air brakes and the train stopped before it had
gone than half its length. Luckily il had just
slowed down To cross bridge and was not running

When the smoker, which was the rear OF the
train Jumped the track, the passengers were almost
panic stricken. Some were thrown out OF their seats
aud others hung with all thur strength expecting
every minute to be their last. There also
scare in the passenger ahead. when their
truck got on the track, they were tossed around
athcr roughly, and of the ladies terribly

BROOkLYN'S DANGER.

The representatives OF the New York Board Of
Underwriters, Mr.. Thomas u. Jones, Of the Nassau
Fire Insurance Company, and Mr.. Thomas j. Moore
in behalf Of several property owners Of Brooklyn
called upon the Board Of Fire Commissioners in
that city on Friday and had consultation with
reference to landing kerosene oil on the docks.
Mr.. Jones said that the Underwriters were
alarmed about the number of lighters and that
loaded and unloaled along the water front, where
there fully S1O00vU.0J worth of property stored
all the time. The Fire Commissioners had the
power, he believed, To prevent the dangerous prac-
tice. They had control of the docks and the
vessels lying at them. Mr.. Williams, president Of
the Board of Fire Commissioners, said there was
plenty OF law, but the difficulty in enforcing II.
The department had two inspectors the water
front day and night. and II was their duty to report
all dangerous cases. No such reports had been
recently made Mr.. Jones stated that he had been
Informed that there l25 barrels Of kerosene
the wharf at the foot of Dock street and 25 barrels
on d lighter at the same place.
Commissioner Ryan remarked that that was the

use He considered thar the privilege to tear up all
the streets aud Introducing steam was very valuable
franchise. and. if granted at all, should be made
source Of large revenue To the city.
Mayor Ely remarked that if the ordnance made 4
mandatory upon the property owners 10 adopt the
ash receivers he could not give IL his approval As
the steam supply scheme he understood the Alder
manic resolutions transferred the power of the Board
in the matter to the Sinking Fund Commissioners,
and he thought this very proper disposition to be
made of the resolution. The Commissioners were
the Mayor. Recorder, Comptroller. Chamber
lain and President of the Finance Committee
of the Board of Aldermen. Taese gentlemen
had charge Of thereyenues ofthe city. II was prob
able that they would authorize experiment to he
made with Il few blocks in some small district IL the
experiment proved public benefit it could then be
extended over Il whole part of the city i'll such u
way to weld the largest revenue to the sinking
fund
The committee expressed the opinion that they had
objection TO such experiment II the interests OF
the city were properly looked after.
