Another Version or the Iteoeut Ejectment
from a Train at Gray's Ferry.
The following version of the ejectment of
a passenger named Grady from a train on
the P., W & B., railroad, at Gray's Ferry,
by Conductor John McCloskey, a few day's
ago, Is given by a correspondent of the
Morning New*:
To the Editor of the Morning New*— 8ut:
In your paper of November 7 I read
article under the head oP'A Strange Story,"
and would like to say a few words about it.
I was a passenger on the train Mr. Grady
was on, and iu tho same car, aud conee
quently a witness to the entire transaction.
Mr. Grady was apparently asleep when
the conductor came to him for his ticket,
and, alter being awakened by the conduc
tor, positively refused to show him bis
ticket, stating that he (the conductor) was
not conductor of that traiu. The conductor
showed him his badge on his cap and asked
him if be could read. He replied yes, but
wanted some other evidence of his being
conductor, and used language which is unfit
for publication, beside saying
conductor, but a-Irish
talking to the man at least seven minutes,
aud trying In a gentle aud persuasive man
ucr to obtain the ticket, the conductor fin
ally told him that if he eld not show him
his ticket he would have to eject him. Mr.
Grady replied that he would show him noth
ing, and to put him off if he wanted to, re
peating it at least a dozen times. The con
ductor, without using one cross word,
stopped tbe train and put Mr. Grady off.
After the train bad stopped Mr Grady
offered fo pay his fare, but the conductor
very properly refused it. When Grady
found that he must go he endeavored to get
tho uames and addresses of Bomo of the
gentlemen in the car as witnesses, but every
one refused to give them to him. After the
conductor returned to i ho car at least a
dozen gentlemen gave him their cards, say
ing, "If you want a witness call on roc."
Now if Mr. Grady will just read this arti
cle carefully aud
seeing how very foo
is "a strange story," indeed, when properly
told, and that "Truth is strauger than llc
tlon;" at least »o it seem» to a
he was no
man. After
quietly he cannot help

Uarache's Laue to the Wilmington Cannery;

The reports were adopted.
The Opening Streets Committee made a
favorable report on tho petition of William
Bush, asking ior a change of grade at Front
and Clayton street«.
Mr. Garrett presented a number of com
munication», both
able
on
favorable and unfavor
to the proposed change.
Mr. Taylor stated that he
c bad received a
com mu ideation from Senator Bayard in
favor of the change.
Mr. Farrell spoke earnestly against the
proposed change, and said that Council
should not change the grade, as it would
affect a number of pereous who had put
their all lu building a borne ou the streets
where the grade was asked to be changed.
The houses had been constructed accord
ing to a former grade adopted by Cou
ncil, and to change it now would ruin
property.
The yeas and nays were called and the re
port of the committee was rejected by tbe
following vote:
Yeas—Messrs. Denney, Garrett, Johnson,
Lltcenberg, Moore, Newell, Pickels, Speak

The City Treasurer reported $74,366.49 in

Tbe uusigned Water Department check

The Chief Emriueer of the Water Depart

past week; pay roil, $334.75.
The Street Commissioner reported 24 men
and 8 single teams In his employ for the past

