He claims to have found the sentiment decidedly against the independent company. After the bid of Warren brothers had been accepted Fiebach purchased a narrow atrip of property upon Washington avenue and then as a "taxpayer of thi- city of Elyria." protested against the action of the service board and threatened injunction proceedings. It was in this capacity that he appeared before the board Thursday 'evening However, in speaking of the Barber he invariably said "my company." He desired to know what was the reason to my office and inquired about the matter. He told me so," answered icbach.

"You mean you went around and knocked," said the solicitor. "If I was as small potatoes as you are, I would go and soak my head." "Well, I don't pretend to serve the city and at the same time own a newspaper, a personal organ, and try to grind my own axe at the same time as you do, Mr. Solicitor," retorted Fiebach.

Fiebach then went on to say that more cheaply than one year ago Now the bid of the Warren Bros was accepted last April and unde present conditions the pavement can not be put down until next spring a citizen and tax-payer, call upon this board to readvertise for bids and the Standard Paving Co. will file a guaranty bond here that a saving of $2000 can be effected in the cost of the paving by so doing."

Attorney Anthony Nelding wen to Cleveland today to take deposl tlons from witnesses In the case OL Martha Schmenkel, an infant, vs. the Lake Shore Electric Ry. which is now pending in common pleas court. The case in question is one of the famous Oak Point cases of two years ago, when an electric car overtook several picnickers on trestle and threw them thirty feet to the ground below, severely injuring all. The amount of damages claimed is $15,000.

One count of the words in the King James edition of the Bible placed the total at 773,746. Another put the number at 773,692. These figures are close together, but the same authorities differed widely in respect the number of letters. One stated he total at 3,566,480. The other ounted 3,586,489.

Both numbers re large enough to excuse errors! TO MEDINA. EJyria lost a pretty pitched battle to Medina yesterday, by the score of 3 to 1. The opposing pitchers were Te Linde, two of the best alapmen In amateur circles. Mis plays, two of them by Stoup himself, lost the game for Elyria.

Elyria scored in the first on a base on balls, a stolen base and Lawrence's smashing double to left field. After that the local team was never in it. Although In three innings they had chances and the runners wereleft shipwrecked.
