There are about 100 wires in it, I think quite a curiosity in Akron, 1 suppose. One of our customers has the patent for putting the lead on the outside of these wires and Mr. Boyd en was in his office one day last week when a man came in and offered him 60,000 in cash for the patent and he would not take it. What do you think of that? Wouldn't you like to own it? That isn't a speck to what he will make out of it." MOTHER LOWDEN'S INSANITY. Peculiar and Pathetic Form of Religious Eccentricity.

Mental eccentricity, when it takes the form of tenderness, or philanthropy, or unselfishness, is frequently more admirable than dull, indifferent, selfish sanity the sort of mental equipoise that is absorbed in itself. So, at least the train men of the N. P. O. road fervently think, for they have on the route a guardian angel, upon whose constant and gentle attentions they are enthusiastic without reserve.

The story is a pretty one, with just a dash of pathos, and it is likely to be of interest to the Beacon constituency, as all matters pertaining to the -road naturally are. At North Lewisburg. a little town lo NEW AKRON ENTERPRISES. Teeba Cotta.Wokks Will Be a Go. From Tuesday's Call; Beacon.

Clark, a young man recently employed by the Werner Printing Lithographing was arrested ra Canton this morning for grand larceny. Last Monday he appeared in R. Tate Son's livery stable, on North Main street, this city, and hired a horse and buggy worth about $350. The customer having hired livery at thisplace before, the liverymen granted the request, expecting that the rig would be returned before evening. The rig not coming back during MCSSPy night Mr.

Tate was led to believe that the horse and buggy were stolen and made investigations, and reported the matter to the officers. It was learned that the horse was kept in the city during the entire day Monday and also that; before leaving the city Clark disposed of the buggy Tin a trade for a cart and $12. Mr, Tate yesterday went to Canton and thismorning he detected his horse, Clark still having possession of the animal. Clark was immediately taken prisoner and locked up. This morning Detective Dunn, having traced the animal to Orrville, thence to Massillon, started for Canton, not knowing that Clark was under arrest.

He there learned that the man had registered fictitiously at the Tre-mont House, and was enquiring as to the direct road td Pennsylvania. The prisoner was brought to the city by Mr. Dunn and lodged behind the bars, where he, now languishes. Reai. Estate Transfers.

The sensational report that the map. eive stone bridge which spans the Onio canalon WestMarket street is unsafe, it utterly without foundation in fact.

No more solidly or permanently construct, ed masonry is to be found in this vicinity than that which comprises the Market etreet bridge. It was built by competent contractors and they did not Blight their work. It is the unanimous opinion of all the engineers and architects in the city, including City Engineer Par-6hali, that tho structure is not only safe, but is capable of withstanding any amount of weight that is likely to ba placed upon it without being affected the slightest way. Mr. Frank Lukesh, one of the engineers who assisted in the construction of the Market street bridge over the canal seventeen years ago, was seen this morning by a representative of The Beacon.

Concerning the report above referred to ho said "I was much surprised to se any question raised a. to the -eaOty of tho Market street bridge over the canal. It is as sound as a dollar and capable of resisting all the pressure that can be put upon it. archway which forms the aqua-duct for the Schumacher mills just west of the Valley station and the arch which forms the wasteway for the same water, just a short distance further west, are not in the best condition, and I have my doubts Whether it would be proper to pile a fill ovei that arch in its present con. dition.

Both that and tho smaller arch are now, in my opinion, ovcaweighted, and while I am not sufficiently well posted as to their oondition, to pronounce either them unsafe I believe they wouldbe rendered unsafe by placing on them the additional weight of the proposed fill. Hut those' little arches have no connection with the bridge ovei the canal and are entirely separate and distinct from it That bridge cost $33,000 just the masonery without the filling and no better piece of work was ever done. The abutment! are powerfully constructed and everything about the bridge to the minutest detail, was thoroughly done. The structure is now as solid, as the day it was built. I remember the day the centers' were taken out.

