WEST SIDE STREET RALRoAD.-Last
night in the City Council an amendment to
the ordinance with regard to the West Side
Street Railroad was introduced, allowing the
company to start their road at the intersee-
ton of Superior aud Seneca streets, running
down Seneca to Champlain and down Cham
plain to Center street, substituting that route
for the proposed route down Vineyard street
from the Atwater Block. The ordinance had
its first reading last night. Tho new route
will afford much easier grade than Vim
yard street hill, which is quite PERCEPTIONS.
The work on the road will commence about
the middle of May. The route from the cor
nor of Seneca and Superior, to the Circle.
West Side, will bo built first, running on the
following streets: Seneca, Champlain, Center,
Detroit, Pearl and Franklin. This route win
be put in operation immediately on being
built, turnouts being constructed so that ears
may be run both ways. The route from the
West Side to this side by way of the Main
street bridge and Union Lane will not be
built Immediately. Cars will leave the
corner Of Seneca street every FIVE minutes.
There will be no connection at the corner
Of Seneca street with the railroad on supe-
riOr street, the guage being different. The
street railroads now built have gauge of 4
feet inches. The West Side road will be
five feet guage. The grade on some pOr-
tiOn of the latter road being heavy it is nee
essary to have large and strong horses, re-
quiring wider space between the rails in
which to travel. The wide gusge will insure
wide and comfortable cars.
This road will be of great convenience to
hundreds of our citizens and should receive
every possible encouragement. The differ
ence between gliding smoothly from one side
of tho city to the other in easy street cars,
and being bounced over the road in crowded
smnibuses, can well be imagined. The
sooner the road is built the better.

The PeterhOG case was up to-day in
Cabinet meeting, which was full with the
exception of Mr.. Chase. All the official
documents we're on the table. The impress
sion derived from indications after break
ing up was that the majority of the consti-
tutional advisers we're in favor Of holding
the vessel and opening her mail. There
are precedents, within the limits of this
war, to authorize the latter act.

And was bound 10 have my life,

The landlords carving knife,
And with the knite in haud to find me-
He looked madly through the car.
While was in the depot hid,
Enjoying segar-s
When he saw he could not End me-.
After looking through the train,
Into the dining room he ran,
And took my seat again
In the cars, which started on then,
And left him soon behind,
Looking vainly In each corner

WEST SIDE.-The population of the West
Side is now 7,e0O. 1t has increased greatly
of late, and is still increasing. The manu-
factories that have been built on the Flats
have caused great increase of population
on the West Side. There are no houses to
rent there We are told, which has caused
quite an advance in rents. The southern
and western borders of that portion of the
city are being populated by industrious la
borers, many of whom own the houses they
live in, with gardens attached. The prinei-
pal streets Of the West Side are being inn
proved by the residents thereon, and great
improvements are manifest throughout that
section Of the city. There is an abundance
of both public and private enterprise among
the citizens there, and disposition to keep
pace with other portions of Cleveland
