OF A UNIFORM WIDTH
PETITIONS TO MAKE A BOULEVARD
OF CAPITOL AVENUE.
Ground to BE Vacated on Each Side
OF North End of the
ThOrOughfare.

The Board of Public Works has begun the
work of making Capitol avenue a uniform
width north Of Fall creek. A few days ago
the members of the board drove over that
section OF the street and found very many
different widths of the street In some
places it was one hundred feet wide, while
in others il was but half that. 1t Is the
intention of the board to make a boule-
ward of this street as far north as Crown
Hill. and before the improvement of the
roadway is begun it desires to have the
street one width throughout. The proper
ty owners on the street are in sympathy
with the plans of the board and willing
to do anything that may aid it in making
boulevard of the street. Petitions to &C
compllsh this were presented to the board
yesterday.
One petition was for the vacation of thir
ty feet off the east side of the street ex-
tending from Twenty-second street to a
point one hundred feet north of Fall creek.
Beginning at this point the property on
the east side of the street is to be vacated
thirty feet at the place of beginning and
tapering to point at Fall creek. Another
petition filed asking for the vacation
OF ten feet off all lots on the east side of
the street from Twenty-second to Twenty
sixth street and twenty feet off the east
end of all lots on the west side Of Ken
wood avenue from Twentieth to Twenty
second street. All of the petitions were re-
ferred TO the city engineer to investigate
and make report upon to the board.
A petition was filed asking for the vaca-
ton of ten feet off of the north and south
sides of Irwin street from Cornell avenue
20 the l.. L. & w. tracks, but no action
was taken upon it by the board.
Cement sidewalks were ordered on Mas
sachusetts avenue from Ohio to st. Clair
street, and on Fourteenth street from An
drews street to Capitol avenue.
Vouchers were allowed for the street-re-
pair gang to the amount of 1891 SO; sewer
gang, $119.10, and for the bridge gang
$l5960.
A few of the contractors who have torn
up the streets and failed to restore them
to their former condition, were before the
board yesterday afternoon. II the work is
not done by the contractors 1t will be or
dered done by the street commissioner and
the expense withheld from the amount due
the contractor for the work. AS the city
pays its workmen higher rate of wages
than the contractors this will make the
work somewhat more expensive to the con-
tractors than if they did it in the first in

For several days past there has been
more or less unauthentic talk of Winnie
Smith asking for a change Of venue when
his case was called for trial He was seen
at the Jail yesterday, and said so far as
he knew there was no truth in the reports.
He said he saw no reason why he should
not be able TO secure a fair trial in this
county. He believes. time goes by, peo-
pie will come to believe that there are two
sides TO the case and Will be willing 10
wait till they hear his story. which will
not be told till the trial. before they con-
denim his act. He believes he was justified
in killing Thomas A few of his intimate
friends call at the jail 10 see him every
day, but the number Of callers has ma
terially decreased.

TROUBLES OF THE HENNEBERGERs.
The Wife Attempts Suicide by Cutting
Her Throat.

Mrs. Della Henneberger attempted to kill
herself Thursday night, by cutting her
throat with a razor. at No. 40 Beacon
street, Indianola, where she is living with
her father, Contractor Evans. Several
months ago her husband, Frank Henne-
berger, shot John Baker, who he thought
was too familiar with his wife, in front of
No. 467 South Capitol avenue, where the
former was then living. Henneberger was
tried on a charge of assault and battery
with intent 10 kill, but was acquitted. Dur
ing the trial evidence was introduced that
caused him to believe that his wife was
not faithful and he disappeared in a few
days. His wife went TO live at the above
number. She was very Respondent over
her domestic troubles and intended to kill
herself by cutting her throat. A horrible
cash was made by the razor. She is very
weak from the loss Of blood, but il is
thought she will recover. Several years
ago Mrs. Henneberger figured as a female
detective in alleged murder case.

-FOUR MILE LIMIT LAW.
Point Raised i'm Police Court on "a
ROard House Case.

In the Police Court, yesterday afternoon.
argument was had upon the question of the
authority of the city to make arrests for
a violation of the liquor laws within four
miles of the city limits. The argument was
in tho case against Jack Christian. Will
liam Herod appeared for the defendant,
and argued that the present ordinance was
a discrimination against those persons
more than two miles from the city limits.
Under the old charter the city was given
jurisdiction within two miles of the city
limits, and an ordinance, the existing one,
was passed while this charter was in eff
feet. The new charter gives the city juris-
diction within four miles, but no ordinance
has been passed in conformance with this
provision, and the defense contends that
in this way there is a discrimination in
favor of those persons more than two and
less than four miles from the city limits.
The case was taken under advisement.

The Russian Army.

According TO The SWEET, a st. Pc
tersburg paper, Russia, unlike other
European countries, Incorporates in
the army only one-fourth of the
young men who are drafted every
year when they reach the legal age
for military service. The recruiting
in 1899 enlisted 76S, 672 ~conscripts,
but only 260, 800 were actually sent
into the ranks. OF these 1875, 600 were
Orthodox, 6 1000 I~sraelites and 1900
Mohammedans. The Russian army
is therefore composed of men belong
ing to the national religion. There
were also in the contingent called to
service in 1892 1893, 900 men of pure
Russian origin, 1900 Poles, 1900
Germans. 10000 Jews. 3,6S9 BASH
kires and a small number of Lithu
anians. Tartars, etc, so that the Rus
sian army can be considered as being
quite homogeneous in regard to its
nationality.
