The ordinunce was referred to the
Judiciary committee with Instructions
to mukr such additions, omissions and
revisions as It deemed proper.
"That's good" was the ejaculation
heard In every side when Mr. Schroeder
Introduced (in ordinance for the re
pairing of Wyoming avenue, between
Mulberry and Linden streets, with
asphalt pavement. The ordinance pro
vkles that the city shall pay half the
cost and the property holders the other
half. The whole cost of the pave In
front of tho church Is to tie paid for
by the city. To meet tho city's share
of the expense X."i,00il Is appropriated
from the general surplus of last year.
With the removal of the present pave
(?) on that block will disappear the lust
vestige of WycofT.
Mr. Durr introduced an ordinance
providing for the purchase of a pneu
mntlc tired carriage for the chief of the
fire department. It was referred to thp
lire department committee of which
Mr. Iurr is chairman. Mr. Thomas
Introduced ti resolution directing the
street commissioner to construct a
sewer basin on the corner of Rebecca
avenue and Jackson street at the ex
pense of the general fund for sewers
and drains. It was adopted.
Mr. Fellows was made very warm
nrotind the collar by the defeat of his
ordinance providing for a terra cotta
pipe drain on Hampton street, be
tween Main avenue and Tenth street,
and angrily told Mr. MoCann, who
headed th opposition, that he would
play Had havoc with every piece of
Fourteenth ward legislation that Mr.
McCann would introduce. An txchanfee
of words which threatened to lead to
personalities was Interrupted by , the
chairman with a calm, soothing "Now
gentlemen. Easy, easy."
Mrs. Ann Lloyd has a claim of $75
against the city, for damages resulting
to her property through the grading of
Itronilcy avenue. She offered to settle
the claim for $65 and City Solicitor Tor
rey communicated a resolution direct
ing that the offer lie accepted.
Mr. Chittenden favored taking an ap
peal and said he was opposed to Bot
tling any claim exceot on a fifty per
cent, basis and stx others agreed with
him. However, ns nine were in favor of
settling on the basis recommended bv
the city solicitor the resolution passed.
Common ci.uncil having refused to
concur In the amendment to the Nealls
viaduct resolution, made In the upper
branch at Saturday night's meeting, by
which Is proposed to figure on a viaduct
olung Luckawannn avenue, Instead of
diagonally from Seventh street to Xcnl
ls court, a conference committee v.ns
necessitated nnd on this committee
President Sanderson appointed Messrs.
Chittenden. Finn and Hums. They will
meet with a like committee from the
lower branch to talk the matter over
and bring nbotit a compromise.
Ordinances were passed on third
reading providing for lateral sewers on
Canouse avenue, between New York
street and the fourteenth district sewer;
parts of Penn avenue and New York
street and Sanderson avenue, Fordhnm
court and M,onscy nvr-nue.
City Engineer Phillips submitted the
plan for a serpentine road, hetptofore
described In Tile Tribune, designed to
overcome the almost Impassable grr.de
on Olive street, between Present t nnd
Taylor avenues. It was referred to the
streets nnd bridges committee.
An ordinance for sidewulks and gut
ters on Broadway was Introduced- by
Mr. Regan.
IN TIIK LOWER BRANCH.
At the meeting of the paving com
mittee of common council which pre
ceded last night's regular meeting of
that branch, the question of ivuutring
greater concessions from the paving
company and nlso the stive- car com
pany was discussed at length and a
determination was reached to attempt
this on the very next paving job pro
jected. It is nro'iosed to compel the paving
company to keep the pave In repair for
ten years instead of five, as Is required
In many other cities; to Increase the
bond given for a faithful carrying out
of the i'rovislons of the contract: to
force the street cor company to lay
a concrete base between Its tracks In
stead of simply setting bricks in sand
ns Is now done, and to reimburse the
property holders for the amount' of
pavement embraced between Its tracks,
when It occupies a street that litis al
ready bepii paved.
One of these reforms, the Increasing
of the bond, was adopted Inst night,
In the ordinunce for paving Mulberry
street, from Mifflin nvenue to Taylor
avenue. Instend of $5,000 the bond was
fixed at $10,000. The amendment was
submitted by Mr. Keller and unani
mously concurred In. The ordinance
was then passed on second reading.
THOSE PAVING ORDINANCES.
Opposition Said to tic Looking lor
I'liins in Thorn.
There Is such strong opposition to
the two big pavement Jobs now under
way In councils that the councllmen
who are putting them through are
much worried over the possible defeat
or delay to their projects.
Over on the West Side the anti-pave
ment people are contending that the
ordinance for paving Ninth, Robinson
and Jackson streets is illegal because
It contemplates the three streets as
one, and they threaten to attack It on
this ground. As the ordinance goes
Into the hands of the mayor today and
hus to be signed within fifteen days,
any delay resulting from an Interven
tion of the courts will greatly endan
ger It.
Messrs. McCanna and Nealls, the
Fourteenth ward representatives, hold
a consultation with President Sander
son last night concerning the Impend
ing trouble, und It was determined to
provide against all possible contingen
cies by having the ordinance held hack
until City Solicitor Torrey passes on
It, so that In cuse it is found defective
It can be reconsidered and amended
before going Into the hands of the
mayor.
ORDINANCE TO UK WITHDRAWN.
Should the solicitor decide that the
ordinance in its present form will not
unquestionably withstand a legal at
tack, it will be withdrawn and three
separate ordinances, one for each
street substituted, this being made
practicable by the fortune or foresight
of the pave promoters in securing a
majority of signers on each street.
Messrs. Nealls and McCann also look
askance on the movement now afoot
to have asphalt substituted In place of
Belgian block on the llrst block of
Jackson street. While they regard
those ut the head of the movement as
being prompted by only the best mo
tives, they believe that many of the
signers of the usphalt petition attached
their signatures with the sole hope of
causing the delay or ultimate defeat of
the pave. The fact that every property
holder on that block, who refused to
sign for Belgian block or any other
pavement at tlrst, are now found
among the petitioners for the more ex
pensive asphalt heightens their belief
that their motives are questionable.
THE PAVE Ml'ST COME.
The councilnien of the Fourteenth
avow thut. ut all events, the pave must
come, us they have a majority signed
for each street and the signature can
not be withdrawn, even though the
signers so desired, which, however, Is
not the case.
On Mulberry street the danger Is not
so formidable, but the kick is quite as
vigurous. Tho people on the first
block, that Is, between Franklin and
Mlfllln avenues, were Included In the
ordinance without their consent or de
sire, and now come on with a solid pe
tition against the paving of that block.
Common Councilman Lorcnz Zeldler
has taken up their fight nnd swears
that he will strive his mightiest to
bring about the defeat of the whole
paving scheme If this particular block
Is not dropped from the ordinance.

