Alderman Colson, Chairman of the Railroad Committee, waa alarmed when he heard that there waa an Injunction that he refused to hand In a report denylnc the application of the East River and Atlantlo Ocean Company. have a great respect for Injunctions," he said, "and do not want to follow In the footstep of John T. McKane," When the Board of Aldermen met, at O'clock, each of the members was served with a copy of the Injunction Justice Gaynor had granted to Jesse Johnson, the counsel for Mrs.

Ellra J. Smith, who owns prop-. erty on Liberty Street. The Injunction was made returnable to-day. The Aldermen were nervous, excited, and angry.

Alderman Conn added to the excitement by saying that he had seen a detective-shadowing Alderman Cary all morning. J. A detective has been on my heels for the past three" days." Alderman Col son said, looking over his shoulder In a frightened manner, as If he expected to see the detective In the chamber. "No Injunction was necessary," President Wallace said. Jesse Johnson knew what th reoorts were to be.

He knew they were adverse to the company. This injunc tion Is a foul aspersion upon the board by Mr. Johnson. Tea." chimed In Alderman Clark, we'll make Jesse Johnson a Supreme Court Judge Well. I'll obey the Injunction." Alderman Colson said.

I'm not going to get Into any hot water." kmrd then adiourr.ed for thirtv min utes In order that the Corporation Coun- m1 could be consulted regarding the injunction. When the board began Its session Alderman Guilfoyle demanded that the clerk read the injunction. Alderman Colson said he also wanted to hear It read. Alderman JLeich objected. I seek Information." Alderman Colson aid.

Wa are not on the Inside of the railroad corporation." Alderman Lelch said, and, therefore, know all about well, juu wuiuu Kf Colson replied. Alderman Ouilfoyle moved to lay Alder-. man Letch's objection to the reading of the injunction on the table, and the roll waa called. Alderman Colson. now badly alarmed, begged Alderman Guilfoyle to withdraw hla motion, as.

If It were carried. It would carry the entire matter with it. and this. Alderman Colson held, would be contempt of court. I withdraw my motion Alderman Guilfoyle responded.

Alderman Lelch objected as several votes bad been taken, and. as the objection was sustained. Alderman Guilfoyle was compelled to vote against his own motion. Subsequently the injunction was read. The Corporation Counsel was Instructed to take whatever steps he deemed proper In reference to it.

Al Serman Colson reported on behalf of the Railroad Committee that the committee de-Tiled the application of the Brooklyn City Railroad Company as there was no public necessity for the proposed new routes. All matters before the Railroad Committee." Alderman Guilfoyle said. are laid ever by this injunction.1 After a long and healthful discussion," Alderman Walkley. said, we. the Railroad Committee, recommend that the petitions be denied.

This is-the time and the place. This Common Council wants to decide these matters, to-day. It Is the duty of this body to go on record as- supporting the Railroad Committee." I hope this Common Council. -Al-. -cTerman McGarry said.

wlU adopt this report. It is pleasure to read such a report. The asking for franchises In De-acandal In itself. The Railroad Committee cember by the railroad companies was a scandal in itfcelf. The Railroad Committee should never have been asked to report on such affairs, especially In the last month 'of this retiring body.

Our action to-day will be a rebuke In the future, not only to railroads, but to other corporations not to ask for franchises in December." This statement was greeted with applause by the spectators who filled the room. Tho forooration Council." President Wallace said, has said we can deny the applications, but cannot grant them." Alderman Guilfoyle moved to lay the report of the Railroad Committee upon the table, but the motion was lost. The motion to deny the application of the Brooklyn City Railroad Company was adopted by a vote of 15 to w. the Aldermen not voting being Guilfoyle. Jahn.

but In the face of the Injunction I refuse to present it. I do not Intend to do anything in that matter while this Injunction is out restraining us from taking any action." Just as I expected." Alderman Cary aid. but I've got a minority report, signed Kv IMarmAn- Parv ymhrt tfa. ovist Wllilir." Yes." Alderman Conn said. but he has made certain erasures here in this room since the report was signed." It is a subterfuge." Alderman Colson said.

and not the report." No man can serve two masters." Alderman McGarry remarked. We are the servants of the people, and the people want and demand us not to grant this application. Let us be men and vote to sustain the minority report." Servants of the people! Alderman Cohn repeated; "that's buncombe, and if the truth Is known, Alderman McUarry has been the reverse of what he preaches. He baa not been the servant of the people in two years. If he had he would have been at the meetings of this board, and his eat would not bo often have been vacant." Some persons are not only retiring from this board," Alderman McGarry retorted, but they are going Into obscurity." McGarry has nothing to boast of." Ald-- erman Cchn said.

