COUNCIL APPROVED , COMPLETE REPORT

Terms Agreed upon with President McGowan Satisfactory to That Body. POOR POINTS COVERED. include stopping of limited cars, carrying centerville passengers; rzfaip.of main STREET AND FRtiCHT RCUTZ.. Monday evening tl c'Jy council re ceived a complete iCyOrt from the board of public works, concerning the c-onfercr'c held with President McGowan, by the special council committee and the board in the matter of freight traffic. The report was concurred in by council. It follows:: The undersigned members of the hoard of public works, and- of the special counetl committee on interurban freight traffic beg to make the following report of the proceedings and retmlt of a joint conference had with the official's of the Indiana, Columbus and Eastern Interurban Railway company. The conferences w ere held on Thursday, March 14h. the first late in the forenoon, and the last in the afternoon. After an inspection of various routes to be considered for hauling interurban freight, both the interurban company above named and the Dayton & Western company were understood by us to be feprescnted in the conferences by the following officers: 2Ur. Hugh-McGowan. president of the Indianapolis & Eastern: Mr. C. C. Reynolds, general manager of same: and Mr. John Appel, a director in said company. As a result of the conferences, Ir. McGowan practically made the folJo.wlng proposition to meet various points of complaint against the intertirban companies:: Stopping Limited Cars. , First, as to stopping limited cars at

other points m me euy oesiue me p.-j Cincinnati. March 19 The flood in penger station: They proposed that j CirjCinnatI ls practically over, as the one stop would be made on the west,stage ha3 hQn at 62 feet since eleven

side, and one stop in me east ei-u "Jijiast nizht

the city, es such points as may be designated by the city authorities. Second, as to Centerville passengers: That orders ; would be' Issued to accept ten cents from shop men and other passengers as a fare from any part of the city to Centerville, just as they now give transportation to any part of the city from Centerville. Third, as to condition of Main street: The street was to be put in good condition, and that part of the track which is not now laid in concrete would be taken up and so relaid in concrete. One half of said work at least to be done within one year, and the balance within two years. Fourth, as to freight route: To diTert all west bound freight cars from Main street north at Twentieth street, go thence to North E street, thence west on North E street to Ft. Wayne avenue: thence southwest on said avenue to North T street; thence west on jaid street to North Fifth street; thence south on said tfrect to Main Ftreet. and thence west on said street as at present. All eastbound freight taking the same route. " Remonstrances Aro" Presented. Members of this joirft committee urged the wisdom and practicability of directing said freight cars from Main street north" on Twenty-second street, eis being objectionable to a much less number of our citizens, but Mr. Mct.owan would not agree to this, for the rrason- that it would be too expensive to maintain tracks on both twentieth and Twenty-second streets, and that to transfer the Twentieth street rack to Twenty-second street would work a hardship on the people -on Twentieth, besides would lose them passenger traffic because of its inconvenience. Since said conference a reTUbonAtranee signed by a large majority of the i esidenis on North Twentieth street between Main and E streets, opposing the use of said street for freight traffic and declaring the signers would prefer tire line taken up than to have such freight traffic carried over said street, has been presented to this joint committee. . Also a remonstrance signed by the residents of Main street between Twentieth and Twenty-second streets, and one by property owners of the" part of Ft. Wayne avenue, affected by the proposed freight line. All toese remonstrances are herewith presented to your honorable body and made a part of this report. . No Tickets on Cars. This committee also urged the propriety of the sale of street car tickets on the cars, but this Tequcst "was declined very emphatically. The suggestion of universal transfers from cicy to outgoing interurban cars, was also vetoed by Pres'dent McGowan. On Friday, the jr.tai. the engineer of the traction ccmpaay, Mr. McMahan, w&3 in. the city.. and together with the city engine i .ilr. ..Caaxles. went over the various ro'ics . under .consideration at

It is thought that when the lodge meets Thursday night the committee appoint ed to solicit stock subscriptions, will report that all the stock placed on the market has been taken. The Elks, after discussing the home project, attacked a splendid lunch and left it in ruins. Several boxes of cigars went up in smoke and the prize story tellers of the lodge offered their "latest." Music was also -rendered. The feature of the entertainment was an exhibition billiard match between Frank Brown, amateur champion of

Milwaukee, and Frank I. Braffett, thejdo;ar to the cause. An 0id man Pist best player in the lodge.

It was urged by the traction officials and' agreed to by this committee that in -case the city acquiesced in the proposals of the said traction officials, this committee would recommend the suspension of the penal ordinance now in force .prohibiting the hauling , of freight cars on Main street, until such reasonable time as such changes as agreed to, could be made. .

One night, after he had l:nis:ed yarning, lie w as . a little taken aback by one of his audience, who said: "That's nothing. ; I have lain down nd actually slept among lions in their wild, natural state." - "I don't believe that. I'm no fool," said the bold hunter. : "It's the truth, though." :"You slept among Iiorts in their wild, natural state?"! : i "Yes. I certainly did." 'Can you prove it? Were they African?" "Well, not exactly 'African lions. They wero dandelions." . , Pfatinum "Vanishing. A prominent French, writer deplores the vanishing stock of the world's platinum, says the London Globe. All the known deposits are becoming exhausted, and the jrice is going up to a prohibitive extent. In 1876 the metai could be bought for $100 the kilogram. Four years later it had. doubled, in 1901 It had quadrupled, and, tod ay the price Is $1,200 per kilogram, or twice the price of gold. Even that Is fcr crude 'platinum. The worked metal Ls twice as dear again. Considering hor many industries are now absolutely dependent on platinum, the question of replacing it by some really efficient alloy or combination is acquiring vital Importance. : ? ; ;- toes.'V

V ,...'. The month-of March seeras to be proving an exception this year, in that there has been a number of electrical storms .sweeping thefCOuny, one o the worst of which struck - Richmond about four o'clock this morning. The lightning was' blinding while the loud claps of thunder awoke ?. majorjy ofthe people in the - .c'vt. The .: high wind and iieavy raui further tended to make the storm alarming.- " Electric lighting companies, although not suffering any direct loss to the plants themselves, were considerably handicapped throughout "the day by "down" wires" and the repairing of fuses which had blown oat in different sections of the city. Telephone systems suffered to a great extent, wires beirg gvoinded whila about fifty, phones in different psrts of -the city were burned out by . the lightning.- !-The latter' struck in ieveral" places but the damage 'was not great. Fury Was Alarming. "A" 'high1 wind coupled 'with vivid lightning to the south, warned the people that a severe "storm was coming and in a few moments, the rain, thunder and lightning broke loose over Richmond with afiiry,' which alarmed many. The popping of the 'teleprones and the ringing of telephone bells added to the situation. One loud clap of. thunder followed another. and the heavens seemed to be a vertiable mass of fire and scarcely a moment during the fifteen minutes, which' it took for the storm to pass, over the city, was there darkness. ,': ; Older men o the city saytbey have never seen such a great number of electrical storms during the month of March.
