STOCK MARKET OPENED STRONG, But There Was a Fierce Onslaught Made on Industrials. I WAGNER'S BILL VETOED. Mayor Disapproves of Atlantle Avenue Improvement Measure. Mayor Van Wyck this afternoon disapproved the bill introduced by Senator Wagner, providing for the improvement of Atlantic avenue at an estimated cost of $2,500,000, one-half of which was to be borne by the city and the other half hy the Long Island Railroad Company. The Mayor's action finally1 disposes jf the measure, and the tracks on Atlantic avenue will not be depressed for some time to come, at least at the total or partial ex-p'-nse of the city.

The Mayor did not give his reasons for vetoing the bill, but at the public bearing before him he expressed the opinion that tlie riiy should not be put to any cost in the depression of the tracks on Atlantic avenue. At that time be showed his unfriendliness toward the Long Island Railroad Company, so far as this matter went, very strongly. He questioned whether the Long Island Railway Terminal Tunnel Company was sincere In its application for a tunnel franchise. The Mayor's action is as distinct a blow to the Atlantic Avenue Improvement Commission as it is a victory for the Municipal Assembly. That body opposed the hill at the hearing through Councilman Cassidy and Alderman Bridges.

It will be that the Municipal Assembly refused to grant the tunnel franchise unless President Baldwin, of the tunnel company, who is also president of the Long Island Railroad, agreed to relieve the city from nil cost of depressing the tracks on Atlantic avenue.

Minimum Service Given in Order to Sqneese Out a Dividend on Wat- ered Stock General Manager Breckinridge Promises a Reply to the Demands in Two Weeki. A committee of fifteen from the Broad way Board of Trade called at the office Of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company to-day to present a petition to President Clinton L. Rossiter requesting that the company grant transfers from the cars crossing Broadway, that the optional transfer system that was in vogue tome time ago, hut had been discontinued, from the Bushwick, Cypress Hills and Jamaica lines, be resumed, and that the suburbanite receive the same concessions as were granted to the people of Bath Beach, Fort Hamilton and South Brooklyn.

General Superintendent J. C. Breckenridge received the committee instead of Mr. Rossiter, as he stated that he probably understood the situation better than the president of the company. The committee, through several of Its members, put the plain facts of the situation before him, and although Mr.

Breckenridge was not pre- pared to tell off-hand Just what he would do, said that he would give them a finil answer In two weeks from to-d3y, and intimated that be was already considering several propositions which would be of benefit to the Broadway merchants The committee met at the office of County Clerk Huberty, at and proceeded at once to the office of the Rapid Transit Company, and arrived in the directors' room of the Rapid Transit Company at Clinton and Montague streets at 11 o'clock. It is composed of N. H. Levi, chairman; County Clerk Peter B. Huberty, Assem- blyman William P.

Delaney, Alderman Francisco, Elwln S. Piper, A. S. Stewart Walsh, Otto Kunpner, Frank Doyle, Nathan S. Jonas, F.

Grasmann, C. S. Cutler, Joseph Schreiber, George C. Miller, James H. Hart and James T.

Chesnutt. General Superintendent J. C. Breckenridge received them and Mr. Levi offered the following petition: PETITION OF BROADWAY BOARD OF TRADE TO BROOKLYN RAPID TRANSIT COMPANY.

The undersigned committee representing the Broadway Board of Trade respectfully Submit the following facts to your earnest consideration: recent' changes Inaugurated by the Brooklyn 1 Rapid Transit Compauy are proving great hardship and a source of inconvenience to the residents of Broadway and vicinity a positive detriment to the business men and property owners of said section. We refer to the discontinuance of every transfer from lines iutersecting Broadway. We respectfully solicit your company, therefore, to inaugurate transfers at the following points: 1. -Lorimer street and Broadway. 2.

Graham avenue and Broadway. 3. Myrtle avenue and Broadway. 4. Gates avenue and Broadway.

