STORY IS
TALK OF
IHLe|II

THE TINES exclusive story of the let
ting of the $11s.000 contract for the
construction of the Dueike road tthe
extension of Calumet avenue) is the
talk of the city in financial and con-
tracing circles
This is the largest road contract that
was ever let in Lake county by about
$4,000. The other bidders on this job
are anxious to know what William
Ahlborn has up his sleeve that would
enable him to make such ->w bid.
Not That idea.
At nrst it was thought that Ahlborn
alone had conceived the idea of get
ting permission from the land owners
along Calumet avenue, where it runs
through Lake George. to take out the
fill with a dredge.
But H. p Downey of the firm of
Downey & Portz stated to TINES re-
porter today that he. too, planned to
make the fill with a dredge and that
he did not think Ahlborn had any the
best of him in figuring out that idea.
Just Wanted to Show.
AL Fisher of the William Ahlborn
Co. was interviewed by a TINES re-
porter in the absence of William Ah1-
born. who is at Mineral Wells. Tex. The
fact was pointed out that he could have
made his bid $24.6eo higher and still
have landed the contract.
Well. we just wanted to show them

CREDITORS MEET.

A creditors committee met this att
ernoon in the Lincoln-J efferson Col
lege of Law for a conference among
themselves and with Charles L. Sur
prise the receiver. for the Calumet In
stitute to determine the future course
of the institute. Early this afternoon
it seemed highly probable that the
school would be continued without
any interruption as the creditors real
ize that in this way they could save
more than by an immediate 1iquida-
tion- The committee is composed OF
about tweve business men most of
them Chicago men who had contracted
with the institute TO furnish books and
equipment.

All of. this is very like other quiet
weddings that have taken place in this

after the knot has been tied at some
distant point, the astounded relatives
received telegram announcing the
happy circumstance, and asking for
the parental blessing on the union. But
nothing of this kind occurred in con-
nection with the Williams Granger

OBITUARY.
ALEXANDER r. HAeERrHY.

ALEXANDER II. HAGERTHY.
A wave OF sorrowful surprise swept over
the community last Saturday morning
when it became known that Alexander r.
Hagerthy had passed away suddenly in
the early hours OF that day. He had been
upon the streets the previous evening,
apparently in bis usual health, and had
returned to his fathers home for the
night. Shortly after midnight DR..
Hagerthy was awakened by his sons Pc
culiar breathing, and went at once to his
room, to find him beyond help even then.
All that love and skill could do to save the
fast-ebbing life was done, but without
avail, and he sank rapidly to the end.
Alexander r.. Hsgerthy was born in
Sedgwick Oct. 6. 1881, son of DIR. A. c. and
Madella Green Rageztby. His father re-
moved to Ellsworth when he was but a
lad, and all his associations have been in
this city. He attended the public schools
here, and began the study of medicine in
the Baltimore medical college, but did not
complete the course.
About year ago he entered the cloth =
ing business in company with George p.
Smith, in which business he was engaged
at his death. Everybody knew "Eck"
Hagerthy. Possessed OF genial nature,
cheerful and kindly in all his relations
with his fellows,'h he had rare faculty for
making friends, and those friends we're
retained to the last.
He was very warm hearted; generous to
a fault in his impulses, and performed
many deeds OF kindness to the sick and
needy which the life about him knew
nothing of. He was gifted with an ex-
ceedingly quick and alert mind; keen in
repartee, and with almost genius for
complicated arithmetical problems. Few
men could reduce an unruly set of books
to order so quickly and accurately as he.
His friends will miss sorely the joviai
greeting, the social manner, the ready
sympathy which they had learned ever TO
associate with him.
The funeral services were at his fathers
home last Monday at p. m, Rev. r. b.
Mathews, OF the Congregational church,
attending. He is survived by his father
and stepmother and one sister Mrs. II. T..
Mason, who have the deep sympathy of
all.
The bearers were George P. Smith, NJ.
r. Head, DR.. George s. Hagerthy and
Owen II. Treworgy.

Speaker John A Peters, of Els
worth, who honored the Economic
club Thursday evening by coming here
to deliver brief address, is looked
upon as one of the leaders of the new
republican party in Maine. He has
made fine record as speaker of the
House, presiding over its delibera
tios through many stormy sessions
with dignity and fairness, and he has
justified the expectations OF his party
and admirers throughout the State in
furthering progressive legislation and
solidifying the republican party.
