THE BUILDING COMMITTEE
PUBLIC HEARING ON AN IM- PORTANT ORDER.

The Petitioners Base Their prsver on
 Sanitary Grounds--Matter Indeflnitely Postponed.
 The committee on buildings gave a public hearing last evening on the pro- posed order to prohibit the erection or maintenance of any building to contain two or more families in the rear of any lot in the city Of New Haven.
 Attorney George l.. Armstrong was before the committee advocating the passage of the order on the ground that 1t would prohibit the crowding of poor families in crowded quarters where disease, vice and igorance would be fas- tened.
 James B. Kelly of 3S Frank street sad there were many deep lots hayins. small houses upon them and it would be only few years when these houses would be pushed to the back of the lots. The ground they now occupy will be needed for better houses and if this order be passed it will take away the revenue of great many poor people who could otherwise have comfortable homes. He thought the matter should be left to the discretion of the fire com- missioners. That board was a compe4 tent judge in these matters and should have control of it.
 Commissioner William H. Mcdonald said that the objection to these build- ings were that no convenience was given the firemen to get at the fires which occur in them. The size of the building did not count as much of an objection as did this feature of the buildings.
 Fire Marshal Hubbard said that the whole matter would be covered in the proposed building ordinance that is now being considered in the committee on ordinances It was now in the hands of the building commission.
 Action on the petition was indefinitely postponed.
 The petition of Mrs. Peter Mcintyre of 5S3 Grand avenue to remove frame building to the rear of the lot came up.
 The fire commissioners before whom the case was first brought refused to grant the request and it was appealed to the court of common council.
 The petitioner was not ready to ap- pear last evening and the case was tabled indefinitely.

A Small Boy Injured.

The five-year-old son of John T. Tier nan, 465 Congress avenue. was injured yesterday about o'clock D. m. by an eight-pounG shot falling on him.
 Some young men were putting the shot" in a vacant lot near the boys home and he with several of his asso- ciates were watching them.
 It seems that the young men had warned the children against the dan ger and had taken the Herman child out of the way twice. The third time he ran into danger it was too late to rescue him. It is feared that the boy is seriously injured.

INTERVIEWING EXHIBITION
iven by Dr. Scripture in the Yale PsychoA
 logical Laboratory-The Lantern-Stereo4

Given by Dr. Scripture in the Yale PsychoA
 logical Laboratory-The Lantern-StereO4
 scope.
 An interesting exhibition of the 1an- tern stereoscope, a new invention, was given in the Yale psychological labora.- tory last evening. This apparatus is a gift to the laboratory from the inven- tor, John Anderton of England and is the only one in America. By means of it pictures are projected on a screen so that they are seen in relief like solid objects. The pictures are projected by two lanterns and polarized light. They apepar on the screen as a con- fused mixture, but by means of a small eye glass they are separated before the eyes and are seen as if the real objects were before the eyes. It is expected that the lantern stereoscope will be of great value in showing models, speci- mens apparatus, etc, on large scale. A triple lantern is used for work in colors and is the work of a French sci- enlist.

RoBBED THE MONEY rILL.
Ex-Alderman Benham Enlists the Police With Good Results-Gibson Hides Be- hind Flour Sacks and Catches the Thief.

EN-Alderman Benham EnliStS the Police
 With Good Results-Gibson Hides Be-
 hind Flour Sacks and Catches the Thief.
 Alderman J. T. Benham has of late found that the money till at his store at 27 Broadway has been robbed of it's contents during the hours the store has been closed. So frequently did these occurrences come around that MT. Benham decided to notify Captain Brewer of the Dixwell avenue precinct, so that steps could be taken to eaten the thief.
 Detective Gibson was put on the case and last evening he determined to se- crete himself within the store and wait for developments. He did not have long to wait, for scarcely had he en- sconced himself behind a pile of flour sacks, keeping in such a position as to enable him to see the money till with out being himself seen, when he heard a noise at the window in the rear of the room.
 The window gave way to the efforts of the person who was the cause of the noise, and but 8 moment elapsed be- fore a slender youth, about fourteen years old, entered through the open window and went directly to the money till.
 The officer watched the performance until the boy had extracted all the money there was in it. Detective Gibson left his hiding place and arrested the boy, who gave his name as Samuel Harper and residence No. 3 Broadway.
 Harper will be arraigned this morn ing in the city court, charged with bur glary.

NOT DAMAGING THE RIVER.
SECRETARY TUCKER SAYS THAT
THE CLAIM is ABSURD.

