CABlE-CAR BLOCKADE
Third Avenue Line Tied Or
Nearly Two Hours
Trouble Caused by the Cable Part
ing at Chambers Street.
Horses Had to Be Used at tho Park
Row Curve.

The breaking Of what Is known as the
slow cable on the Third Avenue Gable
Railroad at 1910 o'clock this forenoon
caused a long and troublesome delay to
the public and the Company. The cars
were stopped all along the line, and the
Second avenue and East Broadway cars,
which run ON the Third avenue tracks
south OF Grand street, were also de-
layed.
The cable parted at the Chambers street
crossing, on the up track, and when the
break was found the ends of the big
wire were half a block apart.
The break was quickly indicated at the
Bayard street power-house of the com
pany. where the cable became twisted
on the huge cylinders. The big engines
were quickly stopped. and Master Me
chanic Samuel Berrian and force Of
ten men jumped into the repair wagon
which is always in readiness at the
power-house, and were rapidly driver
down to the bridge.
AS the exact location OF the break
was not known, II required close
search at the man-holes or shafts and
into the narrow slot OF the cable con
beers street was reached, when one of the
workmen discovered one end OF bro.
ken cable, and Mr.. Berrian found tn,
other half way up the block.
When a cable breaks the ends are
generally found 500 or go yards apart.
said Mr.. Berrian. 1--WE are fortunat,
to find the broken ends of this on.
such short distance apart 1t vii
take several hours to haul this broker
wire into the power-house and splice II
This cable is used on the curves, ant
its parting will necessitate the use OF
horses at the Post-Omce terminus unit
We can repair it In the mean time
the cars can be run by means of tn,
other two cables, the horses being re
quired TO draw the cars where tn,
grips cannot take hold"
At % the broken cable was dropped
down into the conduit, so that t woul,
not interfere with the opera ton of tn,
other cables, and the cars were started
all along the line. Horses were used Il
make the transfer around the Park Row
curve, near the Post-Office.

WILL NOT SIGN IT.
Cleveland Will Let tho Tariff Bill
Eecome Law bv Limitation.
Congressman vainIy Urge Him to
Change His Mind.
They Say His Signature Will Aid
Them in the Campaign.
By Annotated Presk)


WASHINGTON. Aug. 23.-The Presi-
dent remains firm in his purpose to let
the Tariff bill become law without his
signature. This. as was stated by the
Associated Press at the time. was his
intention when he left Washington for
Gray Gables, and there is excellent
authority for the statement that Mr..
Cleveland, since his return, has indi-
Gated that he Is Of the same opinion as
before he left here.
A great deal OF pressure has been and
is still being exerted TO induce him to
forego his present purpose and to sign
the bill, either with or without some
message expressing his views, but the
President gave no encouragement to
those who have pressed views of this
nature upon his attention. and has indi-
Gated that he will allow the bill to be-
come law by expiration of the ten
days CLAUSE of the Constitution.
The persons most urgent in suggesting
to the President that he sign the bill
are members of Congress who have
represented very strongly that a sigma
ture of the bill will help them consid-
erably In their defense of 1t In the
coming campaign, and that should 1t not
prevail indicated by Mr.. Clevelsnds sig.
nature their position on the stump will
be embarrassed to some extent at east.
! Speaker Crisp and a number OF other
congressman have presented this view
of the matter. and the Speaker saw
Mr.. Cleveland to-day, on the subject.
SO far as can he learned the Presl.
| dents attitude has been one of patient
listening TO and consideration OF the ar,
guments presented, but he has refrained
carefully from making any promises oil
giving encouragement to Congressmer
who wish the bill signed. A veto OF
the bill, however. Is not even suggested
II cannot become "A law without the
Presidential autograph until next Mon
day, and. this being the case, the sd.
Journment OF Congress will hardly take
place before next Tuesday.
The fact that II is Mr.. Cleveland's pur-
pose TO permit the bill 10 become law
without his signature Is also a strong
indication OF the lmprobability OF any
message on the Tariff from the President.

Especial to The Evening world.)
SANDY HOOK, Aug. "a child muir
der was revealed to-day by the washing
Up on Bayside Beach, half a mile to the
north Of Camp Low, of a woman's hand
bag containing the body Of a girl baby.
The satchel was picked UP by a
beachcomber. who at first thought II
a rich find. 1t was of good leather,
had evidently not been long in use,
and was quite heavy.
Upon opening 1t, the finder was horri-
fed to discover, doubled UP In 1t, the
body Of a child that apparently was not
more than a week old at the time Of its
death.
There was no clothing upon the body.
but around the child's neck were tied
some linen rags, and It is almost GER
tain that these caused the little ones
death by strangulation, before she was
put in the satchel and thrown over
board. -- -T E.-sss-' a.,

dent purpose Of sinking 1t, was q brick
The gruesome ind was reported tr
First Sergt. Abbott, Of the Sandy Hool
detachment. and he reported 1t to hi,
superior officers
Word was at once telegraphed to the
Coroner at Long Branch. and he was
requested to take charge of the body.
The handbag may furnish a clue to
the Identity OF the child and also to the
person or persons who caused her death
There is much speculation as to
whether the crime was committed on
shore or on board some outgoing ocean
steamer. The presence of the brick In
the handbag rather supports a theory
that the child was killed on shore and
put in it's peculiar coffin there. but the
bag may have afterwards been taken
aboard some coastwise or ocean
steamer and dropped into the sea.
There are thousands Of bricks Of the
size and color Of the one found In the
bag at all Of the seaside resorts that
border upon Sandy Hook Bay.
