come q Fire Commissioner He had mania for that
service, and was seen at fires regularly as the Com
missioners themselves and was much more active ON
such occasions than some Of them. But he will be outa
as active In the direction In which his energies
have been set for he is monomaniac any question

THE ELEVATED ROAD AND BRIDGE. John II. Hoag-
land master of Bridge transportation, stated yester-
day that 1t would considerable time before the cables
necessary ID the running of the Bridge would DO
working order The elevated road agents announce at
the time that 1t viii require several weeks
move the City Hall station. or course there must be
City Hall station but in the end there must also be
Brooklyn station of the Newly rk elevated road. The
Chatham and the road to be built 10 Brooklyn only
very thinly disguised. Indeed such connection Is
natural and desirable that must be considered
as inevitable Apparatus for connecting the ee
waited with the cable readily be devised at little
cost and the convenience will be such that the pubs
will be shortly demanding t. This design has been
tertained from the beginning but both Bridge and rail-
way managers have far misunderstood public feeling
regarding the two eneprsesas toconcea the project for
fear OF exciting prejudice. Even they talk only OF
connecting the Bridge depot with the road station bya
foOt-path.
