The business in the several courts Monday was interesting both as ro the new way of settling law suit, adducing facts as evidence, and new points of law-to some lawyers.

When however, the dey for the trial arriv- ed a change of venue was applied for aud granted The case was transferred as per agreement of parties interested therein to Vance's court.
 A month ago or more the day for trial again arrived, but in VanceS court this time A continuance was asked and the sane was grant ed. The second time the case came up in Vances court continuance was asked by the other party to have the case set for trial on Sept. 25. 1899; this was also granted by Judge Vance.

\ NEW BRIDGE OR AN UNDERGROUND PAS. SAGEWAY SHOULD BE
 BUILT FROM
SECOND TO SIXTH AVENUE
Has Been the Cause of Many Peo- pie Leaving Their Summer
 Home to Rent Others.

Our attention has been called to the great inconvenience the peo- pie of the East Eud exp erience in going from East Second avenue to Sixth and from Sixth to Second.
 They desire to pass in straight line instead of having to walk 10 blocks out of their way. The 9th avenue high school, where the chil- dren on Second attend can be reach. ed only by their going. in around about way, covering at least 15 or Is blocks, This can be averted, it seems. The impossibility to cross directly over to the school is due to the railroad tracks of the Cot ton Belt. the fencing around the same from the Bayou down to the shops, and the cars that are always on the tracks of the Cotton Belt. Children will not endaneer their lives by crawling under these cars to reach the Sixth aye. school, hence the necessity of their going out of their way to the extent they do, which will work many hardshpis on them during The winter months, not to speak of present weather.
 The children who attend this school are for the most part those of railroad men working at the Cot ton Belt shops and on the road, and owing to the condition that now ex- ists great many of them have been compelled to lose time at their work in order tose"ure house on Sixth avenue for the school term, thus causing them to break up their home which they have occupied during the summer months.
 This works hardships on the men as well as the children. Some rem edy should be devised whereby they l could five near the shops and their children attend school just the same Ic's dangerous thing for the chil- dren to crawl under the cars to reach the school, but this they will have to do unless they come up to Missouri street or above the Bayou bridge to cross.
