IT WANTS THE STREET
PENNSYLVANIA REQUEST TO LAY
TRACKS ACROSS DELAWARE.
Terms of Electric Contracts Agreed
ing of the Canal-MunicipaI Notes.

The Pennsylvania Railway Company has
petitioned the Board of Public Works to al
low ii TO lay tracks across South Della
ware street, between Virginia avenue and
the Union tracks, in order that access may
be had to the Snker-Davis property which
it has recently purchased The company
contemplates spending very large sum of
money in erecting rev freight depots. 1t
is also likely that arrangements will be
made to provide for all the offices in the
building, if it is erected. 1t is estimated
that the company will spend $500 600 or more
in making these improvements. Mayor
Taggart and the board went over the
ground yesterday afternoon to get an idea
Of what street changes the plan will en-
tail. The company will probably want to
lay five tracks. Efforts have been made
by successive city administrations to con-
centrate the tracks, in order to keep streets
in the center of the city as clear of rail-
roads possible. The Mayor said last
night that the question is a very knotty
one, and that the board has come to no
conclusion. For his own part, the Mayor
said that he knew the railroads have done
much to build up the city, and he felt in
clined to do anything reasonable TO assist
them 1t might be possible, he said, for
| the Pennsylvania Company to get access to
the Sinker-Davis property by coming in
from the west but that plan would be fully
as Objectionable, if rot more so, as the
tracks would have to cross Pennsylvania
street. The railroad company is very anx-
ious to be given the right of way across
the street. as this would place the Sinker-
Davis ground in direct communication with
it's present freight yards
The Mayor said last night that he had
not given any thought to the request OF
the Indianapolis, Logansport Chicago
railroad for a right of way into the Union
Station, and that that question will prob
ably be taken up next week.

Suit was brought against the city Of In

afternoon 70 collect damages amounting TO
1880. which she alleges she has suffered
by the action of the Board of Public Works
in opening and extending the south half
of the street below Crown Hill Cemetery.
from Senate to Northwestern avenue. The
plaintiff alleges that she demonstrated
against the Improvement. which contem-
plates the confiscation OF strip of land
twenty-five feet wide by $50 feet long from
the north end of a fruit and garden farm
belonging to her.
Her complaint alleges that number of
valuable fruit trees will have to be cut
down, and that she will have TO build go
feet of high board fence to protect her
self and her orchard from thieves and
marauders. Heretofore the fence at the
line OF the cemetery has been sufficient
protection Mary ]. Larsen alleges that
her damages from thieves alone will
amount to more than sl,oo0 while the
board assessed her total damages at $50 in
spite of her remonstrance. She claims that
the board did not take cognizance of the
expense she would be put TO in building
fences. and did not consider the value of
the trees which will have to be cut away.
For the purposes OF garden farming she
alleges that the land is worth s.. 900 an
acre. and that strip containing one
sixth or an acre, worth 1893, has been con-
fiScated by the board

BOY THIEVES.
Three OF Them Tried i'm the Criminal
Court Yesterday.

AT the Criminal Court yesterday several
boys were tried for larceny. John Snyder
and George Stewart were tried by the
court for stealing pocket-knives, cigars, to-
bacco and other merchandise from the
store of Sylvester FELTON,. June q. Snyder
is seventeen years old and his companion
is eighteen. Snyder has been before the
court before on two other occasions.
Finding yesterday that he would not be
liberated, he broke down and blamed
Stewart for his trouble, explaining that
Stewart gave him the stolen goods which
were found in his possession. While he
was crying, Stewert was put on the stand
and took all the blame on himself. Stew
art said. however. that Snyder told him his
key would unlock Mr.. Feltons store. Mrs.
Stewart went on the stand and testified
in her boys behalf. She said that her hus-
band had driven them away from home
and that they existed the best way they
could Snyder was sentenced 10 the work
house for seven months and Stewart for
ninety days. Both were fined SIS. Snyder S
father was in court and pleaded for his
boy. When the boy vas sentenced his
father left the courtroom crying.
Stewart BARLEY. q colored boy twelve
years old, was tried for highway robbery.
The testimony showed that BARLEY has
been in the habit OF sHatching money and
pocket books from newsboys younger than
himself. He was allowed to go on sus-
pended judgment. Judge McCray warned
him to keep out of mischief in the future.

himself popular with the employees in the
different departments by his methods of
getting the good will of those under him.
AS result he seldom has men up for disci-
pline, and when they are called before him
they are treated in such a manner that
they leave his Office feeling good natured
and that they are not under a superin-
tendent whose chief idea is to show that
he is their superior, not only in authority
but in ability as railroad man. This was
exemplified with MIR. Peck in a case which
came before him shortly after he sue
ceeded j. j. Turner as superintendent of
the Pittsburg division and before the men
knew much about him. Mr.. Peck had oc-
