ON GRADE QUESTION
City Thinks B. 6 0. Should
Pay All Damages for Ninth
Street Work

At the meeting of the Directors Of
the Street and Sewer Department this
morning. Andrew E Sanborn, counsel
for the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company, appeared regarding the pro-
posed change of the grade Of Ninth
street, between Grant avenue and
Bayard street At previous meetings
OF the board a resolution changing the
grade OF the street was given its first
and second readings As the rail-
road company is building bridge at
the point and had made the change
in grads necessary, the directors be-
lieyed the company should pay the
property owners along the street for
the damage which might come TO their
property from the change in grade.
Mr.. SanbOrn stated that no such ar
rangements have been made by the
railroad company with the property
owners, and under the Delaware law
such a change In grade Is regarded
as a public benefit and the railroad
company was not legally bound TO pay
damages, although the company would
pay the property owners a fair sum
for damage which the change of grade
might cause
Since the proposed change OF grade
has been considered by the board
great deal of opposition has been
aroused against IL as the property
owners want damages and think that
they should be paid before the grade
Is changed. The hoard decided to
defer action I'm the matter until some
arrangement has been made with the

which change IN grade will cause

Sy The United Press.
NEW YORK, Dec. 1O.-AIillions of
dollars of paper losses We're recorded
in the stock market today. heretofore,
when leading interests connected with
the bull side switched over to the bear
side and aided a raid that sent the
entire stock list crumbllng down to
new low levels for recent months.
Rumors of the collapse of various
pools, and of double crossing" by
certain leading interests filled the air
and the tone of the entire market was
demOIalized. There was a recovery OF
a point and fractions at noon.
The market opened weak and for a
short me there was a pretence of
support from the bull leaders For the
first hour this support had a mildly
reassuring effect on the list, but then
the bears gained the upper hand and
started pounding everything down.
The open support switched over and
for nearly an hour the decentralization
held full sway Thousands of shares

George Latham 10 Serious
Condition Result Of The
Trouble

AS the result of family brawl and
disturbance at the Latham home at
81 Merton street Sunday afternoon,
George Latham, Sr.. is in a rather ser.
ious condition. His wounds consist of
numerous gashes about the left side
of his head inflicted by heavy glass
spoon bowl In the hands of his en-
RACED son, George Latham, Jr. In
severely handling his father, however,
the son was frrrnly protecting his
mother, brothe. and sisters from VIC.
lence at the hands of the head of the
family.
The trouble is said to have started
when Latham, Sr., began to feel the
effect of having consumed a goodly
portion OF the contents of a small
keg of beer. It is said that he sud.
denly took a notion to be left in soil.
tude and Immediately started in to
rid the house of all other occupants,
viz, his wife and children.
In ejecting all from the house, he
was primarily successful, but his
trouble soon came. His son George,
who is married and who lives In the
Immediate neighborhood OF his par.
ents' home, heard the disturbance at
the latter place that sounded sus.
piciously like trouble. Accordingly,
he fastened over the short distance
between the two houses and was just
in time to witness the final moves of
the election proceedings.
Enraeed at what he saw, the son
rushed into the house and seized the
spoon bowl from the table and attack.

disturbance. The latter was given
several lusty clouts about the head
and was spared only when the glass
vessel was shivered.

am to such an extent that he was
able to realize that his condition
needed immediate attention OF sur
geon as the blood was streaming
down over his face and shoulders
from several bad scalp wounds on the
back and left side of his head. He
was assisted by neighbor to the Of.
flee OF DR.. A. T. Fulton where his
wounds were dressed. 1t required
about twenty stitches to sew up the
gashes that had been inflicted by the
spoon howl.
AS result of the trouble. the
neighborhood was aroused to con
siderable extent and the police were
called. On their arrival they found
the affair over. Mrs. Latham stated
that size would appear and file an afii
davit against her husband on Monday
morning. He was ordered to appear
before the mayor

things and illustrated points with
which he wished to impress the minds
of his hearers.
Some time before 1880 o'clock the
church was completely filled and was
soon overhowing. All who came could
not find room In which to remain.
The church was beautifully decorated
with large bouquets of red and white
peonies and ferns.
The pulpit was occupied, besides
Rev. Barnett. by the minister's of the
other protestant churches throughout
the city, there being no services at
the other places Of worship last ev-
ening. At 1880 o'clock the seniors. to
whom the sermon was to be delivered,
marched up the aisles, having entered
the auditorium at opposite doors at
the rear, and occupied a reserved sec.
tion In the center tier Of seats. The
class was accompanied by. the men,
bers Of the high school faculty and
the members Of the city board Of edu-
cation.
The services we're opened with pray
er BY DR.. II. H. Hurley, followed by a
selection by q quartette composed OF
the Misses Ethel Vincent, Ruby Hunts
