WfVHlTTfN IT ITS OID DEJICEN


The Manhattan Railway IS having busy time
~ 1t at Albany lately. Its chief concern at th"
State Capital is to prevent the passage Of any
rapid.iranst act that Will interfere with the
MONOPOLY II now controls IN this city by the
grace Of Tammany But 1t has other irons 10
heat in the legislative fire There are n least
two other bills one Of which N" company is
trying 10 get enacted and The other 10 defeat.
that deserve the serious and close attention Of
every honest legislator
The first Of these is Senate Bill 40. OIL in
troduccd by Mr.. Owens. Of Brooklyn 1t pro
vidcs that IN the future landdamage actions
against railroads and all similar actions may
be tried either In law or in equity. That looks
innocent enough; at first blush II would seem
to be n benefit 10 the property owner. In reality
II Is an old elevated railroad corporation trick.
II IS in part the celebrated Laughn bill In cX-
press language, and is intended H. accomplish
the same purpose aS the Mcknight bill In
other words, if an action can he tried either
in law or In equity. then. according 10 an an
cent rule. The courts can Try only eat law"
If an action be- triablc at law, il must he tried
before jury. That involves multtudlnous
delays and complications, such as the Manhat-
tan attorneys delight In. and such as they have
praclised for many years TO defeat the property
owners.
still more serious point Is that only in
equity can an injunction be granted. Without
an injunction the Manhattan need not pay at
all unless IL peaSCS. not To pay AT all would
be still more in harmony with Manhattan
strategy The Mcknight and the Laughlin bills
were opposed by the lawyers Of the entire
state; special action taken by the State
Bar Association, strong language was used
about the matter In the Court Of Appeals and
various other courts, and the press of the State
exposed the character of the Influences that
originated and pushed those measures through
the Legislature. Fortunately, the Court Of Ap-
pcals saw its way clear TO declare the inva-
lidity Of the Mcknight act, or the State would
now be suffering from the rcvolutionizng Of
the ancient Jurisprudence, the only excuse for
which was TO serve the unworthy purposes Of
this mastcrful corporation. one experience OF
that kind Is enough. the Legislature will
soon discover II 1t passes this bill

tan Company Is strainlng every nerve to defeat

RAPID TRANSIT COMPLICATIONS.

Postponement Of action on the Rapid Transit
bills from yesterday until to-day Is rather en-
conraging than Otherwise. We hope il means
that Republican Senators are aware of the pop
ular demand that they shall agree 10 support
a WISE prudent, economical and practicable
plan for supplying New-York City with an in
dspcnsablc necessity. Such plan Is embodied
in the original Chamber Of Commerce bill. and
nowhere else That bill in It's amended form is
a dangerous measure. which Republican
LEGISLATURE ought 10 pass. Indeed. ii Is little
better than the Butts-Lcxow BILL which, though
improved by the modification which it has I'M
dergone. is still thoroughly adapted to the
trcacherous purposes Of Tammany Hall
In our opinion, the Legislature ought TO pass
the Chamber Of Commerce bill In the form In
which it was presented, leaving TO the Governor
the sole responsibility for defeating, If he dare
the will Of the people and betraylng their well
fare Some Of the changes proposed would not
necessarily destroy or even greatly diminish its
value, but they are not essential, and we do not
believe they are advisable from any point OF
view. There are other amendments which are
utterly unwarrantabc. 1t is worse than fool
ish. for example. TO ntrust TO Mayor Gilroy the
choice OF the Commission. The referendum
clause also ought TO be stricken out and the
distinguishing feature OF the original bill re-
oulring the Commission 10 contract with an In
diydual or corporation to build equip, main
tain and operate any rapdtransit roads for
which the city may issue bonds ought 10 be
retained precisely as it was drawn. In the
amended form 1t Is somewhat obscured. This
is the measure which the people want passed.

or reason 1t is easy to see how 1t may work
monstrous injustice. The bill to correct this
abuse is supported by lawyers Of the highest
standing and character in the community; 1t IS
opposed only by the elevated railroads. lf 1t Is
defeated it will not be difficult to fix the re-
sponsibility upon those who have been con-
cerncd I'm the queer movements OF the legis-
lative machinery through which the bill has
been passing Every publlcspiricd legislator
should ut once free himself from such RESPONSE

A WONDERFUL SPRING.

You are respectfully invited to come
over and test the waters of "Bonny.deil
Spring" just opened up to the public. You
will find it one OF the prettiest fountains OF
water you ever saw. The water percolates
through sohd bed of stone into large
basin cut and hewn out for the purpose.
The basin is quite ornamental, being COM
posed of three or four kinds of stone of
different shades of color, viz quartz Of
three colors, shale felspar, hornblend, mica
(variegated), and something resemble ag
soapstone that is of the greenish color
unctuous to the touch and saponaceous.
1t is an established and a well authentica
ted fact that all these minerals contain
many chemical properties that would nat
urally render the water mineral to some
extent. We will have it analysed in a
short while and give the analysis to the
public. We extend cordial invitation
to one and all and request that you come
and taste, test and judge for youIself
The spring contrary to the natural order
of springs is ensconced under boulder OF
rock upon the side of the hill presenting a
quaint, queer and odd appearance 1t
affords a bountifnl supply OF water, as
clear ard sparkling as crystal sheen, that
is soft but palatabie to the taste. The
spring is located near the road leading

His Funeral Took Place at the Presby-

at ; O'Clock.

1t is our sad duty to record the

who mated mean thing and loved
that which was good. He was a
good citizen and a firm friend. AS
