County School Commissioner will be au
thorized and required to pay over to the
mayor and council for the use of free

of the common school surd arising from
any source belonging to said town to be
by them ixpended in the establishment
and maintenance of said free schools as
authorized and directed by the consticu
tion and laws of the state.
SKIPPED HIS BOARD BILL.
A Slick Rascal Heats Mr. Cunyos Out of a
Week’s Board.
Several days' ago a well dressed man
calling himself Brown, arrived in the
city and put up at the boarding house of
Mr. W. D. Cunyus on Second avenue.
He was selling name platea for buggies
and claimed to be representing the
Wadsworth Engraving Co, of Spring
field, O.
He remained in the city for about five
days and made a great many sales, and
among his purchasers were R. H. Jones
& Sons, carriage manufacturers. On the
day before his mysterious departure Mr.
Cunyus asked him for bis board and he
replied that he did not have any money
Just then but was expecting some from
his house the next day. The next morn
ing when Mr. Cunyus went up to the
man’s room to wake him up he found
that ho had gotten all his baggage out
and skipptd.
Seveial drys after that Mr. Cunyus re
ceived a letter from him in which he
stated that he regretted having to leaving
go suddenly, but he had received a tele
gram from his wife calling him home im
mediately. Mr. Cunyus seems to think
that he might have taken time to have bid
him goodbye, or even left him a small
look of his hair.
But, since his departure the tables have
turned on him which show him up to be
a “slick duck’’ going under an assumed
name.
Mr. R. L. Williams, of the R. H. Jones
A Sous Manufacturing Company, re
ceived a postal card from the Wads
worth Engraving Company several days
ago acknowedging the receipt of bis or
der for a lot of name plates through their
representative, Mr. “Sequard.”
Mr. Cunyus says that he is under the
impression that the man is a regular
sharper.

