Hew Proposition For City Council

MR. C. N. WILSON OF THE COLUMBUS, MOND.

A VISITOR 1 N TH E CITY TODAY Company Will Ask For Franchise Over One of Our Streets To Build Its Own Bridge.

Mr. C. N. Wilson, general manager of the Columbus, Greensburg & Richmond, is in the city today and he is just as enthusiastic over the prospects of his road as he ever was. He said he had a proposition to present to council and would do so next Monday night. He will ask the privilege of running over one of our streets and will make a proposition to build their own bridge over Whitewater, It will be a bridge over which other traction lines will be allowed to run, provided they pay a tariff. The new road, the blue prints of which Mr. Wilson had in his possession, is almost straight between Richmond and Columbus, and has very few curves. It is surely as nice a piece of road A COMPANY WILL BE INCORPORATED TO INSTALL THE MUCH TALKED OF SYSTEM OF STEAM HEATING r WORK. BEGINS SOON Work in the Matter of Figuring up the Cost and Making Plans Has Been Going On.' While the plans for the installation of a steam heating plant in Richmond have been lying low for past month or two and have not been a matter of public discussion, it is not dead by any means. Rather it is "working underground" and will burst forth sonic day, and that soon, too, according to a local man who is greatly interested in the matter. It is now thought iLat without a doubt the company will be incorporated the last of this week to install this steam heating system in Richmond. The matter has passed out of the hands of the local promoters and lies entirely with the capitalists and moneyed men who are interested in this scheme who live in other cities, es pecially in Indianapolis. While this matter of the incorporation of the plant is not entirely definite, yt from the many persistent rumors all tending to the same thought, namely that this co mpany will soon incorporate. While unknown to the people of this city the promoters and capitalists have been carefully going over the ground for quite a long while and have at last reached the stage of ac tion. The plans of the work that will have to be done and a close estimate of the cost have been made and the men behind the scheme are now aware of the probable cost of the work. The rumors as to the probable officers of the company are not definite enough yet to be- believed for certain, but capitalists from out of 'voi: .,r0 the most greatly intc-.vsu'd and these wil probably be elected of1icrs and either move here or appoint local managers for them. The work of planning and estimation of the work has been going on for some time "below the surface" and by the first of next week at least, say those who know, the company will be incorporated and active steps will be taken for the betiinnimr of this work. The field is a

good one and is doubtful on account i Hotel, Indianapolis, today and toof one thing, namely, that the gas 'morrow. Several good speeches have service last year was better than ev-jbeen announced and a large attender before and many people will be.anee is expected. Many doctors of

tempted to risk gas again this year. But this will come later.

GREENSBURG, & RICH-

as one would desire to see. The company to be an independent road and will not ask the commissioners for a penny, but will build a traction bridge of their own. All the company wants is the right of way through Richmond, the principal city en route. From here they will go into Ohio. It is up to the newly elected council now to do the right, thing. We must have interurban lines and in order to get them, the right of way must be granted through the streets of the city. The design adopted for the road is a big Q, with the picture of a Quaker standing in the center of the latter. The idea is a good one and was the thought of Mr. Wison. The Q route sounds well.

Terrell, the Bluffton murderer, is resting comfortably in one of the men's wards at present. Five days have passed since his arrival but Terrell still maintains an attitude of dejection and absolute silence. He pays not the least attention to his surroundings but keeps his eyes fastened upon the floor. Owing to his extreme physical weakness he requires more attention than the other ini. T!T1 ill n mates. Whether he can recover from his mental condition or whether his physical powers will fail is a question of time. Men of the School of Homeopathy Convene in Indianapolis.

At the same time a remonstrance signed by the best people of Milton, was filed with the commissioners against the granting of said license. The matter was taken up by the commissioners today and the merits of the case thoroughly gone over. It was finally decided to refuse license to the applicant. This is welcome news' 'to , the residents of Milton, for they are very determined not to have1 a saloon in that quiet and peaceful ..town. Is at Hand Regular Resorts Will be Well Patronized. The excursion season is now close at hand, inquiries as to dates are becoming numerous and indications are that notwithstanding the heavy travel to the St. Louis Exposition the usual summer excursions will be well patronized. Transportation men say that this year will see the gi-eatest exclusion business the railroads have ever known, and assign as a reason the lateness of the arrival of that kind of Aveather which would make excursions paying investments for the railroads. Of course the one point where all the trains will be headed this summer will be St. Louis, and all roads running in that direction are advertising reduced rates, but still the roads running to the lakes and to the Northwest are issuing their usual amounts of excursion advertising, and are announcing as many excursions as in former years.
