Tfiey Forma Society lor Protection Against
Injurers of the Trade.
A delegation of newsboys and bootblacks,
headed by J. W. Becker, a bright youngster
who recently came to this city, and who
was born in Brazil, South America, and
educated onuoard ship, appealed before
Ma or Goodwin last night and asked ier
mission to form a newsboys' and bootblacks'
co-operatit e union for protection and profit
They asked especially that they be pro
tected against monopolists, boys w ho play
hookev from school, those who do not de
pend upon such work for a livelihood, from
the Union Nevts Co., who are alleged to be
trespassing, and from boys w ho are scarcely
out of dresses, who injure the trade. The
mayor granted permission to form tiie or
ganization, and was immensely tickled at
the idea. Accordingly, the lads met
at the depot this morning and formed
an association of seventeen mem
bers, stled the "Newsboys and Boot
blacks Protective Association and Union of
Springfield, Ohio." Officers were elected
as follows: President, J. W. Becker;
treasurer, E. M. Remsberg; presiding
authority. Mayor Jas. P. Goodwin.
A meeting will be held at 7 o'clock this
evening in the vacant lot east of the Arcade,
to complete the organization. A constitu
tion has been adopted and a uniform will be
determined upon to distinguish '-union"
members. A pronounced bocott will be
established against non-union boys.

An Important Derision in the U.S. Court.
IleMtered Yesterday .Imlire huge
Talks Determinedly The Test
of the Court's Order.
The controversy in the Tinted Stales
court lis to the amount of rent to be paid b
the receiier of the I. U. & W. Railroad
company to the C. S. & C. Rathoad com
pany was esterday decided fatorablyto
the C. S. A C. company. In leasing the C.
S. & C. ro.ul the I. B. & W. company took
the section betw een Da ton and Springfield,
thich was already under lease to the C. C.
C. ,t I. company for th!rt-hte per cent, of
the gross earnings. The 1. 15. A W. com
pany were to pay thirty-three and one-third
per cent of the gross earnings. They col
lected the thirty-tit e per cent from the C.
C. C. & I. company, but accounted to the
C. S. & C. company for one-third of the
thirty-hve per cent only, instead cf ac
counting for one-third of the one hundred
ler cent gross earnings reported by the C.
C. C. & I. company.
The C. C. C. V I. company occupied the
section of track In question alone. The 1.
II. A W. company said the thirtj-fitc per
cent constituted the gross earnings as the
came to them, and the were not hound to
pay oterany more than one-third of that
sum. The matter was taken Into court and
judgment obtained by the C. S. A C. com
pany for the difference, am' this judgment
has lately been affirmed in the supreme
court
The judgment, with the rent and interest
which has accrued since the suit was
brought, amoiinttn about $330,000, and was
the cause of the I. B. A W. road being
thrown into the hands of a receiver. The
matter came up for hearing liefore Judges
Jackson and Sage in the United States
court In Cincinnati, on Mop.da,ona mo
tion by the C. S. A C. company to require
the receiver to pay the maximum amount
of rent. The decision was announced by
Judge Jackson, and was as follows:
The court w ill not retain the leased roads
without coiiipling with the requirements of
the lease ill resjiect to the due rents. The
provisional order heretofore made was made
i!l"ii the supposition that they should be
paid by the receiter. This court interrupt
ed the patment b its action in taking pos
session of the property. The reiort of the
receit er show ed that it had been regularly
paid. Ever- presumption is in fatorof the
fact that It would have been pad but for
the action of this court, nnd there was
enough to pay it that pa lueut being ap
plied to the due rents.
The court will make this further order.in
respect to this property that the receiver
pay Into the registry'of this court 33a per
cent of the gross earnings, and will inake!
this further order so that he may keep a
separate account of the earnings of the
property just as is required by thn terms of
the lease in its letter and in its spirit and
as between lessor and lessee; that he shall '
turn Into the registry of this court 33; per
cent f the gross earnings on the basis of
the decree of the supreme court of Ohio,
out of which the minimum and the quarter
ly payments will be now handed over to the
lessor the balance of the proceeds of the I
earnings of this road w ith w hatsoet er is

It Is further ordered that there be paid to
the president of the petitioners out ot the
registry of the court at the end of each

By same Report and resolution accept
ing the proposition or the P. C. A St. L.
railroad company in the matter of right of
way across railway tracks, for considera
tions above s(ecifieL Several residents of
soutli Market street were present, and an
opportunity was given them to speak upon
the matter. The unitersal sentiment was
strongly against council's granting the rail
road company permission to lay another
track across Market street at Jefferson.
Judge John C. Miller was the first speaker.
He said that council could not appreciate
the gravity of the situation w ithout a full
and complete Inspection of the
place. It is a matter of vast Importance to
the residents of that neighborhood, and
council should act justly in the premises.
Individuals were exposed to danger and
death daily at this point, he himself having
had three narrow escapes without any con
tributory negligence on his part Originally
the P. C. A St. L. company was granted
permission to run two tracks only along
Jefferson street to their deiKit gronnds,
which the city itself donated. Since that
time the company has laid track after track
until It has converted the public street
into a labyrinthine railroad yard. It
Is not generally known, but It is true.
that the property o v ners along that street
had to thro.v out their own private grounds
to form a pissig? way. Jerome Fassler,
Dr. Clokcy and Dr. Ramsjy gave up part of
their land for a passage-way besides the
tracks. This bargain with the city is to "re
uioille and rearrange" the tracks; in other
words to legalize what the company has
stolen in times past The judge closed by
asking council to visit and inspect the site
in a body.
Dr. Dunlap urged similar points. He
stated that since the Limestone street cross
ings had become so dangerous, travel on
Market street had increased lift pit
cent
Mr. Netts moved to refrr the resolution

Tliey Uecjfril Themselves Nnnbbetl. I
As repprted in full in the proceedings of ,
the citjOcouncil, published in another col- J
umu, several prominent resuieuis oi souiu
Market street made a vigorous kick last
night against the P. C. A St I- railroad
putting another track across Market street
at Jefferson. Judge Miller, Dr. A. Dunlap.
Dr. Seys, Dr. Caspar, Will Hamilton, Dr.
Bryant D. P. Jefferies. and
others residents of that neigh
borhood, were present, and the tw o first
mentioned made vigorous speeches, for the j
nature of which the reader is referred to the
council report. After It was all over coun-'
cil passed the resolution for the additional
track by a tote of 10 to 2. i
The south Market-strecters are most bit
ter in their denunciation of the action of
council, esjiecially for not at least waiting a
w eek, as the supplicants requested, to In
testigate the case by a t isit to the spot.
Judge Miller was openlydisgusteil. He said
this morning, "It was the most deliberate
snub I ever saw." ,
Almost a Futal Wreek on tlio fan Handle
at Trliaiia.
A wreck occurred on the Pan Hand
road at this point Monday afternoon, says
the Urbana Citizen, in whicli it was almost
a miracle that somebody was not killed.
Passenger train No. C, due here at 10:20.
w as about four hours late. At 2 o'clock it
came thundering in at a rapid sjieed, and
when near the glue factory the engine and
seteral cars jumped the track. The train
was going at such a rapid speed that it was!
some little time before the engineer could '
stop the train. The engine and cars went ,
plowing over the ground for about two
hundred yards before It could be stopped.1
It was miraculous that liobiHly was Injured
aside from a general shaking up. The
sleeping coach and one car were so badly
damage.! that they had to be left at tins
point A wrecking train went out, and in
about two hours the track was clear and the
trains tt ent on.
