AFTER A YERY LIVELY DEBATE. A Remonstrance Against tho Pro posed. Streot Demonstration Attending tho Lithuanian Church Cornor. The expectation that thero would be an exciting council meeting last night on ac count of tho "T" rail question, brought out a full attendance of councilmen and n largo gathering of citizens. J. R. Coyle, Esq., was present with sev eral representatives of tho eloctrlo railway company to ask that tho "T" rail bo sub stituted for tho flat rail. Mr, Coylo ad dressed the mombers and staled that ono of tho prttno objects of tho oloctrlo railway company is to construct tho road so that it will bo absolutely safe for its patrons and for that reason it asked permission to u-e tho "T" rail In plaei of tho flit rail. Mr. Coyle pointed out tho disastrous effects of a car leaving tho flat rail on a grado and stalod that tho wheels of tho cars for tho "T" rail are so made as to hold tho ear upon the track. Mr. Coylo also stated that three or lour livery men had suggested, after viewing tho section of the road laid on Main street yesterday, for exhibitins purposes, that tho guago of tho railway bo made 4 feet 81 instead of 5 feet 21 inchos. Councilman Holman made a statement regarding tho trip ho and other mombore of the street committeo made to Botblohcm, AllentOwn, Scranton and Wilkes Barroto soo how tho "T" rail worked in tho places and ho said that he was satisfied tho "1" rail was the best for use. In answor to questions by Councilmen James and Bettoridgc, Mr. Coyle said that the main street in Allen town is fifty-five feet wide and on it aro laid two electric tracks. Ro also said that the streots having ono track aro about -15 foet wido. Mr. Jamos said ho know considerable about track laying with "T" iron rail and said he felt confident that the people would not bo able to drivo whero tracks would bo laid with such rails. Councilman Lamb said ho was not particularly Interested in any rail, but that ho was.interostod in tho electric railroad in this borough In tho sonso that he was inter ested in tho borough and nil had acknowl edged that such a -road would benefit tho town. Re also said that the peoplo would have to oxpect some inconvenlonco, as tho pooplo in tho cities, whore olovated and cablo roads aro put in operation. Mr. Lamb continued by Baying ho was open to conviction and impartial and said that after conversing with hundreds of pooplo in ro gard to tho section of rail laid yestorday he had become satisfied that It was tho prupor railtouso. Mr. Lamb also stated that bo had had Mr. William Neiswonter, who was against tho "T," drivo his carriage bo tween and ovor tho rails in various direc tions and that gentleman oxprossed himself satisfied. Councilman Coakley said a livoryman who had driven betwoon and over tho "T" rail laid yesterdny had expressed hlmsolf satisfied. In answer to a question by Citizen Pat rick Conry as to which rail Is the safest, tbo flat or "T" rail, Mr. Eborlo, superinten dent of construction for tho olectrio com pany, answered, "Undoubtedly tbo longer flango on tho wheel is safer. A girder, or flat rail, provides for a flango of only about i inch. Mr. James asked, "What will bo tho re sult if wo adopt tho "T" rail and the other boroughs won't lot you put It down ?" and Mr. Eberle answered that the result would simply bo to abolish tbo entfro system and lot the money be taken elsewhere. "We Intend to spond $2(3,000 on this undertak ing," continued Mr. Eberle, "and that much money docs net grow on tho bushes every day." James J. Franoy said ho wished it under stood that ho was not against tbo eloctrlo railway, but that ho objected to tho "T" rail. Councilman VanDuson, who Is a livery man, said that ho thought the. "T" rati the bast, providing tho company would keep tli o track filled upas shown in the exhibition section. Tho regular business of Council was taken up with tho understanding that the rail quostlon would bo considered In Us ordor, Mr. Portz reported that tho new Coal street bridge Is ready for carpenters to begin work.

Wo alo learn that upon that day thoy will bo assisted by sociot'os of tbelrown religious people irom various towns in this and other counties.

With her port hawse hole smashed, her main deok shoathlng cracked and six mon severely Injured, two probably fatally, th United States steamship Atlanta came to anchor off Bedloe'n Island last night, after the severest struggle with the ele ments that any ship ot the now navy has experienced.
