In Lieu of Father for Her Child She
Wants About $4,000.
The case OF Lottie Lee, a minor, by
Cyrus B. Cooper, her guardian, against
George w. Sheppard, was called in Depart
ment Two of the Superior Court yesterday
forenoon. The defendant is charged with
seduction, and the plaintiff asks for dam
ages in the sum of SIS, 900.
The parties interested in the case are all
colored people, and as consequence the
corridors of the Court house were crowded
with that class of citizens at the time set
for the trial, which was held with closed
doors. G. t. Jones and Matt F. johnson
represented the defendant, and A. l.. Hart
and ]. W. Hughes sup orted the defense.
The plaintiff AYERS thai prior to one
bleak day in November, 1887, she was as
pure and spotless as the driven snow: that
upon the ill-starred day in question she
hied herself into the domicile of the de-
fendant for the purpose of negotiating for
eggs and milk; that the defendant by
threats, persuasion and undue influence,
accomplished her ruin that on September
4, 1888, she gave birth 10 male child that
plaintiff has, as result, suffered great
mental anguish and bodily distress, and
that $25, 600 would be about the proper
amount to square the matter in a man
ner to satisfy the plaintiff aud reflect due
credit upon her alleged destroyer.
The baby was put in evidence A short
time subsequently it was put in the hall
way, as it soon developed disposition to
make too much of a racket, despite the
expert efforts of Clerk Royster to WOO it
into placid state of mind by the force of
melodious chirpings and sweet smiles.
The defendant is a whitewssher, and
lives near the corner of Twentieth and o
streets. The old man is well-known about
town, and has accumulated a considerable
sum by his industry. Considerable inter-
est in the case is felt in colored circles, and
verbatim report of some of the express
sions OF opinions the merits of the cause
would make reading far more spicy than
elegant.

THE OLD WATER WORKS BUILDING.
Architect Hamilton was called upon, and
made a report of the condition of the old
CITY Hall water works. building. He had
examined the place very carefully, and was
convinced that as /. now stood il was in q
very unsafe condition. The immense
weight of the water-tank and timbers sup
porting the same was too much of strain
on the walls. He thought uprightS should
be placed under the large timbers, In diff
ferent places. so the weigh: would come di-
rectly on them. and not wholly On the top
of the walls If sound bearings could be
found for the uprights, he thought that
would be the proper thing to do. He
thought it would probably cost not more
than $500 to properly brace the tank and
make the building safe.
Sanitary Inspector Starr was present, and
gave bis views 10 the Board as TO the con-
dition of the building. BE did not con-
slider the building at all safe, and anyone
who had made as thorough an examina-
.tion as he had would be of the same opin-
ZION. He thought Architect Hamilton s
suggestion would no; work. In the frs.
place. no solid foundation could be reached,
and even if the solid ground was taken for
bearing, it would settle. and before many
days the tank would be resting again
wholly on the walls,
The Board, however, asked Mr.. Hanlil-
ton TO make an estimate of the cost and
submit it at an early date.

PATENT STONE SIDEWALKS
A petition was presented by G. W. Baker,
Secretary of the Improvement Association,
asking the Board to extend the limit within
which it is obligatory to lay stone side
walks when new ones are constructed, so as
to include the following territory: From
| the alley between L and T, on the north to
the alley between p and Q on the south,
| and from the alley between Front and
| Second ON the west. 10 Twentieth street on
| the east
Ex-senator Dray spoke at length, urging
the Board to unite with the improvement
Association and extend the limits of the
cement sidewalk ordinance, as had unani-
| mously been agreed upon by the members
OF that body. There would hardly be an
| objection among property Owners, and the
| effect of the ordinance would be seen in q
few years, when almost every residence
would be ornamented with fine walk.
G. A. Luhrs favored the adoption of such
an ordinance on strictly health principles.
He said there would not be as much ma
laria were it not for the damp wooden
walks and the odor rising from beneath
| them.
DR.. J. H. Parkinson stated to the Board
that if this ordinance were passed he would
like to makea few suggestions. The color of
| the present walk is such that of afternoons,
when the sun shone brightly, the glare af-
| tected the eyes. He had written to Oak
| land to prominent ocuiist there, and had
been informed that it was the same way
there, and many school children were af-
fected and had to undergo treatment of the
eyes. If blue coloring could be mixed in
the cement he thought this would do away
with the bad effect on the eyes. A guam
tity of lamp black placed in the mortar
would also have beneficial effect.
1t was ordered that the City Attorney be
instructed to draw up an ordinance in COM
| pliance with the request.
THE OLD RIVER EXCAVATIONS.
Mayor Gregory stated that complaint hav-
ing been made with regard to the proposed
taking of sand for the purpose of filling in
the Capitol Park, from the old bed of the
American river, from Sixteenth to Twenty
| first streets, he visited the grounds, inscom-
| pany with President Tebbets of the Board
Of Supervisors, and in his (the Mayor's)
estimation there was no danger of injury
TO the levee in the least. However, a
further examination would take place, in
which the views of the City and County
| Engineers would be taken.
