NEW YORK, april 70.
Tho Eric Railway Company gave or.
ders yesterday TO have oil their unused
locomotives put in condition to begin
hauling coal the first Of next month.
There is great rejoicing among the EN-
plOyees, as many Of the engineers, con-
duCtoH, tiremen and brakemen have
made. only half time during the suspen-
sion Of the coal mining, while others have
boen altogether idle. During the sum-
mer Oi 1870, the regular trains running
between Hawley and Port Jarvis carried
72O cars Of coal per day. Nearly all Of
this was shipped to Newburg or Jersey
City, and belonged to the Pennsylvania
Coal Company, A large quantity was
also carried on ordinary freight trains to
points along the line. 1t Is expected
that the rolling stock will prove made
quate 10 the demands which will be made
upon 1t by the coal traffic Of the present
year.
The united railroad companies Of New
Jersey, comprising the New jersey Rail-
road and Transportation Company, Cam
4 Amboy Railroad Company, Philadel-
phia & Trenton Railroad, and Delaware
u RarlLOn Canal Company, have been
leased by the Pennsylvania Railroad Com.
pany, which agrees to pay 1O per cent per
annum on the capital stock, and assume
oil their obligations.
The cattle plague has broken out among
large drOves Of cattle in WestChester
county. The disease Is inyariable, and
terminates fatally. Considerable alarm
exists.
The plans Of the Department Of Docks,
for improving the water front OF this city,
from G1st street, North River, TO Oath
East River, was yesterday submitted 10
the Commissioners Of the Sinking Fund,
and approved by them. The plan will
not be ready for general inspection for a
month TO come. 1
The statement that serious charges
have been made of nature to affect the
standing Of the Knickerbocker Lite III.
surance Company of this city, Is without
foundation. A movement was instigated
by o number Of policy holders whose poll.
cics have elapsed, and which tho com.
pAny refused TO restore, because the risks
at issue had become impaired and unsafe
by reason of disease. The company has
sustained u careful examination by the
Superintendent Of Insurance, the result Of
which WILDE published in a few days, and
Is 10 sustain fully the claims OF the com.
pany 10 confidence and support,
lnCGndiarieS destroyed the house OF Pc.
ter Kerrigan and the stables Of Patrick
Kelly, with five horses, in Jersey City.
Loss $36,O00. Eight perSons narrowly
escaped death. '.ll.
The club house Of the New York
Yacht Club, ut Staten Island, was sold to,
day for $4,000.
Judge Dlatchtorl to-day sustained Jay
GOulds demurrer 10 the suit OF the
English Erie Stockholders, holding that
Charles Burt cannot bring q suit, and that
consequently, because he was Joined with
others Us plaintiff, the bill cannot be slls-
tanned. The other grounds OF tho de.
murrer were dismissed. The result is,
that the English Stockholders are so far
defeated, and must amend their bill, which
Judge Blatchtord granted them leave to
do, before the case can proceed. The de-
Cision is also fatal to the Ramsey suit
against the Eric Railway, for It rules that
tue plaintiff, who owns stock on tue COM
pany's books, cannot maintain the suit,
even though owning stock. 'sl
The Presbyterians propose to erect in
this city u Presbyterian house, suited to
the uses of the denomination, and the ar
rangCments have been nearly completed
for the purchase Of the lots and buildings
on the northeast corner Of University
Place and 9th street. s. s'a..-
