lEvEL

At a special meeting to be held this evening at 7:30 o'clock the Montgomery City Council will consider a proposition to improve the intersection of Adams and Bainbridge streets to meet the de- mands of citizens and property owners in that neighborhood.
 The intersection of these streets forms cone-shaped knoll which is not only unsightly. but is. from an engineering standpoint, objectionable in every re- spect.
 For some time the Street Committee of the Council has been considering a plan to remedy the defective place, and it has decided finally to recommend that the grade be lowered four feet so as to level the street corner.
 The tracks of the Montgomery Street Railway at this point climb a hill, make an abrupt curve on the knoll, and de- scend hill.
 The Street Committee will probably submit the following ordinance this even ing. and ask unanimous consent for its passage:
 Section l. Be it ordained by the City Council of Montgomery, as follows: That the Mayor be and he is hereby instructed

at large is glad enough to see Tammany win local battles, but that 1t does not warrant the organization seeking to boss the National Democratic party. In form CT national Democratic conventions 1t Is recalled Tammany had to accept the can didate the convention wanted.
 The German following in Congress is likewise displeased with the reported evil dent disposition of Tammany to dictate a candidate for the national Democratic convention. They sec in Murphy's tenta- tive clinging to the name of Grover Cleve- land merely boosting of Tammany's S game to capture control through conjur- ing with the name of a great man and not because of any sincere attachment to the cause of the former President. They have heard much of the admiration of Tammany leaders for German, but his fol- lowers do not regard this as consistent with any sort of advocacy of MT. Cleve- land.
 Undoubtedly the reported expressions of Charles F. Murphy and the deductions drawn from them that Tammany Is not disposed to listen to suggestions from the outside has been as a wet blanket upon the generous ardor of those Democrats from all over the country who have been cultivating desire to do whatever New York Democrats wished done. They say if what New York wants means what Tammany only wants, 1t would better be known as soon as possible, for the con- sensus of opinion among Democrats everywhere is that upstate New York Democrats shall have a hearing as well as Tammany. It is evident as far as can now be judged. that, if correctly report ed from New York, Tammany is adopting a much-questioned way of proving a pow erful factor In the next national Demo- cratic convention. David B. Hill is not at all regarded as cutting any serious fig ure now or likely to assume any import ance in the convention, and any Tam many play to that effect is not going to fool anybody. The Parker Democrats at least. the Parker Democrats who are not of New York, profess to be not at all disturbed by the Dave Hill scare-crow, saying that 1t is just about as credible as 1t would be to say that Hill and Grover Cleveland had combined fortunes. They need no argument to persuade them that Judge Parker has entirely abstained from aSy effort to influence any Democrat to vote for him, and that is one of the req sons why he has commended himself to voters generally

TRAIMMEN CAN HAvE
4 GOATS UNBUTTONED.

Pennsylvania railroad traihmen may
now wear their coats Jas best suits their
fancy.
J, b. Baker, Jr., superintendent of the
Philadelphia terminal division, yesterday
issued an order to this effect. 1t practi-
cally rescinds the ancient rule that pas
senger trainmen must keep their coats
buttoned when on duty.
The action of Mr.. Baker comes as a
victory for the men. Only n few weeks
ago orders were issued by many of the
division superintendent calling attention
to the old rule and intimating that the
trainmen would nave to be more careful
In its observance. Several days ago the
question eliminated in the s%ummoning
ductors and brakemen. They were told
that they had broken the rules and must
mend their ways.
The trainmen grew indignant. They
declared that the weather was too torrid
for closely buttoned coats. They threat
ened to appeal to W. NJ. Atterbury, the
general manager. The superintendent
said that his last words were that orders
must be obeyed. The trainmen canvassed
the situation. A committee was about
to wait on the general manager when
Mr.. Baker posted the notice that coats
may be worn unbuttoned. The notice,
it is said, was inspired by the higher
officials of the company.
The uniform over which there has been
so much trouble was adopted in 1876.
Prior to that time the Pennsylvania's
employees had no distinctive garb. The
original uniforms had no waistcoat. The
caps We're of brown linen, with II peak of
black leather. The following year the
waistcoat was added.
