BUILDING PROJECT ABANDONED. y esterday
morning. the frame for new dwelling which
had been begun by some carpenters under con-
tract OF Geo. W. Rowell, on Third street, beyond
Broome, was pulled down. After the franc had
been erected, notification of the violation Of the
ordinance in relation to frame buildings was
served upon the carpenters by the Street Com
missioner, when work was suspended and an eff
fort made to pass through Council special or
dinance to meet this case and that Of Mary Ann
Morris, who had also begun the erection Of a
frame building at Tenth and French streets, and
exempt them from the requirements Of the pro-
visions of the ordinance above alluded to. Pend
ing final action on this special ordinance, which
was several weeks in consideration by our City
Fathers, the house at Tenth and French was
completed, but nothing further was done to Mr..
Rowell's dwelling, and the carpenters awaited
the ultimatum OF Council. The ordinance was
defeated, but the frame was allowed to stand
until yesterday when it was pulled down.

on a Rensselaer, and Saratoga train the

entered the car and took a seat. The
husband, wanting to smoke, left his wife
and went into the smoking-car. The
bride began to dozc. and while she
slept a stranger entered the car, and, as
it was crowded, quietly took a seat be-
side the young wife. Shortly she began
to nod, and doubtless, imagining that
her husband was, still in the seat, gently
reclined toward the stranger, and soon
her head fondly nestled on his breast.
At this juncture the husband returned.
