Supt. Cannon declares that his COM

After long discussion In the offices
of Davies. Stone e. Auerbach, Messrs.

the office Of A b. Boardman, counsel ,iIss
Mr.. Carroll rendered $4,000 in cash.
Mr.. Boardman offered to give re-
ceipt for that amount and asked to be
given until Thursday at noon before
leaving the ferry slip at Whitehall
street.
To this arrangement Carroll and his
counsel objected. After long argument
they decided to pay the money and take
possession on Thursday at noon. This
was agreed to by the Rapid Transit Com
pany.
There is an apparent hitch to the mat
ter, however; inasmuch as the United
Company, served notice that Carroll
would pay the $4,000 at his peril, So
the transfer may not take place on
Thursday after all.
