Some Important Matters to
be Considered.
STREET RAILWAY PROPOSITION
Davids Street Residents
Will be Disappointed.
Local Car Company Under its Fran
chise Cannot be Made TO Run its
Cars on Davids Street TO Belle |
fOntain Avenue.

a great deal of important business
is scheduled to come up this evening
at the regular meeting of the city
council. The semi-annual appropria-
tion ordinance, which is being prepar-
ed by the finance committee, will be
submitted at this session. The consld-
Grafton of this ordinance alone will
take up the greater part of the even
ing. Contracts will be awarded at this
meeting to various banks of the city
as repositories for the city's money.
The banks bidding the highest rate OF
interest will be made the depository.
The matter of compelling the Ma.
ron Street railway company to run
it's cars to Belefontaine avenue, will
be further considered this evening.
City Solicitor Elmer r. Boyd, declares
that after carefully looking over ths
company's franchise, he has discover
ed the fact that council cannot COM
pei the company to run the local cal 3
on David street. The lines of the loctl
street car company, end at the corner
of David and Center street In order TO
continue the local cars on David street
the companyAmust run them over an
other compaHy's tracks, There is M
clause in the franchise through which
tho city can compel the street car
company TO do this. Council is anxious
to please the David street residents but
the members are convinced that anS
effort to compel the company to ex
tend the service, would be futile. The
David street residents are urged -
be present at council meeting tonight
where the city solicitor will fully ex
plain the clauses in the street ca:i
franchise. The management of the
local company declares that II would
be loosing proposition to run carr
on David street during the winter
months. Much as the company would
like to accommodate the residents Ct
that vicinity, 1t finds it impossible.

''Our brewers and distillers are

The laws prohibiting murder and

there would be hundreds of crimes

ed Miss Spencer went out on the
street a short time before his accus-
toned passing. met him face to face
and cut him dead
The next morning Harrington walk
ed by the house as indifferently as be-
fore. Miss Spencer was watching for
him from behind a curtain. For three
successive mornings she was at her
post and saw the same Indifference.
Then she wrote note to Mr.. Harring-
ton telling him that she had declined
to speak to him because she had heard
something about him to his discredit
If he would call on her she would tell
him; she didn't wish to do him an in
justice.
Harrington called the same evening.
Miss Spencer wore her most becoming
costume. She was a pretty girl and
had never looked prettier. There was
no convenient place for him to sit ex-
cept next her on the sofa. She told
him that some one had maligned him;
had said he hated women. He replied
that he was not in position to deny
the charge, for he had made such re-
mark a number of times.
"But you didn't mean it." she said.
Don't say you did, for know you
are gentleman, and none such would
attack the weaker sex"
Harrington saw pair of beautiful
blue eyes looking into his. He felt
complimented. and he felt drawn to-
ward Miss Spencer.

standard Of honor, which is far be-
meath that in vogue among men. But
am open to conviction. If within
three months you are able to convince
me that women are as honorable as
men | will renounce my opposition
Meanwhile shall see you frequently,
and we will go out together.
Agreed said Miss S encer.
Harrington kept his word. He called
often and invited her to go out with
him. She declined his invitations for
places of amusement for fear she
would be seen by some of the girls
with whom she had made the compact.
She knew very well what she would
say to them when the time came to
say it, but the time had not come.
One day Harrington was about to get
on a trolley car A young lady on the
platform blocked his way. she was
about to step down into the street
when Harrington put hand on her
shoulder and held her back. A second
later an automobile driven By drunk
en- chauffeur grazed the trolley car.
