With applause from the
forces in favor of the ad-
mission of the new railways,
the city council last night by
a vote of 8 to l passed the
franchises of the North
Coast and the Milwaukee
railways and the terminal
company that is to build the
union passenger station.
Friends of a square deal
for the people were very
much in the minority in the
crowd in the council cham
Der, as the railroads had the
best of it in the demonstra-
tions that attended the dis
cussion over the final clashes
on the franchises.
Members of the council approach
ed the final stage of the great fight
with some nervousness. There was
some uneasy shifting in seats, few
premature motions, made in the
eagerness of the councilmen to have
1t all over. A few of the council
men realized that the step they
were about to take was the most
strenuous of their lives, and natur-
ally they could not control the emo
ton that held sway within.
SCHILLER ONLY OPPONENT.
The only opponent of the fran
chises on the floor of the city coun-
Gil was Jacob Schiller of the Third
ward. Councilman George w.
Shaefer of the Second ward was
the floor manager for the fran
chises.
On the motion of Dalke, the rules
were suspended so as to give the
franchises the right of way over all
other matters. Mr. Dalke then tried
three times to make a motion to
place 1.-The franchises on their third
reading and final passage
(which one?" asked some other
member. Dalke in his haste had
neglected to say which of the three
franchises he wanted put through
first.
Chairman Lambert suggested that
it might be well, before making the
motion, to hear the report of the
committee of the whole on the
franchises, a step that was prelimi-
nary to placing the franchises on
their final passage. The report of
the committee of the whole. recon-
mending that the franchises as re-
ported out of the council be passed,
was adopted. The North Coast
franchise was then taken up.
Councilman Nelson introduced his
amendment to hold an election, the
result of which would bind the rail
roads and the people alike. the
franchise to remain suspended
pending the outcome of the cleo
ton. Schiller seconded, but the
vote, in which the only supporters
of the election were Nelson and
Schiller. The latter demanded a
roll call. but Lambert overruled the
demand. saying that it was now too
late.
SCHILLER'S AMENDMENT.
Schiller offered an amendment
compelling the North Coast after
January /, 1915, to pay the city
$4,000 a year. Nelson seconded.
Mohr endorsed the motion, and said
that he thought the franchise might
be worth a million dollars.
Shaefer complained because
Schiller had sprung the proposition

Eidenburg, Aug. liking George
is expected to make considerable
changes at Balmoral Castle, the royal
residence in the Highlands. Being an
enthusiastic fisherman and deer-stalk-
er, he is likely to spend much Of his
vacation at Balmoral, where there
are deer forests and Salmon rivers
included in the royal estate.
Balmoral was acquired early In her
reign by Queen Victoria, who used it
as a summer retreat of the peaceful
domestic order, and only entertained
there close relatives and few inti-
mate friends.
King Edward neevr liked Balmoral,
and carefully avoided the place after
his accession, preferring to spend his
holidays on the Continent at lively re-
sorts like Marienbad and Biarritz. His
son, however, cares little about the
Continent has no need for "cures" and
wishes only to get as much sport as
possible. King George is one of the
best shots in the country, and is near
ly as successful with the rod and line.

He Avoids Politics.
Bryan refused to talk politics He
was keenly interested in the Indiana
situation, however, and asked many
questions. Many of those who heard
him thought he would have something
to say on the local option question.
but he avoided the question entirely.
A number Of preachers came to Rush
vile from surrounding towns to hear
what he would say on that subject,
but all were disappointed. The Anti
Saloon league also had a man there
to take notes on his temperance ut

he was attacked by several negroes
for the purpose Of robbery. He was
able to escape however, without being
relieved OF about $40 he had on his
person.
The attack was q most mysterious
one. Phillips went into the Oakland
Wine company, between Fifth and
Sixth streets. on Main, about $50
O'Clock and ordered some beer. Bot
ties were set out and Phillips invited
several negroes to drink with him. In
paying for the beer Phillips display
