All Of the protesting property
owners tybng the stream also have
their objections removed. Having
decided upon the location. we have
secured options and agreements GOV
ering the entire river front from
Second street to Hargraves street on
the east side and from Second street
to the bend Of the river on the west
side.
We Rao recommend for the coun-
ellis aftprdval that the committee be
empowered to expend part Of the
money placed in its hands in con-
structing the piers of the dam high
enough to serve as abutmentsfor an
iron bridge at Second street. The
piers can be built within the appro-
priation and the bridge itself will
cost about $500, when erected. We
believe that this plan will meet the
hearty approval of the people and
that the public improvements made
will be Of sinestimable value to the
city in many ways.

In view of the standing of the jury,
seven for acquittal and five for convic-
ton Of a minor degree Of homicide. when
dismissed as unable to agree after the
former trial of the case. the defending
counsel regard it as impossible that Von-
dermiller can be convicted of any de-
gree of murder, and expected to effect
his acquittal at the retrial. which was
to have begun tomorrow. Therefore they
have refused to make terms with tue
prosecution looking to the acceptance OF
a sentence by the prisoner.
