PLATTSMOUTn SOU-WEEKLY JOURNAL. MONDAY, AL'filJST 7, IDKh PARE 2. NEW DEPOT FOR ELMVVOOD IN SIGHT From Friday's Daily. Last Friday a committee of the commercial club composed of L. F. Langhorst. C. S. Stone, L. W. Keeiger and Or. O. E. Litton, attending the hearing last Friday with reference to the erection of the new Missouri I'aci lie depot, at Elmwuod, they brought hack the report that we would have a depot now within the next sixty days. Uhiv.vood. through this committee had" asked for certain things to be .-necified in connection with the new building and have been successful in a large decree in getting the class of ,Vp,.t lure that we should have. While we did not get all that was :.sk.-d for we can rest assured that the P.. II. company is giving us as fair a deal as is possible to do under their i aVs and regulations. It was a busy clay for the Commis sioners, as the Crete branch proposi tion of tlie Mi-souri Pacific was in 1 earing that afternoon. .-v the Elm- d depot proposition was submitted p.rst and disposed of in a short time. The greatest dithculty, perhaps, was ii. t!.- fact that Commissioner Hall had gore into the technicalities of the . ;e and he and the superintendent of L.iiidir.gs fir the Missouri Pacific v. ere in heated am! lively argument on several points. As Hall seemed to have absolute authority in the mat ter, it is foariunate that 'they came to a satisfactory agree mc-nt as, ether v. i e. if tiie matter had gone to the court :":- decision it might have been j;:oi;th.s before Elmwood woulil have ..:teu her depot. The new depot, as i ev designed is commodious and will J'ave -ome improvements and ad van tages over the old one that will make it more convenient to the traveling pno'iic. The freight and express de partments will be much larger and n oie suitable for storing goods. Ti e J -.ople have been anxious and have been wond-ring when we would uet the r.er.v depot. Now that the natter is settled no doubt in a few days the material will be on hand and v. "knicn will be on the job. Leader- FINED FOR EXCEEDING THE AUTO SPEED LIMIT From Saturday's Dally. This moining the question of speed ing or not speeding en Chicago avc i"ie was threshed, out in the court of . udge Aichcr and every pha.-e of the alter in which John Ihiuei, jr.. and D. I". Wiles. o;u- ef the rc-ideids south the city, v.c:v ir.teroted as they v i-2 e aecussed of having exceeded the n ed limit on ties th'.r-'i'ghfa'.e la-t iviniiiir. Lo:h Mr. . Wiles and Mr. Lauer contended that they v.'cne not xiei.Lir.g the speed limit that they had hem toid by the city authorities was all right, but acknowledge that they were traveling at a rate of speed io exce-s of that perseribed by the state law, that of twelve miles per 1 orr o:i streets and six miles an hour er cro-sings an 1 intersections.

The judge after considering the matter decided that the state law o'MTol the c;i-c in question and while i.o complaint had bem filed, but won1. have been in a few hours, Mr. P; nor and Mr. Wiles but paid their 4'i'.es an.ountiivr to S'2 each.
