A communication 70 the City Engineer
from Major T. 4. ID. Myers, president
of the Richmond Fredericksburg and Po-

that the provision in the agreement as
TO the narrowing OF the pavement on

panies run parallel SO as to leave space
between the side OF the railroad track
and the edge OF the curb-stOne' was
being disregarded, as the curbing was
being reset at its original width. lie said
he regarded this narrowing Of the side
walk as essential, as, unless II was done,
the steam-cars upon the tracks as laid
down would overlap the sidewalk, WhlCh
was inadmissible. Upon the grounds
mentioned Major Myers stated that the
railroad company would have to insist
upon the narrowing Of the sidewalk
A lengthy discussion ensued, and MT.

on Broad street be not less than the UNI
form width. The motion was agreed 10.

News was received at the morgue this
afternoon of the suicide of Eddie Nc
Cav of Livermore, who hanged himself
at that town after luncn.
When one of the employees of Robin
sons cigar-store went into a rear room he
saw the BODY of McCaw suspended from
the roof. 1t was at once seen that he was
dead. The lad was about u years old and
a son of Daniel McCaw, barkeeper of the
Ha ywarGs Hotel. Some years ago the
family lived in Oakland.
No letter or message was left by the de-
ceased to explain his act, and the only ex-
planation that can be even guessed at is
that he had been in a depressed state OF
mind for several days. caused by hearing
that his mother was sick. McCaw was
considered rather a wild young man and
1t is considered strange that the illness of
his mother affected him as it did. This
forenoon he was not at work, but at noon,
after getting his dinner, he went TO the
shop and took off his coat, as ii to go TO
work. He then went to his room, and
when he did no. at once reappear it was
supposed that be had gone out by a rear
door. Nothing was suspected until he was
found by Robinson hanging from the cell
ing dead. His mother is believed to be
in Pleasanton. She and her husband sep
arated some time ago. The inquest will
be held tomorrow.
