Building Problems.

Tho Council IS confronted by two in
terestng and important building cues
tons. First and foremost IS the demand
for an auditorium OF sufficient capacity to
accommodate conventions Of moderate
size This need has been apparent for
a long time. and the Council has IN
dosultory way made several attempts 70
supply this deficiency. At present there
SIS great likelihood that II viii not 10 sup
Piled in time TO caro- for the great Baptist
Convention. which desires TO hold its
sessions here next summer. Some months
ago tho Council was offered the privi-
lege Of having the Confederate Memorial
Auditorium erected IN this city If thay
would furnish a site. No definite action
was taken on this ofer which IS an
parenuy stiu in the air. There has been
much discussion OF transforming tho
Third Market Hall into an auditorium.
but like the Confederate Memorial build
ing- this has produced nothing but dis
cussion so far. Meantime the public IS
suffering and the opportunity for caring
for large number OF desirable visitors
is being lost Il seems hardly neces-
sary TO cali the Councils attention to the
foct that it is absolutely essential for
action 20 be taken at once II the CITY

tho proposed auditorium during the year
1907.
The other problem concerns the old
Market which is desired by a number
of citizens as site for the Railroad Y. II.
G.. A.
1t is uniformly admitted that the cree
tion Of "a Railroad ". NJ c. A. on the
site OF tho Old Market, facing Main
street would be OF great benefit TO the
railroad employees, who are lea by their
duties TO congregate in that part of the
city. and would also be an advantage to
tho propcrty-owncrs in the neighborhood.
Ihe Tlmos-Dispatoh is informed that
committee Of citizens IS anxious to pur-
chase this property from the city upon
such terms as may be aliudged reason

SLAIN BY MILLIONAIRE.
Harry K. Thaw Of Rittsburs Kills
Stanford White, Famous Architect.


New York, June 20 Stanford White,
famous architect, millionaire and art
connoisseur, attended the first per-
Torrance Of mile Champagne" at
the Madison Square Roof garden last
night and while enjoying the show
was assassinated by Harry X. Thaw,
the Pittsburg millionaire who won
fame about two years ago by marry
ing Evelyn Florence Nesbit, beauti-
full actress and artists model Thaw,
after his arrest, said that White ruined
his wife. He is a member Of very
wealthy Pittsburg faanily.
Few architects In this country have
fession of Stanford White. It was one
of the ironies of fate that he met death
in the building which must stand as
bis greatest monument, the Madison
Square Garden.
White was born in this city on Nov.
0, 1853, and was educated in the Uni
versity of New York. He received his
architectural training with Charles d.
Gambrill and H. H. Richardson. He
was the chief assistant to Richardson
in the designing Of the famous Trini-
ty church in Boston.
From 1878 to 1880 White Travelled
in Europe, studying all the finest exam
pies of old world architecture, and he
returned to settle here with a thorough
equipment for his life work In 1881
he became member Of the architec-
tural firm of .lcKim, Mead & White.
He designed the Whitelaw Reid man
sion, the Garden, Century and Metro
politan clubhouses, the Washington
arch, the main buildings of the Uni
versity of New York, including the
Hall of Fame; the structures Of the Uni
yersity of Virginia and the pedestals
for the principal statues Of St eau
dens, the sculptor.

constructing large trestle and coal
yard on property adjoining its tracks
east of Muchmore' 5 coal yard, Summit.
Since the compile tion Of its other inn
proyements there the company pur-
chased a strip Of land adjoining its
tracks on the south from a point near
where the Railway Valley connects
with the Lackawanna east almost to
the present site Of the Summit and
Madison Ice Company. The Laeka-
wanna also purchased the former Cog
geshall home and the old Freeman
property extended down to Park ave-
nue. and all of this it is said will be
used for a coal yard.
