 Old City Market Site.

| ihc iueH or uhSihs sub-smtLoh at tns | Old City Market Site.
 | The matter of building sub-station on the site of the old City market, which was broached in the Courier of yester- day at the desire of many prominent business men, has met with great deal of favorable comment about town among the leading merchants in the center of the city. The old structure was m eye-sore to all, and the fact of Its being in the center of city of 100, ,000 people has been commented upon by all observing visitors to the city. Now is the time, the gentlemen urge, for the railroad company to build n sub-station that will be credit to the city, and one which will compare with the other elegant buildings that the railroad company has erected in this city and other parts of the state. One of our leading merchants has Il plan which no doubt would meet with favor among the directors of the road, and that Is to erect q sub-station on Chapel street and an arcade at the Wooster street end to accommodate ten or fifteen stores.
 Frank W. Canada, of Brooks & Oo., is also very favorable to the sub-stuton scheme.
 "In Newark. which is of about the size of this city, they have three cen- trally located stations" said MT. Can ada this morning. "And similar policy is pursued In most of the large cities. In Middletown, Bridgeport, Danbury, Ansonia, and many other large towns of this state, the station is right in the center of the town, and why should 1t not be here, the largest town in the state? Of what great accommo- dation it would le to all the towns on the north and east of us whose people come here to trade. They do not wish to be taken down to the new depot, three-quarters of mile from city hall. Why, the new depot that is to be built will still be half mile away from the city hall.
 Charles M. Walker, of the Charles Monson company, spoke in similar terms about the proposed sub-station. He is very anxious to see the matter pushed through and says the present is just the time to make the change. He believes that the large local travel to and from the north and east Is of sufficient importance to receive some inward trains at least should stop at the old depot.
 General George H. Ford said that such q sub-station would prove of great convenience for the people from the north and east who come to this city to shop, as well as to business men whose business in New Haven is in the center of the city. General Ford instanced Chicago and Philadelphia, whose sub- stations on all the leading railroads were exceedingly numerous and by which the people were landed right where they wished to stop. Another matter that he advocated was the bridg- ing of the entire cut.
 Justin E. Burgess of the Burgess Fur and Hat company said the project was q fine one and could but benefit the city and the public and prove great public convenience. Now was the time to thus greatly improve this important point. The stopping of accommodating trains at this point would be hailed with anticipation by thousands.
 Jacob Broschart has opened new store at 59 Union street. He also is heartily in favor of a substation scheme. His account books were ill his safe and were not at all damaged by the fire. In looking over the debris yesterday he found seven or eight pieces of money under the safe that showed that they had been subjected to intense heat. A number of Italians were also busy yes- terday eating some of his fine meats, which they found under the depot early Thursday morning,
