ing for hearing, after which Mr.. Ames
addressed the council He claimed that
the city was taking the surplus water
of the river over and above the necessi-
ties of the city. which belonged to the
riparian owners. and was selling the
same to Cinnamon south of the city

lation of the rights of the riparian own
ers. Mr.. Ames read extracts from su-
preme court decisions in support of his
position, conceding that while the city
has right to all the water in the river
if the same is needed for municipal pur-
poses, it has no right to ap-
propriate the surplus and sell
the same and turn the money into the
treasury The surplus water belongs to
the riparian owners, it is their property
and they cannot be legally deprived of
its use. He asked that the council re-
store to the owners their property.

ferred to the committee Of the whole.

Thomas II. Davis and William f.
Keogh, who control many of the popu-
lar melodramas of the day, presented
their sensational drama, 1.-THE Side
walks Of New York" to a good sized
audience at the Grand opera house last
evening. The play is crowded with In
cldents of danger and escape, with VII
lalny and courage, with sensation in It's
strongest form, and with considerable
run. The different characters are well
drawn and are mostly in the hands OF
capable people. The story is that or
New York life from the fashionable
residence to the Italian dive on Hester
street. The action discloses the perse-
cuted woman, the unfortunate and
bounded man, clever detectives and
some good comedy.
In Act H. specialties are introduced
by II. e. Davis, Harry Winsman and
Charles T. Aldrich. Winsmans whist
ling act and the song and dance by Da-
Wis We're taking features A we'll train

chic Allen as the italian was very clev-
er. 4, L. Aldrlch ana ii. IL. Davis are
very funny comedians and make capt.
tai detectives.
One of the features of the perform
ance was the dive taken from the tower
some forty feet above the stage into a
three-foot tank of water by K, P. Spec
dy, who impersonates the role of Jim,
the tower man, and at this time real
istically rescues the heroine from
drowning.
Miss Susie Willis as the Italians sis
ter, Miss Josephine Stoffer as Agnes
Pemberton and Miss Maggie LeClaiI
as the Irish girl were well placed and
favorably received.
There will be a matinee to-day, when

20 cents. The evening performance con-
cludes the engagement.
