NEW STATION HUUSE.


CreenviIle Likely to Get One without
Loss of Time
The prospects are that tae residents of
Greenville will have a new police station
sooner than they expected. The Police
Com missioners were somewhat surprised
yesterday when Clerk Robinson read u
communication from 10 n A. Effray
owner of the building now used as the
Fifth Precinct Station House. to the
effect that it must be vacated May /.
Il am glad to hear it," said President
Feeney. "rhis Boa d has done all in its
power to have a new station built In that
part of the city, but our efforts have been
without avail and / now hope thai our
Senator, who is present, will at once pre-
pare bill which will give us the right to
proceed Immediately with the work"
THAT'S what Pm here for" interrupted
Senator Hudspeth. "and what want to
kEow is how much money you need."
President Feepey promised to attend to
the matter, and it is probable that before
the end of next week bill will be pre-
sented to the Senate giving the authori-
ties the assistance required for the con-
struction of a station house in Green
Vile.
A communication from the Central
Stock Yard Company asked that j. H.
Moles be given special police powers. The
matter was referred to the Superintend-
ent with power.

s. B. RANS0M'S SUIT.
The Ballot Law to be Reviewed by the
supreme Court.

The Ballot Law to be Reviewed by the
supreme Court.
Judge Knapp this morning granted
Stephep B. Ransom writ OF certiorari
to remove into the Supreme Court for re-
view the verdict obtained against him
by Daniel Black for violating the new
ballot reform law. This is the suit
brought by the Prohibi;ionists to test the
coustitutiouality of the new law.
MIR. Rausom's reasons for the GER
tirori were that the act is unconstitu-
tional as a whole; because he sec
tion upon which the present suit
was brought is unconstitutional be-
cause the act violates the
article of the State Constitution, entitled
"Rights and Privileges" because the
section providing for the payment
for official ballots by the coun-
ty violates that article of
the Constitution. which provides that no
donation of land or appropriation of
money shall be made by the State to or
for the use Of any society. association
or corporation whatsoever. Mr.. Ransom
claims that political parties are among
the associations meant by The law.
Another reason was because The law
violates the section OF the Constitution
which declares that the LEGISLATURE shall
not pass private or local laws granting o
any corporation, association or individual
any exclusive privilege, immunity or
franchise Whatever"
The writ will ne argued as soon as the
case can be made ready.

BIG STABLE FIRE.
Knickerbocker's Ice COmpany's
Old Buildings Destroyed.

NEW YORK, Jan. 16. 1892.-Fire broke
out In the old abandoned Knickerbocker
Ice Company stables. in Bank street. near
Thirteenth avenue, ut ten minutes to ten
O'Clock this morning, and In less than an
hour $4,000 worth of property lay in
ashes. The seven-story grain warehouse
of Van Tassel & Co.. that adjoins the old
stable, with all its valuable contents, is
wiped out.
A dozen workmen who were on the
top floor escaped by perilous climbs
down the large telegraph pole which
stands in front of the burned structure,
were mustered in the street
below, however, and 1t is
believed that they perished in the flames.
Their names are Albert Copp and oseph
Klns.ee. They were both millwrights
employed in setting up the elevator ma
chinery on the top flor.
The gram warehouse was entirely new.
The old structure was burned exactly a
year ago with all its con ents. The pres
ent building WAS seven stories high. 1t
was opened for the reception of grain
only last Sunday, and in three or four
days the machinery would have been en-
tirely flushed.

and 10. 900 sacks of wheat and bran nal
been stored away in the lower stories. 1t
is all destroyed.
A feature of the fire was the probable
destruction of half the Metropolitan
Telephone Company's long distance lines
running out of town.
@ The fire started in the northeast corner
of the old sta BILE close to the new brick
stable. 1t burnt with great rapidity and
had gained considerable Roadway when
the first alarm WIS turned in by Police
man Hall, and in few minutes the en-
tire structure was ablaze.
The warehouse and its contents. it was
learned. were valued at $780, 900. The
Excelsior stores adjoining the warehouse
on the east, which were also the DroDerty
of Van Tassel were valued at $50. 600.