Mr. Taylor presented a resolution adopted
at the last staled meeting of the Board of
Health in relerence to the condition of the
gutters at Delaware avenue and Eleventh
committee presented a
Dredging
Btrcet.
By general consent the Street Commis
sioner was permitted to make a few remarks
in reference to the matter. He said that the
Street Committee tad taken special pains
to keep the gutters complained of clean.
They were cleaned at least twice a week.
Mr. Blake coincided with the Commis
sioner and said if the Board of Health could
do any better it had better do so.
Mr. Farrell thought the responsibility for
t he bad condition of the gutters was due to
the residents.
Mr. Johuson thought the Board of Health
was continually fault-finding at every meet
lr.g.
Mr. Gtrrctt said something should be
done
In tho vicinity.
Mr. Pickels thought that the grade should
be changed. He moved that two
employed to keep the gutters clean until
cold weather.
Mr. Blake
there were several cases of diptberia
opposed to the motion.
He thought that the gutters were as clean
as any in the city, if uot cleaner.
Mr. Farrell moved that the matter be re
ferred back to the Board of Health, with the
request that they uo ifv the residents iu the
vicinity to cease polluting the gutters with
the offal from their residence?.
After some further discussion the motion
of Mr. Farrell
to *.
The followiog petitions were read and re
ferred: James Parker, for lamps at 8Ixth
and Broome, Seventh and Broome and on
Broome street, between Sixth end Seventh
streets, and a flag crossing at the corner of
Seventh and Broome streets; Joseph K.
Adams, lamp on the north side of Seventh
street, between French and Walnut; George
H. Bates, for gutters on Broome street, be
tween Thirteenth aud Fourteenth; Stephen
Downey, to have

between Seventh aüd Eighth; Francis Mc
Closkey, water pipes on Pleasant street, be
tween Adams and Monroe.
George II. Bates and other proporty
owners were granted permission to set curb
at their own expense, under the supervision
of the Street Commissioner, on Broome
street, between Thirteenth aud Fourteenth.
Mr. Pickels presented tho following pre
ambles and resolutions, which led to con
siderable discussion:
adopted by it vote of II
order issued to set the
Whereas, Thc administration of justice de
mands that the uttn< *t dilligenco be observed
in the ai rest of offenders, and in bringing them
to a speedy hearing and trial; and,
Whereas, Thc Municipal Lourt was in
tended to bo a continuous tribunal, where the
offenses against the peace and good order
of tho city could bo properly disposed of; and.
Wh r ab. Difficulty dub been experienced In
obtaining warrants and In securing prompt
hearings at said court, resulting in the taking
of many cases before other officials for hearing,
thereby losing to tue city tho fees and fines in
euch cases; therefore, be It
Resolved. "That this Council respectfully re
quest the Judge of tho Municipal Court to tuld
not loss than two sessions of said oourt each
day, whore hearings may be had for offenders,
and that arrangomonts be made whereby war
rants may be i rocurcd promptly and with
ti.inty, and bail takon without delay, and that
H igh Countable nnd the other e-mstables of
the city be, and they are hereby, requested to
bring all parti s arrested before the City Judge
for hearing and trial."
Mr. Taylor moved to strike out tho last
preamble.
Mr. Pickels said if the preamble *as
stricken out the iutent of the whole subject
would be destroyed.
Mr. Farrell said "It λ our duty u Council
la
lc
M
the
meo to im to it that offender» of the lvw
were brought to speedy trial cud Justice."
Mr. Baugh thought that keeping prisoners
» whole day»was not right. There should
be »t least two sessions of the Couit each
day.
Mr. Pickels stated that the way the hear
ings are now held a persou arrested on Satur
day Is kept in the hall until Monday morning
unless the police took them before some
Justice of the Peace for a hearing. In case
a prisoner is so kept tba Chief ol Police is
obliged to supply him with more meals
than h» otherwise need do 0 a prompt hear*
ing could be had. Furthermore, It did not
•ult workingmen to lose half a day to ap
pear In the morning before the court as
witnesses, when the same esse could be
heard In the evening.
After some further discussion the motion
of Mr. Taylor to strike out the preamble
was lost, and the whole was adopted by a
vote of 13 to 8.
By resolution of Mr. Moore the Commit
tee on Puhllc Buildings was authorised to
lay a new floor In the office of the city tax
collector.
On motion of Mr. Blake the same commit
tee waa Instructed to notify D. H. Kent to
remove a fence at Orange street wharf as it
obstructed the sidewalk.
On motion of Mr. Eastburn when Coun
cil adjourned It adjourn to meet at the cor
ner ol Commerce street and Christiana
avenue on Saturday alternoou at 5 o'clock.
The tame gentleman gave notice that he
would at the next meeting of Council offer

to notify the owner to remove a pile of stone
