3f The Mayor's Objections to the Belle field Railway Set Aside. P00KH0USE CONTRACT AWARDED. diamond Street Widening Petitioned for on the Citj's Eehalt QUARREL OP DIGSIFIED COUNCILMEN At yesterday's Council meeting Chief El liot's award ot the contract for building the new Poor Farm buildings to C A. Balph was approved in both branches. Some op position was made in Common Council but in Select there was none. The approval ffas made by a resolution which will go to the Mayor lor his signature. The Diamond street widening scheme was advanced an other step by the passage in both branches of a resolution authorizing and directing the Mayor to sign a petition on the city's be half to have it widened from Sniithfield to Liberty streets. The city will be repre sented on the petition by the market prop erty through which the street is to run 'under an arcade. Contrarv to plans decided upon last week the Bellefield Street Bailway ordinance was not withdrawn. Major Gourley heard of the change in plans shortly before noon and lird his elo ready when Councils assem bled. It was one of the first papers consid ered. Objects to a Permanent Obstruction. In it the Mayor calls attention to the Central Traction Company's ordinance, pre sented the same day as the Bellefield com- auyV, but killed in committee to give the Duquesne Company's bill the right of way. The Central Company says it is logically en titled to the Center avenue right of way. They would have only five-sixths of a mile of track to lay from Herron street to Neville Mreet and 2,500 ieet from Isegley avenue to Liberty Hall to give them the shortest lirect route from Wood street to the East End. That another line is ueedeJ to the East End ihe Mayor says will be vouched for by the 50 per cent of persons who are compelled to stand on the crs going to or coming fiom that part oi the cit in the morning or evening every day. His Honor 'e-cribes the Bellefield ordi nance as a pcimanent obstruction, the Cen tial Crnii.inj"s a public benefit The first w ill nqi.ire two lares from Herron Hill Mfiucms to go either way, the second only rue Jure. He also objects to the Bellefield Com auj 's bill because there is nothing in it providing when the tracks shall be laid r reguning the company to pay its share foi the viving of Center avenue. He ends liU veto by adding: "In conclusion permit me to state that cable and electric roads imc been a great benefit to the city, and tins, lact constitutes an unanswerable argu ment hy e should not erect breastworks to prevent other companies from building roads and competing for the patronage ot the public, especially in cases uhere such roads are an acknowledged necessity." Don ned the Veto Without Discussion. Xot a word of discussion followed the reading of the paper in Select Council. Mr. Itobertson stepped forward with an Agreement signed by Geo. W. Elkinb, Wm. L. Elkiiis, Joseph Stuart, J. G. Freggaide End Geo. C Wilson, who he said consti tuted the Board of Directors of the Belle field Company, in which they proposed to pay lor all the block stone and gravel used in paving between the tracks and one foot on the outside along Center avenue, to rcpave with block stone after laying their tracks and guaranteeing that but one fare will be charged to auy passenger on the line whose destination is either toward the East End or the lower part of the city along the Pittsburg-Duqnesne system. The agreement was unanimously approved and a vote was taken, passing the bill over the Mayor's veto by a vote of 25 to 5, as follows:" Ayes Messrs. Anderson, Barnr., Eenz, Ilraun, Brophy. DoIe, Fllnn, Foster, Jones. Knur. Matthewi?, Miller, Laugliran, McCurry, SIcKlnley, O'Malley, liul, l.'ellly, Robertson, llolirkaste, Schertztngcr. Treuch, Warm cattle, llson and President Ford 25. Nays Messrs. Donahue, lapping and Fltz shnnions. Messrs. Ferguson, O'Donnell, King and McHugh supported the veto in Common Council, describing the Bellefield Com pany's bill as a flagrant injustice. Mr. O'Donnell said that the President of the Duquesne Company had realized the justice, of the Central Company's claim, and had consented to the withdrawal of the Belle field Company's bill, but that the repre sentatives of the controlling interest in the Duquesne Company, parties who had no interest here, had lorced a change and de manded the passage of the ordinance. Tho Vote in Common Council. A Tote being taken, the ordinance was passed over the veto by 26 to 10, as follows: Ayes Messrs. Bradley, Brown, Donley Dnnn, Dmcan, Flnnerty, Fllun, Fox, Galla gher.

