JOURNALS RUFFIAN|SM.
Purposely Distorts Facts In
an Attempt to Injure the
Rev. E. T. Stoddard.

Another outrage and one which no news
paper with any degree of self respect
would be guilty of was perpetrated by the
Journal last evening. upon the Rev. F.
r. Stoddard. Its account Of the Miles,
West wedding yesterday, was nothing
more or less than a deliberate distortion
Of facts for the purpose Of getting
sauareo with the reverend gentleman for
daring to criticize its dishonest and ruff
fanly method OF publishing false news.
II was. of course. to be expected that
the "Journal' would endeavor to get even
with Rev. Mr.. Stoddard for his exposure
of IT'S peculiar methods. But It was hard
" TO be expected that it would again at
tack him without being a little careful Of
the truth of its assertions.
The true facts IN the case of the Miles
West marriage are here set forth. Edwin
Miles and Lizzie West have been members
Of Mr.. Stoddard's parish for years. lhe
two people did not therefore run OH 20
some strange Clergyman but were married
by their " rector. Mr.. Miles called 10
see about the marriage last week. Sir-
Stoddara at once asked If the parents
were willing. and was told that the prldes
narents had not been asked. He at once
told Mr.. Miles to get their consent be-
fore he could perform the ceremony, and
Mr.. Miles agreed to do So On SUNDAY
morning he old the rector that MI. ana
Mrs. West had no objection to the mar
riage. and the time was therefore set Tor
Sunday afternoon, at four O'Clock me
marriage was a public one, in St. Johns
Gburch. in the middle of the afternoon.
Besides the chosen witnesses three o1her
people were present. and they congratu-
lated the bride and groom after the event
was over. The wedding was talked Of by
other interested parties during sunday
AFTERNOON and evening. The marriage was
therefore not a clandestine. but a pubic
one. If. as has been asserted, MI. ana
Mrs. West did not know of it, it is not the
fault Of h rector of st. Joints, who re-
fused to take any steps in the matter IN
til he was assured that h had given
their consent.

MAYOR STANDS FIRM.
Refuses to Sign the Agree
ment With the Crew
Levick Go.
TRACK LAYING WILL Be STOPPED
Spur From the Oil Factory to
the Erie Railroad Again
Causes Discussion.
TRACK LAYING WILL Be STOPPED

Some time ago the Crew Levick Com
pany. Of this city, asked permission TO
lay a spur track across the western end
Of Thirteenth street, from their oil yard
to the Erie Railroad.
The Street n Water Board passed a
resolution giving the ompan permission
but the Mayor vetoed 1t. In pursuance Of
the resolution an agreement was drawn
up between the city and the company,
and was sent to the Mayor for signature.
His Honor sent this reply to the Board,
and it was received at yesterdays meet
ing
Gentlemen&There has been presented
for my signature an agreement pc
tween the city and the Crew Levick
Company securing to that
the right to lay a railroad track across
a strip of land owned by the party OF
the first part near the head of Seven
teenth street; the consideration given
to the city is "ene dollar. When the
resolutions upon which this agreement
is based were presented to nc | ex-
is high time that this city derived
some revenue from every special priv
ilege given in our streets, and | shah
decline to sign this agreement Until
! an ordered to do so by judicial au-
thority. Merry respectfully.
EDWARD HOOS, Mayor.
There is likely to be a hitch i'm the mat
ter of the crossing because by the agree
ment with the city no work can be begun
on the track until the agreement is prop
erly executed by the cfty's officers and
approved by the Corporation Counsel.
Since the Mayor refused to sign the
agreement the company cannot lay that
track.
Or the other hand, it is contended that
since the Board has passed the resolution
over the Mayors veto His Honor has no
option IN the premises and signing IT
would not involve any incensistency Of
conduct.
