GRANT TO TELEPHONE CO.
Permission Given by GomnloI
Council to String Cable on
King Street

Common Council held a special meet
ing last night for the purpose of con-
.sidering the request of the Chesapeake
and Potomac Telephone Company for
permission to string a cable on King
street. Their request had already been
agreed. to by the Board of Aldermen
and had been recommended by the
joint committee on general laws and
streets to which it had been referred.
The question was discussed at some
length by Messrs. Yates, Spinks, Biz
rell, Smith and Burke. Councilman
Spinks raised the point that no au-
thority had ever been granted the
Bell Telephone Company who had re-
ceived permission from Council to
string wires through the streets, to
transfer such rights to the Cheza-
peake and Potomac Telephone Com
pany. He was also opposed to further
wires on King street and cited the
condition at the corner of Royal AMI
King streets, which he said was ex-
tremely dangerous.
Mr.. Birrell introduced an amend
ment to the resolution providing that
any increase nthe rates charged by
the Telephone Company or its suc-
eessors shall act as revocation to
the permission granted in the original
resolution.
Mr.. Spinks endeavored to have the
entire resolution tabled but was un-
successful and it was finally passed
with the Birrell amendment by a vote
of to /.
The resolution which will be found
in the official proceedings provides
that the company is to commence lay
ing it's wires on King street under
ground within five years.

SERIOUSLY CUT BY NEGRO
Peter Snellings at Alexandra Hos
pital From Wounds Inflicted by
Henry Stevens

A serious. cutting ARRAY took place
early last night on the northwest cor
ner of King and West streets, in whlen
Peter Snellings, who conducts groc-
cry store 1850 Duke street, was serl-
lously injured and is now at the Alex
andria Hospital with his life in bal
ance. His assailant is Henry Stevens,
well-known negro of this city. Smell
Iaings' head was gashed, one cheek split
open, his left ear almost severed ana
his throat cut, the knife or razor which
was used by Stevens barely missing
the jugular vein.
Snellings was hurriedly removed to
the Alexandria Hospital. He was
bleeding profusely and left trail of
gore on the steps of the hospital while
! he was being carried into that institu-
ton. He was so weak from loss OF
blood that it was necessary to inject a
saline solution. DR.. Smith was SUM-
moned an dhe rendered the necessary
surgical aid. His condition is regarded
as critical.
Stevens after his murderous At
tack upon Snellings boarded an cleo
trio train and attempted to escape
from the city. He attracted the az
tention of Conductor Joseph Nowlanc,
who had charge of the train, and ne
and Conductor L. E. Padgett, who va:
also on the train, concluded to keep
him from leaving the car in which ne
was seated. It was noticed that ne
was nursing a cut hand, having It
covered with handkerchief. Steve rs
made movements as if he was about
to leave the train when stops were
made at stations, but the conductors
prevented him from doing so, and upor
reaching Washington Conductor Now,
land took Stevens to the First pre-
cinct station house and turned him
over to the officers in charge.
Later Chief Goods and Officer Bel
who had proceeded to Washington OF
an earlier train in an effort to app:e'
bend the negro, brought Stevens t.
the station house in this city.
The case was called in the Police
Court this morning, but Snellings be-
ing unable to attend, it was continued
for ten days.
The trouble is said to have origina'
ted over bill of $3.50 which Snai'
Ilings alleged Stevens owed hin: fo'
goods. Snellings met Stevens in r. &
Burnet!'s saloon on West street, neal
King, and demanded payment Of the
bill. The two men becoming boistc-'
Gus, they were made to leave the
place. A few seconds after they left
the saloon Snellings returned wcf
blood rushing flowing from the wourd;
he had received.
Stevens alleges that Snellings at
tackled him with knife and exhibits
cut on one of his hands. He says
he disarmed Sneliings and cut him II
elf-defense.

Tries To Break Jail.

An unsuccessful effort was made
last Friday to effect an escape from
the new Jail. Mr.. J. X. Mayhugh
was locked in one of the cells, not
as prisoner, but as possible win
per of a $500 prize offered by the
Stewart Iron Works, who supplied
the cells, to anyone who would in
"a hours break out of the Jail.
Mr.. MayEugh was allowed to select
such tools as he desired, and he had
the best in his shop, of hammers,
saws, cold chisels, crowbars sledges,
and the like, and wore a happy ex-
peotant smile as the door was lock
ed on him. After about two hours
of what he declares was the hardest
work he ever did, be gave up, and
asked to be released. The injury
done was so slight that it was hard
ly dis,inguishable, he having cut off
two riyet heads and made a slight
dent or SO in the steel lining. Saws
used on the cell door bars scratched
the paint of, but not much more.
1t Is agreed that we have one of the
best jails in Kentucky, and even the
