Tne purchase of the property was made necessary by the growth of the citizens National bank which, although one of the youngest banking Institutions of the city, has exhibited growing qualities which demanded just such a location as the newly acquired property will furnish.

The satisfactory growth and condition of the bank has caused Its directors to decide upon a of enlargement and expansion which will place the Citizens National bank In the front rank of Ohio flnanciul institutions and make it the largest and strongest in this section. The plan involved the acquirement of new and larger quarters and on the property Just purchased It Is the Intention of the hank to erect ths' finest banking building in this section of thej state. Ihe only thing definitely set-1 tied concerning the structure which! will replace the familiar church build-1 Ing on this corner is that no expense will be spared to make the building an Impressive bank and office building which may set a new standard for East Liverpool and one that will not fall to reflect credit on the city. The buihiing now occupied by the bank la practically now and one of the best In the city and the fact that the hank is forced to seek more conimo- dious quarters Is ample evidence of the rapid growth It has experienced.

INJONCTION IN ROAD CASE Lisbon, March Hole passed opinions in two cases In common pleas court yesterday afternoon. The case of Bert Gregory vs, E. O. Wliltacre, the E. H.

Riggs company, B. F. Hinton et was submitted In June last year and was retained under advisement by the court to permit the attorneys to file briefs In accordance with their expresseil wish. No briefs having been filed, however, the case was argued on the first day of the piesent term. The suit was brought to foreclose a lein on a fund alleged to be in the hands of Whitacre and owing Samuel Cole, a contractor, the plaintiff asking judgment for 181.84 with interest from August 21, 1903.

The plaintiff as a sub-contractor had supplied stone to Cole for a retaining wall that Contractor Cole hullt for Whitacre in Wellsvllle and the court held that the money in hands is subject to the satisfaction of lien, although the defendant Whitacre filed an answer and cross petition alleging that the work was not properly done and asking The remaining defendants were made par ties at the instigation of Whitacre as having also filed claims against the amount owing Contractor Cole and their cross petitions were dismissed, to which the Riggs company excepted. The court held that from ail the testimony It ajpeared that Cole had fulfilled his with Whitacre. In the ease of Annie Carroll vs, Clark Halverstadt, a perpetual Injunction was allowed restraining the defendant from permanently obstructing a private roadway leading from the plaintiff's farm across his farm to the public road. Both farms are in Salem township. The case involved an interesting question as to whether a right of way may be sutistituted by I an agreement or act Indicating an agreement between the parties for another right of way to winch a prescriptive right has been established.

Predecessors in the ownership of the Carroll farm had ceased to use a private right of way to hich a prescriptive right had been acquired, across the servient estate when part of one of the farms was sold number of years ago and the occutiaiHs of the Carroll larni at once commenced to use another right of way diagonally through a wood of the farm. This road had been used five years when the owner of the servient late closed it preparatory to Ing the tract that had been woodland and opened a more direct route which the occupants of the Carroll farm com nienced to use. This new mad had been In use by them 12 years when the defendant Halverstadt undertook tc prohibit them from using it any longer and obstructed It with a fence The Injunction forbidding the placing of such permanent obstructions leaves the roadway subject to such gates as may be necessary to sepaiate the fields through which it passes. Notice of appeal was given and bond was fixed at 1300. MONEY SOON AVAffABlE EAST LIVERPOOL CANTON GAME Arrangements For the Proposed Basket Ball Contest Are Still Hanging Fire.

The efforts of the local basket ball management to secure another game with Canton have accomplished little so far as another meeting between the teams at Cleveland is concerned The only Information received in an swer challenge issued by the Last Liverpool team Is that Canton declines to meet either at Cleveland or on the local floor.

East Idverpool is anxious for the meeting and while discussing the matter this morning an official of the local team stated that the home team would wi! lingly play a series of games on the Canton floor, provided that a cage Is placed on that floor to prevent out slders and policemen butting Into the game whenever Bast Uverpool begins to look like a winner.

railroad. The superintendent had informed by the Iwiard that council an annual rental of $600 for the now occupied by the company in his letter Supt. Hamitloii says that the tracks are only on property between l.roadway and Sugar alley. The letter Is as follows: "Hon J. N.

