Gray laid the facts .bsfora Grand Juror John H. Hoyt, who investigated the case and issued a warrant for the girl‘s arrest. She was given a hearing Wednesday night before Justice. George D. Keeler. He heard Ira. Kl-in‘s state- ment and ordered the child committed to the industrial school. Her mother was appointed guardmn, and the child remanded to Mrs. Klein's custody until ymterday morning. so that she could get some clothing ready. The commit» ment papers were made out at the time of the trial and _ given to Constable Thomas Bout. who deferred going after the child until yesterday morning.

Deeming discretion the better part of valor. they did not seek to ihtefero with the plan Budna had apparently mapped out, and which, from the expression on his countenance. he would have been only too pleased to put into « ill-ct. The gentlemen saw him board a train for South Sorwaik. They followed. and when South Norwalk was reached Chief of Police Vollnisr and the oilicers were noliiiul, and a search was at once insti- tuted for Budna. About 5:30 o'clock Oilicer Decker cap« tuved him at the corner of South Ilain and Washington streets, and with the assistance of Ollicers Gladstone and Pen- nington placed him in the lockup.

A number of trees were also to be removed. J. D inovan, Jr , desired to know’if it was aha proposed to build sidewalks. and receiving a reply in the affirmative, he inquired of the city attorney if it was proper to grade the sidewalks to a level with the street. Hr. Light said a recent decision of the Supreme Court had established a rule whereby such was the case, and that a man would not be compelled to lay a sidewalk if the walk was not graded to the height of the street. bfr. Donovan madea motion that the matter be laid on the table until after a further investigation had been made. Councilman Fox said that it had been laid on the table for the past five yean. and he thought it was time something was done J. L Richards said the street was laid out from sixty to eighty feet wide. which should give sidewalks ten feet wide, and a street sixty, while those in the city were only thirty feet Wide, with side- walks five feet. To this Ilr Fox replied that already they had been found too narrow for busi- nem purposes and that West street was originally laid out ninety-nine feet wide Mr. Swans inquired ‘where the other thirty-nine feet was. and received a reply that it formed a part of the door- yards on the street.

The law is unreason- able and the Legislature ought to change it.

The Grand Central stition in New York is to occupy nearly twice as large an area as at present. As a preliminary step negotiations are in progress whereby the New York Cen- tral railroad corporation hopes to ac quire title to the whole block of land bounded by Fortyvaeoond and Forty- thlrd streets, Madisin and Vanderbilt avenues. All the arrangements have not been completed as yet. but it is ex- pected that the contracts for the greater part of the land will be really for sign» turns in a few days. Not that the corporation will have to purchase all this ground. for it already owns a strip along Vanderbilt avenue from corner to corner. But the greater partof theblook belongs to the Church of the Holy Trinity. whose house of worship is at Forty-second street and Indiana avenue. and to acquire this land the railroad corporation will have to pay out from its treasury clone to 91.000.000.
