Attorney LaznrOn Speaks for ReIia-
biIity of the West End Railroad.
Alderman Davis statement that he did
not approve much of giving the West
End and Suburban Railroad any further
rights beca6se he did not regard the cor
poraiion as reliable, has called forth a
statement from Attorney Lazaron.
Mr. Lazaron takes exceptions to the re
marks of the chairman Of the committee
on streets and lanes THE reliability of
the company was shown" said he yes
terdav, by its prompt actions when the
city gave it forty-eight hours in which to
take up its tracks on Railroad street and
begin work under the new grant. II fully
met these arduous conditions. After eX-
pending several thousand dollars and
building on West Broad street as far as
faith with it and take away the grant 1t
had given. l might ask from this in
stance which is the more reliable?
IF the company Is not reliable" con-
tinued Mr. Lazaron, "its unreliability is
due 10 the oppressive actions of the pres
ent Council in placing heavy assessment
and taxation upon il. For Alderman
Davis benefit, though, l desire 20 say
that we have now at hand a half dozen
of the best kind of offers from reliable
local parties 10 construct the road with
out any delay as soon as the city gives
us the desired right TO use the streets,
and we also have a proposition under
guarantee, from responsible parties North
10 build US ten miles of road and equip il

MAY KEEP ESTTLL PARK.

Mayor MeIdrim Has Called Meeting
of Cornell to Consider 1t.
Mayor Meldrim conferred with the Park
and Tree Commission at the city exchange
yesterday with reference to a reconsidora-
ton of the city's relinquishing its claim
to Estill park. The conference lasted some
time, but 1t is not known what conclusion
was reached, other than that a special
meeting of the City Council will be held
Tuesday at 1 O'Clock to consider the mat
ter.
That the commissioners are heartily in
favor of retaining the property is pretty
generally understood Its prospective de-
velopment is a source of pride TO them,
aud is something in which their predeces-
sors took the deepest interest. DR.. George
II. Stone, formerly chairman of the com
mission, made frequent trips to the park,
and always considered it would eventually
be one of the prettiest of the citys subur-
ban resorts.
There is nothing that can properly be
given out about the conference" said
Mayor Meldrim, in speaking of it. Il have
called a special meeting of Council for
the time stated, when some definite con-
cluson viii be reached as to whether
Councils action will be reconsidered."

RAnRErr,s CLOSE cALL.
Fired Mt Twice by n Negro He Was
Trying to Arrest.

Detective james J. Barrett had the
closest call last night Of any in his ex-
ntrience as a city detective. Barrett was
walking along Broughton street about 6
o'clock when he was approached by
negro al the corner Of Barnard street,
who requested him TO arrest another negro
whom he pointed out, saying that this
second negro had threatened 60 shoot him.
Barrett started towards the man pointed
out 10 him. but just as he neared him
tho negro took fright and started 90 run.
Barrett made a dash and seized his man
by the coat tail, bur the asphalt pavement
being very slippery he fell, losing his hold.
The negro ran west on Br0ughton street,
pursued by Barrett. who again seized him
10y the coat as he was forming q ne corner
of jefferson street Barrett again slipped
and fell but held on 10 the Negroes coat
this time. The man then turned on him
and fired two shots al the detective as he
lay on the ground.
Two regulars who We're standing close
by paid no heed to Barretts call for as
sistance and ciuzen who was d few feet
away kindly called 10 him to hold on" 10
his man. As Barrett regained his feet he
reached for his pistol bat this had drop
ped out of hiss pocket in the chase down
Broughton street. The negro had sue
ceeded in breaking his hold by this time
ana dashed out jefferson street and into
Broughton street lane, making his escape.
Detective Barrett soon called Detectives
Sculy and Shea TO his assistance and the
three made a search for the negro but
without success. Detective Barrett I'm
describing the negro said that he was
tail, dark fellow evidently a stranger
here. and looked like a turpentine hand.
In the struggle at Broughton ana Jeffer-
son streets the negro left his hat behind
him. Barretts escape without injury was
nothing less than a miracle. as the negro
stood right over him when he fired the
two shots at him. The detectives are of
the opinion that the negro is wanted for
crime some where and that it was this that
made him 50 determined to avoid arrest.

STILL WORKING ON OUTLET.
Drainage Contractors Trouble With
West Brcn d Street COfferdnmS.


West Brcn d Street COfferdamS.
Considerable progress is being made
on the house drainage work, which now
includes work on the West Broad street
outlet. A little trouble is being exper-
fenced in getting the cofferdam in condi-
ton to begin work, but the contractors
hope to do this shortly
The cofferdam, as at first constructed
did not prove ss ccess. 1t was made of
rough two inch lumber, which was not
tonged and grooved, and for this reason
the water crept through into the enclosure
1t was thought the lumber would swell
sufficiently to close the cracks and there
by make the dam water-tight. but it
was seen such would not be the case In
order to properly ENCLOSE it. il has been
found necessary to duplicate the present
construction, and pacil clay between the
two. When this is done it is believed the
water will be shut out, and that the work
can proceed.
Until the work on the West Broad street
outlet Is well under way, nothing will be
done on the one at Rourke's foundry. IL
will probably be the more difficult TO con-
struct. however, for the reason it will be
considerably deeper than the other.
