RICHMOND DAILY TINEs,
July -. 1890.
A general tie-up was ordered in the build
ing trades in Brooklyn this morning. This
is the outcome Of the persistent strike OF
the roofcrs, who have been out now FOR
nearly two mohtus. The action Of the men
will result in serious los TO the contrac-
tors. For the past month buildings all over
the city have been standing in an undnisb-
ed condition, and have sustained more or
less damage. Owners have become clam.
orous for the completion Of their houses,
and will also sustain great losses in pros
pectiye rents. A total paralysis in the
building business Is feared in Brooklyn,
where IL has been more brisk for several
years past than probably any other city In
the country.
REV. DIR. BURrsELI.
The rum0r that the Rev. DR.. Bartsell,
pastor Of the Church Of the Epiphany, has
received official notice from Rome that he
must leave his past0rate next sunday may
be true, hut il cannot bc confirmed IN &C.
clesiastical circles.
PASSENGERS ON THE 'L' TRAIN.

many passengers who ride laily on the
trains of the 81" road ever stop 10 consider
what proportion they represent of the traffic
on the different roads. From latest statis-
ties it is shown that GO0,000 passengers. or
over One-third Of the population Of this cit,
use this means Of transportation every day
of their lives. This statement furnishes
food tor many an interesting argument, but
il is nevertheless true. The city Hall sta
II a eaNlf
day, which is the largest sale on either
of the four lines. The station at Eighth
avenue and one Hundred AMI Twenty-first
street, on the downtown side, Is the second
largest in the sale Of tickets. In averages
eight thousand tickets a day. The total
number Of tickets torn or and sold by the
agents AT the different stations averages 2l6,-
100000 annually. Len attached and
stretched like a surveyors tape along the
tracks Of the New York Central Railroad,
the tape would almost reach Rochester.
THE BROOKLYN BRIDGE
The Brooklyn bridge is fed BY an The 81"
roads. Bridge President Jauies Howell,
who looks fayoraLly on the question Of the
construction of another bridge over the
East river, said in reply to an interview
with him on the subject Brooklyn needs
at least two bridges and their construction
should be commenced at once. II some
action is not taken BroOklyn's population
will cease to increase and the people Will
seek homes in Jersey. The travel over the
present bridge, too, IL increasing L. per
cent per month. and will soon become eV-
tremcly dangerous, because Of oyCrcrowd-
ing. Travel has increased up 10 every IN
provement 50 far made within ninety days.
If there were no Interruption from property
owners. politicians, crOakers and cranks,
new bridge could be completed within three
years. As things are now, however, IT
would take six.
AMERICAN CATTLE TRADE.
Dr. ID. T.. salmon, chief Of the BLneau of
Animal Industry. Washington, and the
three United states veterinary inspectors
will leave tomorrow for Europe, by order
of Secretary Leslie Of the Department Of
Agriculture. Dr. Salmon will enter upon

terests of the American cattle trade. BE-
fore they leave they viii be entertained by
the Bureau of Animal Industry OF The >tata
of New York, who will give dinner in
their honor at ClaIke's.
GRAVEYARD As a PARK.
One Of New lOrk's Oldest gra.e-yanls,
situate between ClarksOn and LEROY streets.
and owned by the Trinity Church CORPORA
ton, will likely be converted by the city
into "A public park. The Trinity corpora
tOa IL opposed 10 the taking of the property
by The city, and will light the project in
every way possible. The estimated cost Ot
park on this site IL SjO0,OOO, Of whicl,
amount the city will pay half and the
pronerty owners in the vicinity the other
half.

! the Louisville station is the first step in
