THE MOUNT VERNON RAILWAY.
The committee on streets of the City
Council met last CHIT. President Alb
bolt and Superintendent Holden, of the
Mt. Vernon Electric Railway, appeared
and had conference in regard to the
Use of Washington street for the main
line of the railway. DR.. Abbott eXhib
tied to the committee the drawings for
the proposed line, and explained that
the company wanted the use OF twenty
one feet in the centre of Washington
street for its tracks From Queen 10
Duke street it is proposed to lay double
tracks, and between the tracks light
iron poles with double arms to support
the trolley wire will be erected with an
incandescent light on the top Of
each. On the unpaved portions OF the
street only single track will be placed,
but as the city extends the paving the
double track will also be extended. The
company will either sod or gravel its
tracks two feet on each side of them. a
line ofcurbiAg will also be placed on
each side of the parking. The commit,
tee will report the matter to Council
when meeting of that body
shall have been called. There
is strenuous objection to the use OF
Washington street by some residents
thereon, it being urged by many that
the roar of the cars and the ringing of
the songs would disturb the worship
pers at the different churches on that
thoroughfare. There is also senti-
ment among many that Washington
street should be kept free from railroad
tracks. 1t has been suggested that the
railroad company use Columbus street
for their purposes, but the officials say
that thoroughfare is impracticable for
sheir purposes for the reason that the
extension of that street south abounds
in ravines, brick yards, lakes, &c ,
which ii would require much engineer
ing and great expense to overcome.
They are anxious to get to work on t re
road rs soon as possible, and say that
should they be granted the use OF
Washington street the track could be
laid. the polls erected and the wires
stretched in between forty and sixty
days There seems to be no doubt that
Che road will enter Washington via
Long bridge.

DROPPED IT WITHOUT BEING TOLD.
A day or two ago there was something
wrong with the trolley wire of the
electric road at its entrance to Royal
street, and the wire was lowered to the
ground in order to rectify the trouble.
At this .iuncture portly youth, from
whose connections that part of the city
is named, picked up the wire. Though
clumsy-looking, he is said to have i'm
mediatey performed feats which would
have done credit to an athlete. He at
first made dive into the lanyard
ditch, where he underwent contortions
and yelled ''police!" 'fire," &c, until
some of the track hands picked him up
and assured him he was not killed.

This morning, when introduced into
the police court, Carr stated he was
sick yesterday, and having a repug-
nance to physio, he had undertaken
to cure himself by potions of whisky
and lager beer. He was told he could
pay 81 80, or become member of the
