She was evidently a school teacher, or
schoolgirl, for she held under her arm
bundle of books neatly tied with a
strap She was young aud pretty, with
fair complexion of a rosy pink. She got
aboard the do Rn town train at Thirty

by two feminine companions The car
was well filed and all the seats were
occupied save one near the door in the

tall, handsome young fellow fastidiously
dressed, who wore diamonds on his per

thud into the coveted seat. Without
look or turning his head he pulled out
of his pocket newspaper and was at
once lost in its contents Several passen-
gers noticed his brutally selfish action,
and discussed it in audible whispers
The young girl colored, and giving the
fellow a look that spoke volumes, she
grasped strap and said nothing.
Beside the fellow sat two Italian
laborers They had witnessed the whole
proceeding, and rising, with most
polite DOW, proffered their seats, which
the young woman and her nearest com
pauion readily accepted The third girl
had to stand, but she got seat at the
next station.
At this juncture the handsome fellow
threw his paper into his lap and gazed
at the young girl by his side admiringly.
He followed this up with most approx
ing nod of the head and majestic twirl
at his moustache The girl was by this
time boiling with anger, and, turning
round, she slapped the fellow across the
face with stinging force, leaving a dis.
tinct impression of her hand where she
had struck him. Her action was so
prompt and unexpected that the passen-
gers who witnessed it were dumb with
amazement, which gave place to a

An EVENING JOURNAL reporter called
upon Mrs w II Harrington, who lives
alone on Harmony street, and who was
almost frightened into convulsions by
the sudden midnight visit of David
Steele, well known citizen, on Thurs
day night She said: "My first infer
ence that something unusual was going
on was when, after being awakened, /
heard fearful noise at the side door Of
my house After lying perfectly still,
vainly hoping that the intruder would
leave, or cherishing the idea that II was
only drunken man, the noise became
so alarming that I opened the window
and screamed for help. Harry Atkinson.

was. Ireplied that burglars were break
ing down the door. He then called for
John McCRughan and the two went out
in search Of the burglars. Something
told me that David Steele was the man
who made the awful midnight visit
Accordingly, I set out for Steele's board
ing house this afternoon and cornered
him and put the question straight to
him. Steele admitted that he was the
guilty party but implored secrecy as he
meant no evil and just intended to pay a
friendly call.

Council will hold its first regular meet

meeting will be the presentation of the
annual address Of Mayor Frank + Her
bert In it he will advocate a number Of
reforms which, 1t is thought will be
brought about, as the new councilmen
are all young and enterprising men and
do not intend to oppose everything that
the mayor may suggest, but act upon
his recommendations and act promptly
His first plan is to pass an ordinance
providing for the registration Of dogs
This measure will make provision for
a city pound, a trustworthy dog catcher
and registration officer Every
citizen who owns a dog, instead Of
keeping him muzzled during the summer
months must pay fee OF 90 cents into
the city treasury and secure tag

Mayor Herbert intends, further, TO
call upon Council for the increase Of the
salary Of mayor, the city to obtain all
fees from the Levy Court and else
where. it being easier for the city to OBJ
tain the fees than for the mayor himself.
Then the councilmen will be called
upon to 20 for the railroad company
which owns a great deal of real estate
here. The bitches Of Battery Park, which,
he says, have become breeding beds for
cholera, must be drained by means Of inn
proved sewer drainage The city
treasury will also be called upon for the
establishment Of sewer drainage from
Vine street to the river Then the
railroad company must tear away the
high bridge over the railroad at Delaware
street aud bring the crossing away down
to grade Safety gates must then be
placed there
Both mayor and Council argue that this
is the only portion of the city now TO be
resorted to for building purposes and il
is necessary for the city's prosperity anc
growth, that this made land must bC
taken away and the street brought on
level with the surrounding property ant
