D. J. GRIFFIN'S PURCHASE. Large Tract of Land Owned By the Late Isaac Roughton.

The large tract of land off of South Main street owned by the late Isaac Boughton, and bounded by Louns- bury, South, River and South Main streets, has been purchased by D. J.. Griffin the real estate man, from the Boughton heirs. Mir Griffin has pur- chased the property for investment purposes.
 This land has been in the posses sion of the Boughton family for near ly half a century, and it's being now opened up for building purposes. traversed and bounded as it is by we'll graded streets, promises in short time to be the scene of considerable building activity. Mir Griffin has al- ready sold number of building lots to parties who are having plans for handsome two and three family houses, and there is no question but that some of the people who are now complaining of climbing hills and chasing trolley cars will soon have homes in nice locality. convenient to their employment and within a few minutes walk of the center.
 South Main street this past year has had more buildings erected on it than any other street in the city, and judging from the present outlook this coming season will be record one for buildings being erected on that street. .

DANIHLO ARRESTED
Man Who Stabbed Henry Byrnes
 Some Time Ago.

Antono Daniello was arrested on Union street this morning by De- tective Thomas Colesanto and is charged with assaulting Henry Byrnes of East Main street several weeks ago. Byrnes at that time was the recipient of a knife jab which necessitated fourteen stitches. Daniel- 10 since the assault has been out of town and returned only few days ago. This morning Colesanto caught sight of the prisoner on Union street and immediately placed him under arrest. Daniello appeared to be very much surprised and stated that he had nothing to do with any cutting matches. He told Colesanto he had friends on Union street and said that If he was taken there he would prove to the officers satisfaction that he had the wrong fellow.
 Colesanto accompanied him to the friends house as asked. The friend, taken of his guard. when he learned that Daniello was under arrest, asked If it was because of "the fight out on East Main street." Colesanto was then convinced that he had the right man.
 Daniello and a countryman made a savage attack on Henry Byrnes, who was walking along East Main street with Joseph Oxley one evening about 6 o'clock. and might have killed Byrnes had not the latter talk en refuge in Connor's saloon near the Junction of East Main and Wolcott streets.

Soaring Residents of Union and South
 Elm Streets.

The residents of Union and South Elm streets are somewhat alarmed because of some peculiar incidents that have occurred there the past week. A man who has not as yet found his way to the police station has been soaring children with a re- volver and Saturday night it was re- ported that he had cut his throat. The police investigated the rumor, but although they found a revolver not far from the corner of South Elm and Union streets, they were unable to find anyone wno could give them any information concerning the reported knife play.
 Last Saturday morning a young girl by the name of Carson while go- ing down Union street was badly frightened by man who ran up the street shooting revolver. The fell low disappeared until Saturday night when he was again in evidence.
 He at length laid up the shooter and proceeded to amuse himself with a stilletto. It was said that be brought the weapon across his throat while in the rear of the block on Union street, which has been the scene of much notoriety. but although the police were notified and investi- gated they were unable to locate the fellow.

A TRIP TO IRELAND.
The c. w. A. Has Arranged a Fine St
 Patrick's Day Program.

The prospect of crowded house at the Jacques next Sunday evening Is very good. Tickets are going very rapidly, but this is no doubt due to the excellent program that has been arranged. Tickets for reserved seats, by the way, may be had by paying at the box office on Saturday 10 cents additional to the 25 cents for gen. eral admission. The moving pictures Will include scenes that ought to suit the taste of everybody. Admirers of Gaelic sports should >be very numer- ous as there are some very fine scenes of Irish sporting events. Some or the moving pict1s7s show St Pat rick's day parade iH Dublin. A tally no drive to Glengariff, by the Prince Of Wales route. Those who have ever taken this trip in reality will be certain to see 1t in a moving picture. An Irish Eviction is one of the thrilling and sensational pictures. Irish Sports at Carric-a-Suir" is an other very fine one, but these are only few of the general excellent lot.
 The musical numbers will include My Irish Rose," Farewell, Killar- ney,' one of the latest favorites;
 Paddy's Day." ''Arrah- Wanna. :" The old favorites of Moore's melodies will naturally be sung, but in this respect it ought to be mentioned that there are many songs in Moore's col lection as sweet and stirring, if not more so, than ''The Harp that Once,' Come Back to Erin," and some oth- CTS. The stationary pictures will show all of the famous scenes in Ire land, the Giants Causeway, in Done gal, one of the most remarkable features of nature the world over; Killarney's lake and fells, Blarney castle and Kilmainham castle, where Parnell and his fellow land leaguers were imprisoned.

MORGAN'S REQUEST.
President to Confer With Big
 Railroad Chiefs.
E. H. HARTMAN TO BE OF PARTY
Will Talk of Legislation ts Regulate Trunk Lines as to Rates, Relating and Car Supply and of Inter-
 state Commerce Probing.

WASHINGTON March 12.-J. Pier ppnt Morgan of New York was in con ference with President Roosevelt for two hours last night.
 The financier came here at the re- quest of certain business men of New York to discuss the railroad situation, particularly as affecting the trunk lines. He asked the president to grant an interview to several railroad prest- dents, which request was granted.
 In an interview MT. Morgan said:
 At the request of many businesA men before leaving for Europe I came to Washington to see the president to discuss the business situation, particu. larly as regarding railroads.
 "I suggested to the president that it would be greatly in the public interest if he would see Mir. McCrea of the Pennsylvania Railroad company, MT. Newman of the New York Central. Mir. Mellep of the New York, New Ha- ven and Hartford and MT. Hughitt, president of the Chicago and North. western, and confer with them as to what steps might be taken to allay the public anxiety now threatening to ob- struct railroad investments and con- struction and especially to allay public anxiety as to the relations between the railroads and the government. MT. Hartman of the Northern Pacific and Union Pacific, it is said, will also be of the party.
 '"The president said he would gladly see them with this end in view.'
 With great solemnity Secretary Loeb at the White House denied that Harri- man has any date to meet President Roosevelt, stating, however, in that connection that the president would be glad to see Hartman should he re- quest an interview, which he has not done"
 Another big group of railroad men, following the Hartman example, has decided, it is said, to be good" to avoid the storm of administration in- vestigation and public censure.
 The Missouri Pacific railroad, con- trolled by George Gould and other members of the Gould family, will be reorganized. Charles s. Clarke, the vice president and general manager, who has been in ill health for many months, is to be superseded by I.e Roy Trice, at present vice president and general manager of the International and Great Northern railroad of Texas, one of the Gould systems feeders.
 Advocating centralization of regu- lation of the railroads in the interstate commerce commission, B. F. Yoakum, chairman of the Rock Island system, is in Washington to consult with tho federal authorities. He had a talk with members of the interstate commerce commission and later with the presi- dent. MT. Yoakun said he favors even more government control than the rate law gives as security against adverse state legislation.

REDUCE SPEED OF TRAINS.
Railroad Officials Consider a Safer
 Scheme,


 New Haven, March 12.-When the spring schedules of passenger trains on the New York, New Haven and Hartford road are published next month 1t Is possible that the speed of a number of through expresses will be slower than that which pres ent schedules call for. This action, it is understood, is being considered by some of the operating officers of the company at the present time and unless they see their way clear in maintaining the present rate of speed of these trains, the schedule will be altered.
 The maximum speed for trains at which the New York division trains may be operated at certain points on this line has been reduced consid- erably and it is now stated that the same action has been taken on the Shore line and the Hartford division. all of which Is making the regular trains run a few minutes behind the time they are supposed to make. Some of the expresses running through here have been late since the issuance of this order and the extension of time has been responsi- ble.
