THE RAILROAD PETITION.
The Committee on Streets took fna
action last evening on the petition of the
Consolidated railroad, and formulated its
report to the Court of Common Council.
The report Is In favor of the proposed
changes, and In IL the committee has care
fully guarded the interests of the city. II
has not taken anything for granted, and
the obligations of the railroad TO the city
have been strictly defined. The new Tn
lon avenue is TO be 50 feet wide, instead
Of 76 feet. AZ at first proposed, and the
provisions regarding sewers, maintenance
Of streets, etc., are clear and definite. No
fault can be found with the report, and
the committee deserves the thanks of the
citizens for it's faithful and conscientious
work In this important matter.
It is not probable that this judicious
and carefully considered report will meet
with any opposition In the Court of Com
mon Council. 1t ahould not. The rail-
road company has acted In the whole mat
ter with the utmost fairness and regard
for the rights and privileges of the city. 1t
has asked nothing which 1t ought not to
have, and its plan when carried out will
be of great benefit to the city as we'll as TO
itself. The adoption of the committees

layed, for tho sooner the great improve

setts, some time ago saw piece of wire
obstructing the sidewalk over which he
was passing, and sndeavored to put 1t on
one side. The wire in falling had crossed
one carrying a charge of electricity, and
the well-meaning citizen was injured.
He brought suit for damages against the
city. Upon the first trial he was beaten,
the judge directing q verdict for the city
on the ground of contributory negligence
The case was carried to the Supreme court
and the ruling of the lower court was re-
versed. Judge Holmes wrote the opinion.
He said upon the question Of negligence:
We agree that cases of benevolent inter
meddling by Q volunteer can be put in
which he would take the risk Of any harm
that might befall him; for instance, II a
man should come with carts and bricks
and mortar to make serious changes and
repairs. But 1t seems to us that to throw
on one side out of the way of travel, either
with ones stick or ones hand, light NOV
able object, which is an annoyance or n
nuisance where 1t is, is one of those every
day acts of kindly feeling which fairly may
be said to be an incident of travel, as IL
commonly goes on, and to be within the
protection of the law.
