have the required common sense and tact "Do the dear, sweet business men want the Dayton & Western to pay

the city a subsidy for the franchise it

has applied for?" asked Study.

"Certainly not" bellowed the ship

pers. "Traction companies are not a

drain on the local public, they bring money Into the city. Why then should

we discourage them from entering

Richmond?" Staubach Silent.

Just a few days ago President Geo.

Staubach In clarion tones stated

"Never shall the Dayton & Western

receive a franchise from this city un

less it pays for it in the coin of the realm." Was that clarion voice heard at the meeting last evening?

No it was not. President George sat

silent while T. J. meekly replied to

the shippers. "We are here this evening to learn your sentiments concern

lng the various phases of the traction

Question." SchMlinger Opens Pow-Wow.

The pow-wow was opened last ev

ening by Mayor Schillinger. He assured the people that this meeting was not a political move, but an effort

to ascertain what the people thought

about the proposed move to have the

D. & W. remunerate the city for the franchise it had applied for. He then

called for a discussion. This discus

slon was opened by T. J. Study. He

said that he had read in that nasty Palladium (not exact Quotation) that a certain councilman intended to de

mand the submittal of the franchise

which had been filed with the board by the D. & W. He said that there was no intention on the part of the board to withhold this franchise (it has been moulding for three weeks in the safe of the city clerk) and it would be read. He said that he did not believe the franchise was worth anything because it was signed by representatives of the Indiana, Columbus & Eastern and the Dayton & Western two roads which had been absorbed by the Ohio Electric Railway company. Councilman Engelbert followed T. J. Study with the statement that he was probably the councilman referred to by Mr. Study. He said that he had told

a reporter yesterday afternoon that he would ask to see the franchise. He also said that he understood Mr. Study had asked Secretary Haas of the Commercial club to open negotiations with the D. & W. for the purpose of having that company apply for a franchise. Mr. Engelbert made this remark, because at the last council meeting T. J. Study had made a stateemnt to the effect that he did not believe the board should consider any franchise which had not been submitted directly to that body. T. J, Study replied to Engelbert that he had never made such a request of Mr. Haas. Then Mr. Haas! stated he had opened negotiations ! with the D. & W. at the request of one of the board members. It is unnecessary to state what relation the board bears to Mr. Studj-. Mr. Haas stated that the D. & W. submitted this' franchise with the understanding that their representatives were to meet with the board. He said that they had been ready for the past ten days to hold this meeting, but the board had rot arranged for it. Careless Methods Exposed. Statements made by Mr. Haas and Mr. Englebert gave the citizens an insight into the careless, indifferent tactics employed by the board in regard to the D. & W. matter. Having their hand exposed the board at onre threw itself at the feet of the shippers. It was a gratifying, but slightly undignified exhibition. P. J. Freeman made a statement in which he recommended that the board i"ftrt in the franchise they had prepared a provision that no more than two cars should compose a freight tiain; that no livestock should be shipped, or any class of freight except that which was boxed, crated or in packages; that all freight cars should be made similar to passenger cars and that they should be kept freshly painted. Mr. Freeman stated that he had no objection to freight cars running on Main street because he lived on that

street. He said that he thought these cars should be permitted to run over

every street In the city. He said that

some people objected to running

freight cars on Main street because

it would congest the street. "It would be a God's blessing if Main street would be congested now and then," remarked Mr. Freeman, amid laughter.

The suggestion of having only two

cars compose a freight train will probably be embodied in the franchise, but the other suggestions made by Mr. Freeman can be regulated by the po

lice powers of the city.

Remonstrance Presented. Residents of North Twenty-second

street presented a remonstrance against placing a line on either North Twenty-third street or North Twenty-

second street. The remonstrance read that freight cars were not nuisances and it was incomprehensible why people should object to them being operated on Main street. This remonstrance waa filed with the board.

John Harrington, wholesale leather

dealer, asked the board to lose no

time in bringing the Dayton & Western matter to a close. He asked the

board to lay aside all technicalities and get busy. "We jobbers have seen the Dayton and Indianapolis jobbers take away our business because of the long delay in settling the traction

troubles, and we have lost consider

able money In consequence. I also v. ant to go on record as favoring intemrban lines being granted free franchises. They bring people into the city and that means money to the local business men."

Adam H. Bartel, of the A. H. Bartel

company stated that he heartily fav

ored free franchises to all interurban

lines. He said that they were no drain on the local public, but on the other hand brought business into the city.

