AN IMPROVEMENT PROJECTED. - The
Committee on Surveys OF Council have had before
them the question of wideninV blddle street. from
lallOwhlll to lwentyttth street. along the foot of
FairmOunt Reservoir. Biddle street IS now twenty
feet wide between cuIbs and it IS proposed to make
1t the means OF communication between spring Gar
den street and the ire Bridge by widening the
carriage way TO twenty nine feet six inches and the
footway the south side from nine to twelve feet
and on the north to sixteen feet which can be done
without interfering with the fine avenue of trees now
growing This improvement will be q very desirable
one for this section OF the city.

A PROBABLE CASE OF HOMICIDE BY
BoYs.-Two young lads were arres ed on thursday

Lutz to await the result of injuries inflicted upon an

thrown so severely that is skull was fractured and
his recovery is very doubtful. These unlawful
gatherings should be firmly repressed, and such
punishment inflicted upon the offending lads that
parents may be led 10 take active measures to pre-.
vent their engagement therein.
