Seventh Street Matter , DEMAND THAT MAYOR CLEAVER YcTO IT Committees Appointed by the Mass Meeting At the Court Homo Lnit Night Will Watch the Fight to the iml : Tonight , A meeting of the city council Is to be held this evening , at which Mayor Cleaver will , It U r.ald , present his veto ID the ordinance vacating South Seventh street In favor of the Uock Island Hallway company. During the last few days a tremendous amount of work has bsen done quietly for the purpose of In ducing some democratic aldermen to recede from the position which the democrats took solidly nt the last meeting , and vole to sus tain the veto. It Is claimed by those who ought to know that one of them will forsake his political confreres and that the vote will be five to three against sustaining the veto , thus letting the veto stand. The republicans will make two of the three. There -"as only standing room In the south wing of the tcnrt house lost night when the time arrived to call to order the meeting of citizens gathered to protist against the action of the city council In closing South Seventh street and giving It to the Hock Island rail road. The citizens largely represented the district most affected by th * council's action , and they were very much In earnest. Frank Trimble called the meeting to order , and hta suggestion that Dr. Barstow be made perma nent chairman met the approval of those present. Ira Hendrlcks was selected as sec retary. The matter was thoroughly gone over In vigorous speeches by Trimble , W. A. Mynster , J. J. Shea , Ira Hendrlcks and oth ers. If there were any members of the coun cil present they occupied veiy obscure and uncomfortable scats. After the matter hail been discussed In all of Its aspects to the ex tent of leaving no room for the democratic majority In the council to stand upon and nc excuse for the mayor refusing to veto the or dlnance , a commute ? ' was appointed to gel the opinion of the meeting In a thape that II could be presented to the council at Its meet' Ing this evening. The committee consisted o J. J. Shea , L. Everett and W. A. Mynster They were absent but a few moments , whet they returned , and Mr. Shea read the resul with more than his usual eloquence and en ergy : "We denounce ! thef action of the city coun ell In passing an ordinance closing South Sev enth street and giving It to the Chicago Hock Idand & 1'aclflc Railroad company. "We ask the mayor of the city to veto soli ordinance. "We respectfully call the attention of th city council to the fact that they aro.th servants of the people and not of the corpo rations , and we suggest that they take a da ; off , commune with themselves and get till fact clearly fixed In their minds. "Wo suggest In a very mild way that nex March the annual city election occurs. "Wo are flrmly of the opinion that no rlgh should bs granted any corporation by the clt without full compensation to the city. "We believe that the citizens who hav built upon said street have greater right there than any corporation. "We tepressnt that the residents south e Fourteenth avenue are very largely owner of their own homes , and that the closing c Sventh street Is especially a blow against th owners of homes , and will result In the cor flscatlon of a large part of the value of man small homes. " The report of the committee was rcclvc without a dissenting voice and with a vlgoi ous clapping of hands. The chair was ir structed to appoint a committee to wait upo the mayor and council tonight and present tli crystallzed opinion of these taxpayers , and I Everett , W. A. Mynster , J. J. Shea , T. I Smith and I. A. Hendrlcks were named. Mr. Everett thought that a commute should also bo appointed to wait upon Born of the local newspapers and torture them Inl an expression of opinion on the subject. Th view was also taken by Mr. Shea and other Colonel Baker , Captain Hubbard and C. J Tlbbetts were selected as the mlsslonarle : The meeting then adjourned , and the me who composed it will occupy all the avallab ! room In the council chamber tonight.

' Sully Is an Irish-American actor who do ' not make the peculiarities of his national ! so broad and obtrusive as to dull the keeP ness of his wit. There are no bits of upon his shoes , and In his speech there but the faintest shadow of the brogue. I acts without seeming to act , and thus wli his audience from the very outset. Each 7 appearance ot this progressive actor has be marked by a great Improvement , not only to the class of play In which he appears , b In his peisonal skill as an artist. He Is man of very distinctive Individuality , and possessed ot a large degree of that Indescrl able force called magnetism.