Ql EDN VICTORIA'S GE.VrLKNI'.SN
She Is Not ns Overbearing ns .11 any
Would Have the World Believe.
When the queen was a young girl one
of her chief characteristics wus a cer
tain imperiousn.ess of disposition. Her
word was law, and as a distinguished
officer, whom I must not name, once
declared on leaving her after an offic
ial interview, "The queen did love to be
mistress." It is a most lovable trait in
her majesty's nature that with Increas
ing years a mildness of manner und
most considerate thoughtfulness for
others have superseded the austerity
of her younger days. She Is, indeed,
more indued to err on the side of In
dulgence than of sternness. "Have It
your own way," she will sometimes suy
in a grandmotherly discussion with
one of the Battenbei g babies. With
her personal attendants the queen Is
equally gentle. The queen never bv
any chance shows haughtiness to a de
pendent.
Not long ngo an Trisli nurse, in charge
of some Itlle friends of the Dul;e of
Connaught's children, went to teu
(nursery tea, of course) at Osborne.
The Irish nurse, a most naive creature,
when the queen unexpectedly entered
the nursery, went down on her knees,
after making a profound courtesy, and
when her majesty very nicely addressed
various questions to her, replied
grandiloquently: "Yes. O Queen!"
"No, O Queen!" and commenced giving
her u long account of her home nnd re
lations In Ireland. The queen was
positively convulsed with laughter,
which, turning away, she tried In vain
to hide. Her sense of humor is at all

How ii Locomotive K'ngincer Act
M hen Running a Very Fust Train.
From the Ruilroud Gazette.
The locomotive engineer is a remark-
amy piucld fellow, with a habit of de
liberate precision In his look and mo
tions. ii occasionally turns a calm
eye to his gauge and then resumes ills
quiet watch ahead. The Hires levers
which he has to manipulate are undi-
hls hand for Instant use, nnd when they
are used It is quietly and In order, as
an organist puns out his stops. Th
noise :n the cab makes conversation
difficult but not as bad ns that henrd
in the car when pass ng another train
with or without the windows open, and
in loouing out or the engine cab the ob
jopih are approached gradually, not
rushed past as when one looks later
ally out of a parlor car window. The
fact Is that the engineer does not look
at the side be U looking ahead and
therefore the speed seems lees, as the
objects are approached gradually.
Those who have ridden at ninety
miles an hour on a locomotive know
that that on a good road (and there
are many such) the engine Is not
shaken and swayed In a terrific man
ner, but is rather comfortable, and the
speed is not so apparent as when one
Is riding In a parlor car. where only a
lateral view Is had. The engineer can
be very comfortable If he Is quite sure
of the track ahead, and It Is only round
ing curves or In approaching crossings
that he feels nervous, nnd It Is doubtful
If It Is any more strain to run a loco
motive at high speed than to ride a
bicycle through crowded thoroughfares.
Judging by the countenances of the bi
cycle rider and the engineer, the en
gineer has rather the best of It.

Her mistress laid down the paper In

matters to her.
"Dey des got up on de platform, did

Thompson," said he. "I walked about
the field and heard hundreds ot old fel
lows talking about the spots on which
they had been wounded, and telling
all manner of marvelous stories. I was
not at Chlckamauga, but I was In other
battles, and when a man tells you that
he can return and pick out spots where
all sorts of things occurred In a battle
this many years afterward.you may
put him down as a liar.
"Well, everyloiy there was lying, and
I had to do a little myself.
"I was standing by the railroad sta
tion at the foot of one of the hills when
an old veteran accosted me and asked
me if I knew when the next train left
for Rome.
"'No.' sold I; 'this is the first time
I have been here In thirty-two years,
and, my friend, when I stand here and
look upon this hill, recalling the charge
I made up It through a shower of shot
and shell, how I dashed my horse right
through a Federal battery, leaping
seven different cannon, and emerved
from a shower of bullets unscathed, I
wonder that I am alive today.'
"As the old felow listened to my
story his eyes filled with tears. He
walked up and putting his arm about
me, said:
" 'Young man. you were spared for
some great purpose." "
