LIVELY MEETING
 OF CITY FATHERS
 PROMISED TONIGHT
Ten Foot Centers and Fairfield Avenue Paving Discussion Ought to Furnish Fire
 works

The ten foot center question and the Fairfield avenue paving situation may precipitate a fight in the Common Council meeting tonight. Itsis ex- pected that resolution will be intro duced asking the council to rescind it's former action which refused to grant ten foot centers, so that compromise can be brought about. The Streets and Sidewalks committee, with it's chairman, Daniel E. Walker, deter-. mined to stick by the councils 5 former action, will submit a report which is expected to be adverse to the Mayors proposition and in general against granting the trolley company the right to lay ten foot centers.5
 Chairman Walker and a majority of the committee members are anxious that the ten foot center question be thrashed out, in the courts and every thing done to prevent the traction company from laying ten foot centers. Alderman Walker believes that the city can still get around the matter of getting something done toward put ting the street in good condition. even if the trolley company is not allowed to lay ten foot centers. It is sug- gested that the company can be pre- vented from running it's cars over the south tracks while the work of lay
 
 sewer is laid it is then proposed to go ahead with the street paving, the city paving it's part of the street and letting the traction company do it's work when the court settles the ten foot center question, if 1t cannot be forced to do 1t before then. There is a good deal of opposition to this prop ostticn because the street would be todn up for two summers, it is believ- ed, and would have to be torn up to let the traction people relay it's tracks, after the city had done it's paving work
 The report of the committee will be prepared at a meeting before the council tonight. Many hearings are scheduled and one or two other mat ters of minor importance will come up at the council meeting.
 A conference of Fairfield avenue property owners was held at the Board of Trade rooms, in the Newfield build ing. this afternoon, beginning at 2:3O, to confer with the directors of the Bridgeport Business Mems Assoctation on the Fairfield avenue situation.

MANY WILL MISS
 DABNEY'S SMILE
COlored Preacher Dies Without Realizing His Life's
 Desire

Dabney Christian is dead. No long, CT will his powerful voice be heard in gatherings of evangelists on street corners and in revival meetings urg- ing the brethren and sisters to accert their souls. Always smiling and showing two rows of ivory teeth against skin of ebony he won many friends, and became one of the local celebrities.
 Dabney was good gardener, a good butler, and could make himself generally useful about the household of wealthy folks, and he was much sought. About 20, years. ago he was seized with religious ferVoP and took up the reading of the Bible and went into evangelistic work. He had some success and was given financial aid, but was never able to reach his cher ished ambition, that of being certi- fed Baptist preacher. Several times this certificate was denied him an6 he waS4nbliged to continue working for g. living.
 About six months ago his mind showed indications of being unbal- anced and he had hallucinations of duarrels with his daughter and that his sson-in law was going to kill him, Eventually he was sent to the State hospital for the Insane at Middle town where he died yesterday.
 Dahney was about so years old, had many friends among the white folks, and all who knew him had only the kindliest words for him. Every pear at Christmas time he prevailed q upon some storekeeper to put in a small stock Of black faced dolls as he argued that little colored girls loved little black faces with kinky hair as much as little white girls did the kind with pink checks with blonde curls.
 Ills remains will be brought to this city for interment.
