BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS
Does Not Take ANY Action Re-
gardIng the Tearing Up of the
STREET RAILWAY DOUBLE TRACKS
On Jacob Street Below Forty-third.
Prosecutor Howard Appears for the
Property Owners Along the obnox-
ious Tracks-Asked that Action be
DEMONSTRATING Done.

The board of public works met last
night at the City building, Messrs.
Schmulbach and Hamilton present and
Schmidt absent, Mr., schmulbach pre-
sided.
The meeting was morethan ordinarily
interesting on account ithe consIdera-
ton by the board, OF the ForIy-third
street street railway track controversy
which laaengagod the attention OF both
Council and board for some time,
1t will be remembered that the late
council at its last meeting on the even
ing OF January "a, issued an order to
tho Wheeling railway company to take
up the double track extending on Jacob
from Fogty.third TO Forty'fourth
street, and put down in its place a sin
gle track to diverge at Forty-third to
Wood and Jacob, The order further
stated that in case the railway company
did not take up the tracks in thirty
days, tho Board of Public Works be or
dered to tear them up, Tho thirty day
limit expired several days ago but the
railway company has shown no sign
that it Is its intention to obey Councils
order. In fact tho company's legal ad-
visor at the meeting OF the Council
committees on streets,'. alleys and
grades, and railroads, before the matter
came up in Council, said the proposed
order would not bring up the tracks,
intimating that the controversy would
be taken into the courts.
Prosecuting Attorney John A. How.
ard appeared before the board as legal
advisor for the residents who are suf-
ferers by reason OF laying OF the double
track or switch, and asked after the
papers relating to the matter had been
read by Clerk Darrah, that the council
order to the board DO complied with.
Concluding he said, However L pre-.
sumo that in case the board does at.
tempt TO tear up the tracks, they will
be met by an injunction, procured by
the railway company from the courts.
That OF course would bring the entire
controversy into the courts, and it
would DO settled there"
No action was taken by the board in
the matter, the members proceeding to
sign checks and wade through routine
business.
An INTELMdENcER reporter asked Mr..
schmulbach whether any action would
BIO taken by tho board ut that meeting
mo, not at this meeting" replied
Mr.. Schmulbach. ~ am OF the opinion
that we should get an expression on
the controversy from the present city
council, before acting. What do you
think about 1t, Mr.. Hamilton%
"That suits me-" said the other men,
Der.
This action or rather inaction of the
board will delay the tearing up OF the
tracks for some time.

Nothing more startling and shocking
has occurred in this community than
theauicide by shooting yesterday after
noonof Thomas Richards, a well known
North Main street citizen.
Yesterday afternoon, shortly aitcr l
O'Clock, tho people In tho neighborhood
OF Market and Tenth streets were
startled at hearing pistol shot ring
out clearly on tho warm spring air, The
shot came from the little coop'like
building fronting on Tenth, used by the
weighor during Indictment weather.
Tom Richards had Just been seen by a
young man named Matthews enter the
structure, aud no at once started for
the hRll,Closed door. Upon opening ii
he aud tho other startled bystanders
were unypeakably shocked at seeing
Richards seated in the one chair the
room contained, with a smoking revol-
YER in his right hand and fatal wound
in his head, Just bhck OF the eur, on the
right side, When first seen he was not
dead, but while the oal0okeFs wore SIN
standing ut the door, unable US yet to
act, his head fell forward and life be-
came extinct.
A physician was called, but nothing,
Of course, could DO done. In the mean
time great crowd Of people had gath
cred, the news OF the deed having
travelled, us Is usual, with incredible
Yapidity, When Coroner Phillips ar-
rived on tho scene several hundred peo-
pie stood around commenting on the
event,

qpaintaucea, who deplore his untimely
end, He leaves vile and several
