The City Council Divided on the Ques.
ton OF Street Franchises.
The city council held two hours session
yesterday afternoon. The street railway
franchises occupied most OF the time.
The land syndicate which desires to build
line through the eastern part Of the city,
submitted a conditional acceptance Of the
right of way grant which the council voted
It q week ago and asked for an extension OF
the time for a further consideration Of its
petition
The syndicate objects 10 the clause in the
city's grant which requires it to give the
land for all streets which are to be opened
through its property. After con siderable
debate the matter was referred
back TO the special committee
on street railways, and fifteen days
additional time was granted in which TO
consider the matter aud for the syndicate to
file its acceptance of the conditions Of the
grant, from the time the report Of the COM
nittee Is submitted to the council
Alderman Cam offered a resolution pro-

city will grant the right of way through
South Broad and Jones streets, which stir ed

granting the street railways fires franchises
is well known, and Alderman Harris took
the same position in voting against the
resolution.
The council is divided on the question of
railway franchises. There is strong SEN
tlment of granting free rights of way on
the ground that the street railways are the
developers of the city, aud ought to be en-
couraged, but the opposition is in the ma

disabled vessel and took her In tow to T,ybee
roads, where she is now anchored awaiting
orders from New York.

day afternoon with twelve cabin and thirty
seven Storage passengers and a full miscel-
laneous cargo Of merchandise. Monday
night at O'Clock her connecting rod broke,
| stopping her engines three miles southeast
OF Frying Pan lightship. The
vessel was then anchored to await
a passing steamer and distress signals were
run up which were sighted by the Gate
| City.
At $50 o'clock Tuesday morning the New

the Gate City cooked on to her and took her
| in tow.
Capt Bets came up to the city on the

after her schedule time for leaving 50 as to
allow the passengers to make The connec-
ton. 1t is not known what action will be
taken in regard to the disabled vessel, and

while yesterday morning to learn the facts
in the case and place the parties under ar
rest The police are Withholding the names
OF the accessories, but they will be brought
out at the preliminary exam
ination to-day. Young Dixon at first
denied any knowledge Of the shooting. but
afterward authorized statement Of the
affair. He said that he and two compan-
ions were coming down town from the en-
tertainment at the Masonic temple about II
o'clock, and had just turned into Montgom-
cry street, when they saw a negro, who had
stumbled over something in the street, get
up from the ground aud begin curslng. He
appeared to be drunk and advanced
toward them, cnrsing as IL they had caused
his accident. Drawing his pistol, the negro
exclaimed with an oath: "Pm going TO kill
you, )" and fred a shot at Dixon, who was
ahead Of his companions. 1t missed him,
and Dixon jumped for tree The negro
nred again, and then started
was, holding bis pistol ready
to shoot again. Dixon drew his pistol and
fired as the negro neared the tree, the ball

lives near by, and who had him carried to
his home on Prendergast street.
DIR. Cox was called, and arrived about

his wound, and was evidently seriously
wounded. DIR. Cox examined him, and
found that the bullet had entered the left
side, about the sixth rib. There was
bullet hole in his back, directly opposite
from the hole in front, and appearing to
be the place where the bullet had made its
exit. 1t might be the place where the
second shot struck, but the appearances
would indicate otherwise.
DIR. Cox said yesterday afternoon that
while Waters wound is serious he lie doing
very well, aud his chances were good for
recovery.
Waters has the reputation of being bad
character. he was too low to talk about
the shooting yesterday.

were fired, hurried to the spot, but the par
ties had disappeared when they arrived.
