Wayne y and Springfield Railway s Get Together S ° K i ■ ■ TIJRduGH CITY 8 Permitted to String Wire r Through the ? City , .. After several months of argument and Investigation, the common counf ell on Tuesday night,during their regs ular session, took up the matter, of * granting to the Fort Wajfeie & s Springfield Railway compact a fran?chlse through the city, and after the J franchise had been remodeled by the 3 city to such a degree that the mem--1 ‘bers of the council were satisfied the ’ franchise was advanced to a third f reading and was passed. For sevejal * months this matter has been hanging > in a balance, the result of much ar- ; gument being Introduced as to dan--1 ger of a high tension wire being ‘ strung through the city, and also to r the damage that the same might do Mo the telephone company. The matter was thoroughly threshed out last > evening by the various members oft the council who at last came to the] ’, conclusion that if a high tension wire was properly insulated and cared for . that there would be no more danger than the construction of new city ' wires. In relation to what damage the same might do to the telephone company, the council was advised that they did not dare to discriminate betwen two corporations and that {if after the wire was up and the-tele-phone company was damaged to any J degree, that their recourse lay in 'suing the railway. The franchise was * amended in several Instances, the 'city dads asking that the wire be > highly insulated and that not less . than number Jour wire in size could ibe used and that the' same should be ! strung under the supervision of the Icily electrician and that all material 1 should also be under his supervision and that the railway company should ' so construct their line as to meet with ■ their approval. It further provides •that after tearing up the brick street -.the track shall be laid in concrete, thus insuring that the same will l£ty 1 in its place, and not molest the street i in any shape and will be in the end ; a great saying to the city and interurban in the way of making repairs. iThe new franchise is binding in eviery, respect and before the railway’ company is permitted to commence < ; work they are to file with the city clerk a bond for ten thousand dol- ’ lars to protect the city from any ( damages that might arise during the construction of the line in the way of personal injuries or injuries to property. The franchise as amended was approved and accepted by the interturban who seemd (fair in , every respect and showed a desire to (meet the city dads on any proposi- . ■ tion that Whs just and with the. new . conditions demanded by the city that : portion of the line yet to be con- : structed will be in much better shape ; than the portion so far completed ! through the city. The franchise fuf- ! ther states that the Interurban peo- < pie in relaying the brick between : ; the rails of their track shall use what • ’is known as a nose brick along the rail, which will insure the same from ; being torn from Its place while the cars are in operation. It Is the indention of the railway company as stated last evening to start work on the track through the city In the .very near futuire, and according to the terms of their franchise they are granted ninety days in which to complete the same. The matter of granting this franchise has caused the council considerable trouble and much valuable time has been consumed in hearing arguments and debates oyer varlows questions and by last night’s actions those/who. have grievances and will be damaged will be compelled tb take their recourse through the , laW ’ ■ Dore B.

VOLCANOES., : - -What are volcanoes?” Nlns out of every ten persons wou’l Immediately have an answer of some sort to the question above, for have they not a lively remembrance of hav- : ing learned in their schoolbooks that “p volcano is a burning mountain, from the summit of which are sent out smoke and flames?” This popular fancy has been exploded by scientists, whose ' work is to explode popular fancies. Id the first place, volcanoes are not > necessarily mountains. In reality they are just the reverse—that is, holes in ' the earth’s crust. Out of these are ttyrown the materials which, accumulating. form the heaps which we popularly call mountains. These are, then, the result and not the cause of the action. Neither are they “burning,” as we understand the term. There la' no combustion nor any action we might reasonably call “burning.” The action need not necessarily take place at the summit, for eruptions are just as frequent At the sides or even at the'base. The so called “smoke” is nothing more or less than the clouds of condensing steam which are formed on every occasion when an eruption occurs. i Lastly, the “flames," so called, are merely the’reflection of the mass of molten rock and material inside the crater on the clouds of steam above, thus appearing as a glowing light The . friction, too. tot up ,by the motion of ' the materials .causes eisetrieity, and hence the lightning discharges which flluminafUit effeetr-Pear. ,soi£|MgMAitie. VflTO WITHOUT BALLOTS. An Election Day at, Qhariottesville, Ve., In 1804. At Charlottesville, Va., the seat of Albemarle county, according to Miss Mary Johnston’s chronicle of “Lewis > Rand,” they were voting for a member of the house of delegates. It was the fourth Wednesday in April. The year was 1804. ' ' “Under the locust trees to the right of the open gate were placed long tables and on them three mighty punch bowls, flanked by drinking cups and guarded by house servants of venerable appearance and stately manners. Here good Federalists refreshed’themselves. To the left of the gate, upon the trampled grass beneath a mulberry. appeared other punch bowls and in addition a barrel of whisky ready broached for all good Democrat-Re-publicans. The sunny street was filled with bones, vehicles and servants; the broad path between the trees, the turf on either hand and the courthouse steps werjs crowded with riotous vottp. All ranks of society, all ages, occupations and opinions, met in the gen- . lai weather beneath the trees, where sang every bird of spring.” Within the courthouse the sheriff presided. Conspicuous sat the two candidates. There were no ballots, but each voter made known his choice by living voice: '» “I vote, sir,” cried tbs colonel, “for Mr. Ludwell Cary, for a gentleman and a patriot sir. and may the Old coufity never be represented but by suchf’ ' - The Money Germ. The Baltimore Sun comes out with a warning that probably few will heed. It says, “Don’t let the money germs bite you,” and adds that a man who has taken the trouble to count ’em says that 124,000 bacteria roost comfortably on each one dollar bill after the currency has been circulating freely for a year or so. So if you have |SO in your pocket you are probably carrying abound about 6,200,000 germs. “Yet," says the Bun, “there are men brave enough to face this terrible risk just for the sake of having 'a roll of greenbacks. It simply shows what dangers man will undergo for money. Most of us, however, are not tn serious danger.” » Garibaldi’s Simplicity of Character. An instance of Garibaldi’s modesty ■nd simplicity of character is afforded by the following letter, written to his wife at Oaprera the day after the battle of Dlglon: * Dear Francccca-XMterday the Italian volunteer* fought the whole day agalast the PruMiana, the beet eoldlorc tn the world, and wen./ The weather uerC is very cold, and to snowing.