A CENTRAL MARKET.
A Good Suggestion by a Prom
inent Roman.
THE PLAN WORKS WELL.
It Has Proven Successful in
Other Cities-The Plan
Fully Explained.
A gentleman in conversation with a
Tribunk reporter Tu mday sad:
“If R >me wishes to putanothi r feather
in her cap and assume • little more of
city airs, let her build a central meat,
market house and have all the maiketa
central at one point.’’
The idea is a good one. In the city
there are now about one d< zun markets
where beef, pork and all kinds of fresh
meats are sold, and they are scattered
in different parts of the city. The city
could build a house commodious enough
on the street from Notion’s corner up
towards the city ball, and rent the stall*
to parties wishing to engage in the busi
ness, which would soon pay back the
money expended in erected the building.
Ic should be n quired also tba' all maik
et wagons bringing in produce for Bile,
come to this matket house and remain
until 9 a. m. before going abroad over the
city to sell their produce.
Having the n eat markets thus cen
tered, the city physician er gome othei
competent man, should be riqaired to
examine the meats to ascertain if p >ssi
ble whether or notit contained trichinae
As was announced in Sunday’s Tut
BUNK, the city physician just last week
discovered a large quantity of these in
sects in a bog that had been sold to a
butcher in this city. Os course the city
physician or examiner of meats does uoi
wish to be running all over town to per
form his du’y in this regird, but if cen
tered atone poiutai abivj surges ed, he
could very conveniently perform this
duty, and no doubt every well regulated
citizen would heartily acquiesce in meh
action as the ci'y council in gbt take 4 u
this direction, lonki'gas it would, to
the health and safety of every family ol
the city.
WAR TO THE KNIFE.
Tho General Klectric and Professor Thom
son Going into it Kight*
i Lynn, Mass.,iJan. 30.-Professor Elihn
Thompson, the inventor and main reli
ance of the Thoinson-Hov.ston company
in defending its patents, has declared
war upon the General Electric company,
and according to his associates, is to be
a number of the otiginal Thonison-
Honsjon people to try to secure the big
West Lynn plant for a new corporation
which will matiui'acture under his
patents.
It is understood that Professor Thomson
declares he never sold his are lamp to
the General Electric people, and he
claims to have another incandescent
lamp which will drive the one now man
ufactured by the General Electnct out
of the market.
Soon after the consoldation the Thom
son-Houston people claimed the Edison
people had misrepresented their assets,
and they brought suits iu this state, un
der various pretexts, to discover whether
it were nossible to divorce the original
j nonison noiislon irnut tue vreuerai
Electric. They did not find a legal way
to do this and determined to start anew
followed. John Pevear, a local capi
talist, is mentioned as the probable pres
ident of the new corporation.
The original contract made with the
General Electric made it obligatory on
Professor Thomson to offer ail of his
inventions to that company first, but it
appears that the company has not kept
its part of the contract and that the pro
fessor prefers cash to promises. This is
why he has not prepared to follow the
caravan to Schenectady, ami this is the
reason why, he says, he “will make them
■sick.”
The factories of the General Electric
here will close Feb. 1 for uu inventory,
but it is not believed they will open
again as announced. Eighten months
ago there were nearly 4,000 persons em
ployed at the West Lynn plant, but now
only 500.
The Thomson program is war to the
knife on the old concern, and no alliance,
friendiy or otherwise, with any other
corporation.
It Is Stoke* Versus Stoke*.
New York, Jan. 30.—Edward S.
Stokes is very angry over the appoint
ment of his cousin, W. E. D. Stokes, a*
commissioner to Antwerp, and tele
graphed President Cleveland that his ap
pointee was under indictment for libel, a
criminal offense. He said: “I think th®
friends of W. E. D. Stokes have de
ceived the president. I have written to
him explaining the case and th® natur®
of the indictment, and stated that I
would forward to Washington a tran
script of the charge. With these fact®
before the president he will probably
withdraw the appointment” Mr. Stokes
added that be thought W. E. D. Stokes
would have to stand trial despite th®
efforts en the part of his friends to side
track the indictment.
FAI R’S ’ hTdI ng’ PLACE.
Death Revealed How He Had Eluded the
Law.
Milledgkvili.b, Ga., Jan. 80.—The
announcement of the death of Mr.
Thomas Fair was quite a surprise, and
everyone was asking the question,
“Where did he come from?” On Aug.
15, 1874, Mr. Fair became involved in a
dispute with Mr. Oliver Ellison, which
resulted in the death of the latter, and
since that day there has been nn indict
ment for murder hanging over him. Mr.
Ellison’s relatives have been endeavoring
to locate his hiding place. Futile would
be the effort to picture their surprise
wjjen it was learned that he had been
right in the heart of Milledgeville for 13
years, without allowing the citizens of
this place, except his immediate family,
ever to see him.
Mr. Fair served In the civil war in th®
Ninth r sort ro Silt a»4 bnra ta tha ora*-
I scars received in defense of th® louta.
He was buried in the cemetery here.
Ellison was killed 20 years ago in the
southwestern portion of the city. Fair
was jealous of Ellison, and stabbed him
about a woman. Ellison started to re
turn to the business portion of the city,
but fell in the street, where he was
found and carried to his house. He was
dead in a. few hours. Fair, nnwilling
to cause his family grief which his trial
would bring on them, immediately left
for parts unknown. Every effort was
made to locate him. but to no avail. His
whereabouts since that time have been
unknown. It is said he went to a swamp
near this city, where he spent seven
years, but returned to this city about 13
years ago. Since which time he has
been hiding in the home of his brothers,
very near the heart of the city.

LAW AND’"ORDER“LEAGUE.,
The Jacksonville Fight Will Go Through
the Courts.
Jacksonville, Fla., Jan. 30.—The
Law and Order league has resolved to
make it lively for the principals and the
aiders and abettors in the Corbett-Mitch
ell prize fight. Rev. W. N. Connolly,
local agent of the league, called on the
Southern Associated Press correspond
ent and asked that the following state
ment be made:
“In the matter of the prize fight, we
hold that the injunction granted by
Judge Call was an evasion of prescribed
statutes, and if the state authorit.es
don’t very soon bring the matter up for
review in the supreme court, the league
will do so. I have heard that the gov
ernor has instructed the attorney general
to follow this line of action."
“What provisions have been made to
prosecute this matter'; 1 "
“The international league has placed
ample funds at the disposal of its local
agents for this purpose, and has given
instructions for the suit to be pushed
forward at the first sign of weakening
on the part of the state. The league is
determined that such an exhibition as
took place in this city Thursday shall
not be repeated tn the country if means
can be found to prevent it. It was call
ed a glove contest,’ but Mitchell was
rendered entirely unconscious from tho
terrific force of a blow, and that it
would end in this manner in favor of
one or the other of the fighters was fu.ly
foreseen, as I understand that a ‘fin.ah
fight’ means a fight until one of the i. m
is unable to respond when the time is
called,”
