The Street and Sewer commissioners

ments the railway company reaches
out its arms like an octopus
1t wan1s everything, and does not want
to give anything in return. It's latest
move Is to run It's line out Mint b street
to Church, up Church to Eleventh, In
Eleventh to Walnut and down Walnut 10
Ninth again.
1t has an eye for business in selecting
this route Ninth street Is a we'll paved
thorouqhfRre. IL was TO consider this
proposition that the Board Of Street and
Sewer Com missioners met last night.
President Preston Lea and Vice Presi-
dent Willard Salisbury represented the
company.
The matter was discussed in all its
bearings The board stated that /. was
willing 70 grant permission it the com
paDy would pay S4. 050, actual cost, OF
the blocks for the 2,7O0 square yards OF
pa vement included betwe the tracks
and two feet on each slice The Ninth
street pavement cost 81 20 per square
yard, and If the railway put it down IL
would cost the company SO 075.
This decision was blow to the great
expectations of the street railway mag
mates
They said that they were willing to
pave a street which was not paved, but
that their charter did not pei them to
pay for paving that is already aid.
The board could not see i. In that
light, and laid the matter over until the
railway magnates get of their 'altitudi-
uous equine
While the department gave the Will
mington City Railway Company a black
eye, it remains to be seen whether a raw
oyster of compromise will be placed upon
the injured spot by certain hands that
are willing to sacrifice the interests OF
the tax payers to those Of a ave
straight" street railway
Let Them Go Out Eighth.
A we'll known citizen said yesterday
afternoon before the meeting was held
Z" Let the company continue its lines
ont Eighth street, and pave between and
two feet on each side Of the tracks. 1t
only selects Ninth street because 1t is al.
ready paved and the railway kings want
to save that expense
The reasons assigned by the railroad
magnstes for selecting Ninth street were
that the grade was better and it would
bring passengers nearer the new post
Office at Nin6h and Shipley streets.

as Her Title IN the Plaintiffs Bill
Attorney A. Hershfeld went into the
Supreme Court Chambers yesterday, and
asked for a continuance in the case of
Bolan vs.. EdgerlY, or as the general pub
lie better knows them Actress Helen
Barry vs. Ac ress Rose Coghlan. Judge
Patterson decided that he would let a
week elapse before listening to the evil
dence.
Both actresses are on the road now,
but when they meet there is likely TO be
trouble OF course, Miss Coghlan is
angry that her professional rival
should seek to suppress certain portions
of "Dorothy's Dilemma" But
the report is that she is far
more dissatisfied at a portion of the
plaintiffs bill, which alludes to Miss
Barry as a star actress, while Miss
Coghlan is simply styled an ACTRESS.
Lawyer Hershfield admits himself that
Miss Coghlan feels somewhat grieved at
the slight AMI intends to resent it.
