For the Kkitbi.njas.
le there in any one particular thing
that the City Council should give
speelal and extraordinary attention to
aud carelul consideration of, before they
act upon It. that matter is the changing
of the regular established grades of the
city. There is a proposition now being
made to Council to change grades estab
lished less than one year ago on the ad
vice of our late vervskillful and efficient
engineer, M. C. Oonwell,
ber 4th, 1882, Council met in special
session at Clayton and Chestnut streets
to establish the grades at that point, to
meet the requirements of that rapidly
improving section of the city, as a Targe
amount of property would soon be need
ed for building purposes. To properly
meet I he necessities of the case, M r.
(kmwell prepared, wl h much thought
aud labor, a plan for the grade of Clay
ton street, south of Front street. This
plan was prepared by Mr. Couwell
the request of the Opening Streets Com
that llie Council by meeting
on the ground and having the profile
diagram of the proposed grade present
at the meeting, ami having the same
fuliy explained by the Chief Engineer,
the Couucfl could then understand the
reasons wbv the Engineer bail Axed
grades as shown on the plot.
Couucfl therefore held a special ses
sion as alsive stated. I iind by making
a search of the minutes of Council for
1882, that twenty members attended
this special meeting. The object of the
meeting as staled by Mr. Garrett,
chairman of the committee on opening
streets, was to fix the grade of Clayton
street, and on bis motion, Mr. Conwell
was requested to explain the plan ot
grades prepared for said street. Mr.
Conwell then presented the plans pre
pared by him and carefully explained
ibe grade by him proposed, which be
said be considered the best one that
could be established for the benefit of
the city. By this plan Mr. Conwell
proposal that at the point where Clav
ton street Intersects Chestnut the bed of
Chestnut street should lie raised ubove
the level of the ground at. that point, so
as to make a descent to Front street of
one loot aud mue-tentbs of a foot to cir
ry oil'ibe water tiowlng down Chestnut
street to Clayton out into Kruut street,
which would make the ascent from
Clayum to Elm and from Elm to Un
den streets each of the slight ascent of
seven feet each. This Mr. Oonwell ex
plained would make a much better
and easier grade from Chestnut to Un
den than the present bed of thestree,..
By raising Clayton
so ae to leavo a descent of one foot and
f-lllto Front- strci-r all the water coining
down the north side of Chestnut street,
from ficott street, would flow out iuto

inance, November 23d, 1883, ami
l-hs petitioners now ask that instead of
raising the grade of Clayton at Chest
nut that it be depressed several inches,
at the very point where the plan pro
posed by Chief Engineer Conwell, and
also established by orfiinan e, raised
this street at this point some three feet
or more alsive the bed of the sir et as it
then and now presents Itself to view.
Now, why is this radical change of
grade proposed? Mr. Couwell sail
tuatit was necessary to raise Clayton
street at Chestnut street some three
four feet to properly drain that section
of the city to the best advantage of the
property.
Now, to save the filling up of over
worked brek yards belonging to ptv
vate individuals, Council is asked to
depress the bed .f Clayton Btreet at
Chestnut. The grade, which is
very steep one fromChestnut to l.lnden,
by this depression would be increased,
and mako the descent much steeper t-bati
it was originally. Now tho quest on
, why this change, and who In to
be benefited thereby ? Tho answer to
this question Is, their uumbers
few tliat, they could be counted oi\ me
fingers of one siug!„
They am the
yards which they wish to Sell without
having to go to the expense of tilling up
to a proper street grade to enable them
to depose of them fur building lots,
They want the tax-payers of the city to
grtula down a street now already
teet too ]
Chestnut street to drain private prop
erty. Now, if those men dig out piis
io make bricks which afterwaids be
come stagnant jiools of water, let them
take care of them at their own expense,
aud not at the expense of the taxpayers.
On the grade established by Ordinance
on Clayton street in November last, ou
the recommendation oi Chief Engineer
Conwell, tne lines have been given for
gralii and several new house
of erection on the grade then
established ; to change the grade now,
would greatly damage those buildings.
They were constructed to suit the fixed
grade at Chestnut street. Now if It is
depressed at tliat point, as proposed,the
first floor elevation will be some fifteen
inches greater than it should be, caus
threeadditional outside steps
to reach the front door sills which
would greatly injure the buildings in
appearance aud also depreciate their
value
Council must look this matter square
ly in the face. When grades are es
tablished hy ordinance and buildings
are erected according to such grude,
ami the grade is afterwards changed to
the detriment of tile property, the city
is liable for damages. Goes the city

without the risk of heavy suits for
damages. With the present grude es

pensive litigation will) a change of
grade to the injury of property,

The changing of established grades of
streets, w hose grades have lieeu recom

Tkmesvar, Hungary, October 22.—
Count Battbyany and Dr Julius Ro
senberg fought a duel With pistols to
day. The Count was shot through the
temple and killed. The police have ar
rested Dr. Rosenberg and the seconds.
It had been arranged prior to the duel
that the combatants should advance
five paces before firing. Neither of the
men, however, availed himself of the
opportunity, but each stood in his ori
ginal position. Two shots were fired
by each man without effect. At this
juncture the seconds interfered and
tried to prevent a continuation of the
duel but their efforts were fruitless. Tbe
third shot was fired and Count Batthy
any fell. An attempt was made to ex
tact the ball from the victim's brain,
but w ithout avail. The Count had mar
ried a lady who had previously been
igaged to l>r. Rosenberg.
