Battery was the most questionable part
OF the project. The approaches to the
Jersey City water trout were now so
congested that the Pennsylvania Road, at
enormous cost. was elevating all its tracks.
How freight was to be got down to the
tunnel unless the approach began away
back In the Newark meadows, seemed
difficult to imagine. Possibly the con-
nection TO be afforded was with the Jer-
sey Central, and not the Pennsylvania,
where terminal charges were excessive.
Without an immense freight busi-
ness such construction as
tunnel between Jersey City and
Brooklyn would never pay, even IL the
tracks to the tunnel could be extended
far enough into Jersey to get freight
cheaply down under the bay.
How IL was to be got out on the Brooklyn
side was a mystery yet unsolved. Mr..
Wiman added. The approach TO the
Brooklyn shore by tunnel would be very
far below the water line, aud as the hill
in Atlantic avenue got higher the further
one went inland, it was impossible TO
see how freight cars could be lifted up to
get their contents back again 10 the wa
ter side and into Brooklyn warehouses.
The scheme was good for Montauk
Point, good for the Long Island Road,
and a splendid conception for COM
munication with New York. but how it
was going to make Brooklyn shipping ac-
cessible or Brooklyn's shore front ayaila-
Bile was not yet app rent.

THE POOR FIRE SERVICE.
Points from the Annual Report OF Chief
Engineer Farrier.

Points from the Annual Report OF Chief
Engineer Farrier.
The Fire Commissioners are in session
this afternoon. Chief Farrier has
precipitated his annual report. 1t
deals mainly with the condition of the
Department. He criticises sharply the
condition of portion of the apparatus as
being Of that class which has outlived its
usefulness.
The Chief recommends the purchase OF
a new aerial hook and ladder truck, which
he says is very much needed in the lower
section of the city.
The extension ladders with which the
present trucks are supplied are toe
cumbersome and heavy.
He say 1t is almost a miracle thar no
Ii YES have been lost during fires which
have recently occurred in six and seven
story flats.
He wishes to be relieved of all RESPONSE
bility In the matter should the depart
ment fail of its duty when the day of trial
comes.
The city, he declares, is long way
behind the times in modern fire 'appara-
tus, but does not seek to throw the blame
upon the commissioners, they having
asked for appropriations from time to
time without avail.
The Chief further calls attention to the
fact that large number of high dwell
fngs are not even furnished with fire
escapes, although law prohibiting this
exists.
He is glad to see that the Board of
Aldermen is making a move in the
matter. He advises an abandonment OF
the Erie street coal depot. as the building
is dilapidated and dangerous.
There were 26l fires during the year,
only three, however, of a serious nature.
The total losses at these three fires were
SIO3. 600.

COUNCILMEN AT WAR.

MIR. sherer, of the West New York Coun-
ell, Going for Mr.. Darling's Scalp.
There was an exceedingly lively time at
the meeting OF the West New York Com
mon Council last evening.
Several members called each other liars
and Chairman Swartz was obliged to call
in the police to maintain order.
The trouble was caused by an attempt
to investigate Councilman Scherer's accu-
sation that Councilman Darling had
misappropriated s321.4 of the fund of the
fire department.
Scherer purchased $50 badges for the
fire department which were rejected be-
cause they were not lettered correctly
and Scherer had to pay for them.
Darling was one of the chief opponents
20 accepting the badges, and in the heat
Of the debate Scherer made his charge.
Darling has threatened to sue Council
man Scherer for defamation of character,
and the latter, in public, defied him, say
ing that it would do him (Darling) more
harm than good
In all probability the taxpayers will call
a mass meeting, and compel the council
to investigate the charges brought against
Councilman Darling thoroughly.

BURGLARS Gagged.


