NO CABLE CARS ON THIRD-AVE.
COURT OF APPEALS DECIDES AGAINST IT.
THE DECISION OF THE LOWER COURT DENYING
THE coMPANY's APPLICATION FOR
MANDAMUs AFFIRMED.


icy TELEoRAPH To rHR TKIBuxEJ
Albany, Feb 5.-The Third Avenue Railroad Oo'"
pany Is debarred from constructing conduts along
the line Of its road that It might propel its cars oy
cable, under the decision Of the Court Of Appeals
to-day. The Third Avenue Company secured
peremptory mandamus from Justice Patterson, direct
Ing that John Newton, Commissioner Of Public WORKS,
give to the company written permit to begin and
continue excavations along It's route for the purpose
OF laying cables between the rails. The Genera
Term reversed the order of Justice Patterson, ana
the company carried its case to the highest court
where the General Terms order is affirmed Inc
prevailing opinion is written by Judge Danforh ana
Is concurred in by Judges Ruger Andrews and Flncn
Judge Earl writes a dissenting opinion, and IS sup
ported fn It by Judges Gray and Peckham.
The prevailing opinion holds that the laying oil
conduit for the cables would require new franchise
which must be provided by the Common Council or
tho Legislature both that while the public would
be greatly benefited by the change, the city should
derive some pecuniary benefit for the great franchise
that the charter of the company gave 1t the right
to lay surface railroad and to replace the streets
as they were found that all the charter grants Is 10
lay rails 10 did not contemplate the laying OF con-
Quits for cables, and under the grant by its charter
II Is compelled to return the material TO the streets
which it excavates This could not be done With the
condus. Them too, the surface OF the street would
not be replaced, for slot through which the cable
must be operated would exist the entire length Of
the line. This would each the cslks Of horses
shoes and allow the frost and water that would get
into it TO trouble with the gas and water pipes
The dissenting opinion contends that tho meaning
that steam power be used any part Of the road
for propelllng meant that should not Do
drawn by locomotives. The cable system was not
known when the cOmpany's charter was granted
With the exception of LOCOMOTIVES, the propelins
power left with the projectors TO adopt any salo
and practicable system OF moving its cars. BY cable
steam, in remote way moves the cars. The parties
had in mind in executing tho grant, tho proxlmHe
immediate cause. and not the remote one, ana
what intended the prohibition Of operating
by locomotives upon tho streets Of New-lofh hOtn
Ing In the General Railroad fct forbids the company
10 Increase the burden To which the sirce was al ms
subjected and the authority given gives the impiei
right TO operate Ito road by any customary usual
and proper modes. BY the terms OF the grant thn
company is permitted to use improved inventions
that might be brought into and the company has
the right 10 substitute cable for horses.

A.. L. HOPKINS RESIGNATION.
RUSSELL sAGE's BRIEF EXPLANATION.
GEORGE ~ GOULD DENIES A REPORT OF LACK
OF HARMONY IN THEIR RELATIONS.

GEORGE u GOULD DENIES A REPORT OF LACK
OF HARMONY IN THEIR RELATIONS.
Amos L. Hopkins resigned two weeks ago bis posi-
lions as second vice president of the Missouri Pacific
and the st. Louis and Iron Mountain Railroad Com
panles The vacancies will not be filed. and the
Offices may be abolished, but Mr. Hopkins does not
resign his seat In tho Boards, and he remains menl-
Der Of the Executive Committee and the sub-com-
mittee on expenses in both companies. Mr. Hopkins
Is not an officer of any other Gould company, and he
has not resigned his place in the management ex-
cept in these vice presdcnees The published state
mont that there was serious quarrel between jay
Gould and Vice President. Hopkins is denied by the
highest authorities. George J. Gould, the acting
president Of the Missouri Pacific, said yesterday:
al want you to deny that there is any unfIiendly
feeling between Mr. Hopkins and my father or me.
Il is not true that he resigned in consequence OF
reduction OF salary He will retain his present posi-
ton the Boards Of the companies which we control
lie will maintain his headquarters I'm our office, and
personally have the greatest confidence in his rail
road ability want TO repeat that there Is nothing
In the resignation 10 indicate lack OF harmony be-
tween us Mr. Hopkins has been made Ill by his
domestic troubles and the recent death OF his father
He wishes 10 devote more ;lme TO the settlement of
his fathers estate, and for this and other reasons ne
wishes to escape from all executive Responsiveness.
The published statement that he had resigned because
VIC nad feduCeo MS sdidrS - u''0t'S Ao'sN'
theory is ridiculous to those who know that Mr. HOP
klns has handsome fortune"
Russell Sage explained the res gnaron in differ
ent way. He said: II is perfectly well known
that Mr. Gould is retiring from active business IL
most natural that no should train his IONS in the
management of tho companies controlled by him.
There may have been some Jealousy between the
Oldest son and the favorite lieutenant, but know
nothing about IT, Mr. Gould has two capable sons.
and | have no doubt that he wants 70 nnd places
for thems
Another friend OF Mr.. Gould intimatod that he
knew tho cause OF the publication. The social rcla-
tons between Mr. Hopkins and a former partner OF
Mr. Goulds were OF such character that the former
partner could not avoid, II said, the smallest
opportunity Of hurting any who now enjoyed
Mr. GouldiS confidence.
