FAILED TO FIX A PLAN.
ALDERMEN STILL STUDYING
THE CITY EXTENSION.

The Matter Considered Last Night by
Council Committee OF the Whole-A
Special Committee OF Aldermen Az
pointed to Investigate and Report
Upon the Proposed Plans.
For over two hours last night City Coun-
Gil, as a committee Of the whole, discussed
the ordinance providing forlsying out the
city extension according to what Is known
as "the new PLAN" according to the plan
suggested in Alderman Thomas substi-
tute, according to the present plan and
perhaps according to other plans. At half
past ten O'Clock the committee OF the
whole decided that it had not fully inVes-
tigsted the matter and that more time was
needed TO look into it, There were not so
many citizens present IS at the preceding
meeting of Council, for there was an i'm
preston that the body would not settle
the question finally, but as indicated in
the NEWS yesterday morning, would
postpone final action.
AS soon as the aldermen were quietly
seated around the long table Mayor Les
ter stated 70 Council aud those present
that the committee tthe whole had not
completed its report. The Mayor added
that the committee requested leave to re-
port at the next meeting of Council II
there was no objection. Not voice was
raised In opposition to the committee's
wish, and Council unanimously granted
itself further time to investigate the mat
ter and inform itself upon the perplexing
subject.
When in the course of regular business
the time came for Offering resolutions
Alderman Hamilton offered the following:
Resol0sd, That committee o. i've be APP
pointed TO take into consideration all matters
appertaiuing to extending the city south Of
Anderson street and to report from time to
time.
Council adopted the resolution, and
Aldermen Thomas, Wells, OCOnnor, b.
CART and Myers were appointed. Alder
man Hamilton requested that be be left
of OF the committee, and his request was
granted.
Virtually the question is put of indef-
nitely. If the committee Is dlspOsed, q
report recommending one OF the plans
may be made to Council at it's next meet
ing, or recommendation may not be
made for weeks. Certainly the majority
Of the committee is not committed to
either the old plan or the new one. Al
derman Thomas favors a compromise, as
appeared from his substitute, and the re-
naming members have been thus far
rather non-cOmmittal on the subject.
An ordinance introduced by Alderman
OConnor at the previous meeting amend
ing an ordinance which granted certain
lots to the Union Society was adopted.
The remainder OF tae session was con-
sumed in trausacting routine business.

A WILL THAT WAS NOT LOST.


a Coiored Woman Prepares q WIN for
old Rebecea. But She Didn't Die.
Last week an old colored servant in
family living on York street, was taken
very IN, and It was thought advisable to
send her 10 the lndrmary. Previous to
her going, however, several colored wo-
men called on her, 20 care for her as fell
low members OF the benevolent African
order OF weeping Daughters OF Jere-
miah."
One OF the visitors obtained pos
session Of the key OF Rebecca's trunk. for
what purpose the sequel will show. The
old nurse was sent the following day 10
the Inhrmary and yesterday, having
70 her EMPLOYERS. On opening
her trunk, which had been left in charge
OF the lady OF the house, Rebecca was
surprised to fnd on top OF her things a
document written in red ink. The old
woman took the paper 10 her mistress 70
read. After twisting and turning the
document, and good deal Of guessing, II
was found 10 be the last will and tesla
ment OF the sick woman. The PRINCIPAL
legatee was the colOred sister who had
borrowed the trunk key. Thinking that
old kebecca might die intestate, the late
visitor had prepared u twill" and placed
Il where N would be found in the event Of
the Old woman's dying at the lntirmary.

are dark" the heather ChiDee Is not the
only one who "a peculiar. Had Rebecca
died, the colored sister would probably

Of the characteristics Of bis distinguished
predecessor. judge Speer eEl resseO
special appreciation Of the manner 10
which Judge Nicolps character was
spoken OF by the two members OF the par
who knew him well. Judge GicolPs con-
servatism was termed BY the court a
most appropriate attribute OF the bench
which should be the balance wheel OF
society. Although conservatism IS ne
quently ndiculed, those who say mo In
Rovations'' are very important members
OF society. The steps taken by the courts
should not be so quickly as in other de-
partments of the government, although
those whose duty 1t is to dispense justice
should keep pace with the times. A
Judge should not conceal bis political
opinions, but especially ia this country
should the judicial Office be free from
party. Referring to the portrait, his
Honor said that he never saw picture
with cast Of countenance more judicial,
The eye benign, yet resOlute; the mouth
Roman In tirmness and indicative Of Vigor
OF judicial character.
In conclusion Judge Speer ordered the
portrait to be hung upon the walls OF the
court room,

GREECE SEEKING A LOAN.
She Asks Her Sons and Friends to Pro-
vide the sInews of War.

She Asks Her Sons and Friends to Pro-
vide the sInews of War.
Greece has not yet engaged in war but
she is getting ready to do so. Those who
have studied the situation of affairs in
the East can hardly avoid the conclusion
that war there Is inevitable.
What Greece most needs at present is
money, and she is calling on her sons and
her friends, who are TO be found ia every
part OF the civilized globe, for assistance.
What she asks Is a loan, and her plan for
securing tits so attractive that she can
hardly fail to get what she wants.
The Greek government has authorized
the Issue of a loan of 10000, 200
francs divided into 100000 shares,
each share being OF the value OF 10 francs
So. 1t 10 called the loan for the ma
tional defense, and Is 20 be wholly used
in military preparations to defend He'll
enic rights. The shares, guaranteed by
the Hellenic government, will take part
in four drawings each year. The reim-
bursement OF the entire loan will, there
fore, be accomplished in a very short
time. The great prize at each drawing
will be 10000 francs-$4,000. There
will also be several smaller prizes.
IL Is only proposed to issue One-thlrd OF
the loan at present, and tue disposition
OF the shares in this country will be under
the direction OF the Greek Consuls, and
the committees whom the Consul General
Of Greece at New York may appoint.
In this city the gentlemen who are au-
thorized TO receive subscriptions for the
shares are Mr.. G. Menelas, Mr.. T. Zlzinia
and MIR. p. 7. Timayenis. The lottery
feature OF the loan is attractive. and viii
doubtless largely increase tho number Of
the investors.

FELL FROM A THIRD STORY.

A COlored Carpenter Fails from a High

Yesterday afternoon George Leib, a
colored carpenter, employed on the MORN
ING News annex. now IN course OF con-
struction, fell from the scaffolding in
front Of the third story 20 the street below.
He was pulling on rope which slipped
from his grasp and he fell backward.
Those VINO Witnessed the accident held
their breath ana expected to sec George
seriously II not fatally injured. He turn
ed a s0mersault, however, aud aiighted
GU his feet in the centre OF the street car
track. He was not only unhurt but was
hardly we'll shaken up. He looked around
to see II there was any damage done TO
the cobble stones in the pavement and
then went back TO work as though
nothing unusual had happened. IL was
certainly a most remarkable fall and a
PrOyidential escape from death. Last
week George had the misfortune TO have
whole brick drop on his head. He
looked up at the bricklayers and re-
marked that they we're careless wid dem
brick" George might make his fortune
AS an acrobat; ne certainly can do very
lofty tumbling.