Several engineers held levels on it and it did not settle an eighth of an inch." "What plan would you suggest, Mr. Lukesh, lor making the necessary preparation? fo.r the proposed fill oa West Market street?" "In order that the improvement might be made permanent and lasting," no replied, "the entire street from the Valley 'depot to the west side of the aroh "of the waste water -way ought to be-, torn out to its foundations and reconstructed. As I aid before "I believe that neither of those arches is capable of resisting any considerable additional pressure and in order propcriy to make the improvement and there is no use of making it unless it is made properly t(h entire street, between tt'te points I have indicated, ought to be reconstructed. Such an improvement would, of course, cost an immense sum, probably $60,000 for the masonry alone, but it would be cheaper in the end to do the work right, as there would then never be a question about the perfect soundness of the foundation of the street." "You think then that the water yay arches are unsale "No, I don't say- positively that they re unsare, nut t-tiey would be it, without being rebuilt or powerfully strengthened, a big fill was placed over them. They were built snd 40 years ago and were piohably not strong enough in the first place.

The waRto way arch was discovered in 18731 think it was to be Settling and a brick inner arch was built to support it. That brick arch has prevented serious trouble since that time, but the arch is not what it ought to be." City Civil Engineer Parshail was interviewed by a representative" of Th Eeacon to-nay. lie said in substance: "The South wing wall extending from a point 80 feet west of Cinal street to the west side of the arch of the waste water way ought to be taken out or materially strengthened. I never examined the arch of the waste water way until Saturday and while I hesitate to pronounce it unsafe it looks bad. It is bulged out by the pressure about 18 inches and the wing wall shows signs of giving way.

f'The city might purchase enough of the property of S. N. Wilson on which to build buttresses to support the wall, but it is doubtful whether Mr. Wilson would sell, and it is a question whether the property could be condemned. The breaks discovered in the wall may have been there for years, but my judgment is that' they occurred recently.

The appearance of the wall is bad, but it may not be so bad as it looks. I think it would not be advisable to put the proposed fill over that arch without at least strengthening it. The bridge over the canal is all right and indeed needs more weight on it than it IOWA PROHIBITION. Acknowledged, a Gjus Success bt the Citizens p' at State. OorreisondenCtt Tat SkaCwn.

Decorah.I., Sept. 30. As requested I will send you a brief report of my meanderings through- Iowa. On the 18th and 19th inst. I attended the re-union of my old regiment, Ninth Iowa Infantry.

"Hadn't seen any of my com-radesl'or over 24 years. Had a glorious time with the boys in blue as I taught the first public school at Cedar Falls, Iowa. I was regarded with considerable interest, especially by the older citizens, I taught schoofthere 34 years ago. The cordial and friendly greetings I received were wholly unexpected by me. It would take a pretty Dig king to receive as many kind attentions aa were given me.

On account of my relations to Cedar Falls, having been an old citizen, the- first teacher and an old was mode thrice welcome. In order to have done justice to the dinner I was invited to, it would have been necessary to have hired stomach room, I spent a week at Cedar Falls. It now a nice, clean and enterprising city of about 6,000 inhabitants. Prohibition prohibits here, to the grief and sorrow of many a thirsting soul. During the soldiers' reunion, the city was full of people, and yet not one was seen disorderly drunk nor ostentatiously tober, but all was quiet as a marriage feast, and joy was uncon-fined.

The Republicans have the prohibitory law in custody, and enforce it well in most parts of the State. I have now spent three weeks in traveling over tho State, and I have not seen an open saloon. I have talked with many people of all stations in life, and all speak in tbe highest term of the prohibitory law of as show strong Democratic symptoms. The Democracy recently, at their State convention, declared favor of a tax or license law. Wherever I go I meet Ohio men.

At Decora I met quite a number. A. Z. Gileon, Norris Miller, Dr. Parhaman, Windship Sawyer and others from Sum-mit County.

