The new East River Bridge Commissioners I have at last. a a result of their own repeated efforts ami those cf Controller Coler. lu their behalf, suveeeded in obtaining a partial meas I ure of relief item their most pressing difncul i Lies. i A special meeting of the Board of Estimate was held late yesterday afternoon at which bridge affairs were thoroughly gone over, th comiiiis. ioners and the coit'iractors for the lower foundations being present.

Previously! The local elevated railroad offlcia ls were placed on Bridge Commissioner John L. Shea's higher toll rack this morning and put through the same experience recently given to the local trolley roads. This is the first time that the question of making the overhead roads pay a higher rate of toll for the privilege of crossing the bridge than that named in the original contracts, has been officially discussed, although Commissioner Shea has given ample public notice of his intention. No settlement of the question was to have been expected to day as the negotiations were only opened. The result of the conference was that the elevated roads were given the option of paying a toll of 45 cents per car with electric and cable power supplied by the bridge, as provided He Is a Brooklynite and Was on the Baltimore at the Battle of Manila.

Bridge Commissioners had lives lost and persons maimed in the Valley Stream disaster on Decoration Day, 1897, when a tally ho, occupied by many young persons from the Greene Avenue Baptist Church on an outing, was run into by a train of cars at the Merrick road crossing and several lives lost and many injured. The decision was handed down in the suit of Lewis, an infant, by Jeanette F. Lewis, guardian ad litem, against the Long Island Railroad Company.

The suit was tried last summer and the jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff for $1,000. Lewis was a young man. He was not very severely injured. The opinion of the court is written by Justice Woodward. The justice recites the hiring of the tally ho coach from Henry Hamilton by a committee of the Alpha Delta Theta, the society that started on the pleasure trip.

The driver of the vehicle was a reasonably competent man, but was not familiar wi'th the road. Young Lewis had never rode over it before. When nearing its destination, which was Valley Stream, the collision took place at the Merrick road crossing. Several persons were killed and others were thrown as much as a hundred feet and painfully injured. Justice Woodward says: "It appears from the diagrams and from the new East Rivet held a meeting in their offices in Chambers i Twelve jurymen in the County Court, after returning a verdict of not guilty in the trial of Samuel Schubert of 260 Cherry street, Manhattan, indicted for burglary and grand larceny in the third degree in breaking into Samuel Greenstein's clothing store, 141 143 Manhattan avenue, on April 10 last, were peremptorily discharged yesterday afternoon by Judge Aspinall and their names taken from the list of talesmen for this week.

All of the jurymen were indignant and two of them, Edward H. Meyer of 321 Lafayette avenue and William L. Pietsch of 714 Chaun cey street, told a reporter for the Eagle that Judge Aspinall's treatment of the jury was an "outrage." The jurymen said that they had faithfully taken into consideration all the testimony and had found after being out half an hour or more that the prisoner had the benefit of the doubt and therefore was not guilty. The prisoner had gone on the stand, they said, and testified that he had crossed to this borough on the afternoon of the burglary. He started about 4 o'clock and was arrested about 6 o'clock.

The time allowed in crossing the feriy, the jurymeu said, would not be had sent to the matter A cable message was received this morning from Manila, by way of Hong Kong, by President Beach of the Mutual Benefit As and Building Company, stating that his son, Lieutenant Edward L.

This was regarded by the elevated people as decidedly revolutionary as compared with the original contract by which they are to pay 12 cents per car toll and in addition be supplied with power and also with train crews while crossing the bridge. The bridge commissioner's proposition will be laid before the managements of the elevated railroads and a definite answer is expected within another ten days.

It was testified t'hat complaining witness came down stairs from his apartments above and found the prisoner in the hall way. There was nothing to show, the jurymen said, that the prisoner had committed the burgiary and he said on the stand that he had gone into the hallway to get out of the rain. Judge Aspinall said this morning that the per yard, that il the Municipal Assembly should request the Board of Estimate and Apportionment to issue special revenue bonds pursuant to sub division of sectiiu 1SS of the Greater Xew York charter to the amount of $200,000 for the purpose of preventing the deterioration or destruction of work already performed on the Xew East River Bridge, this board will authorize the issue thereof, and Resolved.

That the attention of the Municipal Assembly be called to the urgent necessity for providing for this work in this manner as set forth in a communication of the Mr. Whalen's opinion, at the re Corp Counsel to the Controller dated May ivs. Mr. Whalen's opinion, prepared at the request of Controller Color and with knowledge of the existing situation based upon the reports of the bridge engineer and an engineer sent by Mi Color to examine the work, declared in effect that special revenue bonds could be issued as an emergency measure and he oecidod the matter so serious as to warrant its being declared an emergency matter. He decided further that the money appropriated ranot bo used to pay contracts entered into pursuant to the Bridge act.

but only as which this accident occurred is admirably adapted for accidents of 'this character. The highway is macadamized and at the point where the tram dodges out from behind a dense piece of forest and crosses this way the tracks are planked in such a manner that a person approaching can scarcely discover any break in the smooth surface of the road. The sign indicating a railroad crossing is not such a conspicuous sign board as the law requires, but a comparatively insignificant'shin gle pole affair standing by the side of the roadway and partially obscured by intervening telegraph poles. The track is down grade from the direction in which the train which caused this collision was convine' and it an former price aso. Pine Lace Shea does not hesitate to say that he intends to place the whole matter in the hands of the corporation counsel, preliminary to breaking the bridge crossing contracts.

