vote. which he did against the motion,
on the ground of expense. The grad
ing would cost 800 to $3.50, besides
the S4O0 for the culvert. Aid. Him
melman also voted no.
Engineer Haynes thought that the
grading would cost $50 to $75 in case
the culvert was built entirely across
the street.
Aid. Zimmerman moved that the
width of the culvert be fixed at %
feet, and this received but three
votes and was declared lost.
Mayor Weaver then changed his
ruling and declared Aid Peterson's
motion carried, no appropriation be-
ing carried by the motion, and there
fore majority vote being sufficient
City Attorney Pau held that this
ruling was correct.
Aid. Bradley brought up the Madi-
son avenue matter again by moving
that the new track to the lime kiln
shall not be laid more than "a feet
from the line of block al, and that
the charge be made before July 1st
next. This was agreeable to all in
terested, and was carried, after a
long consultation over the map.
Aid Zimmerman said that this
was the last meeting for redistricting
the voting precincts that cast over
400 votes at the last election, if it
was to take effect at the spring cleo
tion. The wards effected were the
Second, Fourth and Fifth.
The ordinance requiring the de-
posting of 800 with the city before
any franchise or privilege shall be
granted, to be forfeited in case OF
failure, was given it's second reading
and was passed.
The report of the board of public
works, made last November,
favorable to the opening of connec-
tion between Poplar street and
Mound avenue, the cost being esti-
mated at 5000, was read. Engineer
Haynes said that the Omaha road had
deposited the money and that there
would be no expense to the city. The
matter was referred to the board to
secure bids.
Aid. Zimmerman brought up the
redistricting matter again, and the
law was read, requiring this to be
done at least six weeks before any
city election.
City Recorder Brown stated that
last November the Second ward cast
APT votes, the Fourth cast 432 votes,
and the Fifth cast 472 votes.
Aid. Bradley said that no COM
plants had been made, not as many
votes would be cast at the next cleo
tion, and if the wards are divided the
cost of election would be much more.
City Attorney Pau saidsthat the
object of the law was to allow every
body to vote, and athat if everybody
could vote without redistricting there
was no object Of, going to the expense.
The legality of the election would not
be affected if the city was not redis-
tricted.
On motion, the matter was laid
over until the next meeting, and if
there is no desire shown on the part
of the people for more voting pre-
cincts, no change will be made.
The action of the committee on
ways and means in borrowing 81, 200
was approved.
The council adjourned.

Graves Left Open. u IL said. Until There Arc
Bodies Enough to III Them.

MoUNT VERNoS. y. Y. Oct. 17.-Complaint
has been made to the Board OF Health by Robert
Cnttcrsou. a manufacturer Of monuments and
tonbs,oncs, against the method OF burying the
dead at the New York lnfant Asylum here. Tho
average death rate Is about ten children a
month. MIR. Catterson in his complaint to tho
board says:
The manner Of burying the Infants is revolt
ing. have often been shocked and disguised
al bchoiding open graves par ly filed with pine
boxes containing dead bodies. These graves
are often allowed 10 remain oDen a week or
more until there are enough collins deposited to
NIL the graves. This brings the bodies 10 within
n few feet OF the surface. so that there is only a
meagre covering of earth, certainly much less
than the six feet required by Law"
A representative o THE Sun visited the asy.
lum to-day and found one open grave covered
with oilcloth. Superintendent SYLVAN admitted
there had been some neglect in iii ng this grave
by the workmcn in ,hIree, but that 1t wou! be
attended 10 at the earliest possible moment.
The IN tier will come up at the meeting of tho
board next Friday.

JuFees W uAuEeTouniy.
Ernest Plath. a grocer at 81 Rivington street.
drove a spirited horse attached TO q road wagon
up to Harlem yesterday afternoon to visit a
friend living in Hath street. near Seventh
avenue. He left the horse in charge OF q boy
while he went into the house.
Tho horse became frightened and dashed
across to Seventh avenue, whore 1t turned
south, running madly. Mounted Policeman
MCGEE caught up with it at l4lst street and
seized the bride Us he spurred alongside. Two
blocks beyond the bride broke and the
race continued. The avenue was crowded
with all manner Of vehicles. At 135th street
the runaway caught up to the wagon OF Charles
Thompson. a retired business man OF 50 Charl-
ton street, who was driving with Daniel w.
Edsall. IL friend. MCGEE yelled to them TO clear
the way.
Thompson wheeled into l35th street, knocking
over Mrs. Richard Fletcher. who was on n bi-
cycle. A second later and the wagon drawn by
the runaway hit the rear wheels OF Thompson's
wagon. Thompson flew over the dashboard and
Edsall was thrown out sideways.
Thompson's horse joined the runaway and
they raced TO l3lst street. where Policeman Nc
Gee caught Plath's horse and Policeman Hunt
corralled Thorn pson's horse.
Thompson sustained conclusion of the brain.
He was unconscious when picked up. His con.
dition is dangerous. Mrs. Fletcher and Edsall
were cut and bruised, but were not seriously
injured.
