THE ELECTRIC RAILWAY.
Facts In Regard to It Introduced at the
Hearing.

At the meeting of the Mayor and Alder
last evening, the nomination of DIR. r. J.
Martin as member of the board of health for
three years and DR.. j. o. Webster for two
years were confirmed.
A hearing was then given on the Electric
Railway question, the direction of the road
and large number of prominent citizens
were present. Hon. Ii. NJ. Heath, attorney
for the road, explained its object and pro-
posed location ard answered numerous ques-
tions propounded.
The trestle to be built across Britts gully
would not interfere in the least with the
travelled portion of the road
The charter provides that the road shall
not interfere with the public convenience
and safety, under penalty of being held
liable for injuries incurred, and consequently
snow could not be removed from the track
to the detriment of travel.
E. W. Whitehouse asked What objection
is there to running the railway on CONNER
cial instead of Water street2"
Ahe'e oiN WV Vbg'Stiohe' Ahet. tnt
angles at the corner of Bridge street are too
sharp for a car to go around them; and sec
ond, the road should run where the travel is.
To run on Commercial street would be un-
just to the merchants on the east side of
Water street.
It would be impracticable to build the road
on Commercial street, and the whole apph-
cation for the road might as well be refused
by the city government as to force us to
build there
at is planned that the road shall go with
in seven feet of the eastern side of State
street, so as to leave the greater part of the
sreet entirely unobstructed.
Hon. J. NJ. Haynes, the president of
the road, said that the original design of
in Augusta to a central point in Gardiner,
and it is possible that this plan may still be
carried out. The railroad however is de-
signed for the public convenience and with
this end in view it was thought best also to
include State an l Bond Sts. If it will ac-
commodate the public more to have the road
in the middle of those streets, the company
will gladly place it there. A canal through
the snow in the middle of the street would
be physical impossibilty which it is use
less to discuss.
NJ. S. Holway, Esq said that the residents
on the east side of State St, are heartily in
favor of the road, but as this street is more
used than any other except Water St, and
especially for pleasure driving they earnestly
request that this road may not be located on
that street. He then presented a remon.
STRANGE to that effect signed by nearly all the
property owners on State St, between
Grove and Bridge Sts.
F. f. Southard, ESQ, said that he lived on
! the east side sf State St., and the idea of the
road running within Is feet of his from,
! windows is Objectionable. Running the road
so near would damage the abbutters consid-
erably.
The public hearing then closed and the
Beard adjourned till 7.30 this evening whe n
! a final decision as to the location of the road
viii be reached.

COAL HANDLERS ON DECK.
Armed with Clubs they Parade the
Cleveland Docks

CLEVELAND, o., April Is.
The coal handlers on the docks fronting
the river were on the war path today. Last
season they were paid fourteen cents for
loading coal into vessels. Early this season
they came TO the conclusion that they ought
to have sixteen cents. Their employers de-
cided to reduce the price to twelve cent?,
and the old men laid dow n their shovels and
new men were put to work
This morning about hundred of the strik-
ers, carry ing sticks. which they used for
canes, assembled at the mouth of the river,
marched from dock to dock, and ordered
every b0iy to quit work. The command was
respected from one end of the river to the
other
At the Pennsylvania railroad docks the
workmen resumed operations shortly after
the strikers disappeared. squad of police
men arrived to protect them, Atthree o'clock
this afternoon all the docks, except those
belonging to the Pennsy lvsnia company,
were deserted. The strikers are now quite
willing to accept fourteen cents, having
abandoned the movement for sixteen cent
rate.

INSURANCE AGENTS
Fomenting Strife Against the Insurance
System OF the Baltimore & Ohio.

CuIcAGo, April 10.
1t is charged that the threatened .,rke
against the insurance system of the Baltimore
& Ohio Railroad Co. by the employees is be-
ing fomented by agents of life insurance
companie., An official of the road said to-
day: There is hot any general dissatisfac
ton. We do not compel employees to sign
the insurance agreement and will not do 50,
although all employees are expected to do SO
Some have declined to put their names down
but they will not be discharged and do not
expect TO be
Referring to the story that the employees
of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad company
were contemplating a ,trike against the com
pany's insurance schemes, Superinten ende Mt
BriIton saws that there is no truth in it, The
insurance feature was adopted by the road in
1882, and there has never been any order
issued to compel employees to become MEM
bers. The rate of insurance charged is lets
than could be procured from any other in-
surance company for the same benefits.

IRREPREssIBLE BADBAU.
Decision In the Case Between Him and
the United States

An opinion was rendered by the L. s.
supreme court today in the case of Adam
Badeau. appellant, vs.. the United States
The suit was brought by B6deau in the
court of claims for pay as . retired captain
of the army from April 2s, 1870, to Sept. Is,
1881, during which time he was consul gen.
ersl to London, and from Nov. Is, 1882. up
to the date of filing the suit, during which
time he was consul general to Havana The
United States filed counter claim ststirg
that Badeau was indebted to the United
States for money erroneously paid to him as
an army officer for portions of the period
from Dec. 81. 1869, to Oct. 81. lBs2. The
court of claims by 3 divided c0urt dismissed
both elaine.
The supreme court holds that nAdeau
while drawing q salary as consul general was
expressly Inhibited from receiving additi ,nal
compensation for dischsrging the duties of
another office. The court refuses to disturb
the judgment of the court of claims, adverse
TO the counter claim of the United States
If he was not an officer in law he was serv-
ing as such in fact, and no reason was seen
why they should be required to return what
was paid him while discharging his duty ss

THREE PERSONS BUTCHERED
In The Horrible Manner Of the White
Chapel Demon.

MOBILE, Ala. April Is.
Capt. II. Jones of the schooner Arthur
which arrived today from the Bay islands
reports that at Rustan last month, Rev. Hen
~ Hohson, his wife and her companion, n
young girl, all natives of Jamaica, were
fouily murdered by Joseph Bures.
The family were preparing to leave for
Bslize, and Bures was helping. Discover.
ing that Irs. Hobsou had money, Bures at
night entered the house and cut the throats
of all three persons. He robbed them of
what money and valuables they possessed,
including a watch. The next day Bures " as
found with the watch in his possession, and
when arrested confessed his guilt.
Captain Jones says that the bu'chery of
the three persons and the mutlla,ion of the
bodie. of the two women. bore strong re-
semblance TO the murders committed by the
White Chapel murder of England.
