the State Legislature bill which has become
law and is likely to thru. about 10000 Ameri-
can citizens out OF a. 10 rent besides stop
ping paving of the sire, Of the cities In the
State with granite blocks.
The local contractors only became aware how
seriously the provisions Of the bill affected their
interests few days ago through n communica-
tion from Commissioner OF Public Works
Michael T. DAILY. The bill was introduced by
Mr.. Tobin to obllge the Central Labor Union.
Its provisions and Commissioner Days com

and John q. Smith.
A contractor explained that he thought
mistake was made when the bill was being pre-
pared. The Central Labor Union had II brought
forward In the interests OF a couple of hundred
local granite cutters, and those who prepared
the bill were ignorant Of the consequences that
would result. The consequences are:
More than 5000 granite block cutters and
helpers working in the quarries of the New Eng

their labor;
Nearly 1000 PAYERS and hammer men through
out the State a large proportion of them resid-
ing in this city and Brooklyn, will be thrown
out OF employment owing 10 lack OF materials
to work with.
The cost OF granite paving blocks 10 the city
will be increased threefold owing to the neces-
sity OF bringing on the granite In bulk from the
quarres, and the contractors Will have to rent
additional yards.
The cost Of granite paving is about a third
lower than that OF asphalt. Contractors say
that under TObin's act granite paving will cost
about double the price OF asphalt

From Conyicfaon.
Stories of conviction ON circumstan-

and have afforded the plot of many q
novel, said ]. s. Haberling Of New
York. "A very sad case, not Of con-
viction, but almost as bad in its results,
occurred In New York recently. Al
young lady Of refinement, q stranger In
the city, obtained employment as gov
erness in q gentleman's family. One Of
her pupils, a girl 15 years old, lost b
diamond ring. It was found in tho
desk of the governess. She declared
she had not seen 1t since it was last ON
the girls hand, but she was hustled on
TO the Tombs, and unable to give bond
was kept there several days, exposed to
the companionship of the most depraved
OF her sex. She was taken TO court in
the Black Maria with q negress and q
white woman. both convicted felons, go-
ing TO be sentenced. She was kept in
the pen waiting for her case to be called.
exposed to the impudent gaze Of the
horde of courtroom loafers.
when hor case was called, the court
appointed a lawyer to defend her, a she
was penniless. The prosecuting witness
and her father told the story Of the find-
ing Of the missing ring. The peesump.
tion that the accused had placed it there
was more or less strong until the law
yer began to cross question the owner of
the ring. Guessing at the truth, by
adroit questioning he drew from the
unwilling witness the fact that she had
often pried into the desk and dressing
case drawers of the governess, and that
she had been so engaged an hour or so
before she missed her ring. and the fur
Their fact that the ring fitted loosely.
The judge dismissed the case promptly,