Major c. w, Raymond, Colonel
Henry M. Roberts and Colonel II. c..
Haines, the United States Board of
Engineers appointed to Investigate the
objections now being raised through
out eastern Delaware to the construc-
tion of Liston Point dixie, left town
yesterday afternoon, after an interview
with General w. f. Smith at his Of
fee.
The board will prepare a report to
be forwarded to the War Department,
and thence to Congress, on the boards
hearing of the objections of these Del
aware property owners, as has been re-
Quired Of them Therefore. nothing
further is expected to be made public
until the report comes up in Congress.
Secretary Tucker of the Philadel-
phia Board of Trade, said to a Journal
reporter:
This whole matter Is absurd, and
the claims made by some OF these Della
ware people are the dlrest nonsense.
The idea OF anybody claiming that a
United States Board OF Engineers
would advance any scheme that meant
injury to one people to benefit an
other. It's unreasonable, and would
not hold water anywhere.
Besides this, our Board Of Engi-
neers Is under the supervision of an
nspector-general, located in New
York, and they would not dare to
harm fellow-citizens of the United
States to benefit others, even
II they were all mercenary men
In some dark scheme"
But, Mr.. Secretary" interrupted the
reporter, there is a charge made that
you Philadelphia shipping men are
dumping mud in the channel west of
Pea Patch Island and planning to block
off all the Delaware shore south to Lis
ton Point, simply to block any pros
poets for Baltimore getting her ship
canal through to the Delaware bay.
These improvements, you know, cover
all the proposed sites for a ship ca
nal"
We'll. anybody who makes such a
charge is a - fool" was Mr. fuckers
prompt reply. 1T is, again, most un-
reasonable. The engineers must make
report Of the movement of all dredg-
ings and the percentages of shoaling
resulting from same Every infites-
imal displacement of mud must come
before the war department officials,
just as your business in the newspaper
lire, details must come in toto into the
business office"
Major c. w. Raymond, Colonel Henry
M. Roberts, Colonel H. G. Haines, COM
prising the Board of United States En-
gineers, appointed by the secretary of
war to hear the opposition and inves-
tigate the claim of Delawareans con-
cerning the construction of Liston
Point dyke, came TO New Castle at
1130 to-day Colonel Haines stated to
an Evening Journal reporter that it is
necessary for the board to make a
personal inspection, the board making
It's report to the secretary of war.

To the Editor of the Evening Journal.
Mr.. Editor: / trust you will be kind
enough as to allow me to say that 1
was not mobbed at New Castle on
Wednesday evening. Being in that city
attending to some business with James
Painter, | was informed there was be-
ing held q public mass meeting by the
citizens of my race in the Red Mems S
Hall. ] concluded to go there. On
my arrival, at 500, l found the meet
ing not open. There seemed to be
much confusion as to who should be
chairman. Finally, j. Trusty was
agreed upon. He called the speakers,
William Clayton and William Lewis,
upon the stage. / stood in the front OF
the hall. Several of my old band asso-
ciates gathered around me; we shook
hands. / was then invited upon the
stage by Clayton and Lewis. 1 de-
clined, saying l would rather remain
where / was, but when the desire be-
came universal, / yielded to the re-
quest After Clayton and Lewis had
their say, a colored man. named Mas
sey l learn, said if there was a Hig-
gins man on that stage put him out.
He looked directly at me, and repeated
his remark, which did not find favor
with those present. 1 was repeatedly
called to say few words, and to sat
isfy my many friends, l proceeded to
reply to Mr.. Massey by simply saying
that If he knew me he would not desire
to put me out. / told him I weighed
200 pounds, and II he undertook to put
me out he might find me rather heavy.
/ then proceeded to talk on the national
and state issues, and ON coming down
to state issues, Clayton saw / had the
close attention of the small audience,
he tried TO break me down by many
cross questions. This attempt on his
part caused the people to leave the
hall, the meeting was declared ad-
iourned by the chairman. Many crowd
ed around me and re-shook my hand
No one attempted to mob me. l do not
believe there is one single colOred man
in New Castle, or elsewhere, who would
undertake to mob me. They know me
too well. My teaching music through
out the state, and organizing bands
and societies for twenty-five years has
not been in vain. have held large
sums of their hard-earned money
time and time again, and If any OF
them can say I was dishonest, let them
now speak. No, Mr. Editor, / was not
mobbed. Yours for victory,
