By Giving the Trolleys the Use of Bridge Terminal FROM HIGH TO SANDS STREET. Project Is Declared by the Engineers to Be Entirely Feasible and Would Require Only the Moving of the Present Ticket Offices to Allow the Laying of Trolley Tracks Bridge Exits Would Be Clear. A now plan intended to do away with the plaza controversy Is now being considered Jay the railroad and bridge officials.

The plan provides for the trolley exits from the bridge and also for a new way or thecars to reach the roadway. The plan will give adequate facilities to the trolley roads if it is adopted and it will also save them considerable money in the way of cost of construction. In brief, the plan provides that tne trolley cars shall approach and leave the bridge the ground floor of the present Brooklyn terminal. Engineers say there is plenty of available space at this point and if the plan meets with the approval of the bridge officials, the trolley roads will make a formal application for its adoption. Hie new plan is now being considered informally by the bridge officials.

President Bei ri Zg 3 i i Citizens Make Threats but Large Force Prevents Further Riots. New Orleans. September 25 The weather continues cool here. There was one death this morning. The case was reported a few days ago.

As Htated before, cool weather is dangerous in the cases of thoBe who are ill and the physicians think it is increasing the death rate, which now approximates 16 percent. The Beauregard school is being gotten into shape thin morning for tho reception of yellow fevor patients. Threats continue to bo made by angry citizens, but so large a force guardod the building last night that there was uo opportunity for anyone to apply the torch. Mayor Flower has received numerous offers from citizens to do guard duty. Tho Board of Health and the mercantile, community are receiving encouraging reports from various towns which have quarantined against Now Orleans, announcing relaxation of quarantine regulations.

FOUGHT A DUEL. Austrian Fremier and German Na tion alist Leader Decide a Quarrel With Pistols. Vienna. September 25 A duel was fought this morning between Count ilarteni, the Austrian premier, and Dr. Wolff, the German Nationalist leader, arising from insults addressed by the latter to the premier during yesterday's session of the Unterhaus.

Count Badeni was wounded in the right band, the bullet entering the wrist and coming out above the elbow. The wound is not regarded as being serious. Dr. Wolff fought a duel with swords on May 8 last with Herr Horica, a Czech memoer of the Unterhaus.

London, September 25 A decided sensation has been caused in diplomatic circles here by Great Britain's notification to the United States that she cannot participate in the sealing conference at Washington if Russia and Japan take part in it. The officials of the British foreign office declined to give the reasons for this change of policy, but they admitted the Marquis of Salisbury has notified the United States ambassador.

Colonel John Hay, of his decision in this matter, though the premier's decision is not absolute. The action of the Marquis of Salisbury is all the more surprising in view of the fact i that he accepted for Great Britain the invita tion to take part in the conference, with the full knowledge that Russia and Japan were included in the invitation. It is known that the Canadian government requested the withdrawal of Great Britain from the sealing conference and the government unwillingly acceded to this request, in accordance with Its policy of cultivating the friendship of the colonies, even at the risk of offending other powers concerned. It is thought. In diplomatic circles that Canada's action In the premises was influenced by the fear that Great Britain would be outvoted by the United States.

Russia and Japan, whose views regarding the protection of seals coincide. POLICE AND THE ELECTION. Superintendent McKelvey Gives Instructions to His Captains. Police Superintendent McKelvey had a long talk with his captains this morning. He began by complimenting them on the immunity from crime enjoyed by the city and said that he hoped the police force would continue in the good work.

Then he switched off by reminding his commanding officers that the book of rules of the force prohibited policemen from taking any part In politics, as policemen. They roust not canvass or work for candidates and their work at the polls must be of a purely neutral character as far as parties or candidates are concerned. He added: "I want you all to acquaint yourself with the provisions of the election law. Instruction books have been placed in your hands and it will be your duty at all times to advise citizens courteously of their rights at the polls, if appeals are made to you. It will also bo well to Instruct the men under your command in the features of the election law.

The returns on all tickets will, as usual, be sent to headquarters on election night." It is the opinion of the Superintendent on mature consideration that while the provision in the new charter provides for sending the vote on the city ticket to police headquarters in New York City, that the returns must first be received at local headquarters. They will then be telephoned over special wires to headquarters on Mulberry street. A PREMEDITATED SHOOTING. Watertown. X.

