TO OPPOSE VIADUCT PLANS
Railroad Committee to Report Against New Haven Road Cnlcss some
 Changes Are Made.

This evening Is the regularly ap- pointed time for the monthly meeting of the board of aldermen and as no step was taken to postpone 1t on ac- count of election even a meeting will be held. although 1t is doubtful if there will be very much business trans acted, one of the most important things which will come up to the meet Ing tonight, however. is the report of the committee on railroads and bridges in regard to the petition of the New Haven road for permission to abolish the grade crossing at Water and Bridge streets, and to replace the high way there with a yladuct A public hearing on this matter has been held the object being to get some idea Of what the public think of the matter in order that the city may instruct it's representative as to what course to pursue at the public hearing to he held on November 10 in Hartford.
 The committee has formulated its re- port and will recommend that the cor poration counsel be instructed to ap- pear to oppose the petition unless the railroad engineers modify their plans for the improvement so as to make them agree with the plans of the city engineer for theimprovement The plans call for street grades of five per cent. 1t is stated, while the committee recom- mend that the grades be not allowed at over three per cent Another al- teration demanded it that the highway at Bridge street be continued at least 60 feet instead of 30 as the railroad proposes,
 As the hearing will he held before another meeting of the board of alder men is likely to be held the probable course on this matter will be to act on it tonight under unanimous consent. 1t has been suggested that little bust ness will be transacted tonight and that another meeting will be called in few nights to take up the business l before the board,

BURGLARS ENTER
 CENTRAL STORES Fur Shop of F, L. Lunt & Co. Loses About $1,5o0, But
 No Stored Goods Are Taken.
SAWED BAR FROM WINDOW
Experts Familiar With Goods of Each Store Believed to Have Made Dar- ing Entrances in Orange
 Street Saturday Night.

Two daring burglaries. committed by the same person or persons, were revealed yesterday morning when the proprietors of two stores in Orange street arrived to look after their shops Sometime between Saturday nights closing and the opening yes terday the store of F. L. Lunt & Co.,, at 163 orange street, dealers in furs, and the O'Brien Speciality shop. across the street at 162 were entered and suf- fered losses to their stocks which It is thought will amount to around s1.500 in the case of the Lunt com pany and about s200 in the case of Miss O'Brien. The latter conducts an establishment dealing In exclusive gowns and dresses for women.
 The detective department was at once notified and Detectives McAvoy, Donnelly and Healy were working on the case all day yesterday, but, while they secured clues to how the bur glars did the Jobs they had obtained no clue to the identity of the perpetra- tors. At the rear of the Lunt shop which it Is believed was the first en- tered, there runs, along the second story, covered veranda. This veran- | da gives entrance by door and win dows to the second floor of the estab- lishment The door and windows are all protected by iron bars about three | quarters of an inch in diameter The detectives are convinced that en- trance to this veranda was gained through the building next door which | Is being re-modeled and the front Is completely open. Once in the GOV. cred veranda the burglras were able to work well. An attempt was made to cut the bars covering the door but l this was abandoned when the bar hat been half cut and bar across tho | window was cut and bent out of tn, | fastening hy main strength.

TO ARREST FRENCH
Chief Cowles Will See City At. torney To- day to Talk Over
 Warrant.
TO DEPARTMENT
Chief Very Indignant About Incident Main Has Nothing Whatever
 to Say.

Chief Cowles of the New Haven po- lice department will consult with City Attorney Hoyt this morning in re- gard to the legal steps necessary to be taken looking to the arrest of Ser geant French of the Orange police force in consequence of his assault up- on Supernumerary Frank H. Keanc at Yale field on Saturday. The chief in- tends to have Sergeant French arrest ed on warrant which will probably charge him not only with assault up- on Keane, but with theft of the lat ter's badge, which belongs to the city of New Haven, and the chief even suggested last night that more ser lous charge still might be placed in the warrant
 The cause of the trouble was the disputing by the West Haven author ities of the authority of a New Hacen officer at Yale field. Sergeant French and First Selectman Walter Main drove up in carriage to the Derby avenue gate to the field Saturday aft ernoon just before the game with tne Massachusetts Agricultural college. and started to drive on the rolled space right In front of the gates. The New Haven police claim authority outside the gates of the field and up- on request of the Yale Football asso- citation Supernumerary Keane had been assigned. by Chief Cowles to do duty outside the field. The associa- tion wished expressly to keep teams and autos off this space which Is be- ing placed in condition for the Yale Harvard game. When they started to drive onto this Keane told them they could not drive up there, whereupon. according to reports, they laughed at him, and Sergeant French leaped out of the carriage saving that he was impersonating an officer as he had no Jurisdiction there and tore the badge off his coat.
 When seen last night Chief Cowles expressed very deep indignation at the affair wnich he characterized as the most outrageous thing he had
