Fighting Vanderbilt.

The City of Rochester, N. Y, and
Vanderbilt are at sword-points just now,
and if the fight between the two parties
is not compromised soon, there may be
serious trouble. Several weeks ago the
Common Council of Rochester instructed
the Mayor to enforce the city ordinance
prohibiting the running of the trains of
the New York Central and Hudson River
Railroad through the city at rate ex-
ceeding eight miles an hour, OF switch
ing cars across any street of the city.
The Mayor requested the Superintendent
of the road to comply with the ordinance,
and the Superintendent said he would
conform as to the requirements as to the
rate of speed of passenger trains, but the
upgrade west rendered 1T almost i'm
possible to get freight trains out of the
city at that rate of speed. In reference
to the ordinance prohibiting the COM
pany from using or occupying any por-
tion of the street, lane, alley or square
within said city for the purpose of MAX
ing up any train or switching any car or /.
cars, under penalty of $50 for each
ofense, he said it could not conveniently
be obeyed; and neither could the one
prohibiting loading and unloading pas
sengers or freight on any public thor
oughfare or premises. Several arrests
have already been made for violating the
above ordinance. But the Mayor and
the railroad officials declare that it is i'm
possible to keep passenger trains going
if the law is enforced, as the depot is in
the heart of the city, and the tracks cross
all north and south thoroughfares. Mr..
Vanderbilt says the whole action is q
piece of malicious spitework because he
refused to build an elevated railroad
II 4. L L
which would amount to about 81 ,0OO, 600,
which he could not do. He offered to
build the road if the city would pay
half the cost, but the representatives of
the city wanted him to pay all. He says
if this prosecution is kept up, he will
carry the track around the city; but he
does not think the people of Rochester
would be so Indifferent to their own in
terests as to compel him to do this.