HENRY GEORGE IS SHY. Says He Is Not a Candidate, but Will Not Deny That He Would Accept Candidacy ior Mayor. An Eagle reporter called on Henry George i last night, at his home, on the Shore road. Fort Hamilton, and questioned him regarding the rumors that he is to be the candidate of the silver Democrats for mayor.

Mr. George declared positively that he was not a candidate for 'the nomination, but would not say whether or not he would accept a nomination if it was tendered him. Asked for an expression of his opinion regarding a nomination by the Democrats who favor the cnicago platform, Mr. George declined to have anything to say. He said that he had nOt consented to allow his name to be used as a possible candidate for the mayoralty nomination and added that no one had been to see him in reference to the mailer.

Mr. George said that the silver vote predominated in the Democratic ranks in New York and was a big power, but he did not: believe that the followers or Bryan would I nominate a candidate of their own to run against tne nominee or tne regular organ iza tlon. The single taxer did not care to say I anything more. STOLE MISS DAV'S JEWELS. A Sailor on the Yacht Scythian Confessed and Tnen Denied the Theft.

Btlenne Caftillon, a sailor, arrested on a charge of having stolen $6,000 worth of diamonds and other jewelry from Miss Susan De Forest Day, owner of the steam yacht Scythian, was arraigned in tho Jefferson Market Court, New York, this morning. and turned over to Chief of Police Hickman of Whitestone. L. I. He had a warrant from Justice McKenna of Whitestone and Magistrate Cornell gave the prisoner into his rare.

Miss Day's yacht is at present anchored at Whitestone. Miss Day discovered about two weeks ago that her Jewels and other valuables were gone and she reported the matter to the Whitestone police. Two of the crew were suspected of being implicated in the robbery and their movements were closely watched. One of the sailors was arrested last night and taken to the Mercer street sta tion. New York.

Tbe man was at flrst in dic nant at his arrest and claimed that he knew nor.hmg about the robbery. Later he appeared to break down and he confessed to Captain McClusky that he had stolen the Jewels. He said that uo other person had been implicated in the robbery In any way. The police are loath to believe this is three of Miss Day's crew were in disfavor with Miss Day and for the same offense. These three men, after the return of the Scythian from a three months' cruise, were discharged by Miss Day for intoxication and it was said that, they had threatened to have revengf; for their dismissal.

Castillon. however, would nut admit that anyone but himself knew of the theft of the Jewels, which he said he hail pawned for $500. Defective ilrownall took 'the man from the Mereer street station this morning to eourt. There Castillon underwent a change of mind and positively denied that he had taken the jewelry. He said that he didn't know that the woman had had any Jewels of any kind aboard the yacht and he never saw them.

The man was taken lo Whitestone. Miss Hay Is a daughter of Henry Day of Dord. Day lawyers. She is a member of the New York Seawanhaka Corlnthinn Yacht Club and is the only woman in this country commissioned as a master of her own boat. The Scythian was a tramp steam er.

but Miss Day bought her and fitted her up for cruising. BISMARCK'S AMI LY INVITED. Kiel.

Berlin, September 25 The government has just made its first grant, 250,000, for the relief of tho aufforors from the recent floods. I i I I I A Mandamus for Long Island City Water Commissioners GRANTED BY JUDGE GARRETSON. His Honor Holds That the Board Has Mistaken Its Powers and Duties and Has Pursued a Course Which Tends to Increase Rather Than Diminish the Dangers to the Inhabitants A Blow lor the Woodside Company. Justice Garretson of the Supreme Court has granted a peremptory writ of mandamus to compel the Board of Water Commissioners of Long Island Cfcy to pump water from seventeen weils located within the limits of Pumping Station No.

2. The mandamus was asked for by the Board of Health, which alleged that the health of the residents of Steinway, or the Fifth Ward of Long Island City, in which the pumping station is situated, was being endangered by a lack of sufficient supply. The legal fight has grown out of an act of the Beard of Health, clewing twelve of the within the pumping district. There are twenty nine wells in all, and the Health Board condemned a dozen of them on the ground that the wazer they supplied was unfit for use. Analyses of the water had been made and it was found to be impure.

