Had one of the apples brought to this office Saturday evening been the one destined to fall on Sir Isaac Newton's head, fears are entertained as to whether the law of gravitation would ever have been discovered, by him at least. Mr. R.

P. Stanley, of Upper Alton, had read in the TELEGRAPH of some big apples and so brought several varieties to show us what big apples are. One of them was 15 inches in circumference and weighed exactly 21 ounces. Mr. Stanley says that the tree is about 30 years old and the variety is unknown to any one in this section.

Still Has Some Respect for the Law. A policeman was accosted by a drunk man Sunday to go into a saloon and take a drink with him. "Oh, no," the policeman, "I can't go in today. I could go any other day but Sunday." That policeman evidently has a little respect left for the law. If he remains in his present position there is no telling bow soon that ro- upect will "peter" out, like the Mayor's promise to enforce "all the ordinances of the city, including Sunday ordinances, and impartiality to all and favor to none." The Tie Hole Track.

Mr. T. J. Terrell, of the Alton Coal to-day produced his receipts for the amount for vitching cars for his company on the "tie hole track." The statement made by him at the Council that ho had paid as high as 85 per oar for switching was verified not only by the production of receipts but also a cancelled chock payable to the order of the Bluff Line agent, for $45, to pay for nine cars. Mr.

Terrell says ho has done no business with tho company from that date (two years ago) until his present contract, entered into on Juno last. In the meantime, Mr. T. states, tho Bluff Line bad asked him for 85 a car, 815 a car, and finally flatly refused to switch cars on the "tie hole" at any price, unless he purchased his coal along the line of the road. Ho states that in June last, when he went to see Mr.

Gays in St. Louis, that gentleman at first refused to switch his oars at any price for him, but finally mode him a rate of eight tenths of a cent per hundred pounds, ma'iing a billing statijn of the "tie hole," which Mr. Terrell thinks is illegal as it in Alton, and is only a difference of a quarter to half a mile from the station. Mr. T.

states that all ho wants is fair treatment or the satne trealtnent as ia given other dealers. That ho does not want tho tie hole track torn up if the road will permit him to use the track tho same as others; but if not, tho tie hole track should be removed, so that teams can get in to load barges with coal. Mr. Terrell states that the tie hole track is a monopoly as it is now conducted, and he asks tho City Council to take such action that the Bluff Line will not charge more than $2 a car for switching a distance of two miles, as prescribed by the Board of Warehouse and Railroad Commissioners. Fair and Impartial treatment is all he wants and all he asks for in bis petition to the Council.

For some time past tho misguided journals ot the hub have been predicting ignomlnous defeat for the Athletics when th3 tsvj ten ma came to play for the county championship. In the first game of-the S3rie3 the Athletics clearly out-played tho boastful EclwardBvilllans, and then of course tho would-be champions were to go about nr.illoring that the umpire stole the gamy. At tho next game the Athletics, to spi" 1 on the flagging hope in the breasts of the would-be champions, allowed thorn to take a game. Yesterday a of about forly accompanied tho team "to see that tlio boys got fa'" play," but that wasn't needed. When the game was over 1 Inutern jaws wore hangingadowrt the!" neck-lies.

The playing was excellent on the part of the Athletics. Nagle and Bund caught for the Allans, and luth- lessly sawed out Hie t-ntil the game became a trifle slow. When it came time for tho Athlel- ics to go to tho bat they battod the Madiaons' pitcher, Dooms, a'l over the ground, aiul Al Warner mile a home run. The score was as follows: Innings 123456789 Athletics 40023100 0-16 Madisous 021001000-4 Schoelter, of St. Louis.

The trolley lino men expect to be through with their work on the motor line this week.

Tho cars and motors will probably reach Alton before the week is over. The motors are now being placed on the cars in St. Louis. The Upper Alton Town Council, on Saturday evening decided not to accept the ordinance offered them by President Porter, asking for a franchise for furnishing light, heat and power. The Town Board now hopes to put in a plant to furnish light (arc and incandescent) and water.

They are afraid that if they give the street car company the right to furnish light, they may have competition on hand and injure their light plant. The Board is perfectly it is said, to give a franchise for running electric street oars. Tho work of changing the ties and wiring the rails progresses rapidly on tho motor lino. It is possible that the cars may be running by September 1st, propelled by electricity. Call and see our beautiful new stock of Card of Thanks.