5. Halsey street and Broadway. 6. Boekaway avenue and Broadway. 7.

Reld avenue and Gates avenue. 8. iteid avenue and Halsoy street. We further petition your company for the restoration of the continuous surface tar service to and from Jamaica to Broadway ferry. Furthermore, we ask you to Issue optional transfers at Ridgewood on surface or elevated cars.

It is the unanimous sentiment of our committee that compliance with the requests herein enumerated would prove beneficial to the general public as well as profitable to your company. Mr. Breokenbridge then said: "If we can afford to grant what you ask we will do it." Mr. Kempner said in part: "There is a pressing need for this reform, both in the interest of the shopping public as well as in the interest of Broadway business men. The merchants without exception are prepared to testify to the fflct that since the transfer system at Broadway has been discontinued, there has been a noticeable and measureable decline in business.

This falling off in their trade coincided with the time th.it transfers were abandoned, so that they make no mistake when they attribute it directly to that cause. It is such a marked falling off, and signifies such material loss that they have reason to be greatly alarmed at their future prospects." Mr. Walsh said that the Broadway merchants had done all they1 could in the past to aid the railroad, and that the committee, of the Broadway Board of Trade represented millions of dollars worth of property- belonging to the merchant along Broadway, and that they had suffered more than any other section from prior transportation, and he thought it was about time that they bad received some benefit from the railroad Instead of their trade injured by the system now in vogue. y''W did all we could to get tba elevated Built," he continued, "and now wo are confronted with tho fact that it Is the Moloch that is to crush, us. This is bresking np our business.

At the time of the strike a few year ago, while we sympathised with the strikers, we put our bands in our pockets to keep the soldiers at Halsey street and Broadway and at Flushing .1 veil tie to protect the railroads from the strikers.

ADMISSION, 10 CENTS. had many changes under consideration, and one of tbem was the building of a union depot at Manhattan crossing and Broadway, where the passengers would be transferred. The Jamaica people are better satisfied by transferiug to tho elevated trains at this point, he said, as they save time in reaching Broadway Ferry, and as for continuing through- cars no regular time could be made on account of blockages in the Btreets by trucks and wagons. Mr. Levi said that there was not much coujestlon on Broadway and that people were not moving away from Jamaica on account of the double fare Imposed on them If they wished to reach certain points on Broadway.

Optional transfers were for many did not want to climb the long stairs to the elevated stations, and many could not. Mr, Levi told of a number of merchants on Broadway who, during the time of through cars to Jamaica, bad to send delivery wagons there twice a day, while now twice a week was all that was necessary. "Many of the women," he said, "finding they cannot reach us for one fare, go down to Fulton street and we are cut off." Mr. Breekeahrldge said that the company was as anxious to get the people to go down Broadway as the merchants were, but did not see why they were" not willing to take advantage of 'the more rapid facilities of the elevated. Assemblyman Delaney said: "I represent these people in the Legislature, and do not think that they are being treated rightly, and unless somethiug is done to help them some drastic measures will bare to be taken.

The people of South Brooklyn made their fight and won it, and while we do not care to make threats, we will have to do something for our own protection. The people ask for optional transfers and should have them." Messrs. Piper, Jonas, Grosmann, Hart, Schreiber and Miller also urged optional transfers. Mr. Breckenridge said that he was not then prepared to say what be would do, but everything he could be would to help tbem and naked for two weeks to consider.

The committee accepted this and will meet at the same place on Monday, April 30. when a final answer to their demands will be given. DRUG CLERKS' BILL SIGNED.

Mr. Kennedy, the wife of the rector, said that her husband, although still very III, had gained considerable strength during the last twenty-four hours. Violating tho Sunday law, John Kolle, the proprietor of Prospect Hall, at No. 263 Prospect avenue, was arrested by Captain Reynolds of the Fifth avenue station last night for keeping his place open Sunday morning and running a show.

Basnto Native Are Ready to Resist an Invasion of Their Territory by the Boers Natives Are Acting Under Advice of the British Commit, sloner Colonial Dutch, to Bar British Products. LONDON, April interest still center in the situatiofijliwhjiputheasti'rn part of the Orange Free State.

