for four-track road &c begin on n line parallel
with the Registers Office at Centre street un-

aiXth and Fifty ninth streets and o connection
with the yiaduct Of the New York Central
an extension northward from City Hall under
loop, Including Whitehall and State Streets.
Two OF the tracks are to DO used Tor way
trains and two for express trains. Stations at
about the came intervals as those on the ele-
waited road will be arranged for the way trains,
while larger stations at appropriate distances
will be built for the express trains.. A rough
estimate PLACES the cost OF constructing road
between City Hall and Forty-second street at
$4,000, 900.
Tho Commissioners have only thirty days In
which to settle definitely the style of transit to
be used, but 1t is held that the Mayor has the
Commission. The Commissioners must adver-
tise for plans and hear all who want to DO
heard. Many applications have been received

Hopper were read. They we're vouminous.
The principal allegations we're that Col. Hopper
had boon absent from the city without leave
on various occasions: that on May 81, 1889, he
had relieved Can't Belknap from command Of
his company when the company was In u state
characterization, and made him inspector of
rife practice; that he had refused to sustain
Capt. Belknap In his efforts to keep order In
his company after being restored to command !:
that Col Hopper had shown sympathy with the
insubordlnat es and that he had again relieved
Capt. Belknap OF his command and detailed
him as superintendent OF instruction OF re-
Capt Belknap. continuing the testimony
begun at the, previous session q the court,

Lieut. Smith was examined as to tho pay roll
for service in the state camp In 1887. He said
that not only were several members OF the
regiment who were absent represented by
substitutes. but that in several cases one man
OF the substitutes were not members Of the
regiment: hers had been members but sixty
days so they had no right to serve.
The pay roll in signing which Capt Belknap
vouched that all the persons enumerated In 1t
had personally served. was offered in evidence
