That a separate judgment was then pro-nonncd against each defendant by the Coart, but the Clerk, Mr.

D. E. Bortree, recorded judgment as if one judgment had beeu pronounced against the defendants. The Judge discovered the error before signing judgment, and required the Clerk to Lcorrect it, which was done by the era sure of one of the names, and the en try ot a separate judgment againsteach man.

F. Cochrane, a resi- dent of this city, has filed a petition iu the Superior Court praying for tho issuance of a WRIT OF PROHIBITION, Restraining the Board from making such change in the use of School Read ers as was determined upon at its last meeting, namely, the substitution of the Appleton's for the McGuffev series. The ground of the complaint is the great and additional expense to parents and guardians, which such a change will necessitate, and it is claimed by tne petition that by the terms of an Act of the Legislature entitled "An Act to prevent changes in the text books in use in the Public which was approved December 13. 1875, the Board of Education is debarred from making CHANGES IN THE USE OF TEXT-BOOKS', Not provided for in this Act.

The writ is made returnable before the Court on the 3d day of February next at 9:30 o'clock a. and uutil the final determination of the case upon such review or further order of the Court, all proceedings lor the purpose of carrying into effect the change of readers determined upon, are ordered stayed. A notice the proceedings in the matter have already been served on several meiabers of the Board of Edu cation.

Webster-Street Tunnelling Pro posed EDITOR iriuune: Several years ago certain parties applied for a franchise to construct a steam railroad on Market street from the estuary to the northern charter line and beyond, The advantages of the ri'-ad to the property on Market and adjacent streets were very plausibly advocated by the projectors, but failed to convince the property-owners, who called meeting and submitted an earnest and unanimous protest to the City Council, resulting in the final defeat of the scheme. A similar scheme has now been revived other parties, ierhaps by the same parties, and Webster street has been selected as the beneficiary. We of Market and Adeline streets sympathize with the Webster street people, and do not blame them for their bitter opposition to being thus benefited. But the railroad parties, having already secured the Webster-street bridge, will doubless strain every nerve to perfect their franchifie by securing the right of way through Webster street itself. For the sake the residents on the street, is to be hoped that the scheme mav be defeated.

Should they, however nally succeed, by hook or by crook, obtaining the franchise, I would re spectfully suggest as a condition precedent to the granting of the franchise, that new road be compelled to run underneath the present local track on Seventh street. When it is borne in mind that twenty-minute trains will soon be run on track one train each way everv ten minutes and that the new road may in course of time run an equal number trains, the importance of this condition cannot be overestimated. Weje the two roads to cross each other at grade, the lives of thousands of passengers would be constantly placed in jeopardy. Railroad experience nas demonstrated that accidents on level crossings, even under the most careful management, are almost inevitable. The proposed condition involves a tun nel, an expedjyyjt often resorted to in Eastern cities, he accompanying profile, drawn to thelpfficial grades, clearly presents the situatam, and shows the entire feasibility of aktunnel- The new road, after leaving WTIteter street bridge, will cross the lr.

tracmun irst street grade; thence on an ascenfcng grade of feet per mile it enters iaen cut, gradually deepening to 15 feetat, the south line of sixth street, at whichwpint tunnel begins, having a total teet and emerging at tne nor' line of Durant street, where an open Deliver street brinirB the road acrain level of the streets. At Twelfth street the gradient becomes a descending one at the rate of ten feet per mile. The depth of the open cut will be two feet at Second stieet, 54 feet at Third street, 7 feet at Fourth street, and 10 feet at Fifth street. The crown of the tunnel will have the following depths be neath the street crossings: feet at sixth street, 4 feet at Seventh street, 7i feet at Lighth street, 8J feet at rinth street, feet at Tenth street, 12 feet at Elev enth street, 11 feet at Twelfth street, feet at Thirteenth street, 7 feet at Fourteenth street. 7 feet at- 7 feet at Seventeenth street and li feet at Durant street Thus, the most frequented part of Webster street, extending from Sixth to Durant streets, a distance of nearly three -ouarters of a mile, as also the street railroad oh Twelfth street, will remain undisturbed, while the open cut could be readily overcome either by a moderate lowering of the grade of the side streets.

where the depth exceeds ten teet, oy bridging. Excavations in that part of the city have shown the ground to be well adapted tunnelihg. A brick or stone lining would, of course, be found neeessary. The material excavated could be used by the Company fcr filling its marsh lands. The plan of tunneling, although involving a considerable outlay in first cost construction, would secure substantial and lasting advantages to the Railroad Company: First, an almost level gradient in place of a maximum gradient of 150 feet to the mile, from Fifth to Sixth street, and 176 feet to the mile from Durant to Delger street, gradients almost impracticable on a first-class railroad; second, an unobstructed passage admitting great speed, and ensuring freedom from accident.

As to stations, one might be placed at Second or Third street, aud another at Delger street. Should an intermediate station be desired it may be at Twelfth street, and provided with a staircase or elevator An approximate estimate places the cost of the tunnel, including the approaches, and all necessary changes of side streets, at $166,000. I submit the above, Mr Editor, as a possible solution of this vexed problem. Although emphatically a railroad man, and believing that our railroad and ferry facilities should be fostered and encouraged, and operated, if practicable, by two or more competing companies. I hold that no corporation has the right to injure or detract from private property, no matter how great the general benefits conferred.

The franchise in Question has an im mense prospective value, and a Railroad Company can well afford to make large concessions to obtain ic jKespectiuur, West Oaexajtd, January 19, 1880.
