Second street. All the round Alton was visited by a heavy rain, of several hours duration Monday afternoon, which greatly benefited vegetation of all kinds and cooled the atmosphere 20 or 30 degrees. While it rained east, west and south of Alton, it only sprinkled in this city and Jersey county. Brighton and Macoupin county received no rain at all. Above Alton in the vicinity of Clifton there was a perfect deluge of water, and the same can be said of the American Bottoms and St.

Louis. The rain will be of" inestimable value to the growing crops. Wholesale stsre.

The compulsory closing of the shops was a most agreeable arrangement to many of the barbers here, but there were quite a number who aid the heaviest business of the week on Sunday.

All the proprietors of those shops who were opposed to the enforcement of the law will probably reopen their establishments, and for self-protection the other barbers will do the same thing.

Commissioners Against the Electric Street Railway. Musi Cross at Second Street and Put in Inter-locking Signals. The decision of the Board of Railway and Warehouse Commissioners as to the crossing of the G. A. -railway at Piosa street was received yesterfl day morning.

The following is tre decision: In the matter of the Petition of the Chicago Alton Railroad Co. vs. The Alton Railway Illuminating Co. Petition asking the Railroad and Warehouse Commission to prescribe the place and manner of crossing the tracks of the petitioner by respondent. Heard at Springfield, Illinois, May 8, A.

D. 1896. It is ordered by the Commission that the respondent, Alton Railway Illuminating Co. have leave to cross with its tracks at grade the track of the Chicago Alton Railroad Co. at the intersection of Piasa street with Second street in the city of Alton.

It is further ordered that the crossing of tracks to be thus formed be protected by a system of inter-locking signals to be agreed by the partieh with this Commission's approval, if the parties are able to agree. The cost of construction and expense of maintenance of such device shall he paid for by the Alton Railway and Illuminating Company, as provided by the statute, and it is further ordered by the Commission that the cost of operation of said inter-locking device, the said Alton Railway and Illuminating Company shall pay one-half and the said Chicago Alton Railroad Company shall pay one-half. And inasmuch as the statute only directs the Railroad and Warehouse Commission to prescribe by order a plan of the inter-locking in case the parties are unable to agree, therefore it is further ordered that this petition be further held under consideration by the Commission pending the efforts of the petitioner and respondent to agree upon a plan of inter-locking. Adopted May 11, A. D.

QAHAN, GEO. W. FlTHAN. No definite action has been decided on by the Electric Car Company. A meeting of the Directors was held this morning, and it was practically left to the Attorneys of the company, Messrs.

Baker and McQinnis, who will think over the matter a day or two before advising their clients. It is possible that a conference will be had by the officers of the Alton and Electric companies, on Friday or Saturday. The change crossing ordered by the Railway Commissioners would necessitate the laying of the track on the west side of the street. The ordinance provides for the east side. If the suggestion of the commissioners is adopted, it wiil be necessary for the Council to meet in special session and so amend the ordinance as to put the laying of the track on the west side.

The expense of erecting inter-locking signals will be quite heavy, added to the expense of maintaining and operating. One-half of the latter falls upon the O. A. Company. Fox Hill Herd Poland China Swine.
