FOR AND AGAINST A SIDING.
MEssRs. SALISBURY. BYRNE AND
BALL TALK BEFORE THE
STREET AND SEWER DIRECTORS.

BALL TALK BEFORE THE
STREET AND SEWER DIRECTORS.
Delegations for and against the sid
ing from the Wilmington and Northern
railroad across Monroe street applied
for by F. Blumenthal & Co. were be-
fore the Street and and Sewer Depart
ment last night. Mr.. Salisbury repre-
sented F. Blumenthal & CO., and stated
that 1t was absolutely necessary for his
clients TO have this privilege granted.
He stated that this is a business firm
that employs many hundreds OF men
ana Is the only establishment in the
city that has been runnig cOnsecutively
for ten years. He further urged that
the application be granted.
Judge Ball appeared for a client who
owns property at Chestnut and Monroe
streets. He said that if the siding were
laid it would damage the property OF
his client. He recognized the benefit
of f. Blumenthal & Co. to the commu-
nifty, but he was forced to say that this
was entirely a selfish move The Judge
cited the recent fatality at the Pennsyl-
vania avenue grade crossing, and that
this siding would create something that
would, as many others have. be a death
trap regardless OF the precautions that
might be taken. One fatality would be
much more harmful to the community
than even the removal of the works OF
this company.
William Michael Byrne appeared in
behalf Of many clients in the vicinity
CT Reed and Monroe streets, and pre-
sented petition against the LAYING of
the siding signed by nmher of prop
erty holders. He also made a strong
plea against the granting Of the appli-
cation. He claimed that the city would
in no way be benefited by the laying Of
the siding, but on the other hand. a
death trap would be created.
Mr.. Patzowsky also made scme re-
marks in support of the granting cf
the application. No action was taken.
The question as to how Broome street
should be spelled was raised. The
prevalent spelling is "Brcome" " but this
is disputed by the fact that James w.
Broom, for whom the street was named.

BED BY WOMEN.
Last night the ST. Joseph Polish So
ciety gave a ball in Turn Hall. The az.
fair nearly ended IN a "free-for-all"
fight, which the women had more to do
with than the men.
Things went along In q quiet and or
derly manner until about 1l3O. when a
well-knCWn young man about town
stepped up to a woman and asked her
If she would dance the next dance with
him. She consented, and he sat be-
side her and began TO talk with her
Presently a Pole. who was labcring un-
der pretty large load of beer, came
up and asked the woman to dance with
him. She refused, saying that she was
engaged
This enraged the Pole who made a
vicious attack on the young man who
was talking to the woman. The police
officers. who were standing at the door
at once rushed into the crowd After
the officers had restored order several
young Poles ordered them from the
place The officers refused to go. In
the melee Officers Kelley and Aiken
were nearly mobbed by the women. OF.
fioer Kelley had eight women hanging
about him while putting one Of the
fighters out
The affair was disgraceful in the ex
treme. All over the building were
drunken Poles lying about. and thos,
who were not asleep were falling about
