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

1t was announced in Brooklyn on the
best authority this morning that the
signing of the contract for the construc-
tion 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 J.
Gaynor and Edward NJ. Grout. and that
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 route. Work has already
branch, and next week It Is expected
that 600 men will be put to work on the
other lines.
AS soon as this is done by the Nassau
an Injunction restraining the Flynn syn
dicate 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
franchises.
When the franchises were given away
yer Grout, in behalf OF his client. John
Adamson. offered $255 900 for the same
privileges. The Aldermen refused the

on nearly every available street
The only line not covered in Mr.. Adam
sons 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
same grounds which they argued be-
fore the Aldermen.
p. II. Flynn, when seen by an Even
Ing World reporter. said:
"We 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 II we begin work now
We have not decided upon our plan
of action yet"
The most peculiar part OF the news
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 woodpile,
1t is expected that when the injunc-
tion proceedings are taken into court
they will be attended by more sensa-
tional evidence than has been hereto

with John Y. McKane in the Gravesend
election frauds.
The men had not been treated as COM
mon prisoners. and II Is an open secret
that many rules Of the jail were vio-
lated In their favor. Sheriff Buttling
this morning departed from the rule
generally observed by allowing the in
spectors to be released at 730 o'clock,
while ordinary prisoners are never re-
leased from the Jail before s o'clock
For this reason several Of the inspec-
tors friends from Gravesend missed
them.
The four inspectors went straight to
Coney Island after gaining their free
dom.
There are still three inspectors in

men were sentenced by Judge Brown
to serve thirty days in jail and pay a
fine Of $3.50. They will be released to-

cept John Y. McKane are serving their
