POLITAN ROAD.
The HERALD's long continued fight for cheap fares
the New York Elevated road bore substantial fruit
yesterday. The directors of the company. at meet
ing held during the afternoon. unanimously voted
that the fares from the Battery to Harlem,
Third avenue shall be ten and Ave cents
spectively, according 10 the hours. SO that the
travelling public during the busiest hours will be
able to reach Harlem cent cheaper on the elo-
waited road than by the horse The effect of this
step. it is believed, viii be undoubtedly to compel
the horse company also to reduce its fare above
the depot from six 20 five cents. Mr. James A. Cow
ing, the secretary Of the company has been among
the first and the champions of this
ure, which, i'll the opinion Of experts. will not only
be popular, but also give the railroad greater re-
ceipts than fifteen and cents respectively had
been charged, as the law allows.

rather Wild, though not of a vicious nature
He does not deny the act, and shows a ratler
DoaSIlul spirit In conversation about the

lleVe that his purpose Is to screen Others as it
is well known that there were two men in the
boat with him when it passed up the stream.
One OF the wounded men named Arlington,
who was not so badly in jurcd. Was summoned
TO appear at the Police Court this morning
and WAS there at the hour of opening. He has
had most of the shot picked out of him. Aving-
ton stated to reporter of the STAR this morn
ing that he recognized the young man, Wood
as one in the boat when they passed up by
the target and says the occupants of the boat
noIfed him and his companion to leave the
target and have no more shooting over the
liver. The cOlOred men simply replied that
they should not do so. as they were employed
to attend the target These men then told them
II they did not leave, they would return in a
half hour and make them leave. and the first
thing they knew was that the shots were fired.
and that they were wounded. The shots came
from behind a cluster OF bushes behind them,
and th"y ran towards the stand, one IF the
snois being fired as they ram. Wood was com
