PROCCKDMGS OF ' CPTT COVHCIb Absence of Mayor Again Delays the Lighting Qaeetlon .Owing to the absence of Mayor Macrae, who went to Waterloo to forestall the democratic state convention from nonvln- atlng hlra for governor, the proposed lighting contract with the Cltlsens'. (ins I and Electric company waa not reported by : the committee on Are and light. : Colonel C. O. Saunders, as attorney for , to be making his wsy towards Council the Great Western railroad, Introduced an j Bluffs. Officers Wilson and Gillespie were ordinance granting the railroad pei-mls- at onco detailed to try to capture the fel alort Jo conatruct. a switch or connecting low. Wilson taking the Northwestern trscks track from Fifteenth street across Ninth ! and Gillespie those of the Illinois Central, avenue to connect with the 'tracks of the Just outside the city limits and nearly Burlington road at Eighth avenue.- The ordinance was passed under suspension of the rules to Its second reading and re ferred to the committee oT the whole. While discussing this proposed ordinance Mr. Saunders was asked by a member of the council why the Great Weatern had neglected to comply with the Instructions of the city council relative to placing an arc light over Its crossings cm Main street and Ninth avenue. Mr. Saunders In reply treated the councllmen to a lengthy dis sertation on the danger arising from such j lights at railroad crossings. Arc lights at railroad crossings, he Insisted, made the crossings all the more dangerous, aa they blinded the engineers so that they could not distinguish any obstruction on the track when approaching crossings so lighted. Despite the eloquence of the Great Western's attorney, It waa evident that the members of the council were. In clined to .take his assertions with a good sited grain of salt. Charles M. Nicholson, former chief of the fire department, thinks the city is Indebted to him in the sum of $50 and he would like to have It paid. A year ago when the fire department was being troubled by mischievous persons turning In "false fire alarms the city council by resolution offered a reward of $50 for the a rest and convic tion of the guilty person or persons. Chief Nicholson, shortly after the reward waa announced, caused the arrest of Richard Deveney, a youth well known to the police. Devepey was found guilty and received a police court sentence.- Now that- he-Is no The ordinance providing for- changing the names of avenues E.- F. "nd ' G between Oakland avenue and North- Second street, was brought up -but was referred back to the .city- engineer and city solicitor for correction. Chief Janes of. the fire department, ub mltted a report recommending, that the fol lowing building.- be condemned: - At 61& Boyth Main street, 1007 South Main street. 13 West Broadway and 3015 West Broad way. The matter waa referred to the com mittee of the whole. Th contract with E. A. Wlckham to level up the strip between the recently laid pav ing on Broadway between Thirteenth and Twentieth street, waa approved after more or less opposition from Councilman Wal lace. The city solicitor submitted a report to the effect that Wlckham, In bis con tract for - the paving, agreed to do thl work without extra charge. Wlckham In sisted that while he bad agreed to level off the strip between the paving no such work a' he proposed now to do had then been contemplated.- John L: Price served notice of two suits agalrnt the city,- one for $500 damages for Injuiiea received by a defective sidewalk on Eighteenth avenue and the. second for $1,000 damage on behalf of his son. Robert, who. had been Injured to that amount by tha same cause and at the same1 place. The notice were referred to the.

MRS. TOLLMAN'S AMAILAXT ESCAPE Officers Take Two Tim Shootlngr at Him bat Miss. At an early hour yesterday morning De tectives Wilson and Richardson of the police force fought a platol duel with a negro, suspected of being the one who at tempted a criminal assault on Mrs. E. Toll man of this city late Sunday night at the home of her father, Frank Covalt, near Crescent City. . Word of the assault reached the police department shortly after midnight with the Information .that the negro was supposed opposite Gilbert lake. Wilson encountered a negro and accosted him. Without a word of reply the negro drew a revolver and fired point blank at the officer, but the shot went wild. The negro then Jumped from the track Into the tall weeds along the right-of-way. Officer Wilson emptied his revolver at the retreating figure, but failed to hit the fellow, who succeeded In making his escape through the weeds. Shortly before I o'clock Detective Rich ardson came upon a negro on Washington avenue at -the corner of Benton street. When the officer called on him to halt, the negro at once opened fire and made a-dash for Indian creek. Richardson fired several shots after the fellow, but without result, and he succeeded In making his escspe. The negro met by Officer Richardson Is believed to have been the same one who made his escape from Detective Wilson na he had had about sufficient time to reach the part of the city where Richardson en countered him. Mrs. Tollman, who lives on Fourth street, was visiting her parents at Crescent City Sunday. A number of friends were spend ing the evening there and It waa late when they left. Before retiring for the night Mrs. Tollman went Into the yard to get some water from the well. As she reached the well she was eel led by a. man who at tempted to throw her to the ground. Mrs. Tollman struggled desperately. Her cloth ing waa almost entirely torn from her In the struggle and her strength was fast giving away when . her father, attracted by her screams, rushed out of the house to her assistance. The brute, seeing he was foiled, flung Mrs. Tollman from him and made Me escape In the darkness.
