William A Moloy acting for Emily
j. n. Meloy, recently wrote to the Com
missioners Claiming damages on account
Of the change of grade OF the alley in
the rear Of premises 11s c Street north
west, square 574, which prevents the use
of the stable on said premises. The mat
ter was referred TO the surface division
Of the Engineer Department. and G. B.
Hunt, Computing Engineer, has report
ed as follows:
The alley referred to by the writer
was dedicated in 1873 by phraseology as
follows: This is to certify that / have
sUbdiVided lots > TO l6, both inclusive
as laid down in the above plat with the
alleys therein contained The alley paved
IS the one shown on this plat and has
been improved since then by District
funds and used as a thoroughfare. 1t is
believed To be unqucstionable that this is
a public alley, and as such the District
has very recently paved il under the as
sessment system. and Of necessity has
raised it's surface above the level of the
writer's lot in order TO make the pave
ment conform to the approved grade.
Under these circumstances 1 can only
regret that the topography leaves the
writer's property below the approved
grade of the alley, but | am unable TO
appreciate the legality or equity Oi the
claim for damages, because of the i'm
paired access to the writer's stable which
resulted from the operation Of paving"
1t is understood that the Commission
ers will approve the report and that Mr..
Meloy will be Informed accordingly.

UNUSUAL SNOW STORM.

New York Il Impossible.

Syracuse. Feb l9.-Northern and
Central New York are many feet deep
in the worst blizzard of the winter and
in sonc respects In recent years Over
a territory extending from Rochester to
Utica and from watertown to Ithaca,
the wind blew a gale and while il Is
not biting cold the fine snow driven by
the wind makes travel dangerous. In
the cities snowplows and shovel gangs
are keeping the street car tracks in semi
passable condition. but In the country
districts the roads are drifted 10 such
depths that travel is practically impos.
able.
Specials from outlying towns say that
worse conditions have never existed In
some cases communication with other
villages except by wire is entirely cut
OF now.
In Cortland county drifts 10 feet high
aro reported in the main roads and
travel is impossible. In the northern
counties the same story is told.

Vice President Roosevelt, now
President, has measured up fully to
the occasion and gives assurance of
fulfilling in able and patriotic style
promises long made by his friends
We confess to having shuddered al
the thought of his coming into
power, but our fears have about all
passed away. The country at large
seems to feel secure in the prospects
before it, aud the money market hal
not trembled in the slightest degree
Though most of our people be Dem
ocrats they are first of all good ant
patriotic citizens, and one and al
will do what they can to make thu
opening era rebound to the good O
our common country. With sucl
feelings we greet the new Presiden
and wish him "God speed" in tn
work laid out before him.

JOINTDEBATEs DECLINED

The Democratic State Committee
last week decided not to agree Il
joint debates between the Republi.
can and Democratic nominees. The
candidates, speakers and local com.
mittees are left free to arrange 70,
debates if desired.
On motion of Senator Glass it was
decided that the mandate for prima-
ries shall not be applicable to can
didates at the coming election, and
that committee of one from each
congressional district shall draft q
primary law and submit it to the
State Committee on January 18th,
1902.
w. a. Jones moved that all local
contests be decided by the district
committees. Ii. ID. Flood opposed,
taking the ground that the party
plan made it obligatory upon the
State Committee to settle these cues.
tons, and it could not delegate the
power. After brisk running fire,
the motion of Mr.. Jones was defeated.
The State Committee adopted res
olutions expressive of its deepest
sympathy for President Mckinley.