The former was a merchant at Akron 43 years ago. At Maynard I met Dr. Abner Lewis, who practiced medicine about CO yean ago at Greensburg. I find Iowa full of Ohio men and Ohio ideas. Having been absent from the State as a citizen for 29 years, I find a wonderful change.

In mental devel. opment, social progress and a high Btata of civilization Iowa is taking high rank, BROUGHT FROM TORONTO BY PROF. CLATP0LE. i INTERESTING TALK BEFORE THE SCIENTIFIC CLUB RECENT PROGRESS IN l. Prof.

E. W. Claypolo addresse the Akron.Scientific Club Wednesday night, at fiuchtel College. He announced hia topic to be "Echoes from the Toronto Meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science," and the truths he revealed to his auditors will reverberate in their ears for a long The first echo was directed to the physicists. Prof.

Carhart, of Ann Arbor, read a paper summing up the work of Prof. Herzin Germany, and detailing his own researches which conclusively proved i that light and radiant electricity are identical. With radiant electricity he obtained actions identical with light actions and vice versa. the theory of conservation of energy is advanced one step farther and the validity the- prime hypothesis of modern science is much strengthened. The paleontologists were much inter ested in the paper of Prof.

Dawson, of Toronto, in which he announced that he had at last discovered a complete fossil of a certain plant which has not been 1 known to scientists as a whole. Leaves, fruit, stem and branch of the plant have often been found, but always isolated each from each, so that the entire plant could not be restored. This discovery of Prof. Dawson has shown fruit, leaves, branches and stem and the plant entire and has added vastly to our knowledge of fossil flora. The next was of interest to foresters.

It was the report of Prof. Ferneau, Chief of the Forestry Bureau. He showed that the area of American timber land burned and devastated each year is equal to the area of Great Britain and These fearful losses of a very valuable and limited material are quite beyond human pre ventation except by a system of patrols which would be so expensive that no nation could afford to resort to the plan. These fires are largely due to carelessness. Mrs.

Kedzie read a paper on cookery, in which she set forth how food is wasted; not wilfully, but by ignorance of methods of cooking. Food is wasted when it is rendered indigestible by bad cooking. Mrs. Wolcott "joined the discussion of the paper. In passing the professor observed that ladies do excellent work in the Association.

-v, -r Prof. Putnan, of Cambridge, inter, ested the archaeological section by his paper on investigations on the "Serpent Mound" in Adams county. Ohio, By his efforts, aided by Miss Fletcher, of Boston, and scientists all over the country, the mound has been purchased and placed beyond desecration or destruction in trust of the Peabody Museum. He investigated the mound at different points and has been able to determine the manner of its construction. It was built; upon a base of burned clay, the form being indicated to the myriad of workers by a relief plan of the serpent in burned clay.

The mound having been completed was covered with a surface layer of burned earth. Small--portions of the mound have been i restored and this great monument of a mysterious people istiow safe from loss." His studies have proved that the mOund builders were of southern, or Aztec, and not of Asiatic origin. This is determined by the fact that human sacrifice was plainly one of the practices of the builders of the serpent mound. Northern aborigines did not practice this horrid rite but- the Aztecs and the Mexicans did so-even up Ho the advent of Cortez Mexico. The finding of two headless skeleton makes it certain that human sacrifice was practiced.

Other in chief the disproval of the supposition that" the serpent was originally a dragon-shaped structure, links the mound builders to an Aztec, and not to a Northern people. The Professor then desciibed the complimentary excursions to the Mus-fcoka Lakes which the Toronto committee arranged for the scientists, and his visit to Sudbury, the seat of the copper mining operations v. of several Akron gentlemen. The copper deposit, he said, is utterly inexhaustible. At a depth of 500 feet the vein of copper-nickel is as great as at the sur face, and no one knows- to what depth "Che vein reaches.

