At a special meeting OF the Town
Council held on Tuesday evening a
numerously signed petition was pre-
sented to that body asking that
money be borrowed from some source
at low rate of interest with which
to grade and curb Second street from
the residence of Mr.. George w. Legge
to the limits of the town at the Hine-
baugh property; Second street from
the railroadcrossing to Water street;
First street from the intersection of
Liberty to Centre; Liberty street
from the corner of the Totten proper
ty Ito the residence of Mr.. r. S. Jam
ison; Oak street from the corner of
Fourth street to the residence of Mr..
E. Z.sTower at Sixth street.
This petition was discussed pro and
con by all the members of the council
and was passed by yea and nay vote
as follows: Yea, Messrs. Dixon, Elem
ing, Naylor and Ross; nay, Messrs.
Bolden and Loar.
The contention of those voting
against the measure was that the
town is not in condition financially to
undertake the work at this time and
also that now at the beginning of the
season it would be detrimental to the
interests of the business men to tear
up the thoroughfares and have them
in an almost impossible condition
during the entire summer.
The champions of the measure
argued otherwise, stating that the
hindrance to travel would be confined
to but few days upon any one street
and that the money could be secured
at a very low rate of interest.
a counter petition protesting
against the passage of the order was
presented by Mr.. E. Z. Tower who
set forth the fact that to make any
change in the street at his residence
would entail hardship upon him by
making it incumbent upon him to
tear away and rebuild the retain
ing wall now fronting his property.
Yesterday morning when it became
known that the council had passed
the order a large number of citizens
and tax payers protested loud and
vigorously and at once set upon foot
movement to restrain the Council
by an injunction issued out of the Cir
cult Court from putting into effect
the order passed by that body.

operator & Blamed.

The responsibility for the accident
has not been definitely fixed, but it is
believed to have been due to tele-
graph operators error. The opera
tor at one of the stations where the
two trains stopped gave an order to
the freight to pass No. S, the Pacific
express, at Wanstead. In the system
Of the Grand Trunk this order should
have been duplicated, copy being
given to the conductor and engineer
of the express. Instead of this the
conductor of the express received a
clearance order, telling him that he
might run through. The freight train
in the meantime had stopped at Wan
stead to sidetrack, and was telescop-
ed by the express. The binding
storm which was raging rendered OBJ
ieets invisible at the distance of a
few feet.
The operator at Wanstead Is not
usually on duty at night, but last even
ing he happened to be in the office for
a short time. He was going out of
the door when he heard the telegraph
instrument click and Immediately call
repeatedly the message: stop No. s."
stop No. g." Selling latern, the
operator dashed for the door, and as
he closed it behind him he heard the
crash Of the collision up the track.

Epitomized, this was the situation

WAR ON CHRISTIANS.
Said to Be the Plan OF New Asplrant to
Throne Of Morocco.

London, Dec. 29.-The correspond
fence of the Times at Fez, Morocco,
describes the situation as having be-
come very serious. owing to large
increase in the number of the preten-
der's followers whom the government
troops are too weak to attack. Rein
forcements amounting to 10000 men.
he says, will leave Edmorrow and an
additional force of regular cavalry
has been called out.
Many tribes not already in rebellion
are wavering and are ready to join
the rebels in the event of serious
government defeat. The pretender is
fully supplied with everything neces-
sary and has distributed his forces
over a district where they can be col
lected or dispersed very quickly.
The Times correspondent adds that
the pretender's position is very
strong one. He processes not to
claim the throne for himself, but de
sires to overthrow the Sultan on ac-
count of his European tendencies. If
successful, the pretender proposes
that the rebels shall nominate a new
Sultan from the Shehifian family who
would promise to continue the war
against the Christians.
