flies
out.
Watts der matter NIT you?' asked
the excited German.
Nothing replied the man as he
neared the door. They were my flies
and l could do what I wanted with

TWO MEN KILLED IN HOLDUP
Another Fatally Shot by Bandit
in Philadelphia.
Suspect is Believed to Be the Man
Who Held Up a Train. on Penn.
sylvania Road.


Philadelphia, PA masked bandit
killed two men and fatally wounded
another in a hold-up of a saloon
in the old York road this city. The
bandit fired three shots, and then
with the three men in the saloon on
the floor he ran out and escaped.
Reuben Conn, a teamster, has been
arrested on suspicion, but he asserts
he will prove an alibi.
James F. Quinn, a builder of eleva-
tors, received a bullet in the abdomen
and died in an hour. Henry F. Say.
lor, a grocer, also was shot in the
abdomen, and lived two hours. John
j. Cassidy, a politician, was struck in
the right thigh, and was taken in a
serious condition to the Samaritan
Hospital. The bullet broke the bone
and travelled up into the abdomen.
The police incline to the theory
that the bandit was the man who
held up a train on the Pennsylvania
Railroad i'll Lewistown Narrows a few
weeks ago. The descriptions are al.
most identical in every detail, and in
each instance the same kind of mask
was worn.
Quinn was behind the bar for his
father, who owns the saloon. Cassidy
was standing with a glass filled with
beer in his hand. Saylor was reading
a newspaper in a chair. The bandit
came through the swinging doors
with a revolver leveled. A soft felt
a was pulled low over his eyes and
a red handkerchief concealed his face.
He pointed the revolver at Quinn.
Give me your money or I'll blow
your head off" he said.
Quinn thought the man was Joking.
That's a poor kind of a joke" he
said.
The robber reached across the bar
and almost touched Quinn with the
revolver. "If you don't give me your
money it will go for your funeral"
he said. Quinn turned to the cash
register and took out $45 in loose
bills, but did not touch $500 in a roll.
The robber caught the money Quinn
held out and stuffed it in his trousers
pocket.
Suddenly Cassidy started for the
door. Il guess this is no place for
mel he exclaimed. The bandit
turned quickly and fired. Cassidy
dropped against a table and slowly
sank to the floor. Saylor sprang from
his chair and tried to reach the street
by another door. A bullet stopped
him, and the third bullet dropped
Quinn as he came around the end of
the bar. The bandit lowered his
weapon.
We'll, I guess that will hold you
for a while" he said, and darted out.
