The city council gathered about the
long table Monday night with the
at one end, the clerk at the other and
mayor every seat occupied by its
proper incumbent. The monotonous
grind of regular municipal business
was gone through with conscientious
elaboration.
The Plymouth Hook and Ladder
company asked permission TO remove
the large and heavy extension ladder
from their truck, for the reason that
it is seldom needed and is a constant
burden and impediment. The COM

A large number of citizens filed a
petition for 4-inch water main on
West Pierce street to the Brownlee

waterworks committee. Another Pc
tition asked that quantity of dirt to
be removed in excavating South Mich
igan street be used in the improve
ment of Horace and Schuyler streets
powered to use his discretion in the
matter.
The several officials interested were
authorized to purchase certain supplies
necessary for the new water mains
and crosswalks, and sewer was ord
cred to be constructed between Wal
nut street and the Vandalia railway
south of the Washington school.
A batch of bills amounting to ST.
695. OS were allowed~and ordered paid
and the finance committee reported
that this would reduce the funds in
the treasury to s552.s2, a dangerous
ly small sum, indicating the near APP
proach of a period of borrowing.
The question of certain sidewalks
on Michigan and Laporte streets in
the business section, which walks do
not extend to the curb, was discussed
and the city attorney was directed to
investigate the legal phases OF the
case and prepare a resolution or or

widened and to present the same at
an adjourned meeting of the council
to be held Thursday evening.

The total of the levy last year was
s1.2Og, making an increase of II
cents.
w. w. Hatch & Sons informed the
council that their contract for paving
North Michigan street is now fully
performed and asked that the work
be accepted. They also presented a
bill for paving the street intersections,
amounting to about 5000, and asked
that it be paid. The council decided
that the bill ought not to be consider
ed until the city commissioners make
their assessment list for the entire
improvement and that the job should
not be accepted until the contractors
remove the sand from the surface of
the paving and proper inspection is
had.
The star performance of the evening
was that of Superintendent McKim,
of the Pennsylvania railway, who APP
peared for the purpose of showing the
council some things about the needed
street crossings over that campany' IS
line in this city.
He said, did Mr.. McKim, or practi-
cally said, that the eitizensof Plymouth
don t know anything about what they
need, and if they did know it should
cut no ice for the reason that some
eastern states have some laws, the APP
plication of which to this particular
case was not made quite clear.
Mr.. McKim had some estimates,
made by the company IS engineer with
out any opportunity for examination
by anybody on the part of the city,
and these estimates he laid before the
council apparently with the idea that
the magnitude of the figures would
stagger the members and end the bus
mess then and there.
l "A subway SCutOA ctlOCt, ooio <1l
McKim, would cost $500; one al
Walnut street, under five tracks
would cost 81, 900, and one at Third
street, under two tracks, would cost
81, SOC, or under four tracks, s12, 1000
He did not suggest what it might cost
to construct grade crossings at any o.
these points and protect them by
watchmen, as is done in every othel
stable city his railway passes through
and in this omission Mr.. McKim wa
willy.
ssNow," says Mr.. McKim, we viii
construct subways at Center and Thirt
streets, at cost of SIC, 900, of which
we will pay 81, 600 and the city So,
900, and the crossing at Fifth stree
is to be abandoned and closed"
Somebody suggested Miner street
but that was met contemptuously witt
! the inference that there is no necessi
: ty for crossing there and nobod
wants it.

NARROW BNCAPR
IN MAD RUNAWAY
Wilmington Party Hurled
From Carriage and Two
We're Injured

While returning from Riverside Park
on Sunday night, Miss Margaret O'Neal,
Of No. 2O5 Monroe street, and Miss Lizzie
Flemmng, Of Second and Madison
streets, had a miraculous escape from
death.
The young women accompanied by Da-
vid T. Chambers and two small children,
were on their way to this city when the
horse driven by them became frightened
at an electric light and started at a
breakneck speed down the road.
Lurching from side TO side, the carriage
finally toppled over, throwing the occu-
pants into a hedge along the road and
badly demolshing the vehicle.
The wrist Of Miss O'Neal was badly
sprained while she also sustained severe
bruises about the body. Miss Fleming
was badly bruised and her face is ter
ribly swollen.
Beyond a few bruises the children were
not seriously injured, though how they
escaped is a mystery being hurled across
the road and into hedge.

