THE STREET CAR HOLD.UP

No CIew to the Highwaymen Discovered by
the Police Detectives
There were no new developments in the
attempted hold-up of the University cleo
trio car Wednesday night. Detectives
Auble and Hawley are at work on the case,
but so far they have been unable to get the
slightest clew to the would-be robber. Con-
ductor Welker received many compliments
yesterday for the manner in which he
acted and the presence of mind displayed
in dealing with the highwaymen.
Frank Manning, who lives on kiugsley
street, near where the attempted hold-up
occurred, was seen yesterday, and said that
about IL o'clock Wednesday night he
heard some disturbance in his back yard
and went out to investigate. He took with
him as q weapon . hatchet. After looking
around for about Eve minutes he dlscov-

man to come down. at the same
time throwing the hatchst at him,
which went wide Of its mark. The man,
however, did net linger in tho tree, but
jumped down upon the shed and thence
into the street. He had gone but short

THE CANINE IN COURT
The Scott-Msuvais Dog Case Before Police

The Scott.Msuvais Dog Case Before Police
Judge Morrison
The Scott-Mauvais dog case was on trial
before Police Judge Morrison yesterday.
All the testimony was introduced, when
the matter was taken under advisement by
Judge Morrison. who will give his decision
this morning at 10 o'clock, when the mo.
mentous question at issue will be settled.
The dog in dispute was in court in the
custody of Bailiff Appel and took deep
interest in the proceedings.
The question to be settled by Judge
Morrison is the ownership of tone small

returned and took steps to recover posses-

that he did not care about the dog, any
way. Finally, one day, seeing the dog
gamboling on the green in Central park ,
Mauvais unceremouiously took possession
of the animal and carried him home. Scott
secured a search warrant. and the dog was
found, and taken ia charge by the police,
and the matter was taken into court for
final settlement.
At the trial yesterday there was some
tall swearing, the ladies of the two families
to the dispute fatly contradicting each
other, Mrs. Scott insisting that the dog had
been given to her outright, while the others
were equally positive that there was a

Joseph Moreno paid court to Mrs. L. M.

wanted the dog back. At the time he gave

and now Mrs. Mascarel has begun q suit
which brings the dog into court, where his
ownership will be determined.
A deputy constable went to Moreno's
house and seized the dog on claim and

pound, where he was to be taken care of
until the matter came up in court.

RECORDS AND SUGGESTIONS
The fact that previous to the execution
of this lease, for q period Of about three or
four years, the water works were out Of the
control Of the city, and the rates for water
were made by private individuals, pre-
vents the finding of any official records -
to what the rates at that time were; but
that the rates were considerably lower
would appear from the foregoing state
ment, and the water committee thinks 1t
would be Of value TO the city II public ses-
sions were held and those who were famil-
lar with the affairs of the municipal gov
ernment at the time this lease was exe-
cuted were requested to testify as to what
the rates were at that time. 1t 10 also suR-
gested that there might be found those
who would have the vouchers showing
their payments at that time. |
DON'T DEAL HARSHLY
The members of the water committee
and others about the city hall, 1t is said,
are already being approached with re-
quest not to deal harshly with the water
company, promises being made If the cor
poration is ''properly" treated.