The wa ter commissioners, after the issir ance cf the Health Board's order, not only closed the twelve wells in question, but the ivuuie pumping tation. rney give as their reason for so doing that when they attempted to pump from the remaining seventeen wells, which are located close to the water front, they obtained water from the sound, which was foul and unhealthy. Joseph Cassldy. temporary presiding officer of the Board of Health, in an affidavit submitted a few days ago, made the claim that Mayor Patrick J. Gleason, as president of the Board of Water Commissioners, was trying to create an artificial scarcity of water, in order that it might be necessary for the city to close a contract with tho Woodside Water Company, which he organized, to furnish a supply.

Gleason in answer denied that ho had any Interest in the Woodside Company, although he frankly believed that it would be in the interest of Long Island City to obtain a supply from that corporation. In granting the mandamus to day Judge Garretson files the following memorandum: "It is manifest from the papers submitted that the Water Commissioners, in wholly suspending the use and operation of Station No. 2 at Steinway, have mistaken their powers and duties, and have pursued a course which is In excess of the exigencies of the situation and which tends to increase rather than diminish the dangers to the inhabitants which would be incident to the continued use of the seventeen wells at that station which have been condemned by the Board of Healtih. "No Instance is shown that the sickness of any resident has been occasioned by the use of the water, and while it may be that the chemical analyses made by experts 'tend to show that such sickness might result, yet It is evident and in accordance with common experience that the depriving of the residents hause holders of a large and populous' seeffdn" of the city of an ample supply of waiter for domestic and sanitary purposes would unquestionably result in inestimably greater danger to health and be productive of much suffering and inconvenience. "As to the claim that the discontinuance of the operation of the station is also made necessary by tho lack of sufficient funds in the public treasury, it is sufficient to say that this does not satisfactorily appear.

"The application for a peremptory writ of mandamus is granted with $30 costs, beside disbursements." POWERS OF M. E. BISHOPS. Unlimited Transfer of Ministers of the Denomination to Be Discussed by Preachers in This Vicinity. The unlimited pewor of tho bishops of the Methodist Episcopal Church to tranfer ministers is becoming one of the most important questions in many of the conferences of the church, and some modification of this power, it is hoped by those interested, will be brought abont.

The Now York East conference, the sessions of which were held in St. John's M. E. Church in April of this year, requested the presiding officer, Bishop J. II.

Walden, to re transfer a clergyman to his former conference. The case was an unprecedented one and created a great Btir at the time. It will also be remembered that Bishop Walden had upon his hands at this session more transfers into the New York East conference than he could provide plnces for, and the Rev. Dr. J.

V. Dobbins of East Orange, who waB wanted at the Sumner Avenue Church had to denied a place. The llev. Dr. Charles L.

Goodell of tbe New England conference was admitted, as was the Rev. Dr. J. T. McFarland of the Indiana conference.

The preacher desired at the Nostrand Avenue M. E. Church was not admitted. Bishop Walden sending baok the Kev. Dr.

John Rhey Thompson, who is doing most excellent work. The opinion is growing, it waB learned this morning, among a considerable portion of the clergy, that the power of the bishops in regard to the transfer of clergymen iH too absolute, and should be curtailed. The subject will bo discussed at the Methodist Preaohers' meeting, on Monday morning, at the rooms of the Book Concern. Fifth avenne and Twentieth street. New York.

Most of the preachers of the de nomination in Brooklyn. New York and I vicinity will attend. The leading address at tho meeting win ue made iy tne Jiev. (reorge L. Thompson, formerly pastorof Janes Church in this city.

MURDER AND SUICIDE. Arthur W. May First Kills His Sweetheart and Then Himself. Shamokin. September 25 The bodies of Arthur W.

May. 24 years of age, and Miss Cora Kasoman, aged 18 yearB. both of Shamokin. were found in the blacksmith shop of Joseph Smink this morning. May had shot his sweetheart and then blown out his own brain.

The murderer and suicide was a blacksmith and up to the time of his death had been employed by Smink. The couple had been lovers for some time and last week they arranged to go away and be quietly married. Tho parents of the young woman objected to tho marriage, and this causjed a postponement. Being thus opposed by the parent of the girl, tho voung couple evidently made up their minds "to end their troubles by dying together. Thev met last night and, it ib supposed, made all arrangements to carry out their terrible plan.

The girl left her home early this morning and went direct to the blacksmith shop where Hay was in waiting. The couple went into Becond story of the building. The first news of the Rouble tragedy was learned when Mr. Smink found the bodies' thiB morning. The bodies were lying side by side, and May's right hand still grasped an old fashioned revolver.