To-day's cablegrams tend to confirm the "Telegraph's" rumor that General Brabont has defeated the Boers near Wepener, capturing several guns. The release of Major Dalghetty's force at Wepener is expected soon. According to the "Telegraph's" report, General Brabant, with bis whole force of mounted troops, left Aliwal North on Saturday and marched north to Rouxville with the object of pressing on to engage the Boer force besieging Dalghetty. The dispatch adds nothing beyond the fact th.it be met the Boers probably on Sunday and crushingly defeated them. It is not known whether General Cherm-side assisted Brabant.

Chermaide's division was still at Reddersburg Saturday afternoon, but by forced marching he might have reached the vicinity of Wepener Sunday. PRETORIA, April 14 official bulletin issued last night says that heavy firing is reported at Fourteen Streams, north of Kimberley. The bulletin also says that the Boers suffered no casualties at Wepener, -here Colonel Dalghetty's British forces are surrounded. The Boers at Wepener captured 500 oxen mules and horses. General Jeroneman is reported to have defeated a body of British near Wepener, ho fled across the Orange River.

The Irish-American ambulance corps has arrived here. LONDON, April 16. A dispatch from Ladysmith, dated to-day says that scouts report the Boers who were recently near Elandslaagte to be retiring beyond the Blg-garsberg. HEARING ON THE RAINEY BRIDGE Will the City Build to Blackwell'e Island? Mayor Van Wyck gave a hearing this afternoon on Senator Plunkett's bill authorizing the Sinking Fund Estimate, if in its judgment the best interests of the city require such action, to purchase the Rainey franchise and all rights for the bridge across the East River over Blackwell's Island. Senator Plunketr, ex-Mayor Patrick Gleason, of Long Island City, and Dr.

Thomas Rainey. the owner of the appeared in favor of the bill. L. M. Manley was against the bill.

He said the location of the bridge proposed by the city was better than the Rainey bridge location. Dr. Rainey made a strong plea for the bill. In answer to the Mayor's questions, he said that within two years after the contract was signed he wonld deliver the bridge to the city. It would cost to finish the bridge.

Property rights had been acquired on both sides of the river. He considered the money invested by him and his friends, and the interest therein, to amount to $1,000,000. He claimed that Controller Color's tunnel scheme was. "an infernal humbug." "My bridge," said be, "will accommodate more traffic than ten tunnels. The four pier for my bridge will cost less than the one caisson pier for the bridge proposed by the city." The Mayor said he would look tho bill over.

Asked afterward what he would soil for, Dr. Rainey replied: "I might sell for ten cents or $10,000,000. Its sure I wouldn't for ten cents." DOCKMASTERS IN. The Appellate Division Says that the Mandamus Must Issue. The Appellate Division has affirmed tho lower court In mandamusing the Dock Commissioners to find employment for Thomas Percival and ten others, doek-mssters in Brooklyn before consolidation.

They were transferred, by error, to the Finance Department. The Controller discharged them, and they got a writ of man damns compelling the Dock Commissioners to give them places in that department. They reported for duty, but were never assigned to places. Then another mandamus was Issued to compel the Dock Commissioners to assign them to work. The Commissioners appealed, with tho result named.

The Civil Service Commissioners put the names of the dockmasters on the eligible list in 1805), but other than the relators were appointed to the recent places, snd the relators were discharged. The question on appeal was whether the Civil Service Commissioners, in making rule 42, compelling the Dock Department to give relators a chance to be heard on reason for their removal, exceeded their power and embarked In the bnstnes of legislating, thus wrongfully attempting to add to the law. Justice Goodrich, who write the opinion, says that the Civil Service Commissioners were empowered to make rule and regulations, and that administrative powers were delegated by the Legislature. The rule of the Civil Service Commissioners did not, claimed, conflict with the White law. Removal without notice to the relator aad opportunity to be heard without cause assigned and filed was unlawful, and the order of tho Special Term should be ifflrmed.
