This being one of the first meetings held
not a great many were In attendance , but
notwithstanding the small crowd , a geol pot-
ton of which was composed of councIlmen
and ox-councilmen , rather n lIvely meeting
was held
Councilman Back occupied the chair , and
called for a full discussion on the proposed
Improvements wll h his constituents desired
should be made In list part of the city.
Ernest Stuht mildly took Counelman : Got-
don to task for not declaring himself on the
Sherman a"C ie ptvlng contract , which was
let last \ veek. 11 Gordon , In reply to Mr.
Stuht , stated that he hal favored the post

lie also stated the contract and bids had not
been suImltcd to the seven npw members

It poor polIcy for the councilmen of time First

experience concerning the cty : hal foundation
deal and how time asphalt repairing contract

placed by another before I reached the mayor
for his slsnature.
The real business of the evening and the
object of the meetng was not fully understood -
stood until Isaac Inscal got the members In
working order , lie stated that It was the ,
desire of the 1 lrt ward people thlt the
street car service In the south end of the
ely should be improved olHI that the Street
ear company should extend Its linen south on
Sixth , Tenth and Thirteenth streets to itiver-
view park , mind the tracks on Beventh Street
be taken up and the viaduct repaired , 10 be
used only for vehicle travel making Eleventh

without any damage to anyone on that

efforts In getting the sewerage sYltem extended -

nothing but IJre water would be contained

The pstofco authorities at Cleveland , 0. ,
have causc the arrest of Elijah Robinson ,
editor ot the Ladles' Monthly Gem , on the
charge of using the malls to defraud .
Robinson conducted / masked lottery In
connection wIth his paper. "Gold" watches
were offered as prizes for solutions of riddles
and puzzles , but the winners were requestel
to pay various BUlS before the watches were
delivered . The evIdence collected by Postal
Inspector Fleming lells him to believe that
the swindle Is one of the los1 stupendous ,
daring Indertaldnrs ever brought before his
notice . RobInson's express rectlpl book ,
which he Hcurel , showed 38 entries representing .
