spectre must be caught or the delusion,

BIG TROLLEY FIGHT AHEAD.
Flynn's Syndicate May Be
Blocked by an Injunction.
Work Under "Cold Thirteeno Franz
chises to Be Contested.

1t was announced in Brooklyn on the
best authority this morning tina the
signing OF the contract for the construc-
ton of 100 miles Of new trolley lines for
the Nassau Electric Railroad Company
will reopen the fight against the p. H.
Flynn syndicate begun by william ].
Gfynor and Edward NJ. Grout, and thai
all the old allegations of scandal will
again be aired.
Lawyer Edward NJ. Grout is watching
the Railroad Company, with a view of
beginning an action in court as soon as
ground Is broken on certain portions of
the proposed ioute. Work has already
been begun on the Thirty-ninth street
branch. and next week 1t is expected
that 600 men will be put to work on the
other lines.
AS soon as this is done by the Nassau
Company application will be made for
an Injunction restraining the Flynn syn
dictate from constructing the roads. The
Injunction Will be asked on the ground
that the thirteen members Of the old
Board OF Aldermen illegally granted the

privileges. The Aldermen refused the
offer. and gave Flynn. the friend Of Sen
ator Corey, who was then President OF
the Board, the right to construct roads
on nearly every available street.
The only line not covered in Mr.. Adam
son's petition is the Thirty-ninth street
route, where work has begun. James c..
Church, counsel for Flynn. stated to-
day that the Adamson people had
warned his clients that as soon as work
was begun on the other routes they
would apply. for an Injunction on the
anne grounds which they argued be-
fore the Aldermen.
p. H. Flynn. when seen by an Even
ing World" reporter, said:
I'VE are getting in iron for the other
routes, but as yet we have only be-
gun work on the Thirty-ninth street
route. The other routes are, or may
be. In litigation If we begin work now.
We have not decided upon our plan
The most peculiar part OF the new
that a contract has been signed for the
construction OF the new roads Is the
announcement that Flynn now only
holds a minority Of the stock of the
Company.
Mr.. Flynn has always denied The
transfer of the stock, and now we'll
posted persons think the action proves
beyond all doubt, that there Is a pickan-
niny in the w%oodpile.
1t Is expected that when the injunc-
ton proceedings are taken into court
they will be attended by more sensa-
tional evidence than has been hereto
fore revealed.

Mallon After Facts to Use in His
Canvass for President.

II is estimated that there are 1900
persons in Brooklyn connected with
building n loan associations. Every
one of them SHOULD be interested in a
test case that came before Justice

states that the members can inspect the
books Of their association whenever
they desire to do so.

ed Justice Pratt for a peremptory writ
Of mandamus to compel Henry Thomp-
son, President, and w. H.. Rawlins,
Secretary, OF the East Brooklyn CO.

his morning. They denied fatty every
statement made by Mallon. This raised
question of fact. A Judge cannot de-

tent with an alternative writ Of manda-
mus. which will necessitate a trial Of
the facts by jury. In the meantime the
