Relatives and friends are invited to at- men were contented and bad no grievance to present. As to the statement of Mr. Johnson, he said he bad been familiar with the fact that not only had Mr. Johnson given his check for a large sum to Master Workman James Pines not an employee of either the Brook-, lyn Rapid Transit Company or sny portion of Its. system but thst Mr.

Johnson had-also, for the past two weekS, been holding frequent conferences with General Master Workman Parsons and District Master Workman Pines and had Invited' certain employees of this company to meet him at his office. It will be remembered that the Messrs. Johnson recently s8ld their interest in the control of the Nassau Company to tha Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company. In view it the conditions which existed umong the men before the Johnsons sold their interest in the control of the Nassau property, Mr. Johnson's activity in other people's affairs can hardly be attributed to his philanthropy as a reference to the Detroit Press will shew; and taken in connection with other attempts which have come to the knowledge of the company, showing a determined effort to depress the price of the companys stock in Wall street, the purpose of the effort to produce dissatisfaction among our employees is apparent, however discreditable it may be to those connected v) ith it.

I have said from the start that there was no general dissatisfaction among our employees, and the events have justified this belief, but it is particularly gratifying to know that the men themselves will now recognize' the selfish origin of the nttempt to breed dissatisfaction in the interest of Wall street speculators. Mr. Rossiter stated that his attitude had been all along expressed in his repeated assurance of willingness to meet the employees of the company at any and all times, but that he would not, and could not, consistently, treat with those outside of the employees, who never had a knowledge of the affairs of the property nor were familiar with the men individually. The officers have not believed at any time that the situation with regard to its employees has been any less pleasant during the last thirty days than at any other period during the last four years, and the management further recognizes that the employees arc a parted parcel of ite system, and that their welfare and interest are regarded more by the officers of the company than couid possibly be the case with any outside organization or individuals. INSTITUTES $300,000.

Corporation Counsel Decides That Deputy Commissioner ef Fnblie Works Must Supervise the Work. The Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences is in the same box with the Brooklyn Public Library. Corporation Counsel Whalen has decided that the new building must he erected under the superrision. of the Deputy Commissioner of Uublie Buildings, Lighting and Supplies. The Corporation Counsel made this decision in a report to the Board of Estimate, this morning, on an application from the trustees of the institute for $300,000 to continue the work of construction, of the new building.

The application was. together with Mr. Whaiena report and decision, and then to the Commissioner of Public Buildings, Lighting and Supplies. The application was accompanied by a resolution, which the trustees asked the Board to pass. The resolution provided for a bond issue for the amount asked for.

The Corporation Counsel, in his report, said that the bnildihg was a public building, and ae such its erection should be under the direction of the Department of Public Buildings. He also said that the application from the Commissioner for funds should be accompanied by specifications and plans. The application of the trustees wss not in regular order and should not be granted. The application for the money was made some time ago, and then referred to the Controller, who said, at the time, that he would see that the trustee got the money. The motion to refer to the Commissioner was carried unanimously.

HER HUSBANDS BODY. The rcaidcnts of Grppnpcipt arc at present considerably interested rh- a differemn between Home of the inhabitants of. that part of the borough which involves the erection of a "spito feneb similar to those whieh have been erected 'elsewhere in the city. in this battle are the owner of a dwelling house and who is the aggrieved part' in the matter; a social club and the proprietor nf a poo parlor. The of the Manhattan Social filth are at No.

017 Manhattan avenue, at hirli number is also a biliard and pool rom owned by the firm of Hathaway (Ja -anar: and next dfr.r is a three-story frame dwelling owned by Alexander fampbe, who, with his wife and three children occupies the upper part of the house mil rents the store on the ground flo to Charles Rruening. who deals in tea and coffee. Back of the house is a yard which has been used by Mr. Campbell's family and some pretty fiowe.rs ore grown there. The children have been using it for play and in the summer eveDings as a place to sir and breathe the air.

