GETS BACK HEIRLOOM RING.
e. r. Mathews Receivers Jewel Lost
From New Haven Train.

Providence, June 24-E. r. Mathews
of New York lost valuable diamond
ring while on a fast train between Bos-
ton and New York last week and for
two days sixteen section hands search
ed the roadbed between Wexford and
Attleboro on orders from the New Ha-
ven Railroad.
Yesterday the ring was delivered to
the company by Thomas FERNANDO, an
Italian, who, considering it worthless,
had tossed it into box of scrap metal
at his home in Providence. He re-
ceived 500 reward.
At the time Mr.. Mathews lost the
ring he was washing his hands in his
stateroom. He placed the ring on the
folding stand and afterward closed the
stand without removing the ring. He
got into communication with the rail-
road authorities, telling them he would
stand the cost of protracted search
and also give a reward. The ring, he
said. was family heirloom. 1t was
fashioned from the first nugget of gold
taken from a California mine by his
father, who journeyed to California in
1S49
FERNANDO found the ring on the
track and showed it to the foreman
of his gang, who declared it to be brass
ard not worth 20 cents.

CENSURES SAGE INSTITUTE.
Coroner's Jury Thinks II Erred In Making
an Autopsy Itself.

An inquest jury before Coroner Har-
burger censured the Russell Sage In
stitute of Pathology yesterday for an
autopsy on the body Of Michael Bichker,

for widening Thirty.sccond street.
The committee appointed at last week 8
meeting OF the Board Of Estimate to con-
slider the application Of the Public Service
Commission for permission to advertise.
for bids on the Lexington Broadway SUBJ
way planned by the Bradley -Gaffney-
Steers Company met yesterday and de-
cided to report next Friday in favor OF
the application. The commission asked
to be allowed to advertise for bids for
construction alone, for equipment and
operation in case Of construction alone.
and for construction. equipment and
operation, and further for the equipment
and operation OF the Brooklyn loop lines
and the Fourth avenue line. which are to
be constructed by the city. The Bradley
company has made these Brooklyn lines
part OF it's system and is willing to CON-
tract for eouipping and operating them.
Comptroller Metz. who Is opposed to
the building of the Fourth avenue subway
by the city and who was expected to vote
against the whole o. the commissions
scheme. voted with the rest OF the COM
mittee, but reminded them that he would
have an opportunity TO repeat his objec-
tions TO the Fourth avenue line when the
bids received by the commission were
submitted to the Board Of Estimate. After
the adoption Of the oommittees report by
the board next Friday the commission
will at once set their legal and engineering
STATS at working out the forms OF oon-
tract and the plans and Specifications
which must be advertised at the time the
bids are asked for. 1t will take until
September to complete this work
Comptroller Metz also laid before the
committee a plan which has been sub
mitted to him by Joseph Caccavajo, an
engineer. for the widening OF Thirty
second street between Broadway and
Seventh avenue with little cost TO the
city. The Board OF Estimate has already
under consideration the widening of the
street from 90 to 100 feet in order to give
a better approach to the new terminal OF
the Pennsylvania Railroad. To carry
out the scheme now before the board
would require the condemnation Of
property. Mr.. Caccavajo suggests that
the present sidewalks be used for widening
the roadway and that new sidewalks
should be provided by building arcades
under the buildings facing the street. All
that the city would have to acquire. he
says, would be the needed amount OF the
for new sidewalks. and as only
the street floor OF the buildings would be
needed the upper portions OF the build
ings would remain intact.
Mr.. Mets rather likes the scheme and
he will hold a public hearing on the plan
tomorrow in his Office.