Taylor, Board of Public Senlre. ICast Liverpool, C). Dear the meeting of your board held at East Liverimol some time ago, at which I was present, you stated that the cuiiticil had hiKtructed that the C. P. railroad pay a rental of $000 per annum for the belonging to the city which is used by this company.

several occupations of city property by the railroml were Indicated in a copy of the East idverpoul Tribune dated December 27. 1905. After careful examination of our records, relating to this subject, it would appear there Is no occupation of city property without proper right, except in the ase of the team ks. which are located on the so-eailed public landing. Broadway and Sugar alley.

These tracks were laid origluully with the consent of the proper city officials. The passed in February, 1904, obligated this company to remove the team tracks from the public landing ujxm receipt of notice from the council. Such a notice was received! some time ago, and it has not been compIbHi with promptly simply because It would work a good deal of hardship on the shipping concerns located in the vicinity of that track. "The recent action of the council In- dlcates (hot It is the desire that this company pay a rental of $600 per annum for all of the several encroachments enumerated in the proceedings of the meeting before mentioned, should like to ask If the city will not let this matter stand as It now is. We do not feel that this rental When the communication from conn- was read at the nnmting ef the board of public service last evening demanding ibat the work of laying a new Ifi-lneh water main from Brtiad- way to the reservoir be delayed until the East Traction IJght company ffiies its excavating on East Fifth strvHd and Pennsylvania avenue.

Hupt. Morley antiouticed that be could not do the work at a saving fur the city. He further stated that he would not attempt the work umfer such conditions. Bupt. Morley argued that if he had to work on the two naiiuMl thoroughfares with them torn up that he would be put to a greater expense than ordinarily and he would not do it.

He says the sex tlons of pljm to be laid i weigh 1,500 ixmnds and are set by means of a derrick. He says tlie derricks could not be used with safety on the loose ground. There would be great danger of their slipping and great danger of the pipes being broken. His argument was accepted by the iKiard and also by Mr. Bullock, the only councilman present.

It was In the ordinance requiring the superintendent to do the work In that way and he wilt start the contract just as soon the ordinance publlshiMl. Council made a motion at the last meeting that the fmard of public service wait until the excavation ilone. The motion was made as an economical step, the council believing that if the street car company would the excavating It would save considerable money, because the siiperin- tendent of the wafer works will have to do considerable excavating before the line can be laid. It is thought that council will the mistake and that there will be no trouble over the matter. Sfmckbein, representing the A.

He offered the machine for I49U so the board could buy It without advertising. The machine is used by (he water works department whenever there Is a connection to be made.

The actual expense involved in cuirylng out the provisions of that ordinance would approximate all of which was done to secure permission to lay main track aerosa streets, and which the railroad com WOMAN DEAD FROM BURNS Continued on Fifth Page. RAMSEY TO BUILD RAffROADS IN OHIO THREE MEN DROWNED AT MIN(H) A STEAMER STRIKING A SKIFF Steubenville, March Three men lost their lives in the Ohio river at a point near Mingo today and fourth miraculously escaped after sustaining probably fatal Injuries by being partially drowned and buffeted by the Ice. The accident was the result of heavy waves created by the steamer Virginia as It passed down the river.

The dead: JOSEPH 2ER8E, or Saibe, agent of the Belmont Brewery. GREGORY MAUL, a well to do baker of Mingo. GEBHARDT SPRINGER, a bricklayer employed at the aieel works. fourth man, who was fortunate enough to reach the shore, was George Visnich, a Mingo saloonkeeper, but as the physicians attending him are unable to say that he will survive his injuries. The men were seated In a row boat near iho Ohio pier of the Wabash bridge when the Virginia passed.

The waviis soon set the small boat to rocking, and becoming alarmed, the men lost their beads and stood up in the tioat. This action oauseil the Imat to capsize and the four men were precipitated into the river. The throe men who were drowned became cn- tangU-d in the meshes of a fish net and wore drowned like rats in a trap. Visnich was more fortunate than his comrades and struck out at once for the shore. He battled bravely against the tide and floating Ice and succeeded In reaching the shore.

He then staggered to his feet and hastened to his saloon as fast as bis weakened condition would permit. Arriving there he gave a disconnected account of the accident and the fate of his companions and then dropped to the floor exhausted. It appears that his story was not at first credited, hut when he recovered he repeated it with such emphasis to convince hearers of its truth and they to the scene, where tho dead bodies were found as related by Vlsnlch. Visnich is now in a dangerous condition, but may recover. Formsr President of the Wabash Organizes An Independent Lake and River Line.