HAS PURCHASED
MORE PROPERTY
Part Of Lattimer Estate
Bought by ?. R. R.
FOR PASSENGER CAR YARDS
Surveyors Engaged in Laying Out
The 80 Acres FOrerunner
to Elevated Road

That the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company contemplates extensive nm
prt yements Ina and about ,his city, is
no longer a matter OF surmise as q
few days ago Il purchased about 5Dacrrs
of land of the estate Of the late Mis-.
Mary l-atimer. situated ON hc south
west side Of the main line Ol The road
TO the south of the West Yard.
For some time past the company has
been negotiating for this tract. but un-
til recently no satisfactory agfccmcnr
was reached. For the past
few days engineers OF The
surveying department, under direction
Of Assistant Engineer Wilson, have
been engaged in laying Que the newly
acquired property, having completed
the work yesterday afternoon.
Much difficulty was experienced in
The survey, as the land Is principally
marsh ground. and Il was necessary for
the engineers to use ties and impro-
Nised platforms in order to do the
work.
IL is said that the property was pur-
chased for the purpose of establishing
passenger car yards, to be used In con-
nection with the elevated road TO be
built through this city by the company
next year
At present there Is no place for etor-
ing coaches beyond the few tracks IN
and about the p. W. & b. railroad sta
ton at French street When the over
head road Is built these tracks will be
practically useless and OF no avail TO
the company. According TO plans now
pending, the elevated road will extend
from Beggs' briclzyard TO the north Of
the city nearly 10 the West Yard In
the south. BY instituiing passenger
car yards ON the property purchased,
the company will be able TO side-track
les coaches at the terminal of the road.
Not only win the new property be used
as a passenger car yard. but it viii
serve. In a great measure. to relieve
the press of freight cars in the West
Yard.
AT present the fruit traffic is so great
that 70 rs almost impossible 20 keep
the tracks clear. but by the addition
of passenger yards the tracks can be
used for freight cars as well I'm case
of emergency
The price paid for the new property
Is said to be about $4,000. AS the
land is nearly all marsh, It will require
an immense amount Of filling in before
tracks can be laid, but as the company
daily is taking out tons OF gravel from
the embankment near Farnhurst, the
material easily can be supplied.
Much comment has been made as TO
where the new p. w. & b. railroad
station will be erected. So far no def
mite plans have been formed. 10 was
rumored to-day. however. that the sta
tion will not be moved from it's pres
ent site. When the elevated road Is
built and the passenger coach yards
are located on the newly-acquired
land the present car shed at Front
and Walnut streets will be demolished
and an addition to the depot built.

Wilmington is in the tnr0es Of another
hot wave and while yesterday was pro-
nounccd one of the hottest days Of the
year, to-day has proved q close second.
AZ an early hour the heat became i'm
tense, and workingmen were greatly af-

the shade. About z o'clock last evening
the breeze. which had been anording
some relief from the excessive heat, died'
away. and indications pointed TO a sleep
less night At 9 o'clock, however, n
breeze sprang mp. which continued
throughout the night.
As a consequence Of the excessive heat,
travel 10 suburban points was unusually
heavy last night, and everyone who could
get away from the city did so.
To-day dawned fair and hot, and at an
early hour the heat became intense The
number Of pedestrians on the streets was
small and those who were compelled TO be
out were devoid of coats and in many in
stances collars.
At o'clock. however a breeze sprang
up which served TO reduce the humidity.
Thermometers at noon registered 9S in
the shade.
Suffering from the heat is especially in
