WHY MIR. CONNER BROUGHT SUIT
AGAINST MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

AGAINST MAYOR AND COUNCIL.
Thomas d. Conner, who entered suit
against the Mayor and Council of VIII
mington, through his attorney, Walter
Bacon, has not suffered any personal
injury, but feels that $1,000 injustice
has been done him by the city OF Will
mington, for which II must make ret
ributlon.
Mr.. Conner who is a carbuilder with
the Jackson and Sharp Company,
built home on Shallcross avenue near
Broome street several years ago, first
obtaining, as he claims, his building
line from the city engineer.
His house stands on an elevation,
and when he built, the plan was to so
curve Shallcross avenue that this hill.
on which several properties were built,
would be avoided Now that the city q
population Is moving westward It has
become necessary to grade and line
Shallcross avenue, and the city au-
thorities have decided to cut straight
through instead of arching the street.
This puts Mr. Conner's home on a
bank twelve feet high, which he must
climb by steps, thus rendering tho
house untenantable by families with
children, or excavate twelve feet and
construct a lower story at an expense
of 81 500 or more. The progress OF
this case will be watched with much
interest.
Mr. Conner claims that the city has
no right to establish a new grade tc
the damage of private property; thai
he cannot blast through tons OF roci
to come to their change grade; thai
the city cannot forever keep an oper
quarry in front of his house.

The committee waited on Bishop
Curtis last night, and James Mclvor
was spokesman. He expressed the sor-
row of the order upon the bishops re-
tirement, and asked the blessing Of his
reverence.
Bishop Curtis replied, saying that he
felt proud of the estimation in which
he was held by the Hibernians. "As to
my successor" he said, you will find
in him a man with more capabilities
than have. l do not say that he will
allow himself to become directly inter
ested in you, but / am sure you will
have his best wishes" The bishop then
spoke of the Irish race and said that
he, no doubt, was descended from
Irish people. 81 must say that among

The question was put and Pastor
Montgomery was sustained by vote

successor has been appointed. Dur
ing the four years incumbency of

official. Upon entering upon the
duties of the Office of register he
found the business from two to six
months behind. With a decreased
clerical force and an increasing vol
time of business he has managed to
expedite matters until now the Of
