mayor said the railroads were TO meet
here to consider certain propositions.
Mr.. Burgess called for fair treatment,
and asked for 1000 a. M, session next
morning to hear what he should then
be able to say. The mayor said he lad
a telegram from Manager Thorne stat
ting that the proposed franchise inter-
fered with the T. q P. interests Judge
Coldwell did not favor any postpone:
ment. Mr.. Burgess was not claiming
Ninth street, and no object was to be
gainei by putting off for 15 days. 1t
was the best time for the city TO deal
with the two interests when the iron
was hot: so let us attend to 1T now.
Mr.. Hawkins said he would put up
SIC, 900 today or tomorrow if the coun-
Gil would not do anything calculating
to jeopardize the Eddy interests.
There was motion by Mr.. Whit
more to postpone until after October l,
and an amend ment by Judge Coldwell
called for postponement only until next
Thursday. The latter was lost TO B.
Judge Coldwell held Il delay of two
weeks was to the interest of Mr.. Eddy
rather than to the city After discus
sion, it was finally decided on Judge
Cold wells motion to meet at p. m. :,
Wednesday, to hear what bob petit
TONERS had to say relative to deposit
or guarantee of good faith, and what
ever else they might propose to do.
The ordinance providing for refund
ing taxes on water works bonds was
brought up. Mr.. Whitmore held that
if the money was allowed on taxes, it
would run the levy short next year.
Judge Coldwell held every cent should
be paid back to the tax payers. 1t is
unlawfully held from them and is due
without any strings on them. 1t is not
our money and we can be sued for it.
There was lengthy dispute as to how
the money should be distributed and
the matter was laid over till Thursday.
Mr.. Whitmore reported selling for
S75 the artesian we'll cable which orig
inrlly cost $S7 Sale ratified.
Mr.. Whitmore called attention to OBJ
struction of sidewalks by builders
which was resulting in law suits from
people falling over such obstruction
in the dark. The ordinance committed
will attend to the matter.
Mr.. Whitmore, for the committee OF
streets and grades, reported adversel.
on the petition of Ellis Bros. for leave
to set up sign post on the street.
The mayor said the chief of poles
would see that lights were set out Oh
sidewalks made dangerous by reason
of building operations.

Mr.. Rose on the Assault.

A HERALD reporter met Mr.. w. w
Rose This morning, and Learning he
was in the City of Mexico on the 10th
inst, inquired about the attempted as
sassinatIon of President Diaz and the
lynchipg of the murderer. Mr.. Rose
thought that the reports that had gone
out as to the excitement in the city were
much exaggera' ed. He said the process
sion with the president walking be.
tween the ministers and about four
blocks up the streets before arriving at
the alameda. He did not see the diff
6cully, but was told by those who had
that the man who attacked the presi-
dent acted as though he were
a drunk en- Mexican, walking out into
the street AID striking the president
on the back of the neck with his list
two or three times. MIR. Roses lnfor-
mant saw no knife on the assallant. A
great many people in Mexico were OF
he opinion that it was more OF d
drunken frolic caused by man who
like many of the lower MeXlcans,
showed rough manner of familiarity,
and had TO malice or evil Intention
against the president
Mr.. Rose did not learn OF the attack
on the president for some little time.
