HORSE YELLOW
Strange Freak Of a Well
Known Lafayette
Woman.

James Weber, coal and wood dealer of
No 1G4 Monitor street, has an enemy who
has been prosecuting him relentlessly for
ago Weber purchased a new wagon and
had it handsomely decorated. He keeps
his horse, a sorrel in the stable of Isaac
Gilbert, No. 243 Pine street. The wagon
is left in the stable yard nights.
A few days after the new wagon was
received Weber on arriving at the sta
bic in the morning, found the sides Of
the vehicle all streaked with yellow
paint. He was furious. He at 1ifst
thought it the work Of some enemy and
then he concluded that it was merely
prank of some of the boys in the neigh
borhood. Two days later he found his
horse painted from head to tai with
paint OF the same gorgeous yellow nue..
Then he knew that it was not the work
of boys and reported the matter TO the.
police. The poor horse suffered toftures
its skin and caused the animal internal
pain. 1t took Weber half a day to scrub
the paint off When Captain Mclxais
learned of the affair he sent Detective
Hottie to investigate. lioltic had not
been on the case long before he got on
the track of the mischief maker. 70
his astonshfnent he learned that the
painting had been done by Il woman. She
had a srudge against Weber ana she
took that peculiar method of getting even
with him. Weber was ast0nished when
Hottie told him the result of his inyes-
legations; and was at first inclined to have
the woman arrested Tier reiatlves ap-
pealed to him, however, and promised to
make restitution so he promised not to
bring disgrace upon the woman S family
by prosecuting her. Weber's yellow horse
is the talk of the Lafayette section. II
is not likely that the coal dealer will be
fllrther ANNOYED.

GRADE CROSSING WRIT.
No Decision in the --latest
Phase Of the Connuni-
paw Avenue Case.
Mr.. THOMpSoN's CONTENTION
He Claims That Nothing Can
Be Gained by Advertising
the Ordinance.
aR. THOMpSON'S CONTENTION

The Communipaw avenue grade crossing
was before Justice I1ippincott this morn-
ing on an application made by former
Senator William D. Edwards for pernlis-
sion to have the ordinance published in
the official papers. Lawyer Charles L.
Corbin appeared with .Mr. Edwards in
the case and LAWYER Thompson appeared
for David W. Oliver, who is fighting the
ordinance.
Mr.. Edwards stated that a writ Of
eertiorari had been obtained to have the
ordinance reviewed by the Supreme Court
The ordinance was passed over the
Mayors veto ON the Sd inst The same
day Mr.. Thompson secured the writ from
Justice Lippincott. Mr.. Edwards ex-
planned that the object of making the
application today was 10 have the or
dlnance perfected. The charter requires
that all ordinances must be advertised
for ten days in the official papers in or
der to make them effective.
Mr.. Thompson said he was surprised
that the company should come to court on
such a trivial matter. Tine advertising
was not essential for the purpose ef hay
ing the ordinance reviewed.
Justice Lippincott suggested that il the
ordinance is not effective until advertised
perhaps the application for the writ was
somewhat premature.
Mr.. Edwards said that the law of 1855
expressly specifies that ordinance must.
be advertised. Mr.. Thompson said there
was nothing to be gained by advertising
except that it might give the company an
opportunity 70 put down their rails III
half an hour if the writ of certiorari IS
modified. There is no time fixed in the law
for advertising and the ordinance can be
as well advertised at any other time as
now. The ordinance is either good or bad.s
If the Court decides that It is good ii will
then be time enough to advertise IT,
Mr.. Corbin suggested that the ordinance
should be complete when it is presented
to the Supreme Court for review II it
is not complete the other side would have
an opportunity to apply for another writ
on the ground that It was defective be-s
cause not advertised in accordance with
the charter requirements.
Justice Lippincott said that having
granted the writ the Court was not dis
posed to cut the other side out from a
hearing The writ allowed only provides
for a review of the action taken up TO the
time of its allowance, and as Mr.. Cofabin
suggested there might remain a chance
for another writ unless the final action is
reviewed. He said lie would give his de-
cision on Saturday. Messrs Edwards and
Collins will apply on that day TO have the
writ set aside or modified.
