The Board Of Works yesterday granted
the Adams Brick Company the right to
lay a private switch across the first alley
west of Yandes street. The contract was
referred to the Council for it's considera-
ton.
The new plans for the East Market
space improvement were adopted. 1t was
decided that the driveways between the
stands should be twenty-five feet wide and
the stalls ten by six feet. The new plans
provide for 152 stands in all-forty less than
was originally suggested. and there will Dc
four d~riveways. Vehicles will not be per-
mitted to remain in the driveways at any
time. AS soon as the Improvement is com
pleted the marketers now occupying the
curb about the courthouse will be asked to
withdraw.

rae Poor Farm improvements.

The County Commissioners yesterday had
another conference with the State Board of
Charities IN relation 10 the improvements
20 be made at the Poor Farm. Some time
ago when the commissioner received plans
from different architects they submitted
them TO the State Board of Charities for
the approval of that body. The plans pro-
vided for a new b-ick building which would
relieve the overcrcwded condition of the
present building and afford separate wards
FOR the insane inmates. AT the conference
yesterday IL was suggested by the Board OF
Charities that the new building be erected
a half mile or more from the present build
ing. Member OF the board think this build
ing should be used 10 house the insane peo-
pie and that Il would be better TO have IL
at least a haGf mile away from the place
where the other inmates are kept. Com
missioner Harding favors this plan, but
Commissioners Greer and McGregor think
IL would cost the county too much money
10 maintain a building so far away IL
would require ar additional set OF attend
ants and IL would almost have 10 be looked
after as q separate institution.

A JUNK DEALERS AFFAIR.
Money That Harris Cohen Gave to q
COlOred Woman.

COlOred Woman.
Some time ago Richard Hardin, colored.
filed a suit in the Superior Court against
Harris Cohen. a junk dealer at 563 West
Washington street, alleging that Cohen had
alienated the affections of Ida Hardin, his
wife. Yesterday afternoon Justice Clark
heard a case brought by Cohen against
Ida Hardin for the wrongful conversion of
$50 of his money, alleging that the same was
to have been paid to lone Richard Hard
in," and that this was not done, being APP
propriated by her. Mrs. Hardin admitted
having received the money. but claims that
Cohen gave IL to her for the same reason,
as she claimed. he had during the last five
years given her various sums OF money.
One of the witnesses for the woman testi-
fled that on the evening of May Q, when
the money was paid, Cohen came to the
diana avenue, and asked to see her. They
retired to an upstairs room and about. two
hours later came down. Just before leav-
ing Cohen counted out $50 and gave 1t to
Mrs. Hardin, saying that the money just
paid made SIS he had given her. The wit
ness did not know the reason for paying
the money. The witness also said that be-
fore going out Cohen kissed Mrs. Hardin
and babe her goodbye.
Cohen denies the kissing and the payment
of the money for any purpose other than
as a consideration for the dismissal OF the
suit against him. and says the $50 was to
have been paid by Mrs. Hardin to her hus-
money whatever prior to this. except as
wages while she was in his employ as rag
picker at his place of business. Justice
Clark took the case under advisement-