He had blown the girl's brains out and thon sent a bullet into his own head. The bodies were still warm when found. GLEASON AHEAD OF TIME. The Mayor Attempted to His Nomination at Police Head quarters in New York. A hansom cab rattled up Mulberry street just before noon to day and drew up in front of the police headquarters building, in New York, Mayor Patrick Jerome Gleason of Long Island City, resplendent in a new fall suit, ornamented with his famous battle ax, stepped out.

Under hia arm he carried a huge roll of paper. Accompanied by his secretary, he hurried into the office of the Bureau of Elections. There he placed the roll on a desk and announced that It contained 4,300 names of citizens who were anxious to have him the first mayor of the Greater New York. "And I have 37,000 other signatures," he announced. "You're in a said Clerk Allen: "Come back on the 28th and we'll take your certificate," Under tie law that date is the fixed time for filing independent nominations.

"We'll have to send copies to the different counties," said Allen, "and we would be obliged if you could let us have copies of your certificate." "The law provides for the filing of these copies, and you will have to prepare them yourself." This affair was Anally compromised by an agreement on the part of Gleason to furnish the copies If he could. On the way out, Gleason thought he ought to stop In and see Chief McCullagh. "I may have something to do with reappointing him, and it is best that I should become acquainted with him." he remarked, apparently to himself. But McCullagh didn't see him. In the hallway Gleason met Chief Hopper of the Newark, N.

police. "I don't suppose I'll be able to do anything for you," remarked his honor, as he shook hands with Hopper, "but it is best that you should know me, so that if you pick me up in the street in your bailiwick you will know who I am Patrick J. Gleason." The last act of Gleason's visit was an invitation to all tbe reporters to "smile" with him. The "smiles" are taken In a place near the white building, which is owned by a man who was once In the liquor business in Long Island City, and had trouble with Gleason. As the bartender was preparing the "smiles" his bonor and the saloonkeeper glared at each other, but no blood was spilled.

Then the mayor, secretary and roll of signatures bundled into the hansom and were driven rapidly away. HOT FIGHTING IiN GUATEMALA. A City Bombarded for Twenty four Hours, in Which American Interests Are Endangered. Washington, D. September 25 The grr ity of the existing insurrection in Guatemala is exhibited in the following telegram received at the State Department to day from Samuel T.

Lord, acting United States consular agent, dated at Quesaltenango: "I left Champerico and am in Quesaltenango obliged to protect American interests. Communication with the Guatemalan capital Is interrupted. The city of Quesaltenango has been under fire and bombarded for twenty four hours and is now in the hands of the opposition general. Bombardmentn by the government forces is feared. Great American interests are threatenede." The town of Quesaltenango, of which Mr.

Lord speaks, lies about seventy five miles Inland, so that it Is hardly possible for our government to extend any relief in the way of a naval force. The United States steamer Alert is now on her way from San Francisco to Ocas, which town was captured by the revolutionists about a week ago. and when she reaches that point she. will afford refuge to any American who may be endangered.

Putnam, September 25 Frederick Bruncke, aged 25 of this place, while stealing a ride on a freight train in the yards of tbe Consolidated Railroad, last night, slipped and fell between two cars and received injuries from which he died an hour later.

He Called Upon Hugh Mo Laughlin This Morning AND WAS BACKED BY THE BIG FOUB. A Half Hour's Conference, After Which the Candidate for a Shrievalty Nomination Did Not Look Like a Winner. His Companions Said That Mr. McLaughlin Had Not Committed HimselfPoliticians Believe That He Had Done So Adversely to Mr. Hayes.

At 1 o'clock this afternoon the South Brook lyn Big Four. Senator Michael J. Coffee, John Alderman McGarry and Daniel Ryan, accompanied by Warden Patrick Hayes and Thomas Farrell. called at the Willoughby street auction room to see ex Register Hugh McLaughlin in regard to Mr. Hayes' candidacy for the Democratic shrievalty.

They wanted to know if he was with Hayea and if not why not. They were in conference with McLaughlin for half an hour and when they came out declared with entire unanimity tha Cept that Mr. they had nothing to say ex MccLaughiin wquld net com mit himself for or against the warden. It is believed, however, from the manner of the delegation that they got no satisfaction. Mr.

