P0noo w WHO City' no also salu that th,
company had the option of purchas,
from several property holders in the vi
cinity, and If the ordinance was mas,
ed, they would buy the property o.
make good any injured by the char, =.
some OF the ow ners of property In th,
= vicinity disputed this, and when Cam
smith reminded them that they had
, onered to sell at certain price, one Of
them said he did know not when he set :,
price that he was dealing with Rail.
road Company. Mr.. Vandegrift then
amused the company's agents with
sneaking around and trying to purcbay
property for less than its value. when
MI. Bird asked him II he was in favor
OF letting the people squeeze the Rail.
foad ComDany just because ii was a
Railroad Company.
Mr.. Hersey inquired how it was that
tne plans proposed by the COMPANY
when the right Of way was granted.
were not satisfactory to them now? and
one OF the representatives of the Com.
pany replied that he did not know.
Quite an animated discussion ensued
during which q motion to adjourn was
made and carried.
Mr.. Bird called the attention of Conn.
Gil to the fact that some of the owners
OF property in the vicinity of R.tsle-
snake Run sewer had stopped engineer
Henderson while he was cleaning out
the sewer, to allow the contents to flow
oft OF the new sewer instructed by the
Company.
Robert Smith, one of those instru.
mental in stopping the work, made a
speech, and contended that the Comma
ny had no right to interfere with the
sewer, and threatened ii Council gave
Mr. Henderson power to proceed, that
ne would contest the matter in the
Courts. Notwithstanding this threat.
Mr.. Henderson was given permissionito
60 ahead and open the sewer.
The new depot plan was also shown
to Council, and provides that the
building snail be two stories high, with
a frontage of S9A feet On DUPONT street,
and 5SH feet on Delaware avenue.
The first floor will be even with the
sidewalk on the avenue, and occupied
by the ticket Office, baggage and other
rooms, and the wait ng room will be on
the second floor, on level with the
grade of the railroad. The local officers
of the company will have their rooms
on the third floor, white the express and
freight rooms will aujoin the passenger
depot. ~
Council then proceeded to Ht on
street above Fourth, where . eh .s.ss of
grade !s proposed for the relief of Benz
janin Martin, who built house some
~ years ago in accordance with the
lines as then established, and the
grade as now changed, throws the
front OF his house and doorstep below
the sidewalk.
Chief Engineer Robinson explained
the situation, and recommended the
the changing of the grade SO as to
make 1t 10H feet in The square between
Fourth anu Fifth, and 3034 feet between
Fifth and Sixth.
The recommendation of the Chief En-
gineer was adopied, and an ordinance
directed to be drawn in conformity
Herewith. Council then adjourned, to
meet this evening to discuss the propO-
sed change OF grade on Fourteenth and
Scott streets, and the clerk was directed
to notify interested parties to attend.

The steamer Wilm1nftCn carried a
large numbef OF nskeeh6eEs yesterday,
and made excsllert time each trip.
Among ,the amnsng incidenta of the
last trip down u the afternoon, was an
animated argument between tMo color
ed men. After arguing for some time
on the introduction Of SlATery into this
country, they changed thS cohversAtion
to christianity. One n the men, who
evidently was trying hard to be an
atheist, made the assertion that the
Bible was but Of little scc0unt, and
while he admitted ttat Il might be
possible for the spirit og ) christian to
live forever, he was certain that the ex-
istence Of tns wicked sarmi mated with
tho,f u froia this ,sslssisi, q. 4
This was lciutsd Dy sae other whs in
an earnest manner cont6nded that the
wicked would be subjected !" to fires
that burn, but not consume, and
when the unbeliever said thet he had
never thought Of God eothef clinched
his argument with "you d0snt, ? hey !?
what's you always say when you's
right sick or anything happens to you,

ner and his opponent gave up that he
was beaten, to the evident satisfaction
of the large crowd that surrounded

Horace Greeley On Wine.

George William Curtis in his recent
address at the seventy. eighth annual
dinner OF the New England Society
told the following characteristic anec-
dote of Horace Greeley remember,
many years ago, when was ono Of .
group Of young writer's upon the Tn-
bune and Mr.. Greeley was IN ardent
temperance reformer, that vigorous
article appeared one morning urging
young men TO avoid the tempter IN
whatever form he might appear, wheth-
or - punch or bitters, as sherry or
Madeira, or hook or claret, as Held
sleek, or champagne. Laughter. The
young writers-who were not ardent
temperance reformers-greeted Mr..
Greeley uproariously when he appeared
st the Office, and with infinite glee
pointed out to him that Heidsieck was
not different wine, but only particu-
lar brand Of champagne. A. the laugh
rang around the room Mr.. Greeley,
who, as bis opponeDts usually found,
was quiet able to hold bis own, leaned
with his shoulder against the wall look
Ing benignly at the laughing chorus,
and when 1t became quiet he said ::
Wall, boys, guess I'm the only man
in this Office that could have made that
mistake and then added, 1t don't
matter what you call him, champagne,
Or Heidsieck, or absinthe, he's the same
old devil. Much laughter.

Work In Congress.

The unfinished business pending in
the U. 8. Senate Is the Bankruptcy bill.
Its passage to-day or tomorrow il con.
sidered possible. The other special
orders are the bill relating to practice in
patent suits and the Shipping bill. The
| frienas cf the lattar are undecided
whether 70 press its consideration or
await the action OF the House upon the
Dingley bill and take that a. substi.
tute for their measure. The Indian
Appropriation bill will probably be re-
ported in the Senate and passed before
the end of the week. ' r,
In the House the business to-day,
after the introduction of bills, will be
tho calling of committees for motions.
Among those offered will probably be
motions to pass the bill repeating the
four years. term Of office Of Presiden-
tial app0intees to pass q resolution
directing the committee to investigate
the importation and expectation Of
food and drugs to fix day for tie
consideration OF the Bankruptcy bill |;
TO Ak day for the consideration of the
Mcpherson Funding bill, and to pass

intends TO ask consideration of the
Tariff bill again tomorrow. The dis
cussion on the bill is expected to con-
tinue until Thursday. >,.- 7.,-.
The bills relating to the President
count and succession are the special Or
ders Tor tomorrow, but they are likely
to be pushed aside by the Morrison
bill. The Diugley Shipping bill will be
considered on Saturday; it is the
special order for that day. The Pension
bill remains In Commit
tee Of the whole. 1t is possible that the
