AT MEETING WEDNESDAY NIGHT
IT WILL BE DECIDED TO MAKE
THIS IMPROVEMENT.
Practically Every Merchant on New
castle Street FavOrs Plan-To Ex.

to City Hail.
Brunswick is to have a great white

Brunswick is to have great white
way
While the matter has not as yet
been definitely decided, it is known
that practically every merchant on
Newcastle street favors the plan, and
at a meeting Of the Retail Merchants
and Business Mems association, to be
held on Wednesday, for the specific
purpose of taking up this matter, 1t
is believed that it will be decided to
at once put in this great improvement,
which will make Newcastle street as
bright at night as it is at noon.
The News on several occasions has
mentioned the probability of a white
way for the city's principal street.
Several merchants at once became in
terested and the matter was generally
discussed among them, with the re-
suit that members of the merchants
association decided that it should be
taken up by the organization. Presi-
dent Bruce has called meeting for
Wednesday, and while it is not yet
known exactly what will be the re-
suit, it is known that almost every
merchant on Newcastle street, within
the district to be covered, has en-
dorsed the plan and will vote in favor
of it when the question comes up for
final action
The Mutual Light and Water COM
pany, it is understood, has signifed
its willingness to cooperate with the
merchants in every way possible A
representative of the company will
probably be present at the meeting
on Wednesday and will discuss the
matter with the merchants.
The plan, as suggested, provides for
many large lights on either side of
Newcastle street from the A, B. &
A. depot to the city hall Each mer-
chant or other business house is to
pay for the lights in front of their re-
spective places of business. A repre-
sentative of the company which sells
the lights and posts has already been
in the city, named the price, etc, and
the cheapness with which the white
way can be established was so sur
prising that the merchants and others
of the city at once decided that it
would be a good thing.

Lonely Ride, Deserted Her, and a
Kansas Mob Disrobed and Then
Adorned Her.

men and boys have been arrested aud
aoed unoer bond here for alleged
connection with the tarring and feath-
ering Of young school teacher, Miss
Mary Chamberlain, ten days ago. A
strong effort had been made to keep
the matter quiet, but County Attorney

for next month. Other arrests are
expected.

cord, e. G. Clark, A. NJ Simms, John
Schmidt, Watson Scranton, Jay Fitz-
water, Chester Anderson and Delbert

stopped the buggy and ran into the
woods. Several men, who had gone

gy, removed part of her clothing, ap-
piled the tar and feathers and left
her. Her escort returned later and

boarding house. Miss Chamberlain
was not seriously injured.

guilty in the justice of the peace court
and sentenced each to three months
in Jail have appealed to the district
court and are out on bond.
Edward Ricord, who took the girl
to the spot where the attack was
made, is serving a sentence of a year
in Jail for his part in the affair.
