The operation of the new electrlo railroad line of the Brooklyn Heights Railroad oompany, between Brooklyn and the village of Flushing, will begin on Saturday atternoofi, October 24. The construction ot the Mne has been retarded owing to the delay In building the necessary, bridge at Strong's causeway, but the last work was completed this week, and after Saturday cars will make frequent' trips over the new line. The route at present will be from Brooklyn bridge and, city hall through Myrtle avenue, Washington avenue and Flushing avenqe to Maspeth and Whence by Grand street through Newtown Corona and Strong's causeway passing Cedar Grove and ending at the Main street station of tbe Long Island railroad In the village of Flushing. The line will be operated under a twenty minute headway euid this service will be Increased If the conditions of travel require.

Heretofore thenre has been no direct means of communication between Flushing and Brooklyn. The most direct route by rail haa been tbe roundabout way of Long Island City requiring at least two hours to reach the city ball, Brooklyn. Tba new line will cut this time In two and will afford a oomfortable ride over a pleasant routa It Is expected that not only will this means ot communication between the two piace-be of benefit to persons visiting between the two places, or to persons living in Flushing and doing business In Brooklyn, but will also turn turn the shopping trsde of Flushing, which now largely goes to New York, to Brooklyn, for both in matter of time and expense of traveling the advantage will all be on the side of ths Brooklyn merchant. The regular fare between Flushing and BrooMlyn wilt be ten cents Including transfers to most ot the intersecting lines, thus'enabllng persons coming from Flushing to reach almost any part ot Brooklyn. The National Express company la already operating express cars between Brooklyn and Flushing and packages are being handled between the two points In very much less time than heretofore; five collections and five deliveries being made dally by that company.

The Brooklyn Heights Railroad company will signalise the opening of the new line on Saturday by Inviting the prominent people of Flushing to Join the officers and directors ot the company in making a trip over the new route in the companys handsome parlor cars. A new feature of railway trafflo In Brooklyn will go 4ntoe effect on the opening of the new Flushing line; namely, the Institution of a regular parlor car service between Flushing and Brooklyn. On each Tuesday and Friday, after this week and until further notice, two regular trips will be made by parlor cars. Beats will be assigned to passengers, as on the parlor cars of steam road 8, and the oars will only carry their seating capacity. A porter will be In attendance to look after the wonts of passengers.

There 'Will be a special charge of 15 centa for' each seat In addition to the regular fare ot 10 cents; or In other words a- round trip ticket good only on day of Jsue will be sold at the price of 25 cents. Passengers desiring to go only one way will be charged 10 cents for each seat In addition to the regular fare. These cars will leave the corner of Bredford and Jagger avenues. Flusn-lng, at 9:30 A. and 2:00 P.

Sharp and will run via Corona, Newtown, Flush, ing nd Myrtle avenues to city hall. Since no passengers will be taken up en route the Urns will be made In a little less than the regular running time. Cars will be due at the city hall, Brooklyn, at 10:35 A. and 3:05 P. M.

From the city hall they will run up Fultou street passing through the shopping district and principal dry goods stores as far as Flatbush and Third avenuea The cars will leave on their return trips from Flatbush and Third avenue at 12:15 P. and 4:45 P. M-, and arriving at Flushing at 1:30 P. and 8:00 P. M.

Transfers will be given from these cars as from tbe cars hi regular service. Tickets for the parlor cars will be purchased from the conductor on bosrd the cars. On Saturday next between tbe hour of 3:00 and 8.00 P. the company will run free cars between Flushing and Corona on a ten minute headway. No children will be allowed In these cars unless accompanied by parents or guardians.

No fares will be collected. A CITIZENS MEETING. Members of tba Thirteenth Ward Property Owner Association Confer. A meeting of tbe executive committee ot tbe Thirteenth Ward Property Own-ere association ot the city ot Brooklyn, which la an composed of ntarly all -ot the owners ot property that will be affected by rhe building of tbe new East river bridge, wss held last night at 78 Broadway, Brooklyn, the office of Counsellor John J. A Rogers, the counsel for the association, and the plane which bad been adopted were discussed at great length.

Mr. Jaehne, the chairman of the committee, reported that it had been decided to change the name ot the association to the "New East River Bridge Property Owners association and that from this time on the organization would be known by that name. He reported that the committee had treated with great consideration the many valuable suggestions oontained In the eble letters which In to the opening circular had been sent by members of the association to the committee and said that those that were considered for the best Interests of the association had been adopted. Tne following' is an outline of the constitution and by-laws: The luwoclatlon Is to formed and, divided into squads each oe being made up and composed of all (he members living on one block who shall elect as their representative to tho executive committee one of their ablest and experienced neighbors. The executive committee will be composed gt the representative men of the vicinity thus elected and they shall elect the officers of the association.

The formation of the squsdS will begin at once and they shall elect (heir officers within a few weeks and the general election for officers of the association will be held on the first Wednesday of December, 1896. The chairman announced that by means of the adoption of many articles corn talned in the constitution ths Individual attention of each member of tbe association would be secured and the burden of the work to be done would be equally distributed and done In a careful and expeditious manner. He commented severely upon the inactivity of (he members living or owning property above Bedford avenue remarking that all the enthusiasm of tfcs members seemed to be confined to the lower portion of the property to be affected by the building ot 'the new bridge. That there was no doubt but that from this time on their cooperation would be secured and none but rep-resent at lve men would either become members of (be executive committee or officers of the association. That ths committee had received many suggestions as to whom the offices tn the association should be given to and that a number of the members had volunteered their services, but that ths 'committee had deemed It wisest that In order to have representative men at (he head of the organization tha whole matter of the election of officer would rest upon the members themselves.

The meeting of the committee will be held at the office of Lawyer Rogers on next Wednesday. Oscar E. Langer Expelled Again. Oscar E. Sanger, the Independent candidate for Congress, In the Sixth district, was expelled from the Fifteenth Ward Republican club at a meeting held last night.

DELANCY STREET FOUNDATION. BRIDGE COMMISSIONERS CONSIDER PROPOSALS FOR THE CONTRACT. P. H. Flynn Expects to Got tho Contract And Saya Bo Will Bring the Matter to Court If Be Doea Not Sample of Granite Before the Commission.

The New East River bridge commissioners met this afternoon In the Emigrants' Savings Bank building to consider the proposal for a contract to bund the (tone foundation for a ptar at the foot of Delaney street. New York. Up to the time of going to press the commissioners bad not reached an agreement One of the oo man las loner stated to a Times reporter prior to the meeting that the commission meant to treat ail parties with fair consideration and whatever was best for the interest of the two cities would be done by them. The commissioners stated that any statement to the effect that there was a prejudice against P. H.

Flynn, who was the lowest bidder, was without foundation and that the commission was disposed to treat all bidders in a fair manner. Mayors Wurster and Strong were both at the meeting. Patrick Flynn went to the bridge eoanmiestoners office at an early hour and stayed there all the time of the meeting. Mr. Flynn stated thathe expected to get the contract as he wea the lowest bidder and that If he did not get it he would go to court and compel the commissioners to show cause why they had not given It to him.

Mr. Flynn said that some of the other bidders has a more personal experience about bridge-building than he haL None of the men, he said, had ever gone down Into a caisson and personally superintended the placing of foundations. "They hired men to do the work for them. I can do, the same and will give bonds to any -amount up to (100.000,000 or mare that I can perform the work," said Mr. Flynn.

During ths meeting of the commissioners a load of sample granite was delivered at the office. PERCY-GRAY RACING Court of Appeals Bands Down a Decision To-day, October 21.