The yard was, in eom-mon with all those on the block, only divided from that adjoining by a low fence until a short time since. Two years ago Freierick Stripeok pur-chawed the lot adjoining Mr. Campbell's honsp on one side and to the house he then added a three-story extension, one of the floors of which has been rented as a dance hall. This was disagreeable to Mr. Cimp-heil, hut he eould do nothing in tho milter.

In April the second floor tf the hnisp was rented by the Manhattan wUrial Club and it is claimed by Campbell that the noise from the social club and from the toolroom so disturbed his family that. sleep was almost impossible and that his yard was filled with stumps of cigars anl cigarettes which the club members and the pool players threw there from their different floors. Mr. Campbell says that he stood all this ss long as he could, and could find no means of stopping it. But about three weeks ago he was sifting in the yard and a piece of tobacco that had been chewed until its possessor had abstracted all from it that it had contained, struck him on the right ear.

Mr. Camphelljben decided that the nuisance had to be put an end to. He consulted the Building Department and was informed that he had the right to erect a fence so long os he kept within his own property line, and drove no naib or encroached on the rights nf his neighbors. Then the spite fence, ten feet high, was put up. This was done on the Fourth of July, but on the morning following it was found lying flat on the ground in his yard.

Then the police were called upon, but no action has been taken by them, and the matter is a puzzling one to all concerned. Mr. Campbell declares that he will reconstruct the fence Is soon ss he can, as it is the only way by which he can obtain the quiet and privacy necessary to comfortable existence. The conditions of things at present," he says, ire such that not alone is onr rest disturbed and our comfort destroyed, but my property is suffering a depreciation in value from the nuisance of the pool-room and the club. I have been told by the Building Department that I can erect a fence ten feet above the curb line, and that will cover the windows of the lower floor.

That will be some relief, snd I hope to find a further remedy against what the fence will not cover. Mrs. Hathaway, wife of the keeper of the billiard-room, spoke for her husbjj; tend! who is 111 and eonld not be seen: The boys in the Manhattan Club, she said, "are a lot of good' young men, twenty-nine of them being in the club altogether. They play pool and billiards, and, of course, sing. and.

perhaps, make a little noise at times. But there is never any disorder among them, and no intoxicating liquors are Served them, either in their club or in the poolroom. It is a shame that any one should want to interfere with my husband in making a living, for he had his hand taken off in a factory four years ago, and is nnabie to do any work. On the 4th, when we arose, we found our place darkened by that fence. Who knocked it down we do not know, for.

though we-have been accused of it, we had nothing to do "with it. My husband has taken advice in the matter and has been informed that it is unlawful to hoard up onr windows if they are ten feet from the ground. Why we should be troubled and annoyed by our neighbors js a mystery to me." The next development h) Greenpoint's spite fence war ia being impatiently awaited. age. 38 8 o' N.

President of the New East River Bridge Commission Lewis Nixou appeared to urge he necessity for the immediate apprfria-ion of the money. In answer to a ques-ion from Mayor Van lyok, Mr. Nixon aid: The bridge will be finished in two and half years. As that meant that the structure would finished before Ms term of office expired, Mayor Van Wyck looked happy. He has frequently declared that it would be finished before he left the Mayors chair.

I You shall have the money. he told Mr. vixon. Then he moved that the matter be pferred to the Controller. 'Before the meeting adjourned the Con-ffoiler was ready to report.

His report was lhat the should be appropriated, Jnd the report was unanimously adopted by he passage of a resolution authorizing the 'uoney. Mr. Nixon before leaving said: I mean 'be bridge will be all completed by1 Dec. 31, 901; that it will be opened for traffic by Ihen. It will cost in all less than i It was resolved to transfer $25,000 unexpended balance appropriated for work to 'e done in Department of Sewers by pubic letting to the maintenance nnd repairs Jcconnt in Brooklyn'.

