Not much was accomplished by the deposcd
Police Justices yesterday in their attempt to
make 4 case whereby they can test the law
under which the City Magistrates are acting.
Apparently the doughty Hogan is still the Gus
fodian Of the man Thornton who was fined by
the impromptu Court Of Special Sessions held
In public hallway on Monday by several Of the
ex-Jus,ices. That farccal proceeding was fol
lowed by an application for writ Of habeas
corpus Justice Stovcr. OF the Supreme Court.
soiemnly declared yesterday that Thornton's
liberty did not seem to be- in danger. aud he saw
no reason why the Court should act. However,
an adjournmcn, vas taken until Friday, when
perhaps Grady. Hogan and Co may have as
tonishing developments in store.
A subject which commanded attention dur
Ing the recent session Of the Legislature was the
necessity Of reforms in the methods of procedure,
80 as to permit more intelligent action by The
Senators and AsSemblymcn. Assembyman
Sanger was especially Jealous in agitatng the
matter. and on his urgency bill was passed
authorizing the Governor TO appoint a commits

Der Of the Legislature. The members Of the
commission are all men Of experience in public
affairs, and their recommendations will carry
much weight.
The appointment Of Professor Mark w. Har-
rington as Chief Of the Weather Bureau by Pres
dent Harrison was universally recognized as
based on pre-eminent fitness. There no
politics in 1t. Professor Harrington Is man OF
scientific training and an expert in the field Of
meteorology; an ideal man for the Office which
he has filed for three years. Unhapplly. how
ever, his relations with Secretary Morton. of the
Department Of Agriculture, have for some time
been strained, and Mr.. Morton has onged for
the removal OF the obnoxious chief Finally
President Cleveland yielded to the Secretarys
opportunities and called for Mr.. Harringtons
resignation. This was refused, and his removal
promptly followed. Mr. Harrington has steadily

this view and the recommendations made IN
the report OF Water Purveyor North were adopt

for asphalt pavements is contemplated. and the
smooth pavements are to be put where they will
do the most good.
Assurance that the streets Of the city will be
kept clean was furnished yesterday by the ac'on
Of the Board of Estimate which provided for
the issue Of bonds to the amount OF SSo,6S9 IN
order TO produce additional money for street
cleaning This course was taken on the certln
cate Of the Board Of Health that this amount
would be needed and. in accordance with the
terms Of the Emergency act OF 1873. the money
must be expended under the direction OF the
Board OF Health. The action OF the Board OF
Estimate was unanimous. and II is expected
that similar provision will be made for each OF
the remaining months of the year. the city Is
now learning for the first time by actual expert