The display Is confined to the west window , and despite the narrow limits , It Is a most remarkable exhibition of beauty , skill and magnificent planti. Special features are two fowls conitructed of flowers and growing plants , wrought with such ex quisite skill that the breath ot life only Is lacking to put them Into competition with the real birds. This latent exhibit of Mr , Wllcox's resources as a florist Is attracting wide attention. Question III * Coniroiltlan. Frank Guanella's petrified man was brought to the city yesterday morning , and all day long held a levee In n vacant store building on Main street. A large number of men visited him for the purpose of satisfying themselves as to his real position In so ciety , and opinion was very much divided over htm. It Is claimed by some that It he were really petrified he would not be In so excellent a state of preservation. His fea tures are ai cleir cut as though he had died yesterday , the wrinkles on his wrists and kntckles stand out distinctly , and even the veins In the ankles protrude as though dis tended with life blood. Altogether , there Is an air ot newness about htm that Is some what discouraging to those who think he Is a genuine old timer , and the corns on his toes speak rather of a nineteenth century civiliza tion than of one that existed before tooth pick shoes had been heard of. Some uncharitable people have even gone so far as to speak of the fact that Frank Quanella Is In the cement business as well as the sand bank business , and hint that It Is as easy to make a cement man as a cement curbstone. Very few , however , think that Mr. auanella had any part In devising the fake , If-a fake It la. Whether the gentle man Is a nineteenth century product or not , however , the fact remains that people arc considerably Interested In this melancholy- looking stiff , and they will await with anx iety the opinion ot some one who has a better knowledge of the distinction between the fake and the genuine.

Trouble Over Insurance. W. B. Proctor , who lives nt 229 South Seventh street , was placed under arrest yes terday by an officer from Omaha , and Is now In the city Jail awaiting requisition papers In order that he may be taken to Butler county , Nebraska. He has been Indicted by the grand Jury of that county on the charge of embez zling $400 that belonged to the Pacific Mutual Insurance company of California , for which he was acting as agent until quite recently. Since his residence In this city he has been hustling policies for the New York Life. Sheriff Derby of Butler county was In Des Moines yesterday and procured requisition pa pers from Governor Jackson , which will bo here this morning. While they are on the road Proctor Is making strong efforts to get out of Jail. He engaged J. B. Sweet as his'at ' torney , and during the afternoon habeas cor pus proceedings were Instituted In the district court. The writ was made returnable thU morning at 9 o'clock before Judge Smith , while the requisition papers will not be hero until half un hour or so later. The Ne braska people will try to have the case post poned until the papers arrive. A telegram from Governor Jackson was received last evening stating that they were on the road. Proctor's attorney claims that the transaction out of which the difficulty has arisen was all right , and that the company Is merely trying to collect a debt by means ot the criminal courts.

Numerous complaints have been made re cently of a crowd of half-grown men who live In the eastern part of the city , but whoso depredations are not confined to any partic ular latitude. They terrorize the natives Into submitting to their acts of outlawry , for the natives do not know but they may be the next to suffer. Windows are broken , gates are pulled off , bricks are thrown , and life Is made ono long , glorious saturnalia of fun for the hoodlums. Not long ago these young y fellows stationed themselves on a building adjoining ono of the churches In the eastern part of the city and amused themselves by dropping rocks down on the heads of people as they went to prayer meeting. The other day ono of them , William Dunn , broke a window at 114 East Broadway. He was brought up In police court yesterday morning and two of his pals , John Langdon and John Ross , were brought In to testify In his favor. In telling their story they forgot the wisdom of telling the truth at all times , and before they were through had contradicted them selves at least a dozen times apices. Judge McGco at last became disgusted with the outfit , and directed that an Information be filed charging both Ross and Laugdon with perjury.