The same course Vas -taken with a $10,000 balance in jueens. A letter was read from Police Captain heehan asking to reimburse 'im for the cost of defending himself in a IVial before -the Police Board where he was cquitted. It was referteil to the Corpora-ion- Counsel. It was resolved to permit he transfer of $2,000 from the account of 'he Special Commissioner of Jurors to the Cings County jail. The application of City llerk Scully and two assistants for $10 er day during the time it took thenKto ount the soldiers' vote was denied.

Mn tcully, according to the Corporation Coun-'elwas not entitled to any extra pay, the there got $5 per day. The excise moneys disposed of to the various charities. The widening of Grand street in the Eastern District came up and a bond issue if over $70,000 was authorized to pay the I'ost. Twenty-two thousand dollars, was to put heating apparatus in ubllc No. 84 in this borough.

An ppiication for $200,000 fop an addition to Lhe building occupied by the Central Board Education was referred to the president If the An application from the ('Department of Buildings in Brooklyn for an Additional appropriation was referred to the flon troller. I1 Jhe new Hall of Records Building in will not he the ornamental pal-J'xfe intended by the architect if Mayftr Van 3 wyck can help it. Some weeks ago it was lold how the interior of the building was lo be- equipped and decorated at a cost of 12,500,000. There was to be beautiful Itatuary, magnificent staircases, mnral ilecorktions surpassing those in the Mezzanine Palace. Mayor Van Wyck, at the meeting of the Board of Estimate to-day, knocked this 'icheme in the head as an unexampled exhibition of municipal extravagance.

1 The came np several weeks ago Sn a resolution to authorize a bond issue lor the amount named in the The Mayor opposed it. He decided that Horgan Slattery, the Tombs architects, should Investigate and report whether the amount 'hoold not be cut -down. They made their (report yesterday. If was the effedt that (the interior -of the building should not cost 'more than $1,475,000. Architect Thomas, who drew the original Mans, argued his case, by the Mayors He said the room were all It would take two years to draw oew plans, etc.

Well, we will get another architect, then, aaid His Honor, briskly, i Then he introduced a resolution jhnt the plans should be modified to cost not more than $1,500,000. Corporation Counsel AVllalen opposed this. The new building, be said, should be worthy of the city. Mr. Coier said there was no necessity (for grand opera house.

The whole build-jog, including the land, would cost the city .510,000,000. We will start a building to accommodate all the city office before I leave here," interpolated the Mayor. The New York Public Library building still cost $5,000,000, Mr, Coier said. Ye, answered the Mayor, and they hant get the money for that." 1 1 The Mayors resolution went through, Mr. -Whalen casting the lone negative vote.

Two forms of contract were offered to the Board to-day for the removal of snow. Mayor Van Wyck declared that no matter (what the contract Was in' form, the work should be done at the rate of $2 per day i or eight hours a day. ANTI-EXPANSION PAMPHLET.

The man was killed outright and both women were injured. TWO BRAVE POLICEMEN Invaded the Wilds of Ridgewood During the Storm AND CORRALLED THEIR MEN. Protected by Rubber Coats and Boots, and Armed With Umbrellas, Messrs.

Cloonan and Nevins Camped on the Trail of Bungard nnd Captured Him While He Was Engaged in the Peaceful Task of Coupling Cars. Policqmen Cloonan and Kevins, of the Butler Street Court, arrayed themselves last evening in their ruhber coats and boots, armed themselves a couple of umbrellas, nnd journeyed out to the wilds of Ridgewood. They were camping on the trail of Leo Bungnrd, 26 years old. of No. 502 Seventh avenue, whose wife, Josephine, of No.