They had twice failed to pass for want ot a legal majority with the liquor prohibition feature stricken out. Tester day the bill was called up, the Council re sotved itself into a committee of the whole and reinserted the anti-liquor clause and then tried to pais the bill again. It again failed for want of a legal majority, but is in shape to be taken up at the next meet ing. The ordinance to prohibit driving cattle over certain East End residence itreets oc casioned a long discussion in Common Council Mr. MacGonigle, on behalf of tne .Drovers Association, opposed it, sav ing it prevented the drovers from getting their cattle down town at alL His motion to refer the ordinance to a special commit tee of five to investigate and hear the com plaints of the drovers was passed, Messrs. MacGonigle, King, Ferguson, Wright and Bradley being appointed. wniei xsrown reported the J. C. O'Donnell Indignantly Accuses Chair man Holllday or Treating Him Dis courteously A Warm Controversy Both. Gentlemen Angry No Retractions Alado and Ko Apologies Offered. Two of the most dignified members of Common Council became engaged in a heated controversy during the meeting, which, for a time, looked as if it might end seriously. President Holliday and J. C. O'Donnell were the principals. The trouble occurred during the discussion of a resolu tion presented by Mr. O'Donnell to secure the release of one ot Contractor Gallagher's bondsmen, it being represented that Gallagher's bid on a Liberty street sewer contract was too iow and the bondsman wished to avoid the danger of a loss in consequence. Considerable opposi tion to me resolution was aeveiopea when Mr. O'Donnell took the floor a second time in favor of it. 'City Clerk .Martin was at the moment leaning over the President's desk in a subdued conversation. Mr. O'Donnell addressed the chair and began his speech, but noticing the Chairman was not listening, sat down. In the momentary silence which followed, the Chairman looked up and asked Mr. O'Donnell why he did not proceed. O'Donnell was pale with indignation. He walked down the aisle for a moment and then turned, saying: "I wish to call the attention of the Chair and Councils to what I regard as discourteous treatment to me from the Chair. I don't like to find fault, but twice this afternoon the same thing has ocourred." Flushing up quickly Chairman Holliday asked, "To what does the gentleman reierr Mr. O'Donnell Twice this afternoon when I have addressed the Chair he has de liberately engaged in whispered conversa tion with persons around his desk, paying no attention to my remarks. I have called to him but he has not heard me. I consider this a discourtesy not to be passed over without comment. Mr. Holliday The Chair meant no dis courtesy to the gentleman, any Mr. O'Donnell I mav be wrong, but, sir, it seems to me such things occur too fre quently and I have noticed that it occurs oftenest when I am on the floor and seems to be intended for me more than other members. Mr. Holliday had by this time crim soned with anger and it was evident both gentlemen were approaching the danger line. To Mr. O'Donnell's last remark tile Chairman replied: "The Chair has always endeavored to treat all members courteous ly. The Chair has always been particular ly courteous to the gentleman from the Sixteenth ward. If the Chair enforced all the rules the gentleman would not talk nearly so long or nearly so often as he does. xne rules limit speeches to five minutes and members to one speech on anv subject before Councils. The gentleman violates these rules very often and he knows that no discourtesy was intended to him by the Chair to-day." These remarks were made with emphasis. Mr. O'Donnell retorted that the Chair should call him down whenever out of order and was proceeding on that line when Mr. Mr. Holliday rapped for order and ended the discussion by directing him to proceed with his remarks on the resolution. Amid an unusual quiet he did so. When he had finished Mr. Bigham continued the matter, deploring the turn the discussion had taken, and declaring his belief that no discourtesy had been intended. Mr. MacGonigle fol lowed, saying the same thing had often hap pened to him but he had not felt slighted. He said he had only in that session made a five-minute speech especially intended for Mr. O'Donnell, but when he got through not a word had been heard br Mr. O Don nelL The latter took no notice of the re mark and the discussion ended. No apolo gies were offered by either of the principals. The resolution was defeated. w n SPECIAL SALE SEAL JACKETS $200. All new shapes, and wide sleeves. full high collars SAVE $50.
