in the Outskirts of the City and
Sell the Vine Street Land.
Alderman Jewell has a scheme to get
new workhouse for nothing and have pos
sibly snug sum left. He will offer res
olution at the next meeting of the council
providing for the appointment of a COM
mittee consisting of the mayor, city comp
troller and superintendent of buildings, to
investigate the feasibility of selling the
present workhouse site and buying tract
of ground in the suburbs of the city and
erecting a new workhouse thereon.
If Alderman JEWELS plan is not carried
out money will be apportioned at the be-
ginning of the fiscal year to build a new
workhouse on the present site. An ordi
nance was introduced in the council a year
ago appropriating $4,000 for this purpose
and Superintendent of Buildings Love has
prepared plans for handsome building.

The same amount OF land could be bought
in several sections of the southeastern part
of the city for at least one-fourth what the
ground now occupied would bring.
There are about seven and one-half acres
of land in the four blocks comprising the
workhouse property. This would make
ninety-six twenty-five foot lots. A very rea-
sonable figure, $50 per foot, has been sug-
gested, or $4,000 for the entire tract. 1t is
asserted that with the workhouSe removed
and the property divided into lots it would
readily bring at least $40. 900. The city paid
$4,000 for the three and one-half acres in

nearer the center of the city, and on which

WoRDY WAR WITH FITzHUGH.

At a heated conference between Post
master Fitzhugh and T. B. Daily, post
master of the South side station, Monday
morning, Mr.. Daily rendered his resigna-
ton under protest. The matter has been
kept quiet as ii was hoped that the diner-
ences between the two postmasters might
be satisfactorily settled. The trouble. IL is
claimed, grew out of officious acts on the
part of Postmaster Fitzhugh. When Dr.
Fitzhugh returned from Washington he
called on Postmaster Daily and informed
him that a detrimental report had been
filed with the department against him. Mr..
Daily accused FitzhIgh of filing the re-
port. Fitzhugh denied this ard said he had
a copy of the report in his pocket, which
Daily requested to see. He asked to be
given a chance to exonerate himself from
any blame. Fitzhugh refused and told him
there would be a proper time for all that
When Fitzhugh refused to show the re-
port Daily insisted. Fitzhugh made dash
for the door, but Daily beat him there and
locked the door and put the key in his
pocket He again asked TO see the report.
Fitzhugh finally turned it over to him. The
substance of it was that Daily had failed led
morning. The complaint was from Fitz-
hugh.

Trained from assaulting him. However, ne
passed several uncomplimentary remarks
about the actions of Fitzhugh, and in
formed him that he, Daily, would serve no
longer as postmaster of the South SIDE
station. Fitzhugh attempted to smooth
things over without avail.
Postmaster Daily, when seen yesterday,
admitted the truthfulness of the above.
He stated that he did not know whether
or not Fitzhugh had accepted his resig-
nation but said that it was made in good
faith. A rumor TO the effect that Fitzhugh
visited the department at Washington and
suggested that Daily's salary be applied to
the bond of the late Postmaster Frank
Mapes reached the ear of Daily and in
creased his wrath. Daily was one of
Mapes' bondsmen. The Republican aspir-
ants for Futzhugh's position will profit by
the scrap between the two postmasters, as
Daily will prove valuable witness against
FitZhugh when proceeding are brought to
oust him. Daily is in possession of certain
communications from the postmaster
which will no doubt be sufficient to war
rant his removal when the proper time
comes.
Since the disagreement between the post
master and Daily, F. j. Smith has been
attending to the duties of the South side
station.

SEA is EATING 1T UP.
Cobb's Island, n Famous Virginia
Coast Summer Resort, Doomed
to AnnihiIation.

Richmond, Va. Feb. 1O.-(Cobb's island,
a famous summer resort and life-saving
station, six miles off the Virginia coast, in
the Atlantic ocean, seems to be doomed
to annihilation by the action of the sea.
A terrific storm swept the island last Oc-
tober. wrecking the main hotel and flood
ing the island. making trench across its
center. Since then the disintegration has
been steady, until recently, when the high
tides submerged the island and washed
nearly all the buildings into the surf. The
hotel, church and a number of cottages
have been destroyed, and the life-saving
station and a few cottages are all that is
left. The captain of the life-saving sta
says there is no longer any doubt that the
island is doomed and only phenomentl
bly, restore it. The life-saving station
which was recently moved back from the
encroaching sea, is less than 200 feet from
the waves.

Speaker Smith is going to get after the
Metropolitan Street Railway Company.
This is something of fad with the gen.
tleman from the Ninth ward, but he is
invariably in earnest, though usually un-
successful. This time he is going TO see
whether the city cannot compel the COM
pany to sell 3-cent communication tickets
good during two hours in the morning
and at the close of working hours
A bill is now pending in the legislature
to compel the street railway companies of
ST. Louis to make this concession to la
borers and others who are compelled to
use the street railways at certain hours
every day Speaker Smith said yesterday
that he had given the matter considerable
attention and as soon as he could ger
around to it he would institute the proper
proceedings in the council. He gave it as
his opinion that the charter gave the city
the undoubted right to regulate street rail-
way fares.
City Counselor McDougal said that he
had not investigated the subject and until
he had he did not want to express an opin-
ion, but he was of the opinion in a gem
eral way that the charter enables the coun-
ell to exercise exclusive control over the
streets OF the city and that this power en-
ables it to. regulate fares.

opinion that the charter gave the city the
right to reduce fares within reason.

IncIemcnt Weather Brings the Matter
of Grading Lexington Street
Again Before the Public.

Lexington street, which thoroughfare
has been a matter of contention in city
affairs for some time, is engaging atten-
tion again. Whenever it rains the street
is almost impossible. When it is dry the
matter of Improvement is given little at
tention. The condition of the street and
the reasons for non-improvement are many
and varied. Mayor Millard claims that the
street should be graded. but If it is graded
the cash on hand in the city treasury will
not Offset the damage suits that would be
filed. Another reason given out is that the
railroad is not willing to cooperate until
the balance of the city is improved. 1t is
further claimed to macadamiZe the street
as it now stands would be bad engineering.
