Objections to Another Assessment for
Street Extensions

Street Extensions.
The Golden Gate Valley Improvement
Club met last night in Tilton Hall, with
City Clerk NJ. c. Haley presiding.
A report was made by committee, which
had been appointed to see the Supervisors
and protest in the name OF the club against
the granting Of the franchise asked by the
Preside and Ferries Railway Company.
The company asked the privilege Of secur-
ing Franklin, Green wch, Steiner and other
streets paralleling its Union-street cable
road, and the property-oW fear that The
application is not being made in good faith,
but only to keep 4 competing line from get
ting a right of way.
Objections are also made to other clauses
in the terms of the franchise desired. and
the property-owners wish the Supervisors
20 refuse the company's request unless an
agreement is made by the company to build
the road with modern motive power, and
that cars must be operated within specl-
fed time. II was stated that the railroad
company, fearing the opposition OF the club,
had secured postponemeut until tomorrow
Of the application. when it again comes be-
fore tie Street Committee OF the Board of
Supervisors.
The property-holders will again appear
before The Supervisors tomorrow. and urge
that the application be taken up and the
franchise refused unless better inducements
are offered,
The action of the Laguua Survey Com
mission in petitioning the Supervisors to
pay deficiency of S105S6 still due as dam
ages for the ODening[of streets through to
the bay was discussed.
The money is due 10 z. W. Burr for land
taken for the opening of Van Ness avenue,
between Filbert and Greenwich streets. \
number Of large owners assessed have failed
and refuse TO pay their pro rata for the eX-
tension OF the street through the Laguna
survey, aud delinquency, therefore, exists.
1t was said that if the money was not
paid out of the general fund an additional
assessment will have to be levied all over
the district, and which will cause much OBJ
iecting.
The Supervisors by agreeing to pay the
S10,5S6 out of the general fund will have to
make provision for this amount TO be raised
out OF the next tax levy. If raised In this
manner it was said that it would amount to
but half of per cent.
The secretary was instructed to commu-
nicate with the Board of Supervisors notify
ing them that the properJy-owners Endorsed
the Laguna Survey Commissioners applica-
ton to donate the money out of the general
fund. The Supervisors will be TT quested to
accede to the demands OF the commissioners
ID. L. Haley reported that the grading of
Lobos square by the city would be COM
menced within month.

TO BE QUICKLY SETTLED.
The Lathers' Union Will Win the
Fight for Union Wages.

The threatened general strike of the
fathers will not mateTialize to the extent
that some of the moro disseminated mem
bers Of the union have expected. The
strike which was ordered for yesterday
stopped work on several buildings, and
would have affected more had the decision
of the members of the union who attended
Monday evenings meeting been known.
The fathers demand to be paid by the
piece and not by the day, as the contractors
have of late forced them to do. They claim
that they can make So per day under the
old rule, whereas at present they do not
average half that amount. Their employers
are mostly members of the Plasterers'
Union, and, recognizing the justice of the
claim from union point of view, are ac-
ceding to the demand very promptly.
Unless q special meeting is called the
union Will not meet again until next Mon
day evening. The trouble can easily be
settled before that time. rs the strikers
have practically won the fight before it was
fairly begun.
The lethers' organization is compare
lively new one, and this is their first for
NAL appearance in the labor world in any
but passive mood.

VICTIM OF BRoTHERS-IN-LAW
Heinrich Lay Tells How He Was
Forced Into Matrimony.

Forced Into Matrimony.
Heinrich Lay tells a peculiar story OF
how he came to marry his wife Sophie. from
whom he divorce. The case was referred
by Judge CARRIER to Court Commissioner
to take testimony. and the report was filed.
The plaintiff testified that he is a very
yourg man and never thought of getting
married that the two brothers of his wife
came to him one day and told him that their
sister Sophie was in delicate condition and
that 1t was his duty to marry her. He claims
that he hardly knew the girl at all and so
refused to marry, upon which the wicked
brothers made threats, then came back again
with a lawyer and a police officer had him
taken to the Foisom-street station, where,
on threats of incarceration, he submitted to
the bonds of matrim0ny being tied. Judge
CARRIER has annulled the marriage.

RAILROAD JoTTINGs.

There has been an increase of about 30 freight cars day on the New England road since the recent deal of the Phila- delphia and Reading. The road now runs about 60 freight trins daily, with from 200 to 400 cars. The officials say the business was never so good as it is now. Most of the extra freight comes from the Philadelphia and Reading road in Hartford and at Hopewell and from the Erie road at Fishkil Landing by ferry from Newburg.
 The passenger and freight traffic on the New York and New England road is ex- tremely heavy just at present. Passenger trains are delayed but very little on ac- count of the cold weather, and the major fly are run on scheduled time. In con- nection with the freight traffic the reports show that for December 23 and 24 there were 20 trains day in each direction. This means that an immense amount of freight Is being carried. large part of this Is coal, but the general freight business Is very much heavier than it was six months ago. Forty crews of freight train men are kept in active service.-- [Danbury News.