"It was not Aider-' McGarry that was elected, but his voted for him only because they wanted to elect a Democrat. They'1 didn't want McGarry, wlU preside.

SEYT-EOCUELLE FEARS BABIES All Dogs That Mar Bits Bitten bj the Dog- That Bit Flannigan'a Hone to be Killed. Nrw-RocHELLc, Dec village Board of Health has been aroused to activity by the death from hydrophobia of Patrick Flannlgan's horse Saturday. The board became alarmed lest some of the dogs that were bitten last Fall by the rabid dog that bit Flannlgan's horse had escaped the vigilance of the board, and were yet alive. Frederick Mehrer. Clerk of the Board of Health, went to work Sunday and secured evidence against eight dogs which, he says, is sufficiently strong to cause the death of the entire lot.

Mr. Mehrer is certain these eight dogs were bitten by the dog that bit Flannlgan's horse and the six dogs that have been shot by the police. A complaint is to be made against each of the dogs. The police expect to start out to-morrow armed with the complaints and shoot the dogs. Mr.

Mehrer says that Patrick Flannlgan made a serious mistake in not reporting to the Board of Health that his horse nad been bitten by a mad dog. Had this been done, Mr. Mehrer said, the State Board of Health would have been notified. Then the State Appraiser would have been summoned to place a value on Flannlgan's horse. The horse would have been condemned and shot, and Flannlgan would have been paid for his horse by the 8tate.

Everything then would have been regular." the dogs that are going to be shot Is James Grogan'a Pinkey. a small mongrel. Grogan's house is next to a school yard, and the dog. It is said, plays with the school children. Grogan claims his dog was not even scratched by the teeth of the mad dog.

The Board of Health is implacable, however, and declares Ptnkey must be killed. Grogan says he would rather cut off his right hand than see Pinkey die. It became known that the Board of Health was going to search out the bitten dogs, and some of the dogs were hidden and their owners protested that they had been killed. It was learned that an Italian owned a dog that had been bitten. The dog went mad.

and the Italian shut It in a room of his house until It died. The Board of Health is undecided about a calf belonging to J. Fallon. Some one hinted that the calf was bitten. The calf has not a blemish, and Is a strong 'and healthy as any calf; around here.

Mr. Fallon says It has seen a mad dog. It is likely the calf will escape the death penalty. POLICEMEN POOR PISTOL, SHOTS or" TUB HCUOOIs METOLrEB PRA.CTICJC. Scores Made by First ava Seeoatd redact Men Surprising; Lack; of Experience.

The school is under the charge of Sergt. William A. Petty of the Central Office, who is an expert with the revolver, and the winner of many medals. Four military targets, such as are used at Creedmoor, ware used, the distance being ten yards.

Thirty-nine men were present from the Old Slip Station. They arrived at the armory under the charge of Sergt. Jacob Braun and Roundsmen Budd and McLaughlin. Arrangements were made for the tiring of fifteen rounds. Before the men were conducted to the butts Sergt.

Petty delivered a short speech. in wnicn ne expiainea tne pi proper way to noid a revolver. Some of the patrolmen were very awkward, and seemed never to have had the slightest Instruction in revolver shooting. They held the revolvers clumsily and fired blindly. Sergt.

Petty was very painstaking with the men, and before the fifteen rounds had run out each man had learned considerable as to the propsr way In which to handle and use a revolver. Some of the men made bull's-eyes rapidly. This is the first time I ever fired a revolver," said one policeman, as he put the weapon up to his eye and drew a bead on the target as If he were shooting with -a rifle. Several others also confessed that thsy were novices in the matter of revolver shooting. The men were very much In earnest, however, and tried to learn as best they could.

The highest score was made by Patrolman James J. Dennin, who scored 82 out of a possible 75. The following record was made public by Sergt. Petty, showing that two men failed to Rlfke any points: Sergt. 4 Roundsman Budds .45 Raualimiii Mr I uffa- 11a 28 Patrolman P.
