some days. and yesterday found its way into New
Yark paper to the effect that the charter OF the
Kings County Elevated road had passed into the

inquiry after the particulars yesterday developed
the probable reason why they not given in the
first place-that is that there has been such sale.
and It is not q matter o. negotiation. Parties
who must necessarily have been privy to any such
sale declared that they had heard nothing of it.
