WILD WEST.
FIGHT ABOUT sMOKING.
one Psrty Fined; the Other Sent On
the Grand Jury.

Frank Anthony and Benjamin Lea
man, two young men, were before JUS
tice Crutchfeld yesterday morning, the
former charged with fighting on cGr OF
the Union Passenger-Railway Company,
and the latter charged with feloniously
cutting the former with knife. When
Anthony's case was called he admitted
that he had been fighting on the car,
and the Justice thereupon fined him $40
and costs.
Young Leaman's case was then ex-
amined and the evidence showed that
Anthony and friend few nights ago
got on car and were sitting near the
front smoking, when the conductor told
them if they wished to smoke 10 take
the back seat, which they did. Young
Leaman was riding on the same car, sit
ting near the front with cigarette in
his mouth which the mOtor-man lighted
for him. Anthony made some COM
plant about Leaman being allowed to
smoke in the front of the car when he
and his friend were denied the njoy-
ment Of the same privilege. The latter
took the matter ur, and after few
words the young men got into fight,
and during the fracas Leamsn drew a
knife and stabbed Anthony in the breast,
inhicting a slight wound.
Justice Crutchfeld. after hearing all
Of the evidence, decided that the case
would have to be sent on to the grand
jury. The young man was allowed bail
in the eun OF 500.
Anthony was disposed to be very
lenient in the prosecution of Leaman
and tried to get the case dismissed, but
the Justice, after a careful considera-
tion, decided that it was a case for the
jury.

MIR. CHAPPELL.

Mr.. Chappell said the Council could
not deprive Mr.. Bryan of the Ninth
street route, but that the matter OF not
allowing the company to use electricity
was IN the nature Of a compromise, and
that the body hoped to get MIR. Bryan to
leave that section Of Ninth street in con
sideration of the privilege of using cleo
tricity being granted to HIM.
judge Gregory said il Was less danger
ous to come up Ninth street that when
the car left the Free bridge and got on

street route co1ld be seen and collisions
might be averted.

COLONEL ouTsHAw's VIEWS.

Colonel Cutshaw said thatif the Ches-
apeake and Ohio made a freight line OF
the Richmond and Allogany and brought
trains through the city by this route the
line would be almost entirely cut off and
these difficulties would multiply. He
did not think the Ninth-street route any
more dangerous than the Seyenth-street
route. nor that electricity as motive
power on this line would be more dan
rerous than the present management
lie said the question was whether cross
inc the tracks ON Ninth street would be
more dangerous than around Seventh
street, where the line would have to
cross the track from the Eighth-street
tunnel twice. He thought the only
remedy was an elevated line on Ninth

NINTH STREET.
The Matter Discussed Before the Street Com
mittee-The vote-0ther Commit
tees Work.

An adjourned meeting OF the Street
Committee was held in the Council
chamber at S:15 o'clock last night.
Present: Messrs. Crenshaw (chairman),
Chappell, Carter, Capers, Crump, White,
Glover, and Stratton.
The chairman stated that the meeting
was Tor the purpose OF hearing the COM
plant Of the citizens OF Manchester in
regard to the proposed change in the
route of the Richmond and Manchester
railway.
Mr.. Crenshaw Informed the Man
chester Council committee that be was
ready for them TO proceed, and would be
glad to hear from them.
President Perduo replied that all of
his committee had not arrived, and it
would be well to consider any other busi-
ness that was before them.
Under q Suspension Of the rules Mr..
Crenshaw introduced a petition OF
Messrs. Carpenter & Co. asking permls-
sion to place four-hOrse boiler in the
tunnel-shaft on Eighth street, the same
to be used In connection with pipe for
exhausting the air from the bottom of
the shaft, thereby purifying it. This
was referred TO the City Engineer and
Ward Committee, with authority to act.
MANCHESTER RAILWAY.
The Manchester committee having
arrived the railway matter WAS at once
taken mp.
Mr.. Cronshaw, at the request of Mr..
Perdue, read the petition of Mr.. Bryan
asking that be be allowed to use cleo
triciiy as a motive-power, and TO run bis
road from Ninth up Canal to Seventh,
up Seventh TO and over portion Of the
Electric COmpanys track.
PRESIDENT PERDUE.
President Perdue, Of the Manchester
Council, was the first speaker to address
the committee. He read the resolution
passed by the Council OF that city pro-
testing against the change in the route.
He said he did not suppose for one
second that the Richmond Council
wished 10 inflict any hardship upon the
people of Manchester. In fact. he would
frankly say that Richmond should
feel proud to think that Man
chester wanted to keep up a close
communication with her. BY actual
count over 1000 people per day crossed
the bridges between the two cities
Would it not be proper for the Rich
mond Council 10 help this large number
of citizens TO obtain rapid transit He
hoped the committee would recommend
the granting of the privilege to use cleo
tricity on the prescntroute. They did not
come as supplicants to beg for anything.
What helped one benefited the other.
Manchesters trade with Richmond
amounted to about $1,000, 900 per an
mum. 70 reach this did not cost cent,
when Richmond firms were spending
hundreds OF dollars every year to obtain
the same amount OF custom from points
further south. He only had one favor
TO ask, and that WAS either to report in
favor of granting electricity on the pres
ent route or to let the line stay as it is,
with the horses and mules.
Mr. Carter moved the granting Of the
privilege allowing electricity to be used
on the present route.
Mr.. Crcnshaw stated that in his re-
membrance Mr.. Bryan had asked for
the change, saying Ninth street was
dangerous.

NIR. GLOVER CHANGED.

Mr.. Glover said his views had been
completely changed; ; that he came to
the meeting with his mind wholly made
up to vote against the petition but that
as the delegations from Manchester and
Chesterfield had appeared and stated that
the present route was the one desired by
the South Side, city and county, and that
these were the persons for which the
road was constructed, he would accord
to the citizens of Manchester their wishes
as expressed before tine committee.
MIR. Stratton said he thought the route
a dangerous one, and he should vote
against the ordinance il he was the only
man that did so.
Judge Gregory said the delegation did
not ask for protection, but simply that
the city open the thoroughfare and grant
the simple franchise as asked for.
Mr.. Glover saiG he would like to hear
from the City Engineer in regard to the
danger and the propriety Of the proposed
route,

there was more danger on Ninth street
than on Seventh, he would be constrained
10 change his views and should vote for
the petition.

Council would grant them the privilege
OF using electricity as a mohye'power