The conference this morning was held in the main office of the Department Bridges, Stewurt Building, Manhattan. Beside Corn prisoner was clearly guilty of the offense charged. The fact was, tne judge said, tnat missioner Shea there were present Receiver i Schubert was found in tfte store of the com plaining witness.

The track is obscured from the view of those approaching from the Brooklyn side in the direction from which the train in question approached, for a distance of a quarter of a mile until within thirty feet of the track. It was in this perilous situation that the pitman Striped Grenadine, 17K cts. per yard, former price 350. French Printed Organdie, 25 cts.

The whole matter was talked over at length, and Commissioner Shea submitted the LIEUTENANT ED WARD L. RACK Of the Baltimore. more had safely passed through the storming of the Spanish forte and the destruction of the Spanish fleet, and was in perfect health. Lieutenant Beach is well known in Brooklyn's social and club circles. He graduated from Annapolis with the class of 1SS7 and has been on active duty almost constantly since his graduation.

When the Eastern fleet started on its usual trip, he was transferred from the Puritan to the Baltimore. The first stopping place was Honolulu. At this place he was met by his wife, who was Miss Quinn of this city and sister of Edward Quinn of the Union League Club. She, with the wives of the other naval officers, had made up a private party to accompany the fleet. From Honolulu they went to Yokohoma, then to Hung Kcng.

Here orders were received to prepare for the battle and the ship sailed, leaving the women at Hong Kong, where they will remain until the war is ended. Lieutenant Beach is an expert engineer, as well as naval officer, and acted as chief engineer of the Baltimore until she started for battle, when he was assigned to war duty. He is a man of undoubted bravery, excellent judgment and coolness In the face of danger, and his friends are satisfied he acquitted himself with credit in the battle. They expect in a short time a letter from Mrs. Beach, containing a detailed account of the battle.

enter the store ran to the rear of the store aind went out into the hallway. The door leading into the hallway had previously been broken open by some one with the aid of a "jimmy." The proprietor, instead of chasing Schubert, ran out into the street and cried "Stop thief." A man across the way, Xou rick, ran over to the hallway and grappled with the prisoner. The proprietor helped to hold him. Judge Aspiaiall put emphasis on the point that the new hat of the prisoner was found, according to the testimony of the complaining witness, a short distance from the rear hall door, in the hallway. This showed, he said, that the story of the prison er, that he had stopped in the hallway to get out of the rain, was not true.

Furthermore, the judge said, the prisoner had testified that he came to Brooklyn to see his cousin, Fanny. In reply to persistent questioning by Assistant District Attorney Elder, who represented the people, the witness could not or would not tell the last name of the cousin. The evidence showed conclusively, the judge said, that the prisoner was guilty He added that his riiht to discharge the jury and dispense with their services for the week was undoubted.

Remodeling and Repairing at moderate prices. two propositions to the consideration of the elevated roads, one of which they must accept or forfeit the privilege of operating their cars on the bridge. The first proposition was that the elevated roads agree to pay to tbe bridge in tolls an amount not less than $294,000 annually for the privilege given tbem. This amount was figured on the estimate that they would send an average of 1,600 ears per day across the bridge, which would make the toll per car about 45 cents.

If the elevateds accepted this proposition tde bridge would agree to carry out the provisions of the original contracts and supply the power necessary' to operate the cars when they were on the structure. Brooklyn tally ho party, without any knowledge of the highway, and without any reason to apprehend danger, was driven, and this court is asked to interpose and to grant a new trial because the plaintiff in this action, who was fifteen feet from the driver, and who had no authority over him in so far as the management of the horses is concerned, did not exercise a greater degree of care in approaching to him unknown, in a portion of the country with which he was entirely unfamiliar and where he had no greater reason to apprehend danger than in any other part of the road he traveled." Justice Woodward says that the question of the degree of care which the plaintiff was required to exercise was in the province of the jury to decide. "A stranger traveling in the highway," he says, "has a right to an appropriation for the payment of entirely new and separate contracts made' for the purpose cr protecting such work as has already been performed. The conclusions arrived at by the Corporation Counsel were: I advise you that an appropriation can be made by the Board nf Estimate and Apportionment and the Municipal Assembly, but or.ly by rite issue of special revenue bonds for the en.ergor.ey described in your communication of 2. for the purpose of protecting such work as hu's already been performed, pursuant to Chapter "SO of r.he Laws of from deterioration and decay, and for the purpose of protecting the city from loss and damage by roason of the abandonment of contracts entered into prior to January 1, ISO.

