1t Looks as If Lehigh Valley Would
Cross Linden and Gator
Avenues at Grade.

Surveyors were at work in Greenville
yesterday afternoon surrounding the
Lehigh Valley Railroad property in the
vicinity tLinden avenue They ascer-
tanned the dead level Of the avenue, and
then transferred the base of their opera
tions to Gator avenue. where the same
measurements were made.
Why are you making these measure
mentss" / asked one Of the men.
Mind your own d business, was
the reply.
What are they up to now?" asked a
prominent Greenville citizen this morn
ing. f"Going to cross the street at
gradef"
In order TO reach the property along the
shore front the company must cross the
street at grade, and it now looks as
though they intended 10 do SO.
A gang OF men are at work laying the
tracks along the canal. and the work has
been completed to point about three
hundred feet east of Linden avenue, and
they are going right ahead as though
they Intended TO cross the avenue at
grade.
The Sixth District Citizens Association
will have represe ntative on the ground g
to watch them. and II they lay their
tracks across the avenue at grade the
city authorities will at once be notified.

Sam Sings business is apparently pros

not stand his disgusting appearance, and,
besides, were afraid Of disease. On Mon
day night several toughs assaulted and

beauty. He works all alone, and is said

JUDGE DEPUB's RAILWAY LAW.

1t Does Not Open tho Way for Aggres-
sions on Public Streets.
Lawyer Gilbert Collins was asked this
morning ii he thought Justice Depue's
opinion. fled yesterday. defining the
rights of railroad companies to cross
streets Of cities and villages. implied that
the Lehigh Valley Railroad Company
could cross Pacific or Commuuipaw ave
nues without permission of the city auth
critics.
In delivering his opinion, Justice Depue
held that the grant to a railroad company
by its charter of power to lay out and
construct a railway carries with IL the
power to cross streets within the location
OF its road without any special grant to
that effect.
Mr.. Collins said:-"The general rail.
road law of 1873 is plain In declar-
ing that permission must first
be obtBined by railroad company of the
Common Council of a city before it could
cross street with tracks at grade. The
Erie Road, with which Justice Depue was
dealing when he delivered his opinion,
had already secured permission to lay its
tracks at grade. Justice Depue merely
decided that after permission to lay
tracks had been secured, the municipal
corporation had no right to say the street
should not be dug up in constructing the
tracks,"

A New York Lumber Factory the Scene
of n Dreadful Accident.

A New York Lumber Factory the Scene
of Dreadful Accident.
Three firemen were seriously injured,
one Of them dangerously. at a fire In
p olice Commissioner John McClave's big
lumber yard on Eleventh avenue, be-
tween TweDty-flrst and Twentysecond

nue., which was occupied by. Weldemar

Department. succeeded In getting the
flames under control, but during their
efforts two of their number received
severe injuries, while n third was badly
bruised and shaken up.

two, and john Duffy. aged thirty-four,
both of Engine Company No. "a, were on
a ladder at the third floor in :he rear Of
the burning building directing o heavy
stream upon the flames from that point.
The pressure on the line of hose was so
great that IL became unmanageabie and
threw both firemen head-first down the
ladder.
Hoseman John McNeely, of the same
company, stood at the bottom OF the lad
der, and his falling comrades alighted on
his shoulders.
All three went to the ground together
and were picked up for dead; but Me-
Neely soon revived and was able to GO to
his engine house
Duffy and Ahearn were taken to the
New York Hospital, where It was found
that Duffy had sustained fracture of

he would not recover. Ahearn received
two severe scalp wounds.

Ii is often asked In connection with the

really is that flannel Is poor conductor,