When Mr. Deuker made a motion to

suspend the Main street freight ordin

ance for ninety days T. J. Study

stated that Mr. Deuker was playing politics. Mr. Deuker created a laugh by replying that if he was playing pol

itics it was the right kind to play.

EIGHT RESCUED BY HERO IN SMALL BOAT

Two Women Among the Rescued.

ATWOOD MAY BE MADE CHAIRMAN

Strong Sentiment in Favor Of Placing Party Reins In His Hands.

Watertown, N. Y., July 9. The twomasted schooner Acacia, owned and

captained by William Simmons, of

Kingston, went ashore on Bull Rock

Point, near Sackett's Harbor, and late yesterday afternoon the crew was rescued by S. Gibble of Sacketts Harbor, who, after a struggle of several

hours in a smair boat, managed to reach the stranded craft. The eight

persons on board Included two women

The Acacia was of 3S0 tons burden and left Oswego late last night for

Kingston. Ont., with a cargo of coal.

Capt. Simmons said that the storm

was the worst he had ever experienc

ed in the forty years that he has

6ailed the lakes.

When the Acacia grounded those on

board never expected to reach land

and spent the night in prayer. The

boat with Its cargo will probably be a

IS A FRIEND OF BRYAN.

IS AN ORATOR OF NOTE AND HAS

HAD EXPERIENCE IN DIRECTING DEMOCRATIC AFFAIRS MANY FAVOR HIM.

Denver, Colo., July 0. A strongly

supported movement having the back

ing of a number of the most intimate

personal friends of W. J. Bryan, in

cluding several members of the national committee, was launched in Denver in the interest of John H. Atwood, of Leavenworth, Kas., a member of the Democratic national committee from that state, for the chairmanship of the new national committee.

It is stated upon good authority that

the selection of Mr. Atwood would be gratifying to Mr. Bryan.

Mr. Atwood is one of the best known

attorneys in the middle west and his

work In connection with the prosecution of many important cases against the railroads before lae Interstate commerce commission, has attracted national attention. He has been in Mr. Bryan's confidence for years and at

the request of the Nebraskan will make one of the principal seconding

speeches of the latter's nomination. He has a considerable reputation as an orator.

Mr. Atwood has had wide experience

in directing Democratic political af

fairs, and is credited with having to do more than any other man with the

victory of Bryan in Kansas in Isjm;,

when the latter swept the state by 12,-

(KX) majority.

Henry S. Cummings member of the

national committee from Connecticut.

is one of the members nf the commit

tee who expressed themselves strongly

in favor of the election of Mr. Atwood to manage the coming campaign

for Mr. Bryan.

A FAMOUS MONSTER.

An Old Time Wonder That Had an

Eje In lis Knee. In the writings of both Licetus and

Zahn may be found descriptions and

illustrations of a monster born at Ra

venna, Italy, in the year 1511 or 1512, the exact date being somewhat uncertain. This monster had a body and 6houlders like those of a young w oman. There was but one log, gradually tapering from the hips down and terminating in an immense scaled claw, like that of a turkey buzzard. There were four toes, each tipped with a bony nail, three of them pointing to the left and one to the right. The creature had

wings in place of arms and always

held them in an erect position, as

though ready to take flight at the slightest provocation. From the hips to the single knee the flesh was covered with large, well arranged feathers. From the knee joint to the foot the leg was scaled, like that of the com

mon barnyard fowl, the spot where the

feathers left off and the scales com

menced being marked with a large lidless eye, which seemed to be altogether Incapable of voluntary motion. The

neck, head and general outlines of the face were those of a woman, but the

ears were large and set very low, al

most on the neck. The head was covered with a queer mixture of scales, feathers and hair, but the oddity of the whole "upper story" was a pointed horn, which rose just In the edge of the hair on the center of the forehead. This horn was three Inches In length, and, according to Zahn, "even a farmer would have mistaken It for the horn of a two-year-old heifer bad It been removed and shown to him." The old time wonder mongers all give pictures and descriptions of this "horned Italian monster," but none tells how long it lived or what was done with the body after death.

The Changing Tfdea. The most approved theory among scientists as to the cause of the rise and fall of the tide is that the moon is the dominating cause through its differential attraction upon the opposite sides of the earth, drawing the nearer water away from the earth under the moon for the production of high water large and in like manner drawing the earth away from the opposite waters for the production of high water small. The smaller tidal effect of the sun's attraction becomes noticeable mainly as modifying the lunar tide, Increasing it in the spring tides and decreasing it at neaps and further modifying It in the priming and lagging of the tides.
