theme Of discussion hello last night at

THE ORDINANCE is 4 FARCE.

Victims of the snow-oleanlDR Law.
Edward Took the Pledge and Escaped
The city ordinsnce which prescribes a
fne for neglectiDg to clean snow and Ice
from sidewalks within ten hours after
the feecy covering has ceased to fall, is a
thorn in the side of all concerned. To
the property agents 1t Is an annoyance,
inasmuch as by 1t much valuable time is
lost, and at the same time a source of
amusement in that 1t is so easy to evade
1t. To the officers it is a cause of
great inconvenience for the reason that
time is taken in hunting up cases and
attending court all in vain In the majority
of instances The court has tn sit and listen
to the attempts of the city solicitor to ix
the blame on prominent citizens, who
EARLY prove that they were not cognizant
Of the property being vacant and even
the reporters are forced TO opend time
which could be put to better advantage,
attending the trials The ordinance Is
loosely drawn and until il is patched ur
so as to make some one liable, had bstie er
be relegated to innocuous desuetude.
Out of score of cases, the last two OF
which were tried this morning, only half
dozen were held to be liable, and they
would not have been had they contested
the cases.
Only one case calling for the use Of the
scales was before Judge Ball this
morning, and that was OF Edward T.
Collins, who was srraigned on complaint
Of his brother for drunkenness. He
asked TO be allowed to take the pledge
and was allowed to go on that condition.
At the request Of the brother his name
was placed on the black list.

The Attack on Colored Woman, By a
Dog. Said to Belong 20 Joseph Pyle,
Largely CoIored.
Annie Slaughter, a colored woman,
was reportedat police headquarters
last evening, as having been attacked
by vicious dog owned by Joseph
Pyle, The story as told by the
woman was that she was passing
Second street and Grant avenue
when the dog jumped at her and, after
throwing her to the ground, tore her
clothing, lacerated her legs, and but for
the help of men who came to her rescue
might have seriously injured her.
A representative OF Mr. Pyle made to
an EVENING JOURNAL reporter this
morning the folio wing statement:
THE account Of the attack on the
colored woman as given in the Morning
News is highly sensational and largely
without foundation, In fact what you
would call a fake. The dog was a
watch dog, and as such naturally resented
the entrance of strangers in the yard.
BE had never caused any trouble except
where he was expected to. We are very
much troubled with tramps and it was
the dogs business to keep them out.
There seems to be considerable
question as to where the woman was at
the time Of the attack. She says she
was In the lane but the dog had
slwsys stayed in the yard, and the
belief Is that the woman was inside at
the time. There were two dogs there at
the time and the domestic, who called
Mr. Pyle's dog in Immediately after the
incident. believes it was the other dog
that inflicted the injuries.
"Now as for the injuries, the woman
was not bsdly hurt, nor was she in any
danger of serious injury at any time.
Mr.. Pyle has had a physician attend her
and will stand all the expense The dog
has been killed
DR.. Elbert, who attended the woman,
stated this afternoon that while the
woman's leg was quite badly lacerated,
she was resting quietly and no serious
results were apprehendsd She lives at
Silverbrook. but at present is stopping
at the house Of Charles Baynsrd, No. 2O0a