The metallic tract is eight miles long. The ore contains per cent, of nickel which metal pays for working the ore, the copper being a profitable bye-product. The fuel for the roasting or the ore is TiDtainea in the vicinity from the forests which a recent t. fire has left charred and branchless, only the bare mast-like trunks remaining. It is in.

contemplation to erect furnaces and refineries at Sudbury so that marketable metal may be produced at that point. At present the crude metal is shipped for fining and refining to distant works. It was here that Mr. Sperry discovered the remarkable arsenide of platinum, Sperrylite. fc The Professor then exp2il the Prometheus myth by1 demonstrating the primitive production of lire by friction of hard upon softwood.

He succeeded in making the method very apparent but unfavorable conditions prevented the actual production of a flame. The meeting was to a high degree interest-, ir.g and instructive. -fert-yS Disciples' District Society at Stow.

Carnegie's Plans From Akboh West Developing. Tuesday's Pittsburg Dinpalch editorial. The report that Mr. Andrew Carnegie is about concluding the negotiations which will give him control of a partly completed railroad Irom Akron to Fort Wayne, thus giving the Pittsburg Western a direct connection with Chi- cago, is full of interest to Pittsburg. The report may of course be a new installment of the rumors which have been so abundant concerning Pittsburg's railroad connections; but it has many features which give it weight.

The most salient of these are the rapid growth of the Pittsburg St Western to a prominent position in the competition forPittsburg's freight traffic and Mr. Carnegie's active work in Becuring the advancement of the competing influence. Tbe acquisition of the connection on terms which; will make the Pittsburg Western adirectand solidly capitalized line from Pittsburg to Chicago appears to be a practical and promising measure. One thing may be taken as certain, Pittsburg will never again be without competition for her magnificent freight traffic. Pittsburg Dispatch, Special.

Findlay, Oct. 7. It is reported here to-day that arrangements have been completed whereby Andrew Carnegie will acquire possession of the American Midland Railroad, a line haying headquarters in this city, and in processot construction between Akron, and Fort Wayne, lnd. The road was begun nearly two years ago, under the name of the New York, Mahoning Western, the original intention being to build from Red Bank, to Plymouth, where a connection with Chicago would be made, the Eastern connection at Red Dank being with New York, thus forminar a route from New York to Chicago, 42 miles shorter thau anv now in operation. The management, however, filled in receiving the financial aid expected, and abridged their plans to such an extent as to make Akron the eastern terminus anu i.

Wavne the Western. -i The between this city and Ot tawa, 25 miles west, is completed and in operation, and the grade from Ottawa to Ft. Wayne is ready for the iron. The company, however, is in deep water, and creditors will force a sale of the road within a few days. This condition of affairs is said to have brought about the opportunity Carnegie has long sought, to secure a Chicago connection for the Pittsburg Western, which he is now' operating to Akron.

The American Midland will enable him to do this, and allbrd him at the same tiaie the shortest route available between Pittsburg and Chicago. An agent, who, it is said, represents the Pennsylvania iron king, has been here for several days examining the road and its financial condition with a view of consummating the 'purchase of the property when it goes to sale, which it must do within a short time, as the present management are at the end of their financial rone, and creditors are coming for their money, and the sale of tbe entire line. The American Midland from Akron to Ft. Wayne is about ISO miles, over half of which is graded and 25 miles of which is in oprration. The company have extensive shops in this city, and the general hope is expressed that Carnegie will obtain the road and finish it, as it is without doubt a very valuable property.

C. N. Haskell, the general manager of the Midland, was seen by the Dispatch correspondent to-night regarding tbe Carnegie rumor, and in effect confirmed it, although he was reluctant to permit anv of the details to reach the public for certain reasons which, he said, might affect the sale. From other sources, however," it was learned that the creditors, who are more 'interested in the sale than Haskell, had brought about the sale with Carnegie, and that the arrangements wqre all perfected for the Pennsylvania man to purchase the outstanding claims against the road, force it to a sale, and then buy it in. Further developments are expected tomorrow.

