NO COUNCIL MEETING.
The West Side Borough Fathers Fail to
Secure a Quorum.

Secure Quorum.
The special meeting of the West
Side council, which was called for
Saturday evening failed to materialize
This was due to the failure of sufficient
members absenting themselves from
the meeting.
When the time for convening arrived
there were present O. G. Foster, f. B.
Sanders, John StruthsrS and James
Sutton. 1t was therefore decided that
q meeting be called for next Thursday
evening, Feb. 90
The meeting was called for the pur.
pose of considering and passing upon,
if found satisfactory, the ordinance Of
the Traction company now before the
council relative to the paving, ETC.,
portions of the streets upon which are
laid tracts
1t is calculated that, at the rate OF
$l.38 per yard, which iS the price of
paving which the Traction company
agrees to pay, the money that would be
received by the borough from the
company would be $4,000 for paving
between the rails and 50, 200 for paving
outside of the rails on Wyoming and
Luzsrne avenues, The ordinance also
provides for the payment Of 9 per cent.
interest on So. 900 from April /, 1893, to
the time of payment. The above cal
culatiou is for brick. laid edgewisS. AT
the present rates for paving. II is esti'
mated that the cost for paving be-
tween the rails, with bricks laid flat.
would be II cents per yard. and for
paving outside the rails, bricks laid
edgswise. 90 cents.
At these rates the money received
from the Traction company would pay
for the paving Of eighteen feet, having
but twelve feet for the property hold
ers on both sides of the street to pay
for. The cost of paving half of the
above, six feet, in front Of sixty foot
lot would be about $40.
1t is the concensus OF opinion that
the above terms are right and equita-
BILE with the exception Of one thing. 1t
is understood the council will insist up
on the company filing an indemnifying
bond of something in the neighborhood
of $50, 900 to insu-e the faithful per-
formance of carrying out their pledges.
This done, it is said the council will
give the company no further trouble. /.

FRANCIS HARR|MAM's DEATH,
Cousin of the Man Reported to Be
Engaged to Anna Gould.
Died at Woody Crest, but Not at the
Gould Place Of That Name.

According to the death notice printed
to-day, Francis Cottenet Hartman, a
former member of the firm OF Pierson
Hartman & Co., died yesterday Of ty-
phoid fever at Woody Crest.
MIR. Hartman WAS about thirty-eight
years old. and we'll known in this city.
He was a cousin of William M. Harri-
& Co.. who was a few months ago re-
ported to be engaged to Miss Anna
Gould. The only Woody Crest" that is
well-known Is that owned by Miss Helen
Gould, which is OH mountain near
Tarrytown.
Miss Gould. when seen by a reporter
last night, denied that Mr.. Hartman
had died at the Woody Crest" owned
by her. and also stated that she knew
of no other place OF that name.
At the clearinghouse OF Hartman &
Co. II was stated to-day that Mr., Will
lam II. Hartman was out Oi town.
A gentleman in the office said that
while he knew none of the particulars
OF Mr.. Harriman's death. he did not
think there was any reason or desire on
the part of his family to have any mys-
mans family have a country home near
Irvington. which. he said. he supposed
they called " Woody Crest"
He explained that the probable reason
why no particulars regarding Mr.. Harri-
mans death could be learned "a at ., his HI,
sixth street. was because all the mem
bers of the family are out OF town and
the servants know nothing about 1t, eX-
cept the fact Of his death.

BROOKLYN NEWS.
WILL COMMIT HER HIMSELF.
Agent Nsary Threatens to Ignore
tho Courts Decision.
Says He Will Place Miss Corcoran In
the House of tho Good Shepherd.

Justice Quigley, sitting in the Gates
Avenue Police Court, Brooklyn, refused
the application this morning of Agent
Neary, of the st. Vincent de Paul So
| ciety, to have Annie Corcoran, twenty
one years old, who has been in America
four months, committed to the House Of
the Good Shepherd.
The girls sister, Nellie Corcoran, who
works In the Mansion House, on Hicks
street, explained that Annie was in no
sense bad girl, but that some time
ago she had been i'll and since then has
not been In her right mind. Therefore
she wished her placed in some good Ca
tholic institution. She had been referred
to Agent Neary, who asked the Court to
Good Shepherd.
After an inquiry Justice Quigley refused
to commit an innocent girl to a penal
institution.
The agent was evidently greatly dis
paid pro rata for the number Of persons
he has committed to the various institu-
tons and the institutions receive from
the city pay for the board OF every per-
son committed to their charge. The
House Of the Good Shepherd is a reform
atory for young women. and the Judge
expressed his disapproval Of placing an
innocent girl In such company.
After the decision had been rendered
Agent Neary expressed his intention OF
taking the girl to the reformatory and
incarcerating her even without a COM
mitment from the court. He stated that
the law allows him this power.

MRS. STANFORD'S REQUEST.
She Wants the Governments Suit
Tried without Delay.
(By Associated Press


SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. A-The
Chronicle says that, although the claim
OF the United States against the Leland
Stanford estate for S500o00O does not
become due until Jan lG, 1895, there is
every reason to believe that the pro-
ceedings In the State courts to collect
the alleged Indebtedness will be COM
menced at a much earlier date. The
suit puts a cloud on the title OF every
portion OF the valuable estate until the
legality OF the claim has been passed
upon by the courts, or until the time for
commencing an action for enforcing its
collection has passed and the right for
such suit lost.
1t is said that Mrs. Stanford has sub
mitted to the United States q proposi-
ton for friendly suit. The Govern
ment Is asked to bring It's suit without
waiting until Jan. IL, 1885, when por-
ton OF the claim will be due.
Mrs. Stanford and her attorneys are
confident that the Governments claim
is wholly unfounded and that judg-
ment In Its favor VIII never be granted.
Therefore the prospect for a long delay
in the settlement and distribution OF the
dead Senator'S estate Will be prevented
II such a thing 10 possible. The seques-
tration OF an amount sufficient to meet
the Governments claim would mean the
swallowing up OF the entire estate
