Against Their Windows.

Against Their Windows.
The Committee on Surveys met yesterday
afternoon and organized by electing Mr.. R. B.

on the 5th Of each month.
Among the numerous ordinances considered
by this committee was one locating Municipal
place, from Smithfeld street to a point 120 feet
below to the Hussey property. at a width of 80
feet. The intention of this ordinance is to
make public street of the property between
the postoffice building proper and City Hail. SO
that when the postoffice property is sold the
purchaser can be prevented from erecting a
building close to City Hall and shutting of the
light from the windows OH tie south side of the
building. The bill was recommended affirma-
lively.
An ordinance establishing the grade of
OHara street was laid over. petition from
the pennsylvania Tube Company for the vaca-
tion Of Commerce and Canton streets, running
through the company's property in the Four
teenth ward, was laid over. An ordinance
yacatlnG Elwood street from Negley avenue to
College avenue and one vacatlng portion Of
Marbury street were also laid over.
The following were affirmatively recon-.
mended: Vacating an alley between Tannehill
and Vine streets: reducing the width of por-
tlon OF Mlff1tn street; changing the name of
Barton street to Morewood avenue; vacating
Geneva street from Fisk to Fortieth streets;
Rutledge streeteast of Augusta street; Granite
street from Wylie to Heron avenues; Sample
street from BOquet street 375 feet eastward.
Locating Breed street. Tank alley, Caroline
street, Albert, Paul, Ellington, Meyers and
Finley streets, Smith way, Continental. Meadow,
Greenleaf. Well, Augusta, Edith and Alder
streets, Coltart square and Municipal place; re-
locating Indiana street, Heron avenue and the
west line of South Thirtieth street; establish
ing the grade of York alley and Washington
avenue.
Chief Bigelow Yesterday said that in accord
ance with the action of the Councils Committee
on surveys. the Government property next
Municipal Hall ought to be purchased to secure
light and ventilation. He thought the ground
would be appraised at about $1,000 per foot
front. The difficulty is that if manufacturing
or commercial building takes the place of the
old postofice, it will be built up to the limit of
the space and shut off light from the City
Treasurer, the City Clerk totally and one
Council chamber on one side.

Metropolis for Duty.
Robert D. Layton, Immigrant Inspector. re-
ceived a letter yesterday from the Treasury
Department at Washington instructing him to

friends claim it will be great Inconvenience
to him to be moved to New York. They talk
of protesting against his removal, as there is no

An Attempt Will be Made TO Give Away the
First Ward Square.
The bill providing for a Government
building for Allegheny passed the Senate yes
terday. 1t has created much excitement in
Allegheny, but no one knows just where the
new building will be located. 1t will, at least
be in the locality of City Hall. An attempt
will also be made to give the First ward square
for the purpose.
Recorder Graham. in speaking of the matter
last night said: THE Government will not
build on any ground unless they own it. The
only way by which this square could be given
is by securing the consent of all the people
who hold property inside the parks. They are
the only persons who would have any control
of the matter. They made a gift in that man.

A One Eyed Man Makes q Peculiar Clnim
Against an Insurance Society.

Against an Insurance Society.
The suit of David Humphreys against the
National Beneficial Association is on trial be-
fore Judge White. Humphreys took out an
insurance policy good for s., 600 in case he lost
both eyes. both arms or legs. etc., but no NEIL
tion is made in the policy of the loss of single
eye or limb.
Humphreys. however. was blind OF one eye
when he took the policy out and afterward
losing the other claimed the amount of insur-
ance. The company refused to pay on the
ground that Humphrey had lost but one eye
since he took out the policy, and was therefore
entitled to nothing.