Associated Press Confirms the Carnegie Purchase. Railroad movements relating to Akron are developing rapidly, as readers of The Beacon have heeii fully advised, no other paper pretending to print such an amouut of information about this most important subject. -The latest contribution of this kind, exclusive as has been the custom was the Pittsburg Dispatch report that Andiew Carnegie has acquired possession of the American Midland which has for an Eastern and Ft. Wayne for the end of its Western division, and that work will be pushed on the Midland Road, which is graded within four miles of Ft. Wayne.

This is now accepted by the Associated Press in the following dispatch sent out from its main office "Chicago. Oct. 9. A special from Ft. Wayne, says: A.

A. Purman, vice president for the State of Indiana of the Midland railway, confirms the report of Andrew Carnegie acquiring possession of the road.He has also secured control of the Pittsburg Western railway and the Little Carey Delphos railway, and is negotiating with a newly chartered road called the New York, Fort Wayne Chicago, which is to parallel the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne Chicago from Fort Wayne to Chicago. Thia secures him a line from Pittsburg to Chicago 38 miles shorter than the Pennsylvania, over which he will transfer his coal, coke and iron." A Lively Runaway. From Thursday's Dally Beaeon. A runaway occurred on Main street this morning that chilled the blood of all pedestrians who saw it.

A team belonging to S. Day and driven by an Adam Anderson, became unmanageable while trotting along in front of the Columbia Hall. The horses were soon running at a dashing rate, but the driver kept his position on the seat and held a tight grip on the reins. John J. Bruederlin, an agent of Mr.

Day, was on the wagon with the driver, and on seeing that the animals could not be stopped he carefully crawled to the rear end of the vehicle with the intention of jumping off. He watched the ground and the team anxiously but could not muster courage to jump off. Just south of Pringie's livery stable the vehicle went over a rut, throwing Mr.Bruederlm headlong into the street. He is a man who weighsover 200 pounds and when he struck the ground he rol led over once or twice, but fortunately was not injured. The driver showed a good deal of pluck by clinging to the reins and keeome the team in the middle of the streefc The animals ran in the direc tion of Fountain Park.

No damage was done in rounding the corners and the team was stopped uninjured, in the vicinity of Harry Grey's saloon, Old Forge. In Hamilton a man died a few days ago, who had $500 in money laid up, and a payment of $150 was due to save his home. His widow took the money to buy a line casket, an expensive lot in the cemetery and to hire 25 hacks for the procession, and thus used every dol lar and let ner nome go oy ueinuiu. MILK DEALERS ORGANIZE. They Propose to Protect Themselves Against Non-Paying Customers.

The milk dealers have recently organized a society for self protection. During the Summer they gave a series of dances at Lake Side Park and in order to use the surplus funds derived therefrom they perfected an organization. They have Becured, for a meeting room, the hall over Foltz Frank's new store and will meet the first and last Saturday nights of each month. The object of this meeting is to protect themselves from customers who endeavor to beat them out of their milk bills. There are in the city 135 milk dealers including the depots.

All of these are notas yet members of the organization, but" it is expected that they will become members as soon as possible. They eay there are some people who run "bills and drop off and commence to buy off another dealer. They have so arranged it that a person who quits taking milk from one dealer, owing him a bill, cannot get milk of another. 'Any deales who, after due notice, sells such customer milk, has to make good the bill. This is undoubtedly a step in the right direction, as a man who -has a large milk dairy has a great deal of expense and labor and it is no more than right that they should protectthemselves from such persons.

Some people-may say the make up what they lose by watering the milk. City Milk Inspector Hoy says that the quality of milk being brought into the city is above the average. Where the dealers have a means of protecting themselves from loss they will have no excuse for not furnishing the citizens of Akron with pure milk. The milk dealers'- dances will be continued this Winter. OHIO WELL AT THE FRONT.

Akron at the K. T. Conclave. fifth division was composed of commanderies from Kentucky, and Maine, and was headed by Sir Henry Perkins with Sir C. H.

Fish assistant marshal. Mt. Vernon Comman-dery, of Columbus, O. was in the van, proceeding the Cincinnati commandery, which was in turn followed by the com-mandries from other portions of the State. The Oriental Commandery, of Cleveland, attracted much attention and applause by its fine marching as did also the Hanselmann Commandery, of Cincinnati, the members of which filed by the stand with their heads uncovered and their hats resting on their right shoulders, permitting the white ostrich plumes to flutter the air.

