A Question - to the OWnership q
Madison Street Bridge.

A Question - to tho Ownership Of
Madison street Bridge.
The house of delegates devoted a large
share of its time to the consideration of
street car franchises.
Fred E. Sander and E. F. Whittier with
drew their application for q franchise
from McClaire and Barclay and along
Market street, and applied for one in all
other respects the same except that it run
along Taylor street. The reason is that q
monstrance has been made against the
Market street route.
The house went into committee of the
whole. with Delegate Brace in the chair.
to consider the proposition, and on mo-
ton of DR.. Kloeber reported in favor of
granting it.
1t Was proposed to make the deposit IS
per cent. Of the total amount bid, in addi-
ton to 5000 certified check. Delegate
Cook declaring that they had once been
promised road but a small deposit did
not secure it. Delegate Caligan thought
it was violation of the spirit of the char
ter. as it practically prohibited any COM
petition. The proposition was agreed to
BY the house, Mr.. Whittier explaining that
they wanted to be protected from straw
bids.
The application of DR.. A. p Mitten for
an extension OF the franchise of the Madi-
son street line was then taken up Mr..
Caliigan suggested that as, long before
fifty years expire, cables may be aban-
doned, they should say electric or cable. 4"
DR.. Mitten gladly accepted the amend
ment and it met with general approval.
On motion Of Mr.. Calligan the commit

from the special car license of SIS year.
DR.. Kioeber asked what action the COM
pany intended to take with reference TO
the Madison street bridge. He understood
that the company claimed it as private
property, and he thought 1t should be-
come the property Of the city.
DIR. Mitten said the bridge cos, the com
pany 50, 600. and they were compelled to
build il in order to get their road through
in time, yet they should not be asked 10
donate 1t. as it was an exaciion never in
tended by the city. He hoped the council
would appoint q committee to arrive At an
agreement by which there should be fair
deal. Perhaps the city could claim the
bridge from them, but it certainly would
not be just. In reply to Mr.. Cook, he
said the company had made and main
tanned q road where traffic had been i'm
passable. and the improvement had saved
thousands of dollars to the citizens; i,
was qaite . different case TO the Yesler
trestle.
Delegate Calligsn said this Was the time
TO have the matter settled He must ad.
nit that the city had had less trouble with
this road than with any other. yet they
could not grant . franchise and then at
tempt to regulate it. He had no doubt
the city could take possession OF the
bridge, but whether that would be just or
not he could not say.
We'll" replied the doctor. '''f the city
takes the bridge suppose We viii have to
give in"

Fiction. 'if You would kick" fLaughter.l
President Kloeber was in favor of TAX
ing the bridge, as it was built to accommo-
date the company, but tho cost was less
than if it had attempted to run the road
down across the gulch. The company
ought to relinquish the bridge If the city
undertook its maintenance.
The matter went over until the next
meeting of the council
The appropriation bill was passed az fol-
lows: General fund, $l,235S5; water. 81
97S.S6; fire, $1,2S4.25; street, 81, 476 SO;
sewer. $2,505.5S: police. $56S 50; health,
1855. q; harbors and wharves, 81. 006; street
light. s.. 46I4S.
President Kloeber called attention to
the fact that the board of public words had
purchased large quantity of supply pipe
from the Northwestern Supply Company.
far beyond what had been contemplated.
He said the members Of the board admitted
that it cost to buy and lay down fully 33H
per cent. more than that purchased in the
East. There were seven car loads of pipe
lying at the depot, and much more under
ground-''how much more the superin-
tendent of the water department either
could not or would not inform me, added
the president. The matter will be further
inquired into.
The following ordinances were also
read:
Authorizing return Of . certified check for
81. 0U0 to the Rainier Power 4 Electric Company;

Akebia Quinata were planted at each post
and clematises In between the posts, three

In the North the akebia loses its leaves

early In the spring. Under the caves and
similar protected situations it often re-

REDDY LONG IN THE TOLLS.

Arfeoted for RObblng and Beoting Man
-Hfs lllustrious Record.
The famous freddy" Long is again in
the tolls, this time, perhaps. to get justice
in a large and generous quantity. He was
arrested by Officer Stepler about o'clock
last evening for committing an aggravated
assault and robbery upon William Ross in
the basement of the Albion block, at
Third and Cherry streets, few min
utes previous to the arrest. The
evidence secured by Officer Step
Ter was vest stained with
blood and q vest pocket found on the per-
son of the enterprising Reddy. which fitted
the garment. The pocket contained q
watch and other property, and had I'M
questionably been torn out Of the vest fur
nished by Ross.
Long is an old offender. The nearest
approach he has to an occupation is what
Is called drunk rolling; that is to say, rob-
bling men too drunk to take care of them
selves. He has spent several terms in the
city Jail. and is remembered for q violent
assault committed upon IN old man, . fell
low prisoner in the Jail. who, as usual with
Reddy's victims, was too drunk to defend
himself. In the municipal court Reddy's
demeanor is a combination of injured in
nocence and expert argument. In fact his
latter characteristic is so marked q to
lead to the impression that Reddy is either
lawyer gone wrong or else the raw ma
terial of . good pleader in criminal cases.
In one case he was arrested for being
. disorderly person and clean
ing out a certain well-known dive
in the lower part of the city.
On the trial the fact that he was in this
den was brought up in evidence. YES"
replied the philosophic Reddy, ~ admit
it. your honor, and think that any one
caught in that place ought to spend six
months in jail" His opinion was sus-
tanned in the sentence. the court giving
him the maximum penalty Of three
months imprisonment He has been re-
leased from this term about ten davs
