At the council meeting last night
the vote cast at the special election
held Monday was officially canvassed
and the first steps were taken to-
wards carrying out the improvements
made possible. In canvassing the
vote it was found that the vote of
the first ward upon the remonstrat-
ing amendment had been erroneous
ly reported. The returns published
showed that amendment to have lost
in that ward by a vote of 36 to IA,
whereas it carried by that vote. This
being the case every amendment car
ried in every ward of the city.
In the absence of Mayor Fee,
Chairman Z. ]. Murphy presided last
night and after other matters had
been disposed of he requested that
the levee committee commence at
once preparing for the repairing and
extension of the levee, so that no
such delays as occurred last fall be
met with. Thereupon Councilman
| s;wearingen, chairman of the leveE
committee moved that his commit
tee be instructed to employ an engi-
naeI and to have full power to pro-
ceed with the work. The motion
| carried.
| Macadam for the North Side.
A petition requesting that Raley
street, on the north side, be macad-
an1ized from the western terminus
| to Bush street, was presented last
| night and was signed by the owners
of property having frontage of p
600 feet on that street. Not long
ago a petition asking for the improve
ment of Raley street was presented
the council, but the petitioners did
not suggest the form of material to
be used. The petition last night was
referred 10 the street committee, and
1t will be granted without doubt.
| The district to be improved covers
10 blocks and will furnish An excel
lent entrance to the city from that
end of town. The owners asked that
the macadam be made IS feet wide.
Weed Law Passed.
Three ordinances, all of which
have been under consideration for
some time, were passed last night.
One was the famous weed ordinance,
which provides for the eXtirpation of
all noxious weeds in yards and streets
and provides penalties for those who
refuse Another was the ordinance
relating to concrete sidewalks in the
residence portion of the city, while
the third forbids the use of the paved
streets by heavy traction engines and
similar machines except with the con-
sent of the street commissioner. Also,
1t is forbidden that a wagon loaded
with more than 10000 pounds be
driven on the pavement.
BY resolution the council sold a
strip of land in Olney cemetery to
the Catholics, the same to be used for
cemetery purposes and laid out with
streets as is the remainder of the
cemetery. The lots were sold fol
$500.
Upon motion, $4,000 and interest
was transferred from the genera
fund to the levee sinking fund for the
purpose of reimbursing that fund fol
money borrowed for the purchase OF
the johnson property at the corner o.
Alta and Cottonwood streets.

VICTORIOUS
 CARLISLtS
The indians Defeat the
 Harvard Eleven
The Crimson Team Be- wildercd by the Tactics of fhe Indians.

Cambridge. Nov. 9.-Prcvious defeats were forgotten today in the victory ol the Carlisle Indians over Harvard by a score of 23 to IS. For versatility of play the Indian team has not been equalled on Soldiers Field since the new rules went in effect. Forward plays, delayed kicks and cross passes followed each other in rapid succession until the Harvard players became be- wildered and seemed utterly unable to stop the march of the Indians toward the goal The visitors scored twice in the first half, twice in the second and four times on brilliant rushing. Har- wards points were made on two touch downs and goal from placement by Captain Parker. Each touchdown was made on funbles and as the Indians were directly in front of their own goal # was comparatively easy for the Crimson players to push the ball over for a score. One of the Harvards goals from the touchdown was missed by Little. Mount Pleasant the Indian quarter kicked three in four attempts Mount Pleasant ran with great speed and his selection of plays was we'll varied. His most brilliant effort was a dash of 75 yards through the end of Harvard for a touchdown shortly after the beginning of the second half,

HAD DESIGNS ON NICHOLAS
A Probable Attempt to Kill
 the Car
It WasDiscOvered andFrus- trated Before 1t Could Be Put Into Operation.

St. Petersburg. Nov. S.-What is be, lieved to have been a carefully con- ceived plot totake the life of Emperor Nicholas while enroute from Peterhof to his winter palaces at Tsarskoe Selo today was frustrated by the vigilance guards. Early this morning a guard discovered six men trying to cut the wire of the semaphore at Livogo sta ton at the junction of the railroads to Peterhof and Tsarkoe. A guard at tempted to arrest the men but was fir ed upon and wounded. The shots aroused the guards at the station and several volleys were exchanged be tween the outlaws and soldiers. the former escaping without injury.
 The police profess to be unable to understand the attempt to cut the semaphore as such an act could hardly work harm to the czar's train which was due to pass q few hours later. It is generally believed that the outlaws intended to prevent the use of the signal with the object of bringing the train to a stop at that point. No ar . rests have been made.