Holyrood Commandery, of Cleveland, made a very fine appearance." Such is the Associated Press report from Washington of yesterday's great parade. "Ohio was at the front in point of numbers and appearance" says the Leader special, and the Plain Dealer dispatch says: "Ohio made an admirable showing in the imposing parade of Knights Templar this afternoon. The 29 commanderies that participated stretched from the Peace monument at the foot of the capitol almost to the treasury building. marched like veterans and received constant applause. When they swept into line before the reviewing stand stood the President and other notables with uncovered heads, cheer after, cheer rent the air, handkerchiefs fluttered from windows and daintily glovedands applauded." The general headquarters of all Ohio Knights is at the splendid' armory of the Washington Light in the lower part of Albaugh's Opera -House, and the Plain Dealer special says: At 6 o'clock this afternoon a promenade concert was given at Ohio headquarters by the Grand Army band of Canton.

This evening Holyrood, Oriental and Akron commanderies bad charge of the reception. Thousands of gas jets reflected the dazzling inscriptions which welcomed the knightly visitors to the headquarters of Ohio commanderies and those Who came were treated with true Buckeye The brilliant uniforms of the knights l- and --the dresses of the ladies presented a scene not soon to be forgotten. The hall was thronged until Robert A. Miller Purchases the Jacob Miller Residence. 'Canton The Miller residence in West Tuscarawas street has been sold.

The purchaser is Robert Miller, general manager of the C. Aultman Co. works, and at present residing ra North Cleveland avenue in a handsome 'property. the papers have not been signed, they will be in a few days. The consideration cannot be learned.

The property- is worth at least 135,000. Not only has the property been sold but it has been reliably learned that Mrs. Ellen Miller, wife of the late Jacob Miller, Superintendent of C. Aultman works at the time of his death, has decided upon taking up her residence in It is not known when she will leave. It is further learned that in this proposed change Mrs.

Miller is following out the resolution of her late husband and herseif made sometime before his death. Indeed, it seems that Mr. Mil ler had his arrangements almost completed for the change of residence at the time of death. The climate there was considered much better for himself and wife. It is more than probable that had he lived until this time he would have had his arrangements for removal completed and had resigned his position when the deal between the works here and those in Akron had been con-sumated.

The time of Mrs. Miller's de parture for Philadelphia, will be announced later. Long Lake Park Company Clears 100 Per Cent, in Two Years. From Tuesday's Dally Beacon. The Long Lake Park held a special meeting in the office of H.

Lowden, a gentle, motherly woman, who has constituted herself guardian; of the railroad and head purveyor of caressing little court esies. She is eccentric on the subject of religion and spends most of her time Binging hymns in a fervent way, not without its genuine tunefulness and in reciting psalms and other passages of scripture with which her mind is richly stored. She is neat and dainty in her dress, quiet and motherly in her manners, and on: all subjects else than religion perfectly rational. The community; accustomed to her peculiarities, have ceased to regard mem as extraordinary or unusual, and Mrs. Lowden is placidly pursuing her humble lifei daily touching a score ot hearts, daily doing a world of good.

Every day, rain or shine, she meets each of the daily trains at the station with a basket of fruit and flowers, from her own garden, and distributes them among the tram attaches. A few days ago, a Beacon representative passed through on his way north and was a witness of the conduct. She was dressed in white it was a balmy day and her gown was perfect in its details of freshness. Her gentle motherly face was softly shaded by a white linen bonnet projecting beyond it. In her" hand she carried a basket from which looked some choice grapes and several bouquets of the sim ple nowers that her own yard attoiaea.

She came forward, smilina; pleasantly at the men, her plain old face lighted with They were- all looking for her. ft was he bright spot of the trip, and they were not insensible to or untouched by it.