Hayes' appearance in particular waa not that of a man who had scored a victory. "Is Mr. McLaughlin with you?" he was asked. "Everything is all right," was the reply. "Is he against you?" "No one Is against me," said the warden sharply as he broke away.

In the opinion of politicUns Mr. Hayea and his backers received nothing less than a decided turn down. It has been reported all along by those on the inside that the ex register did not believe that Mr. Hayes W3 the most available man named for the shrievalty or any other county nomination.

Democratic delegates elected at the pri maries on Monday night will meet in tha Twenty first Assembly District to night to elect delegates to the city, county, council and Judiciary conventions. There are likely to be fights in the Second District in the Eighth (McGaryy's), and in others. The organization committee of the general committee at its meeting last night sustained Martin Conly in; the Second District, re vevrsing tbe action of the assembly district committee on Wednesday night.

He haa now half tbe delegates there, Some of the District Detnocratis Assembly conventions to night promise to pxciting. There will be a fierce fight in th Thirteenth District between former FIr' Commissioner Ennis and Thomas F. Farrell for the control of the city delegates. It is altogether likely tha: Ennis will win, inas much as he ueemci to have a strong grip on the Fifteenth Ward Democratic organ izaiion. Mr.

Purrfli, however, will no: give 1 in until actually defeated. Senator Patrick H. i MeOarrPii may al.o have some difficulty In naming tho delegates to tbe conventions from the Fourteenth District, although he practically squelched the opposition at the primaries. William Wuerst will have everything his own way In the Fifteenth District and Warden Hayes will win in the Fifth District without much trouble.

Personally, he believed that Tammany wmild see the wisdom of giving to Brooklyn what was asked.

PEASANTS TAKE UP ARMS. London. September 25 A special dispatch from Vienna Bays that owing to the disturbances which have recently taken place in Croatia, martial law lias been proclaimed in twelve districts.

The disturbances are attributed to the Hungarian authorities showing an inclination to deprive tho Croatians of their ancient privileges. Four thousand peasants, armed with farming implements, as already cabled, havo taken up a fortified position, two Hungarian officials ha ro been killed, and troops have been summoned to quell the Piatt Leaders Propose to With 1 draw General Tracy IF THE CITIZENS' UNION WILL WITHDRAW LOW. Secret of the Tracy Nomination Out. The Maobine Leaders Call the Plan Their Ultimatum, Which Is in. Effect That the Citizens' Union Withdraw Low, the Organization Withdraw General Tracy, and That the Citizens' Union and the Republican Machine Shall Then Unite Upon Ex Major Frederick A.

Schroe der or Any Other Candidate Which the Citizens' Union. May Name for Mayor An Important Announcement. Chairman QuiKg Issues a Statement Indicating That Plans for an Anti Tammany Slate Are Well Under Way. Th political situation from the Republican side has crystalized. The leaders have gathered themselves together and have resolved to indjicateu to President Seth Low exactly where they stand.

What may he termed their ultimatum, tleir final conclusion, will be made known to Mr. Lew and his political sponsors this arternoou. The ultimatum will be in effect as follows: "Mr. Low. you and General Benjamin F.

Tracy will both be voted for on election day, or nether of you will be. The Republican organization will not acept you as its candidate It will not indorse wou, because it would regard such indorsement as a step toward the disintegration of the Republican The Republican organization, however, is willing, if you withdraw, to make the largest concessions to you and to the Citizens' Union. It will withdraw General Tracy, who agreed to accept the party nomination with the greatest reluctance, and will nominate ex Mayor Frederick A. Schroeder of Brooklyn, or anyone whom you or the Citizens' Union desires. It will, in fact, concede everything except what it regards as an absolute act of to the party organization." The New York'organization Republican leaders decided to day upon the above indicated line of Aatlon.

They have also agreed that niStbing that might obcur between now and election day would cause them to diviate one iota from It. They do not anticipate that Seth Low's name will be balloted for at the convention at which the candidate for mayor will be nominated. It is possible, they say, that some Worth delegate may insist upon a ballot being taken for Mr. Low, but they regard the Low sentiment among organization Republicans since the agreement of General Benjamin F. Tracy to head the ticket as practically eliminated.

