A PUBLIC HEARING.
Commissioners on Charles Street
Widening to Hold One.
Suspicious Characters Arres,ed-Olher
North End Matters.

Tomorrow there will be hearing on
the old but still exciting question of
widening Charles street betw cen Randall
square and Mill street. at room B, city
hall The com mmissioners appointed by
the Supreme Court will conduct tie
hearing, the object OF which will be to
mako the estimates and assessments re-
quired OF them by the act Of the General
Assembly. The men who conduct the
large manufactures north NJ Mill street
arc still as heartily in favor OF the I'M
provement as ever, though some OF the
owners OF property on Charles street,
who will have to bear part OF the ex-
pense of the improvement, are disposed to
grumble little. Then, again. some folk
who are out OF work are apt to look at
the matter In cynical way, and say
that in tho present condition of trade the
street is. wide enough. The majority OF
residents OF the locality that will be
affected by the improvement join with
the .wide-awake men whose capital Is in
vested in the mills and shops and hope
that the Improvement may be made as
soon as possible.
TRAMPs AGAIN TOO NUMEROUS.
For some time there has been quite
an absence of suspicious characters in
Il is part of the city, but last night the
charm was broken and four men who
could not give a satisfactory explanation
of themselves fell into the hands OF the
police. Two of them were young men
who gave .the names of Abraham and
Schuster, and who said their ages were
is and 10 years respectively. They were
found acting in suspicious manner on
Branch avenue by officer Gamble.
