The Jail Matter in Hustings Court is
Not a New Ques?

The summoning of the City Coane'l

Fourtesn years ago the councilmen w.ro

Th following order of the court may be
interesting in the face of recent develop

Whereas, the grrand jury of the Hust?

the 12th day of April, 1VSS. presented to
the said court a report setting forth that
they had examined- the jail ol" said city.
and find that the locality in which said
jail is situaied is unsuitabla for the mo
per keeping and safe protection of tho
prisoners confined therein: that ^aid "ail
is wholly -ur.ii; and unsafe for tne pnr
poses for which it was erected: that tho
department used and set apart for the
females is too small and iiisufficiein for
th ir accommodation; that ihere i?" no fire
apparatus at the said jail, and that t.:o
said jail is not well secured and sufficient
for the cohveriSent accommodation of
ihose who may be confined therein. so
that convicts artd those not convicts may
ba in apartments separate from each
other. and from the othc-r prisoners:
And, whereas, it is provided by law
that the Council of the said city shall
provide and keep in good order a jail well

sittin=c was ioo formidabie, and the whole
batch was laid over until next Tuesday
evening, when it wiil be taken up at a
special meeting.
Not ihe least important matter. so far
as the public is concerned, to be considered
at that time wili be the resolution relatiye
to a general transfer system between the
two companies. The committeemen had
hoped that the companies might settle
this imestion among themselves. but they
have .-j far failed to reach an argument
and are as wide apart as ever. lt is un
derstood that the Street Committee wiil
require arbitrators to be appointed by the
companies to anange ihe terms on which
transfers wiil be issued.
There is another street car matter that
is of great interest to the Kichmond pat
rons of the street car lines. Jt is the
probabiiiiy that within the next few
weeks the liiehmond Passenger and Power
Company wiil be selling tickets on its
Main Street line, the trunk-line of the
system, at three and one-third cents
each; or three for ten cents. The counsei
of the company have been directed to pre
pare a resolution to this effeet, and it is
said in a most rehab'.e and authentie
quarter lhat the same wili in all proba
biiity be adopted by the Board of Diree?
tors ot' the company when it mec-ts to
day. The object is to do away with cash
fares as far as practienb'e. Where a pas?
senger desires a transfer, he wiil have to
pay five cents.
RAILWAY MATTERS LAID OVER.
The Committee oa Streets met at u
o'cldckr. Chairman Allen and Messrs. Ba
hen, Burton. Gibson, King, Pollock.
W.Iy. Glenn, Lawder, Mills and Peters
being preseiit. As soon as the roll had
been called Mr. Pollock moved that the
regular order of business be suspended,
and that the street railroad ordlnances
and resolutions be taken up. 'nasmuch as
a numher of the gentlemen interestcd in
these questions were present. This Was
agreed to, and the committee decided to
meet next Tuesday afternoon to consider
these papers. this time being aceepuible
to counsel for both of the companies in?
terestcd.
A number of aliegations for street and
alley improvements were heard. and the
Counci! was urged to order ihe work in
each case.
TKASH-BCN MATTER.
The report of the committee on the trasii
box matter came back irom the Council
for further conslderation. .Mr. Mitchell, !
representing the company controllirig the
trash-boxes, spoke brieily coneerning their
advantages and usefulness. He said these
boxes were in use in Bosion and St. Louis
and had not proved objeetionable from a
ssnitary point of view. Mr. Bahen said
he was opposed to the scheme, as he had
found recc-ptacles for trash a great nuis
s-nce. The petition of the company was
rejected.
Col. Jshn Murphy presented p'ans for
the ornamenial bridge he desires to build
over Eighth Street. to conneet his presenl
hoiel at the corner of Eighth and Broad
Streets with a hotel he proposes to erect
on the opposite side of Eighth Street. The
bridge is to have a clearance of 14 feet
G inches.
Mr. Mills moved that the whole question
be referred to the Ward Committee, the
City Engineer and City Attomey to pre
pare an ordinance granting permission for
the construction of the bridge with proper
restrictions, these gentlemcn to report at
the- next meeting of the Committee on
Streets, on the evening of October 2Sth.
Ai the suggestion of Col. Cutshaw, Col.
Murphy promised to have some ropes
stretched aeross the street to show exactly
the lines of the proposed structure, and
the committee decided ;o meet at Murphy's
Hotel a: 4::? P. M.. Oetober .Sth. lo see
what Col. Murphy proposes to do.
GATES AND WATCHMEN.
A letter from the Seaboard Air Line rela
tiv? to gates and watchmen at the various
crossings v.-.is read. lt was expialned that
the gates had been ordered and wouid
soon be in posilion. The company was di?
rected to get up these gates as soon as
possible.
Mr. Mills asked if it were possible for the
committee to require the Seaboard Air Line
to build houses for its watchmen to protect
them from severe weather. He was in
formed that the committee hardly had the
riglit to do this; but couid request the com?
pany to take proper steps to protect its
watchmen in this respect. Col. Cutshaw
said the company would have to erect
houses when the proposed gates were put
up.
Col. Cutshaw called the attention of the
committee to a request he had received
from the trustees of A-1-Salnts' Church.
on Franklin Street. for permission to pave
the sidz-walks around the church editice
with gronolithic. After some discussion
the matter was referred to the Ward Com?
mittee and the City Engineer.
After the transaction of some important
rou.ine business the committee adjeurned.
