Discussions and Matters of Interest Before
the AIdermanic Assembly Last Even
ing.
At last nights council meeting the
ordinance of the Rock Island County
Brush company, praying for the right to
lay mains for steam heating purposes
was reported favorably by the committee
on condition that certain amendatcry
provisions be made and the ordinance
was returned to the company for such
amendments.
The license to Col Stewart for running
ferry boat. came up and was passed by q
a vote of Is TO l, Aid. Hetter casting the
only negative vote. the same being good
for one year on payment of 800 into the
city treasury. The license does not spec
ify the kind of a bostCol Stewart shall run,
and under it he may re-estsblish ais ocean
launches if he sees fit.
The ordinance for the paving OF Fourth
avenue from First to Twenty Fourth
street, and OF Twenty-fourth street from
Third to Fifth avenues, passed, and
then City Attorney Haas stated that he
had been requested to call attention to
the fact that it was unnecessary to publish
ordinances in The city papers if they were
prin ted on slips of paper after passage.
and he had no sooner made such an
nouncement than Aid. Euesing saw a
chance to do something, and he popped
up and moved that the publication of
ordinances for public improvements
by SPECIAL taxation be discontinued. And
the motion prevailed, the council not
stopping to consider that such an act
leads to the concealment in u degree of
their official acts, as under its provisions
no official presentation of important ordi-
nsnces thus acted upon wi reach the
eyes of the maj ority of our tax payers.
The resolution looking to the estab-
lishment of the grade on Thirty eighth
street come up, and a communication
from property holders was read favoring
the vacation by the city of 10 feet oriei-
nally donated by the college 10 the city.
President Jesperson of Augustana college
spoke in behalf of the petitioners. Aid.
Guyer. Corken and Schroeder made strong
pleas for the va cation of the 10 feet as
prayed for. the college having originally,
they held. given the the city 40 feet
whereas other property holders had given
but 80, and the college was therefore en-
titled TO the 10 feet. Aid. Huesing. Ken
uedy and Bladel were found in OPPOSE
ton to such proceedings. but it passed
nevertheless, by a vote of II to 3, with
the aldermen mentioned arr.Igned against
| it. A 6 per cent grade with probably be
| established leaving a 60 foot street.

Another Fatal Grade cros.ins Accident ..
South washington.
There was another fatal accident ON . grade
crossing last night, the second one on the Baih-
more and Potomac railroad this week. The
first one was an unknown colored man, who
was killed at Virginia avenue and Sd street Mon
day night, and the victim last night was an un-
known colored woman. She was killed at the
9th street crossing on Maryland avenue. In
each instance the engine was running at q slow
rate of speed and IL each case the body was
horribly mangied.
The accident last night happened about 7:l5
o'clock and the woman was killed by work
train. At the time of the killing the train was
in charge Of the fireman. There is q telegraph
station at 9th street and the engineer aud con-
ductor had gone to the station for orders
While they were waiting for their orders the
train was kept moving at o very slow rate OF
speed.
The killing Of the woman was not witnessed
by any one but the general appearance OF
things indicet ted that she had been struck and
run over by tho sixth car from the engine, as
there was no blood on the cars ahead Of the
one mentioned. Several cars had passed over

also cut open and her body was otherwise
badly mangled.
When the remains were lifted from the track
a 25-cent piece fell from her mouth. In her
pocket were found bunch of keys and an
empty liquor bottle, which was not broken.
From appearances the police thought the
woman was about forty years old. On one finger
of her left hand was plain gold ring.
1t is thought that the woman was on her way
to a store on the opposite side of MARYLAND

so slowly that sbe probably thought IL was at a
standstill, and In attempting to pass between
