If there should be any one who

injustice, the columns of this paper

REGARDING the republican ticket
it must be said that from first to

BURGLARS AT WoRK.-Between two
and three O clock this morning Mr.. VIM.
West. a clerk in the freight Office of the
Washington-South Railway, on
Henry street, near Cameron, left the
room in which he was employed, and
on starting TO return saw n man endea-
yoring to force window of the office.
Mr.. West started toward the burglar,
who desisted from his design and ran,
and the former threw brick at him.
Later 11r. West proceeded to the ticket
office of the company, on Fayette street,
and discovered that the grating around
the ticket agents window had been
broken. the place entered and $50 in
cash stolen. The thief or thieves next
entered the ladies' room through which
nm escape was made. The telegraph
office of the company is in the adjoining
room. but the operators knew nothing
of the robbery until apprised by Mr..
West. 1t was subsequently discovered
that the waiting-room of the Midland
road had also been invaded and that
an attempt had been made TO enter the
ticket Office, but a stick which Mr..
Thos. Moss, the agent, had placed over
the window prevented it from being
raised. The burglars then went into
the ladies' room adjoining and escaped.
A steel bit by the aid of which an en-
trance was effected was found. This
morning a strange man was arrested at
the instance of the Washington-South-
ern officials whom they suspected of
having robbed their office, but Mr.. West
being unable to recognize him he was
finally released. Lieut.. Smith, howev-
er, thinks the right man was in custo
DIV and that it was mistake to have
dismissed him.

When the joint meeting dissolved
Council for awhile took a recess, and
then took up the ordinance of the Mt
Vernon Electric Railroad for an amend.
ment to the act giving them the right
of way to Payne street and 10 the city
limits, which was read.
Mr.. Fisher moved to refer it to the
committee on streets, which was agreed
to.
The ordinance granting L. w. Spear
and his associates the right Of way over
streets of the city was received from the
Board of Alderman, having been passed
by that board unanimously.
DIR. Jones moved to postpone the
further consideration of the bill, which
was lost; ayes s, noes S.
Mr.. Evans introduced amendments
excluding the Spear road from any part
of the streets originally granted to the
Mount Vernon Electric Railroad COM
pany, which was lost; ayes 4, noes 6.
Mr.. Evans thought the paper was
the most extraordinary one that had
been submitted to Council. Here was
privilege granted for thirty years to
Mr.. Spear and his associates which
would prevent the Mount Vernon Elec-
trio Railway from carrying out their
projects, and giving all the streets over
to Spear. to an incomplete project. If
the Norfolk and Western road desired
track on any street
Mr.. Mushbach-"Why, it doesn't stop
steam railroads"
Mr.. Evans-"Fm doing this talking"
Mr.. Evans was unwilling to go into
this matter in hurry, but wanted a
fair chance for all and no monopoly.
Mr.. McCuen had become convinced
by the statements made tonight that
the Mount Vernon Electric road never
intended to build road north of the
city.
Mr.. Mushbach urged that Council
should at once concur with the Alder
men in passing the ordinance, and gave
many reasons in its favor.
Mr. Evans Ito Mr.. Mushbach)-"Has
Mr.. Spear charter for road to Wash
ington? ?"
Mr.. Mushbach said he had been as
sured that Mr.. Spear had purchased
such a charter and was ready TO act
under it.
The bill was then put upon its pas
sage and the vote stoOd,a ayes 10, noes g.
The chair sAAted that he had voted
in the affirmative in order to move 4
reconsideration. He favored Doctor
Jones's motion to postpone definite ac-
ton on this important matter He was
favorable to both companies and not
opposed to either, but wished to act
solely in the interests Of the city.
Mr.. Mushhach, interrupting, asked
If the bill had not become law with
out the vote of the chair.
The chair responded in the aflirma-
tive, and said the matter of a recQnsid-
Grafton of the vote rested with Council.
The motion to reconsider was then
put and lost and the board adjourned.
