A FLAG OF TRUCE.
As the Light goes to press it is learned
that the railroad obstructionists have
pulled down their opposition. The right-
of-way has been determined upon the
shot guns have been unloaded the big
dogs have been chained the Dignowity
family have donated right-of-way
through all their property that dirty
stink-hole on Dawson street will not be
disturbed. Banker Lockwood is now
willing to lend financial aid and the na-
bobs have come to the conclusion not to
further oppose the clamor of the idle
workingmen for bread. All that now re-
mains to be done is for our mayor to call
his council together and ratify by their
votes the settlement made and the dirt
will soon fly and the old town will start
once more on the road of “Progress and
Prosperity.”
hoorayThooray!
THE GULF SHORE RAILROAD IS
OURS.
The Committee Have Reported a
Favorable Route—AU Objec-
tions Withdrawn.
The committee returned!
They were met on the ground by a large
delegation of the pros and cons and took
their time in going over several routes
that seemed available!
They selected the most feasible route
and 1:30 o’clock came back with their
mission fully accomplished.
The Gulf Shore road will be built.
The two committees are satisfied as
they have officially informed the Light.
Toe committees have decided to meet
again Monday morning next at 10 o'clock.
In the mayor’s office and so report to that
official and he has agreed to call a special
meeting of the council at a moment’s no-
tice to ratify their agreement.
Everything is now in a fair way toward
an amicable settlement of all the dif-
ferences.
The engineer for the road and engineer
for the city will be present next Monday
with their reports and full data of the
most available routes.
The most feasible route as agreed upon
this morning will be tbe following:
The road to enter the city on North
Centre streetbetween the two cemeteries
and thence from Centre street into North
Cherry street and across Dawson and
Nolan streets to the company’s property
block 20.
The Dignowity family have offered
right of way through all of their property
on this route and the objections
of Messrs. Ogden Lockwood and others
have been withdrawn.
Therefore there will be no need of the
mass meeting called for tonight or Mili-
tary plaza and Capt. Davis will be present
to disband the meeting or perhaps and
this is a better suggestion to convert it
into a ratification of the action of the
committee.
Gov. Waite on Wolcott.
Denver Colo. April 28.—“ Mr.
Wolcott is incapable of taking a
statesman-like view on any ques-
tion” said Governor Waite today
referring to the Senator’s speech
against Senator Allen’s Coxey reso-
lution. He is in the United States
Senate the paid attorney of a
a railroad corporation to look out
for railway interests which are
largely concerned in the Common-
weal army.
There Was no Fourth Share.
An honest mistake was that of
a colored gentleman in the south
whose former master had allowed
him the use of a piece of ground
on condition that he the owner
should receive one-fourth of the
crop.
When the corn was ripe the
owner hauled three loads to his
own house and none to that of the
white man. Then he went innocent-
ly up to the great house to return
the landlord’s wagon which he
had usedin the hauling.
“Well Frank” said the gentle-
man “where’s my share of the
corn?”
“You ain’t got none sah” was
the reply.
“Haven’t you any? Why wasn’t
I to have a fourth of all you
raised?”
“Yes sah; but dey wa’n’t no
fourth. Dere wa’n’t but jes’ my
three loads.”

ment to disrupt the K. of L.

R. Buchanan of New York and
read in part as follows: “I have
secured the co-operation of trusted
men to bring together in one
grand column the labor forces of
America. We desire you to
join with other representatives of
labor in a conference for the pur-
pose of making the preliminary ar-
rangements to effect the unity of
labor on a common ground. The
conference will be held in Phila-
delphia Saturday April 28; the

championship. The “Rosebud’s
friends were disinclined recently
to back him for such amount on the
strength of having knocked out
Dixon by what the latter claims
to have been a chance blow and in-
sisted that he go against some
other man of championship qual-
ity as a further test of his punch-
ing skill. Another event of inter-
est will be the bout between Owen

serious one.
