TO BE THE' FINEST. it Will Take a Year to Complete the Great Changes. NEW HAVEN, March 25.—It was learned to-day that a new contract .be- tween the Harlem, New York Central and New York, New Haven and Hart- ’fordRailroad companies,for making the Grand Central station into a Union sta' tion for the common use of the New York Central and. New Haven railroad companies, has been just executed. President Callaway, for the New York Central, and Vice-President Hall, for the New Haven road, have been at work for several weeks in revising and amending the old.contracts and leases existing between the several companies so as to adapt them to the proposed new station, and finally succeeded in making a draft irihich has been ap- proved by the several boards of direc- tors and of all the companies interested. The waiting room in the Union sta- tion will, probably be the largest and finest in the United States, containing 1,000 more square feet. than that of the great South Terminal in Boston. It is proposed to commence the work of re- construction about June 1, and push it as rapidly as possible. It is estimated that it will take a year to complete the changes proposed. The traveling. public will necessarily be somewhat incommodedlduring the progress of the‘work, but all who have occasion to use the present station will, doubtless, gladly suffer some tem-~ porary inconvenience rather than to endure longer the crowded and insuffi- cient accommodations now afforded. When completed, the New Haven road will have at its terminals in New York and Boston, two of the largest and most elegant waiting rooms for the comfort of its passengers of any rail- road in the world.

' FOURTH DAY OFTRlAL. Trial Adjourned Until Monday and thelury A Excused- The fourth day of the trial of Nancy A. Guilford, the midwife, on a charge alleging murder in the second degree, was equally as dull as the three days preceding it. Yesterday the witnesses without an exception testified as to the identity of the dead girl’s head. A number of witnesses, including five' members of Emma Gill’s family, were introduced by the state to show that the head was that of Emma Gill. Dr. Edward S. Rosenbluth, a South- ington dentist, was called to the wit- ness stand at 2:30 o’clock and remained there until the court adjourned at 5 p. in His direct examination lasted one hour and for an hour and a half he Was cross-examined by counsel for the defense. Dr. Rosenbluth testified that he had done work for Emma Gill in life and that he examined the teeth of the victim of the Yellow Mile pond tragedy at the cemetery in Southington. He was positive, he said, that the head was that of Emma Gill as he recognized his work. The dentist’s testimony was of a very technical character, counsel for the defense on the cross-examination obliging him to describe with great care the work he had done on Emma Gill’s teeth and how he identified the head of the dead girl as that of Emma. At 5 p. m. the jury‘was excused until 10 a. m. Monday morning and Dr. Ro- senbluthwill again take thcwstzindat that time. 7 A Must Get Within the Limit.

THE-WHEEL. lllM inn GAME Attempted With Frank Beck- ' er and Worked on Max Baratz. WEREWELL DRESSED. And the Men Easily Operated Their Game on Their Unsuspectmg Victim. Two good looking, well dressed and well educated strangers went into Frank Becker’s cafe on the corner of Washington and Water streets about seven o’clock last night and tried to work the “dim fiam” game. One of them bought two cigars and threw down a $10'bill. Becker put the bill in the cash drawer and gave .the man his change. The man seemed very much surprised at the quantity of change and said, “I thought I gave you a $1 bill, I don’t want so much change. Give me a five for five .ones.” He held out the five one’s and Becker put the five on the counter-the man attempted to get him confused by talking to him. The first man then said, “Give me a ten for this, please” and he put the five $1 bills and Becker’s $5 down on the counter. But Becker “tumbled to the game,” and the men got out. ' ' They then proceeded to Max Baratz’s grocery store and tried the same game, one buying crackers and getting a bill changed "while the other conversing with Baratz endeavored to confuse him. The men succeeded in buncoing Baratz out of $4: and they skipped be- fore he had recovered from his sur- .1 prise and let the police know. ‘v' Pioneer’s Candidate Resumes His Old ‘Place in the Lead.

Gets Decision Over Choynski in Twentieth Round.'_ SAN FRANCISCO, March 25.——Wit‘n g’l‘eat cleverness and ring generalship which was apparent from the first round, “Kid” McCoy was very proper- 1y awarded the decision over Joe Choyn- ski at the end of the 20th round for the National Athletic' club in Mechanics’ pavilion last night. It was a very pret- ty fight, but it was almost entirely in favorjfpf the younggman. , . Wfioy'won'and-WOU easily. He had the fight in his hands’and at any one of: the half a dozen palpable opportun- ities he could have administered a de- cisive and knockout blow. But' again and again he failed to follow up his ad- vantage and Choynski was considered lucky to be able to stay the 20 rounds. McCoy was the aggressor in his own fashion, drawing Choynski out, except in the second round when Joe landed thrice in succession, but not very ef- fectively, and again in the 11th when the “Kid” was painfully resting and simply out of reach. In the fifth round Joe was apparent- ly going under the furious rain of Me- Coy’s blows, but Joe was saved by the gong after the brief respite and rallied and fought his uphill task. But he did not seem to like the game. Mc- Coy’s stomach blows particularly, were little to his liking and he winced pitifully under the frequent punish- ment which he received. On the other hand Joe could not reach the "Kid” effectively, who was entirely tOo clever for him in getting away. When Joe did land it was frequently upon ,Mc- Coy’s small, hard head and the blows did more damage to Joe’s hands than toi’the objective point. . ‘ Conductor Charles Williams of the Red Line has moved frOm Cross street ' toigferwin street. lanolin HELD.
