Rather Inquisiilve.

A gentleman who recently passed over
the old Central R. r., from Rochester to
Syracuse, relates an amusing incident
that came under his observation before
reaching Auburn. An officer was on
the train, having in charge two convicts
destined for Auburn prison. The hands
of the convicts were free, and they sat
opposite one another, with irons on
their ankles, the officer occupying the
seat with one of them. Presently a
gentleman came in, whose hooked rose,
old fashioned silk hat and generally
seedy appearance indicated inquisitive-
ness, came along and to the seat beside
the convict.not noticing the irons. The
convict was an intelligent fellow, and
eyed his fellow passenger closely. Pres
emily the stranger said: "Pretty slow

rather slow when one is in hurry -
Stranger-aYes; you going down the
road far ?" Convict-"No, sir, / stop

ously of it, yes sir.' Stranger-"What

this noayd sUy tts auprUvui I think the resolution
ought 70 be referred 70 the Committee on Law. The
question OF rapid transit has been agitated for years
do not think one week delay VIII in the least
taTd the progress Of rapid transit
Mr. BiiIings-I repeat that think, at least as a pre-
eautionarv measure the Board ought 10 know the route
before taking action upon the road think the inter-
probation the Commissioners have put upon the Rapid
Transit act is a strained one.
Mr. seery-I think that the roeren ce Of the commu-
nication To the Committee Law that II has got
through with Comptroller Green and has plenty of time
resolution should be carefully considered before beng
acted upon
the consent Of this Board 10 locate the route they
would by this resolution do not think any company
would invest in the road without the approval of the
Common Council; so do not much danger in pass
ing this resolution now
Mr.. Blessng-In their deliberations over the location
Of the route the kind OF road that ought be built
the Commissioners excluded the public press II
they desire 10 get the route why don't
they come here in manly way but not resort to any
snap Judgment don't believe in that kind Of busi-
ness The law may be right far as know, but II is
not right II injustice can be done by II TO any class OF
citizens, as would be done II the Commissioners were
allowed 10 designate the route of the road before getting
the consent of this Board If any property Is injured
by the location Of the road the persons injured ought TO
be compensated and If safeguards have been thrown
about the Rapid Transit act looking 10 this end there
ought to be- At any rate want to be safe before vote
Mr.. Gilon said he thought all the discussion was not
exactly pertinent to the resolution embraced IN the

again members would perceive that fact
The resolution was then read, after which Mr.. Bill

Yesterday morning John P. Cox, stone mason

age was arragned before Justice Morse in the Second

assassinate Alderman Daniel oConnell by shooting him
on Pacific street. on Wednesday evening last The pris

adjournment of the until he could procure counsel
to defend himself The case was set down for
examination on Tuesday next The accused stated whom

Guilty between the Alderman and himself that he was
married six years ago to Miss Mullen, whose brother
and sister Mary came to live with them. He always
opposed the political aspirations Of Daniel oconnc in
the Ninth ward, he says, because he knew him to be

Mullen) died. and when he on his deathbed he ex
acted promise from Cox that he would be father TO
his sister Mary and care and guard her from harm.
When the prisoner left the city Miss Mary was over
twenty years OF age and had q good situation. She
went to board with Mrs Robinson Vanderbilt ave-
nue. few weeks ago he returned 10 BROOKLYN and was
astonshed to find that Mary had left Mrs Robnson's

inquiries he says he found that she had fallen into tho

from Mrs. Robnsons house, and induced her TO live at

TOLEDO Ohio August Is 1875

TOLEDO, Ohio August 15 1875.
To THE EDITOR OF HERALD-
have just finished reading the HERALD Of this morn
ing here in Toledo 700 miles away This is certainly
wonderful. Now II the be accomplished on
other days instead of Sunday and inducements can be
offered have the papers promptly placed sale at all
important points as in Philadelphia and Washing
ton 1t will be great advance in metropolitan Journal
ism.
While such rapid transt is being accomplished by
your enterprise it is amentabe that city transit which
is Of the most Importance is still the work Of horses
only wish that in my studesand research could find
better plan for city transit than the have
before the Rapid Transit Commission which was illus
trated and described in the HERALD of July TO- so,
would certainly recommend 1t as SUCH But as have
found mono do wish that my scheme was better under
Stood together with my plan for operating such road
In the first place would mention the idea of placing
my double track on single column in the mid
die Of the wide avenues. If this done 1t
would be in effect to lift the present horse
tracks with their succession of cars with their
ing noise and the hindrance they offer to ordinary
carriage and teamng travel-to lift them up of the
way, leaving only single column at intervals Of sixty
feet instead. This would leave such avenue much more
commodous than at present. Why in such case,
Third and Eighth avenues would become the peasantest
drives the lower part of the city AT the same time
the capacity OF the railway would be illmitaby in
creased and to the satisfaction Of its patrons said
would be lifting the present tracks and cars. Iwoud
have narrower gauge and lighter cars but have sew
eral cars in train.
Concerning the strength Of a column for such pur-
pose, think there Is not engineer In New York but
will say that castrOn column be made and placed
which will bear up the spre Of Trinity church. Nor
will any one say that one cannot be made
which will bear this little railway, If large enough
and the foundation broad enough. IL thirty inches
is found insufficient It can be sixty inches That is
matter easily determined OF in narrow streets
the railway will be either arch girders across the
street columns ut each side, But the valuable
feature Of my railway Is running the between the
grders that tho wheels are entirely out OF sight,
and consequently comparatively noiseess; but, above
ALL ii Is thus safe as surface road for the cars can
not get of the track, with broken wheel or axle
Then maintain that, aside from its safety, its COM
pacness and its beauty that no other construction can
give equal strength with the weight and cost Of
iron, j. NJ HANNAHS.

Step

This would accommodate eighteen passengers each
seat being paTtitioned from those either side similar
our erTyboats The capacity of the could be in
creased indefinitely by increasing its length Another
great advantage Of this system of construction not
noted by Mr.. Kohler would be the fact that in the
winter season and rainy days the doors would be
closed and passengers would not be exposed to cold
draughts admitted when conductors throw open tho
doors to collect fares from outside passengers.
