Hy (Tnitetl Press, "While Rayne Township was not inspected as a district, the inspectors feel that there is rea.son to complain of the Marion road, bt > au « 01 me great number of unprotected breakers and other bad conditions. The stones have been picked off, but the 'road is still in anything but good order." n "In both West and South Mahoning townships the roads w re found to be in very line order, and the inspectors feel that the supervisors in those districts should be congratulated on the ' tllcient work which hey have done. "In lOast 'Mahoning, from which great things were expected, th. Inspect »rs met with gr at disappointment, and have had to confess that the I'unxsutawiiey .Spirit was Justified in its recent scoring of the officials of that district for the poor conditions. "Thr inspectors found much to condrmn in North Mahoning. In the vicinity of Oovodr «they found th< main road in very bad condition In places where some work at picking off the loost stones had been done, th stones were simply dumped into the gu'ttrr where they will .surely cause trouble in the future. Thr inspectors found that Constable Shields had not over-staled the bad condition of thr roads whrn hr made his report to court, and felt that conditions therr will -warrant further Investigation. Yesterday'.* Indiana Gazette has the following to say: During the past we• k thr inspectors for the Indiana County Automobile Association inspected the roads in four townships, the four Mahonlngs. In North and Kast Mahoning they found much that was not right, while In the South and WYst Mahonings the roads wrrr found to be in • \c. 1- lent shape.

The paving of Cherry Street, at thfoot of the 111 1.1, was tli• • 11 discussed, it seems that one of the property-owners is unwilling to sign the petition, so Council instructed Hit- Borough Solicitor to draw up an agreement with the property-owners who are willing, and decided to-pave only I 'D feet of the street, which would bring it to the edge of the unwilling owner's The Union Street proposition was the first brought before the meeting, a petition with a clause releasing the borough from all liability to damages being received from more than two-thirds of the property owners along that street. There was no quesion as to the desirability of having the street paved, but some of .the Couneilmen thought that the two churches on Union Street should sign the petition, as otherwise they could not he iforced to pay for their share of the paving, according to a recent ruling by Judge Reed. (However, the miotion, made by Simpson and Downey, was finally passed. It was moved that the Episcopal Guild allowed to have the use of a room in the Municipal building f«»r rehearsals for an entertainment, providing they pay -the janitor for any extra work entailed. Korough Solicitor OlUe.sple then re-' ported that Mrs. 1311a Loney, of 'South Side, had plaeed a hydrant in one of two intersecting alleys at her property. and that Street Commissioner Displel, Instructed'-by tin* Solicitor and by the .Street and A ley Committee, removed the hydrant. Mrs. Loney then fenced up one of the alleys, and put up the trespass signs. Acting again under Mr. Distel, in company with John North, removed the fence and signs. Mrs. Noll, one of the property owners, and a daughter of 'Mrs. Loney, came out at Dlstcl with a small shovel, and ; the result of the mixup wis the arrest! of Distel for assault and battery, profanity, and trespass, and the arrest of (North for trespass. These cases, , he reported, were threshed out be- j fore 'Squire Means last week. Mr. Means acquitted the defendants on j the trespass charges, lined Mr. Distel.j r.T cents and costs amounting to about j $4.0'0, for swearing one oath, and held him for court on the assault and , battery charge. On the testimony of John North and of Mr. Dlstel, Council instructed Borough Solicitor Gillespie to appeal the profanity case. Council decided to appeal on the 'for defense, . but not one cent for tribute" theory. The "petition of the WYst Knd people for a hose cart and hose occupied considerable tim«». It was decjded some time ago to lot them have one hose reel with hose, but John Downey said that when he came to get it Fire Thief Jordan refused to let him have it. After much wrangling the affair proved to be a misunderstanding between Downey and Jordan as to which cart was- to be taken, and the matter was settled. A bill of $>125 for the life-saving not recently demonstrated, was presented. Council instructed -the Clerk to Inform the life-savin# company that the net had not been brought at the instigation of Council, but that they considered the net worth $80 to them. Tf this offer should not prove satisfactory to the company, it Ik to take the net batik. The meeting was then adjourned to inert at the call of the President, when other paving petitions are ready to be heard. "Councilmen Curry, Weaver, Williams and Heekendorn were absent.

HlDOWiAY, Sept. 9.—The railroad, claimed another victim Thursday morning when the remains of an unknown negro, who had .evidently been traveling with Hang's \ circus, which passed through here Tuesday night, were found *by a B., It. & J1, train 'crew about five o'clock. The body was horribly mangled, and it was not difficult to fcurmise that death had resulted when the wheels of the cars had passed over It. was Impossible to Identify the remains and they were rumoved to Waimey's Undertaking establishment. The committee members looked their Mnuement and finally, af- "Senator Lorlmer Is a member of the club." he was told, "and he has accepted an Invltatldn to the dinner." "Then I must decline to go," said Colonel Roosevelt, adding that he would feel the same about the presence of Senator Lorimer as he would about sitting down with members of the Illinois Legislature who are under Indictment In the graft Investigation. "How about Senator tiorlmer?" "Yes." Mr. Batten replied, "he has accepted the Invitation." The occurrence startled politicians here and over the State. The unprecedented demand that theHttmllton Club deny to one of Its own members the privilege of attending the banquet came with characteristic abruptness from Colonel Roosevelt. The Hamilton Club delegation, headed by former Judge John H. Batten, joined Mr. Roosevelt at the" fair grounds In Freeport, 111., shortly after noon. The Colonel shook' hands heartily with each member of the delegation and at once began questioning them Concerning the banquet. "is Speaker Cannon to be there?" he. asked. CHUCAOO, Sept. 9. — Theodore Roosevelt yesterday barred Senator William Lorlmer from the Hamilton Club banquet at the Congress Hotel, .by refusing to .sit at the same table.. The program of the event has for days announced that Senator L#orimer and others would sit at the speakers' table with Colonel Roosevelt.

This year there are twenty eighth grade pupils in the West End and something like.sixty in thi' East End. The board at Its August metting decided that as a matter of fairness to tile West End. pupils, an eighth grade should be established in the West End. In order to more equally divide Ithe attendance of the two eighth grades, a dividing line was fixed, the board declaring that all those living west of Ollplu street shoulll attend "in West End, while all those living cast should be enrolled at the Jefferson Street school, compelling about ten or fifteen third an'd fourth ward boys and girls to go to West End. A little explanation will make the Tact clear that the school board Is doing lis beet to be fair and that he third and fourth ward parents have absolutely no kick coming whatsoever. A few citizens of the third and fourth wards whose children are this year attending the eighth grade of the public schools, arc censuring the school board for compelling their children to attend in the West End.