Two Policemen Caught Them in the
Very Act-A Thin Story.
The police think they have at last cap
tured the would-be burglars who for
some time past have been attempting to
enter various down town stores
Just before three o'clock this morning
Patrolman Hunt espied two men trying
doors along Washington street. near
Plymouth. While ne was watching them
Patrolman Braumwald came within hail
ing distance. The men disappeared near
the steps of the old Provident Savings
Bank, and were soon afterward espied
fooling around the door OF Thomas Red
dy's beer saloon.
An explanation of their conduct was de-
manded, and further examination re-
vealed a wooden wedge between the two
front doors. One of the men, too, had a
chisel, and a penknife lay upon the step.
Both men were taken 10 the First Pre-
cinct Station House, where they gave
their names as Henry Redman, OF No. 50
Montgomery street, this city, and George
Russell, of New York.
When arraigned in the First District
Police Court this morning Russell
claimed he had nothing to do with Red
man. He had just arrived from Philadel-
phia and merely stopped 10 talk few
moments with him. Redman corrobo-
rated Russells story, but Justice Stllsln z
committed both for trial.

or all fiends that ever breathed William
P Rhett. of New York, the young man
arrested in Courtlandt street night be-
age in town, seems to De the Champion.
Three of the little girls live in this city.
Detective Dalton. in company with an
officer of Gerry's Society for the Proven
tion OF Cruelty to children nave been
securing this city since yesterday after
noon in search Of the three girls who
ran away when Detective Vail, of
the New York steamboat squad
stumbled upon Rhett trying to entice
them into the coach. Mary Williams, the
listle newsgirl of No. 1872 Montgomery
of the New York authorities. When l
visited her home this morning
] again found the door locked on
the outside with a paddock. ascertained
that her mother was employed as scrub
woman at T. c. Brown & Van Anglen's,
but IN enquiry there was told she only
scrub bbed there on Fridays.
Detective Dalton's search was rewarded
this morning by stumbling upon two
of the other girls. They are Katie
Flynn, tolerably prepossessing lit
lie girl of twelve years, who lives
and Marie Satiski, little Polish girl,
eleven years old who really looks no
older than an ordinary nine year-old
girl The latter goes TO school at st.
Mary's Institute in Third street. and both
the little girls sell papers in the
afternoon and evening. The Satiski
girl often goes by the name of Kelly.
Both girls tell horrible story OF their es-
capades with RhetI.
They deny that they went TO any house
in Wooster street, but for some weeks
past have taken long rides in a
closed coach through the streets
OF New York. Night before
last they all met Rhett in front OF Tay-
lor's Hotel. In crossing the ferry Rhett
kept aloof from the girls. 1t is thought
Matt Laliy, the conchnan, who, as soon.
as ne saw Detective Vail on 10 Rhett, re-
fused to carry out his bargain,
knew of Rhett's villainies, and
that he had driven them around
The streets OF New York before. He, too,
has been placed under arrest. The case
will come up in the Torabs Police Court
tomorrow morning.
The parents of both girls are poor. and
when Detective Dalton visited the Flynn
girl he found the family munchinc unon
dry crusts of bread. The officer of the
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
10 Children gave the mother
n dollar to procure decent meal for her
family. Her father has been out of work
for q long while.
Another, and the main witness against
Rhett, and who has acted as a decoy to
the other girls has not yet been arrested.

No Fear but Young Saloon Keeper War

1t is now thought that Wardell. the
young Harrison saloon keeper who was
shot at eleven O'Clock last night by his
stepfather, John Thompson. will live.
The bullet penetrated hh right lung,
and while it is dangerous and particu-
larry painful wound, the doctors this
morning held out fair hopes of his recov-
cry.
Thompson the would-be-murderer, is
an old man over sixty years of age I'M
medately after the shooting he was ar
rested by Policeman Egan and confined
In the town jail.
He was very drunk at the time, but
this morning when he awoke he remem-
bered the full particulars of the shooting
He said he had fired shot at Wardell
but did not express the least coutrition
about it, nor did he inquire whetheE his
victim were alive or dead.
The saloon No. 10 John street, where
the shooting occurred. is very respect
able place, and the Wardells bear a good
reputation in the neighborhood.
Old Thompson, however, enjoys quite
a local notoriety, and seems to possess a
singular procliyfty for getting into rows
