j-H The Evening World, i Whu the natural 9 ONE CENT NEW YOH, WEDNES )AY, OCTO IKIl 2, 188). PllICE ONE CENT 3i THE PARK IS SAFE. No Fair Buildings Now Contemplated Thereon by the Site Committee. Difficulties In Iho Way of Securing tho Surrounding Lands. A Money Plan and Rapid Progress Kx-poctod Within a Week.

Expressions of satisfaction came from all sorts and condition! of men to-day at the announce-' njent by tho Bnb-Cnmmlttoe on Buildings of the Bite Committee of the great World's Fair that Central Park would not be destroyed nor desecrated In any way. As outlined yesterday by Chairman Henry It. Towno to Trie Eveniso Would exclusively, tho I Sub-Committee, composed of Chairman Towno. Richard M.Hunt and Prof. Chorion F.Chandlcr, decided that no Exposition buildings should bo erected in Cential Park, but that the uppor cud of tho park should be used only as a breath.

tiff spot whore visitors to the Fair might go for reit end lunch, still being within the precincts of tho lair, and visitors not being obliged to purohase a second admin ion tickit. ThoSub-Committcohas devoted a fortnight to carctnl personal investigation, and advises tho tlioi by loan, lent, purchase or legis-jntivo condemnation, all tho lands between Fifth avenue, line Hundred and Tenth and Ouu Hundred ami Thirteenth streets ai.d Mnrning-sido between Ono Hundted and Eighth and Ono Hundred and Hlxteenth street. Eighth nvcnu hhd Morningside: bctwoon Morningside. Onu Hundred and Sixteenth streot and Riverside Park, and between Ono Hundred and Bix-teenth and On Iliiuitred and Twenty-second Dtieets on each side of Uloomliigrtale Asylum. On thoso ground, they say, tho buildings will bo erected, and no stinctnro of any kind will bo put up In Cential Park savo a fenco to denote thebonndciy of tho Fair grounds.

Twenty owners of the property included in tho selcctod site have sent a letter strongly support-ing tho action of the Committee on Bite, and promising all the aid thev can give. ihera are many buildings on somo of tho land desired by the Committee, and some of the properties arc ownod by persons not yet of age and br incompetent persons. There will undoubtedly be somo difficulty in o' tainiug thoso properties by loan, rent or purchase, and in such cases the Legis attire will bo asked to condemn such lands for the purposes of the I'nir. their valuo will bo appraised and they will thus bo secured. Many well-informed real estate men are urging tho Committee that great difficulty will bo in securing these lands within tho next two years, and they piophesy that tho ex-pcusewlll be enormous.

There will be an early meeting of the whole Committee on Bite and Buildings to act on the report ot Mr. Towne's Committee, aud, in short, the ball is fairly rolling. There will also bo a mooting of the fnll Finance Committee at tho Chamber of Com-met ce next Tuesday, and tho prospect seems to bo that cro another week is past much greater progress will have been made towards tho New York World's Fair and that tho project will then loom up distinctly against the horizon as an assured success. Mayor Grant received a letter to-day from Major II, W. Alleger, pf Washington, N.

declaring that tho people of his city are heartily in favor of New York as a site for tho Tair, and will do all in their power to make it a success. At a meoiniK of the New York Furniture Bonn! of Trade. ISO Canal strcnt.it was ic-solvod to tender to the Mayor the use of the rooms of tho Board for the Commltteo on Bnsl-noss relating to the World's Fair, and the cooperation of the Board was pledged. All sorts of novelties have been suggested for tho World's Fair to become a distinctive foature as tho Eiffol Tower is to the Pans Exposition. To-ilay L.

Mounior, of 30 East Fourteenth street, suggests an endless tnov ing road one or two miles in length, feet wido, flush with the ground, and moving continually at the rate of two miles an hour. "The road." Mr. Mounier, could pass near or through tho largo halls and traverso all tho grounds, carrying along thousands of visit-ors, together w'tli seats, camp stools, refreshment stands, restaurants and other things. At that rate of speod even feeblo or old people might board it easily and withoutdanger. They would be savd tho fatigue of journeying on foot or of paying for being wheeled about iu cai'iagesor sedan chairs.

It would bo tho do-light and wonder of old and young. It might bo covered wl awnings or canonies. It would necessitate an excavation for its bed of not lrtoro 'than two feet; the running gear would be balls as in marine railways, tilling parallel or endless grooves; no jars, no noi-o. Steam or hydraulic motors could bo used ir propelling rower, and a mllo, of such a road could carry 15. 000 or 000 people comfortably.

