City Attorney Bird was given leave to
file an amended answer in the Topeka
Waterworks Company case yesterday by
Judge Foster. The city was made a
party in the foreclosure case on the
ground that the hydrant rental should
have been applied on the debt and not
paid to the company. The bondholders
claimed that the city is liable for hydrant
rental amounting to about &c., OO0 The
answer, City Attorney Bird thought,
practically admitted that the city should
have paid the money to the bondholders
and would have bound the city to pay ii

hot WATER IN A CROSSING FIGHT
Employees of a Pipe Line and a Rail-
road in Pitched Battle.
Special to the Jersey City News,


WASHINGTON. Oct. %. 1S95.-Differ-
ences between the Delaware, Lackawan-
ma & Western Railroad Company n the
United States Pipe Line Company over
the later conhpany's effort to lay it's oil
pipes under the railroad resulted in a
riot here yesterday afternoon, and a
number of employees of both corporations
were badly injured. The Pipe Line Com
pany is extending its line from the Penn
sylvania oil fields to tidewater. In pass
ing through Washington the line runs
trough a farm located on both sides of
the railroad. The owner granted the
right of way, but the Railroad Company
objected to the pipes being laid under its
tracks. The Pipe Line Company laid
pipes on Saturday through a wagoaway
under the tracks.
The railroad company got a force of
men together yesterday and started to
tear up the pipe. The pipe line people
rushed employees to the scene, drove off
the r~ailroaders and hauled wagons to
the driveway. Hot water from engines
was thrown on the horses and the riot
followed. Several men were hurt. After
a few hours a second light occurred, and
a number. more were hurt. Last night
the situation was serious. n both sides
are awaiting developments.
