At first it was intended that the land
should be purchased at private sales by
the officer in charge of public buildings
and grounds. but the latter found that he
was unable to secure IL at reasonable
price.
Authority Of Special Term.
Then plans were made to hold gem
eral term of the District Supreme Court,
with three justices presiding, but the

AS consequence it is expected Justice
Stafford will issue citation Monday TO

land i'm squares 63 and 50 to appear before
the court on q specified date probably in
the latter part of September. and show
cause why condemnation proceedings
should not be instituted

a complete record of the parcels of land
in the two squares in question, with the
names of the owners and the occupants.
Prayers to the Court.
1t concludes with the following prayers
to the court:
ITO cite and notify the owners, occu-
pants and all other persons interested in
or claiming an interest in each parcel of
land in said squares to appear at time
to be fixed by this court and to answer
the petitions. and to cause public notice
thereof to be given.
ITO appoint three capable and disinter-
ested commissioners to appraise the value
of the respective interests of all persons
concerned in such parcels of land under
such regulations as to notice and hearing
as to the court shall seem meet
ITO take such further action, pass such
orders and give such directions as NAV

the fact that the matter had been kept
quiet, there was crowd OF several hun
dred people present ready to cheer their
respective champion to victory.
Capt. Stanley was the first man to face
the target, eighty-seven yards away. He
was cool, and seemed confident Of victory.

were found in the board. This was the
signal for great cheering, for it was nice
work.