This would be a unin.no featnre something never before tried and would be of lasting benefit, commending itself as a means for crossing large biidges," S1I0T AT THE POLICEMAN.

Policeman Hammond, of Hobokon, arrested a man at tho Hoboken Ferry this morning, on suspicion of having sto'en the horse and light wagon which were in his possession.

Moio particularly has the matter attracted attention whon the facts becatno known that tho ejectment Mas unwarranted and Mas illegal. Mr. Bchncidcr, the landlord, had commenced dispossess prcceodlngs in thn Filth District Court.

The case nas to lime como un this morning, but on Monday a young man named Kttulau, who is a clerl: for Marshal Alt, visited tho HainnelB's apartment during the tenant's absence, and breaking open tho door conveyed anait other property In tho sidewalk. ico La hn who is sitting for Justice Ooh.logle, (lunuu the atter's absence in Syracuse, expressed his heartiest condemnation of the ailuir wheu it was brought to his notice this morning. Ho declared that hn would not isuo a dispossessed warrant. When the caso would bo called that tho matter would hi thoroughly in-cstlgated. Later he decided to adjourn the caso until the arrival ot Justice Goldtoule, to-inouow morn-inc.

To an Evkmso Wonip reporter ono of the clerks said that the ejectment w.is made without any authorization from that Coitit, and that somo difficulties onld arise Irom it. "The motiiui for a dispossrss wanant was not to como up befoie this mm nine, but in the mean timo this man hautau deliberately goes to worlc and puts tho woman out without any authority." The polico persecution is said to arise from Mr. Bamnels's refusal to secede to Policeman Myers'a request that sho should not prosecute two pickpockets who had stolen her purc and her subsequent preferment of chargos against the policeman. Her landlord, Schneider, it is said, was influenced to dispossess her by the police. HIS KIMAPIWt is ended.

"LIVERPOOL JACK" IN THE TOMB AWAITING 1118 SENTENCE. "Liverpool Jack" Fitzpatrick awoke In no pleasant frame of mind in his cell in tho Tombs this morning, for he realize! now that his crimes have found hlmonanfl that a term of impriHonment Is staring him in tho face. Tho overwhelming evidence against him was such as to need but a short deliberation on the part of the jury, and but eight minutes had elapsed from the expiration of tho JudgcV charge when they returned with a vcrdict.of guilty. Assistant Disttict-Attorney Gunning B. Bedford prosecuted tho case with all the energy aud tact which ho possessed.

Ho rcterred In his summing np to the good work dot byTitE World in exposing "Livei-pool Jack's ntfarions trade, which ho had carried on unmolested for HI teen yeais. Mr. IJodford drew eloquent picturo of tho hardships cxpciionced by tho kidnapped men in Progreso. and showed by what tempting oilers they wero induced to go there. Abo Hummel, whodofendod Fitzpatrick.

The startling report comes from London that Englioh investors in New York breweries have banded together and will attempt to reenre control at the coming election of tho Brewers' As sociation in this city. Itissaldthat the Englishmen desire to be in a position to make prices, and to rogulate hum-ncss generally to suit their own ideas. Tho oninio exnro seit on tho other side of the ocean is that they must ltd prtttj sure of tholr position or they would not attempt such au audacious move. The lager beer brewers of this city, however. say they do not lear the Englishmen.

The local brewer's association, known as the "Lager Beer BrcwoiH Hoard of Trade of the City or Kew York, "will hold their auniialelectinn the second week in Novi tuber, and it is tins election which it is rumored the Knulish Syndicate will attempt to contio).

Tho Hour of Bishops has sixtv clergymen who hold their sessions in secret. Tho House of Pepntioi Is a nmc'i largor body, containing about four hundred members.

There were deputies present from the following Btates: Alabama, Arkansas, California, New York, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Delaware. North Carol'ua, riorlde'lM1c'T)lgan, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa. Kansas, Kentucky. Louisiana, Maine. Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Mississippi, Mlrsonri.

There aro se oral matters of Importance which will demand the attcnt'on of the assembled clergymen and lavmeu. Ono very 'nterestlng one eoncorns tho composition of the Convention it' elf.

For some timo the Church press has been disclosing "Proportional Representation." It Is claimed that a minority can stlflo the voice of the roaloritrin the Home of Deputies, cs well as block legislation. Matters touching the most essential well-being of tho Church could be settled and decided upon by this minority acting with a bare majority of the Bishops. ft is not urged that such action has over been taken, nor that it is likely to occur, but it is argued that a form of government which admits of such a possibility is a bad one, at least, thus far, and should be changed. Lltnrplcal revision will also como in for considerable discussion.
