THE NEW WASHINGTON STREET.
The Street Will be So Feet Wide
and Have Two Car Tracks,

The Common Council last evening
passed resolution ordering the widening
of Washington street from Eddy street to
Walker streets.
The street Is 42 feet aud fraction wide
feet wide from Walker TO Dean street. IL
Is proposed to take of the Is feet on the
south side rs IL will be less expensive, the
only buildings TO be seriously affected be-
ing the Blackstone Hall, the Baker Block
and the st. George Hotel.
aud 1t will probably be- remodeled and let
for Offices after the slice has been taken
off IL. as it will be then too small Tor
profitable hall. The proposed improve
ment will nearly wipe out the st. George
Hotel. leaving "A strip only twelve feet
wide.
The Central Real Estate Co. is building
at present directly back OF this on
Mathewson street and would, no doubt,
be willing to pay well for the land.
The Baker block and Slade building
will be affected alike, but as the Slade
building extends back much farther than
the Baker block, the latter will be dam
aged TO the greater extent.
The original plan was to widen from
Dorrance TO Walker street, but as the
City Hall sits nearly on "a line with the
proposed street aud only juts few inches,
the city will hereafter decide what to do
in that case.
The distance between curbs Is now "a
feet and under the new plan 1T will be
either 36 or 40 feet. Whether the side
walks will be 10 or II feet wide Is yet to
be determined.
1t is thought by some that the improve
ment will increase the trefiic on the walks
SO that q l2-foot sidewalk will De neces-
sary, but IL will be many years before
there will need TO be the same width as at
present is on Westminster rect
The improvement is looked upon as
great stride in relieving Westminster
street Of its burden or travel and with
two car tracks Washington street may
become one Of the principal streets OF the
city.
Many Of the owners of property on the
street have petitioned for the widening
and there are comparatively few object
ors, as all the buildings to be cut oil,
with the exception OF the few named
above, are of wood, and the most of them
old and unsightly.

Brischer of Guttenberg's Queer Way of
Disposing of Thieves.

Brischer of Guttenberg's Queer Way of
Disposing of Thieves.
Justice Brischer of Gutenberg has
succeeded in getting himself into ''peck
of trouble" On Sunday. John Murray
and Gustave Darling were prisoners be-
fore him. They were accused of having
stolen diamond pin from man at the
Gutenberg race track the day before.
The pin was found in the possession of
one of them.
Justice Brischer, in violation of the
statute convened Court to try the accused
on Sunday. When he had heard the evil
dence, it is charged he asked the men
whether they would prefer to take ninety
days in the Penitentiary as dtsorderly
persons, or be committed to the County
on charge of larceny from the person.
The men wisely chose the Penitentiary
and were sent there.
They Immediately sent for Lawyer
Ryerson, who said they had been illegally
committed on Sunday, and that he would
get them released on a writ of habeas
corpus.
The application was made to Judge
LippincotJ today and allowed The
prisoners thought they were free
men again until Prosecutor Winfield
interfered and asked the Court TO hold
them on charge of larceny from the
person, until the whole matter could be
ventilated. Justice Brischer will be
notified to appear in Court and explain
his curious methods of dispensing justice
and 1t is thought probable that the mat
Ter will go before the Grand Jury.
