The city council had rather I'M
eventful meeting last evening. The re-
port of the committee on the city hall
boiler explosion was presented, as
already published, and created lively
discussion. Aid. Gray said there was
serious omission in the report
and moved, as an amendment,
that the engineer be cenSured for
not reporting that the engine had been
tempered with. Aid. Potter asked how.
if the boiler had been tempered with,
the committee could censure the hre,
man. He moved that the report ana
amendment be laid on the table. MS
motion was lost Aid. Bradlsh inquired
why the committee had not reported
the kind of water in the boiler at the
time of the explosion, Whether aqua
pura or aqua FORTS.
that he had fired an engine before he
become a statesman, and he asserted
from his experience that the fireman
was guilty of gross neglect II he dld
not practically test the stage Oh water
in the boiler before building hre.
Aid. GRAY brought the weight OF his
experience with engines to bear on the
question. and worked himself up to
state of virtuous indignation at the
gross neglect.
AID. Potter declared that both the en-
gineer and fireman be cenSured. OF
neither. He didn't want either one
censured.
Aid. Woodward SAID he was favorable
to striking out those words from the re-
port, and Aid. Gray told him he knew
nothing but engines and boilers.
Aid. Warren took a serious. even
melancholy view of the matter, and IN
timated that both offenders should nave
their discharge.
AID. Lowell thought so too.
To close the discussion. Aid. Smith
moved the recommittai of the report 70
the committee. This was carried.
Aid. Warren returned to the picayune
business later by moving to DISCHARGE
Engineer Collins and Fireman Enstad..
Uncle Smith and Father Parry hoped
the Door men would not be discharged.
Aid. Gray again showed his intimate
acquaintance with boilers by moving to
strike out the name of the engineer.
Aid. Brueshaber moved 10 strike out
both names. Both these amendments
were lost. and the council took the
back track again, and referred the
whole matter back.

his story. and said that it was johnson

The Board of Trade Tackles the
Crossing Case Again.
Vice President Clough, of the Mani
toba road, spent several hours yesterday
morning explaining to the board of
trade what the proposition of his road
is in regard to the chestnutty, but
none the less important, crossings
case, and trying to show them by means
of maps, charts, diagrams and plates
that his plan was the only plausible
one for settling the difficulty. He
showed that the chief objections made
by the st. Louis to the
foundation, and said he believed
the st. Louis object in delaying the
matter was to find purchaser. and he
thinks when the mortgage is foreclosed
which will be sOOn-a purchaser will
be found.
After hearing Col. Clough's remarks
A. ii. Towne, of the boards committee
on the crossing case, said he had never
thoroughly understood the matter
before, but now believed that the Man.
itoba'S proposition was the only one to
be considered.
General Solicitor Grover, of the Man.
itoba, explained the legal situation. and
said that the st. Louis would have the
same rights on the lower tracks that
they now have, and that their plea of
being left at the mercy of competitor
was ''bosh."
Col. Clough, on being questioned,
said the Manitoba was willing to arDl-
trate.
The st. Louis people will be heard to-
day.

AFRAID OF A JUNKET.
The Health Board Refused $500
to Investigate Garbage Sys-

The ii eaIt0 BOaru fScIuSeO SSUO
to Investigate Garbage Sys-
TENS.
The request of the committee on
health and hospitals for $500 appropria-
ton to enable them to investigate the
Merz system of disposing of garbage.
Aid. Downs decidedly objected to. as
wasting money monkeying with systems
which had not been made sue
cess. He thought it would be
time enough six or eight months
hence, but at present it was nonsense.
Aid. johnson left the chair and made
remarks in defense Of the motion until
he was ruled out of order by Mr.. Wood
ward. whom he had called to the chair.
Several OF the members seemed to
think there was a wOoGchuck Or
iunket in the request. and others pro-
fessed they did not understand the
question at all. In explaining his vote,
Mr.. johnson denied that all the sys-
tens of disposing of garbage were
an experiment. There were practical
systems of garbage disposal in opera
ton in fifty cities, and he thought the
CITY council ought to have enough con-
fidence in their city engineer and
health officer to trust them to investi-
gate or else legislate them out of Office.
Aid. Downs objected to his motives be-
ing impugned by his brother from the
Second ward, and called him to order.
The motion lacked majority of the
council and was lost.

THE EDISON FRANCHISE.
The Company Given Permission
to Begin Work.

Aid. Billings, representing minority
of the committee on underground wires.
introduced a resolution giving the Edi-
son company permission to begin work
within ten days and complete it
within thirty days, under direction
of the city engineer. Aid. Woodward,
who is chairman of the commit
tee, inquired how the minority set
this report before the council when
there had been no committee meeting.
The chairman informed him that it got
there by unanimous consent. The
Ninth ward member. Mr.Bradish, point
ed out that the resolution conflcted
with the ordinance requiring
all companies to Degin work at
the same time and thus avoid
tearing up the streets frequently. The
Importance of this consideration did
not affect the vote, and the report was
adopted. Aid. Billings afterwards made
a motion that all companies intending
to put down underground wires be re-
CURED to file plans and specifications
within ten DAYS.

PLANKING MOTOR TRACKS.
Aldermen Fear 1t Will Delay the
Cable Line.

The committee on railways reported
favorably on the petition of George W..
Libbey and others that the motor COM
pany be required to plank its tracks
from Thirteenth to Thirty-frst streets.
The Eighth ward aldermen favored the
report. AID. Downs inquired why the
motor company should be put
to this expense when the council
had already ordered a cable
line to be put in November. He thought
it formed a dangerous precedent, and
gave the company good opportunity to
ask for delay.
Aid. Farnsworth-Mr Goodrich says
they won't put in the cable until the
Milwaukee tracks are lowered.
Aid. Vandewaker moved that the re-
port be modified so as to require the
company to plank only the crossing.
The motion as amended prevailed.

Garry a Razor.
The ''culled people" from the neigh
borhOOd between Sixth and Seventh ave-
nues on Fifth street north. we're at the
district court yesterday to give and
listen to testimony in the cases of
Louisa Gatewood. charged with assault
in the second degree on Georgia Dun
nell. The story gathered from the evil
dence runs something as follows: One
morning last October, Louise strOlled
out on the back porch of their common
abode Ratchet in hand to cut some kind
ling, when she met Georgia. who stop
ping her was hailed with, ''Git out'en
dTWay you Chicago cat," and on the
so called Chicago cats returning some
not over complimentary epithet, and
still blockading the path the 1.-THE

of which Georgia relieved her, and in

she reached under her skirts and
drew forth a razor from her stock
ing, and with this new implement of
war renewed the attack, slashing her
across the abdomen, cutting through
the apron and dress, and doubtless it
was good thing for Miss Dunnell that
the dress reform had not gone so far
into effect as to exterminate the corset.
Mrs. Gatewood says she carried the
razor in her bosom and that she used it
in self-defense. Both women are mar
ried. The jury went out at O'clock.
. The jury did not bring in the verdict
till after 10 o'clock. During this time
Mrs. GatewoOd waited with her husband
at the court house to learn her fate and
both grew very anxious. The offender
j is little woman with an intelligent
face and of very light complexion for a
negress. and the anxiety that her face
spoke was almost painful as the clerk
read the verdict. and it was with very
visible relief that she heard the words
mot gnilty."
