man society may be tipheaved by fcO little a thins as a hve-ctrit piece. Few happening- in New Yorkiiu niany months have been s6 picturesque the scenes on the road to Coney Island during the dispute between thy people of New York and the'trolle companies as to whether or not the conua ales may charge a second fare. I was in Hartford. Conn; the other day and the conductor: collected fare tbrte times In an eight-mile ride. There are some New York trolleys that carry a passenger about 17 miles for one fare.

But Coney Island Is a good hot weather, and how is a railway company to keep down the crow 1 except by raising the fare? The other. day trolley-riding folks, by some mysterious common consent, decided that they didn't want to have thj conductor come around twice on one more or less straight ride. Then there was riot, real riot, that included some of the most disgraceful scenes that have ever shamed a metropolis. Of course oria conductor could not put off an entire car full of SO or SO peopl who refused to pay again. To assist him a platoon of of "bouncer" proportions was engaged, to fcrin at the point where the rsccfnd fares were demanded, and free fights lasting hour after hour filled the police nations and kept- tha hospitals buiy.

Many of the "wreckers" were put out of commission; several conductors sni passengers have been' mortally hurt. The police have pretended to neutrality whether by order from "higher up" or from instincts lower have let the thing go on by the hour. I i I i i 1 1 ii i ii rr i i 1 Northbound. i No. 1 3:10 a.

AfesL Benton Harbor, ILi H. F. MOELLER, Q. P. A.

1 Detroit, Mich. 5 Until further notice the steamers City of Benton Harbor, and City of Chicago will make 'three trips daily between this port and Chicago on the following schedule: Illinois, Indiana, EAST PROVIDENCE TOW't'R. (The Largest Structure of. Its Kind in ihe I United Slates.) cap stone; the i top of the tank is 70 feet 6 inches above the pier, and the peak of the roof is 24 feet 7 inches above the tank, which has a capacity of more gallons. The great height of the tank insures ample water pressure in East Providence.

The pressure in the mains on the low levels is estimated at 150 pounds. i The pier -is made of open hearth Bteel, having a tensile strength varying from 56,000 to pounds per square inch and an" elastic limit of one-half, the tensile strength. There are four center and eight side columns, carrying the girders and I beams at the top, and the outside columns at the base i are 70 feet from center to center. Lateral rods form the wind bracing. At the top is a grill work of steel I beams covered with Portland cement concrete, upon which the tank is placed.

At the base of the tank is a walk around three feet wide, and this is reached by wrought iron stairs. The steel pier supports a load of over 9.000,000 pounds, and the weight of the pier is pounds. The height of the steel tank is 70, feet 6 inches, and its diameter is 50 feet. There are. 14 courses, and each course is mad of seven plates, having a Width of five feet.

The thickness of the bottom plates is one Inch, and the top plates are three-eighths of an inch in thickness. The tank and pier are designed to resist a wind pressure of TOO miles an hour when the tank is emjjity, and as the hig'hest recorded velocity of wind in East Providence is 60 miles an hour, it is obvious that the engineers provided a large margin of safety. the tank is filled, the factor, of stability is greatly increased, The water stored in the tank Is sufficient to fill an area 1U5 by l.OoO feet foot deep. I trustee when there will be some Interesting reminiscent exercises, and when the present archbishop of Canterbury, whe will be attending the general convention of the Protestant Episcopal church in Boston, will be an honored guest The other event will be the opening of the long looked-for, long derided sub-way. For years Jsew York streets have been in: disorder, sometimes literally impassable.

Foreigners have laughed at the grotesque plight of the ambitious metropolis, when they have not sworn at the din of the drills. Songs have been written about the subway. Art has depicted it( and found It more picturesque than Venice or the Al-hambra. One street street actually has been torn up for four consecutive years, which may, I think, be set down as the greatest triumph of blundering in history. Nev-erthless, the making of the subway is the greatest engineering feat, if we consider its sheer laborlousness, that ever was undertaken.

In lower New the! penetration was through sand and loam. But in the greater part of the. city, for mite after mile, the tunnel had to cut' through solid rock. Hundreds of lives, have been sacrificed in this wearisome undertaking, now at last to be completed. The tunnel Is, of course.tthe longest in the world.

When iti3 pened New York-" ers will enjoy a pleasant surprise. For after years of disgust at the surface signs they will marvel at' the real elegance of the subway appointments', at the lightness of the stations, the clean, solid, well-lighted corridors of the under-city. There will be small underground shops at many of the stations. A guest at the Waldorf-Astoria will be able to go down in the elevator to a subway train, move down town to an transact business, travel back to 'another 'part 'of the city, rise to the surface in some further-uptown dining place, return again to the bowels of the earth and turn up again at a theater. It will be observed tbat under these circumstances umbrellas may go out of fashion.

The giet of the justice's r-asti-tatlon is that the police have undertaken to be a law unto themselves, have niade irrestj and committed intrusions--where ao complaints have bren niade; have undertaken to be compUir.ant, Judge jury all in one; have wrecked-houses looking for evidence ipsteid findfes the evidence" first.

Justice 5aynor has an old-fa-hionrd re.tlon that a p-rson must be tod in ofTtnse or accu.d of an c.ltr.af. specifically and circumstantially, before thf n'ay employ force.