In the case of theCity of Akron vs. Albert Allen, executor, Ac, error, recently decided against the city by the Supreme Court of Ohio, the court rendered no opinion on the case, beyond merely affirming the decision ot the Circuit Court. The decision of the latter court was rendered in the latter part of September 1886 and was nothing more than an affirmation of the decision of Judge Lewis of the Common Pleas Court. The case will not be "reported" by the Supreme Court, the judges "havine now. so work to do: that it is impossible for them to prepare a lengthly report of every case they hear.

Concerning the matter the Columbus Dispatch of last evening contains the following, which will be of great interest here as it gives a more distinct idea of the Supreme Court's discussion than has yet been presented: "A suit brought in a 'foreign cburt, and appealed to the Supreme "Court, and which has just been decided by the latter tribunal; is of great local interest. It relates to the manner of making assessments for street improvements, and the outcome is likely to be the disturbance of many assessments made in The title of the case is 'Allen vs. the City of Allen enjoined the collection of an assessment put on some property: which abutted on two streets. In the Circuit Court, to which the case was appealed, he secured a decision in his favor, and the case then went to the Supreme Court, which has decided that where such lots are assessed per foot front for improvements the matter must be subjected to a board of equalization to make an equitable, distribution of the cost. The court declares that a simple assessment per foot front is a violation of a constitutional provision which provides that property shall not- be taken without-due process of law.

The word 'taken' in this connection 13 interpreted to-mean "The question of assessments against the. corner Iots; in this city has never been raised here, it is not believed in this though there are many street assessment cases "The Hamilton avenue case, brought to enjoin the collection of assessments against property along that thorough-face, raised the question of the eon-i stitutionality of the Taylor law. Judge Evans: decision in that case was favorable to the law. Another, important case pending here is one brought by Hon. George M.Parsonsto prevent the collection of money to pay for the East Town etreet' extension improvement.

Mr. Parsons claimed that the Taylor law did not provide for the improvement of a street already improved. The court held against him, and he then raised the question of the applicability of the law to Columbus. No decision has yet betn rendered on this point. These are the main questions that have been raised and passed upon here.

"In the Akron case referred to, the Supreme Court affirmed the decision of the Circuit of Summit County, without prejudice to' a re-distribution by Council of the assessments. In this city, it is said, there are several hundred thousand dollars in assessments interested in this decision, under which it would seem all assessments per foot front against corner lots are liable to readjustment by a board of' equalization. 'In the event that this was done some property owners- would be entitled to a rebate, and others would have to pay more than has been placed against i their premises. The boards of equalization, it is said, would be appointed by the City Council. Many of the property owners of this city, it is stated, have been waiting for some decision that would settlamiatters.

"It is altogether probable that when the decision becomes generally known there will be injunctions without number against the collection of assessments made upon corner lots. The City Council will probably find it necessary to take some action looking to, the adjustment of past assessments" and to avoid future complications." NoahW. Mottingeb Sustains Serious Injuries. About 4:30 o'clock Wednesday afternoon Noah W. Mottinger, of 1071 South Main street, met with a serious accident while at work as a carpenter in the construction of the addition to the Cereal Mills, on South Howard street.

Mr. Mottinger was working on the second 'floor of the building and accidentally fell thrdligh a hole in the floor left open for elevator passage. Just before the fall he was seen by his fellow workman standing by the side of hole looking upward to the floor above. He evidently stepped backward not thinking of his dangerous position and fell backwards through the hole into the floor below, a distance of 14 feet. The hole in this floor was partly covered with planks and the unfortunate man struck the timberssidewise and bounded to the brick floor of the basement below falling on his face.

This made the entire ti itance through i inch, he fell about 25 feet. He, soon regained consciousness and arose to his feet. His face and right shoulder were badly bruised but no in-r ternal or serious injuries were discovered. Dr. J.

V. Cleaves was summoned and gave immediate medical and surgical aid. It was almost miraculous that the man escaped fatal injuries. Refused $60,000 Cash For His Patent.
