hacking two votes of the necessary
totul to obtain its passage,, the or
dinance providing for a reduction in
the sidewalk parking from 8 feet lo
4 feet on streets 60 feet wide in the
residence districts went to its deai.li
at the regular meeting of the cK
council Monday night. The negative
votes were cast by Micelli and Joseph
son, of the street committee. Thert
were just seven councilmen in all
present, and, under -the charter, it
would have taken the affirtnative
votes of al! of them to pass the
measure;.
Neither Micelli or Josephson ex
plained their votes and there was n:
comment after the result was an
nounced. At the close of the meet
ing. however. Micelli said.
"To have passed that ordinanet
would" have been a backward step.
Besides, there was no excuse for pre
senting it. The property owners hail
four months' time to consider what
width of parking they wanted before
the council established the S-foot
width. Then they appeared at nil
eleventh hour with a petition fm
less."
Micelli'e vote was a surprise
those councilmen who voted in favoi
of the measure. When the ordin
ance was given its first and secoin1
readings two weeks ago in open conn
ell. Micelli stated that though he did
mC think the property owners real
ized what they were doing, he would
hoW out agaiitvst them no longer.
What probably caused his change of
mind since then is the fact that quite
a number of property owners have
already built 8-foot parking frnmof
'and in a number of instances filled
them Ln and sown the dirt wMh grnsF
seed.
One More Mock of Paving.
One more block will be added to
the paved area of the city this year
if the petition of W. L. Dysinger.
granted by the council, is not killed
by a remonstrance from other prop
erty owners. Mr. Dysinger asked for
bitulithlc paving of the block extend
ing along the east side of his planing
mill property on Mill street, from the
Moshor-Sherldan street jog to Wood
ward street. His petition was no:
signed by any property owner of
the opposite side of the block, but
it is believed that there will be nc
protest against the project. The
owners of two-thirds of the affected
property prevail in a question of thU
kind, and Mr. Dyslnger. in this in
stance, owns one-half.
In his petition. Mr. Dystnger im
poses the condition that the cost of
the pavinig Is not to exceed $2 per
nquare yard, or 31 cents less than the
present pavement costs. He specifies
however, that the property owner?
are to do the excavating and curb
laying at their own expense. The city
is to pay for the paving at the Mother
and Woodward street intersections.
City Engineer Hartong expressed
doubt as to whether the paving could
be obtained for $2 a square yard, but
Councilman Micelli stated that it
could tn this case; that he had bepn
informed to that effect by Super
intendent Speaker, who is in charge
of the paving work now In progress
In this city.

11 new poles within 30 days after

Councilman Card well declared that
he ordinance was unconstitutional,
'ex post facto," to use his own legal
hraseology. "You're making it a
-line." he explained, "to have poles
npainted that aro already up."
Micelli said this didn't make any
ifference. becnuse the two corpora

onsented to have their poles painted.

NEW YORK, Aug. 16. The elim

York Central lines and the complete
ascendency of Edward H. Harrlman
in the control of more than 12.000
miles of railroad comprised In that
system is declared to be the next im
portant move in the railway world.
It Is reiwrted on what seem to be
good authority that the Harrlmnn
backers have secured an option on
the greater portion, if not all. of the
Vanderbilit holdings and will soon
close a deal in the interest of the
"Napoleon" of tho railway world.
The option which has been obtained,
It is stated, is on $50,000,000 worth
of New York Central, which is to be
purchased for Mr. Harrlman at $150
a sharo.
The acquisition of the New York
Central by Mr. Harrlman would give
him a second transeontimentnl route
and place in him power 'to make and
to control ratoB of transportation
which was not dreamed or a few
vears ago. This power would extend
o traffic east and west and also north
and south, by reason of his control

men are on a strike. Trouhle started
when a striked fired on a river
steamer heRring strike breakers to
ho plant. The constabulary charged
and dispersed the strikers, arrest
ing a large number of them.
The strikers are foreigners. Yes
terday a mob of 11000 of them, mas
sed to prevent a boatload of strike
breakers being taken into the pressed
steel car works, fired on a steamboat
now Hieing duty ns a ferry. The boat
was driven out lnlo the stream and
the strikers - took possession of the
company wharf.
The full force of state troops rode
Into the crowd, swinging their
maces on the heads of the men. Shots 1
were fired at the strikers, and the 1
troopers then began firing with their
service revolvers.
The strikers retreated toward the
river, followed by the troopers, who
spurred their horses until hundreds
were forced into the river to escape
being run down.
Nearly all of tho strikebreakers

the men to tho plant aro mourned
with galling guns, and the company
olllclala say these will be used if the
strikers continue their efforts to pro

Hreaklng the strike is proving
costly, for the company now realizes
that o accomplish anything they
must employ men who have a knowl