219 Twenty-second street, had secured a waijrant for his arrest on a charge of abandonment. 1 Cloonan and Nevins had grown weary watching Bungards 'house without result, and finally learned that he was employed as a car coupler at the Ridgewood car stables. They started out last night to round him up, figuring that Bungard would jot be expecting them on such a night, and their surmise proved to be correct. They found their man without any trouble, and proceeded to put him under arrest, when they were interrupted by the superintendent, who observed: You can't take that man away now; I havent anybody else to do the work. Cant help it, old man.

retorted Nevins. "we need this msn in onr business, and we had too much trouble getting him to turn him loose now." The foreman raved and stormed even as the elements outside the depot, hut the two minions of the law heeded him not, hilt dragged Mr. Bungnrd out into the storm and to the Ralph avenue station house, where he was cast i nto a dungeon and there left; to meditate upon the evil of his way. This morning when arraigned in the Butler Street Court he pleaded not guilty to his wife's charge of laving abandoned herself and one child, and Magistrate Bristow paroled him until July 30. After conrt had adjourned and her mother proceeded to upbraid officers Cloonan and Nevins, claiming that the adjournment was a put-up job on their part to get the husband clear.

They were fina'Jy quieted down and left the court. Officer Nevins is authority for the statement that he has had Bungard before on the same charge. Nevins says that after Bungard had remained in jail for a couple of week he patched up a truce with his wife, agreed to pay her a certain amount each week, and was liberated. Some time later Nevina aaya that Bnngard endeavored to terminate hi earthly existence and reach the promised land via the carbolic acid route, but failed in his attempt. Brighton Beoek Races.

ALBERT JOHNSON CHAMPIONS LABOR. (Continued from First Psge.) the only honest one that could he adopted. It is wrong to deduct from a contactor's or motormans pay the time he lost my delay through no fault of his own. Its like my wife and I am going to attend, a social engagement in a carriage, and having a eochman to drive us. Suppose we stop at tjle place of our engagement two hours, there is no reason why we should deduct two hours pay from the coachman.

He had to remain and watch the carriage for that-time. In like manner, with a conductor and motorman. When their car is unavoidably detained, a frequently happens, there is no reason why they should be docked, to use a common expression, for the time represented by the delay. They had to take care of the car in the meantime. I am told that when the men called on Mr.

Rosslter he asked them to sign a paper stating that they did not come from any laboring organization before he would confer with' them. The men very politely but firmly refused to do so. They were justified in. adopting that course. I believe in labor organizations.

They have done more to keep up high standard wages than all the' other forces combined that could he mentioned. Mr. Keeney told them that their demands were unfair becnuseyfhe Brooklyn Rapid Transit stock had never paid a dividend. Technically Mr. Keeneys contention was true, but practically it was not.

The stock has paid the best kind of a dividend. In May, 1S98, it sold at 36, and in Mtty of this year it sold at 136. Thats the best kind of a dividend a stockholder could get, especially when you remember thst the stock was originally capitalized at but is now $45,000,000, 1 It ill becomes a road like the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company to pursue a beggarly policy toward its employees, in the matter of wages, especially in these times, when prosperity Is so profound. Senator Hanna stated the other day, in London, that it was possible for any man to secure employment at good wages in this country. In Detroit railroad employees are paid 21 cents an hour.

In Cleveland they are paid 20 cents an hour, after they are broke in. In, Boston the same wages prevail. There is no reason why the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company should not treat their men as liberally as the railroad companies do in the cities tI have mentioned, The company publishea its increased earnings with great deal of glee, and why shouldnt the employees share in them? It has a bright future. Over in Wall street they would have you believe that it not only promises to be a veritable gold mine, but la one already, Do you think there will be strike? the reporter asked. That I cannot say.

It all depends on how strong the men are. Nobody knows that. I know that the old men are well organized. In reality, theres a strike going' on now, for the company is getting rid of the ol hands as fast as it can. Is It true that you gave the men $500? "Yes, thats They told me that they were badly handicapped for funds, and I gave them the money to replenish their treasury." i Mr, Johnsod will sail for London again in August.

For some time to come he will make frequent trips across the ocean. He is at the head of a large English syndicate, which will establish trolley systems In London, and throughout the United Kingdom In general. Tha Brpolttyn Rapid Transit Company gave out the following statement this morning: Mr. Rosslter wss seen In regard to the article which appeared in this mornings "Herald concerning the alleged which existed among the employees the road, and he replied that he had made particular effort to ascertain If any cause for complaint existed among the employees and found, with scarcely an exception, that the Ex-dividend.
