No. ll02 Hull Street.
There was considerable excitement at
the corner OF Seventh and Hull Streets
last night, when Lizzie Clark and Walter
Bean, negress and negro, became
involved in little difficulty.
Beer bottles and bricks were the weap-
ons and the air was filled with sulphur
GUS remarks. In fact. Hull Street at this
corner has not been as lively before for
months
Officer Ed. Waymack hove In sight and
placed the two people under arrest and
locked them up al the station house.
Neither admitted being In the wrong, and
each one VIII fight the charge when it
comes before the Mayor. Yet both the
negro woman and the negro man ad-
United that they had used bricks and
beer bottles In the little unpleasantry that
occurred at the corner of Seventh and
Hui Streets.
His Pocket Picked.
well-known young business man of
the city had his pocket picked of a gold
watch and fob night before last while on
Perry Street car from Richmond to
Manchester. He boarded the car at Sew
enth and Broad Streets and stood on the
rear platform. a few minutes after Ieav-
Ing Richmond, he looked nj the watch.
and when he left the car at Twelfth and
Perry Streets. In this city. his time
piece was gone He Ia unable to recog-
nize any of the persons who were on
the platform with him and could give
the police but little information regarding
the robbery.
A Mistake Was Made.
From the records in the office of the
city auditor the resolution offered IN the
Assembly by Mr.. -. l.. Toney, provid-
ing for the discontinuance OF compliment
tary street car tickets after the first of
March. was concurred In by the Board
of Aldermen at its meeting on the 18th
instant. Mayor II. A. Maurice has APP
proved this concurrent resolution and
in SO far as the Council is now conc eru-
ed II Ia as much qaw as any other
joint resolution of the MUNICIPAL legisla-
ture.
At the same meeting, wnen the Toney
resolution was adopted. according TO the
records, by the board. there was also
adopted resolution offered by Alderman
Il. l.. Patrar, which provides for the
adjustment or the free transportation
books 10 all city officials. fire and 20.
lice commissioners. after the first OF
-'p'tis anu Allc aSSeUlDly VIII be called
upon TO consider this resolution from tho
board at its meeting next Friday night.
1t was printed and reprinted in TINS
column that the Toney resolution was
defeated by the Board of Aldermen In
this belief there were many Councilmen
II was evidently with the idea In mind
that the Toney resolution had been de-
ieated that the Patram one was passed
otherwise. and as 1t is at present. there
.x1,.,
same thing abolish free transportation.
AT the meeting Of the upper branch OF
the Council. when the Toney resolution
was offered, IL was argued that 1t was
technically defective. because II said
"conncimen'' should not receive free
tickets. and that the members of the
Council. as councilmen. did not take the
tickets, but that as fire and police COM
riissioners. they rode free.
Alderman Abbott, who attended the
meeting on the 18th. Is confident that
the Toney resolution was defeated, and
Councilman Taylor is of the same opinion.
However, the records say not, and the
Mayor has signed the Toney resolution

way accident on Church! HILL In Rich
mona, yesterday morning. he was driv-
ing large oil wagon, when his horses
became frightened and dashed off from
Twenty fifth Street. Mr. Walden swung
the team around corner into Grace
Street. hoping to check them and the
wagon was overturned. He was thrown
violently against the curbing, and was
bruised about the head and body The
ambulance was summoned and treated
him, after which he was brought to his
home In the city
Was Reported Favorably.
With few exceptions the annexation-
lists of Manchester are delighted that the
legislative committee has seen fit TO IA
vorably report the bill providing for the
retention of the Corporation Court in the
city in the event OF the consolidation of
Manchester and Richmond They are
now hoping that the General Assembly
will pass the Sadler bill without any
amendment.
If the measure is placed upon the stat
ute books the annexation of Manchester
1t is believed, is virtually assured. But
with the Corporation Court out of the
city 1t would be toss of the coin as
TO which side would win--the annexa-
tionists or the MISUNDERSTANDING
