He would not, however, after leav- ing the house submit to an interview, and the reporters were no wiser after their attempt to learn something of what had passed than before. The governor did, however, deny the as- sertion of Dr. Hunter that no patron- age would come this way until a Uni- ted States Senator had been chosen. He disclaimed any particular know- ledge of the senatorial situation in this state. Ir is said the sundry civil bill and the general deficiency bill will be ve- toed or pocketed by President Cleve- land, which will prevent their becom- ing laws at this session, President Cleveland's wisdom and prudence appears to be such (in his own mind) as to outweigh the united wisdom of the Senate and House of Represent- atives on almost anything that comes up, from a private pension bill to the recognition of a belligerent power.

It is possible to place the track exactly in the center of the street, and there is no good reason for leaving a loop hole for future dif- ficulties with the road. There are al- tion of tracks by wh to reach the depot. This can be removed by a provision that the company shall pass over its own ground to the depot. This if it does not own it can acquire. There is no necessity for assuminy any responsibility therefor on the part of the city so left some uncertainties a3 to loca-| | | and matter be referred to the street com- mittee, and it was amended by M Barnes by a provision for the ordi- nance committee to meet with the street committee, and if the report of the latter be favorable to have an or- dinance prepared by next Monday. The motion prevailed. As a pretace to the introduction of the Illinois Central right-of-way or- dinance, Mayor Yeiser read a protest against the proposed right-of-way from the Paducah Marine way Company, alleging that a railroad along the proposed route would | greatly impair this, one of Paducah’s greatest industries, unless the ordi- nance youchsafed some special pro- tection in regard to the standing cars, such things, at Washington street. The communication was re- ceived and filed. Councilman Farley then read the right-of-way ordinance. The only sali- From the later dispatches it ap- pears that General Lee finally carried his point with the Sanish authorities and tbat the remains of Ruiz, the Cuban-American dentist, were ex-| humed and an autopsy held. ‘There were present a large number of Span- ish officers and the autopsy was held in the office of Gen. Frondeviela, Weyler’s chief butcher, by whose or- ders Ruiz was probably murdered, ‘There was present an American phy- sician with General Lee, but we are told he was not permitted to take part in the proceedings. It seems to have been wholly in the hands of the Span- ish, While it did not show that Dr. Ruiz had been murdered, we are as- sured it did not reveal any indications of suicide. The action of the author- ities from first to last in this matter has been such as to indicate a desire to cover something up, and the Amer- ican people will not be easily con- vinced that Dr. Ruiz was not mur- dered in bis cell ; neither will they be- lieve but that many others have gone the same road. Unquestionably the situation demands action by this} government which shall convince the Spanish authorities that Uncle Sam means business, It is said Gen. Lee's patience is about exhausted, and that he has politely but firmly informed the government that unless he can have its support he will not continue at his post. He is said to be de- termined to have a respectful hearing hereafter when it becomes necessary for him to make inquiries or interfere in behalf of the American citizens or know the reason for its refusal. We hope these sayings are all true and | that the day has arrived when Amer- ican citizens incarcerated in Spanish dungeons are about to secure the rights to which they are entitled un- der the existing treaties, Usually they are arrestel on flimsy pretexts thrown into prison where they are confined in dungeons without an atom of furniture, compelled to sleep on bare damp floors {without bedding of any kind, until their continued sence causes friends to make a search; and may be after several weeks they are found through the ef- forts of General Lee ab- or some other official, no effort ever having {been made to give them atrial, ‘This pro- cedure, it is said, General Lee determined to break up. His exper- jence teaches him that the force of aman of war is absolutely necessary to give effect to his de- mands and though it is denied that he has made such demand on the government, the statement is reiter- ated that he has asked that one be has moral | ent changes made were that the clause insuring indemnity to the city from any judgment that might be rendered on account of the above grant, ren- dering protection to the city, was |made more complete, and in regard }to the curves near Jefferson street | where the road is to cross. Farley moved to amend the | ordinance so as to require the rail- road to furnish needed gravel and keep the streets constantly in, repair. This was objected toon the part of railroad company on the ground that} any trifling oversight on the part of| the company might from time to time be made subjects of suits against it. It proposed to furnish the necessary gravel, but leave the repairs to be made by the city, and this plan was adopted. Capt. Farley moved that the ordi- nance be given first passage and Col. Q. Q. Quigley, attorney for the rail- road company, made a few remarks in regard to the ordinance. He said that he believed every bona fide citi- zen was in favor of securing for the |city every thing possible and right for her to have in the way of epter- | prise tending to assist in her develop. ment. He made quite a lengthy address, and offered a8 a substitute to one of |the amendments a clause providing that the railroad company shall fur- nish the gravel for the streets, the city to spread it. At the conclusion of the Colonel's remarks, Councilman Livingston asked if it were necessary to declare the franchise granted three or four years ago to the Chicago, Cairo and Paducah road, now forfeited by limi- tation, null and void, and Col. Hus- bands said that it was not necessary. Councilman Rinckleff substituted a more specific amendment in reg to the distribution of gravel for keeping the streets in repair, Mr, Rinckleff asked if the city could grant two rights of way over the d| river affecting the sewers and the ad- is just and equitable; to b uild the main ae in which fe entire city is interested, by a gene tax, and for the lteral or service} sewers, tax the propercy directly ben- | efitted, the amount of fon chargea- | ble to each lot to be determined by | its superficial area, | Carrying out the above idea, the} main sewer should be located so as to} benefit the yest possible territory and at the same time be as short as possible, thus reducing the amount of the genera! t to a minimum.

He said the city bad but one river front to give away Col. Quigley said for the enlight- enment of the council that the ques- tion was one between the railroads. Another amendment was made, prescribing that the tracks be placed 4s near in the center of the street as practicable, After considerable discussion the ordinance was placed on its first pas- suge. City Engineer Wilcox read the re- port of Sanitary Engineer Elliott in regard to sewerage, as compiled from data taken here week before last. It is quite voluminous, being in full as follows: To the Hon, Mayor and the Sewer Committee, Paducah, Ky. from Major Barnes, the chairman of the Sewer Committe, I visited your city the early part of last week made as thorough an examination as days and a half, and report as fol-|! lows: sent into Cuban waters, trolling factors ; u The topography of the city, thet — low, and for these very reasons stand most in Gentlemen :—In response to acall| unable to make a means limiting them usually to a yard closet and sink, tricts in Paducah, and also others of a better class, was possible in 60 short a time, two|¢ight feet above overflow.
