The holders of stock 10 the street railroads
of this city have enjoyed life for the Last few
wears, for the business of the lines has been
extensive and highly remuneratve. In fact,
most of the lines have been paying handsome
profits during a great many years. Since lSs1
absolutely secure investments which made
generous returns in tall dividends have been
hard to find, and the pOssrssors of street rail-
road shares have had reason TO chuckle again
and again as the protits were counted up and
the dividends came rolling in with the regular
ity and smoothDess of Thrd-dvc. car moving
from the Sixty -tifth-st station to the City
Hall. They could exult over their less fort
innate fellow citizens. Some of the roads have
been paying right along ten, fifteen, twenty per
cent. and even more, Oh the capital actually
invested.
But though the pockets of directors AMI
stockholders waxed fat, few of these gentlemen
showed a disposition to deal generously or even
Justly with their employees Though the re-
ceipts and net earnings of the lines steadily
grew greater, the hours of conductors and
drivers were not lessened, nor WAS their pay in
creased. The men in the employ of the great
street-car lines have been treated with nc

One of the advantages Of the pew rules OF
the Assembly is seen in the early production OF
the Appropriation bill. This was reported to
the Assembly yesterday. two weeks Garner
than usual. It's total is larger than that oI last
year, because 100000 more Is TO be added TO
the school funds-an Increase that probably
can be justified by the committee. True to
their principles, the Democratic members tired
to cut off the appropriation for the support OF
the Civil Service Commission.

The shaking-up which the members of the
police force in the Fourteenth Precinct are
undergoing might wisely be extended to other
parts of the city. Frequent transfers among
the men would probably prevent many of the
abuses which are believed to pervade certain
precincts. And among the minor evils which
the Commissioners should seek to removes the
sale by members of the force of books or tick
cts for entertainments Tor the benefit OF the
Police Pension Fund. That is a species OF
blackmai which dcmOraiizes both those who
levy it and those who submit.

Death of Walker Williams.

The community was very much
shocked at the death of Mr.. Walker
Williams which occurred at his country
residence, "White Hail." about six
miles from the city at an early hour
Tuesday morning. 1t had been known
to. Mr.. Williams physician and some
intimate friends for some time, that he
was affected with heart disease and to
them his instantaneous taking off was
not surprise, but by his acquaintance
in general, he was regarded as man in
full health and likely to live to ripe
old age. The death occurred about five
o'clock in the morning, as he was re-
turning from walk in the garden.
He had just passed through the gate
into the yard when he was seen by a
servant to throw up his hands, gasp and
fall PROSTATE. His pulse had ceased to
beat when help reached his side.
Mr.. Williams had been in the city
the day before apparently in fine health
During the night previous to his death
he was restless. and disturbed and COM
planned of something like a chill, but
declined to send for physician.
He was 42 years old and and bache-
lor. His aged mothergwith whom he
lived is the only very near relative to
mourn his loss. He was a splendid
type Of the Southern country gentle
man and deserved the wide popularity
he enjoyed. High minded and gener-
Gus, he was possessed Of ample means
to dispense liberal hospitality and al
ways delighted having his friends about
him. 81. &tfs
