ffgyWF ILTH IN CARS. atrons of Brooklyn Eoads Have Ail Their Senses Offended. urthor Arraignment of Careless and Neglectful Officials. rcgulur Train Service and Total Disregard of I'ntsrngor' Convenience. Among tbe roinplftlnts hesrd concerning Brooklyn fcluvalol roads Is one Hint ulns Ircqumtly round the curves nt a dan-rois rate or speed, Ignotlng decrease of omentum cominaulcd by tho signs.

Thero gi ound for tlio complaint. As a rule, tho glncera do not wait until tbey uru entirely ound the curves before Increasing the TIM CRCSn OH TOE BTAlKS. ecd 10 that, by tho time the rear car gets the curve it is going at full speed. 1'liero seems to he no regulation 1 ate for tho ilns to run by. On tho contrary tho run-ng tlmo is uncertain and spasmodic.

Trains fast and sloir by turns. Between tho Vandcrbllt avenue ana Navy rcct stations a bunt or speed Is generally it on tor a Bhort distance, nnd thcu tho train .11 bo maao to slow up with a suddenncs at often throws passengers off their seats, is not very oltcu though that the Brooklyn trains show too much speed. The pro-king slowness with which they generally Is the cause ot no end of murmuring, mis Is especially tho case on tho ltldgo-od and Filth avenue lines. Tbe ti alus are it only slow, but they aro not frequent ough. Ten and fifteen minutes Intervals 'tween trains aro common on tho Iltth ave-te line, while a passenger waiting tor a dgewood train at Navy street will fro-icntly see two and sometimes threo East lew York trains pass to one on the ltldge-ood line.

rasscngers who take the Fulton Ferry to id from New York are tho principal suf-rcrs from the road's Irregular train Ber-ice. The Kldgowood lino Is the only ono of 10 Union system that to tho terry, h'so who live In the East New York district iDer most Inconvenience Irora this arrange-enu Thero are two vv ays for these peoplo to reach ae ferry, either ot which, necessitates a liange ot cars.

The Brondwny and East New ork lines converge, here and uso the same rack to tho terminus. In coming back pas.

ingers aro allowed to get on board cither rain. It they wish to take a train tor tho rldgo and there Is no bridge train theie, It is 11 1 ho same, they aro bustled Into a llruad-ray train and carried as tar as Gates avenue, na then transferred to the train they orlgl-ally intended to take. There Is apparently no necessity for this HEW POST-OFFICE OPENED. 'ostal Dullness In Full Swing In tbe Now Fodoral Building. Tho Stars and Stripes wcro hoisted from he top of tbe now Federal Building at Wasb-ngton and Johnson streets, Brooklyn, this aornlng, and the building was formally pencd for occupancy by the l'ost-nmco De-artment.

The paraphernalia of tho roit-onice was eraoved from (ho old quarters last Saturday, na ai midnight tbe regular postal work was progrebs In the new bulldlnir. Tho doors, lowever, wero not formally opened to tho ubUo until this morning. Ev iry thing vns a working oiutr before daylight, and during he forenuon thero was a Mcody stream of Isltors pouring In ut tho Washington Htreet ntraucia to Inspect oind admlru the now uarters.

OKI Infirm or weary peoplo do not inro about moving about more than It neccsiary. It here ere signs on ho engines people might be ablo to tell which train to take In tho first place without guessing at It. Tho worry, and confusion caused by the Union Company's complicated transfer arrangements are great.

'1 bo Company has, in tho last few days been doing some renovating along the East New York and Rldgewood linos. Tbo work has been done In a desultory sort of way, but nevertheless an Improvement on tho old condition Is visible, (stations and car-win. dows hao been cleaned, a few platlorms swept and occasionally a comparatively clean car Is put on. While on the subject of clean cars, tho suggestion Is pertinent that tho Company look alter of the rolling stock used on tho Filth avenue branch. There are coachi on that linn which are nt only for stock cars.

1 ho original color of the seats has long been Indlstlngulsh iblo from dirt. They look as It they had fallen In a mud puddle and had never been cleaned. 1 hey aro blask, worn and greasy, other parts ot the cars aro Just as bad. Two cars were noticed last week in wmcu tbe glass ventilators bad been broken. Portions of the glass which had not fallen entirely away from tbe ventilator, hung in a threatening manner lu tho fiame, ready at any minute to drop on the head of somo passenger.

Thore Is probably less travel on tho Fifth avenuo lloo than on the others, jetthatls hardly a reason why some ef tho station platforms should be so poorly lighted as they arc. Neither tbo Union street nor tbo bt. Mark's avenue station Is sufficiently lighted, and a man might push another off or himself step off tho edgo In the darkness without any one being any tho laer. As an evidence of how the stations aro neglected, tbo fact might bo cited that at a good many stations along tho Fifth avenue and East New Y'ork linos bill-posters bad been at work tearing down old bills aud putting up fresh ones. Wherever they had been at work tho platforms were Uttered with paper scraps.

This was a week ago, and 5 et at somo of the stations the scraps aro (till there. It Is evident that theso platforms had not swept for a week, and tbey lookod as It It bad been a month. Dirty stairways prevail along tbe Filth avenuo line, also the wbolo line has In fact a generally abandoned and neglected appearance. Tub Etemki World will print letters from Brooklyn citizens who hate complaint to make against the road nuisances. THE POWER OF THE PRESS.

Daniel O'Shea Favors Its Use In Abolishing tbo Road Nulsoncos. To Zdttort Tbe Evkiuno Wobld never contained a mora truthful statement In relation to any subject than It did when It fully exposed tbo condition ot tho Union lines. I do hope that you will follow up tho subject till the nuisances havo been abated. lam an old tt atelier by this filthy route, and my health has Buffered very much In consequence. Individuals may complain when their rights are disregarded by those who should act at least honestly towards the poo pie from whom money Is received throughout tho year.

The power of the press can right the wrongs that are practised towards the public by the management or proprietors ot the Union Ittspeatfully, IUniel O'Biika, Held avenue, Brooklyn. OBJECT TO IMPROVEMENTS. Property-Owners Protest Against Senator Mccarty's Paving Bill. William 11. Beard and S.