The contractors' figures as to the amount needed for emergency construction were something like J' ls.noo, but the Mayor thought the work could be put into proper condition with In the council to day President Guggen hcimer had Mr. Whaien's opinion read and the resolution of the ard of Estimate, and Councilman Oakley introduced a resoiu' ion in accordance with the request of the Board of Estimate.

Peterson Claims That He Never Tried to Rob His Sister should charge 1Vz cents per car for toll, which would mean a revenue of about $111, 000. This included the furnisfaing of all power, by the elevated roads and not by the bridge and the difference between the two rates is w'bat the engineers estimate it will cost to supply the power.

assume that places of a peculiar character will be pointed out to him, and in the absence of such warning he cannot be said to be negligent, as a matter of law, if he exercises that degree of prudence which an ordinarily prudent man would exercise under the circumstances, and whether the railroad company had given proper notice of this dangerous crossing and had exercised proper care In approaching the crossing, are questions of fact peculiarly within the province of the jury." Justice Woodwird says, in conclusion: "Viewed in whatever light the case may be presented, we are unable to find any just reason to disturb the findings of the jury, or to reverse the order of the court in denying a new trial. The defendant is given all of tbe privileges to which a defendant in a case of this character is entitled, and the jury has found a verdict upon facts presented for determination." Justice Goodrich, presiding, writes a concurring opinion, in which he says emphatically that the accident resulted almost wholly from the neglect of the defendant corporation in failing to comply with, the provision of section 33, article 2, of the railroad law, that his Constructor Bowles the Principal Witness for the Prosecution at the Navy Yard Court Martial.

He said: 'I found the eleva'ted officials entirely reasonable and prepared to appreciate the position of the bridge management. They could not give a definite answer to the two propositions submitted, but promised to lay it before 'their directors.

I expect a final answer by both the elevated and trolley managements shortly, and shall give them a reasonable time to investigate before deciding." When asked who.1: be considered a reasonable time Mr. Shea said ten days, and added that 'if the local railroads were not prepared to give a final in Mrs. Addle V.

Mrs. Borrowe says the estate is worth at least $5,431,829, and the liabilities have been placed at $2,551,000. She alleges that, without author! tj', valuable assets of the estate have been transferred to her brother, as an alleged legacy under his father's will, and that certain assets which were non prcductivo have not been disposed of by tbe executors, while other valuable assets have heen sold for less than their market value.

Mrs. Borrowe was represented by Kelly Prentice, with Joseph H. Choate as special counsel. Her case was opened by Mr. Prentice who, in an hour's speech, claimed that the estate had been grossly mismanaged by Mr.

Edgell, who was, he said, responsible for its present condition. John E. Parsons, who, with W. J. Kelly, appears for the executors, said that Mrs.

Borrowe only owned one sixth of the property, while the defendants owned the other five sixths. Austin Corbin, counsel said, although he left a large estate, left one which was very much entangled and had an indebtedness of $2,500,000. Mr. Edgell's management had. Mr.

Parsons claimed, saved the estate to a great extent. He also questioned the jurisdiction of the court. Mr. Choate, in reply to Mr. Parsons, said that it was essentially necessary that this ease should be disposed of by the Supreme Court, and that Mrs.

Borrowe had been advised by eminent counsel tiit the action was necessary if the estate was to be saved from "absolute and total slaughter." He said it was a mistake to suppose that the defendants could legally do what Mr. Corbin had done during his life time, as Mr. Corbin could speculate if he wished to, and could, if he wished, maintain a large park cr a zoological garden, but the executors had no right to spend the property intrusted to their care in 'any such manner. Justice Daly reserved decision on the question of jurisdiction until 2 o'clock. The Bureau of Elections on Smith street was a scene of activity all day to day, and a small army of clerks were kept busy providing fcr the needs of the visitors.

This is the only day on which voters can register to participate in the coming primaries, and the books will be open till 10 o'clock. Witti a force of forty men engaged continuously for thee days, nigfct and day, Superintendent Russell was able to place in the hands of the enrolling clerks the duplicate books in every one of the 516 election districts, but so vague were the instructions given 'at the eleventh hour by Mr. Rodenberg of Manhattan that many vexed questions are bound to arise over tbe day's business. Witti few exceptions all the districts were fully manned, and the vacancies were promptly "filled at the Smith street office. The chief business occupying the time of the clerks there was giving certificates of removal to those who had registered at tlie last election but.

who bad in the interval moved, and also to those who in the meantime had arrived at their majority. These certificates enabled the holders to register to day. but were useless to those who in the meantime had, taken out papers of citizensfiin.
