BOARD OF ALDERMEN.
Petition to vscate Streets and ALLEYS
ON Htll's Right of WAY.

Presi lent James ]. Hill. Of the Great
Northern railroad, through his attorney,
Judge Burke, presented petition to the
board of aldermen to vacate the alleys of
blocks l3 and 20 and the south half of
alleys in blocks and II. d. s. Maynard's
addition to Seattle: also the south half
block OF South Second street, lying be-
tween Jackson and King streets; also one
block Of South Fourth street, lying be.
tween Jackson and King streets.
When the petition was read it was, on
motion, referred to committee Of tho
whole. The board took q recess to 20
into committee of the whole to consider it.
Alderman Ingram thought that council
at this time should not grant that
part Of the petition vacating South Second
street until the company had erected the
station. Should the company secure the
street and then fail to erect its passenger
station. the city would not be in a very
pleasant position. The petition could be
granted later. he thought.
Judge Burke. for the company, stated
that the company would in the next fis-
teen or twenty days have its passenger
trains running into its proposedAerminal
grounds. and considerable inconvenience

for Optional Bids.

joint resolution vas introduced in the
house Of delegates last night authorizing
the city comptroller TO call for bids for
bonds. Delegate Drew said it was sub
stantiaily the same A. the one passed at
the last session. but 20 which the alder
men had made an amendment. The difi-
Guilty Is overcome by calling for three
separate offers for the sewer bonds, one for
5000. one for 500 0OO and the third for
installment Of $4,000 after the issue Of
100000
Delegate Shields said i. struck him that
since the people had voted for these bonds
the house should consider what it was do
ing. In these times the presence of $780,
OoO was . very important thing for the
community. and he should be in favor of
the entire issue being called for at once.
Delegate Drew said the council could
determine on July whether it should ac-
cept the bid for the whole amount or not
~ seemed best for the city at that time.
Comptroller Carson said he and Mr..
Do.wosth thought the wisest plan would
be to call for 500, 0O0 and the remainder
from time to time a. occasion required.
The result would b . competition for the
bonds, and the city could accept either bid
when all were made. He did not want to
SEQ $3.50. 900 brought on and dumped into
tho lap Of the banks at this time.
Last year there was $1,000. O5O put
into the banks and . considerable
portion remained there. Without
these sewer bonds there would DO over
$500. 900 in the banks without interest. II
any scitizen went to the banks for money
he would to pay 10 OF IL per cent. interest.
II these bonds are issued now there will be
100000 in the banks for a year upon
which they would not pay a cent interest.
He knew that many citizens voted for
these bonds believing they would not all
be issued at once.
The optional resolution was then passed.
When the board convened Alderman In
gram presented the same joint resolution.
He said the resolution was . substitute for
the one which was introduced in the board
at its last meeting and was rejected by the
house Of delegates. The resolution pro-
vided that the funding bonds and sewer
tunnel bonds be issued at once and that
bids on the general sewer bonding matter
be called for rs follows: First proposition,
that 500. 900 worth of bonds be issued at
once and that the remaining $50, 900 be
issued when the council shall see fit;
second proposition, that 500 900 be issued
at once. $4,000 January l. 1894. $50. 600
April l. 1894, $4,000 July /, 1894. The
resolution was passed.

Delegate Lyon said the bill proposed
would create monopoly, as all the places
were owned by one corporation.
Delegate Shields had the satisfaction OF
knowing that his views were shared by
large number of the citizens of Seattle.
Delegate Cook expected to help protect
the parks at the end OF James street ana
Yes!er avenue lines from saloons. and he
should object to one at Madison street.
The bill was killed by . vote of 6 to 5.
The utility of gas governors in saving
expense was very animatedy discussed on
n bill sent in by the gas company. with
the result that the bill was defeated,
several members expressing desire to
have further information.
The bill for election expenses, amount
ing to $l.5525O. was passed. This -
for the compensation Of officers and does
not include the cost of booths, printing
or advertising.
Superintendent Calligan, referring to an
ordinance authorizing . refund OF water
rent to the Seattle Coal and Iron Com
pany, asked where he was to get the
money. He had received the amount in
dispute and turned it into the treasury.
and he had no funds from which to pay
out money. Judge Shields said he had
examined the matter and found that there
was an evident overcharge due to leak
age. Mr.. Calligan said he was satisfied Of
the justice Of the company's complaint,
but thought it would be better to have the
claim settled as others are. The bill was
committed for amendment.

TWO SWITCH CARS COLLIDE
Eight School Girls Painfully injured
Near Raleigh.

RALEIGH, n. c., April 5.-Yester-
day was sad day in Raleigh One
of the most terrible accidents ever
known here occurred at the State
Fair grounds yesterday about 10
o'clock. The disaster was caused by
an accidental collision of two cars on
a switch-back, or gravity track, on
which crowd of school girls were
riding, the pasttime being the switch
back. There were probably fifty
young ladies on the grounds, mostly
the juvenile scholars, including many
of the little daughters of Raleigh's
best known citizens. They were rid
ing on the switch-b back and having
happy frolic. All at once the inno-
cent glee was turned into heart-pierc-
ing screams of agony. The two cars
of the switch-back had collided while
both were running at fearful veloci-
ty, and nearly a dozen MANNED and
stunned little girls were hurled out
upon the iron tracks and upon the
ground where they lay in helpless ag-
ony cruelty icut and mangled by the
Splintered wreckage of the smashed
cars. Those who rushed to the rescue
saw as many as seven of the innocent
little girls lying in state of helpless
>
and probably as many more were bad
| ly h3rt.
Among those who were injured were
as follows: Miss Mabel Green, daugh-
| ter of Col. Wharton j. Green, of Fay
etteville, had one limb broken and
| the other badly Injured, possibly frac-
| tured; Little Florence Boylan, daugh-
ter of Mr.. James Boylan, of this city,
| had her face crushed in above the nose
and sustained the most serious injury
of any of the victims; Little Annie
| Root, daughter of Mr.. Charles Root,
of this scity, had one limb broken;
Little Addie Snow, daughter of Mr..
George II. Snow was badly hurt, sus-
tanning internal injuries; Miss Patter-
son, of Newberne, was badly bruised
and rendered helpless by her injuries,
but no bones were broken: DR.. SL,edes'
two little twin daughters, who SAT on
| the front of one of the cars, were both
! terribly hurt, one of the little girls
| having both limbs broken and the
/ other sustaining injuries; Miss Adele
Martinare, of Georgia, was severely
bruised and cut. AS many others
were injured, though not so seriously.
All the injured had to be removed
upon cots. The condition of several is
now very serious The affair has
thrown pail over the city.

Destructive Eir@.

MONROE, n. c., April 6.-The great
est fires ever known in Moore and
Richmond counties are raging in the
heart of the longleaf pine district.
The trees had just been bored, and
thousands have been destroyed. Many
people owning turpentine orchards
are ruined. One man lost 1000 acres
of trees. The fire swept down upon
the town Of West End and nearly
wiped it out. Three large stores,
with the entire stocks, postotiice and
several dwellings scattered through
the woods We're burned Tie rails Of
the Aberdeen and West End Railroad
are so badly warped that trains can
not run. Great quantities Of ro-in
was burned, 1000 barrels at West End
alone.