The mention of ex Mayor Schroeder is intentional and warranted. His name came up the conference referred to and was favorably spoken of, and it was agreed that he would be satisfactory as a compromise candidate. But no limit was placed upon the Citizens' Union. If it will withdraw Seth Low, and join the Republican organization and all the anti Tammany organizations, any candidate that the union desires, providing, of course, he is a Republican, will be accepted by the Republican con A. B.

A. Quigg Issues a States That the Republican Ticket Will Be Made Up From Members of Other Organizations. Chairman Lemuel E. Quigg of the New York Republican County committee made a statement to representatives of the press today. He was asked: "Has it been decided by the Republican organization to name a fusion city and county ticket, made up of candidates from the Republican party and the various anti Tammany organizations." Mr.

Quigg replied: "It is the plan." "How will this be accomplished?" "I will call the Astor House conference committee together, probably next Monday, and a fusion ticket will be discussed. The conference adjourned subject to my call as chairman." "The ticket will take in Democrats?" "My reply to that question," said Mr. Quigg, "is that very probably Democrats will be on the "Have you made overtures to the Citizens' Union to attend the conference?" "We are not making overtures!" exclaimed Mr. Quigg, sharply. "The Citizens' Union was invited to attend the conference.

If the Union sees fit to accept the Invitation it is still open." "Are there any negotiations going on as to the withdrawal of both Mr. Low and General Tracy?" Mr. Quigg made an indignant gesture of denial. "Will Mr. Fitch be named as candidate for controller?" "It isn't impossible." Chairman Reynolds was then sought at the Citizens' Union headquarters.

He refused io be seen. In reply to a written question whether the Citizens' Union would attend Mr. Quigg'a fusion conference, he replied he knew nothing or any such conference. He was then asked if Mr. Quigg again invited the Union would it take part in the conference? Mr.

Plan to Prfrppirvft Piazri by I rill zinc tho Gro und Fioor of the Bridge ISntrwnce. said this Vnorning that tt presented many good features. He was not prepared, however, to express any positive opinion and would not say whether th6 trustees would be likely to consent to it. The plan of operating trolley cars directly through the Brooklyn terminal and then straight up through bridge property, under the car storage yard, to Tillary street, has been suggested many times in the last fow years as a method of relieving the conges tion on Fulton street. The matter has never been formally passed upon by tbe trustees and it is impossible to say how they will receive the latest suggestion to grant the privilege of a portion of this bridge property.

Under the plans of those who have engineered the bridge crossing ail the cars bound for the bridge will go down Washing ton street. The new plan provides that the cars is ha 21 turn off at High street and afier running through the bridge terminal, Sands street and continue by way of the ground floor of the old terminal to the bridge roadway, where the cars are to go over the structure on the inner side. In coming from New York, the present plans provide that the ears shall leave tbe inner side of this roadway at a point below Sands street and reach Fulton street, either by a viaduct or by way of the Sands street tracks. The new plan changes thie route and the cars continue on the inner aide of the road way until the site of the old station Is reached. There they cross Sands street and continue uptown through the present station and reach Fulton by way of High street.

From an engineering point of view there is no objection to the cars going through the terminal, as they would not interfere with the stairways leading to tbe bridge cars. Tho toll box and waiting room would have to be removed or partly cut away, but otherwise the plan is entirely feasible. So far as the safety of the public is concerned the plan offers great advantages over the existing plan providing that the cars should proceed to Fulton street by way of Sands street. Under the existing plan vehicles and bicycles will have to cross the line of cars at that point and after proceeding up town by way of the plaza and Liberty street, the identical line of cars will have to be crossed again. Under the new plan vehicles could leave the bridge roadway without encountering any obstacles, and as there will surely be great congestion at this point such relief will be of great great value In averting accidents and collisions.

President Berri and Trustees Keeney and Henriques, in speaking of the new plan this morning with an Eagle reporter, each voiced the sentiment that the new plan had several good features. The three officials agreed on the point that there was plenty of available room in the bridge terminal to allow the passage of the cars, and also in regard to that portion of the new plan which provides that the trolley cars should proceed on the site of the old bridge station below Sands street. Instead of by the proposed viaducts. Neither of the trustees would, however, express any opinion In regard to their probable action upon the new plan or not, and no formal action will be undertaken on the part of the trolley roads until it is learned how the trustees feel on the subject. If the plan is approved the trolley roadB will make application for the privileges indicated, and if not it is the present Intention to use every effort to obtain the privilege of operating on the plaza and Liberty street.
